Chapter 84: Tearing oneâs face to pieces
The Mayorâs Palace, from the main gates to the corridor and the garden to the courtyard, every three steps was a guard and every five steps was a sentry post. The elite bodyguards were patrolling back and forth, they were several times more alert compared to usual.
Inside of a silent room, it was filled with an unpleasant smelling medicinal smell.
A 15-16 year old girl was lying down on the bed, her eyes were closed. Her forehead was filled with pain and with every breath, a chest tearing pain spread over her body.
âCough, cough!â
Meng Yingying gave two violent coughs and a small mouthful of blood came out. Quickly taking a towel to wipe her chin, her full chest kept fluctuating making her appear very uncomfortable. After a while, it slowly subsided.
Compared to ten days ago, Meng Yingyingâs entire figure became thinner. Her fine and delicate face had turned pale and was completely lacking in blood red colour.
At this moment, she forcefully suppressed a cough, to keep everyone else from worrying.
This obedient and weak appearance, there was no one that could not pity her.
At this time from outside the room, the sounds of footsteps could be heard. Meng Yingying scratched off the dry blood from her chin and threw the blood soaked towel under the bed. Pulling up her blankets, she pretended to be asleep.
âYingying, are you feeling a little better?â
A voice full of attractiveness rang out.
âQuickly wake up, Xiong Tianyan has some medicine for you.â A tall and beautiful girl wearing white clothes walked in. She was carrying a bowl of medicine as she sat down beside the bed, âQuickly drink this, it will help ease your injury!â
Meng Yingying opened her eyes and instantly sat up. Her small face filled with a happy smile as she patted her chest and said, âAfter sleeping a bit, I feel much better! Elder Sister, donât worry about me. Thereâs nothing to be worried about, my body is already alright. Iâve practiced the Starlight Immortal Body! Those fellows want to kill me? Humph!â
The little girl proudly raised her head.
Meng Qingwu gave a sigh, âStop pretending to be strong, drink your medicine!â
âWa, what kind of medicine is this! It smells like rotten eggs!â Meng Yingying gave a bitter face, âCan I not drink it?â
âYou have to drink it!â
Meng Yingying reluctantly took the bowl, âRight now the city is chaotic, Elder Sister should go and manage the company. I donât need you to worry about me, I can take care of myself.â
âAt this time, itâs better for Nangong to go out instead of me. You just need to obediently listen and quickly drink your medicine.â How could Meng Qingwu not know that Yingying was pretending to be strong? She wished that she could bear the pain for her sister. She suddenly thought of something, âIf nothing goes wrong, Chu Tian should be back in next two days. Itâs not as if you donât know his temper, if he sees you like this, who knows how angry heâll be. Then......I have no way to even think of it!â
Humph!
Was there a need to say it?
If Chu Tian knew that I was being bullied!
He would definitely get revenge for me without any hesitation!
This was a fact that Meng Yingying did not doubt!
Meng Yingyingâs heart felt a little happy, but the way Chu Tian heavy handed way of doing things and his fearless disposition. If he went out now, wouldnât that equal sending himself into a trap?
Not good!
Not good!
The Chu and Ye Families both had countless experts, a big pile of Awakened Soul Cultivators. With this kind of terrifying lineup, even the Mayor tries to avoid entering a direct confrontation with them. How could Chu Tian possibly go against them?
âThe matter of me being injured, we canât tell him!â
âRelax, I know.â
Meng Yingying lifted the medicine and drank it all in a single breath, then she showed a disgusted face, âWhat kind of medicine did Old Xiong make? Itâs so bitter! I bet that the medicine that Chu Tian makes would taste much better!â
Meng Qingwu helplessly smiled.
This little girl mentioned Chu Tian every other three sentences.
Xiong Tianyanâs medicine was hard to drink, but it was very effective. After Meng Yingying drank it, her injuries already began to feel better. She was very satisfied with the medicineâs efficacy and made the decision to heal up before Chu Tian could come back.
At this time.
There was a commotion coming from outside!
From the direction of Mayorâs main hall, there were quarrelling sounds.
The two sisters instantly became vigilant. Recently the situation was very tense and even though they were in the Mayorâs Palace, it didnât mean that they would be safe. So the two of them were frightened.
Meng Yingying lifted the blanket and her smooth white feet came off the bed.
Meng Qingwu hurried over to support her, âYou injuries still havenât healed, donât move around randomly!â
Meng Yingying shook her head and said, âI think thereâs been an accident, letâs go take a look!â
Meng Qingwu didnât have any other ways.
She could only support Meng Yingying as she left the room.
Right outside Meng Yingyingâs recovery room was actually the Mayor Palaceâs main hall. Everything was in a mess as Nangong Yun wore his Mayorâs robe and sat on his Mayorâs throne. Several Nangong Family guards in heavy armor were by his side.
Inside the main hall, there were several people wearing official looking long robes. Their faces were filled with arrogance as they confronted Nangong Yi.
A white headed old man had a scroll in his hand as he loudly shouted, âNangong Yi, I am Luo Feng from the Main Cityâs Supervisor Palace. We suspect that Chu Tian is hiding in the Mayorâs Palace, please cooperate with our search!â
âYou bringing me a reason, perhaps you donât think it is funny?â Nangong Yi coldly laughed, âYou came to search the day before yesterday and today youâre coming again. Do you think that the Mayorâs Palace is a garbage heap in your backyard? Before this Mayor becomes angry, scram!â
âNangong Yi! What kind of attitude is this!â
âSouth Sky City does not belong to you!â
âMy current attitude is still very good, so I urge you not to take things too far!â Nangong Yi stood up and turned around to show his back. He impatiently waved his hand, âSee them out!â
The dozen Mayor Palace bodyguards encircled them.
âScram!â
Luo Fengâs spirit energy flowed out as the spirit energy condensed into a source spirit. A pair of palms shot forward and the dozen people were sent flying, all of them suffering heavy injuries.
This......
The remaining guards revealed a look of dread.
Luo Feng was clearly an Awakened Soul Realm expert. If they wanted to take him away, they would have to suffer a large price.
Nangong Yiâs face darkened. A strong and dignified aura was released, instantly filling the entire hall. It made it hard for people to breathe, âInjuring the Mayorâs bodyguards in front of the Mayor, are you trying to force my hand?â
âNangong Yi, I urge you not to feign ignorance!â Luo Feng did not have a trace of fear. Now that the Ye Familyâs experts had arrived in South Sky City, how was it not possible for him to kill Nangong Yi?â
Luo Feng had a stern face as he said, âWhat weâve come here to do, you should have a clear understanding!â
âOh? Please tell me what you are here for!â
Nangong Yiâs voice had a hidden cold meaning.
Right as Luo Feng was about to open his mouth.
Mang Qingwu walked in holding the weakened Meng Yingying.
Nangong Yiâs thick brushlike eyebrows wrinkled, âYou two still havenât recovered, why are you here? Quickly go back!â
âItâs them!â Luo Fengâs eyes glowed with a cold light, greeting the people behind him, âSince we canât find Chu Tian, then we just have to take these two girls away! I donât believe that if we viciously torture them, that turtle Chu Tian will still be able to keep hiding!â
âPresumptuous!â Nangong Yi angrily shouted, âYou can take people away at will. Can the Supervisor Palace really act this way?â
Luo Feng thought otherwise, âThis has nothing to do with the Supervisor Palace, Chu Tian killed the Luo Familyâs elder Luo Yuanshan! This matter has already arranged the family head. The Luo Family will not give up on this matter. Nangong Yi, you better know your limits. This is something you canât meddle in! The Main Mayor is already unsatisfied with you. I urge you not to do the wrong thing or else......â
âOtherwise I wonât be a Mayor anymore?â Nangong Yi coldly said, âLuo Yuanshan said these same words, but didnât he die without a complete corpse? Do you want to follow in his footsteps?â
Luo Feng gave a surprised face, âYou......â
Nangong Yi fiercely said, âThis Mayor has already said, as long as Iâm the Mayor, South Sky City will not be a place that petty people like you can meddle in! Scram!â
âGood, good, good!â Luo Feng gave a trace of a grin and he took out a scroll from his sleeve, âMayor Nangong seems to have steeled his heart to go against the Main City! This is an order from the Supervisor Palace. Since Mayor Nangong is insistent on harboring a thief, starting today he will temporarily be suspended from his Mayor position. I will temporarily hold the position of Mayor until this matter is fully investigated!â
Temporarily suspended from the Mayor position?
Meng Qingwu and Meng Yingyingâs face turned chaotic!
Although Nangong Yi was only a small South Sky City Mayor, but this was still very significant. Miracle Commerce had just been established and there were too many powers from Central State that could threaten them. This new company had to have a strong umbrella to protect them, only like this could they face everything and survive.
Once Nangong Yi lost his Mayorâs position.
Where would Miracle Commerce find a protective umbrella to hide under?
Luo Feng had a face of filled with happiness as he looked at Nangong Yi. Then he looked at the Meng Qingwu sisters, âWill you two come with me willingly, or do we need to forcefully take you with us!â
Meng Qingwu clenched her teeth and suddenly walked forward a step, âIâll go with you, just let my sister go!â
âElder sister! Donât!â
Meng Yingyingâs breath was short and her small face suddenly turned red. Her injury had suddenly acted up and she spat out a large mouthful of blood.
âYingying! Whatâs wrong! Donât scare me!â
Meng Qingwu hurried over to support Meng Yingying.
âNot good!â Nangong Yi was also scared, âQuickly call Xiong Tianyan over!â
Luo Feng gave a large laugh,âNot even one of you sisters can escape. Listen to me Mayorâs bodyguards, grab these criminals for me! The reward will be a thousand gold coins and rising three rank. Disobeying will result in punishment according to military law!â
The Mayorâs bodyguards blankly looked at each other.
But at this time, a familiar voice rang out. It came from the entrance of the hall, âStop being crazy old fool!â
The Meng Qingwu sisters were shocked!
Chu Tian!
Chu Tian had already returned?
Nangong Yi just gawked, then he gave an awkward expression.
Before Chu Tian had left, Nangong Yi had given him a promise. As long as he wasnât around to attract attention, he would definitely take good care of the Meng Qingwu sisters.
Who would have thought, the matter would become the situation it was today.
A bell sound gently rang out through everyoneâs ears. Although it was gentle, it still clearly rang out. It was as if in a personâs ear, it was like a hypnotic sound, making them feel completely absent minded.
A dusty young man arrogantly walked into the main hall. Wearing an ash gray coloured robe and carrying an ancient sword wrapped in a cloth on his back. Every step he made, the bell hanging from his waist made a clear sound.
His face was fair and handsome. His eyes shined like bright stars and his pupils were like deep black holes.
Luo Feng was surprised, âWho is it?!â
Meng Yingying was sitting on the ground, the front of her clothes were soaked red with blood.
When she saw Chu Tian, her brain went numb and she couldnât stop the tears from flowing. In these past few days, she had kept forcing herself to smile. Once she saw Chu Tian, all her sadness suddenly spilled out.
It was all wrong!
How could he show up at this crucial moment!
Something big was about to happen!
Chu Tian gave a long sigh.
Luckily Yingying was still alive!
Chu Tian coldly looked at Luo Feng, âYouâve looked for me for several days, now that Iâm standing you front of you, you actually canât recognize me? What a joke!â
âYouâre Chu Tian!â
The people around Luo Feng, all of them were shocked.
Chu Tian had arrogantly appeared just like that?
They had searched for him all over and this fellow had finally been found by them!
Luo Feng coldly smiled, âI never thought that you would dare to appear. Do you know that consequences that youâll face?â Go! Take him away! First break both his hands and feet!â
The dozen Luo Family experts jumped at Chu Tian at the same time.
Each one was a Body Refinement Realm elite!
Chu Tian laughed, âWorthless underlings!â
The sword source spirit appeared. Like a tiger jumping on prey, a fist shot through a Luo Family expertâs chest. His punches were like hammers, his feet like blades. Almost in an instant, they had all been knocked onto the ground, either dead or crippled.
Luo Fengâs face filled with surprise, âYou......You dare blatantly kill members of the Luo Family!â
âWhat does it matter if I kill them? I still have to kill you!â
Chu Tian was filled with a wild rage as he jumped at Luo Feng without any hesitation.
