Chapter 1745: Chapter 937: Wrongly Accused by the City Guards
None of the City Guards understood what Lin Feng was doing; in front of such a ferocious Demon Beast, Lin Feng actually threw it some food.
He acted like Demon Beasts were livestock raised in his own backyard, almost making the surrounding City Guards laugh themselves to death.
A man shouted at Lin Feng, "Hey kid, are you here to die? You’re feeding this Demon Beast like it’s fodder, are you out of your mind?"
Yet in the next instant, Qiqiong actually started eating the feed on the ground, and that cultivator who had mocked Lin Feng instantly felt like a complete idiot.
Just like that, Lin Feng kept tossing food to the Qiqiong Beast while backing away; the Qiqiong Beast took several mouthfuls in a row, then followed Lin Feng for quite a distance.
The City Guards were all dumbfounded. Lin Feng pulled out another piece of feed and said to Qiqiong, "Want to eat? If you want to eat, then follow me." After he finished speaking, Lin Feng turned into a streak of flowing light and flew out of Liuzhou City.
How could Qiqiong give up such delicious food, so it simply charged straight after Lin Feng.
The City Guards didn’t have time to react at all, because both Qiqiong and Lin Feng were extremely fast. Lin Feng was using the Void Technique, so the City Guards and that ravenous Qiqiong couldn’t catch up to him.
However, Qiqiong was locked onto Lin Feng now; wherever Lin Feng flew, this Qiqiong followed, until Lin Feng finally stopped on a hillside.
Seeing a huge pile of feed, Qiqiong crazily started eating. Lin Feng took out all the remaining food from the Fragrant Wood Tripod and gave it to Qiqiong. He had no idea who had refined it; all he knew was that when he checked the Fragrant Wood Tripod, there had already been a great deal of food inside.
Lin Feng didn’t know whether Qiqiong really liked this stuff or not, but judging from the way it was wolfing it down, he figured this thing had been locked up inside for so long it had been craving food badly.
"Eat up, eat up, that’s a good boy." Lin Feng laughed. The quantity of food in front of him was so large it was like a small hill; there was no way this Qiqiong could finish it all.
When Qiqiong was about almost full, Lin Feng used the Illusion Bell, and Qiqiong was actually bewildered by it.
Lin Feng watched as the entranced Qiqiong became docile, its previous ferocity gone, turning into something like a tamed wild dog.
The corner of Lin Feng’s mouth curled into a slight smile; he found this very amusing.
He suddenly had the urge to reach out and touch this monster, to see what Qiqiong would feel like to the touch.
Qiqiong felt Lin Feng’s hand touch its head, and obediently stayed completely still. In the next instant, Qiqiong formed a contract and recognized Lin Feng as its master.
What Lin Feng didn’t expect was that right after Qiqiong recognized its master, the Deputy Captain of the City Guards led a squad rushing over.
They came in force, around one or two hundred men, each one a Seven Spirit Knot expert.
The Deputy Captain arrived and, without the slightest courtesy, said to Lin Feng, "Well, well, you brat. So the Demon Beast was actually released by you. Men, seize him!"
They had seen Lin Feng touching Qiqiong, and Qiqiong was extremely docile; at a glance it was clearly Lin Feng’s Spiritual Pet.
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed, his expression serious, because this was the first time he got wronged right after doing something so big and so good.
"I helped you lure Qiqiong out of the city, and you dare to accuse me of releasing it? Can’t you be bothered to investigate that it ran out from the Hundred Treasure Pavilion?" Lin Feng faced this wrongful charge and loudly questioned them.
Only then did the City Guards stop moving and refrain from arresting Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn’t stay idle either; he immediately put Qiqiong into the Spiritual Beast Bag. These people watched Lin Feng collect Qiqiong, and each of them was ready to follow the Deputy Captain’s orders, because no one could say clearly what exactly had happened here.
The Deputy Captain continued, "Men, this person is suspected of releasing a ferocious beast and disturbing the safety of the city. Take him down first and we’ll decide what to do after the investigation is clear."
Lin Feng didn’t run. He just watched as they arrested him, because he had indeed just saved Liuzhou City. If they wanted to arrest him, so be it; he didn’t believe there was no such thing as justice in this world.
If he ran at this very moment, things would become even harder to explain.
The City Guards escorted Lin Feng back into Liuzhou City to the City Guard Mansion, and after a round of questioning, they directly threw him into a cell. Naturally, all of Lin Feng’s belongings had to be handed over to the City Guards. Lin Feng cooperatively handed over the Spiritual Beast Bag as well.
In fact, the matter was very simple: as long as they went to investigate the Hundred Treasure Pavilion and question the eyewitnesses from that time, they would know what had happened. The City Guard Mansion had always stressed evidence in handling cases, so at this time they didn’t dare rashly convict Lin Feng, because if it weren’t for Lin Feng showing up, they would have all been slaughtered by the Qiqiong Beast already.
The City Guard Mansion conducted a thorough investigation, and the Deputy Captain was promoted to Captain for his merits in resisting the Qiqiong Beast.
Lin Feng was now sitting in the prison, dressed in plain clothes, feeling very speechless.
At this moment, the Deputy Captain came to the door of Lin Feng’s cell. He just stood there and had his men untie Lin Feng.
The Deputy Captain had now been promoted to Captain. Wearing his smug expression, he looked high-spirited and proud.
He said to Lin Feng, "We’ve already investigated everything clearly. The Qiqiong Beast did indeed come out from the Hundred Treasure Pavilion. The Hall Master of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion has already fled, and the remaining Disciples have confessed to the existence of Qiqiong. We also found traces in the Thunder Pond that had been used to imprison the Qiqiong Beast in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, and the aura matches this Qiqiong Beast. Added to your cooperation, your suspicion can be cleared."
