At night, Afang Palace.
Under the night sky, Afang Palace was brightly lit, with the sound of a tumultuous uproar surging like a tsunami—it was the epito of luxury and decadence in Nan City.
When Xiao Zheng and his companions arrived, the staff were already at the door to greet them. The delicate and handso staff led Xiao Zheng and the others deep inside, to a luxurious room.
The room’s decor was on par with the presidential suites of ultra-five-star hotels. Stepping inside was like entering the palace of an ancient Emperor, with opulence as far as the eye could see.
Xiao Zheng looked around. On the sofa in the room, there were already two people seated. They sat opposite each other, but both were silent, creating a heavy stillness.
They were, of course, Qing Linfeng and Hua Futen.
Seeing Xiao Zheng and the other two enter, both n smiled and invited Xiao Zheng and his companions to take a seat.
The staff mber left the room and closed the door behind them.
"I hope you will not trouble the Eight-faced Buddha in the future," Xiao Zheng got straight to the point.
Hua Futen let out a cold laugh, "We may not necessarily listen to you."
"Hehe."
Xiao Zheng smiled, "Whether you listen to is not up to you."
Both n’s expressions changed slightly.
Hua Futen rembered the formidable strength Xiao Zheng and his companions had demonstrated that day, simply invincible, while Qing Linfeng thought of the leverage he held in Xiao Zheng’s hands.
The two had to admit dejectedly that in front of Xiao Zheng, what they wanted to do was really not up to them. Xiao Zheng had conquered them with his wisdom and strength.
"The incidents of the past have drifted away with the wind. Why continue to brood over them?" Seeing the expressions of the two n, Xiao Zheng laughed heartily.
He knew the timing was just right.
However, he still needed to provide them with a way out. Earlier was a show of force, a big stick, but now it was ti to offer them a carrot.
"As long as you both agree to my proposal, I’ll take these two gifts as a small token of my goodwill."
Xiao Zheng clapped his hands lightly.
Suddenly, the door to the luxurious suite was flung open, and a row of people filed in.
They were also carrying a large chest.
Hua Futen was shocked, his eyes filled with astonishnt and confusion as he abruptly stood up. This was Afang Palace, a property of the Huashan Sect! Logically, everything here should be under the control of the Huashan Sect, but the group of people who had recently arrived had not caused any disturbance...
Hua Futen turned his gaze to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng just smiled and said nothing.
Hua Futen sat back down, ultimately holding his tongue.
He knew this was a small display of Xiao Zheng’s might, suggesting that even on his own turf, Xiao Zheng still held everything in his hands!
"Is he really just a Sect Leader of the Tianji Sect? Such terrifying strength, and the formidable force displayed here! It’s definitely not sothing the Tianji Sect could accomplish alone."
Hua Futen was secretly shocked.
The impact on Qing Linfeng was less severe; he thought the line of people who had co in did so because Xiao Zheng had notified Hua Futen long before.
In a mont, the row of people had already reached Xiao Zheng and the others.
Xiao Zheng snapped his fingers, and imdiately, soone dragged over an ancient-looking long saber and presented it before Hua Futen.
"The Tang saber—Bright Moon. This Bright Moon was Tang Taizong’s personal sword. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Tang Taizong wielded this Bright Moon to behead the Crown Prince, securing his claim to the throne. After a thousand years, it remains exceedingly sharp, a sensational weapon."
Xiao Zheng explained with a smile.
After hearing Xiao Zheng’s words, Hua Futen was shocked. He sat up straight, his eyes gleaming with ecstasy. He extended both hands, trembling as he took the blade nad Mingyue. With a choking sound, he drew the sword from its sheath, and the bright blade’s light illuminated the room. The intense chilliness caused a shiver in one’s heart.
"Is this... really that legendary famous blade?"
Hua Futen asked with a trembling voice.
"I would naturally not deceive you on such a matter. You can take this Tang sword and have it appraised by experts—it’s guaranteed to be the real deal,"
Xiao Zheng smiled.
"Since that’s the case, then I’ll accept it."
Hua Futen caressed the Tang sword as if he were touching a lover’s hand, with utmost tenderness. Any displeasure he had towards Xiao Zheng instantly vanished like smoke.
Xiao Zheng had previously investigated and found that Hua Futen was a martial fanatic who also loved collecting various ancient weapons. This Tang sword, with its invaluable worth and status as a national treasure, was sure to satisfy him completely.
Qing Linfeng, witnessing this scene, was also astonished.
Though he was not interested in weapons, he too understood the value of this piece!
"Hehe, I also have a gift for Master Qing," Xiao Zheng indicated, and soone imdiately opened the large box that had been brought in earlier.
"This is..."
Seeing the contents inside, Qing Linfeng abruptly stood up, his eyes afla and his breathing rapid.
Inside the box was an exceptionally beautiful woman!
At that mont, the woman had her hands crossed over her chest, her eyes closed, and her long eyelashes seed to tremble slightly, giving her an air of pitiable charm, making one ache to hold her in their arms and shower her with affection.
"The latest robot from Arica’s Coriorns Company, the pinnacle of craftsmanship, the cutting edge of technology, a perfect fusion of science and art,"
Xiao Zheng’s voice was laced with temptation, "Inside this model are 13,048 programd modes, each derived from extensive research to excite n the most with movents and behaviors. If you train her with care, she can be more enchanting than Daji."
"I understand, I understand,"
Qing Linfeng’s voice was filled with excitent, "I’ve been paying attention to these for a while now, but the products from that company are too expensive, and the quantity is limited. Every new release is snapped up by the world’s top tycoons within minutes.
A standard model female robot costs enough to buy a Kirov-class cruiser! It’s absolutely beyond what people like us can afford. I never imagined... never imagined..."
Xiao Zheng chuckled and with a wave of his hand, the attendants moved the robot in front of Qing Linfeng, saying, "Take her ho and enjoy."
"Now..."
Xiao Zheng looked at these founders of powerful sects, "Do you agree to my proposal?"
"No problem, we will definitely not trouble the Eight-faced Buddha any longer!"
Both n nodded as eagerly as chickens pecking at grain.
What a joke!
How could a brother who probably had been forgotten for many years compare to the gift right in front of them? Most importantly, Xiao Zheng possessed the power to instill fear in them!
...
With that, the matter was perfectly resolved, and both sect leaders left with very satisfied hearts. Xiao Zheng and his group also prepared to return to Zhonghai City the next day.
However, the next day, a piece of news suddenly rocked the whole of Nan City!
Both sect leaders... were found murdered in their hos!
