None of Your Business
This figure was a slender white-haired elder, wearing a black crown, with sharp features, white eyebrows and short beard. From his body emanated the aura of the fourth-level Martial Emperor realm.
Landing not far ahead, this elder spoke to Lin Xiao politely: “Young friend, calm your anger. This old man is the city lord of Zong Yan City. I hope young friend will give this old man some face and spare Zou Yun. This old man will compensate young friend for the losses.”
Hearing this, Zou Yun’s heart slightly relaxed.
Yu Huai Lu’s strength was on par with hers, and his persuasion had no effect at all.
After all, no matter how great the power of their Four Valleys was, they could not arrive now to intimidate the opponent.
But this city lord was a powerhouse at the fourth-level Martial Emperor realm. The weight of his words was different.
With the city lord stepping in, even if the opponent wanted to act, he would have to weigh it carefully.
If he dared to act, then he would have to be buried with her.
Thinking of this, a bit more confidence appeared on Zou Yun’s face, confident that Lin Xiao would not act against her.
“The city lord has come!”
“The dignified city lord speaking to him so politely is giving him too much face.”
“No choice, Zou Yun is in his hands, so he has to be this polite. Otherwise, if he angers the opponent, even if the city lord kills him, the person cannot be saved, and Spirit Phoenix Valley will definitely have opinions.”
“The city lord has come. No matter what, this kid definitely will not dare to act. If he acts, he will die. If he is smart, perhaps he can negotiate conditions to preserve his life.”
…
Whispers of discussion rang out everywhere, and more and more people surged around. After all, the city wall was destroyed, the city lord appeared; the commotion was too great.
And those who had been injured by the earlier fluctuations were secretly resentful, wishing the city lord would immediately act and strike down Lin Xiao.
Seeing the city lord of Zong Yan City appear, Lin Xiao’s brows slightly furrowed. The opponent was deliberately emanating the aura of the fourth-level Martial Emperor.
Although the opponent spoke politely, it was not without elements of coaxing with one hand and threatening with the other.
“This matter, does it concern you?” Lin Xiao asked displeased in retort.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding spectators were all stunned.
This kid actually dared to use such a tone to question the city lord?
Hearing Lin Xiao’s words, the city lord knew Lin Xiao was a tough one and could not help but smile bitterly: “Your dispute originally has nothing to do with us.”
“However, since it is at the gate of Zong Yan City, this old man cannot shirk responsibility!”
Sighing unhurriedly, the city lord politely requested: “I hope young friend will spare someone when possible!”
“This matter has nothing to do with you!” Lin Xiao rejected, his tone firm: “The person was killed by me. If Spirit Phoenix Valley comes looking, let them come find me.”
Hearing this, the city lord’s brows involuntarily furrowed. He had not expected this youth to be so unyielding, not giving him any face at all.
Most importantly, he had deliberately revealed his fourth-level Martial Emperor realm cultivation. Could the opponent not see what situation he was in?
Hearing Lin Xiao’s words, the surrounding crowd became even more indignant.
“This kid actually dares not to give the city lord face?”
“Simply courting death. Making the city lord lose face, does he still think that after killing Zou Yun, the city lord will let him leave?”
“This kid is probably just an impulsive youngster who has not seen the world!”…
Even Zou Yun was stunned for a moment. The city lord had already made it very clear, yet this guy still wanted to kill her.
Could it be that this guy was really single-minded and did not understand the city lord’s meaning?
At this time, the city lord’s face also became serious. His tone was no longer polite but carried a hint of threat as he said: “If young friend insists on doing this, this old man can only take young friend down and hand him over to Spirit Phoenix Valley.”
The reason he said it so directly was that he was still afraid the opponent would not understand his situation and act recklessly.
With that said, the pressure of the fourth-level Martial Emperor realm immediately emanated, making the entire scene heavy. Everyone felt immense pressure.
The pressure of a fourth-level Martial Emperor, even if only a trace was released, was extremely powerful.
“Do you want to intervene?” Lin Xiao’s expression also turned somewhat cold.
“I hope young friend will think thrice!” The city lord issued a warning, and the Martial Emperor pressure from his body became even stronger.
No choice, the soft approach did not work on the opponent, so he could only go hard.
“You had better let me go. Otherwise, there is only the path of death!” Hearing Lin Xiao still speaking instead of acting directly, and under the powerful Martial Emperor pressure, Zou Yun was confident Lin Xiao did not dare to act and could not help but threaten Lin Xiao.
“Lin Xiao, your courage has always been this great!” Just at this moment, a somewhat untimely voice came from the crowd.
Immediately after, a black-haired elder walked out from the crowd and said: “When he was at the Shangguan family, in front of our two major spiritual controller families, he used a scheme to poison and kill the seventh-grade initial spiritual controller, Elder Xue Ling of Spirit Phoenix Valley, then relied on his fast speed to escape.”
“What?”
As soon as this black-haired elder’s words came out, everyone was shocked on the spot.
This youth named Lin Xiao had actually killed a seventh-grade initial spiritual controller of Spirit Phoenix Valley in front of everyone?
This was too impressive, right?
Zou Yun’s heart trembled fiercely. If he dared to kill even a seventh-grade initial spiritual controller elder publicly, how could he spare her?
In Zou Yun’s heart, thick fear arose involuntarily, fear of death.
At this moment, she even somewhat regretted why she had provoked this youth.
But how could she have known that this youth already had enmity with their Spirit Phoenix Valley and dared to poison even Elder Xue Ling!
Moreover, he possessed strength even greater than hers.
If she had known earlier, how could she have personally acted against Lin Xiao…
Yu Huai Lu standing to the side was also shocked. Even he, even with means, did not dare to kill people from Spirit Phoenix Valley publicly.
This guy actually dared to kill even an elder? In this region, there was such a bold youth?
The city lord’s brows also furrowed. He originally thought this youth only had conflict with Zou Yun and did not expect prior conflict with Spirit Phoenix Valley, even daring to kill an elder, and having already killed, how could he spare Zou Yun?
“Ouyang family?” Gazing at the suddenly appearing black-haired elder, Lin Xiao was surprised.
This elder, he had seen at the Shangguan family; he was an important elder of the Ouyang family. But how did the Ouyang family know he appeared here, arriving in such a short time?
And appearing in Zong Yan City, not Ling Xi City?
“No matter what abilities you have, with this old man’s speed and means, you definitely cannot escape. I hope young friend will think thrice. If you let Zou Yun go, I can guarantee to let you leave alive and will provide a method for you to leave alive.”
The city lord made another attempt to dissuade him. This was also his dissuasion, holding onto the last shred of hope.
After all, the opponent poisoned the Spirit Phoenix Valley elder relying on speed. If this advantage was gone, perhaps he would have scruples.
“Lin Xiao, you, you cannot kill me. I am not only a disciple of Spirit Phoenix Valley, I am also on good terms with the genius Fu Chan senior sister of Cold Moon Sect. Before, I competed with you for the Yin Lie Snow Weasel spirit core precisely to give it to her. If you kill me, she definitely will not let you go. If Cold Moon Sect acts, you certainly cannot escape.” At this moment, Zou Yun was really afraid and could not help but bring out the senior sister from Cold Moon Sect.
