291: Reached an agreement with Lieyang Chongshan
“Grandmaster?”
Guo Feng was startled, then waved his hand, “Rise.”
Lieyang Chongshan and the crew quickly stood up, secretly observing Guo Feng with some trepidation.
In a remote place like the Lieyang Mountain Region, six-grade experts were rare, let alone seven-grade.
However, from the looks of this person, he seemed like a Young Master from some big city.
Only his accent seemed a bit strange.
As they sized up Guo Feng, Guo Feng also sized them up.
Lieyang Chongshan also looked to be in his teens, dressed similarly to Clan Leader Lieyang Yu and the crew.
However, he wasn't wearing a spiritual robe.
He appeared somewhat wild.
The other two males and one female were dressed even more shabbily than Lieyang Chongshan.
Although the female’s appearance was ordinary, she was tall and her skin was quite fair, but her temperament also carried a hint of roughness.
“Where are you from? You must be country folk, right? This place has powerful fierce beasts; is it a place you can come to?”
Guo Feng deliberately put on the air of a high-and-mighty dignitary and asked.
As expected, as soon as he spoke, Lieyang Chongshan and the crew became even more respectful.
“Replying to Young Master, we are from the Lieyang Clan of the Lieyang Mountain Region. To you, it is indeed the countryside.”
Lieyang Chongshan quickly replied, “My grandfather is Clan Leader Lieyang Yu, the Clan Head of the Lieyang Clan. A few days ago, due to a tremor in the Land of Sins, he led the crew to investigate and has not returned since. My clan uncle, Fiery Sun Prison Mountain, launched a rebellion and pursued us to this Land of the Condemned Mudflats. If it weren’t for Young Master saving us, we would probably be dead already.”
“Lieyang Clan? Never heard of it!”
Guo Feng waved his hand, “However, hearing about your clan's internal strife is somewhat interesting. This Young Master is also out gaining experience. I heard there was a ten-thousand-mile tide to see here, so I came specifically for it. Unexpectedly, I didn't even see the tide.”
He chuckled, “Since I’m idle anyway, what kind of specialties does your Lieyang Clan have? If you have any, give me some, and I’ll help you quell whatever rebellion it is.”
“Really?”
Lieyang Chongshan heard Guo Feng's words and didn't doubt them at all, after all, the Yan Yang Empire was extremely vast.
And it was divided into eighteen feudal lords.
Feudal lords governed separately!
It was normal for various accents to differ.
Moreover, he was indeed at his wits' end now.
In fact, even if he went to Yanshan City and found the City Lord, he would still have to promise enough benefits for them to help him.
He quickly said, “Our Lieyang Mountain Region has two treasures: one is the Lieyang Maiden, and the other is the lieyang stone.”
He pointed to the woman next to him, “Young Master, you see how beautiful and fair our Lieyang Maidens are, skilled in song and dance. This is one treasure.”
“Lieyang Mountain is rich in lieyang stone. lieyang stone contains powerful fire spiritual energy and is a supreme treasure for cultivation.”
He laughed, “If Young Master helps me quell the rebellion, I am willing to give you ten Lieyang Maidens and a hundred lieyang stones!”
“A hundred?”
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow.
Seeing this, Lieyang Chongshan quickly said, “Young Master, lieyang stone can fetch a high price of one thousand spiritual energy primordial stones in the imperial capital. One thousand spiritual energy primordial stones can buy ten third-grade slaves.”
Guo Feng pretended to ponder.
He was secretly delighted.
lieyang stone is actually that expensive? One thousand spiritual energy primordial stones per piece!
A hundred pieces would be one hundred thousand spiritual energy primordial stones, which is one hundred thousand spiritual energy primordial stones.
However, he certainly never thought of only asking for a hundred lieyang stones from the other party.
Since they were opponents.
Then, there was no need to talk too much about morality.
He wanted it all!
“Heh, you think one hundred thousand spiritual energy primordial stones is enough for me to act for you? Do you really think this Young Master has never seen the world?”
He sneered, looking at Lieyang Chongshan, “Five hundred thousand spiritual energy primordial stones, and I’ll conveniently go play in your so-called countryside.”
“Alright…”
Lieyang Chongshan gritted his teeth and agreed, but was secretly delighted.
He had made the right gamble.
He saw the other party's arrogant demeanor, completely disregarding his Lieyang Clan.
Calling it countryside every other word.
So he would pretend to be poor!
Five hundred thousand spiritual energy primordial stones to invite a seven-grade expert to assist was actually a huge gain.
Of course, he wasn't really reluctant to part with these spiritual energy primordial stones.
Rather, if he was too generous, it might arouse the other party's greed, and it wouldn't be impossible for a seven-grade expert to wipe out his clan.
Therefore, at that very moment, he also had seven or eight hundred tricks up his sleeve.
He then said, “Young Master, I still don’t know your esteemed name.”
“Guo Feng.”
Guo Feng didn't hide it either; anyway, there was no one here who knew his name.
“Surname Guo? That’s a royal surname!”
Lieyang Chongshan's expression changed.
It turned out that in the Chaos Continent, surnames similar to 'Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang, Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li' were surnames of those above feudal lords.
They represented the existence of ancient families!
Other surnames were based on things existing in nature, such as Lieyang, Yanshan, Hongjiang, and so on.
He quickly bowed to Guo Feng, “Greetings, Young Master Guo. Thank you, Young Master Guo, for being willing to lend us a hand.”
“Enough nonsense, lead the way.”
Guo Feng waved his hand.
He also heard Lieyang Chongshan say 'royal surname', but his expression didn't change on the surface.
He just secretly paid attention.
At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the Chaos Continent also had the surname Guo.
“Yes!”
Lieyang Chongshan then led the crew towards the cliff.
Along the way, Guo Feng released his aura, and not a single fierce beast dared to approach.
They arrived at the edge of the cliff, which had a drop of a thousand meters.
Guo Feng naturally leaped up in one go.
However, people like Lieyang Chongshan, who were only at level thirty or so, had to continuously jump and climb the stone wall to get up.
As soon as they jumped, fierce birds attacked them.
These fierce birds were quite bold.
They wanted to take advantage of the high-altitude domain to snatch a human.
However, Guo Feng directly waved his hand, sending out a qi sword that instantly blasted a level fifty fierce bird apart.
This stunned Lieyang Chongshan and the crew.
“Ancient Sword Control Art!”
Lieyang Chongshan and the crew were first greatly startled. What Guo Feng called fierce beasts were actually generally referred to as demonic beasts here.
In this Land of the Condemned Mudflats, great demonic beasts ran rampant.
They had almost died at the hands of demonic beasts before.
And at this moment, they were climbing the cliff precisely because Guo Feng was there.
Guo Feng's move was within their expectations.
But Guo Feng's qi sword technique greatly frightened them.
Because these cultivation methods and divine abilities had long been lost.
As expected of a Young Master from a royal family!
After they ascended the cliff, they bowed to Guo Feng again, “Thank you, Young Master, for saving our lives.”
“It’s a small matter.”
Guo Feng waved his hand, “Lead the way.”
Subsequently, under the guidance of Lieyang Chongshan and the crew, they crossed several large mountains.
Finally, they arrived at a huge valley.
And Guo Feng clearly felt that once they reached this area, the number of demonic beasts decreased significantly, and their levels were much lower.
Clearly, this was a very livable place.
Guo Feng stood at a high vantage point, and with a glance, he saw that the Lieyang Clan indeed had a large population.
It was like a huge walled village.
With high city walls.
And densely packed buildings.
Probably tens of thousands of people lived here.
When they arrived beneath the city wall, Guo Feng realized that the wall was extremely high, a full hundred meters.
Its style was actually somewhat similar to Jinwu City.
However, the quality was vastly different.
Jinwu City was like a city from a futuristic world, while this place was like a walled village from ancient times.
As soon as they approached, a deafening thumping sound came.
Someone among them shouted, “Lieyang Chongshan is back!”
Then, a piercing whooshing sound echoed in the air…
