"Senior Wu Qi, I am..." Before the Tianyi Sect Master could even properly introduce himself, he was interrupted by Wu Qi raising his hand.
"I don't care what you are or how you entered the demon realm. In my city, you must abide by my rules. If you dare to deliberately cause trouble, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Wu Qi has always been carefree and unrestrained, and rarely uses his power to oppress others; this is the first time he has done so.
The Sect Master of Tianyi was about to say something to flatter Wu Qi, but the words caught in his throat. He looked at Wu Qi, who was sitting on the carriage, with an extremely ugly expression.
He had already identified Wu Qi as one of the beings who had used his power to suppress him when he tried to force his way into Mad Lion City.
The Tianyi Sect Master instantly lost the urge to forcibly attack Xiao Feng.
Wu Qi didn't bother with the Tianyi Sect Master. After saying these words, he left with the many powerful demons behind him.
Everyone's eyes flickered as they looked at the Tianyi Sect Master and the other disciples and elders of the Tianyi Sect who followed him in.
Based on their status and realm, they would normally be respected even if they entered Mad Lion City.
After all, they are the strong ones.
But just now, in front of so many demons, the patriarch didn't give the Tianyi Sect Master any face and even warned him. It's clear that this guy offended their patriarch and city lord.
They wouldn't give a kind look to someone whom even their ancestors disliked.
Every single demon in the surrounding area chose to ignore the group led by the Tianyi Sect Master.
The Sect Master of Tianyi was so angry that he trembled with fear.
He naturally wanted to track down Xiao Feng, so they captured him directly.
With Wu Qi protecting Xiao Feng, if he dared to get close to Xiao Feng, Wu Qi could slap him to death.
Having finally entered Mad Lion City, the Heavenly Sect Master was unwilling to leave just like that.
Finally, the Sect Master of Tianyi remembered a friend he had met a few times before.
"Hopefully, we can find him here."
Because even the Sect Master of Tianyi was unsure whether this friend had gone with Wu Qi and the others to the location of the Demon Emperor's treasure.
The other disciples and elders who came in with Sect Master Tianyi saw that their sect master's face was grim, so they didn't dare to ask any questions.
The Sect Master of Tianyi Sect took out a map of Mad Lion City that he had prepared in advance and clicked on a marker on it.
"We'll go to the weapon-refining workshop first."
His friend was the owner of the weapon-refining workshop, with whom he had dealt with several times before; his name was Zhou Ming.
As for how to capture Xiao Feng, that's something we'll have to discuss later.
Even if the Sect Master of Tianyi Sect really wanted to capture Xiao Feng, he couldn't possibly think he could go against the renowned Wu Qi.
When they finally arrived at the weapon-refining workshop...
Zhou Ming had already received the news and knew that Wu Qi disliked them and had publicly humiliated them.
When Zhou Ming heard his subordinates in the weapon-refining workshop report that a middle-aged man claiming to be the sect leader of Tianyi Sect was coming to visit him, he nearly crushed the cup in his hand.
He did indeed have several dealings with the Tianyi Sect Master.
But now this is Wu Qi's territory, and he, a human who has already been rejected by Wu Qi, is actually swaggering over to find me.
He's just a useless piece of trash who only causes trouble for himself.
Seeing that his master's expression wasn't particularly pleasant, the subordinate volunteered, "Why don't I go and get rid of them?"
Zhou Ming let out a long breath, but still shook his head: "After all, they are the sect leader of the dignified Tianyi Sect. We can't embarrass them too much. We should treat them as ordinary VIPs and take them directly to the backyard."
In order to ensure that the weapon-refining workshop could continue its business in Mad Lion City in the future, Zhou Ming did not want too much of this matter to be known.
The Sect Master of Tianyi Sect was also somewhat uneasy.
Along the way, he underestimated how much influence Wu Qi had on the entire city.
What happened to them at the city gate had already spread far and wide.
The entire city, even the merchants and business owners who were also human, treated him with disdain.
The Sect Master of Tianyi was worried. After all, he had only dealt with Zhou Ming a few times, and there was no deep friendship between them. What if Zhou Ming was unwilling to receive him?
He tried to find an inn in Lion City to stay temporarily.
However, after asking several inns, none of the owners were willing to agree.
One innkeeper even bluntly stated that the fact that he was disliked by the city lord of Mad Lion City proved that he must be a bad person.
They don't serve bad people.
This infuriated the Sect Master of Tianyi.
"Sect Master, they won't refuse to see us, will they?" an elder asked cautiously.
"If he doesn't want to see us, then so be it! We can just find another place to stay! I refuse to believe I can't catch that bastard Xiao Feng!"
The Sect Master of Tianyi Sect forced himself to speak.
Fortunately, the subordinates who received Zhou Ming's orders treated Sect Master Tianyi and his group with relative politeness, still regarding them as honored guests of the weapon-refining workshop.
They led the Tianyi Sect Master and his entourage directly into the backyard.
Zhou Ming personally came out to meet him, and during their conversation, he also revealed his disgust for Xiao Feng.
After dismissing the elders and disciples who had come with him to rest, the Sect Master of Tianyi Sect followed Zhou Ming directly into the secret chamber.
Upon entering, perhaps because Zhou Ming was the only one there, the Tianyi Sect Master's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
"What's wrong with you? The dignified Sect Master of Tianyi Sect has actually chased an ordinary person all the way to the Demon Realm. What did he do?" Zhou Ming asked casually.
The Sect Master of Tianyi Sect roared angrily, "He kidnapped my son! He even... crippled my son! Jian'er is my heir! Xiao Feng deserves to die! He must avenge my son!"
Hearing what the Sect Master of Tianyi said, Zhou Ming's smile became even more indifferent, but he didn't ask any further questions.
A second before the Tianyi Sect Master looked at him, Zhou Ming had already disguised his expression.
He had dealt with the Tianyi Sect Master before, so he naturally knew that the Tianyi Sect Master doted on his son, Xuanyuan Jian.
Although Xuanyuan Jian's talent was not great, he was also foolish, arrogant, and domineering.
But the Sect Master of Tianyi just couldn't resist it.
Based on his understanding of the Tianyi Sect Master, if he simply wanted revenge, he could have gone this far.
Whether others believe Zhou Ming or not is unknown, but Zhou Ming certainly wouldn't believe it.
But so what?
Zhou Ming knew that he and the Tianyi Sect Master hadn't reached the point where they could be completely open with each other, so he didn't ask any questions.
"There are rules to follow in Mad Lion City. The Ancestor has a temper, so you should restrain yourself a bit during this time, lest you annoy him even more."
Upon hearing Zhou Ming's words, the Sect Master of Tianyi touched his nose in frustration.
“Of course I know. I came to see you because I had nowhere to rest here, and I also wanted to see how you have been doing all these years.”
Faced with the Tianyi Sect Master's apparent concern, Zhou Ming simply shook his head, and then the topic suddenly shifted to the Demon Emperor's Secret Treasure.
