Chapter 1635: Chapter 1637: What I Want Is Your Curiosity!
Three people arrived at the General Residence.
Ji Huang had apparently already yelled about returning home, so the gatekeeper eyed Lu Xiaobu and the others with great caution.
"Please inform them that Zhou Shuai, Ding Leng, and Lin Feng from Hengqin Academy are here for a visit." Zhou Shuai stepped forward and spoke.
The gatekeeper’s eyes turned, immediately recalling Zhou Shuai and Ding Leng’s names, though he hadn’t heard of Lin Feng. Still, anyone accompanying those two must be special.
Thus, he dared not neglect them, inviting the three into the guest hall before notifying General Ji.
The three sipped tea while Zhou Shuai softly introduced General Ji to Lu Xiaobu.
"He fought alongside the City Lord in countless battles and is at the Nascent Soul Stage. You should watch your temper," Zhou Shuai briefly indicated General Ji’s standing.
Powerful and influential!
"I understand." Lu Xiaobu nodded, knowing he needed to pay attention to this guy.
He recalled being startled upon reviewing Hengqin City’s materials.
The four cities under Gourd Waist had no Nascent Soul cultivators, yet Hengqin City had so many, truly terrifying.
If not for the unique geographic position of the four cities under Gourd Waist, those four would not live with such leisure.
The reason is simple: both the east and west need such a buffer zone.
Otherwise, conflict is inevitable.
Under such unspoken conditions, the four families under Gourd Waist can live cautiously.
Of course, since Lu Xiaobu became the shared leader of the four cities, likely, policies on both sides will start to shift slowly!
They will not allow the four families under Gourd Waist to become a true powerhouse!
However, the large city’s actions are slow.
So Lu Xiaobu has time.
Let’s not talk about how long these big cities take; if he truly dallies there for a year or more, he should return to the Heavenly Dynasty quickly to avoid embarrassment!
Based on the progression, Lin Feng should have seized half the island by now.
After all, his methods are far more ruthless, though the cost is high and likely to lead to betrayal.
Thinking of Lin Feng, Lu Xiaobu wasn’t sure if it was a curse.
Indeed, at this moment, Lin Feng was dealing with a rebellion.
"City Lord, East Ah City has rebelled!"
A person in black reported suddenly.
"East Ah City?" Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed, exuding a murderous aura: "Who’s supporting them?"
"It’s Zhang Qilei from Qilei City!" The person in black replied immediately: "The opposition hasn’t even tried to hide it."
"Alright! Even a pack of wild dogs dares to snatch food?" Lin Feng slapped the table and stood up.
"City Lord, should we deploy the hidden forces?" The person in black’s eyes flashed sharply.
"No rush." Lin Feng’s attitude suddenly chilled: "Wait until they’re at our gates, then make an example out of them! Let everyone else see!"
"There’s one more thing..." The person in black opened his mouth hesitantly.
"Speak." Lin Feng squinted, roughly guessing the content.
"He’s... come again!" The person in black lowered his head, knowing the City Lord was most displeased with the person.
"Alright! Then I shall go meet my mentor!" Lin Feng’s tone turned gentle, yet his gaze remained icy.
"He, he said he needs ten pairs of young boys and girls..." The person in black felt the air solidifying.
That person practiced dark arts, requiring young boys and girls for his Tripod Furnace.
Initially, no one knew of this matter, but somehow the City Lord learned of it.
Subsequently, the City Lord became his apprentice.
It’s precisely under his support that the City Lord could intimidate those at the Nascent Soul Stage.
It’s all because he’s at the Divine Separation Stage!
"That old bastard, one day I’ll skin him alive." Lin Feng said coldly without any avoidance.
"Gulp!"
The person in black swallowed hard, realizing he’d heard what he shouldn’t have.
"Send them to him; you know what to do." Lin Feng said blandly.
These are neither people of Blue Water Planet nor of the Heavenly Dynasty; he felt no sympathy!
Not our kin, their hearts must differ!
Moreover, he hailed from this world’s so-called Demon Realm, so it’s only fitting to do demon-like deeds!
"Understood, I’ll go find the bandits." The person in black nodded quickly, cold sweat trickling down like a stream.
Apparently, outsiders had no clue — the City Lord, who seemingly led them toward glory, was so vicious behind the scenes, resorting to every trick imaginable!
"What are you thinking?" Lin Feng suddenly squatted down, looking up at the black-clad man’s face.
"Ah! N-nothing!" The person in black was instantly on the brink of collapse.
That smiling face!
Beneath that smile lay countless corpses!
"Do your work well, so you can live well." Lin Feng patted the black-clad man’s shoulder as a fierce gleam flickered in his eyes.
It needs a cleanup.
Though training new people is bothersome, some things simply need to be purged.
"I’ll go see that old bastard; you handle the rest." Lin Feng turned and left.
He pondered how to break through barriers, knowing relying on external forces was temporary.
Headache!
If he doesn’t break through soon, he’ll fall into a dead cycle.
The old bastard likely saw this too, which is why he behaves as he does!
After he left, the map behind him, at this moment, had more than half encircled!
Clearly, Lu Xiaobu’s estimate of Lin Feng was somewhat high, not half, but a small half!
Of course, the throne on this small half of the territory felt rather unstable.
...
Disregarding Lin Feng, Lu Xiaobu was here, waiting for General Ji’s arrival.
Finally, General Ji arrived leisurely.
First, he gave a slight bow to Zhou Shuai and Ding Leng.
These two were favored by fate; he couldn’t neglect them.
Then his eyes fell on Lu Xiaobu.
That gaze was sharp, tinged with murderous intent!
It was clearly an attempt to give Lu Xiaobu a warning!
Zhou Shuai and Ding Leng couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Let’s hope Lin Feng doesn’t look too bad!
This pure murderous aura wasn’t an oppression of cultivation; higher cultivation didn’t guarantee resistance!
However!
At that moment.
They were stunned to find a towering murderous aura emerging from beside them, colliding violently with General Ji’s aura!
The air seemed filled with a bloody scent, nauseating.
This scene not only surprised Zhou Shuai and Ding Leng but also brought a hint of surprise to General Ji’s eyes.
This young fellow appeared so youthful; how could he possess such murderous aura?!
It wasn’t right; this kind of aura wasn’t something developed from killing one or two people but required experience on battlefields, rolling through mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
General Ji’s curiosity piqued.
He withdrew his murderous aura and sat at the main seat.
Lu Xiaobu clearly saw that touch of curiosity and a faint curve appeared at the corner of his mouth that nobody noticed — this was exactly what he wanted, his curiosity!
