zhao mingxuan was the one who spoke so disdainfully. he appeared in the air and looked down on long chen.
“i’ve found you displeasing from the start. now, i finally have a reason to kill you.”
clearly, he didn’t care what kind of grievance there was between long chen and the soaring dragon company. he didn’t care who was right and who was wrong. even if the soaring dragon company was framing long chen, it didn’t matter. he just needed an excuse. the cultivation world was just that rough and cruel.
“it just so happens that i also find you displeasing. the day you attack me is the day your head falls to the ground,” said long chen indifferently.
zhao mingxuan was definitely the one that long chen detested the most out of all of them. it was because he had dragged long chen’s father and mother into their argument. if it weren’t for yu qingxuan being present at the time, long chen would have killed him regardless of the rules.
now, this hateful fellow had actually jumped out of his own accord. long chen also decided to definitely kill him. it just so happened that he needed an opportunity.
“hopefully, brother mingxuan can give me face and leave him to me. i hate him far more than you, don’t you think?” wu yang also stepped forward.
“sorry, i really can’t concede when it comes to this. how about after i kill him, i split his corpse in half for you?” said zhao mingxuan with a smile.
“what use is half? am i going to use it for stew? whatever. but brother mingxuan, i won’t let him off. at that time, whoever kills him will get the whole thing!” said wu yang, laughing.
yu qingxuan’s expression sank. these people were going too far. they were absolutely despicable, treating long chen as prey.
other than wu yang and zhao mingxuan, all the others besides feng xiang came out. they all glared at long chen coldly, not bothering to conceal their killing intent in the slightest.
yu qingxuan was about to speak when long chen said, “you don’t need to persuade them. they won’t listen. i’m going to go into seclusion for a few days to sharpen my saber. once the heavenly flame world opens, i will definitely slaughter all these ignorant animals to scare off the foolish monkeys.”
long chen waved goodbye to yu qingxuan. it was not good for him to stay by her side right now.
one reason was because people were constantly provoking him, making her angry. many of them might even say that he was getting close to yu qingxuan for other motives.
he didn’t want to bring yu qingxuan any trouble, not even the tiniest bit. he didn’t want to draw her into his battle.
yu qingxuan had told him that the heavenly flame world would descend around a month from now. hence, he wanted to use this time to raise his cultivation base.
previously, he hadn’t dared to increase his realm too quickly. but now he had the assistance of the wine god palace’s wine. when the power of the wine and pills was merged, he wouldn’t need to have so many misgivings.
thus, even if the soaring dragon company hadn’t come this time, long chen and yu qingxuan would still have to go into seclusion to prepare for the heavenly flame world.
it was simply that this incident caused the two of them to split up and go into seclusion.
having denied the city lord mansion’s invitation, long chen went into seclusion in the huayun trading company. this made him feel a bit more at peace.
...
within the city lord mansion, the city lord was looking out at the scenery outside the window. he was silent.
as for his son, feng xiang, he was quietly standing behind him. he had waited half an incense stick’s worth of time, but his father had not said anything.
“father. did you need me for something?” feng xiang asked.
“i told you to go invite long chen. did you go?” said the city lord indifferently, not even looking back.
“i sent someone to invite him, but he didn’t come,” answered feng xiang.
“i told you to go, not to send others to go. xiang-er. you really disappoint me.” the city lord sighed.
“father, i don’t understand. why do you care so much about that little fellow? in order to accomplish your mission, do you know how wu yang and zhao mingxuan look at me now? i no longer have the slightest face in front of them. while they are targeting long chen, you want me to personally go to long chen’s door and invite him? how am i supposed to live afterward?” feng xiang’s expression was a bit unsightly. he felt very resentful inside.
“fine. you really are beyond cure.”
the city lord finally turned to look at feng xiang and shook his head.
“pass down my orders! starting today, feng ling is the future city lord!”
upon hearing this, feng xiang’s expression became exceedingly ugly. he was enraged.
“why are you doing this?!”
suddenly, the city lord’s hand caught feng xiang’s throat, and a sharp killing intent instantly enveloped feng xiang.
