Chapter 1293 1292: Jin Zongfan's Plea for Help
Amidst screams of agony, Wei Bao, engulfed by raging flames, gradually fell silent, his soul vanishing into nothingness.
Amidst the swishing sounds, the four Saint Guards, already pale with fear, fled the City Lord's Mansion at the fastest speed.
"Lin Fei, should we pursue them?" Qiu Qiming asked Lin Fei as he watched the four Saint Guards flee.
Lin Fei's expression was calm as he replied, "There's no need to. Let them go back and report to their master, so that their master will come looking for us, and we can deal with them all at once."
Qiu Qiming nodded, "That's true."
Lin Fei made a grasping motion in the air, and the Saint Fire that incinerated Wei Bao, the Fourth Elder, flew into Lin Fei's palm.
Qiu Qiming, Leng Ying, and the others still had a dreamlike expression on their faces; Wei Bao, Fourth Elder of the Holy Dragon Realm, was incinerated by Lin Fei's Saint Fire just like that.
Not to mention that Wei Bao was one of the four elders under the highest ruler of the Holy Dragon Realm, Wei Bao's strength at the fifth level of Saint Ancestor was already astonishing.
Yet in the end, he was effortlessly incinerated by Lin Fei's Saint Fire.
This made them once again amazed by Lin Fei's power and even more curious about what Lin Fei's true strength was.
Saint Ancestor?
Saint King?
Or Saint Emperor?
Of course, this might forever remain a mystery.
Looking at the Saint Fire in his hand, which had incinerated numerous strong foes, Lin Fei knew that this Saint Fire was no longer the Bright Sacred Fire he had once acquired.
The current Saint Fire now had power far beyond its original, and incinerating Wei Bao at the fifth level of Saint Ancestor was not a difficult task.
Moreover, after incinerating Wei Bao, it absorbed Wei Bao's power at the fifth level of Saint Ancestor, which could be used to enhance the powers of Li Ruyan, Qian Songyixue, Zhang Ruoxi, Li Qing, and Xie Wenbo.
Lin Fei absorbed the Saint Fire back into his body when the sound of footsteps approached, accompanied by the continuous sound of breaking air.
Soon, several thousand cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion, either walking swiftly or flying, gathered in the square, filling it with people.
"Congratulations to Young Master Lin, for the City Lord's triumphant victory over the miscreant!" The cultivators around shouted, raising their arms in excitement.
"Young Master Lin's divine power is unparalleled, invincible in the world!"
"Long live Young Master Lin!"
All the cultivators of the City Lord's Mansion gathered in the square, cheering for Lin Fei's victory, having seen the four Saint Guards flee.
And since the earlier screams weren't from Lin Fei, they naturally belonged to Wei Bao, the Elder of the Holy Dragon Realm.
Since Lin Fei was victorious, they naturally came to celebrate him.
Lin Fei, looked at all the cheering cultivators, said, "Don't rush to celebrate me. The one I defeated just now was Wei Bao, the Elder from the Holy Dragon Realm. And now that I've killed him, the highest ruler of the Holy Dragon Continent, the Celestial Saint, will certainly send unparalleled warriors to deal with me. If you stand by me, you might face retaliation from the Celestial Saint. Aren't you afraid?"
All the cultivators immediately stopped cheering.
Defeating Wei Bao indeed inspired them, but killing him and angering the highest ruler, the Celestial Saint, would only bring about his wrath.
And no one could withstand the Celestial Saint's retaliation.
So, the expressions of all the cultivators turned serious.
They certainly did not wish to anger the Celestial Saint, even if they viewed Lin Fei as their leader.
"Even if you don't stand with me, I won't blame you, but if you turn against me and become their lackeys, I won't show mercy to you," Lin Fei warned the cultivators.
The cultivators exchanged glances and then all said, "We will not become their lackeys, nor will we stand against Young Master Lin with them."
Lin Fei nodded, "That's good. You may all leave now. No matter what happens next, you don't need to step forward."
Hearing Lin Fei's words, all the cultivators felt somewhat grateful, as their biggest worry was that Lin Fei would make them oppose the Celestial Saint.
And if Lin Fei truly did so, as the cultivators of the City Lord's Mansion of Ten Thousand Swords City, they wouldn't dare disobey. But Lin Fei didn't, and he didn't make them cannon fodder.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin." All the cultivators sincerely thanked Lin Fei.
Lin Fei only waved his hand calmly, and all the cultivators orderly left the square.
After all the cultivators had left, Leng Ying said to Lin Fei, "It seems these people are just cowards, not loyal at all. Why did you let them go?"
Lin Fei answered, "Leng Ying, if you were them and not my brother, I believe you would do the same. Who would dare oppose the highest ruler, the Celestial Saint, on the Holy Dragon Continent?"
"Alright, let's head to the palace first. That Celestial Saint's eldest son might soon come after us."
Qiu Qiming was somewhat tense, knowing what the Celestial Saint's eldest son implied. That was someone he couldn't afford to provoke.
If not for knowing Lin Fei's strength, he might have been too scared to walk properly.
Qiu Qiming forced a smile and said to Lin Fei, "Yes, yes, let's go to the palace first and discuss how to deal with the Celestial Saint's eldest son."
Inside the palace, Lin Fei and the others sat down. Lin Fei played with Xiaofei, who was in Li Ruyan's arms, for a while. It seemed Xiaofei knew Lin Fei was his father, as he was very happy being held by him, giggling joyfully.
Leng Ying, Qiu Qiming, Yuan Yuxi, Qin Zimo, and others watched the playful father and son duo, and couldn't help but smile.
After Lin Fei returned Xiaofei to Li Ruyan, he inquired about the situation of Qian Songyixue's parents and grandfather. Upon learning they were all well, he was reassured.
Everyone took advantage of this rare gathering to share their experiences of living on the Holy Dragon Continent and in Huaxia.
Just as they were chatting about daily life, Lin Fei's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Jin Zongfan calling.
"Qiu Qiming, isn't Jin Zongfan at the City Lord's Mansion?" Lin Fei wondered if Jin Zongfan were at the City Lord's Mansion, he would have come directly instead of calling.
Qiu Qiming informed Lin Fei, "Our people have discovered that recently the Gongsun family in Liufeng City has gathered a large number of experts, seemingly intending to occupy the Holy Mine Mountain Dragon Tiger Mountain on the border of Ten Thousand Swords City, so Jin Zongfan led a troop of experts to the border of Ten Thousand Swords City."
The Gongsun family of Liufeng City gathered a large number of experts and appeared at the border of Ten Thousand Swords City?
Lin Fei's brows furrowed slightly, no wonder Gongsun Zhong sent his third brother back to Liufeng City, this third of the Gongsun family didn't lead the manpower and Dragon Gold Coin back to Thousand Dragon City, but instead, brought people to target the Dragon Tiger Mountain on the border of Ten Thousand Swords City.
And now, with Jin Zongfan calling, Lin Fei had already guessed that something significant might be happening at the border of Ten Thousand Swords City.
So, Lin Fei answered the phone, "Jin Zongfan, did something happen?"
"City Lord, the second and third masters of the Gongsun family have gathered over ten thousand experts to seize the Dragon Tiger Mountain at the border of Ten Thousand Swords City. Our experts from Ten Thousand Swords City are in a fierce battle with them, but they have exceptionally powerful experts. We are suffering heavy losses, please City Lord, come to aid us from Thousand Dragon City, otherwise, we might not make it until sunrise tomorrow," Jin Zongfan said anxiously on the phone.
