Immortal and Martial Supreme Master - Chapter 48
Chapter 48 the Leiling City Lord
the Leiling City ‘s City Lord: Qin Batian?
Qin Yun looked at the purple-clothed middle-aged man in surprise. Although the middle-aged man had a smile on his face, the aura on his body gave Qin Yun a domineering and dignified feeling.
Qin Yun knew that this was the result of fusing his thunder perception with his own aura, and his every move contained thunder intent.
A ninth level Heavenly Martial Sect that could reach this level of comprehension was a terrifying existence. Without using sword intent, even if Qin Yun and Xiao Bai worked together, they would not be a match for each other.
Shi Tianya did not seem to have expected Qin Batian to appear. Seeing that his attack was blocked, his expression became extremely gloomy. He looked at Qin Batian with an unhappy expression and said, “Qin Batian, what do you mean?”
“Nephew Shi, private battles are forbidden in Lightning Spirit City. You’re breaking the rules.” Qin Batian said with a smile on his face.
Shi Tianya’s face was unhappy, but Qin Batian had already spoken, so he naturally wouldn’t be able to make another move. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given Qin Batian any face.
Even if Qin Batian had always been courteous to their Tian Yuan Chamber of Commerce, However, if he really turned against Qin Batian, it would be a situation where both sides would be injured. Moreover, Qin Batian’s cultivation was unfathomable, and there was practically no opponent in the entire the Leiling City . Even his father was afraid of Qin Batian in this respect. Therefore, it was almost impossible for him to make a move in the Leiling City .
“Little brat, wait for me. As long as you dare to leave the Leiling City , I will make you lose your head.” Shi Tianya glared fiercely at Qin Yun before riding on his Dragon Scaled Horse Juechen.
Qin Yun looked at Shi Tianya who was far away, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
It was not his style to let the tiger return to the mountain. Originally, he had planned to take off his inner armor, use all his strength to kill Shi Tianya, and then leave the Leiling City. However, Qin Batian’s appearance dispelled his thoughts.
Now that Shi Tianya had left, he would definitely be constantly thinking about it. At that time, he would not only be facing Shi Tianya, a seventh level Heavenly Martial Master, but also the entire branch of the Heavenly Origin Merchant Guild.
However, although letting Shi Tianya leave would cause Qin Yun a headache, the most important thing right now was to figure out why Qin Batian, the Leiling City Lord, would suddenly help him.
Before this, he had never seen Qin Batian before. He did not think that Qin Batian was merely protecting the rules of the Leiling City .
“You’re wondering why I helped you?” Qin Batian turned his head to look at Qin Yun, who had a puzzled expression, and asked with a smile.
Qin Yun’s expression was cold and he did not answer.
Qin Batian smiled. He continued, “Actually, the moment you stepped into the Leiling City this morning, I noticed you. After that, I saw you wandering around the entire the Leiling City . I wanted to know what you wanted to do, but in the end, you didn’t do anything. It surprised me that you chose to leave the Leiling City . That’s why I came to see you clash with Shi Tianya.”
When Qin Yun heard Qin Batian’s words, not only did he not dispel the doubts in his heart, he furrowed his brows even deeper.
Logically speaking, in a bustling city like the Leiling City, there would definitely be a lot of martial artists entering and leaving every day. It should be normal for ordinary cultivators like him to enter the Leiling City. How could he attract the attention of a City Lord? Furthermore, he had been staring at him for a whole day according to Qin Batian’s words.
It was not a good thing to be secretly stared at by a stranger for an entire day for no reason.
“You must be wondering why I noticed you, right? Actually, I sensed a pure aura of thunder from you. This aura is overbearing and strange. That’s why I’m paying attention to you.” Qin Batian laughed again.
Qin Yun was slightly stunned. There was a pure aura of thunder on his body?
Something’s wrong. What he comprehended was wind attribute comprehension. How could there be a pure thunder aura? His thunder attribute comprehension was only just beginning, and he couldn’t even reach the first rank of the Concept. How could there be a thunder aura that attracted Qin Batian?
“It was the thunderous aura emitted by the little snake in your body that attracted him.”
Just as Qin Yun was puzzled, he finally heard his Gu Dao Master ‘s voice transmission.
Ever since Qin Yun became an Ancient Dao Master, although Qin Yun still tied the Frost Abyss Sword around his waist like before, the feeling was different now. When he thought of his own master living inside, Qin Yun had an indescribable strange feeling.
Moreover, Gu Dao had a special hobby, which was sleeping. He spent most of the day sleeping, only occasionally coming out to give Qin Yun some pointers.
He had probably just woken up from his sleep and heard Qin Batian’s words, so he reminded him.
Qin Yun suddenly realized that this made sense.
Xiao Bai was the descendant of the ancient beast, the Violet Gold White Python. He possessed the bloodline of the ancient divine beast, the Heaven Swallowing Python. It could be said that it was the darling of lightning.
Now that it had reached the level of a Third Grade Desolate Beast, although it had been injured by the woman in red last time, after this period of treatment, not only had its injuries healed, but its cultivation had also increased by a lot. Now, it was equivalent to the strength of a Sixth Grade Heavenly Martial Sect.
‘”To be able to emit such a pure aura of thunder, I’m sure you must have great comprehension of thunder. However, I can’t figure it out. You look like you’re only sixteen or seventeen years old. Even if you start cultivating in your mother’s womb, it’s only sixteen years. How can you have such a deep comprehension?” Qin Batian revealed a puzzled expression.
Qin Yun smiled helplessly. He knew that Qin Batian had misunderstood. He grafted the aura from Little White’s hair onto him and explained, “Senior Qin misunderstood. Actually, I don’t have any attainments in lightning comprehension. On the contrary, I don’t know anything about lightning comprehension. The lightning aura you feel isn’t mine.”
“Oh?” Qin Batian asked in surprise. However, he did not pursue the matter again, because he knew that Qin Yun’s secret was probably involved. Even if he did, Qin Yun would not answer.
“However, this junior thanks senior for saving us today.” Qin Yun cupped his hands towards Qin Batian.
Qin Batian smiled and waved his hand. “It’s a small matter. Although our the Leiling City and the Tian Yuan Chamber of Commerce seem to get along relatively well on the surface, there have always been fights in the interior. Shi Tianya, this brat, is arrogant when he sees me. I have long been displeased. Today, I knitted his brows and ruined his affairs. It would be a good thing for me.”
Qin Yun nodded slightly. Only then did he reveal a true smile. He could feel that Qin Batian’s words were true.
If Qin Batian said something righteous, then Qin Yun would definitely think that Qin Batian had other plans.
In this way, Qin Yun felt that the middle-aged man in front of him was very cute. He was decisive and straightforward, but he didn’t lose his shrewdness. It could be said that he was the only person Qin Yun had seen in the mortal world that he admired from the bottom of his heart.
“May I know your name?” Qin Batian said with a smile.
“I am Qin Yun.” Qin Yun replied.
“Yo, it’s still my family. Looks like you and I are really fated!” Qin Batian laughed.
Qin Yun smiled awkwardly. Although he admired Qin Batian’s personality, he knew people and faces but not his heart. He wasn’t sure if Qin Batian’s performance in front of him was fake.
‘”Little Brother Qin must not have the money to stay at the city gate at this late hour. Why don’t we go to my City Lord’s Mansion for a night? This way, we can prevent that brat Shi Tianya from coming looking for trouble with you again.” Qin Batian smiled and patted Qin Yun on the shoulder, as if he was determined to call Qin Yun his brother.
“Alright, then I’ll disturb Senior Qin.”
Qin Yun thought for a moment before decisively agreeing.
Now that he was out of the city, there would be a lot of trouble. Shi Tianya would definitely send someone to keep an eye on him. Although he wasn’t afraid, it would be even harder for him to sneak into the Leiling Sect.
Following that, Qin Yun followed Qin Batian towards the City Lord’s Mansion under the astonished gazes of the surrounding people.
Along the way, Qin Batian had been telling Qin Yun about the general distribution of the Leiling City , which gave Qin Yun a deeper understanding of the Leiling City .
After walking for about an incense stick of time, Qin Yun followed Qin Batian to the City Lord’s Mansion.
However, when they saw the City Lord’s Mansion, Qin Yun was shocked. He really didn’t expect that the City Lord’s Mansion in the Leiling City would be so dilapidated that even some ordinary wealthy merchant mansions were inferior to it.
As soon as they stepped into the gate of the mansion, there were only three small courtyards. The path connecting them was a path paved with green stones. There were wild flowers and grass all around them, and there was no precious vegetation.
The courtyard looked quite old. The green bricks and tiles were covered with a thick layer of green moss. The only thing that made people feel somewhat elegant was that at the end of the path, there was a half-acre large pond with a few koi inside.
He really couldn’t understand why the residence of the City Lord was so simple. In his image, the City Lord’s Mansion should be extremely luxurious. How could it be so simple and crude? If Qin Batian hadn’t personally led the way, he would have thought that he had gone to the wrong place.
However, although the City Lord’s Mansion was very simple and crude, it was cleanly cleaned up, which made Qin Yun feel much better in his heart.
“What? Are you shocked to see my mansion?” Qin Batian laughed.
Qin Yun nodded awkwardly.
