30: Chapter 30 The City Lord's Fate? Second Master's One Sentence Was Enough!

The battlefield in the sky and on the ground paused for a moment.

City Lord Fang?

The people of the Wang and Li families felt their hearts jump violently; an ominous premonition welled up within them.

On the Jiang Family side, everyone was stunned.

Who was Second Master talking to?

A sigh came from the night sky.

"Sigh…"

This sigh was not loud, but it fell clearly into everyone's ears, calming the turbulent Qi and simultaneously bringing a palpitation-inducing pressure.

Immediately after, a white light appeared out of thin air, arriving first despite starting later, and precisely struck the whistling Wind-Fire Wheel.

"Ding—"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a crisp sound like jade chimes striking each other.

That High Grade Spiritual Artifact burning with Xun Wind Fire was actually deflected by a great force, spinning away with an unwilling hum, crashing into and collapsing a rockery in the distance.

This powerful attack was neutralized just like that.

The next moment, a figure appeared in front of Lin Yueyao, back turned to her, blocking all the pressure.

The person wore the official robes of the City Lord's Mansion; it was none other than the City Lord of Jiangyuan City, City Lord Fang Ming.

"City Lord Fang Ming!!"

The eyes of Ancestor Wang Gang and Clan Head Li Ziwen turned blood-red instantly, and they roared simultaneously.

They never dreamed that this old fox, who had been sitting on the fence and wishing they would all perish with the Jiang Family, would actually enter the fray!

And at such a critical moment!

City Lord Fang Ming ignored them, only turning his head to glance at Lin Yueyao behind him, whose face was slightly pale and who had blood at the corner of her mouth.

If she really died on his turf...

He felt a chill behind his neck.

"City Lord Fang, what is the meaning of this?!" Ancestor Wang Gang pointed his ghost-head broadsword at City Lord Fang Ming from afar, questioning him, "The Dynasty has orders prohibiting officials from interfering in clan disputes. Are you trying to defy the Royal Decree?!"

"Clan Head Wang jests."

City Lord Fang Ming finally turned around, the heartache on his face turning into an official fake smile, but his tone was unquestionable.

"This City Lord does not intend to interfere in your private grudges, but... this Fairy is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and her status is noble."

"If she were to suffer even the slightest mishap within the borders of my Jiangyuan City, let alone me, even the entire Jiangyuan City would not be able to withstand the wrath of the Qingyun Sect."

Clan Head Li Ziwen's face turned livid, and he argued stubbornly: "She volunteered to stand up for the Jiang Family. Life and death are fated; what does it have to do with others!"

"That is not the right way to put it." City Lord Fang Ming shook his head, looking like he was conducting official business, "Since she is in my city, I have the responsibility to ensure her safety. If this matter were to reach Yanjing, to the Qingyun Sect..."

Before City Lord Fang Ming could finish speaking, a lazy voice came from below, interrupting his long-winded speech.

"City Lord Fang, rest assured, the Jiang Family will not be stingy with the reward promised to you."

Jiang Feng stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, laughing heartily as he spoke.

Once these words were spoken, the whole scene was shocked!

What?

Reward?

Ancestor Wang Gang and Clan Head Li Ziwen's bodies shook, their brains buzzing.

Could it be... that the Jiang Family had colluded with this old fox, City Lord Fang Ming, long ago?!

Even the Jiang Family disciples, including Clan Head Jiang Nan, were stunned.

How did they not know about this?

City Lord Fang Ming was also taken aback, the muscles on his fat face twitching, and he cursed Jiang Feng in his heart.

This old thing, what is he spouting nonsense about! Isn't this pushing him into a pit of fire!

He just wanted to open his mouth to explain, but saw Jiang Feng winking at him. The meaning in that gaze was very clear: Don't explain, just accept it; there will be plenty of benefits for you!

City Lord Fang Ming understood instantly.

Jiang Feng was binding him firmly to the Jiang Family's chariot in full view of everyone!

To admit it would be to confirm the crime of accepting bribes and defying the Royal Decree.

To deny it, Jiang Feng could immediately counter by saying, "Since the City Lord is so noble and incorruptible, then there is no need to trouble you with the safety of this Fairy," and by then, he could neither leave nor stay, and would be in a lose-lose situation!

This old bastard!

City Lord Fang Ming cursed inwardly, but on his face, he had to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying.

Jiang Feng ignored him further and instead cast his gaze toward Lin Yueyao, lifting his chin at her.

Lin Yueyao understood instantly.

A cold killing intent flashed in her eyes.

Her figure flickered, and she took the initiative to kill toward Clan Head Li Ziwen!

"You're courting death!"

Clan Head Li Ziwen's expression changed, thinking she was at the end of her rope after being injured, and was about to urge his Magic Treasure to meet her.

But on Ancestor Wang Gang's side, he was blocked by City Lord Fang Ming.

"Clan Head Wang, don't be so hot-headed." City Lord Fang Ming laughed heartily and summoned a copper coin Magic Treasure, blocking Ancestor Wang Gang's path, "If there is anything to discuss, we can sit down and talk slowly."

"Talk to your mother! Get lost, you bastard!"

Ancestor Wang Gang roared, waving his ghost-head broadsword, and attacked City Lord Fang Ming fiercely!

However, City Lord Fang Ming, as the Lord of a City, had a cultivation of Foundation Establishment Mid-stage.

Although he didn't use lethal force and only blocked, he stuck to Ancestor Wang Gang like glue, making it impossible for him to break away to aid Clan Head Li Ziwen.

Without Ancestor Wang Gang's restraint, in a one-on-one situation, how could Clan Head Li Ziwen be a match for Lin Yueyao?

Seeing Lin Yueyao's sword stance unfold, the ice-blue sword light turned into aurora filling the sky, dancing ceaselessly.

The Cultivation Technique she practiced was inherently pure, and her foundation was built with a High Grade foundation establishment pill, so the quality of her True Qi was far superior to those of the same rank.

Clan Head Li Ziwen was instantly suppressed until he couldn't breathe, and could only wave his folding fan in a sorry state, constantly summoning wind shields to resist, but he was frozen by the pervasive cold air until his hands and feet went numb, and his movements became sluggish.

As one rose and the other fell, he soon found himself in precarious danger!

"Fairy is mighty!"

"Second Master is brilliant!"

Seeing this scene, the Jiang Family disciples below felt the pent-up frustration of over ten days swept away, and their morale soared!

They looked at the white-haired old man standing with his hands behind his back below, their eyes full of awe!

So, even the City Lord entering the fray was within Second Master's calculations!

"Kill!!"

Following Clan Head Jiang Nan's angry roar, all the Jiang Family disciples erupted with sky-high killing intent, launching the fiercest counterattack!

The Cultivators of the Wang and Li families were already low in morale, and now seeing their own Clan Heads—one trapped, one being beaten—they were even more terrified; where was there any Battle Intent left?

For a time, the battle situation presented a lopsided massacre!

Wherever Young Master Jiang Chen's long sword passed, flesh and blood flew, and screams rang out one after another.

Jiang Feng watched the battle in the sky, then looked at the retreating enemies on the ground, the smile on his face finally disappearing completely, replaced by indifference.

His cold voice, though not loud, clearly rose above the slaughter of the entire battlefield and entered the ears of every Jiang Family disciple.

"Young Master Jiang Chen, Clan Head."

Clan Head Jiang Nan and Young Master Jiang Chen's bodies shook, and they looked at him in unison.

Only hearing Jiang Feng give the order slowly, word by word.

"Leave none alive."
