Feng Shao's behavior immediately aroused Xin Ruxiong's anger.
Xin Ruxiong stood up from the imperial carriage, looked at Feng Shao, and asked coldly: "What do you mean, sir?"
Feng Shao smiled and said, "Since you already know it in your heart, why should I say more?"
You want to have a falling out, right? Then let's see who can have the worst fight!
Xin Ruxiong looked at the guests present. When he cast his gaze on Lin Fengtian, he paused for a moment before continuing to look.
After a moment, Xin Ruxiong retracted his gaze and said calmly, "I have already experienced the hospitality of Wuling City. You are indeed worthy of being favored by Pavilion Master Lin. It is indeed extraordinary to see you today."
Feng Shao smiled slightly: "Your Excellency is too kind to praise me. Please take a seat!"
There seemed to be a faint spark of fire in the eyes of the two people as they looked at each other.
At this time, a middle-aged man standing next to Xin Ruxiong snorted coldly: "Holy Son, don't forget what the Holy Lord told you to do!"
Xin Ruxiong glanced at him, chuckled, and said, "Elder Hu, I will never forget what the Holy Lord has told me to do. I hope Elder Hu will be patient."
Then, Xin Ruxiong turned his head and said to Feng Shao, "Lord Feng, I came here to discuss something with you. Please answer truthfully!"
Feng Shao raised his eyebrows.
Feng Shao heard something unusual in Xin Ruxiong's words and tone. He suddenly realized that what the other party really wanted to do might not be a provocation.
Sure enough, Feng Shao heard Xin Ruxiong say, "The former Saint of Jiuyou Holy Land, Chi Xuan, died at the hands of a traitor. It was only because of City Lord Feng's protection that the former Saint was never able to avenge his death. I wonder if City Lord Feng can hand over the person who killed Saint Chi?"
Zuo Linglan and the others all felt nervous when they heard this.
Feng Shao heard this and slowly sat down, smiling and said, "So you didn't come here to attend the ceremony, but to hunt down the murderer! But I'm sorry, Xin Shengzi will return empty-handed this time!"
Before Xin Ruxiong could speak, Elder Hu shouted angrily, "Youngster, do you think that you can protect Zuo Linglan and others with your ability?"
Feng Shao tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said calmly, "Chi Xuan's evil deeds are notorious, and he has committed many crimes. Everyone has the right to kill him. Miss Zuo and others sacrificed their relatives for the sake of justice, which is really admirable. You want me to hand over such a respectable person? I wonder where you get the nerve to do that?"
Elder Hu was furious and shouted, "Feng Shao, you are protecting the murderer who killed my Nine Nether Saint. Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster upon yourself? Zuo Linglan and the others, you must hand them over today, whether you want to or not!"
Feng Shao laughed and ignored Elder Hu. Instead, he said to Xin Ruxiong meaningfully, "It seems that you didn't come here with good intentions!"
Xin Ruxiong smiled and said, "Brother Feng, you worry too much. If City Lord Feng can hand over the murderer of Chi Shengzi, then we come here with good intentions."
"So what if I don't hand it in?"
Xin Ruxiong sighed and said helplessly: "Brother Feng is also a smart man. Why should he affect the friendship between Wuling City and Jiuyou Holy Land for irrelevant people?"
"Irrelevant?" Feng Shao shook his head and said, "Your Excellency may have made a mistake. Miss Zuo is now a resident of Wuling City, how can you say she is irrelevant? As for the relationship between us and Jiuyou Holy Land? May I ask, do we have any relationship?"
Xin Ruxiong seemed to be indifferent and said, "So, Brother Feng is determined to do it on his own?"
Feng Shao sighed, "The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Jiuyou Holy Land is so aggressive, aren't they afraid of arousing resentment from the people of the world?"
The two of them talked back and forth, and although their tone was calm, anyone could tell that the talks had collapsed in a matter of seconds. Many of the guests had already prepared to leave, fearing that they would be caught in the crossfire.
Elder Hu said impatiently, "Xin Shengzi, Feng Shao is in cahoots with Zuo Linglan and the others, so why should we say anything to him? Even if he has the support of Yunjian Pavilion, what does it matter? Is Jiuyou Holy Land afraid of him?"
Xin Ruxiong glanced at Elder Hu, and a murderous look flashed across his eyes.
He suddenly smiled and said to Elder Hu: "Elder Hu, why don't you tell City Lord Feng what the Holy Lord said before you came here?"
Elder Hu looked at Feng Shao with a proud face: "Before we came here, the Holy Lord had already explained it. If Feng Shao is sensible and hands over Zuo Linglan and others, then my Nine Nether Holy Land will let him go. But if he insists on protecting Zuo Linglan and others, then my Nine Nether Holy Land will kill his entire family without a single drop of blood!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
The Nine Nether Holy Land has always acted in a domineering manner, and many people present have heard of it. However, the Nine Nether Holy Land is located in a remote area after all, and rarely interacts with other sects and forces, so for most people, rumors are always just rumors. Now, the words of Elder Hu have made them truly understand how domineering the Nine Nether Holy Land is.
Feng Shao's father-in-law, the head of Yunjian Pavilion, Lin Fengtian, is sitting here. How dare Elder Hu say such words? Isn't he afraid of attracting a powerful enemy, Yunjian Pavilion, to the Jiuyou Holy Land?
Sure enough, everyone heard Lin Fengtian suddenly laugh "Haha" and said: "I have heard for a long time that the people of Jiuyou Holy Land are good at taking advantage of others. Now I see that their reputation is well-deserved!"
Elder Hu was furious and asked coldly, "May I ask who you are?"
Lin Fengtian looked at Elder Hu with interest and said with a smile: "You came here aggressively, but you don't even know who I am? It seems that Tao Yan is really old and confused!"
"You!" Elder Hu said angrily, "You are making irresponsible remarks about the Holy Lord. Aren't you afraid of attracting the thunderous wrath of my Nine Nether Holy Land?"
Before Lin Fengtian could speak, Xiao Ruoyao said coldly: "Oh, I really want to see how capable Tao Yan is!"
Before he finished speaking, a blue sword light flashed by. Before anyone could react, they heard Elder Hu screaming, and one of his arms was lifted into the air.
Lin Fengtian smiled and said, "My lady's swordsmanship is getting more and more powerful!"
Xiao Ruoyao sheathed her sword and rolled her eyes at him: "You're such a snob!"
Elder Hu turned pale with pain. He pointed at Xiao Ruoyao with his other hand and gritted his teeth, "Who are you? How dare you attack me?"
Xiao Ruoyao sneered: "The remote area of Jiuyou Mountain is indeed full of ignorant people! When you go back, tell your Saint Master that it was the Master of Xiaoyao Hall who did it!"
"You...you are that Xiao Ruoyao?" Elder Hu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Xiao Ruoyao's name is also well-known in Dongzhou. Elder Hu had only heard of her before, but had never seen her. He did not expect that this famous Xiaoyao Sword Fairy was actually a young-looking girl!
Elder Hu's expression suddenly turned cold: "It seems that Yunjian Pavilion is determined to be the enemy of my Jiuyou Holy Land?"
He turned his gaze towards Lin Fengtian, waiting for his answer. He had already guessed that the person sitting next to Xiao Ruoyao was the head of Yunjian Pavilion.
Lin Fengtian supported his chin with his hand, smiled faintly, and said: "What my wife said naturally represents my opinion. If Jiuyou Holy Land insists on starting a war, then my Yunjian Pavilion can only accept the challenge!"
Elder Hu nodded grimly, "Very good! If that's the case, don't blame me, the Nine Nether Holy Land, for being rude!"
After saying that, Elder Hu took out a piece of jade and crushed it hard!
At the moment when the jade was crushed, thick dark clouds suddenly gathered over Wuling City, and at the same time a voice resounded through the sky: "Hu Xianzhi, what is the attitude of Yunjian Pavilion?"
Elder Hu shouted, "The Yunjian Pavilion has decided to become the enemy of our Jiuyou Holy Land! Your subordinates are incompetent and have failed to complete the task assigned by the Holy Lord!"
Everyone's faces changed when they heard this. According to Elder Hu, could the person who spoke be Tao Yan, the Saint Lord of the Nine Netherworlds?
Sure enough, the voice said coldly: "Is that so? Lin Fengtian, you are just a rising star, how dare you challenge my Jiuyou Holy Land?"
Lin Fengtian stood up and said calmly: "Tao Yan, why did you come here instead of waiting to die in Jiuyou Mountain? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to go back after you come here?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Tao Yan suddenly burst into laughter: "Lin Fengtian, Lin Fengtian, do you really think that with the foundation of your Yunjian Pavilion, you can compete with my Jiuyou Holy Land? Today I will let you see the true foundation of the Holy Land!"
At this point, Tao Yan shouted, "Where is General Jiuyou?"
There was an overwhelming response: "Subordinates are here!"
"Come with me and attack Wuling City, leaving no one alive!"
"yes!"
The guests all changed color when they heard this. This Jiuyou General is the most powerful elder of Jiuyou Holy Land. There are seven of them in total, all of them are in the Tribulation Realm. Including Tao Yan himself, there are eight Tribulation Realm masters. Yunjian Pavilion is indeed powerful, but it only has three people in the Tribulation Realm. With three against eight, Yunjian Pavilion is afraid that it will also suffer a devastating disaster today!
At that moment, a guest shouted in panic: "Saint Lord Tao, I am only here to attend the celebration, I am not from Yunjian Pavilion! Saint Lord Tao, please show mercy!"
Tao Yan sneered and said, "You guys came all the way here to participate in a mere city-building ceremony, isn't it just to please Yunjian Pavilion? Since you have already chosen Yunjian Pavilion, then my Jiuyou Holy Land will naturally not let you stay!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone felt a powerful spiritual force sweeping in like a raging wave. Everyone suddenly felt as if they were carrying a huge mountain on their backs, pressing them so hard that they couldn't even breathe.
Lin Fengtian, however, looked calm. He looked at Feng Shao and said with a smile, "Ah Shao, facing this situation, are you afraid?"
Feng Shao shook his head and said, "Evil cannot defeat good, so why should we be afraid?"
Lin Fengtian laughed and said, "You are worthy of being my son-in-law, Lin Fengtian. You are really brave! You protect Ran'er, and leave the rest to us!"
Leng Lingyue stood up and said, "Yaoyao and I will deal with the so-called Nine Nether General, and you go and deal with old man Tao Yan!"
After saying that, Leng Lingyue’s figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Xiao Ruoyao patted Lin Xiaoran, who had a worried look on his face, and said with a smile: "Ran'er, you have to watch carefully from now on to see how mother uses the Free and Easy Thirty-Six Sword Techniques."
Lin Xiaoran grabbed Xiao Ruoyao's arm and said in a trembling voice: "Mother, please be fine!"
"Don't worry!" Xiao Ruoyao turned her head and looked at Lin Fengtian again, "Protect Ran'er!"
Feng Shao nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, mother-in-law!"
Xiao Ruoyao nodded, then turned into a stream of light and flew into the sky.
The other people in Yunjian Pavilion also drew their weapons and prepared for battle.
Feng Shao took out a brown crystal from his storage ring and whispered, "I didn't expect that this city defense formation would come in handy so soon!"
