Qin Feng glanced at the human woman and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I made it myself!"
The human woman didn't suspect anything and smiled. "Very nice clothes!"
After saying that, the human woman fell silent, only curiously observing Qin Feng.
How could a mere early-stage Ancient Emperor Realm cultivator be able to kill five Ancestral Emperor Realm cultivators and eight Ancient Emperor Realm cultivators in such a short time!
Could it be that this little guy is hiding his true cultivation level?
His true realm is the Primordial Saint Emperor?
In her view, only the Primordial Saint Emperor could have killed five Ancestral Emperors and eight Ancient Emperors in such a short time.
Seeing that the human woman had stopped speaking, the others exchanged glances.
Then, a middle-aged man from the City Lord's Mansion looked at the human women from the Lingfeng Merchant Guild and asked, "Fellow Daoists, could you please tell me what exactly happened?"
These people from the City Lord's Mansion only knew that Qin Feng had caused trouble at the Lingfeng Chamber of Commerce, but they didn't know the specifics.
They only followed after seeing that the Lingfeng Chamber of Commerce had dispatched six Hongmeng Saint Emperors.
The human woman glanced at Qin Feng, and then, without any concealment, truthfully recounted what Qin Feng had done at the Lingfeng Chamber of Commerce.
When the five people from the city lord's mansion learned the reason, they all looked at Qin Feng in astonishment.
"No way? He's just a mere early-stage Ancient Emperor, how could he have such strength?"
"Could it be that he has concealed his true level of cultivation?"
"It doesn't seem like he's concealing his cultivation level. Maybe this little guy has some powerful secret technique?"
"The success was achieved by launching a surprise attack when the enemy was not looking!"
The six human women all nodded in unison.
They also suspected that Qin Feng succeeded by taking the attack by surprise.
Otherwise, Qin Feng would definitely be the Primordial Saint Emperor!
The middle-aged man stared at Qin Feng for a while, then looked at the human woman and said, "Fellow Daoist Feng Li, this is a matter for your merchant guild, so we will not interfere!"
Feng Li nodded slightly, then looked at Qin Feng and asked, "Little guy, why did you kill those people?"
Just as Qin Feng was about to speak, the green-robed old man next to Feng Li spoke first.
"Elder Feng Li, why waste your breath on him?"
"Anyone who causes trouble and kills at the Lingfeng Chamber of Commerce, regardless of the reason, must die!"
The old man in green robes was adamant and exuded a murderous aura.
This person is also an elder of the Lingfeng Chamber of Commerce's Southern Lingzhou headquarters. He is a demon and has always disliked humans.
Naturally, he didn't like Feng Li, who was a human, very much either!
However, Feng Li is stronger than him and has a higher status in the Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, he would not easily provoke Feng Li under normal circumstances.
But this time, it's different.
Qin Feng killed so many people from the Lingfeng Chamber of Commerce. If Feng Li dared to protect Qin Feng, he would have a legitimate excuse to join forces with the other four to suppress Feng Li.
Feng Li glanced at the old man in green robes, a half-smile playing on her lips. "I know what you're thinking, but aren't you being a little too hasty?"
The old man in green robes looked somewhat uneasy. "What did you say? I don't understand what you mean!"
"Is it fun to play dumb?" Feng Li chuckled. "Fine, play dumb if you want!"
"But this matter must be thoroughly investigated before we can decide how to punish this little guy."
"Don't forget, he's a human!"
"If we kill him without distinguishing right from wrong, it might be considered as provoking the human race."
"If those three humans investigate, will you take responsibility?"
"Should the branch president take on this?"
"Don't forget, the Spirit Wind Merchant Guild is a neutral force and is not allowed to participate in conflicts between any races!"
"If you kill innocent people without cause, especially humans, you should consider the consequences yourself!"
The old man in green robes looked extremely grim; he hadn't expected Feng Li to actually protect Qin Feng.
However, he couldn't refute what Feng Li said.
If a human is killed without distinguishing right from wrong, and a reasonable explanation cannot be given later, the human side will likely have a hard time explaining themselves.
After all, this matter has become common knowledge, and it's impossible to cover it up.
At this moment, there were quite a few humans in the city watching!
If Qin Feng is truly wicked, then it's fine, but if he isn't, then things could get really out of hand.
The green-robed elder took a deep breath, suppressing his anger as he looked at Qin Feng and questioned, "Why did you kill members of our merchant guild?"
Faced with the green-robed elder's questioning, Qin Feng was very displeased, but he still truthfully recounted the cause and course of events.
After listening to Qin Feng's account, the old man in green robes sneered, "Nonsense!"
"How could we, the Lingfeng Chamber of Commerce, possibly ask you for extra fees?"
"In my opinion, you were the one who started this trouble and ambushed and killed them!"
Qin Feng pursed his lips. "What I said is true, and there's nothing I can do if you don't believe me!"
The old man in green robes' face darkened. "What kind of attitude is this? Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
Qin Feng sneered. "This is my attitude. Try killing me if you dare!"
"You're courting death!" The green-robed elder was enraged by Qin Feng, and a terrifying killing intent erupted from his body.
At this moment, Feng Li spoke indifferently, "Bo Yan, have you really thought this through? Are you sure you want to take action?"
Hearing Feng Li's words, Bo Yan sneered. "This brat is so arrogant, what's wrong with me killing him?"
Feng Li sneered. "How is he arrogant?"
"All I see is you using your power to bully others!"
Bo Yan was furious. "Feng Li, you need to provide evidence for your words. When have I ever used my power to bully anyone?"
"You know best whether you've done it or not!" Feng Li glanced at Bo Yan, then looked at Qin Feng and said, "Little guy, don't be so hot-tempered!"
"After all, your words alone cannot be taken as evidence!"
"So, it's understandable that guy would make malicious assumptions!"
Qin Feng glanced at Feng Li and said helplessly, "The person is dead. Where am I supposed to find evidence for you?"
Just as Feng Li was about to speak, Bo Yan suddenly interjected, "It's simple. Just let me search your soul, and I'll know the truth!"
"If what you say is true, not only will we let you leave, but we will also compensate you!"
Bo Yan looked at Qin Feng with ill intent. If Qin Feng dared to agree to let him search his soul, he would take the opportunity to destroy Qin Feng's soul and turn him into an idiot.
At that point, whether Qin Feng lives or dies will be irrelevant!
Feng Li frowned slightly. She actually wanted to ask Qin Feng to search his soul, but Boyan beat her to it.
She knew exactly what Boyan's purpose was, but under these circumstances, she couldn't say anything.
After all, the matter of soul searching inherently carries great risks.
One could easily damage the soul of the person being searched.
Even she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't harm the soul of the person being searched.
Therefore, if she were to raise a question on this point, Boyan could not only easily refute her, but might even take the opportunity to accuse her of not caring about the Lingfeng Chamber of Commerce.
