Chapter 223: You bastard, how dare you slander me? Arrest him
"City Lord Shi, you've arrived just in time, quickly arrest this murderer!"
Outside the Jiang family courtyard, Lin Tutu, the young master of the Lin family, witnessed with his own eyes that his father, ancestor and the elders of the Lin family were killed by Jiang Ming with just one punch. He was filled with fear, and he was worried that Jiang Ming would rush over and punch him too.
Just when he was worried and frightened, several figures fell from the sky like saviors. When Lin Tutu saw who they were, he was overjoyed.
It seems that the noise made when the ancestor was born was too loud, which attracted the Lord of Shi City. Lin Tutu quickly pointed at Jiang Ming, the murderer, and shouted, asking Lord Shi to arrest him.
City Lord Shi glanced at Jiang Ming but did not take action. Instead, he turned his head and stared at Lin Tutu, then said to his men, "Come on, arrest the troublemakers from the Lin family and take them to the government office. I will personally go to court to appeal for the injustice of our victim, Daoist Fellow Jiang Ming."
Lin Tutu: "What? He is the victim?"
Lin Tutu was stunned.
"City Lord Shi, are you crazy? My father and my ancestors both died at the hands of this beast. We are the victims. Besides, you accepted the gift from my Lin family just a month ago, and my grandfather invited you to dinner a few days ago. Now that my Lin family is in trouble, you turn your back on me?"
When Lin Tutu said this in public, City Lord Shi's face changed, and he slapped Lin Tutu, sending him flying: "You bastard, how dare you slander me! When have I ever accepted bribes as an official? I have handed over all the things you sent me to the official warehouse of Qingshan City, so stop playing tricks on me and take him away! Lin Tutu slandered me, and I will give you 200 Foundation Building Killing Sticks when you bring him back to the government office!"
When Lin Tutu heard the 200 Foundation-Building Killing Sticks, his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.
He is only at the Qi Refining stage now, and he was hit with 200 Foundation Building Killing Sticks right away, which was simply to kill him. Shi Qian was trying to kill him for money, and he was going to beat him to death! Lin Tutu fainted from fear, and the City Lord Shi didn't care about him and asked his men to take him away. At this moment, he had already run to Jiang Ming.
"Don't be afraid, fellow Daoist Jiang Ming. I am Shi Qian, the city lord of Qingshan City. I have heard that you are an honest person. I believe you have suffered a great injustice. Don't worry, I will take care of it for you and will not let any bad guy go."
Jiang Ming looked at City Lord Shi who was running over with his hands rubbed. He wondered if he had known this City Lord Shi before. No.
Although Jiang Ming had been in Qingshan City for several years before, he was just a waiter working in Fulai Restaurant. Fulai Restaurant mostly did business with ordinary people. Jiang Ming had not even seen a few cultivators in Qingshan City, let alone the lord of a city.
How could Jiang Ming possibly meet such an important figure?
Jiang Ming said: "City Lord Shi, do we know each other?"
Shi Qian said: "It's the first time we met, but we became acquaintances soon."
At this time, Zhang Feifei turned into a stream of light and fell down.
"Brother Jiang, City Lord Shi is traveling with me. I just saw the commotion here and I vaguely guessed it might be you. I didn't expect it to be true. Why did the Lin family offend you?"
Seeing Zhang Feifei, Jiang Ming understood.
After Zhang Feifei entered the city, he went to discuss business with the Lord of Qingshan City. It makes sense that the Lord of Shi City came for this purpose.
Jiang Ming told everyone about the feud between his third uncle and the Lin family, and Zhang Feifei became furious after hearing it.
"I didn't expect that a small Lin family could cause so much trouble in Qingshan City. It seems that there are many evil spirits in Qingshan City."
Then Zhang Feifei looked at City Lord Shi and said, "City Lord Shi, Brother Jiang and I were ordered by our master to come to Qingshan City to do business. We wanted to open up a prosperous path for the practitioners and the people here, but we never expected to encounter such an injustice in the city.
If Qingshan City is so chaotic, then I'm afraid our business won't be able to proceed smoothly. I think we two brothers need to think carefully about cooperating with Qingshan City."
Zhang Feifei glanced at City Lord Shi and said something that made City Lord Shi break out in a sweat instantly.
It's not that Zhang Feifei threatened City Lord Shi, but his senior brother's family had indeed suffered great humiliation in Qingshan City. If Qingshan City was so chaotic, would this business still be able to be done in the future? City Lord Shi hurriedly explained: "Please rest assured, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation. I am about to personally go to the court to interrogate the Lin family. Please go to the City Lord's Mansion to listen. There will be an explanation."
Lord Shi wiped his sweat frantically.
Daluo Sect had already signed a medicine contract with the Daqian royal family half a month ago. In the future, Daluo Sect's medicine will be the general direction of Daqian.
If we can become a pilot city for elixirs ahead of time, it will be a great thing for City Lord Shi’s career, political achievements, and Qingshan City, and we must not miss it.
But if Daluo Sect quits at this time, he will be in big trouble. After all, the Alchemist Alliance had already fled from Qingshan City before, and put Qingshan City on the blacklist, which gave City Lord Shi a headache.
If this continues, a large number of practitioners and immortal cultivation families in Qingshan City will not be able to buy elixirs in Qingshan City, which will inevitably cause unrest and even a large number of people leaving. Qingshan City will easily become an empty city or a deserted city.
This is the worst outcome for City Lord Shi. Should he continue to be the city lord?
So Lord Shi quickly apologized, determined to appease these two ancestors.
Zhang Feifei nodded: "Then let's see what City Lord Shi does."
Afterwards, under the leadership of City Lord Shi, Jiang Ming, his third uncle's family, and Zhang Feifei went to the City Lord's Mansion to listen.
In order to express his apology, City Lord Shi specially summoned the City Lord's Mansion's divine car for a pick-up. After all, Jiang Ming's uncle and his family were all mortals. Although Qingshan City was not a particularly large city in Daqian, the area within the city was not small.
It would take a long time for a mortal to walk from here to the City Lord's Mansion.

Sitting on the divine chariot of the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Ming's uncle and his family felt like they were dreaming.
Who could have thought that an hour ago their family was still in despair, oppressed by the Lin family, with no way out, but Jiang Ming turned the tide with just one punch and actually brought down the Lin family.
Even the legendary Lord of Qingshan City came to apologize in person and used the City Lord's Mansion's magic carriage to pick them up. At this moment, they could even ride in the same carriage with the Lord of Qingshan City, and the one driving the carriage in front was even a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Jiang Ming's uncle asked Jiang Ming in the car: "Ming'er, what kind of sect is the Daluo Sect you joined? Why does the Lord of Qingshan City respect you so much?"
Jiang Ming's uncle was just curious.
Jiang Ming had only told him before that he had joined a sect called Daluo Sect, but his uncle had always thought it was just a small sect. But now it seems that this Daluo Sect is not small at all and does not seem like an ordinary force!
Jiang Ming didn't know how to explain for a moment. After all, he didn't know how to talk about the Daluo Sect.
Fortunately, Zhang Feifei next to him was more eloquent, and he spoke first at this moment: "Uncle Jiang, you don't know that my Daluo Sect is full of masters, and it has been passed down since Pangu created the world. Our ancestors once supported the sky with Pangu, but they acted low-key, so few people knew about it before.
Our master is a great man with great connections. I cannot tell you much about his background, but he is not a mortal. We brothers are lucky to be able to be his disciples. We may all be able to join the ranks of immortals in the future!"
Jiang Ming stared at his junior brother Zhang Feifei with eyes wide open.
Damn, are you so good at bragging?
The master came from the Nine Heavens. This was just a guess made by a few of his disciples when they were bored. There was no evidence, and the master had never admitted it. How dare you spread this rumor? Moreover, they were only at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage now. How dare you say that they could be among the immortals in the future? Also, although it was recorded in the Daluo Sect's internal history books that the Daluo Sect originated from Pangu's creation of the world, it was such an outrageous thing that it was not certain whether it was true or not. How could you spread this rumor?
"Junior brother, don't lie." Jiang Ming sent a message to Zhang Feifei.
Zhang Feifei glanced at Jiang Ming and said in a voice transmission: "Brother, don't take it so seriously. You give yourself an identity when you go out. Besides, I didn't say anything nonsense. Although this thing may not be true, it may not be false either."
Jiang Ming: “…”
