Xiao Chen could not help but find it funny that the City Lord's Mansion had come after the Wu Clan was destroyed.
Xiao Chen had heard a little about the City Lord's Mansion of Fire Phoenix City from Li Qi. It was the true master of Fire Phoenix City. All along, the City Lord's Mansion of Fire Phoenix City had been held by the Shen Clan. It could be said that they were the true overlords of Fire Phoenix City.
As for the Wu Clan and the Li Clan, they were merely following behind the City Lord's Mansion to beg for a living.
All along, the Heavenly Saint Sect was located in the Tai Shen Continent and was the only quasi-sage sect on the Tai Shen Continent. Therefore, the Shen Clan had always occupied a dominant position in the Tai Shen Continent. Fire Phoenix City was no exception.
Xiao Chen smiled when he heard that the City Lord's Mansion was coming to capture Wu Yunfeng's murderer. Xiao Sheng also said indifferently, "It seems that the City Lord's Mansion and the Wu Clan have some relationship."
The City Lord's Mansion's sudden action was clearly because of the Wu Clan. There was probably some unknown relationship between the two parties. Xiao Chen smiled when he heard Xiao Sheng's words.
"Isn't this exactly what the Old Ancestor wants? We can use the City Lord's Mansion to raise the prestige of our Sacred Palace."
The group had gone to the Tai Shen Continent for two reasons. On one hand, it was to gain experience and see the outside world. However, more importantly, it was to make a name for themselves.
The Sacred Palace had just been established. Compared to the other six quasi-sage sects, its reputation was definitely lacking. Since they wanted to establish themselves in the North Star Domain, the Sacred Palace naturally had to compete with the other six quasi-sage sects. As such, reputation was very important.
Therefore, dealing with the Fallen River Saint Sect was just to let the world know of the existence of the Sacred Palace and to show off the strength of the Sacred Palace.
Xiao Sheng smiled when he heard Xiao Chen's words. He then stood up and said, "You always have a lot of ideas. Let's go. I'll accompany you."
After jokingly scolding Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen took the lead and walked towards the main hall of the front yard. Li Qi, who was at the side, was a little confused. He wanted to remind Xiao Chen that the Castellan Mansion was different from the Wu Family. Both sides could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Although Fire Phoenix City's City Lord Manor did not have any Saints, with only a half-Saint presiding over it, unlike the Wu family, the City Lord Manor was controlled by the Shen clan.
The Ghost Clan's backer, the Night Ghost Pavilion, was located far away from the Tai Shen Continent. Therefore, the Ghost Clan was unable to reach the Tai Shen Continent. However, the God Clan was completely different. The Tai Shen Continent was the headquarters of the Supreme God Sect. If anyone dared to attack the God Clan here, they would be courting death.
In Li Qi's opinion, Xiao Chen and the others might not be afraid of a Saint Sect like the Heavenly Ghost Sect due to their own strength. However, a quasi-Saint Sect like the Supreme God Sect was definitely not to be offended. Otherwise, one could imagine the consequences.
He wanted to remind Xiao Chen that he could not treat the City Lord Manor the way he treated the Wu family. However, Xiao Chen completely ignored him. Accompanied by Qin Shuirou and the other two girls, Xiao Chen followed Xiao Sheng out of the courtyard.
Only Xiao Chen, Xiao Sheng, and Qin Shuirou went to the main hall to meet the people from the City Lord Manor. As for Chen Ling, Long Qing, Mengjie, and the others from the Sacred Palace, they remained in the backyard, completely ignoring the arrival of the City Lord Manor.
Xiao Chen arrived at the main hall in the front yard indifferently. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw four people from the Divine Race sitting in the main hall. One of them was sitting on the main seat. Judging from his attire, he should be the leader this time.
Xiao Chen's guess was right. The Divine Race person sitting on the main seat was the City Lord of Fire Phoenix City. He was also the only Sage-to-be expert in Fire Phoenix City.
Seeing Xiao Chen and the others walk over, the City Lord said expressionlessly, "Are you the humans who killed the Wu family's head, Wu Yunfeng?"
"That's right." Xiao Chen nodded.
He did not even have the intention to explain. Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, a cold glint flashed across the eyes of the City Lord on the main seat. He then shouted in a deep voice, "Take them down."
Following the city lord's words, the other three Protoss were about to make their move. At this time, Li Qi, who had been chasing after Xiao Chen and the others, rushed into the main hall and directly knelt in front of the city lord. He said respectfully, "Sir, please forgive me.
"City Lord, please calm down. This incident with the Wu family is a personal grudge between our families. It has nothing to do with Young Master Xiao and the others. I … I'm willing to compensate. Yes, compensate the City Lord's Mansion."
The City Lord's Mansion had come here to capture Wu Yunfeng's murderer. However, the truth was that they wanted to reap some benefits. The Li family had annexed the Wu family. How could they not give up some benefits?
The City Lord's Mansion had long been used to taking things by force. Li Qi was also used to such things. Therefore, he went straight to the point and was willing to give up some benefits to the City Lord's Mansion.
As expected, after hearing Li Qi's words, the City Lord's expression eased a little. In fact, he did not care about Wu Yunfeng's death. He only cared about how much benefits the City Lord's Mansion could get.
His expression eased. However, before he could say anything, a cold voice came from Xiao Chen's mouth.
"It's not impossible for you to get benefits. However, I don't know if you have the ability to take them."
The situation, which had already calmed down, became tense again as soon as Xiao Chen said that. The City Lord was even furious. "How dare you! Take them down!"
Xiao Chen's words completely enraged the City Lord. Li Qi's expression changed drastically. He was extremely anxious.
The City Lord's Mansion was not the Wu family. They could not fight recklessly. If the Wu family had the support of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, then the City Lord's Mansion would have the support of the Supreme Sect. Furthermore, the Supreme Sect's base was in the Taishen Continent. They did not want to be out of reach like the Night Ghost Pavilion.
He wanted to salvage the situation, but the City Lord did not give Li Qi any chance. He immediately ordered his men to take down Xiao Chen and the others.
However, at this moment, Xiao Sheng, who was standing beside Xiao Chen, slowly stepped forward and said with an extremely cold expression.
"You don't even have the right to stand in front of me. If you want to take me down, even Supreme Sovereign Adon of the Supreme Sect won't be enough. Kneel down."
Xiao Sheng's voice was indifferent. When he heard Xiao Sheng say Adon's name, the City Lord was completely exposed.
He naturally knew who Adon was. Adon was one of the three quasi-Saint Supreme Sovereigns of the Supreme Sect. He had never even seen him before, but now this human called him by his name. Instantly, the City Lord swore to himself that he would make Xiao Sheng and the others suffer a fate worse than death for daring to insult a quasi-Saint Supreme Sovereign of the Supreme Sect.
However, the City Lord's anger only lasted for a moment. As soon as Xiao Sheng finished speaking, a terrifying pressure surged from his body. In the face of this pressure, the City Lord and the other three God Clan members could not resist at all. With a plop, the four of them knelt down in front of Xiao Sheng.
