"Isn't that so? He even said he was going to wipe out the entire Nanrong Clan. Do you really think it's a joke? That arrogant demon is in charge of the city's new city and the port. It's a good thing that General Hua is here. I hope we can take back his territory to prevent him from harming the local people," Nanrong Xishan said.
"General Hua, we are trying to mediate with the City Lord of Fanxue Mountain. After all, we have lost so many talented Mages. Unfortunately, the City Lord is a little hot-tempered," Jiang Shuihan said in a gentle tone.
"Ma 'am, if someone barged into your house and tried to kick you out, or if they didn't kill your family, would you still be able to negotiate with them?" Mofan interrupted Jiang Shuihan.
Jiang Shuihan's face twisted slightly.
Ma 'am?
Even though she was over forty years old, many people still referred to her as a beautiful woman. Some of the younger Mages in the Magic Association who did not know her position would call her sister.
Jiang Shuihan had the urge to tear Mofan's mouth apart when she heard him call her ma 'am!
"You're right. Ever since our country's Magic Association allowed the clans to own their own territory, run their own businesses, and train their own Mages, the territory has been sacred and inviolable. Elder He should know that, right?" Hua Zhanhong glanced at the old man.
Elder He of the Alliance nodded and said, "It's been a while, General Hua, you are still as handsome as ever."
"Not at all, I would have been here an hour ago if I were younger … by the way, Mofan, I happened to stumble into the chief of the Shark Men when I was passing by Lanyang City. I killed it, but its corpse is still fresh. I'll give it to you. Let your people see if there's anything valuable on it. Remove it as my apology," General Hua said without taking a seat.
The five leaders almost dropped their jaws to the hard wooden table.
General Hua was apologizing to the kid?
Besides, the chief of the Shark Men that had wreaked havoc in Lanyang City was killed by General Hua!
That was a Supreme Ruler!
"Not at all, it's my duty to protect the national treasure," Mofan did not dare ask General Hua to apologize to him.
The people he was apologizing to were the five assholes in front of him. They had simply stood by and watched Lin Kang attack Fanxue Mountain with his army.
They did not allow Lin Kang to do it, but they did not stop him, either. In other words, they were just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of Fanxue Mountain's labor. Once Lin Kang destroyed Fanxue Mountain, they would claim Fanxue Mountain's land and split it among themselves.
If Lin Kang was defeated, they would blame it on Lin Kang alone. They would say that he had mobilized the troops without permission, and they would be able to get away with it.
How could Mo Fan not know what these old things were thinking?
They were simply hoping for Fanxue Mountain to die. They were even willing to ignore the law. Why would Mofan treat them with respect?
"Awesome, General." Zhao Manyan gave General Hua a thumbs up.
Mubai also looked at Chief Hua in disbelief.
The chief of the Sharkmen Kingdom was most likely as strong as the Black Totem Snake. He was the 'ruler' that had tried to occupy the West Lake in Hangzhou. Many experts in Hangzhou had failed to defeat him, yet he ended up being killed by Hua Zhanhong who happened to be passing by.
What exactly was Hua Zhanhong's cultivation!?
"He was running around like he had lost some treasure. He wasn't escorted by any Sharkmen. He was unlucky that I stumbled into him. Unfortunately, I'm not the ruler of the Sharkmen Kingdom. If we can kill him, the shoreline of Lanyang City will be safe. We can even build a fortress there to provide shelter for the refugees," Hua Zhanhong said.
"Since General Hua is here in person, I'll hand it over. I don't feel safe leaving it in someone else's hands," Mofan took out the Earth Fire Pistil and placed it on the table unwillingly.
The Earth Fire Pistil!
It was the key to Fanxue Mountain's current predicament.
Fanxue Mountain would not be surrounded so easily without a crucial fuse, regardless of how many enemies there were.
In other words, Fanxue Mountain was isolated and helpless because of the Earth Fire Pistil.
Luckily, they were able to hold on until Hua Zhanhong arrived.
Hua Zhanhong had a high status, but if the Earth Fire Pistil ended up in Zhao Jing's hands, it would only take the Zhao Clan a day or two to digest the Earth Fire Pistil. Even if Hua Zhanhong asked the Zhao Clan about it, there was nothing they could do about it.
After all, the Earth Fire Pistil was an important catalyst for a Forbidden Mage. According to the International Convention, the Earth Fire Pistil belonged to whoever found it first.
Since Zhao Jing had left the country to seek protection from an international organization, Hua Zhanhong could not possibly go against the International Convention and snatch the Earth Fire Pistil.
"Is that …"
"Is it true that Fanxue Mountain has a national treasure?" Nanrong Xishan blurted out in astonishment.
General Li Shou glared at Nanrong Xishan.
"An Earth Fire Pistil, and it's the most abundant one. It could easily supply a first-tier city in the past!" Jiang Shuihan of the Magic Association exclaimed.
General Hua could not hide his excitement when he saw the Earth Fire Pistil.
It was indeed a treasure. It had almost fallen into the hands of a foreign country and the greedy Zhao Jing!
"Sorry for the trouble." Hua Zhanhong knew Fanxue Mountain had suffered a great loss to protect the treasure. He felt a little guilty.
When Fanxue Mountain handed over the Earth Fire Pistil, Lin Kang would not dare to attack Fanxue Mountain without a valid reason.
In Hua Zhanhong's eyes, Mofan, Mubai, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Ningxue were just a few kids, yet they were not swayed by the country's interests.
He glanced at the five leaders of the headquarters city who were still unaware of the truth. (Sigh) Some officials were not as hot-blooded as young people.
"The people of Fanxue Mountain notified me as soon as they found the Earth Fire Pistil. The Earth Fire Pistil is extremely important, so I told them not to give it to anyone except me. They can't even keep it for the time being. "
"Lin Kang is your subordinate, right? I'd like to ask, is Lin Kang representing the National Guardian Troop, or are you representing me, Hua Zhanhong? How dare you try to steal the Earth Fire Pistil from Fanxue Mountain?"
Hua Zhanhong was no longer as calm as before. He stared at General Li Shou with his black eyes. He was like an enormous mountain crushing down on the man.
General Li Shou felt like his bones were about to fall apart. He fell to his knees with a thud. The wooden floor under his knees even shattered into pieces!
"I … I was fooled by Lin Kang. I was fooled by Lin Kang. It's my fault for failing to distinguish right from wrong. Please punish me!" General Li Shou could not even lift his head. His clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
The other four leaders did not even dare to breathe loudly when they saw the situation.
No wonder General Hua had come in person.
A first-tier Earth Fire Pistil was a national treasure that could bring a city back to life!
