"Sigh, a grown girl can't be kept at home. Dad objected to you liking this pretty boy, but you can't be like this. "
Damn, after Ximen Ziling slandered them, Ximen Zhi added fuel to the fire. He had basically confirmed that Ximen Baibai and Du Feng were conspiring against his family. The father-daughter duo echoed each other, leaving the guard commander speechless. He knew they were in the wrong, but he didn't know how to refute.
"Clap clap clap …"
Just when everyone was speechless, a burst of applause rang out. Du Feng clapped his hands, applauding the father-daughter duo's performance.
"You're quite eloquent. Let me ask you, did the Demon Repelling City pay for the Apocalypse Cannon?"
Du Feng wasn't in a hurry to confront them, so he asked a question first.
"Yes, I did. I only gave you half. Just because one Apocalypse Cannon was faulty, they detained half of our payment. They're the local bullies, I can't do anything about it. "
Ximen Zhi got excited when he heard this question. Not only did he not admit his mistake, he even said that the Demon Repelling City people were bullying him.
"Are the goods they ordered new or old? How much did they pay for them?"
Du Feng's question caused Ximen Zhi's expression to change. He wondered what was going on, did this kid find out there was a problem with the goods? But the supplier from Southern Heaven Realm said that no one from Eastern Heaven Realm could understand it. Even if there was a problem, it could be said that they didn't operate properly.
"New, of course it's new. How can I sell an old one to them?"
Ximen Zhi calmed himself down, then started to lie shamelessly.
"Very well, since you said it's new, and the city lord paid you the deposit according to the new price, what do we do if they find an old one?"
Since the other party said they were selling a new Apocalypse Cannon, and also admitted to receiving the deposit according to the new price, then this problem was easy to solve.
"What old one? How can there be an old Apocalypse Cannon? Don't think that you can slander me just because you know a little bit about arrays. I've long suspected that there's something wrong with you. "
"Did you have anything to do with the robbery of the Tianchang? Were those robbers your accomplices? Did you take my fourth brother's money?"
Ximen Zhi asked a series of questions, actually pointing the spearhead at Du Feng. It seemed that Ximen Ziling had told him everything that had happened along the way. Many of the surrounding martial artists were confused by his sudden outburst. What's going on? Could it be that because Du Feng wants to blackmail Ximen clan's money, a conflict arose? From the looks of it, it wasn't Ximen Zhi's problem.
The onlookers couldn't tell right from wrong at all. Whoever spoke louder would be the one who was right. Now that Ximen Zhi kept asking questions, he seemed to be in the right.
"Since we're on this topic, let's talk about this."
"Your Ximen Clan colluded with demon cultivators to sell the Heaven Opening Cannon to the Demon Realm. If I hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid that this batch of goods would have already broken through the gates of Demon Repelling City. "
"On the Sky River, if I hadn't helped, this batch of goods wouldn't have reached East Immortal City at all. Shouldn't I take a little reward for my hard work?"
"This batch of goods of yours is all seriously worn out. They've been used no less than hundreds of times. Let me ask you, is the price of second-hand goods the same as new goods? "
"For such a batch of old goods, half a deposit is already too much. I have to ask for a refund."
Ximen Zhi's eloquence was very good, but Du Feng's was even more amazing. His glib tongue rattled through all kinds of things without any pause in between. Even if the other party wanted to interrupt, they couldn't.
"What, the Ximen Clan dares to collude with demon cultivators?"
The guard commander caught the main point. Right now, it was useless to argue with them about the old and new Heaven Opening Cannons. He had to find out the most serious matter first. Right now, the martial artists of Demon Repelling City felt that even if they were old Heaven Opening Cannons, the Ximen Clan had painstakingly transported them over, so they should be paid.
Thus, he didn't continue the topic and directly mentioned the matter of the Ximen Clan colluding with demon cultivators.
"This … this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
"My second and fourth brothers colluded with demon cultivators in order to fight over the family property for me. This has nothing to do with me."
Hearing this, Ximen Zhi panicked and hurriedly distanced himself from his second and fourth brothers.
"Is that so? Didn't you just say that I robbed your fourth brother's money? Since it's the family's traitor's money, why should I return it? "
Hearing Du Feng's words, Ximen Zhi discovered that he had fallen into a trap. Moreover, this was a trap that he had dug beforehand. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have mentioned the matter of the ransom.
"Lord Commander, please believe me. I really didn't collude with demon cultivators. My two women were almost killed by them."
"Du Feng was there, he also knows."
At this moment, Ximen Zhi finally remembered. His two daughters were saved by Du Feng from the hands of the demon cultivators. This batch of goods was also escorted into the city by Du Feng.
"The one with the surname Du, say something."
Ximen Ziling was also anxious and shouted at Du Feng. He clearly saw the two old demon cultivators. Why wasn't he saying anything now?
And Du Feng just looked at the father and daughter with a smile, not in a hurry to speak. The city guards gradually surrounded them. It seemed like they were ready to arrest the human traitor. Ximen Zhi was so scared that cold sweat flowed down his forehead. Ximen Ziling, on the other hand, was very strong-willed. She was clearly only at the Golden Immortal Stage Cultivation Stage, but she was prepared to fight them with her sword.
In her heart, she already hated Du Feng to the core. It was all because of him. Not only did the Ximen Clan not earn any money, but they also fell out with the warriors of the Demon Repelling City. The atmosphere was very tense. A battle was about to break out.
"All of you, stop!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man floated over. He was the Deputy City Lord of the Demon Repelling City. The City Lord had been in seclusion and had not appeared at all. The Deputy City Lord had seen Ximen Zhi before, so he came out to mediate.
After he arrived, he first checked the Apocalypse Cannon according to the method Du Feng had instructed. Then he turned around and stared at Ximen Zhi.
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have brought second-hand goods for money. But things like the Apocalypse Cannon are really not easy to buy. "
Ximen Zhi felt guilty under the Deputy City Lord's stare. He could only confess all the shameful things he had done.
"Even if I brought second-hand goods, even if you want to deduct my money, you can't say that I colluded with the demon cultivators."
Ximen Zhi had already admitted defeat. His second-hand goods were indeed not worth the money. But not getting the money was a small matter. Colluding with the demon cultivators was punishable by death.
"I said someone from the Ximen Clan colluded with the demon cultivators. I didn't say you."
