Shi Lekang was so angry that his face turned red, but he dared not make a move because of the rule that no one could fight in the city.

Moreover, going to the city lord's mansion to argue with them would be tantamount to walking into a trap.

Just when Shi Lekang was in a dilemma, Chen Tianwen stepped forward.

"Tie Haizhi, right?"

Chen Tianwen looked at Tie Haizhi and said calmly.

Tie Haizhi looked at the suddenly appearing young man and realized that even with his perfected Celestial Immortal cultivation, he couldn't see through the other party's strength. He couldn't help but become a little wary. Could it be that the Shi family had latched onto some powerful patron again?

Thinking of this, the cautious Tie Haizhi said:

"I am Tie Haizhi. This is a feud between the Tie family and the Shi family. Please don't get involved."

Chen Tianwen smiled dismissively and said:

"I didn't want to get involved in this mess, but unfortunately, that fleshy blob next to you is the one I punched!"

Tie Musheng hated being called "meatball" the most. Now, unexpectedly, with his ancestor here, Chen Tianwen dared to insult him. He was immediately angered and jumped up to yell at Chen Tianwen:

"You're the meatball! Your whole family are meatballs!"

"Smack!"

Another crisp slap sent Tie Musheng flying, rolling far away on the ground.

"If I weren't afraid of smashing you to pieces and splattering oil all over me, that last sentence would have been enough to kill you hundreds of times over!"

Chen Tianwen said with annoyance as he wiped the oil stains off his hands.

"You, you!"

Tie Haizhi pointed at Chen Tianwen, his hands and feet trembling with anger. Some members of the Tie family ran to check on Tie Musheng's injuries.

Chen Tianwen waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry, he won't die from that slap!"

Shi Lekang also realized what was happening, and quickly tugged at Chen Tianwen's sleeve, whispering:

"Young friend, fighting is forbidden within the city! You've gotten yourself into big trouble! The Tie family are lackeys of the City Lord's Mansion, and they'll definitely file a serious complaint against you there!"

Chen Tianwen shook his head and said dismissively:

"It's nothing, it's just teaching a disrespectful ant a lesson. Lord Stream City dares not say anything!"

Shi Lekang, however, thought that Chen Tianwen had only recently arrived in the Xuanxian Realm and was unaware of its rules. He believed that Chen Tianwen was acting with the same arrogant attitude he had in the lower realm and would suffer sooner or later.

Unlike Shi Lekang's anxiety, Tie Haizhi was somewhat surprised. He hadn't seen Chen Tianwen's movements at all, which meant that Chen Tianwen's strength far exceeded his own.

Tie Haizhi naturally dared not lay a hand on Chen Tianwen, but since Chen Tianwen had broken the city lord's rules, as long as he reported it to the city lord, someone would naturally come out to deal with Chen Tianwen.

Seeing that Tie Musheng had only fainted, Tie Haizhi knew that with Chen Tianwen present, the Tie family wouldn't gain any advantage. He waved his hand at his subordinates and said:

"Walk!"

Before leaving, Tie Haizhi said fiercely to Chen Tianwen and Shi Lekang:

"You wait here, I'll go and report to the city lord right now and have him punish you!"

Even though he knew he couldn't beat Chen Tianwen, Tie Haizhi still had to say the polite things he was supposed to say.

Tie Haizhi wanted to say something harsh to save face, but Chen Tianwen stopped him.

"Want to leave? I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Chen Tianwen stopped the Tie family members, his eyes full of amusement.

"What do you want? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the City Lord's Mansion?"

Tie Haizhi felt a little guilty, so he had no choice but to bring up the City Lord's Mansion again, hoping that Chen Tianwen would have some reservations.

Chen Tianwen shook his head and said:

"Whether the City Lord's Mansion will hold us accountable is a matter for later. Now, tell me, how should we settle the score for all of you shouting and frightening my sister when you arrived?"

"Your sister?"

Tie Haizhi didn't react for a moment, but since Xiaoxue was the only woman present, he must be referring to Xiaoxue as his younger sister.

Xiaoxue, who was hiding behind her father, felt a warmth in her heart when she heard Chen Tianwen's words.

"I'll give you two choices: either pay 100,000 top-grade immortal crystals as compensation, or kneel before the Shi family, kowtow, and admit your mistake!"

Chen Tianwen's eyes also turned cold, and his glare made Tie Haizhi shiver.

Tie Haizhi wondered if he had misheard. 100,000 top-grade immortal crystals? Aren't you overestimating the Tie family?

Don't even mention that the Tie family can't come up with 100,000 top-grade immortal crystals. Even if they sold Xishui City, they still wouldn't be able to raise 100,000 top-grade immortal crystals!

The second condition, kowtowing and admitting fault to the Shi family, is even more impossible! The Tie family and the Shi family have been fighting for tens of thousands of years. Although they have had their victories and defeats, neither side will ever back down.

Although Tie Haizhi feared Chen Tianwen's strength, Chen Tianwen's conditions were also unacceptable to Tie Haizhi!

Wait, that's not right. You're the one who hit my grandson, so why do we have to pay you money and apologize?

Tie Haizhi suddenly realized that Chen Tianwen's actions were a real insult to the Tie family!

"Boy, let me tell you. Our Tie family is now a favorite of the City Lord's Mansion, highly valued by the City Lord! If you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened today. Otherwise..."

Tie Haizhi was furious. At this moment, anger overcame fear, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke to Chen Tianwen.

Chen Tianwen sneered, interrupting Tie Haizhi, and said coldly:

"Or what?"

Tie Haizhi shuddered, but still managed to say the last words, though his voice trembled, completely lacking the imposing manner he had displayed at the beginning:

"Otherwise, Lord City Lord will definitely not let you off!"

Chen Tianwen shook his head, saying with some disappointment in his voice:

"I never imagined that a former emperor of the Xuan Tian Realm would now be so willing to be someone else's lackey. And when problems arise, you only know how to bring out your master! The phrase 'a dog relying on its master's power' perfectly describes your Tie family!"

Tie Haizhi's expression shifted, utterly humiliated by Chen Tianwen's words. Yes, he had once been the king of the Xuantian Realm! Now…

Tie Haizhi gave a bitter smile. What could I do to ensure the Tie family's survival in the Xuanxian Realm?

Chen Tianwen had no more pity left, and his aura exploded out, enveloping the Tie family members.

Kneel down!

Chen Tianwen shouted loudly, and all the members of the Tie family except for Tie Musheng were forced to kneel on the ground by his imposing aura!

Tie Haizhi was filled with humiliation. Although he had knelt before the city lord countless times, it was only to survive.

But now he was kneeling before his family's enemy of tens of thousands of years. This feeling was worse than being killed.

"Kneel down and admit your mistake!"

As soon as Chen Tianwen finished speaking, his powerful aura forced the heads of the Tie family members to slam heavily to the ground!

Shi Lekang looked at the Tie family members kneeling in front of him, his expression somewhat dazed!
