284: Chapter 284 A hair

"Thunder Spirit City?" The moment Lin Bei appeared, his spiritual sense swept across the surroundings.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." The Fire Bird, seeing an Emperor City for the first time, was slightly excited. "An Emperor City really is different, huh? It's much grander than that Spirit Devouring Sword City from before!"

As it spoke, its eyes darted around. "It should also be wealthier, right?"

Lin Bei rolled his eyes, grabbed it by the neck, and started walking. "You're a Great Emperor, for goodness' sake. Don't act like a bumpkin!"

Just as the two people and the bird left the range of the Formation, a sarcastic voice rang out from behind them. "Are you just leaving like that?"

"What's up?" Kunkun immediately became interested and turned to stare at the two Thunder Spirit Clan Saints. "Does the Thunder Spirit Clan even provide an escort service?"

With their cultivation levels, how could they not have noticed these two Cultivators who had been staring at them?

"You don't belong to the Eighteen Royal Clans?" one of the Thunder Spirit Clan Saints asked with some doubt. "Did you use a borrowed path to teleport here?"

"That's right," Lin Bei nodded. "Is there a problem?"

"There's naturally no problem with borrowing a path..." the other Saint said with a face full of arrogance. "The Nine Great Imperial Clans allow it!"

"But! Didn't the Royal Clan you borrowed the path from tell you the rules?"

"Rules?" Kunkun raised a wing to scratch its head, then looked at Lin Bei with a bit of uncertainty. "Master, there shouldn't be any, right?"

Lin Bei's lip twitched. He didn't even bother to pay attention to the silly bird and looked at the two Thunder Spirit Clan Saints before him.

"When we used the teleportation Formation, indeed no one told us about any other rules. Please, enlighten us!"

"One hundred thousand yinming stones!" The arrogant Saint looked impatient. "Every time a teleportation Formation Plate of the Eighteen Royal Clans is activated, regardless of which Emperor City you are teleported to, a teleportation fee of one hundred thousand yinming stones must be paid!"

"These are the rules set by the Nine Great Imperial Clans!"

"What? You dare talk about money with your Lord Bird?" As a miser, the Fire Bird couldn't tolerate this at all.

"Forget it, forget it..." Lin Bei immediately stopped it. "Since it's a long-standing rule, there's no need for us to break it!"

With that, he took out a Storage Pouch. "One hundred thousand yinming stones!"

However, the two people opposite him did not reach out to take it.

The arrogant Saint's gaze swept over the Storage Pouch, a faint, mocking smile appearing in his eyes.

"My apologies! What I just mentioned was the old rule. Now, you need to pay two hundred thousand!"

Swish! This time, Lin Bei also smiled, waving his hand to take back the Storage Pouch. "Then, whose rule is this?"

"Oh? Seem a bit unwilling?" The arrogant Saint's smile widened. "Then I might as well tell you!"

"Not long ago, our clan's Imperial Son returned. This is a rule he personally set! Well? Do you still dare to disobey now?"

After speaking, he looked at Lin Bei playfully, waiting to see him obediently take out the yinming stones.

"Imperial Son? Oh, you mean Lei Buqun?"

"Lei... How bold!" The arrogant Saint was furious. "You dare to call the Imperial Son by his name!"

However, Lin Bei's next action left him even more dumbfounded.

"Lei Buqun! Get over here within three breaths! Get over here! Get over here..." A thunderous voice echoed throughout the entire Thunder Spirit City.

"You're looking for death!" The two Thunder Spirit Clan Saints were stunned for a moment, then suddenly attacked.

With the person in front of them causing such a commotion, the Imperial Son would surely vent his rage on them.

Their only chance of survival now was to kill the person before them before the Imperial Son arrived!

"Tch!" Watching the two pouncing toward them, Kunkun gave a bored yawn and casually shook its body.

Instantly, a small feather fell off and floated forward.

The faces of the two Thunder Spirit Clan Saints changed drastically. They watched the feather flying toward them rapidly enlarge, as if they were facing heavenly might, making it impossible for them to muster even a hint of resistance.

Boom! In the next breath, the feather pressed down like a ten-thousand-foot mountain, pinning the two underneath.

Pfft! Pfft! The two Saints spat out mouthfuls of blood, their eyes filled with terror.

Only now did they realize how terrifying the bird in front of them was!

"You... you... don't get cocky! This is the Thunder Spirit Imperial City! Even... even if you are..."

The previously arrogant Saint's body couldn't stop trembling, yet he still gritted his teeth, trying to spout harsh words.

Just then, a beam of thunderous light soared into the sky from the center of the city, its Great Saint Peak aura completely undisguised.

"Hahaha! He's here! The Imperial Son is here! Now, even if you are willing to pay the yinming stones, it's too late!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of thunder occurred, and a figure bathed in electric light appeared on the scene.

With a thought from Lin Bei, an invisible barrier appeared around them, blocking the many Cultivators watching the commotion nearby.

Then, he flicked a finger. "What the hell are you acting cool for?!"

Instantly, the thunderous light dissipated.

Lei Buqun didn't even care about the bump slowly rising on his forehead and hurriedly fell to his knees.

"Greetings... greetings, Emperor Lord!"

"Em... Emperor Lord?!" The two Thunder Spirit Clan Saints were struck dumb, staring blankly at the scene. "Imperial Son... this..."

"Shut up!" Lei Buqun suddenly turned around. "Lei Xiaomi, Lei Suqi, you two offended the Emperor Lord; your deaths are not to be regretted!"

Electric light flashed in his eyes, and the two Saints were instantly turned to charcoal.

"Aiyaiyaiyai..." Kunkun's eyes darted around, and it immediately lunged forward to hug that equally pitch-black feather.

"My feather! How did you get charred black by lightning? It's all Lord Bird's fault for not protecting you well! My most beloved feather..."

Lin Bei couldn't help but roll his eyes, knowing that this bird wouldn't let things go today without getting something out of it.

Lei Buqun was slightly taken aback and spoke with some uncertainty, "Lord... Lord Bird, I think I saw that it was already black before?"

Clearly, Great Emperor Thunder Spirit, Lei Dajun, had already told him about the Fire Bird.

"Bullshit!" Kunkun flapped a wing. "Look, just look. I, Lord Bird, am golden all over. How could I have a black feather?"

"It was clearly just charred black by your lightning! This is Lord Bird's most favorite feather. Compensate! You must compensate!"

Lei Buqun almost cried and could only cast a pleading look at Lin Bei.

Cough... Lin Bei immediately put on a bashful expression. "After all, it is its favorite feather. How about you compensate it a little?"

"What do you mean 'compensate a little'?" Kunkun immediately expressed its dissatisfaction. "Using his crappy teleportation Formation once costs two hundred thousand yinming stones. Is my feather not even worth as much as this crappy Formation?"

"Three hundred thousand yinming stones! No negotiations!"

Lei Buqun almost cried. Back then, ransoming himself from Lin Bei's hands only cost five hundred thousand yinming stones, and now a single feather cost three hundred thousand!

But did he dare not pay?

Lei Dajun had told him that this bird in front of him had swallowed a monster with the strength of a Peak Great Emperor in one bite!

At that thought, he didn't dare hesitate for a second. "I'll pay! I'll pay! Of course, I'll pay!"
