"Alright, City Lord Xiao, let's talk about the situation inside the tomb." Nangong Yanrou stared at Xiao Deva Path.
Xiao Tian chuckled inwardly, knowing that the investigation team had given in.
but!
"As for the situation inside the tomb, I'm sure the beautiful Xue from the Biyou Palace has told you. My understanding is the same as hers, so there's no need to ask further. I really don't want to recall that disgusting and utterly desperate experience of life and death."
Nangong Yanrou frowned slightly and said in a more serious tone, " City Lord Xiao, this is our investigation team's mission in Luo Cheng. Please tell us what it is."
"I've said all I needed to say, see the guest out."
Nangong Yanrou's expression darkened; Xiao Tian's blatant disrespect was truly infuriating.
However, she was also aware that her initial assertive questioning had given Xiao Tian a bad impression.
Nangong Yanrou did not get up, but quietly stared at Xiao Tian.
The atmosphere fell silent!
Two minutes later, Xiao Tian stood up and said, "If you want to keep spacing out, then go ahead. This city lord has important matters to attend to, so I won't waste any more time with you. Farewell."
" City Lord Xiao, let's talk this out. I won't pursue the matter of Nangong City Lord Xiao Nangong Xiongye. I also ask that you stop this and cooperate with us."
Long Zaitian and the three elders in the office couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Their city lord was truly capable, managing to make the head of the investigation team from Dragon City suffer a setback.
Xiao Tian, hands in his pockets, looked completely unconcerned. He didn't turn around, but paused briefly as he strode out of the office.
"Beautiful lady Nangong, first of all, you need to understand that this isn't a matter of whether you pursue it or not; it's a matter of whether I, the city lord, pursue it or not. Don't put yourself on too high a pedestal; this isn't Dragon City."
After saying this, Xiao Tian left.
Nangong Yanrou's face immediately turned icy cold.
"Lord Nangong, please don't be angry. Our city lord has always been like this," an elder said with a smile.
Nangong Yanrou got up and left without saying a word. Not long after she left the office, she ran into Luo Xue from the Biyou Palace.
" Yanrou, let's talk."
" Luo Xue." Nangong Yanrou brows furrowed.
At this moment, Xiao Tian arrived at the place where Chu Feng was resting. Chu Feng and Zhou Quan were eating and drinking heartily, consuming Cola and roast chicken at an alarming rate.
" Brother Tian's here! Let's eat together! I have to say, the food at the City Lord's Mansion is really good! In the current situation, being able to eat roast chicken here really shows you're in a wealthy and powerful environment!"
" Fengzi, how are you feeling?" Xiao Tian asked Chu Feng.
Chu Feng laughed, "This feels amazing!"
"Fatty, go get some more Cola roast chicken."
"Okay." Zhou Quan quickly put down the chicken leg in his hand and left in a flash.
Inside the room, Xiao Tian and Chu Feng locked eyes.
"There's no one else here, Brother Tian, let's have a good talk," Chu Feng said.
Xiao Tian frowned slightly; he found Chu Feng somewhat unfathomable now.
"Are you Fengzi, or is it that antique?"
Chu Feng laughed and said, "I am both Fengzi and that ancient artifact. Of course, that depends on what you are. Are you one of those companions who sealed me away? Or the destroyer of this Heaven-Encompassing Plan?"
Xiao Tian Xiao; Chu Feng was getting interesting now.
Previously, he always leveled up by grinding through dungeons from a god-like perspective, which he found incredibly boring. But now, Chu Feng was someone he couldn't fathom, and his mundane, laid-back life had become a bit more interesting.
"Hehehe... I'm both one of those who sealed you away and the one who sabotaged this plan."
Chu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "So, what's your true stance?"
"Standard?" Xiao Tian sneered, "Believe it or not, if I hadn't been so ruthless, you wouldn't even have had the chance to be here and talking to me. Even if I couldn't destroy your original form, you wouldn't have been able to transform and return so quickly."
Chu Feng smiled, a genuine, hearty smile this time.
"That's true. You must be very curious about where I came from. I sense that this Eternal Chaos is slowly collapsing and entering Samsara. Your time is running out."
Xiao Tian was astonished. This guy's abilities have become so great now?
And what about you?
Chu Feng laughed and said, "I'll go back sooner or later, because I don't belong here."
"However, before that, whether I choose to speed up the progress here or change it depends on whether the world harbors any ill will towards me."
"Oh, then you'd better not even think about it. Just speed things up; this world is against you."
"That's true."
Chu Feng's smile faded, and he said seriously, " Xiao Tian, if you want to go with me to that other side, I will only give you a hundred years in this world. If your original body hasn't reached the peak of this Eternal Chaos by then, then you will be Samsara along with me."
"Tsk tsk, you've got quite the nerve. You're only at the Peak Shackle Realm, far from the peak of the Eternal Chaos. What makes you think you can rely on? Your bloodline? Believe me, I'll crush you right now and trap you here."
Chu Feng's expression changed slightly, then he laughed and said, "You can't trap me. I'm no longer the same person I used to be."
"Yeah?"
When Zhou Quan returned after making the Cola- roasted chicken, he saw Xiao Tian grabbing Chu Feng's head, holding a cup of Cola in his left hand, and shouting, "Do you submit or not?"
"I disagree."
Zhou Quan was completely bewildered.
"What are you two doing?"
Zhou Quan was a little confused.
Xiao Tian released Chu Feng and smiled at Zhou Quan, "That Fengzi is getting too arrogant and cocky now, relying on his high cultivation level. To prevent him from getting beaten up outside, I'll give him a beating first."
"Good beating! The Fengzi's been so cocky ever since he woke up! If I wasn't outmatched, I would have beaten him too! You guys continue, I'll eat and drink outside."
"Hehehe!" Xiao Tian turned his head and looked at Chu Feng, his eyes flashing with cold light.
Suddenly, the sounds of banging, popping, and groaning filled the room again.
"Hit them! Hit them hard! Show no mercy!"
In a certain part of the city lord's mansion, Nangong Yanrou and Luo Xue sat on the ground, looking at the imprisoned sky and whispering to each other.
"Xue, are you sure that Xuantian is really that Xuantian?"
"Most likely, after all, the injuries I sustained in the tomb had already damaged my very essence. It was lucky I even survived. But my current condition is even better than before I went into the tomb."
"Rumor has it that the ancient artifact that Xuantian of the Jade Void Palace took away back then possessed the power of creation, no wonder you think that way. According to reliable intelligence, the powerful figures of the Jade Void Palace have already entered Luo Cheng, but Xiao Tian's strength is very strong, and I can't quite see through him. If the Jade Void Palace really wants to succeed, I'm afraid the Palace Master will have to come in person." Nangong Yanrou said in a low voice.
"I don't care how Jade Void Palace wants to deal with Senior Xuantian, but if they target City Lord Xiao, I, Luo Xue, will not stand idly by."
Nangong Yanrou frowned. Although this person's tone was arrogant and implied that he could stop Jade Void Palace, he was not just boasting.
She knew some secrets: Luo Xue's position in the Jade Void Palace was quite delicate; the Vice Palace Master was Luo Xue's master, and rumors circulated that the Palace Master was Luo Xue's man.
"Xue, it was Elder Xuantian who saved you. This has little to do with City Lord Xiao, but from what you've said, you seem quite grateful to City Lord Xiao. You wouldn't have fallen for him, would you?"
Luo Xue smiled and said, "Back then in the tomb, if City Lord Xiao hadn't sent out the distress talisman in time, even if Senior Xuantian had been nearby, it would have been useless. Besides, what I valued most about City Lord Xiao was his potential. He's still young, yet he's already at such a level. He's bound to become a pillar of humanity in the future."
"Interesting. I understand the reports about Xuanyin and Beichen Feng. Also, I must tell you that Dragon City is planning to go tomb raiding."
Luo Xue frowned and said, "If it weren't for the intervention of the Carefree Realm, I would advise against going into the tomb."
"Otherwise what?" Nangong Yanrou asked solemnly.
"Captain, something terrible has happened! Nangong Xiongye contacted Dragon City as soon as he woke up; a big shot from your family is coming!"
"What?!" Nangong Yanrou's expression changed drastically. She had actually forgotten that Nangong Xiongye had another identity: a powerful figure in his family who held a significant position within the Jade Void Palace.
Watching Nangong Yanrou leave with a nervous expression, Luo Xue silently took out her phone and contacted Biyou Palace.
Outside the city lord's mansion, a special car drove out, carrying Xiao Tian, the city lord, along with his assistant Zhou Quan and secretary Chu Feng.
"Where are we going after leaving the city?" Zhou Quan was completely bewildered.
Chu Feng and Xiao Tian exchanged a glance and said, "Let's grind monsters and level up."
"Wouldn't that be a waste of this special car?" Zhou Quan felt it was a bit of a pity.
"It won't break, after all, the monsters we're fighting aren't necessarily monsters." Xiao Tian chuckled.
Zhou Quan suddenly realized what was going on; they were fishing.
The gates of Luo Cheng were wide open, and the chauffeured car drove out without any fuss.
The city's garrison was puzzled. Why would they drive a car out of the city? But since the Shinjo lord was inside, they couldn't ask him anything.
Inside the city gate, several people's expressions changed slightly, and they retreated.
The special car arrived at Blood Wolf Mountain, which is now thriving under the rule of the Wolf King Big Red, Da Blood Wolf Mountain.
Because they have to travel long distances to obtain food, the Blood Wolf ' physical fitness and strength evolve rapidly, truly embodying the saying that life lies in movement.
The arrival of the special car startled many of the Blood Wolf, Blood Wolf swarmed around it to attack.
"Don't fucking get excited! Get your Wolf King out here, the city lord of Luo Cheng needs to see it, hurry up!"
As soon Xiao Tian got out of the car, a Blood Wolf pounced at him, but he easily kicked it away.
Seeing their companion being harmed, the Blood Wolf remembered the rules the Wolf King had instructed them to follow, and their eyes turned ferocious as they attacked Xiao Tian one after another.
"Damn it! Are you looking for death?!"
The pressure of the Shackle Realm spread out, and the Blood Wolf immediately braked, staring at Xiao Tian with vigilance and fear.
Aww!
The Wolf King rushed over from afar and appeared in front of Xiao Tian.
" Big Red, long time no see! You've gotten so strong! That's not good. If you get too fat and strong, no man will like you. Even though we're a wolf clan, it's still a society where looks matter."
The Big Red wolf was speechless, its head covered in black lines. It was clearly the standard for a beautiful wolf in the pack.
If it wanted to, it could summon a large pack of wolves in no time.
"This wolf is interesting." Chu Feng, inside the car, noticed something amiss and couldn't help but chuckle.
