At the front of the group was a middle-aged man dressed in a light grey satin robe. He looked to be about the same age as Fei Wenjie and had sunken eyes, giving him a rather cold and stern appearance.
"That guy is the current clan leader of the Jiu Clan. His name is Jiu Lei!"
Fei Wei, who was beside Feng Hao, tilted his head and said in a low voice.
Feng Hao gave a slight nod and took another look at this person. He could faintly sense the formidable power contained within this person's body. This Jiu Lei was likely a Martial Spirit level expert.
Feng Hao's gaze swept across Jiu Lei before pausing behind him. There were two familiar figures there: Jiu Lin and the old man whom she addressed as grandfather.
As if sensing Feng Hao's gaze, Jiu Lin and the old man both noticed Feng Hao's presence and immediately frowned.
The old man also quickened his steps and whispered a few words into Jiu Lei's ear. The latter's body immediately stiffened and his eyes widened as he looked at Feng Hao in disbelief.
"Jiu Lei, it is our Fei Clan's honor to have little friend Feng's help!"
Fei Wenjie looked at the approaching Jiu Clan members with a bright smile and a delighted voice.
A Mysterious level alchemist was not something that just any faction could invite. This was indeed the Fei Clan's honor!
"Is that so?"
Jiu Lei regained his composure after a short while. With a faint smile, he directly said to Feng Hao, "Grandmaster, my Jiu Clan will offer you double the Fei Clan's reward in exchange for becoming friends with the grandmaster. What do you say?"
The Fei Clan members' expressions changed when they heard these words. Even Fei Wenjie's heart tightened.
Although he did not explicitly say it, everyone understood his intentions.
Meanwhile, some of the surrounding factions were somewhat confused. The Fei and Jiu Families were already standing at the peak of Chiyang City. Why would they treat a young boy in his twenties with such an attitude?
"Jiu Lei, you shouldn't boast like this. Can you really afford six martial crystals?"
Fei Wenjie's expression changed as he scoffed.
"Six Martial Crystals?!"
When the surrounding forces heard this number, they immediately looked over in shock and gasps sounded out.
In other words, the Fei Clan had spent three Martial Crystals to invite this unknown young man!
Normally, a piece of Martial Crystal would be worth around five hundred thousand gold coins. What kind of astronomical figure was that?Spending one and a half million gold coins to invite a person, one could imagine that this young man was definitely not a simple person!
Pu Xi, the patriarch of the Pu Family, also noticed the situation. He cast a few suspicious glances at Feng Hao, but didn't walk over.
After recovering from their shock, everyone looked at Ninethunder to see how he would respond.
"Six Martial Crystals, I'll pay!"
Gritting his teeth, under everyone's astonished gazes, Nine Thunder announced a price that would make people petrified.
In order to obtain a high-tier Yellow-Class Medicine Encyclopedia and gather all these spiritual herbs, the Jiu Family had exhausted all their financial resources. However, if they allowed Feng Hao to stand on the Fei Family's side, the Jiu Family's previous efforts would be wasted.
When he heard this price, Feng Hao's heart trembled slightly.
If he could obtain these six Martial Crystals, then there would be a possibility for his Yan Technique to advance to the Yellow-Class. Then, he would be able to advance to the Martial Master rank without any worries!
"This …"
Fei Wenjie clearly didn't expect Ninethunder to be so crazy. Six Martial Crystals was the remuneration for two consecutive terms as the City Lord. He couldn't help but feel nervous as he thought about it.
"Hehe."
Feng Hao smiled and took a step forward. "Thank you, Patriarch Jiu, for thinking so highly of me. Unfortunately, I've already promised the Fei Family. If I back out now, wouldn't I be known as a dishonest person?"
Although he said it tactfully, the faces of the Jiu Family's people sank when they heard this answer. On the other hand, the Fei Family's people calmed down.
Ninethunder's face twitched. He really wanted to say a few harsh words, but he thought about what the elder had just said. The Alchemist Guild's President had accidentally called this young man a lord. Although it was a slip of the tongue, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this young man's Medicine Encyclopedia was definitely better than his.
Faced with such a young Black-Grade Alchemist, he swallowed the harsh words that were already at the back of his throat. His face turned red because of this.
"Since the Great Master insists on this, then it's a pity."
As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of Ninethunder's mouth curled into a sinister smile as he stared at Fei Wenjie like a venomous snake. "Although you, Fei Wenjie, were lucky enough to receive the Great Master's help, the position of the City Lord might not necessarily belong to your Fei Family!"
As he spoke, a junior behind him took a step forward. He straightened his body and a wave of martial energy burst forth.
"Martial Master!"
That fluctuation instantly caused some exclamations to be heard from the surroundings.
This junior from the Jiu Family, who wasn't even 20 years old, had actually broken through the Martial Master Realm and reached the Martial Master Realm!
"Hehe!"
Seeing the ashen faces of Fei Wenjie and the others, Ninethunder leisurely turned around and left with his group.
"I didn't expect the Jiu Family to be willing to pay such a high price!"
Fei Wenjie and the others stared at Ninethunder's back with bitter smiles on their faces. Soon after, they let out a soft sigh.
"Martial Master?"
Feng Hao slightly narrowed his eyes. Speaking of which, his strength should be comparable to that of a Martial Master. With the Berserk Essence Pill and the Rushing Thunder Force, as well as the medicinal pills in his body, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to fight against a Martial Master.
Fei Wenjie turned around and saw that Feng Hao still had an indifferent expression on his face. His heart was moved.
At this moment, a clamor came from the entrance of the Beast Fighting Colosseum. A luxuriously dressed man walked into the arena under the protection of dozens of fully armed soldiers.
Fei Wenjie gave a few words of instruction and went up alone to welcome him. At the same time, the leaders of the various factions also walked over.
This was because this man was the Chief Supervisor of the Chiyang City Army, Yun Meng!
"Someone from the Yun Family?"
Feng Hao didn't bat an eyelid as he coldly watched everything.
Even though he already knew that the Yun Family wasn't simple, he didn't expect that the Yun Family's influence would extend deep into the army. From this, it could be seen that the Yun Family was highly valued by the kingdom!
Surrounded by many leaders, Yun Meng arrived at a high platform. He slightly pressed his hands down and the clamor in the arena died down. Only the roars of the magical beasts could be heard from time to time.
"Today, it's time for the Chiyang City Lord Battle that happens once every three years. I won't repeat the rules. I'm sure everyone is well aware of it. So, I hereby announce that the Battle for the Chiyang City Lord begins now!"
Following his command, the younger generation in the arena started moving. Each of them walked to an entrance and waited for it to open.
