Chapter 20 - Eight Desolate City Lord

Ye Yang was already prepared to face the grey-robed elder head on and suffer heavy injuries. He knew that he would definitely die. As for the golden hairpin in his hand, he wasn't sure if it could pierce through his eyeballs and land it in his brain.

Suddenly, he felt his body lighten and his arm tighten. He realized that he had been grabbed by a big hand, and his body immediately floated up into the air.

Everyone looked up into the sky and saw a tall man holding onto Ye Yang with one hand. A pair of ten-foot-long, pale white wings were slowly swaying behind him.

"Oh my god, it's actually expert Wu Wang!"

"How come even Wu Wang's expert is involved?"

Today's battle had already far surpassed their imagination. Warriors, Battlemaster, and generals appeared one after another, and at this moment, they were so shocked that they were unable to breathe.

Now, it was even more exaggerated that a Wu Wang appeared. A pair of wings made of True Qi was the symbol of Wu Wang, and everyone recognized it.

Seeing that someone had used a helping hand to save Ye Yang, Ye Lingtian hurriedly went forward to Xing Lidao and said, "Thank you, City Lord, for saving my son!"

"Hahaha, Brother Ye is too polite!" That person folded his wings and slowly landed on the ground. He let go of Ye Yang and patted him on the shoulder, "Ye family tiger, your heroic spirit will soar to the heavens. Your Ye family will soar to great heights in the future!"

He turned to the grey-robed elder and said coldly, "A general would actually try to kill someone who isn't even a martial artist. I really don't know what your face is made of …"

"Tsk!" Li Chengfeng said with disdain, "You dare to threaten me with a dog that's running errands? "Don't think that I don't know who your backer is. Even if your master comes personally, he has to treat me with respect. Who do you think you are?"

"You … You dare to say such rude words? I think you're a traitor. Aren't you afraid of a calamity approaching one day?" the grey-robed elder asked.

Li Chengfeng said indifferently, "I don't know if a great calamity is about to befall me, but a great calamity is about to befall you. Coming to the Eight Desolate City, to actually kill people in my jurisdiction, are you looking down on me? "If I don't kill you, how will I manage the wastelands?"

Li Chengfeng walked towards the grey robed elder step by step. With every step he took, the aura on his body grew stronger. When he arrived in front of the grey robed elder, all the warriors below the stage found it hard to breathe.

Everyone looked at Li Chengfeng and their hearts were filled with reverence and respect. No matter where the expert was, they would be worthy of their respect, except for the grey robed elder.

At this time, the grey robed elder facing Li Chengfeng was trying his best to circulate the energy in his entire body to resist Li Chengfeng's aura. It was as if his body was being suppressed by a mountain, and sweat was continuously dripping down.

He slowly raised his hand and spoke to the gray-robed elder, "For your master's sake, I will not kill you today. However, I will cripple your cultivation as punishment."

Fear appeared on the face of the gray-robed elder. If his true qi was crippled, he would become a waste. Then, he would no longer have any value in using it and would be ruthlessly abandoned.

He had been doing things for many years and had provoked countless enemies. If he lost his backer, he would immediately die.

He wanted to open his mouth to plead for mercy, but his entire body was suppressed by Li Chengfeng's Qi, if he opened his mouth and his Qi leaked out, he would be suppressed to the point of exploding and dying.

Just as Li Chengfeng was about to cripple the grey robed elder's cultivation, a voice suddenly spoke out, "City Lord, please wait!"

Everyone was startled, and saw that the one who stopped Li Chengfeng was Ye Yang.

Ye Lingtian frowned and berated Ye Yang, "Yang'er, don't be unreasonable to the mayor!"

As the Eight Desolate City's City Lord, Li Chengfeng had a very high position. Ye Yang interjected, afraid that it would cause Li Chengfeng to feel disgusted, and quickly reprimanded Ye Yang.

Ye Lingtian cupped his fists at Li Chengfeng and said, "My apologies for being ignorant and offending the City Lord, please forgive me."

Li Chengfeng laughed, "Brother Ye need not be so courteous, I think highly of your son and want to hear what he has to say," With that, he turned around and looked at Ye Yang.

Hearing Li Chengfeng's words, Ye Lingtian did not know what to say. He signalled to Ye Yang with his eyes, telling him to be careful not to speak and not to offend the person in front of him.

Ye Yang smiled in a carefree manner and said, "This brat's life was saved by the City Lord. It can be said that this person is my enemy, but I hope that the City Lord can fulfill this nephew's little wish."

"Hehe, feel free to speak. I will do my best to satisfy you. Other than that, there's no need for you to be called Lord City Master or Lord City Master. Listening to you makes people feel uncomfortable, just call me Uncle Li in the future, "Li Chengfeng said.

To be able to catch the eyes of the mayor, this was a huge fortune. Forget about other things, just being surrounded by a Wu Wang class expert was enough to make one lose in Eight Desolate City.

However, Ye Yang wasn't overly surprised, he only politely said, "Then I'll have to thank Uncle Li for his kindness. This nephew hopes uncle can let him off today."

Hearing Ye Yang's words, everyone was shocked. Did this Ye Yang go stupid? He obviously has such a good opportunity to take revenge, but he's pleading for the enemy on the other hand?

Li Chengfeng was also startled, he frowned: "This man is shameless and despicable, he wants to kill you time and time again, are you really going to let him go?"

Ye Yang nodded and said, "I, Ye Yang, will remember this grudge. Today, I made uncle let him go so that I could personally take his dog life in the future."

Hearing Ye Yang's words, Li Chengfeng laughed loudly and praised him, "Good, as expected of someone I like. He's already so bold at such a young age. So what if I let him go today?"

After speaking, he withdrew his aura and the old man in grey fell limply to the ground. He had been struggling to hold on all this time and was at the end of his life. If he was a little later, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on.

"Thank you, Uncle Li!" Ye Yang bowed towards Li Chengfeng, then walked in front of the grey-robed elder and said, "I know you're just a dog, so I won't waste my words with you. I'll go back and tell your master, tell him what happened today, and I, Ye Yang, will remember it."

Ignoring the ugly expression of the gray-robed old man on the ground, he continued, "I, Ye Yang, am not a gentleman. I've never thought of being a gentleman. I will take off the head of anyone who wants my life. Go back and tell him to wash his neck and wait for me. I won't let him wait for too long."

"Finished?" The gray-robed elder said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Ye Yang nodded.

"You didn't kill me just to give me a message?" The gray-robed elder found it hard to believe.

"That's right, your value is only in saying those words." Ye Yang said indifferently.

An insult, a naked insult. To think that a general level expert's life was just a word, there was nothing more humiliating than this.

"Are you not afraid of my revenge?" The gray-robed elder said in a gloomy voice.

"Revenge?" No! I won't give you a chance to take revenge. "You guys don't have time to take revenge, because you'll be busy because of me. You won't be able to eat and sleep well, and today's situation will never happen again." Ye Yang stared coldly at the grey-robed elder.

"Alright, I've said what needs to be said. You can scram now." Ye Yang waved his hand, and looked as if he was driving away a disgusting dog.

The gray-robed elder clenched his teeth, stood up, and carefully looked at Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng coldly snorted, "The men that our Eight Desolate City has sent are all indomitable men, they are not villains who bully the weak and fear the strong. Since I said that I will spare your dog life, you can boldly and confidently scram."

Although Li Chengfeng's words contained ridicule, the grey robed elder felt relieved. After all, being able to live was a good thing.

He cupped his fists at Li Chengfeng, turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Li Chengfeng glanced at Zhao Yongsheng who was hiding behind the crowd and said, "Why is Patriarch Zhao free to visit the Ye Family today?"

Zhao Yongsheng immediately broke out in a cold sweat and ran over to Li Chengfeng in a hurry, "Haha, it was all a misunderstanding. I was deceived by the Great Clan Elder of his family.

When the Great Clan Elder heard this, he immediately became angry. "Zhao Yongsheng, you were the one who seduced me and promised me all sorts of benefits. Why did you turn hostile and not admit it?"

Zhao Yongsheng acted as if he did not know who you were, and said indifferently: "Great Clan Elder, you can eat whatever you want, but don't say whatever you want. If you have any evidence, say that I seduced you, and don't spray blood."

"You!" The Great Elder's anger was not light. However, they were all doing shady business. They were all secretly discussing, so how could there be evidence?

Zhao Yongsheng hurriedly said to Ye Lingtian. "I am truly sorry for disturbing your esteemed palace today, but I will definitely deliver a generous gift another day to apologize to Brother Ye. I will take my leave first."

Under the disdainful gaze of the Ye Family members, Zhao Yongsheng left with his face covered in dirt.

Seeing that Zhao Yongsheng had left, the scene became a mess, so Li Chengfeng said to Ye Lingtian, "Your family still has many matters to take care of today, I will not stay for long, if you have time you can bring your son to my house as a guest."

Seeing that it was indeed not suitable to keep a guest at the moment, Li Chengfeng apologized and personally sent Li Chengfeng out of the main entrance, promising to pay a visit to his family later on.

When he returned to the manor, the First Elder already knew that the situation was no longer as he did not resist and waited to be captured.

Ye Lingtian announced that he would imprison all the traitors today and deal with them tomorrow.

Ye Yang was also injured today and was being protected by dozens of people. When he returned to his room, he even gave the best spiritual medicine in his family to Ye Yang.

Ye Lingtian even checked Ye Yang's entire body once over to confirm that there were no major injuries before leaving. He was secretly surprised that the consecutive battles Ye Yang had fought today were actually just superficial injuries. Even in the end, when he met the gray-robed elder's attack head on, his internal organs were only slightly shaken.

He never thought that Ye Yang's body would be so strong. While he was shocked, he was also secretly happy.
