Chapter 350: City Lord Mansion
"The Dragon Immortal Sect is really something. How can it allow such a family to grow and expand within its sphere of influence? What is more, this Bai Family is actually a.s.sociated with the Snow Cold Palace."
Ye Xiao frowned and said as he rubbed his chin. Logically speaking, a sect would never allow other power to have subordinates within their sphere of influence.
This Bai Family had already been sucking up to the Snow Cold Palace for dozens of years. With the help of the Snow Cold Palace, the Bai Family expanded step by step, causing the living s.p.a.ces of the other two great families to become increasingly small.
"Forget it, this is something that the elders in Dragon Immortal Sect and Sect Master need to worry about. Why should I worry about it?" Ye Xiao thought in his heart.
After a while, Ye Xiao stopped in front of a luxurious hotel. He then handed the horse to the waiter and went upstairs.
When Ye Xiao went upstairs. After Ye Xiao went up, a few ordinary-looking figures appeared outside of the hotel. These people were the people who were following him. They looked at each other and saw the sneers in each other"s eyes. Then they separated quickly and flew in different directions.
The Blue Wind City consisted of three great families: the Bai Family, the Mo Family, and the Mu Family. The Bai Family was the most powerful one and the strength of the Mo Family and the Mu Family was ranked second and third. The two families were barely able to contend against the Bai Family.
And within the Blue Wind City, there was another powerful force other than the three great families. Even though there were not too many people within this force, the three great families still did not dare to rashly offend them. This power was the City Lord"s Mansion. The city lord"s surname was Feng.
The City Lord"s Mansion of the Blue Wind City was located in the southern part of the Blue Wind City which was the most peaceful area in the entire Blue Wind City.
Standing at the entrance of the City Lord"s Mansion were a dozen or so soldiers dressed in shiny armor. Golden th.o.r.n.y flowers were embroidered on their chests which were badges belonging to the City Lord Mansion. The auras of these dozens of soldiers were deep and vigorous and they were all at the Late Stage of the Immortal Foundation Realm or the Early Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm.
In the middle of these soldiers was a middle-aged man in a simple robe. His temples were a little white and he had a smile on his face. However, one could see the imposing aura on that angular face. That was the dignity of someone in a position of power. This middle-aged man was the City Lord of Blue Wind City, Feng Wuji.
"Daddy, I"m back."
A charming voice came from the front. A twelve to thirteen years old girl ran to Feng Wuji"s side and said while smiling.
"You still know to come back? Next time if you sneak out, I"ll lock you in the small dark room." Feng Wuji hugged the little girl and said with a smile.
"Got it." The little girl pouted and said sweetly.
"Master!" A beautiful middle-aged woman came forward and bowed respectfully. Her eyes that were fixated on Feng Wuji were filled with gentleness.
Feng Wuji sighed. How could he not know the love of this beautiful woman in front of him? That tenderness could melt even a man of iron blood. However, he could not do it because of the rules of his family.
"Father, Aunt Xuan and I met a very interesting person today." The little girl whispered into Feng Wuji"s ear.
"Oh? What is so interesting? Tell me about it. " Feng Wuji smiled. In his opinion, the only people who could make this little girl feel interested were those wandering poets or jugglers.
The girl kept chattering non-stop about what she saw at the city gate.
"Oh? There"s actually someone who dares to touch someone from the Bai Family? "
A strange look flashed across Feng Wuji"s eyes as he looked at Su Xuan.
"Yes, to be exact, he actually killed the grandson of the Bai Family"s Fourth Elder, Bai Shan, and also severely injured several other disciples of the Bai Family." Su Xuan, the beautiful middle-aged woman said in a serious tone.
In the Blue Wind City, Bai Family could be said to be the strongest power and even Feng Wuji didn"t want to offend them.
"These few years, the Bai Family have been rather unrestrained to the point where they no longer put me, the city lord, in their eyes. It is a good thing that there is someone who can suppress their arrogance." Feng Wuji chuckled.
"That youth"s ident.i.ty should not be simple. His strength is also not weak. Although I was unable to see through his cultivation base, I guess that he is at least at the Late Stage of the Immortal Foundation Realm." Su Xuan frowned as she looked at Feng Wuji.
"What an interesting fellow." Then, Feng Wuji said to the dozen or so prefectural soldiers: "Send someone to investigate the ident.i.ty of that young man. Anyone who dares to kill Bai Family must have an extraordinary ident.i.ty."
At the same time, in a very large manor located to the east of Blue Wind City, a group of people looked at Bai Shan whose green body was stiff and lifeless. One of the old man"s eyes was bloodshot as if he wanted to eat someone.
"Investigate and find out where that little b.a.s.t.a.r.d who dared to kill my grandson is. No matter who he is, I will personally kill him." The old man roared.
The surrounding people were completely silent. This was the fourth elder of the Bai Family and his status was extremely high. His own grandson was killed by someone because of which he was in a rage. As for the few Bai Family disciples, their faces turned even more ashen from fright because they clearly knew what would happen to them. The furious Fourth Elder would vent his anger on them.
"You bunch of trash." The fourth elder of the Bai Family roared. With a wave of his hand, an extremely dense amount of spirit energy gushed out, striking the bodies of the five people in front of him. As if they had received a heavy blow, the five people were sent flying, falling to the ground and spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.
The five people"s faces were ashen. Just now, the Fourth Elder"s attack had crippled their cultivation.
Next to the fourth elder, a beautiful girl was standing whose eyes were emitting fire. Her eyes were red because of anger. She was Hong Yu. The Fourth Elder in front of her was a true expert with a high status in the Bai Family, and he was also one of the top experts in her family.
Although she was a genius of the Bai Family, she had not reached the level where she could disobey an elder"s orders.
"Do you know who killed my grandson?" The Fourth Elder"s ice-cold gaze was fixated on the disciples of the Bai Family who had lost their cultivations.
"No! I don"t know." A few of them said in a somewhat soulless manner.
One could imagine the outcome of becoming a cripple. Their entire family would no longer have a place for them to stand at and their status would be lower than those servants.
"Trash, you are all a bunch of trashes." Even now, the fourth elder did not know who the other party was. How could he not be angry when his grandson died just like that?
"Go and investigate. I want to know who that brat is." The fourth elder said to the guards beside him.
"Yes."
Those few people nodded and quickly left.
As for Ye Xiao, he was currently drinking some wine and eating some food at the Floating Fragrance Restaurant in the Blue Wind City. He had no idea that the threat of death was slowly approaching him.
What Ye Xiao did today at the city gate of the Blue Wind City had already spread throughout the City.
"Have you heard? Bai Shan, the grandson of the Bai Family"s Fourth Elder, was killed at the city gate."
"Hehe, this news should have already spread throughout the entire Blue Wind City, you don"t even need to say it. Right now, Bai Family is like the sun in the sky and no one dares to offend him. This person, who knows where he came from is actually so bold that he dares to kill the descendants of Bai Family."
"I heard that the person who killed Bai Shan was a teenager!"
"Hiss!"
The surrounding people all sucked in a breath of cold air and with an expression of disbelief, one of them said, "Is that true or false, I heard that Bai Shan is currently a Martial Artist at the Late Stage of the Immortal Foundation Realm. That youth who killed him, just how strong is his power?"
