When he mentioned the actions of the day before yesterday, Bai Zhenfeng's face became livid. Not only did they not catch them, they even lost so many people in the end. Those people were the backbone of their Bai Family. Among them, there was one who had reached the Seventh Level of Refined Body Stage and one was the one who had lost.
As the leader of the family, he would definitely not agree to going to rob Fenng Zhidie. He was very clear about Fenng Wuji's power. That kind of power made people tremble in fear.
However, Bai Family was not something that he, as the Patriarch, could just say. There were many elders in front of him, and there was even a Grand Elder pressuring him from above.
But in the end, he didn't know what those old fogeys were thinking, despite his opposition going to kidnap Fenng Zhidie. They thought that this would cause Fenng Wuji to be afraid, but in reality, they didn't know that this would instead enrage Fenng Wuji, enrage his City Lord's Mansion, and cause Bai Family and City Lord's Mansion to become two forces that couldn't be matched by fire and water.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenfeng frowned slightly as an idea struck his mind. Looking at the elders seated below, he asked: "What happened last night, is it possible that City Lord's Mansion sent people to do it?"
"Last night?" Everyone was stunned, unable to react in time.
Fenng Wuji saw the doubt on everyone's face and became even more furious. He almost cursed out loud. They did not immediately remember such an important matter.
The Great Elder was the first to react, and said with a grave expression: "The Patriarch said that yesterday's matter could have been done by City Lord's Mansion?"
"Right." Bai Zhenfeng nodded.
"It shouldn't be possible. Fenng Wuji's Yan City is no longer here, and Dongfang Shang is also in closed-door training to break through the Soul Forging's barrier. Right now, the person with the strongest City Lord's Mansion is only the Seventh Level of Refined Body Stage's Dongfang Yu who is in charge of everything." Bai Mu shook his head.
The understanding of Bai Family s towards City Lord's Mansion s was really thorough.
Bai Zhenfeng sneered, "Don't forget who Fenng Wuji is. With his prestige, it would not be difficult for him to recruit some Ninth Level of Refined Body Stage, or even some experts of the Soul Forging. Who knows if there are any hidden powers within the City Lord's Mansion. "
"And have you forgotten how the men we sent out yesterday died? Do you think you can easily kill them with just Dongfang Yu? "
Towards this group of short-sighted fellows, he really had no choice. Although their Bai Family were strong, that was only in terms of Yan City. No one knew how many powers there were that were stronger than them in Loongyun Empire. Bai Family was only a category that barely allowed one to enter into a first-rate power.
"Damned City Lord's Mansion, could it be that the annihilation of the Flame Meteorite Sect and the other forces last night was really their doing?" Bai Mu let out a low growl and slammed the table. The huge force instantly turned the table into dust.
"Right now, this is the most likely possibility. There must be other experts in the City Lord's Mansion that we do not know about. This person's power is probably even stronger than Dongfang Shang's." White Crane Xuan also took a deep breath, and said with a grave expression.
If that was the case, it was not good news for them.
Martial Cultivator who were even stronger than Dongfang Shang had at least the Peak of Refined Body Stage, and could even have reached the Soul Forging Realm. As experts of the Soul Forging Realm, they naturally knew just how terrifying a practitioner of the Soul Forging Realm was. If City Lord's Mansion was combined with the Mu Family and the Mo Family, it would be not good news to their Bai Family. If Fenng Wuji were to return to Yan City again, it would be the end of their Bai Family. They were well aware of how precious Fenng Zhidie was. This was also why they rejected Bai Zhenfeng's words and wholeheartedly wanted to kidnap Fenng Zhidie. But now, he had failed. On the contrary, he had been thoroughly enraged.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, four figures stood silently. These people were the Mu Family Patriarch Mu Juncheng and Mu Cheng who came with him. The Mo Family Patriarch Mo Ru You and the Mo Xin who came with him.
"Please come in Patriarchs, we have been waiting for you." Dongfang Yu quickly walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and cupped his hands in a respectful salute towards the two.
Mu Juncheng and Mo Ru You nodded in return. Although Dongfang Yu was currently the head of City Lord's Mansion, his strength was only at Seventh Level of Refined Body Stage. In this world where the strong were respected, their attitude was already considered very polite.
Dongfang Yu also laughed softly, not minding at all. Of course, he knew how arrogant these Soul Forging Realm experts were, it would be strange if they were courteous to him, a mere Martial Cultivator of the Seventh Layer of Body Tempering.
Dongfang Yu led the four of them through the corridor and into the hall. Dongfang Yu arranged for Mo Ru You and the other two to sit down before returning to his seat. He also instructed the maids to pour tea and serve him well.
"Is there something important that has brought Commander Dongfang here so urgently?"
Mo Ru took a sip of his tea and said calmly.
Dongfang Yu's eyes flashed with a cold smile. This old fox. However, on the surface, he hid it very well, and said while smiling: "The reason I invited you all here was to join forces with you guys to deal with Bai Family together."
Mu Juncheng and Mo Ru You looked calm, obviously guessing what was going on.
Mu Juncheng glanced at Dongfang Yu, then said: "Isn't your City Lord's Mansion the one that maintains neutrality, not participating in the battle of Yan City? Why would they want to join hands with us to deal with Bai Family? "
Dongfang Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light: "I believe you've all heard about what happened yesterday, the Bai Family wants to kidnap my family's young miss. My City Lord's Mansion will definitely not let this matter rest. " After a pause, Dongfang Yu continued, "The enemy of the enemy is our friend. I think you two should understand this principle."
Mu Juncheng and Mo Ru You had clearly heard about what happened yesterday. There wasn't a single expression of surprise on their faces as they lightly tapped the armrest of their chairs.
Seeing the two of them act this way, a hint of anger flashed across Dongfang Yu's eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Last night, the four forces, the Yan Yuan Sect and the Earth Devil Sect, were slaughtered in one night. I think you two should know about this."1
Mu Juncheng and Mo Ru You raised their heads and asked, "Do you know who did this?"
"I know, because the person who destroyed the Flame Meteorite Sect's forces is within our City Lord's Mansion." Dongfang Yu said with a smile when he saw the surprise on their faces.
Just as Gu Feng predicted, these two old foxes won't easily agree to cooperate with him.
Their hearts skipped a beat. They looked at each other, then looked at Dongfang Yu: "I wonder if we can have a look at that mister?"
The two of them were still skeptical in their hearts. After all, everyone knew that Dongfang Shang was in closed door cultivation, and the strongest person in the City Lord's Mansion was only Dongfang Yu. Since when did such a terrifying person appear?
