After the Golden-armored General left, Shi Feng and his two companions continued to proudly stand in the Void, waiting.
In front of them, the hundred Golden-armored Generals looked at Shi Feng and his companions with displeasure. However, being seasoned veterans, they obeyed orders.
They genuinely hoped the City Lord would arrive soon and lead them to charge toward the three figures in front and hack them to death, alive. They wanted them to understand that in Sunset City, no force or person could afford to be dismissive!
In the City Lord Mansion’s council hall, splendid and majestic, similar to the Golden Throne Hall where the Emperor would sit.
The City Lord of Sunset City, Luoh Long, clad in Kirin Golden Armor, sat high on a golden Kirin throne. His face bore an imperial might, staring down intimidatingly at the civil and military officials of Sunset City lined up below.
In Sunset City, the City Lord Luoh Long had almost no difference from an Emperor.
Yet, he dared not declare himself Emperor outright.
As long as the Northern Border Dynasty’s influence did not wane in the North Domain, no force would dare proclaim themselves as Emperor. Otherwise, they would certainly face collective opposition and attack from all the feudal lords!
That day, as usual, Luoh Long held the morning court, listening to reports from the officials below.
"Report!" Just then, a panicked shout echoed from outside the hall.
"Hmm?" Hearing the anxious voice, Luoh Long frowned, his dragon-like face slightly angered as he coldly demanded, "Who is shouting? What has happened to cause such panic?"
At this mont, the eyes of the civil and military officials in the hall turned towards the hall entrance.
A golden figure rushed in, reaching the council hall in an instant. He knelt before Luoh Long above and exclaid, "My Lord, a few arrogant and presumptuous people have co to the City Lord Mansion asking to see you."
The person speaking was the sa Golden-armored General.
"Who are they?" Luoh Long asked coldly.
"I do not know! They said I wasn’t qualified to know their nas and insisted on eting you personally. They also said that if my Lord does not et them..." Here, the General hesitated.
Seeing the Golden-armored General’s hesitation, Luoh Long’s displeasure deepened as he coldly shouted, "If I don’t et them, then what? Stop hesitating and speak!"
"That person said, if my Lord doesn’t appear within half an incense stick’s burning ti, then our Sunset City... may as well cease to exist!"
"What!"
"What!"
"What!"
In the council hall, a burst of shocked exclamations and angry shouts erupted.
"Who is it! Who dares to be so arrogant! Let , the General, go and slaughter him!" A roar, like muffled thunder, exploded in the hall.
This person, standing at the forefront amongst the generals, was the Great General of Sunset City, Wei Zhenyuan—rumored to be the second strongest in Sunset City.
His Martial Arts Realm had already stepped into the Seven-star Martial Emperor Realm!
"We must dismber these people and hang their corpses on the city walls!" Imdiately thereafter, another round of furious roars filled the council hall!
Stirred by the words of the Golden-armored General, everyone grew incredibly agitated; never before had anyone dared to speak such words in Sunset City.
"Good! Very good!" At that mont, the City Lord Luoh Long, seated on the Kirin Chair, also began to coldly chuckle. He then icily said, "I would like to see who it is that demands that my Sunset City should cease to exist!"
As he spoke, Luoh Long suddenly rose from his chair. Behind him, a red cape with a golden Kirin pattern billowed without wind, fiercely swirling around!
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
Imdiately, the entire council hall erupted with roaring voices, surging battle intents, and soaring murderous auras!
In an instant, Luoh Long started to shimr with a brilliant golden radiance. To the onlookers, he seed to transform into a golden dragon, shooting straight up and piercing through the roof of the council hall, which violently trembled and shook.
Seeing Luoh Long charge up, in the blink of an eye, all the civil and military officials of the court also turned into streaks of light and rushed upward.
...
Above the City Lord Mansion, Shi Feng and two others still proudly stood in the void, and at this mont, they sensed waves of battle intent and powerful auras surging within the mansion.
"It seems Luoh Long is furious!" Luo Qingchuan looked down at the continuously trembling City Lord Mansion and coldly smirked at Shi Feng.
"After so many years, this guy has stepped into the Peak of the Eight-star Martial Emperor, just one step shy of the Nine-star Martial Emperor!" Shi Feng also looked down at the mansion, sensing the strongest aura rising from within and said indifferently.
"A step shy, yet it’s a difference between heaven and earth!" Luo Qingchuan lanted. He had never reached the difference between Eight-star and Nine-star Martial Emperors himself, but had witnessed it through this person at his side.
Back then, eight Eight-star Martial Emperors and one Nine-star Martial Emperor challenged him; all nine fell under his formidable power!
With a loud "Boom," a burst of violent force directly flipped the roof of the City Lord Mansion.
Amidst the spreading dust, imdiately afterward, a shadow of a Golden Dragon gleaming with dazzling golden light surged up, "Roar!"
Faintly, there was also the sound of a dragon’s roar echoing.
"Luoh Long!" Luo Qingchuan’s gaze fixed on that Golden Dragon’s phantom, his expression rapidly becoming serious.
Shi Feng, however, remained indifferent.
"Brother Shi Feng, this person is so powerful!" Zi Ya, the Snake-man Clan Girl beside Shi Feng, exclaid in shock, her body involuntarily trembling and stepping back under that aura.
Shi Feng also noticed the state of the girl beside him, turned his head, and comforted her, "Don’t worry, he won’t hurt you, he wouldn’t dare!"
As he spoke, Shi Feng had unknowingly placed an invisible barrier around Zi Ya to block the strong aura rushing from Luoh Long.
Zi Ya, not knowing why, suddenly felt much better.
Maybe it was because she heard the words of Brother Shi Feng, or perhaps it was because she was by his side.
As long as she was with this young man, Zi Ya felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.
After Luoh Long ascended into the void, below in the City Lord Mansion, more figures charged up one after another, all following behind Luoh Long.
Soon after, Luoh Long’s figure began to materialize, revealing him clad in the Kirin Golden Armor, looking majestic like a Golden War God.
And the over one hundred people who had just rushed up also materialized one by one behind Luoh Long, filling the void with murderous aura and boundless battle intent!
Gazes filled with murderous intent shot straight towards Shi Feng and his companions.
"Sunset City, Luoh Long!" Shi Feng looked at the Golden-armored Luoh Long standing at the forefront of the crowd, his cold smirk turning into a low murmur.
The Lord of Sunset City today, truly awe-inspiring indeed!
