Chapter 1527
by“It’s that brat！” Hearing Liang Yong’s question, Shan Ying pointed his hand and gritted his teeth and said, “It’s him. He doesn’t take our Lingxiao Sect seriously at all. I have clearly told him that Bibo City is under the jurisdiction of the Lingxiao Sect and I am also City Lord Liang’s man. But this brat is so arrogant and bold that he doesn’t believe it at all. Please City Lord Liang teach him a good lesson.”
After saying that, Shan Ying looked at Yang Kai triumphantly, and his eyes were full of pleasure and anticipation.
He expected to see the scene of Yang Kai kneeling and begging for mercy, so as to let out all the bad breath in his heart.
But to his disappointment, Yang Kai didn’t show any signs of panic at all. He still stood there so calmly, with his hands folded in front of his chest, a strange sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes looking at Liang Yong defiantly.
The brat is really bold enough！ City Lord Liang came here in person, and he is not afraid at all. At this moment, Shan Ying couldn’t help but admire Yang Kai a little.
However, his such blatant disregard for others will only further enrage City Lord Liang, and his end will surely be even more tragic.
In his heart, Shan Ying sneered and deliberately or unintentionally glanced at Liang Yong, just as he saw him striding forward and quickly rushing towards Yang Kai.
Shan Ying couldn’t help but widen his eyes, secretly looking forward to the good show to begin.
The green-clothed girl and the others also sweated nervously in their palms, with panicked expressions. The countless warriors who had just supported Yang Kai and stood behind him, seeing Liang Yong’s imposing manner, also subconsciously took a few steps back, a little distance from Yang Kai for fear that if the city gate catches fire, it will affect the fish in the pond.
Some people already secretly regretted being so impulsive just now.
The great name of Liang Yong, they had long heard of.
Since the destruction of the Battle Heaven League, he has been the city lord of Battle Heaven City and is directly managed by the Ling Xiao Sect.
Although the Ling Xiao Sect has become famous in recent years, their actions seem to be very low-key. No one has ever heard of any Ling Xiao Sect disciples appearing outside. And Liang Yong seems to have become the spokesperson of the Ling Xiao Sect to the outside world！
Now that he has come here, no matter what his strength is, he represents the behemoth of the Ling Xiao Sect！
Even if he is an ordinary person who has not cultivated, no one dares to attack him. What’s more, he is still a top powerhouse at the Void Return Third Layer realm. Just in terms of strength, he is even stronger than Shan Ying.
The kid is doomed！
Many people looked at Yang Kai with a hint of sympathy in their eyes. No matter how big the backer behind this kid was, I’m afraid no one would dare to take revenge for him even if he died miserably here today.
The distance of a dozen zhang was closed in an instant. Liang Yong rushed in front of Yang Kai in a hurry. Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out and flicked his lapel back, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head and said in a deep voice, “This subordinate, Liang Yong, pays respects to the Sect Master！”
The movements were clean and neat, as if having been rehearsed countless times, without the slightest hesitation.
Yang Kai’s expression was cold. He looked down at him condescendingly, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth remained the same as before, looking unfathomable.
Eyes were popping all over the ground.
Everyone who saw this scene opened their mouths wide and their eyes almost thinking that they had seen wrongly and almost thinking that they had heard wrongly, as if they were in a dream.
The scene was deathly silent, but in the dark, it seemed that a chill enveloped in front of this City Lord’s Mansion, making many people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Shan Ying’s face was full of astonishment, and he stared blankly at Liang Yong.
He suddenly discovered that fine beads of sweat had oozed out on Liang Yong’s forehead. Those beads of sweat condensed together and turned into drops of sweat, sliding down his forehead along his cheeks.
Tick. Tick…
Shan Ying’s body shook violently. A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered a piece of information he had heard before.
It is said that Yang Kai, the Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect, seems to be just a young man not very old. According to all kinds of descriptions he has heard, it faintly has some similarities with the person who is causing trouble in front of him…
And the address that Liang Yong used for him just now seemed to be…
Shan Ying’s eyes rolled and he almost fainted.
Subordinates and others pay their respects to the Sect Master. We didn’t know the Sect Master’s arrival and failed to welcome him from afar. Please forgive us, Sect Master！” Qiqi’s shouts came from the mouths of the warriors brought by Liang Yong, shocking the universe and shocking the hearts of everyone.”
The green-clothed girl was stunned again, looking at Yang Kai stupidly. It was only after a long time that she seemed to understand something, and a strange luster appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Liang Yong…” Yang Kai called out faintly.”
Subordinate is here.” Liang Yong replied quickly, and his voice seemed to tremble a little.”
After a few years of not seeing each other, you have made progress.” Yang Kai sneered slightly.”
Subordinate dare not！” The cold sweat on Liang Yong’s forehead kept dripping down, and his whole body was like being fished out of the water. His whole body of clothes was wet with sweat. Hearing the dissatisfaction in Yang Kai’s words, he said anxiously, “Subordinate is ineffective in governing his subordinates and has made the Sect Master suffer. Please punish me, Sect Master！
Well, let’s wait for the matter of punishing you first. However, this Sect Master is very curious. When did you join Lingxiao Sect？ Without this Sect Master’s order, who accepted you？
Liang Yong’s body trembled, and the corner of his eye viciously glanced at Shan Ying, the hatred in his heart difficult to describe in words.
He had just received intelligence in Zhantian City, hearing that there was someone causing trouble here, and immediately brought a group of people to this place through the spatial array. How could he have known that as soon as he walked out of the City Lord’s Mansion, he saw the person he feared the most in his life.
He wished he could tear Shan Ying, this thoughtless fool, into pieces.
“Sect Master, please see clearly. Your subordinate has long admired the might of the sect and had the intention to join and shed blood for the sect, but has never been able to fulfill this wish. Your subordinate was favored by the Sect Master and appointed as the City Lord of Zhantian City, responsible for managing Zhantian City and raising supplies for the Sect Master and the sect. However, your subordinate is just a survivor of the Zhantian Alliance. Afraid of not being able to convince the crowd, this is why I made such a claim publicly. It was also a last resort. Deputy City Lord Ge also knows about this matter.” Liang Yong thought for a moment and quickly reported.
“Is that so, Xiao Qi, is there such a thing？” Yang Kai raised his head and looked at a bucktoothed warrior in the crowd.
The latter nodded.
“Well, since that’s the case, then let’s forget about this matter.” Yang Kai gently nodded.
Hearing him say this, Liang Yong couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
Before his raised heart could be put down, he heard Yang Kai say again： “Let’s talk about this Bibo City again.”
Liang Yong’s heart tightened, and a sense of foreboding hit him from head to toe.
“I heard that Bibo City is affiliated to Zhantian City?” Yang Kai looked at Liang Yong and asked.
“Returning to Sect Master, this is indeed the case. Not only Bibo City, but all the cities within a radius of several million miles are attached to Zhantian City. There are a total of about nine “cities of different sizes!”
“Well done.” Yang Kai grinned.
“Thank you for the Sect Master’s praise. It is a subordinate’s honor to serve the sect.”
“So, all the measures in Bibo City are instructed by Zhantian City？” Yang Kai looked at Liang Yong with a smile.
Liang Yong’s expression panicked, and he quickly said, This is not the case. The subordinate only asks these affiliated cities to pay some materials or Saint Crystals every year. As for everything in the city, the subordinate has not interfered. They are all managed by their respective City Lord’s Mansions.”
“The answer is also good.” Yang Kai smiled meaningfully.
“Sect Master…” Ge Qi looked at Yang Kai suspiciously. “Is there something wrong with Bibo City？”
“I just came here today and don’t know much. If you want to know more, you might as well ask these people.” Yang Kai pointed to the countless martial artists watching the excitement.
Ge Qi pondered for a moment, faintly feeling that things were not that simple. He quickly walked over from the front, came to the front of the crowd, and bowed, saying, “Everyone, I’m Ge Qi, the deputy city lord of Zhantian City and a disciple of Lingxiao Sect! If you have anything to say, you might as well tell me. I guarantee with the reputation of the sect that no one will make things difficult for you.”
The scene was silent, and no one spoke. They all stared blankly at Ge Qi.
They were afraid and didn’t trust Ge Qi, so naturally they didn’t have the courage to expose the old background of the Bibo City Lord’s Mansion.
The green-clothed girl opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but then swallowed the words back.
“Fei’er, if you have anything to say, just say it. I’m here, and no one dares to do anything to you.” Yang Kai observed the situation and comforted her.
The green-clothed girl seemed to have received encouragement and courage. She took a deep breath and said in a soft voice, “Fei’er’s Fourth Uncle was beaten to death by the people of the City Lord’s Mansion two years ago because he didn’t want to pay the Saint Crystals！”
“And today, the gains we worked so hard to get, the people of the City Lord’s Mansion want to snatch them all. Not only that, they also want to snatch Fei’er. If it weren’t for Big Brother Yang’s action, the consequences would be disastrous.” Another young man shouted.
Ge Qi’s face sank.
“Bibo City is not a place for people to stay. Seventy percent of all the gains have to be paid to the City Lord’s Mansion. We can’t live anymore.”
“There is a roster in the City Lord’s Mansion. People listed in the roster are not allowed to leave Bibo City. If discovered, they will be killed without mercy. Many people who wanted to leave Bibo City have already died.”
Sporadic shouts began to come from the crowd. Soon, countless people began to shout in confusion.
Ge Qi’s face became more and more gloomy and cold, and Yang Kai’s expression also became more and more sinister and fierce.
After a long while, those noisy voices gradually subsided. Yang Kai and Ge Qi looked at each other and saw the anger in each other’s eyes.
These vicious things done by Bibo City are nothing. The You’an Star is so big that there will always be some places like this. But what made Yang Kai angry was that Bibo City was acting in the name of the Lingxiao Sect.
Otherwise, the City Lord’s Mansion would have been razed to the ground by countless warriors long ago.
The great reputation of the Lingxiao Sect made Bibo City dare not resist even though there were complaints everywhere.
This is smearing the Lingxiao Sect. If this continues, where will the Lingxiao Sect have a foothold on the You’an Star?
Within a radius of several million miles of Zhantian City, there are nine cities. If Bibo City is like this, what about the other cities？
“Xiao Qi, you are not competent as the deputy city lord!” Yang Kai glanced at him.
Ge Qi looked ashamed.
He also didn’t expect the situation outside to be like this.
Ever since three years ago when Yang Kai asked him to stay in Zhantian City to serve as the deputy city lord, he hadn’t left Zhantian City. On weekdays, he lived a secluded life and only occasionally paid attention to the situation in Zhantian City.
Over there, they strictly adhered to the measure of winning over people’s hearts that Yang Kai had promulgated when he left back then. The tax was so low that it could almost be ignored, attracting a large number of martial artists to settle there. Now, Zhantian City was overcrowded and thriving.
However, the other cities under the jurisdiction of Zhantian City were not like this.
Under the guise of that glamorous appearance, there were actually people doing some malicious and popularity-losing deeds in secret.
Fortunately, Yang Kai discovered it early. Otherwise, the consequences would be difficult to estimate. Just thinking about this, Ge Qi broke out in a cold sweat and at the same time became angry.
