Feng Shao’s behavior immediately aroused Xin Ruxiong’s anger.
Xin Ruxiong stood up from the carriage, looked at Feng Shao, and asked coldly, “What do you mean, Your Excellency?”
Feng Shao smiled and said, “Since you already know it in your heart, why do you need me to say more?”
He wants to tear face, right? Then Feng Shao will do it better than anyone else!
Xin Ruxiong looked at the guests present. When he cast his eyes on Lin Fengtian, he paused for a moment and then continued to look.
After a while, Xin Ruxiong withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, “I have already experienced the way of hospitality in Wuling City. Your Excellency is worthy of being favored by Pavilion Master Lin. Seeing it today is really extraordinary.”
Feng Shao smiled slightly, “Your Excellency, please take a seat!”
In the eyes of the two of them, there seemed to be a faint flame bursting out.
At this time, a middle-aged man standing beside Xin Ruxiong snorted coldly, “Holy son, don’t forget what the Holy Lord told you!”
Xin Ruxiong glanced at him, chuckled lightly, and said, “Elder Hu, what the Holy Lord told me, I will certainly not forget, so Elder Hu, please take care and don’t be impatient.”Afterward, Xin Ruxiong turned his head and said to Feng Shao, “City Lord Feng, this holy son has something to discuss with City Lord Feng this time, please answer truthfully!”
Feng Shao raised his eyebrows.
From Xin Ruxiong’s words and tone, Feng Shao noticed something unusual. He suddenly realized that what the other party really wanted to do might not be provocation.
Sure enough, Feng Shao heard Xin Ruxiong say, “Chi Xuan, the former holy son of my Jiuyou Sacred Land, died at the hands of traitors. It was only because of the protection of the City Lord Feng that I have not been able to avenge the former holy son. I wonder if City Lord Feng can hand over the person who killed the late holy son Chi?”
When Zuo Linglan and the others heard this, their hearts tightened.
However, Feng Shao sat down slowly, and said with a smile, “It turns out that your Excellency is not here to attend the grand ceremony, but to chase after the murderer! But I’m sorry, I’m afraid holy son Xin will return empty-handed this time!”
Before Xin Ruxiong could speak, Elder Hu shouted angrily, “Junior, do you really think that with your ability, you can always protect Zuo Linglan and the others?”
Feng Shao tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said lightly, “Chi Xuan’s evil deeds are obvious, and he is full of evil. Everyone can punish such a person on behalf of justice. It is really admirable that Miss Zuo and others have killed him righteously. Such respectable people, yet you tell me to hand them over? Do you really think you have the face to do so?”
Elder Hu was furious, and shouted, “Feng Shao, you insist on protecting the murderer who killed the holy son of my Jiuyou Sacred Land, aren’t you afraid of getting killed yourself?! If you don’t hand over Zuo Linglan and the others today, you have to pay the price!”
Feng Shao smiled, ignored Hu Elder, and said to Xin Ruxiong meaningfully, “Hehe, it seems that your Excellency did not come here with good intentions!”
Xin Ruxiong smiled and said, “Brother Feng is too tense. If City Lord Feng can hand over the murderer who killed the late holy son Chi, then we are here with good intentions.”
“What if I don’t hand them over?”
Xin Ruxiong sighed, pretending to be helpless, and said, “Brother Feng is also a smart person, why bother to affect the friendship between Wuling City and Jiuyou Sacred Land for someone who is irrelevant to you?”
“Irrelevant?” Feng Shao shook his head and said, “I’m afraid your Excellency made a mistake. Miss Zuo is now a member of my Wuling City, how can she be said to be an irrelevant person? As for the friendship with Jiuyou Sacred Land? I dare to ask, is there any friendship between us?”
Xin Ruxiong seemed to be unconcerned and said, “So, Brother Feng is going to go his own way?”
Feng Shao sighed: “The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop. Jiuyou Sacred Land is so aggressive, isn’t it afraid of arousing the resentment of the world?”
The two talked to each other back and forth. Although their tones were calm, anyone could tell that the conversation collapsed in just a moment. Many of the guests present are even ready to leave, for fear of encountering disaster.
Elder Hu said impatiently, “Holy son Xin, this Feng Shao is colluding with Zuo Linglan and the others, why talk to him? Even if there is Yunjian Pavilion backing him, so what? When has our Jiuyou Sacred Land been afraid? Or is it that you are afraid?”
Xin Ruxiong glanced at Elder Hu, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly smiled and said, “Elder Hu, why don’t you come and talk to City Lord Feng, what did the Holy Lord say before you came here?”
Elder Hu looked at Feng Shao with a proud expression on his face, “Before we came here, the Holy Lord had already said, if this Feng Shao is sensible and hands over Zuo Linglan and then others, then our Jiuyou Sacred Land can let him go. But if he insists on protecting Zuo Linglan and the others, then the Jiuyou Sacred Land will kill his whole family!”
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Jiuyou Sacred Land has always acted domineeringly, and many people present have heard of it.
It’s just that Jiuyou Sacred Land is located in a remote place after all, and has little intersection with other sects and forces. For the vast majority, rumors are always just that, rumors.
Today, Elder Hu’s speech made them truly understand how domineering Jiuyou Sacred Land really is.
