(4 more) “Kid, your ti to die has co!”
Tang Lie cald down all at once and burst out laughing, “Ling Feng, I can’t beat you, but what does it matter?
Do you think brute force can solve everything?
No matter how strong you are, do you dare to oppose the City Lord Mansion?”
The faces of the surrounding guests instantly turned incredibly vivid, and the onlookers who had just been cheering inwardly all adopted solemn expressions, nodding in agreent.
“Indeed, this brat, he doesn’t look at where he is.
Is this a place for him to run wild?”
“With the City Lord present, this guy has really walked into a trap.
Today we can avenge our gang leaders and redress our grievances!”
“I think this kid is definitely dood today!”
Ling Feng shook his head.
These guys’ ability to see which way the wind was blowing was simply flawless.
“Hmph!”
Tang Lie straightened his clothes and shot Ling Feng a sidelong glance, then ignored him, imdiately behaving like a fawning dog as he went out to greet soone.
The guests in the Spirit Hall were all extrely respectful, welcoming the arrival of the City Lord.
Iron Wolf City, being on the frontier, had all of its successive City Lords as military generals with powerful troops at their command.
Such people were simply not ones these local powers could afford to trifle with.
The City Lord of Iron Wolf City was not much different from being a local tyrant.
At that mont, a middle-aged man dressed in a golden robe, followed by several mbers of the Black Armor Forbidden Army, strode into the Skeleton Gang’s residence.
By his side was a middle-aged general dressed in black armor, walking alongside him, his status seemingly no less than the forr’s.
This morial service, ostensibly initiated by Tang Lie, was actually manipulated by this City Lord behind the scenes.
Forces like Skeleton Gang were nothing more than easily carved up fat at in his eyes.
Whoever gave him enough benefits, he could give them a small boost, as long as he kept any single power from becoming too dominant, and thus he could gain great benefits.
“Greetings to City Lord Helian!”
From afar, Tang Lie had already struck a pose and hurried to the City Lord’s side, bowing and scraping.
The various dignitaries and gentry of Iron Wolf City also flocked to welco the grand arrival of the City Lord.
“Today is to hold a morial service for the three Gang Leaders Guo; everyone, there is no need for such formalities.”
Helian Xiong waved his hand and turned to look at the black-armored general beside him, speaking indifferently, “General Long, please go ahead.”
General Long’s expression was cold, clearly not much interested in this so-called morial service; had it not been for Helian Xiong’s insistence, he would certainly not have co.
“It should be City Lord Helian to go first.
I, Long, am new to Iron Wolf City and do not know much about the various powers here.”
“What better opportunity to get acquainted than this?” Helian Xiong laughed, and pointing to Tang Lie in front of him, said indifferently, “This is Tang Lie, the Acting Gang Leader of the Skeleton Gang, also a major force in Iron Wolf City.”
Those elders of the Skeleton Gang were secretly grinding their teeth.
They hadn’t expected City Lord Helian to openly acknowledge Tang Lie as the Acting Gang Leader of the Skeleton Gang on this occasion, leaving them no choice but to accept it.
As slippery as Tang Lie was, his heart leapt with joy, and he imdiately bowed to General Long, “Your humble servant Tang Lie greets General Long!”
General Long rely nodded slightly toward Tang Lie without saying much more, his face remaining impassive.
He had heard a bit about the reputation of Skeleton Gang and was aware of what sort of thing it was.
“What are you all standing around here for?” Helian Xiong looked around and spoke loudly, “The three Gang Leaders Guo and I also had quite a deep relationship; today, we must offer them proper incense.”
With that, Helian Xiong strode forward, entering the Spirit Hall, only to see a young man standing at the top with an arrogant expression, a smile that wasn’t quite a smile on his face, and several spiritual tablets under his feet.
“Well, in just that brief mont, Ling Feng had already trampled the spiritual tablets of those three Guo brothers into smithereens.”
“Dammit!
Ling Feng, you’ve got so nerve!”
Tang Lie imdiately jumped up, cursing loudly, “You dare to show such disrespect to the spirits of our three gang leaders!”
“Disrespect?” Ling Feng kicked away the shattered pieces of wood under his foot and sneered, “I was the one who slaughtered them; talking about respect or disrespect is rather pointless now, isn’t it?”
“Hisss!”
The guests around couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
Now that defines audacity, doesn’t it!
To be even bolder than before, right in front of the City Lord—does this young man really not fear death at all?
City Lord Helian clearly hadn’t anticipated such an unexpected turn of events at today’s rembrance service, and his face darkened as he turned and glared at Tang Lie, asking in a cold voice, “What’s going on here?”
The aura of a King-level expert swept out, instantly causing Tang Lie’s calves to go weak.
“City Lord, this young man is the murderer who killed our three leaders, and now he dares to cause a ruckus in the Spirit Hall, showing complete disregard for the law!” Tang Lie’s voice trembled slightly, but he still accused Ling Feng of a serious cri before the City Lord.
Sure enough, City Lord Helian imdiately turned his icy gaze toward Ling Feng, his eyes fiercely piercing.
However, Ling Feng, having already encountered several mbers of the Demon Emperor within Sky Demon City, was unfazed by the aura of a re King-level expert.
He dared to stay here because he had his own trump cards.
These days, who didn’t have a little bit of background?
Is being an Imperial Physician of the Divine Country enough?
Is being a Guest Elder of the Cangqiong Sect enough?
Just as Ling Feng was about to flash his token in the face of the Iron Wolf City Lord, a cry of surprise suddenly ca from outside the Spirit Hall.
“Eh?
Is it really you?”
Everyone turned to look, and it was none other than the previously stern-faced General Long who had spoken.
In a flash, General Long had swept into the Spirit Hall and positioned himself in front of Ling Feng, laughing out loud: “Young friend Ling Feng, long ti no see!”
“You are…” Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched as he suddenly rembered—this man was General Long Xiao, the Commander of the Black Armored Cavalry Army who, on the day Wen Tingguang sent Ling Feng back to the Wenxian Sect, had faced off against the Earth Fire Fla Ghost.
That day, General Long had even considered giving Ling Feng a letter of recomndation to join the Black Armor Forbidden Army.
After a brief mont of recollection, Ling Feng imdiately broke into hearty laughter and said, “General Long Xiao!”
“Weren’t you serving in Yunxi County?
How co you’re here in Iron Wolf City?”
“Hehe, after dealing with the Earth Fire Fla Ghost that ti, I was rewarded by the Empire.
Recently, when the Demon Clan army besieged the city, they also transferred my troop over here; I’ve only just arrived!”
The two of them chatted away as if no one else was there, right atop the Spirit Hall.
The atmosphere suddenly turned incredibly eerie, and the guests couldn’t help but feel pity for the three Guo brothers for three whole seconds.
The n were dead, yet their Spirit Hall had to endure such turmoil!
Indeed, when one is alive, one truly mustn’t commit too many sins!
