Chapter 168: Greedy Words Hurt the Most
The sound of breaking the air made Jiang Feng's heart tighten, and he looked at the sky with a strong fighting spirit, only to see a middle-aged man, with a scruffy beard, who was inspecting the battle traces and tragic conditions left around, it was the city lord of Chaos Immortal City!
"It turned out to be the senior of the city lord! Don't scare me, okay? I just experienced a life-and-death battle, and I'm tired now!"
Jiang Feng saw the person coming clearly, his tense nerves finally relaxed, he calmed down, and lay on his back on the ground, letting the scattered snowflakes fall on his face.
"What the hell is going on here?"
The city lord fell back to the ground and looked at Jiang Feng, wanting to ask the truth, but found that Jiang Feng had already fallen asleep, and seeing that he was seriously injured, he could only carry him back to the city lord's mansion first. On the way, he found the same seriously injured Summer Night, Dugu Shengyi and Yumeng, and brought them back to the City Lord's Mansion together.
He had been meditating until he suddenly felt a terrifying aftermath of the battle, followed by a report from his soldiers. Now the chaotic fairy city is panicked because of the flower picking thieves, he has not been able to solve the matter for a long time, it is already a dereliction of duty, and he is most afraid that a wave of unsettled waves will rise again, and the current chaotic immortal city can no longer withstand this.
But when he determined that the location of the incident was the mass grave hill in the shade of the mountain, and hurriedly arrived, he only saw the devastation after the dust settled, and this place obviously experienced a life-and-death battle, and Jiang Feng and the four of them were among the participants.
The city lord already knew the identity and origin of Jiang Feng and the others, so he had no intention of slacking off, and he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He is just a city lord of Zhao State, he doesn't know much about Kyushu, but he is not ignorant, if something goes wrong with these little ancestors here, he believes that Yunxiao Hall and Extreme Sword Peak will definitely not let him go, and it is a luxury to leave a whole corpse at that time.
Jiang Feng didn't sleep for a long time, but he woke up in a moment and received treatment with the three of them in the summer night, when they saw that Jiang Feng was fine, they already knew the ending, but after all, they had to take into account the city lord and other outsiders' ignorance of the truth, so the four of them healed while informing the city lord of the whole story of tonight.
When the city lord learned the news from Jiang Feng that the flower thief had died, in addition to shock, his heart was more ashamed and self-ashamed.
Chaotic Immortal City is under his jurisdiction, but he has seen two rape and murder cases in a row, and now he has eliminated the culprit by the four foreign monks who have not broken through the Immortal Sect, and he is a great monk in the early stage of the Danding Realm, not inactive, but he has not played a crucial role from beginning to end.
Especially when he knew that the flower thief had been disguised as Jia Yi in the city lord's mansion, taking the opportunity to commit crimes, evading pursuit, and his original true cultivation and purpose of committing crimes, this kind of self-esteem reached the top.
In the end, the city lord really felt shameless to stay with Jiang Feng and the four of them anymore, and said goodbye and left. In the early morning of the next day, the City Lord's Mansion announced to the residents of the Troubled Immortal City that the flower thief who had been in trouble for many days had been punished last night, and there was no need to worry about the innocent death of a young girl in the future.
In the list text, a lot of pen and ink was devoted to publicizing the achievements of Jiang Feng and the four people. Explain what kind of young heroes the four of them are, and they are extraordinary, especially when it is vaguely mentioned in the list that the cultivation of the four has not broken through the realm of the Immortal Gate, this contrast between the enemy and me has pushed the reputation of the four to the peak.
The city lord's original intention was to let Jiang Feng and the four of them show off and enjoy the praise and praise of the people of Chaotic Immortal City, which could be regarded as an alternative show of goodwill. After all, in his cognition, young people are more or less fond of vanity, and by doing so, he should have satisfied the vanity of the four to some extent, which could greatly enhance Jiang Feng's good impression of him.
Jiang Feng does not deny this, they do have a lot of vanity, but they are more well versed in a truth - "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it"!
When the branch owner of Juxian Building heard about this, he also sent a good healing elixir with great fanfare, Jiang Feng understood that the development of things was beginning to be a little unexpected.
Juxian Lou took the initiative to send the elixir because of their origins, but the monks in the Chaotic Immortal City didn't know that for them, Jiang Feng and the four of them were no different from strangers who didn't know anything.
In the evening of the same day, after Jiang Feng and Xia Yeyan agreed, they decided to leave the City Lord's Mansion and return to the stone house to heal their injuries, only saying that they wanted to be quiet and comfortable. Whether it was in the City Lord's Mansion or in the Stone House, it was all in the Chaotic Immortal City, and it was reasonable for the City Lord to stop him too much, so he readily agreed to Jiang Feng's request.
Dugu Sheng didn't ask much, this was a trust in Jiang Feng and Xia Yeyan for many years, and Youmeng didn't ask much, she probably guessed Jiang Feng and Xia Yeyi's plans and concerns.
......
Late at night, except for Dugu Shengyi who was meditating and meditating, Jiang Feng, Xia Yedi, and Youmeng were just closing their eyes to recuperate. It was cold outside the stone house, and it was snowing again......
Suddenly, Dugu Shengyi woke up from his meditative state, frowned, and looked out of the house, only to find that Jiang Feng and the others had been paying attention for a long time.
Although the stone house is located in the middle of nowhere, it is by no means an isolated place, but tonight it is covered with a layer of solemn and oppressive atmosphere for no reason, melting in the wind and snow, making the snow even more cold.
"Boom!"
The sudden loud noise was like an impudent guest coming uninvited, and Jiang Feng and the four of them saw several thunderbolts flashing, and the stone house was already in ruins.
"Close!"
In the dust, the silver light was like a line, and Jiang Feng protected the four of them with a thousand feathers, and put them away again before the dust was gone.
With a wave of his hand, the summer night dispelled the smoke and dust, and looked around, outside the stone house, there were dozens of menacing strangers standing at some point, all hiding their faces and not showing their true faces.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the matter with visiting late at night?"
Summer Night's voice is very soft, not the slightest emotion can be heard, even in the middle of the night, her beauty is as striking as the bright moon, more like a dream, dressed in a dreamlike coat, more and more heartwarming.
Although Jiang Feng and the others did not speak, they could clearly hear countless sounds of swallowing spittle, and the sound of sudden and rapid breathing after seeing the summer night.
"You don't have to pretend to be benevolent, I waited for tonight to come here to get rid of evil!"
At last, a sturdy leader stood out in the crowd, his words were sharp, but his eyes never took off the summer night.
The corners of Jiang Feng's mouth hooked up a mocking arc, and asked, "Eliminate evil?" We just killed the flower pickers and prostitutes, where does the evil in your mouth come from?"
"You four are just deceitful people who steal your name, why did you kill the flower pickers and prostitutes, where are the bodies of the thieves? I see that you have been in a gang from the beginning, but you have just put on a show in a vain attempt to deceive the good! We have come tonight to bring you wicked and murderers to justice on the spot!"
This person's voice is not good, and his words are also harsh, but he makes Dugusheng, who doesn't say a word, happy.
"When the thieves were in chaos and mutilated the innocent, I didn't see you come forward, and when we hunted down the murderers, I didn't see you helping, and now the thieves are in ambush, but you clowns who jump off the beam run out and shout to eliminate the evil and defend the way! I want to know, what kind of evil are you guarding besides?"
"Hmph!" a woman beside the leader snorted coldly, "Hypocrites will only flaunt their own righteousness!
"Ha! What a rhetoric!" Jiang Feng clapped his hands and sneered, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a brazen person like Ru'er! Dozens of guts and bandits who want to hide their true faces, you are also worthy of representing the people of the world? Hypocrites? Hmph! Hypocrites are brighter than you, and they have insulted the word 'villain' by scolding you villains!"
"Jiang Feng, you are looking for death! Do you want to fight against dozens of us with serious injuries?"
Xia Ye Dai frowned slightly, and then said again: "It seems that you are not good at coming! But I am curious, why do you say that we are in the same group as the flower thief?"
"The four little monks who have not broken through the Immortal Sect have killed a monk in the late stage of the Divine Sea Realm, and the Yuan Shen cultivation is also not weak, do you think you are telling a story? If it weren't for the fact that you are carrying the supreme treasure, you would be a deceitful and fame thief with a gang of flower picking thieves!"
The leader's inference made Dugu Sheng so angry that he was speechless for a while, and accidentally touched the wound, revealing a state of pain.
Seeing that Dugu Shengyi was still about to refute it, Yu Meng preemptively said: "Dugu Shengyi, don't you still understand? These people didn't come to 'eliminate evil' from the beginning, they came for the 'treasure' that we successfully killed the thief!"
"I'm not stupid enough to be like this!" Dugu Sheng retorted in a low voice, "I'm just annoyed that they are so upside down!"
"What is right and wrong? What is black and white? What if it is reversed? In the cultivation realm, when have you ever seen a strong person tell a weak person about right and wrong in black and white, and those who talk about these things are always only weak people! Because the strong don't need to be like this, they are the ones who make the rules, they set the boundaries between right and wrong, and the weak can only abide by them!"
Youmeng's words made Dugusheng not know how to reply for a while, Jiang Feng looked at her deeply before turning around.
"Although the words are a bit extreme, and I can't agree with some of these views, but, judging from the current situation, I support Xiaoyou!"
Jiang Feng looked at these hidden people in front of him and continued: "If our cultivation has reached the Divine Sea Realm, then such a situation will definitely not occur tonight, our weakness is often the direct cause of our predicament!"
These black-clothed men looked at Jiang Feng and the four of them, and listened to them quietly after they finished speaking, without interrupting without interjecting, and always sneering.
"If you want to deliberately delay the time and wait for rescue, I advise you to die of this heart! The enchantment has already been laid around it, and the city lord will meditate alone in the room after nightfall recently, and he will not notice the abnormality here. You're right, our operation is to take advantage of all of you to be seriously injured, so weak that you don't even have the strength to fight back!"
Xia Yeyan looked at the leader until he finished speaking, and then he smiled sarcastically: "It turns out that there are still people from the City Lord's Mansion...... Although your purpose has been clear from the beginning, it is difficult for you to find a reason to 'go on the table' for so long!"
Jiang Feng raised his hand and waved, and Qianyu Suo appeared beside him, and when the people around him cast their eyes, they couldn't hide the greed in their hearts.
"Although you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse? But your rhetoric is really too clumsy! Open the skylight and say bright words, since we have torn our faces, we don't have to hide it anymore. You just want this treasure, and we are seriously injured, and we just want to have a life without worry, how about it?"
"Dealing with smart people is worry-free! Give us the treasure, and we will leave immediately, and we will not embarrass you!"
I don't know if Jiang Feng listened to the leader's promise, but he nodded and said to himself: "It's good to deal with smart people, but the only drawback is that you will be pushed to death unconsciously!"
"What did you say?"
"I said, there is only one treasure in this treasure, you can distribute it yourself!"
With that, Jiang Feng raised his hand and threw Qianyu Suo into the crowd, while he turned around and stepped aside indifferently.
"There are thousands of words in the world, and the only one that causes people to die in vain is the word 'greed'!"
Whispering, Jiang Feng's words, I don't know who to say it to, myself, or others?
The only difference was that the three of them heard him clearly, while these masked people who came unkindly didn't listen to a word!
They're busy right now......
"The treasure is mine, don't let any of you try to do anything!"
"The treasure weapon that can kill high-level monks beyond the ranks, I'm going to decide!"
"If you dare to rob me, I will kill you!"
......
