"Luo Feng! Luo Feng..."
After Xue Fei and Housekeeper He left the square, the spectators around them finally recovered from their shock and shouted rapturously at Luo Feng.
In Dayang Mansion, the relationship between Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi was already an open secret.
The people from the City Lord Mansion saw Luo Feng as one of their own and were imnsely thrilled to see him defeat Xue Fei.
However, not everyone cheered for Luo Feng.
In a corner of the square, several guards from the City Lord Mansion gathered together.
These guards all wore helts, concealing their faces, but the sharp gleam in their exposed eyes revealed that they were all skilled warriors.
"I heard before that the top newcor from the four colleges in the Flowing Cloud Region this year has grasped the Grand Montum. I didn’t take it seriously, but I didn’t expect him to be so formidable," one of them said, looking at Luo Feng in amazent.
A person next to him nodded, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, "This young man truly is fearso. If he keeps growing, he could beco a great threat."
"Why not kill him now, and capture that little beauty, Yang Wanyi, as well? Her beauty is really sothing. If we present her to our Demon General, we would surely receive a rich reward!" The first speaker glanced at Yang Wanyi, his eyes wicked and lecherous, and he burst into a ghastly laughter.
"Let’s not forget our mission here."
The person standing on the far left shook his head, and his deep voice echoed from underneath his helt, "Sure, Luo Feng’s potential is indeed impressive, but it is still just potential. Right now, the biggest threat is Yang Dingtian. As a master at the Ninth Level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, if he progresses to a True Yuan Realm master, he will beco a major obstacle for our Blood Demon Sect! Moreover, since he has wounded our Demon General, he certainly must be eliminated!"
This man was apparently the leader of the group. As soon as he spoke, everyone else imdiately fell silent. One of them then said, "Yang Dingtian has been poisoned by our Blood Poison Demonic General’s Blood Yin Poison. He’s dood to die, turning into pus and blood sooner or later. Why bother sending us all this way to deal with him?"
"The Blood Yin Poison is not incurable. The Blood Poison Demonic General is simply worried that delays might bring complications. It’s been two months since Yang Dingtian was poisoned. His strength should be less than thirty percent of his peak. Now is the best ti to kill him."
The person on the far left paused, his gaze sweeping across Yang Wanyi on the square. His eyes sparked with determination as he continued, "Don’t worry. As long as we kill Yang Dingtian, you can do whatever you want afterwards."
If anyone had been there to hear their conversation, they would undoubtedly have been terrified.
These n were not from the Hundred Kingdoms Territory, but disciples of the Blood Demon Sect from the Western Region.
During the last fight between Yang Dingtian and the Blood Poison Demonic General, Yang Dingtian was poisoned with the Blood Yin Poison, and the Blood Poison Demonic General was also severely injured.
The Blood Poison Demonic General had been holding a grudge ever since, wishing he could dismber Yang Dingtian. Because of this, he took the risk and sent several of his reliable n to Dayang City to wait for an opportunity to kill Yang Dingtian!
As Yang Dingtian was an expert at the Ninth Level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, his strength was unfathomable. Fearing failure, these n hadn’t acted imdiately but had hidden in Dayang City, waiting for the right mont. Now, they thought the ti was ripe.
"HEH HEH, thank you, Captain. True to its status as one of the four major cities in the Flowing Cloud Region, Dayang City has a lot of pretty girls. I’ve been so stifled having to disguise myself all this ti. Once this task is over, I’ll make sure to let loose here!"
Hearing their leader’s words, their eyes all lit up with nefarious intentions.
"Captain, when should we make our move?" soone suddenly asked.
The guard on the far left pondered for a mont, then said, "Tomorrow. We’ll disperse for now; don’t give ourselves away. We will strike tomorrow morning!"
As soon as his words finished, the n quickly dispersed, disappearing into the crowd.
"Luo Feng, congratulations!"
Upon reaching the edge of the square, Luo Feng was greeted by Steward Li with a beaming smile. He patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and said, "There is a saying that one should look at a man with new eyes after three days of absence. I never anticipated that your strength would grow this much in just a few months, and that you’d manage to defeat a master like Xue Fei with your bare hands."
Luo Feng gave a slight smile. His expression showed no smugness; he considered defeating Xue Fei to be expected.
Lifting his head, Luo Feng looked at Yang Wanyi and said, "I have handled your trouble for you."
Yang Wanyi gifted him a charming smile, "It seems I made the right decision asking for your help."
Luo Feng pursed his lips and turned to leave, "I have so matters to discuss with City Lord Yang. I have to go."
Beautiful won were always trouble! In just a brief quarter of an hour, his eting with Yang Wanyi had led him to offend the Young City Lord of Fla Sand City. Luo Feng now just wanted to get away from this troubleso woman as quickly as possible.
"CHUCKLE, my father is in seclusion in his study, and I’m afraid he won’t see you. If you have any matter, you can tell ."
Yang Wanyi took a step forward, blocking Luo Feng’s path. Her enticing body leaned slightly forward as if she was about to fall onto Luo Feng, her half-narrowed bright eyes gazed directly into his.
Luo Feng was normally too composed. Yang Wanyi deliberately behaved like this, wanting to see him lose his calm, but Luo Feng did not play into her hands.
Luo Feng kept his gaze steady and said, shaking his head slightly, "This is sothing I must discuss with City Lord Yang personally."
"Not even ?"
Narrowing her eyes and slightly curling her red lips, Yang Wanyi spoke in a languid tone. Her temptation was natural and irresistible, making one want to agree with her instantly.
"No. You can’t."
Seeing Luo Feng’s firm expression, Yang Wanyi rubbed her smooth forehead and pouted, "Always so mysterious! What an annoying guy. Alright, co on, I’ll take you to him. But I can’t guarantee that he’ll see you."
As she said this, Yang Wanyi’s gaze dimd slightly, and she looked sowhat dejected. She turned around and started to walk ahead.
Luo Feng didn’t notice Yang Wanyi’s change of expression. He followed her towards the depths of the City Lord Mansion.
A mont later, the two arrived at a beautifully adorned pavilion with its doors tightly closed.
Yang Wanyi turned her head to signal Luo Feng to wait and then stepped forward a bit, calling out, "Father, Luo Feng is here. He says he needs to see you."
CREAK!
As soon as her voice fell, the door was imdiately thrown open, and out ca Yang Dingtian. This was surprising to Yang Wanyi, as she had been turned away on her past few visits.
"Luo Feng, I was just about to send for you, but you beat to it," Yang Dingtian greeted Luo Feng with a huge laugh, looking very pleased.
Luo Feng examined Yang Dingtian, his eyebrows creasing slightly, but he quickly masked it with a smile, "City Lord Yang..."
"Hm? What did you call ?"
Yang Dingtian raised his bushy eyebrows.
With a touch of helplessness in his heart, Luo Feng cupped his fists in salute, "Father-in-law."
"That’s more like it."
Yang Dingtian laughed heartily, causing Yang Wanyi, standing to the side, to also reveal a hint of helplessness on her red lips.
"Luo Feng, I’ve heard plenty about your exploits in recent tis. Be honest, did you go to Green Wood Peak after you left Dayang City?" Yang Dingtian walked over to Luo Feng, asking.
Upon hearing this, Yang Wanyi also turned her gaze over, equally curious about the matter.
Luo Feng knew he couldn’t hide this from Yang Dingtian, so he nodded his head.
"Excellent! Daring to venture into Green Wood Peak alone! You are indeed a worthy son-in-law of Yang Dingtian!"
Yang Dingtian threw his head back and laughed, patting Luo Feng on the shoulder. "There is a bit over a month left before the assessnt for the Twelve Golden Palaces. You’re not diligently preparing, so for you to seek out, it must be for sothing important. What is it?"
Luo Feng didn’t respond but glanced at Yang Wanyi instead.
Yang Dingtian was taken aback for a mont, then quickly understood. He turned to Luo Feng, "Let’s discuss this inside."
After saying this, Yang Dingtian turned back to Yang Wanyi, "Waner, I am aware of Xue Fei’s marriage proposal. Since he is Fla Sand City’s Young City Lord, we cannot dispense with formalities. Write him a letter explaining the situation."
Yang Wanyi was extrely intelligent and of course, she understood that Yang Dingtian was trying to send her away. She bit her red lip, glared fiercely at Luo Feng, before reluctantly nodding her head.
Luo Feng and Yang Dingtian withdrew to the study. With a wave of Yang Dingtian’s hand, the door imdiately shut tight.
"Father-in-law, has the potency of the Blood Yin Poison grown stronger?" As they entered the study, Luo Feng asked, turning to look at Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian was taken aback. He walked over to a nearby chair and sat down, a bitter smile playing on his lips. "You could tell?"
Luo Feng nodded. Although Yang Dingtian had done a pretty good job of hiding it, it was not difficult for Luo Feng to spot it with his Soul Power.
The man’s aura had dwindled significantly compared to their last eting.
Sighing, Yang Dingtian said, "The potency of the Blood Yin Poison is more formidable than I imagined. My current power is less than thirty percent of what it was at my peak. I am afraid I can only hold on for another three months. My intention of sending for you was also about this matter."
Looking up, Yang Dingtian fixed his stare on Luo Feng, speaking in a solemn tone, "Luo Feng, I hope you can take over the position of City Lord of Dayang City. Also, take good care of Waner for . This girl has been spoiled rotten by since she was little..."
Understanding Yang Dingtian’s intent, Luo Feng hurriedly waved his hand, "Father-in-law, it isn’t that desperate yet..."
"Luo Feng, are you planning to reject ?" Yang Dingtian’s eyebrows creased slightly. Luo Feng was his pri choice.
Feeling helpless, Luo Feng let his finger swipe the storage ring.
A verdant jade box appeared in his hand. Luo Feng handed it over to Yang Dingtian and said, "Father-in-law, have a look at this first."
A puzzled expression crossed Yang Dingtian’s face. He took the jade box and opened the lid.
Instantly, the entire study was awash in jade-like radiance. A pleasant fragrance filled the air, while a cool, refreshing aura pervaded the room, seeming to augnt it with a hint of vitality and refreshing the senses.
"This is?!"
Yang Dingtian’s eyes widened in shock as he stood up abruptly, looking at Luo Feng. "Luo Feng, is this the Qingling Pill?"
A faint smile ca over Luo Feng as he nodded, "Yes, this is the detoxifying Spirit Pill, the Qingling Pill. Father-in-law, I’ve heard this Qingling Pill can cure your Blood Yin Poison."
Yang Dingtian gazed at the pill in his hand, excitent erupting in his eyes as he nodded repeatedly, "You’re not wrong. The Qingling Pill is a fifth-grade detoxification Spirit Pill, and it indeed can cure Blood Yin Poison."
"Luo Feng, where did you get this Qingling Pill? This fifth-grade Spirit Pill is extrely rare. Even with endless wealth, it’s hard to co by."
After a mont of excitent, Yang Dingtian looked up at Luo Feng, a thought crossing his mind. He asked, worried that the pill might involve significant complications that could implicate Luo Feng.
"Father-in-law, I obtained this from the Duanmu Family."
Understanding what Yang Dingtian was concerned about, Luo Feng felt a warmth in his heart. He briefly explained the circumstances of how he found the Qingling Pill formula in the Duanmu Family’s possession.
As he listened, Yang Dingtian kept nodding his head. "I didn’t expect the Duanmu Family to possess the recipe for such a Spirit Pill. Luo Feng, I owe you a huge favor."
"Father-in-law, you’re being too serious. I was just doing what I could."
Luo Feng shook his head, continuing, "The longer the detoxification of the Blood Yin Poison is delayed, the more dangerous it becos. You should detoxify now."
"Alright! In that case, Father-in-law won’t stand on ceremony."
Knowing Luo Feng was right, Yang Dingtian nodded, swiftly sitting down cross-legged and preparing to take the pill for detoxification.
