Chapter 87 - Preposterous

A majestic aura burst forth from the middle-aged man as his large hand slammed down towards Xiang Yun's chest.

"This is bad!"

Seeing the palm approaching his chest, Xiang Yun's mind buzzed, his heart beating like a drum. He could already feel an indescribable sense of suffocation.

"Bam!"

Along with an explosive sound, the white light exploded, causing the middle-aged man to pause.

Yet the palm continued to strike down, but at this moment, a person had already appeared in front of Xiang Yun, also slamming a palm towards the middle-aged man!

"Boom!"

As the two people collided, the burly man and the figure that suddenly appeared both took a step back.

"City Lord Lu, what do you mean by this!" The middle-aged man looked at the approaching person and shouted out in dissatisfaction.

It turned out that the one who had acted at this critical moment was none other than the City Lord of Qinfeng City, Lu Yongchang!

The latter was no more than forty years old and did not have an outstanding appearance. His skin was slightly dark, he had a short nose, ears, and thin lips.

"Sect Leader Zheng, please stop." Lu Yongchang said to Zheng Heshan with a friendly smile on his thin lips.

"Hmph! City lord Lu, do you know what you're talking about? These two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds actually dared to destroy my son's Dantian. How could I leave these two little things behind?"

"City Lord Lu, I advise you to hand over those men, lest you hurt the relations.h.i.+p between my Snow Dragon Sect and Qin Feng City!"

Zheng Heshan was the master of a sect. Normally, no one would dare to go against his wishes. Even if the person in front of him was the City Lord of Qin Feng, a Mystic Cloud Realm expert like him, he would not show the slightest trace of politeness.

"Sect Leader Zheng, you can't touch these two young masters. Otherwise, both of us will be met with great misfortune!"

"Hmm?" City Lord Lu's words immediately caused Zheng Heishan to be stunned for a moment, then he sneered.

"Hehe, City Lord Lu, don't use words to threaten me. In your eyes, they might be important figures, but in my eyes, they might not be anything!"

Zheng Heshan thought to himself: "Who do you think you are, Lu Yongchang. Other than having a higher cultivation base, isn't it possible for anyone to s.h.i.+t on your head? These two calves definitely don't have any background."

"City Lord Lu, this is Young Master Niu. Young Master Niu is the son of our Wind Cloud Country's Board of Punishments, Niu Feihu."

"What!"

Although he was not afraid of a small city lord like Lu Yongchang, he was still a top official of the Wind Cloud Nation. How could a small Snowy Dragon Gate possibly stop him?

Perhaps the latter would be able to send out experts from the government or the imperial government. Perhaps, they could even raze the Snow Dragon Gate to the ground. At this moment, Zheng Heishan's back was covered in sweat and his expression became extremely awkward.

He realized that what he just said was a bit too big and it was too late to take it back.

Lu Yongchang then walked up to Xiang Yun, bowing deeply to him before turning to the stunned Zheng Heshan and saying, "Sect Leader Zheng, let me introduce him to you. This is His Highness, the Third Son of Prince Mansion, standing shoulder to shoulder."

"What the heck, standing side by side with a king!"

The infamous King Jian was not only widespread in the Wind and Cloud Country. In the entire Northwest Road, this person's infamous reputation was well-known far and wide. Zheng Heshan was also very familiar with this person's tyranny.

At that time, Xiang Tian, who was still a young general, had led the army through the Snow Dragon Sect and was blocked by the sect's great protective array set up by Zheng Heshan's father, the Snow Dragon Sect's Sect Leader. The latter had sent people to ask the Snow Dragon Sect's Leader to remove the protective spell and let the army pa.s.s.

However, at that time, the Snow Dragon Sect was the number one sect in the northwest border. Furthermore, the sect head, Zheng Xifeng, was an expert at the peak of the Mysterious Cloud Realm and had two middle stage Mysterious Cloud Realm protectors.

Therefore, Zheng Xifeng turned a deaf ear to the request of the Northwest Snow Wolf Cavalry, to lift the formation. The formation continued to operate, coldly watching the Western Cool Army outside the door.

At that time, Zheng Heshan, who was in the middle of the formation, could see everything clearly. He saw a tall and handsome white robed general jump up from his horse, flying to the side of the Snow Dragon Gate and raising three fingers towards the inside of the formation!

"Three breaths of time, remove the formation!" The young man only said eight words.

Three!

Two!

This person actually wanted Zheng Xifeng to remove the formation within three breaths. Such a contemptuous action instantly caused the Snow Dragon Sect's Sect Leader, Zheng Xifeng, to be enraged.

The latter sneered and personally flew to the edge of the formation. With the dense cloud energy of the peak of the Profound Cloud Realm, the formation instantly became even more dazzling and extraordinary; it was obviously trying to intimidate the army of the Empire of Feng Yun!

However, the young officer had already withdrawn his last finger!

Next, the youth punched out. It was a simple punch, a simple and unadorned punch, an extremely simple punch!

The great formation crumbled, the earth shook, and the Snow Dragon Sect's Sect Leader Zheng Xiafeng, who was at the peak of the Profound Cloud Realm, was sent flying backwards while spitting out blood. The Snow Wolf Cavalry rode through the Snow Dragon Gate, leaving behind countless hoof prints!

Zheng Heshan's mind echoed with the scene from back then, his entire body involuntarily trembling. As he looked at Xiang Yun, he immediately felt that he was indeed somewhat similar to that young general from back then!

"Hiss!"

At this moment, Zheng Heshan only felt a gust of cold air wrap around his entire body, unconsciously giving birth to fear in his heart.

Although their sect leader was a power on the mountain, their Snow Dragon Sect was not an existence with extraordinary power, like the three sects or the six gates. It caused the empire to bow in respect.

The Snow Dragon Sect was just a small sect that couldn't even be considered a third-rate sect. These big figures of the secular dynasty could decide their life and death with a single word! Besides, this young man in front of him was that young master!

Zheng Heshan's expression changed again and again. In the end, his fury turned into a smile that was even uglier than crying. His tall body bowed slightly as he cupped his fists towards Xiang Yun and Fatty Niu.

"So it was Crown Prince and Young Master Niu. I, Zheng Heshan, have eyes but did not recognize Mount Tai. I actually did not recognize you two. I truly deserve to die a thousand times for my crimes!"

"Hmph! You actually wanted us to die, didn't you?" Xiang Yun snorted coldly as he looked toward Zhen Xi He.

Zheng Heshan's heart skipped a beat at Xiang Yun's gaze, and he immediately bowed again as he spoke.

"Oh, so it's like this. Then should we compensate you for some of your injuries?"

"Oh, no, no. Your Highness, what are you talking about? My son has messed with both of you. It is already a great fortune to be able to survive. How could I dare to ask for your compensation?" Zheng Heshan shook his head hurriedly.

"How dare a mere Snow Dragon's Gate act so arrogantly towards me? I, Niu Mansion, will send any few reverends to destroy your Snow Dragon's Gate completely!"

"If I pull out my blade and sword, I can cut you from the south of the city to the north. Hmph!"

"Oh yes yes, Young Master Niu is right, it is all my fault, it is all my fault!" I am a small fry and I don't even have enough time to thank you, young master, how would you dare to offend me! "

Zheng Heshan lowered his stance and flattered Fatty Niu once more.

He proudly waved his hand towards Zheng Heishan and said, "Alright, you go on out first. Don't get in the way of Grandpa Ox's eyes here. If you dare to provoke me again, I'll beat you up!"

Seeing this, Xiang Yun impatiently waved his hand and said, "Enough, don't stay here any longer. Bring your son back to heal."

Hearing these words, Zheng Heshan acted as if he had received amnesty. He picked up the unconscious Zheng Yufeng and rushed towards the two of them once more to apologize. With a leap, he immediately disappeared from the City Lord's Mansion's Main Hall.

When they parted ways, no one saw that Zheng Heishan's originally flattering eyes were now as dark as water, filled with thick resentment!

With that, Xiang Yun and Fatty Niu were led towards the backyard by City Lord Lu. On the way, City Lord Lu greeted them courteously.

"Your Highness, Young Master Niu, it's been a while since you've come to my house as guests. I've finally come today."

Hearing this, Xiang Yun smiled, "So it turns out that City Lord Lu was still hoping for us to come?"

Next to him, Fatty Niu smirked, "City Lord Lu, who was the author of the painting hanging in your lobby? How about lending it to me for a few days to admire?"

City Lord Lu's honest face twitched. He smiled bitterly and said, "Cough cough, Young Master Niu. Let, let us drink first. We can discuss the other matters later. We can discuss about it later."

"Uh, in a while, I will have my servant pour the wine for the two young masters."

City Lord Lu's face had almost turned into the color of a bitter melon. The words on his face were clear, 'Why did I meet you two fiendish stars again!'

"City Lord Lu heard …"

"We're here, we've arrived, you two princes!"

Facing these two troublesome young masters, a dignified mayor simply became a waiter and ran to the kitchen to urge the servants to serve the dishes. Just to get away from these two people, even if it was just for a moment longer.

Of course, the latter did not forget to order her servants to hide anything of value in the front and back of the hall.

Otherwise, after Young Master Niu drank a few cups of wine and said that he wanted to visit the Mayor's mansion, there would be nothing valuable left in the mansion.

A short while later, the banquet was set up. The three of them took their seats in an elegantly decorated room. Xiang Yun sat at the head of the table, while City Lord Lu and Fatty Niu sat on either side of him.

The dishes on the table were not too sumptuous; there were no rare delicacies. Instead, they were all vegetarian dishes. Seeing this, the fat ox man, who was watching them without any meat, frowned as he muttered to himself.

Although Fatty Niu was mumbling to himself, everyone outside the house could hear him.

Your Highness, Young Master Niu has come, I should be preparing a sumptuous feast. However, I am the Mayor of Qinfeng City, my silver coins are low, and I have a large family to support me. A few days ago, I took a concubine room, so I was really nervous.

"However, these dishes were personally cooked by me in my new concubine room. They are not bad, but my two lords can taste them. In a while, I will have her accompany the two young masters for a drink."

As City Lord Lu was speaking, the pearl curtain outside the door was lifted and a woman dressed in plain clothes walked in. The woman was holding a plate of white tofu which was emitting green smoke. It was watery and tender.

When Fatty Niu saw the tofu, he was shocked. Even Xiang Yun, who was standing to the side, was stunned as well. The two of them stared blankly at each other.
