"No more, no more. Boss Du's warbeast is so outstanding. I will pay 200,000 blue crystals to show my respect."
This Boss Qian of the inner city was indeed a veteran businessman. He knew how to talk. He didn't mention that he was afraid his warbeast would be eaten. Instead, he mentioned that Du Feng's warbeast was so outstanding that he would be embarrassed if he didn't pay.
"So what if the warbeast is good. Cultivation is the foundation."
Old Sixth Lin wasn't convinced and was dismissive of Boss Qian's actions. As a Void Sea Realm martial artist, he had to lower himself to an Origin Realm junior. How shameless. Du Feng's warbeast was indeed fierce, but he couldn't always use it to fight alone. Martial artists competed in terms of overall strength, especially their own cultivation.
Many times, a martial artist would be killed before they could summon their warbeast. No matter how strong an Origin Realm martial artist's warbeast was, their overall combat strength couldn't compare to a Void Sea Realm martial artist. Hence, Old Sixth Lin couldn't understand Boss Qian's actions.
But Boss Qian didn't think so. Old Grandfather Wu and Xie Haikun had promised to testify for Du Feng. If he were to engage in a beast battle with him, he would definitely lose. Anything that could be settled with money wasn't a problem. He even had a new idea, which was to use money to rope in Du Feng. As for the Qian Clan's junior that died in the outer city, so be it. He was trash anyway.
"How can two hundred thousand blue crystals be enough to show our respect? At least three hundred thousand."
Du Feng was determined to win Boss Qian. Knowing that Boss Qian didn't dare to participate and didn't want to offend Old Grandfather Wu and Xie Haikun, Boss Qian added another 100,000. Three hundred thousand blue crystals was enough to buy three houses like the Du Residence.
"400,000. This Qian is quite sincere."
Boss Qian was indeed a businessman. Since he wanted to build a relationship with Du Feng, he might as well spend more. Their Qian Clan's aptitude was average, and it wasn't easy to produce an expert. Right now, they had to rely on the guest retainers to maintain their reputation. Those Void Sea Realm guest retainers weren't cheap. If they could build a good relationship with Du Feng and invite him to be a guest elder after he advanced to the Void Sea Realm, the Qian Clan's influence in the inner city would be even greater.
"Boss Qian, aren't you afraid of offending the Gu family?"
Seeing how Boss Qian was fawning over Du Feng, Old Sixth Lin specially reminded him. Don't forget that Gu You was killed by Du Feng, the hidden Gu family still hates him. It's fine if you don't help arrest him, but you're actually giving money to Du Feng? With these 400,000 Blue Crystals, the Cultivation Realm would definitely increase exponentially for someone with his insane aptitude. In the future, the elders would not be able to make a living anymore.
"I have never offended the Gu Clan. Tomorrow, I will send a big gift over."
Boss Qian's ultimate move was to throw money. If he gave Du Feng 400,000 yuan, he might offend the Gu family. Don't worry, I'll send someone to deliver five hundred thousand blue crystals to the Gu Clan tomorrow. Then, the world will naturally be at peace. The Gu Clan will definitely be heartbroken if Gu You died, but Gu You wasn't killed by me. Sending five hundred thousand blue crystals over should be enough.
To put it bluntly, Boss Qian was betting on both sides. If Du Feng died in the hands of the Gu Clan, then his four hundred thousand blue crystals would be wasted and he would continue to fawn over the Gu Clan. However, if Du Feng didn't die and successfully grew up, not only would he have to give four hundred thousand blue crystals, but he would also have to invest even more money. A young man who could contend with the hidden family would have a limitless future.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Boss Qian. If there's nothing else, I will be returning to my residence to rest."
As expected, Du Feng didn't request to have a beast fight with Boss Qian anymore. Instead, he kept the four hundred thousand blue crystals. This wasn't a small amount, and it could be used to buy many good things for his own enjoyment. Just now, Du Tulong had devoured the Long Armed Ape, and the heat in his body was surging. He had to hurry back to his house to meditate and cultivate.
"Wait, you want to leave after killing someone from my He Clan?"
Unfortunately, He Kui rushed over at this moment. He had thought that his fourth brother, He Qing, would be able to capture Du Feng easily. He didn't expect that this guy would be so stupid as to have a beast fight with someone else. In the end, not only did he lose his beast, he even lost his life. Du Feng didn't even need to make a move. Just his beast was enough to take care of He Qing.
"Oh right, I really can't just let this go."
"The He Clan caused trouble in Stone Plain City, disturbed the peace, and attacked an official from the City Lord's Residence. How should we deal with this matter?"
If He Kui didn't come, Du Feng planned to find trouble with the He Clan at a later time. After all, his Cultivation level was still low, and the beast wave was about to reach Stone Plain City. Since He Kui had brought it up, then he would deal with it.
"This …"
Di Ming was put in a difficult position. Everything that Du Feng said was reasonable. He had already proven in front of everyone that he wasn't a demonic cultivator. It was already wrong for He Qing to make a move at the entrance of the Du Residence. However, Du Feng had just been given a new official position, and attacking an official from the City Lord's Residence was not a small crime.
"I have some urgent matters to attend to. Captain Xie, I will leave this to you."
This old thing saw that the bone was hard to chew, so he simply threw it to Xie Haikun and slipped away.
"He Qing attacked an official from the City Lord's Residence, and has now pleaded guilty."
"He Kui has disregarded the law. Arrest him."
Xie Haikun's words were very insightful. He meant that He Qing had violated the law by attacking Du Feng. It just so happened that Du Feng was an official appointed by the City Lord's Residence. Therefore, killing him was equivalent to enforcing the law for the City Lord's Residence. As for He Kui, he jumped out to look for trouble. That meant that he had disregarded the law. Let the guards arrest him and bring him back to the City Lord's Residence to be dealt with.
"Who dares!"
He Kui's aura exploded, sending all the surrounding guards flying. He was a Void Sea Realm martial artist. How could he be captured by some Martial Condensation Realm guards?
"Xie Haikun, you're just a poor kid. Don't think that you're great just because you're a lousy official. Try and touch me."
Xie Haikun was at Void Sea Realm 1st Level Cultivation, while He Kui was at Void Sea Realm 3rd Level Cultivation. The He Clan was a large clan in the inner city, while Xie Haikun was from a poor family in the outer city. Through hard work, he had climbed to the position of Vice Captain and finally had a house in the inner city.
To put it bluntly, He Kui wasn't afraid of Xie Haikun at all. Di Ming had already found an excuse to leave. Who else could touch He Kui?
"How dare you defy the law."
Xie Haikun wasn't afraid of He Kui either. Even though He Kui was at Void Sea Realm 3rd Level Cultivation, he might not be stronger in a fight. He waved the large saber in his hand and was about to capture He Kui.
