Ye Xinxia was the busiest person after the battle.
The main members of Fanxue Mountain were not the only casualties. The elites of Fanxue Mountain had suffered great losses too. Many of them were in so much pain that they wished they could end their own lives.
Xinxia had been to many battlefields. She was well aware of the pain after a great battle. She asked the outer circle members of Fanxue Mountain to gather the injured and cast the Melody of Tranquility on them. It was able to alleviate their pain and stimulate their anticipation, so they would not give up on their lives so easily.
The battle lasted for half a day, but the healing process was extremely long. Luckily, some civilian Mages of Feiniao City had shown up and volunteered to lend a hand.
The authorities of Feiniao City had been watching the fire burn across the river. They immediately showed up after Fanxue Mountain won the battle. They even volunteered to send some Healers to Feiniao City as a gesture of goodwill.
Fanxue Mountain's status in Feiniao City had most likely changed after the battle. It was unlikely that any organization that tried to curry favor with Fanxue Mountain would cause trouble for them again. After all, Fanxue Mountain had not shown any mercy in the battle. They had executed all the invaders!
Fanxue Mountain's territory had existed since before Feiniao City was established. According to the law, the invaders were treated as robbers, and their owners could execute them on the spot.
Many factions had joined hands to go up the mountain, yet they were all taken out by the people of Fanxue Mountain. Even if some managed to escape, they were basically disbanded. They could easily tell how strong the people of Fanxue Mountain were, even without watching the battle.
They were no longer just a small renowned clan. They were stronger than anyone could imagine. They were definitely not the pushovers the others had described them to be, either!
Fanxue Mountain was destined to be different from before after the battle.
…
There were too many things to do after the battle. Mu Ningxue had to settle the internal affairs. Mofan did not have time to rest, so she gave Mofan a rather difficult task.
Drinking tea.
Drinking tea with the authorities of Feiniao City.
In the past, Fanxue Mountain would often be invited by the authorities of Feiniao City for tea. They would either say it was against the rules or ask Fanxue Mountain for help.
It was different this time. Fanxue Mountain was treating the leaders to tea.
Mofan arranged to meet at the main street of Bo City. This was the place where Mu Zhuoyun and Mu Linsheng settled down the residents of Bo City. Now, this place was very prosperous, and there was also a small street like Bo City. It had the atmosphere of a small mountain city.
The appointment was at 9 am, and Mofan was already there at 8 am. It was not that he needed to prepare for the meeting, but he needed to discuss with Zhao Manyan and Mubai about how to blackmail … and how to peacefully discuss the matter of compensation.
Vice Commander Zhou Yi was also there. Before the leaders arrived, he was already shivering as if he had been soaked in cold water.
Zhou Yi was Lin Kang's subordinate. Not only was he the leader of the South Wing Platoon, he was also the Vice Commander of the North City Army. Now that Lin Kang had fallen, both Fanxue Mountain's anger and the leaders' dissatisfaction would be directed at him.
"Seniors, I must have been blinded by lard to follow Lin Kang's lead. Please show some mercy when the leaders are here. I've been in the city for many years, and I've had a lot of dealings with Fanxue Mountain. I was only forced to do something against my will after Lin Kang came. Please spare my life!" Vice Commander Zhou Yi was pouring tea and smiling apologetically. He was a Vice Commander with a high status, yet he was only doing menial work for them.
"Why are you asking me to do these things instead of thanking Fanxue Mountain for sparing your life?" Mofan raised his brows.
Vice Commander Zhou Yi was in charge of many organizations in the city's north. He was also a member of the Magic Association. He had been part of the alliance that was trying to take down Fanxue Mountain!
Zhou Yi felt a chill running down his spine when he heard Mofan's question.
The demon king Mofan had even gotten rid of Zhao Jing!
He had told the others that Zhao Jing had run away, but he was nowhere to be found. Wasn't it up to him to decide who would come back alive?
"Military orders are absolute. I was only going to die if I disobeyed them. Lin Kang is now in the city's north. It's too easy for him to kill me. Luckily, you managed to get rid of this tumor in time. Otherwise, the city's north would still be in a mess," Zhou Yi blurted out.
Mofan could not be bothered with him. He was busy discussing with Zhao Manyan and Mu Linsheng how they were going to set Zhou Yi up.
Mubai stood to the side coldly. His mental state had been strange ever since he killed Lin Kang. It was most likely due to the endless abyss, but he should be fine in a few days.
Zhou Yi did not even dare to breathe too loudly when he saw the real Magistrate.
Zhou Yi never thought Lin Kang would die in Mubai's hands. How strong was Mubai now?
"Leader Mu, Leader Mu, well … since I've brought the North City Army with me …" Zhou Yi said with a bow.
"You and I both know what kind of person Lin Kang is. When the officials are here, you will tell them everything that Lin Kang has done. We won't make things difficult for you if you do justice to Fanxue Mountain," Mubai said.
"That's what I should do. Lin Kang has done a lot of bad deeds. I've always wanted to expose him," Zhou Yi let out a deep sigh.
…
The door opened. Five people with stern expressions came in. They seemed to have met somewhere and were heading to the place that Mofan had mentioned.
Some of them had been stationed at Fanxue Mountain for a long time, while others were transferred here later. However, they were all new faces to Mofan. It seemed like the bureaucracy and the Councilmen had undergone a great change after Shao Zheng's resignation.
"Who are they?" Mofan did not recognize any of them. He could not help but ask Mu Linsheng, who had just arrived.
Mu Linsheng subconsciously showed a hint of humility when he saw the five leaders. He introduced them, "This is General Li Shou, who is in charge of the Headquarters Town. This is Councilman Tang. This is President Jiang Shuihan of the Flying Bird Magic Association. This is Elder He of the Human Clan Alliance. This is Vice Mayor Nanrong Xishan …"
"Why don't you know who we are as the owner of Fanxue Mountain?" Councilman Tang was the first to speak. His tone was indescribable.
"I do remember some of the leaders who have done great things in the past," Mofan retorted, ignoring the man's tone.
Councilman Tang immediately frowned. His displeasure was written all over his face, but he did not say a word. He pulled out a chair and sat opposite Mofan.
As a matter of fact, it was Councilman Tang's first time being invited by a young man for tea, yet he had no choice but to come.
However, it did not necessarily mean they were here to hold Fanxue Mountain accountable. Fanxue Mountain did not have the right to hold them accountable.
If the authorities in the capital did not know about the incident, they would have to intervene and appease them. Why would they be at a disadvantage and be invited for tea?
