The various Family Heads sincerely wanted to pay for Du Feng, but he truly did not lack that bit of money. After all, he was a Perfected Golden Immortal martial artist who had traveled extensively for so many years and entered many mystic realms. He was still a little hungry for money.
Originally, Du Feng did not intend to buy this Apocalyptic Cannon, but Ximen Zhi's words made him think of it. He originally wanted the Apocalyptic Cannon, but a good one was not easy to buy. Now that Ximen Zhi was forcing him to pay for this broken Apocalyptic Cannon, he might as well take the opportunity to buy it.
As long as he bought it, it would belong to him, and he could study it. Even if he could not fix it, he could study the spirit runes on it.
"Brother Du, don't be impulsive."
The guard commander felt that Du Feng was being impulsive. After all, a Apocalyptic Cannon was not cheap, especially a Tier 2 Apocalyptic Cannon. Furthermore, this Tier 2 Apocalyptic Cannon was broken to begin with. The City Lord Manor should deduct a portion of the payment. How could he let Brother Du bear this loss?
"Alright, you're the one who said it."
Ximen Zhi was elated when he heard that. He had been worried that the City Lord Manor would not pay for this Apocalyptic Cannon. If that was the case, their Ximen family would lose a lot of money. Now that Du Feng had bought the broken Revelation Cannon, the City Lord's Mansion should settle the rest of the payment for the goods.
"That's right, I said it. This young master has plenty of money."
Previously, Ximen Zhi had really underestimated Du Feng, thinking that he was a lone cultivator. Although he could fight, he could not compare to a family's power. Unexpectedly, Du Feng casually took out a crystal card from a merchant association. This card was used to store Immortal Stones. With this card, one could go to a merchant association to cash in.
"You don't need to pay. Just deduct it from your account."
Just as Du Feng was about to pay, the guard commander stopped him. He thought that he had killed many demonic beasts previously, and the City Lord Manor would pay him according to the grade and number of demonic beasts killed. Moreover, Du Feng had also helped the patriarchs of the family kill the demonic beasts, and that sum of money was also recorded in the account book.
Thus, Du Feng could just take the Type 2 Heaven Opening Cannon and use it to offset the cost. Even if he didn't have enough money, he could make up for it by killing some large demonic beasts.
"Uh …" Ximen Zhi felt depressed when he heard this. His original plan was to swindle some money from Du Feng first. This was because the City Lord's Mansion had only paid half of the money, and the remaining half would probably only be paid after the battle. Now that the city was surrounded by demonic beasts, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
"Thank you very much!"
Du Feng cupped his hands and thanked the guard commander. He knew that the other party was doing this for his own good. Just like that, the damaged Tier 2 Heavenly Opening Cannon was now his personal property. Since that was the case, there was no need to stand on ceremony.
Du Feng removed the Apocalypse Cannon from the mount and reached his hand into the barrel. Ximen Zhi was about to say that he shouldn't damage it, but he realized that it was already his. He really didn't expect a poor kid like him to have so many people supporting him.
"Dad, go back to the house quickly."
Whitey Ximen urged her sister to bring her dad into the City Lord's Mansion to hide, because many people were looking at him with ill intent. As for her, she decided to fight the demonic beasts with the heroic female martial artist outside. Her own father was a coward, and she couldn't possibly hide in the house with him.
"Be careful!"
Ximen Ziling was quite smart, and quickly brought Ximen Zhi into the City Lord's Mansion to hide. As expected, they didn't come out after entering. The situation outside was extremely grim, and no one knew how long they could last. Not only was the City Lord's Mansion secure, but they could also use the Teleportation Formation to escape if they really couldn't hold on.
At this life and death juncture, Ximen Ziling couldn't care about her sister anymore. As long as that heroic female martial artist was still alive, she would already be kicked out of the Ximen family.
"Sorry, my dad, he …"
After Ximen Ziling and Ximen Zhi left, Whitey Ximen finally relaxed a little. She planned to explain to Du Feng.
"Shh!"
Before she could finish, Du Feng made a shushing gesture. He was currently researching the Apocalypse Cannon and didn't want to be disturbed. In order to have a better research environment, the guards gave him a watchtower.
Du Feng casually set up an array, isolating everyone outside, including Whitey Ximen. Then, he buried his head in researching the Apocalypse Cannon. Seeing this, Whitey Ximen could only retreat.
There was nothing wrong with the exterior of the Apocalypse Cannon, but after touching it with his hands and using his divine sense, Du Feng finally determined that the problem was inside. The internal mechanism wasn't broken, but the inscription patterns inside the cannon barrel were more seriously worn.
That's right, this was obviously a second-hand Apocalypse Cannon that someone had used before.
Du Feng believed that most of the Apocalypse Cannons currently in use were second-hand goods. It was just that the degree of wear and tear was different, and it just so happened that it wasn't broken.
This Ximen Zhi was indeed an unscrupulous businessman. In order to earn money, he got a batch of second-hand goods to sell. The exterior of the Apocalypse Cannon didn't wear and tear, so people who didn't know the ropes wouldn't be able to see through it. The difference in price between the new and the old would be at least half.
However, considering that Demon Repelling City couldn't get their hands on the Apocalypse Cannon, Du Feng didn't say anything. Instead, he quietly studied the inscription patterns inside the cannon barrel. Actually, the basic patterns were still there, just that they had been worn down a little. There was a place where the pattern had been worn down too harshly, causing the pattern to break.
Because this pattern was broken, the Apocalypse Cannon couldn't gather elemental energy. Unable to gather elemental energy meant that it couldn't fire an elemental energy bullet.
So it was like this. Luckily, Du Feng had the experience of Inscription Spirit. If it was someone else, even if they discovered the wear and tear, they wouldn't be able to determine the direction of the pattern.
Du Feng didn't hurry to repair it. Instead, he stopped and walked out of the watchtower before heading to another watchtower. He wasn't going to change locations, but to borrow another Apocalypse Cannon from the city's guards. He wanted to take a look at the pattern inside and see if his plan was correct.
If Ximen Zhi was here, he would definitely say that he couldn't afford to pay for it. Fortunately, he was currently holed up in the City Lord's Mansion and didn't dare to come out. Therefore, no one stopped Du Feng from doing this. He used his Divine Sense to probe the cannon barrel and quickly understood the correct pattern.
"Many thanks!"
Du Feng returned to his watchtower and began to repair the Apocalypse Cannon. This time, Old Zhao's Spirit Inscription Needle was finally able to play its role. His nimble fingers pinched the Spirit Inscription Needle and carved the pattern inside the cannon barrel.
