The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 250
Chapter 250 An Impolite Request
Clearly, these Xiantian bandits had deliberately diverted disaster to Baifu City, telling Su Jingxiang that she was extremely beautiful and had led her to Jiangyuan City to cause trouble.
City Lord Baifu had already died in the center of the ruins, so it was impossible to arrange such a thing. Then it would be easy to guess that the mastermind of this matter should be the young lord of Baifu City. This person had his dantian destroyed by Jiang Chengyuan, and his cultivation had been crippled. He had always harbored hatred in his heart, so it was not surprising that he had done such a thing.
Since the people of Baifu City were courting death and had decided on Su Jingxiang, Li Qing naturally would not let it go. He was extremely angry in his heart and planned to settle the score with them after this matter.
In fact, there was no need for Baifu City to exist. After all, even City Lord Baifu was already dead. Without this pillar of strength, he would no longer be able to support him.
As long as this news was spread out, this power would easily collapse and turn into a pile of scattered sand. At that time, Jiangyuan City would be able to fight it out.
…
After dealing with these Xiantian bandits, this crisis was finally over. Everyone cheered enthusiastically, and Li Qing’s prestige was raised again.
It was said that it was better to be famous than to meet. Others had heard more about Li Qing’s deeds, but they had never seen him with their own eyes. They couldn’t help but suspect in their hearts whether he was really that powerful. However, something like this had happened in public. Li Qing had casually killed three Xiantian experts. There was even a Xiantian 4-dan True Essence Consolidating Existence among them. The display of such a powerful strength immediately shocked everyone present.
Li Qing turned his head and looked at Su Jingxiang, smiling faintly.
At this moment, Su Jingxiang was still standing there in a daze. Her face was extremely pale from fear, as if she hadn’t woken up yet. There was still a broken hand on her neck.
Seeing Li Qing appear in front of her and kill those bad guys, she finally couldn’t help but tear up in her eyes. Then, she threw herself into his embrace, completely ignoring everyone’s gaze.
“Alright, it’s fine. With me here, I will always protect you.” Li Qing patted her shoulder gently and comforted her.
In fact, Su Jingxiang had always been very calm during the entire process, refusing to reveal a panicked expression. Even when she was about to be taken away by the robbers, she still did not say a word. The psychological quality she displayed was indeed very good.
Only now did she reveal her weak side. Obviously, she was extremely frightened. Her calm expression just now was just an illusion that she was trying her best to maintain.
City Lord Su walked up with a relaxed expression. He took a long breath and said, “You’re finally done with seclusion. With you here, everything can be settled. Otherwise, I really can’t handle this kind of situation.”
When he said the end of seclusion, of course, he meant that Li Qing had returned from his trip. This was to prevent everyone from knowing that Li Qing had gone out before.
Li Qing understood. He smiled and said, “That’s right, I’m out of seclusion. I didn’t expect so many things to happen in such a short period of time. With me here, no one dares to make trouble again.”
“Eh, your cultivation … How did you improve so quickly!” City Lord Su cried out, almost glaring his eyes out. He remembered that when Li Qing left, he was only at the Second Xiantian Stage. How many days had passed since then? He had actually reached the Middle Xiantian Stage. The speed of his cultivation was simply shocking.
Speaking of which, ever since Li Qing arrived here, his cultivation speed had always been so fast. Almost the same day, he was simply a freak. City Lord Su still remembered that the first time he saw Li Qing, there was not the slightest bit of True Qi in his body. Compared to his current Xiantian 3rd layer cultivation, there was a difference between heaven and earth.
Li Qing smiled and said, “I’ve gained a lot during my seclusion. It can be considered good luck that my cultivation has improved so quickly.”
City Lord Su grabbed Li Qing’s arm and said, “Let’s go, don’t stand outside. Let’s go inside and talk. Everyone, disperse.”
Li Qing waved his hand and said, “I’m afraid not. Another guest has come.”
“Oh? Who is it?” City Lord Su raised his head and looked outside.
The crowd split up. Cao Longfei and Hong Pengshan were aggressive as they brought a group of people in.
“Who are you? What are you here for?” City Lord Su’s expression darkened. He thought that he was here to cause trouble again.
In fact, these people were indeed here to stir up trouble. Furthermore, it wasn’t just that simple, they even wanted to seize control of Jiangyuan City.
Old God Cao Longfei looked at City Lord Su on the ground and said proudly, “Are you the City Lord of Jiangyuan City?”
“That’s right.”
“We want this Jiang Yuan City.” Cao Longfei’s tone was very loud, and he directly stated his intention.
Everyone was in an uproar!
“Bastard! Where did this lunatic come from! He asked for a city!” They all suspected that they had heard wrongly that someone had made such an unreasonable request.
Judging from the looks of this group of people, their cultivation was already unfathomable at such a young age, and they did not seem to be crazy.
“Those who come are not kind!” A worried expression appeared on someone’s face.
City Lord Su did not get angry easily. Instead, he carefully sized up the two of them for a while. They had already reached the third level of the Xiantian realm at a young age. They wore luxurious clothes and possessed extraordinary auras. They looked like people of extraordinary origins. They should be disciples sent by a certain sect.
Ever since the remnants of the Misty Forest appeared, all sorts of ghosts and gods had appeared. It was normal to see a few disciples of great sects.
However, even if they were disciples of a large sect, it would be ridiculous for them to ask for the city empty-handed. Do you really think that this city lord is made of mud?
Seeing everyone’s expressions, Cao Longfei coldly snorted, “Let me introduce myself first. My name is Cao Longfei! I’m from the Flying Frost Sect!”
“Flying Frost Sect!” City Lord Su’s gaze narrowed as he said, “So it’s actually a disciple of a large sect from the Azure Province. I’m disrespectful. But so what? Do you think you can do whatever you want with this identity?”
After introducing himself, Cao Longfei raised his head high. Originally, he thought he could hear countless praises, but in the end, he was very disappointed. These people didn’t seem to recognize him.
“Old man, you must hear me clearly. My name is Cao Longfei! Cao Longfei! Haven’t you heard of this name?”
“Is Cao Longfei very famous? I’ve never heard of him.” Someone shouted.
Hearing this, Cao Longfei almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Who are these people? Haven’t you heard of his name? Sure enough, it was a remote place, and the news was backward!
“Cao Longfei?” It wasn’t that City Lord Su didn’t really know him, but he didn’t react for a moment. He recalled it carefully and quickly remembered, “The Cao Longfei who was ranked ninety-fifth on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings?”
“Exactly!” Cao Longfei felt very unhappy. These fellows had only recognized him for so long, and there was actually no praise. It was like a punch in the air.
Everyone was shocked when they heard City Lord Su reveal his origin. They didn’t expect that this fellow was actually a young hero on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings.
“It seems that there is a genius called Cao Longfei! I didn’t expect that such a genius would actually come to Jiangyuan City!”
“This matter is troublesome …”
Everyone was discussing.
City Lord Su said, “Even if you are Cao Longfei, so what? Do you think that you can make me surrender Jiangyuan City by relying on the name of the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings? Do you think this is possible?”
Cao Longfei’s expression darkened, “What’s impossible! I’m stronger than you! Old man, I’ll give you a chance to submit to me!” His tone was extremely harsh. His mouth was submissive and arrogant. He seemed to be giving to others, and it was an honor to others.
City Lord Su’s expression was extremely ugly, and he resolutely said, “This is impossible!”
“If I don’t give you a chance to grasp it well, then don’t blame me for being ruthless and ruthless!” Cao Longfei said fiercely.
The atmosphere instantly became very tense, as if a fight was about to break out. Many guards surrounded Cao Longfei and the others, pulling out their weapons and aiming at them.
Hong Pengshan watched this scene from the side and couldn’t help but shake his head with a bitter smile. This Cao Longfei really wasn’t successful. He was defeated. His words were so unpleasant that even a person with a good temper couldn’t stand it.
He walked forward and bowed, “This is Hong Peng Mountain. I’m from the Freedom Sect. I greet the Jiang Yuan City Lord.”
City Lord Su then turned his gaze to Hong Pengshan and said, “Oh? From the Freedom Sect, could it be Hong Pengshan, who is ranked 87th on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings? Another young hero. What day is it today that I can see two people on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings in succession?”
Facing the two geniuses, City Lord Su felt the pressure. Although these two young men were only at the Xiantian 3rd layer, he knew that this kind of character could not be measured by common sense. He was probably even more powerful than ordinary Xiantian 4th layer characters. He was very likely not a match for these two.
Just like Li Qing, although his cultivation was not high, he was able to defeat City Lord Su by himself for more than ten times. His combat strength was extremely terrifying.
It was good to have one. Relying on the large numbers of people in Jiangyuan City, they might even be able to repel the strong enemies, but now that two of them came at once, it would be troublesome.
Moreover, there was a group of companions behind the two of them. Obviously, they were also disciples of the Flying Frost Sect and the Freedom Sect. Their strength must be extraordinary, so it would probably be difficult to win them over in a fight.
Moreover, the disciples of these great sects were backed by powerful forces. City Lord Su did not dare to kill them so easily, so it was inevitable that he would be afraid of throwing a mouse at them.
Hong Pengshan’s attitude was much better than Cao Longfei’s. He explained to City Lord Su, “We didn’t come here today to seize your city. “Actually, it’s like this. Since the remnant of the Misty Forest Center has appeared, the elders of our sect want us to negotiate with you so that the people of Jiangyuan City can temporarily listen to our orders and work for the sect. What do you think?”
