Chapter 290: Chapter 286: Don’t Bother [Fourth Update]

Yan Rufeng’s eyes shot out a surge of overwhelming killing intent, even Xu Jiaojiao, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Ascension Stage, was startled by it.

Xu Jiaojiao immediately raised her voice, glaring: "Yan Rufeng, don’t say that I, Xu Jiaojiao, didn’t warn you. If you dare to touch our Cangmang Trading House, you’ll die a terrible death!"

Yan Rufeng said indifferently, "Sister Jiaojiao, if I don’t touch your Cangmang Trading House, am I supposed to wait here for your Cangmang Trading House to come after me?"

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head and quickly said, "Brother Rufeng, don’t worry. With me here, our Cangmang Trading House will never lay a finger on you."

"Heh!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled.

"Sister Jiaojiao, if you can stop your store manager from sending people from Cangmang Sword Sect, there might be room for negotiation. Unfortunately, you can’t do that!"

Hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao’s head buzzed, and she cried out in her heart.

"No good, if that’s the case, Old Wu is not just waiting for Ascension..."

Panic-stricken, Xu Jiaojiao quickly said, "Brother Rufeng, our store manager has already sent people. What should we do now?"

Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "Sister Jiaojiao, didn’t I say? I won’t have any problems now. After all, they haven’t fattened me up yet; how could they bear to kill me now!"

Xu Jiaojiao had a complicated expression, standing there with clear eyes seemingly filled with tears. She murmured, "Brother Rufeng, even with cultivation materials, there will come a day when Yingxian Tower runs out. How will you get away then?"

Yan Rufeng said sternly, "How could I, Yan Rufeng, ever be a sacrificial lamb awaiting slaughter!"

Xu Jiaojiao circled around in anxiety and said quickly, "Even though you say that, your cultivation is so low, and you’re alone. How can you be their match?"

"Haha..."

Yan Rufeng laughed loudly, "Sister Jiaojiao, you don’t need to worry about that."

Xu Jiaojiao softly said, "You’re in such a dangerous situation, how can I not worry?"

Yan Rufeng said indifferently, "Sister Jiaojiao, my situation has always been very safe. It’s you."

"What about me?"

Yan Rufeng said seriously, "Sister Jiaojiao, from today onwards, you should never go back to the Cangmang Trading House!"

Xu Jiaojiao immediately refused.

"No, I must go!"

Yan Rufeng said, "You now understand the methods of your Cangmang Trading House and Cangmang Sword Sect. Do you still think it’s necessary to go back?"

Xu Jiaojiao puffed out her chest and said seriously, "I must go back and convince them to change their minds!"

Yan Rufeng shook his head.

"Sister Jiaojiao, if you go, I might never see you again."

Xu Jiaojiao couldn’t hold back her tears, speaking with a sob, "Brother Rufeng, I don’t want to see you die. If you’re willing to join our Cangmang Sword Sect, with your talent, they will certainly change their minds."

"Heh heh!"

Yan Rufeng laughed, "Sister Jiaojiao, you’re not entirely wrong. They do consider that, but do you think I, Yan Rufeng, would do that?"

Xu Jiaojiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Brother Rufeng, please don’t be stubborn. If you agree, I will go to our store manager and explain everything!"

Yan Rufeng said calmly, "Sister Jiaojiao, don’t waste your efforts. If nothing unexpected happens, by tomorrow morning the City Lord of Azure Dragon City will be replaced, and your Cangmang Trading House will be driven out together."

"What?"

Xu Jiaojiao showed a look of surprise, "That’s impossible! How can a city lord be replaced so easily? The city lord has the support of a sect; it’s not that easy to replace him!"

"Swish~"

A beam of light flashed, and a dark green Communication Jade Scroll floated between Yan Rufeng and Xu Jiaojiao.

Yan Rufeng’s lips curved into a faint smile.

"Sister Jiaojiao, I won’t look at this Communication Jade Scroll, you should!"

Xu Jiaojiao spread out her Divine Sense, then her mouth gaped wide open in shock, "Brother Rufeng, you truly have divine foresight! The Jade Scroll says they are already on their way to the City Lord Mansion and plan to take it within two hours..."

Two cups of juice appeared in front of Yan Rufeng, and he handed one to Xu Jiaojiao.

"Sister Jiaojiao, have some juice."

Xu Jiaojiao took the juice, sipped it, and her mind was filled with mixed emotions.

"This Yan Rufeng is too terrifying. He said the city lord would be replaced tomorrow, and now he’s already getting reports that people are attacking the City Lord Mansion. But he only arrived a few days ago; how does he know people on Dragon Origin Star..."

...

In the main hall of Azure Dragon City’s City Lord Mansion, City Lord Chen Lin frowned, listening to Manager Yao of the Cangmang Trading House reporting about Yan Rufeng.

"Haha..."

Chen Lin laughed after hearing it.

"An alien, daring to cause trouble on my Dragon Origin Star, send the order to gather men immediately and level Yingxian Tower for me!"

"Lord City Lord, wait!"

Manager Yao hurriedly stopped Chen Lin.

Chen Lin frowned, his face filled with killing intent, "Manager Yao, what do you mean?"

Manager Yao revealed an evil smile and cupped his hands, "Lord City Lord, although Yan Rufeng comes from Cangmang Star, his Yingxian Tower is opened on our Dragon Origin Star!"

"Heh heh!"

When Manager Yao mentioned Yingxian Tower, Chen Lin laughed.

"Manager Yao, you’re ruthless. I, Chen Lin, am impressed."

"Haha..."

The hall echoed with Chen Lin’s wild laughter.

"Manager Yao, then let’s leave Yan Rufeng’s life hanging for now!"

Manager Yao cupped his hands and said, "You’re wise, my lord. At that time, I only want thirty percent of Yingxian Tower’s assets."

"Hmph!"

Chen Lin’s face showed fierce intent, "Manager Yao, what did you say?"

Manager Yao bent down and lowered his voice, "My lord, I said that when we capture Yan Rufeng, our Cangmang Trading House only wants twenty percent of the Spirit Stones he earns."

"Ridiculous!"

Chen Lin roared, releasing a tremendous killing intent.

"Manager Yao, not even a single percent! I want everything of Yan Rufeng!" Chen Lin said, clenching his fist tightly with ferocity.

Manager Yao felt immense pressure, drenched in sweat and trembling in his heart.

"Lord City Lord, wise and mighty, it should be this way."

"Hahaha..."

The hall resonated with Chen Lin’s wild laughter again.

"Report..."

A guard, covered in wounds, rushed into the City Lord Mansion.

Seeing the bleeding guard, Chen Lin angrily asked, "What’s going on?"

The guard hurriedly said, "Reporting to the City Lord, Patriarch Li Chenglin of the Li Family has attacked our City Lord Mansion and is already close to the main hall."

"What, that Li Chenglin is so bold?"

Chen Lin flew into a rage, shouting, "Follow me to battle!"

Outside the main hall, Li Chenglin and his men had already fought their way to the City Lord Mansion’s main hall.

"Chen Lin, you old fool, come out and meet your death!"

Chen Lin’s eyes were filled with killing intent, he shouted fiercely, "Li Chenglin, you destroyed the Duanmu Family and I haven’t settled that score, and now you dare to attack my City Lord Mansion? Are you tired of living, you old fool!?"

A beam of light flashed, and Chen Lin appeared in front of Li Chenglin, seeing the sky filled with Level 9 and Level 8 Demon Beasts.

"Hiss..."

Chen Lin gasped in shock.
