"I know I'm wrong."
Xiao Shisan also reacted and quickly crawled over to kowtow to Xiao Shenlang. He wanted revenge, but he couldn't rely on himself. Du Feng could even capture a level-ten monster alive. Even his father might not be able to handle him. Only his uncle had the ability to regain his face.
"Stay at home and don't go out during this time."
Xiao Shenlang looked at this good-for-nothing nephew of his. He also felt a lot of helpless. He knew it was his nephew's fault, but he couldn't lose face for the Xiao family. As the deputy city lord, if he couldn't even deal with a small shop owner in Southern City, how could he convince others in the future?
"Looks like I have to leave a few days later."
Originally, Du Feng planned to pack his things and rush to Cloud Capital the day after tomorrow. His plan was to enter the primeval forest first, get some black water from the Black River, and upgrade the bone banner to the feather level. Then, he would kill all the way from the primeval forest to the outside of Cloud Capital. In the process, he could collect the souls of many monsters and upgrade the generals in the bone banner.
But now that Xiao Shisan's matter had happened, Du Feng couldn't leave immediately. If he left, Lin Nujiao's weapon shop would definitely be in trouble. Not only that, but the new shop guarded by Hong Waner would also suffer. It was a small matter that the shop couldn't continue, but he was afraid that even the people would be killed by the Xiao family.
Now, Du Feng only had two ways. One was to destroy the Xiao family, or at least bring down the deputy city lord, Xiao Shenlang. The other was to curry favor with the city lord. In that case, even Xiao Shenlang wouldn't dare to touch them. After all, the city lord's official position was higher than the deputy city lord's, and his background was stronger.
As expected, during this time, people frequently came to the shop to cause trouble. It wasn't that they disliked the poor quality of the weapons, but that there were problems with the defense. Some people found fault with the formation plates, talismans, and so on. In short, as long as someone caused trouble, the city lord's mansion would come to investigate.
In the end, although they were all settled by Du Feng, this seriously affected the normal operation of the shop, causing the business to plummet.
"Brother Du, this can't go on."
Before Du Feng could speak, Old Cheng, the captain of the city defense team, was anxious. He had a large stake in Du Feng's shop, and the decline in sales affected his net income. The salary of the City Defense Commander was not high in the first place. It was all due to the extra income brought by Du Feng that he was able to live a comfortable life during this period of time. His Cultivation had also improved.
Seeing that he could no longer live a good life, Old Cheng was naturally very anxious. He took the initiative to visit Du Feng to discuss a countermeasure. Sure enough, the two of them had the same idea. There were only two methods. Get rid of the people from the Xiao Family, or pull the City Lord in as well.
It was not that easy to kill the people of the Xiao Family, especially Xiao Shenlang's Ascendant Realm Fifth Level Cultivation was better than Old Cheng. Old Cheng earned money from Du Feng during this period of time. He managed to raise his Cultivation to the Ascendant Realm Third Level Late-stage, but his strength was still a little worse than Xiao Shenlang. Even with Du Feng's help, it would not be so easy to kill Xiao Shenlang.
What's more, he still had the position of Deputy City Lord. It was almost impossible to kill the Deputy City Lord in Southern City. As long as a little news was leaked, Old Cheng and Du Feng would not be able to escape.
Another way was to cling to the City Lord's thigh. But the benefits of the two shops in front of him were not enough to move the dignified City Lord. To be able to become the City Lord of a big city like Southern City, he must have a backer in Cloud Capital. Southern City was different from cities like Ghost Valley City. It was a comprehensive city. There were also a lot of big families stationed there. Without some background, it would be impossible to shake them.
Du Feng thought about it and decided to take the risk and kill Xiao Shenlang. But if he wanted to kill him, he had to make a careful plan. Since breaking through to the Ascendant Realm, he had not practiced the Nine Revolutions Golden Dragon Body and Phoenix Wings Heaven Ascension. In particular, the Nine Revolutions Golden Dragon Body was very important because it affected the strength and endurance of the body.
If he wanted to get the black water from the Black River, strength was a key factor. Last time, when Du Feng was still a Powang Realm martial artist, he used a flying knife to test the suction of the Black River. Of course, he did not use all his strength and threw the flying knife a tenth of the distance. If he used all his strength, it would be at most 20%. Therefore, the closer to the center of the Black River, the stronger the suction. The specific strength needed to be tested on the spot to know.
First of all, he had to trouble Old Cheng to walk around the shop more, in case Lin Nujiao, Hong Waner, and the others could not withstand the pressure from the City Lord's Mansion.
As expected, as soon as Du Feng left the city, he was followed. Of course, it was not Xiao Shenlang himself who was following him, but his right-hand man. Knowing that he was being followed, Du Feng was not in a hurry to expose the other party. Instead, he strolled to the Black River.
As usual, he paid the toll first. After crossing the wooden bridge, he used his movement technique and suddenly disappeared from the woods. The people sent by Xiao Shenlang wandered around for a long time but did not find the target, so they had to leave dejectedly.
"Hmph, it won't be so easy next time."
This time, in order to get the water in the Black River, Du Feng used his movement technique to get rid of the other party. If he was followed again, he would definitely lead him to the depths of the forest and kill him.
Du Feng summoned the tenth-level pterosaur spiritual pet and let it stand in the forest. He tied a strong chain to his leg and then wrapped a lot of black spider silk. He tied it to his waist and then stood on the shore. He tried to extend a dragon tendon into the Black River.
"Creak, creak …"
The suction of the Black River was really strong, and it made the dragon tendon creak. It had to be known that this dragon tendon was pulled from the body of a giant dragon by Du Feng. It was very tough and ductile. It would not break even if it was stretched very long. But even so, it still could not withstand the pull of the Black River. Watching the dragon tendon being pulled closer to the river, Du Feng could not pull it out no matter how hard he tried. His hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.
Most of the dragon tendon was pulled into the Black River, leaving only a small part in Du Feng's hand. He tried his best to pull the dragon tendon back. Because that way, not only could he recover the loss, but he might also get some black water. However, things were not as simple as he thought. The dragon tendon seemed to grow in the river and could not be pulled up no matter how hard he tried. Instead, it pulled Du Feng closer to the river.
