Chaotic Sword God-Chapter 3777: Collusion Between Officials and Criminals
Chapter 3777: Collusion Between Officials and Criminals
“I suspect that fighting occurred here and that someone was blatantly breaking the rules of the Immortal Rising City, which was why I came here,” the captain of the squad, Xue Feng, said. He behaved like the enforcers of the appraisal fair were absolutely nothing in his eyes.
Shortly afterwards, he directly bypassed the enforcers and arrived before Jing Feng and Jing Mumu.
At this moment, the sword intent released by the tip of the broken sword in Jing Mumu’s hand had already begun to weaken, but it still glowed brightly.
Xue Feng casually glanced past the tip of the sword. He subconsciously sent the senses of his soul inside. However, sharp pain filled his soul as soon as he made contact, so he withdrew in fright. Shortly afterwards, the way he looked at the tip of the sword contained well-hid temptation.
“Sir, we were purchasing items as usual, but this stall owner suddenly lashed out to take our item. Not only did he break the rules of the appraisal fair, but he has also defied the rules of the Immortal Rising City,” Jing Feng clasped his fist towards Xue Feng and said extremely politely.
“Is that the case?” Xue Feng looked at the stall owner.
“No, it’s not. That’s not the case. Sir, the two of them clearly forced a deal on me. My tip of this broken sword is an impressive treasure, yet the two of them wanted to purchase it for just a measly hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals. I obviously refused to sell it.” The old man was pale and shaken up inside, but he still spun lies stubbornly.
“The enforcers of our appraisal fair have already gotten to the bottom of this entire matter. Do you need us to provide evidence before you’ll finally give up?” the enforcer from the appraisal fair said coldly.
Xue Feng understood everything going on as soon as he heard that. He could not help but glance at the tip of the broken sword in Jing Mumu’s hand again and sigh. “You can tell from a single glance that this item is extraordinary. I don’t know how much it’s worth, but it’s definitely worth far more than a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals. It’s no wonder you would behave irrationally from how great of a loss that is and break some rules.”
“So be it. In consideration of the fact that you’re also a victim, I won’t pursue the fact that you crossed the line earlier. However, never again, do you understand?” Towards the end, Xue Feng became stern.
“I understand, I understand.” The stall owner sobbed with a dejected expression.
At this moment, the captain of the enforcers sensed something. Suddenly, he looked into the distance. Within the crowd, he locked onto a tall, skinny, middle-aged man in hemp clothes.
“Shi Zhongxian? He’s actually here?” The captain of the enforcers furrowed his brows and subconsciously glanced at Xue Feng. There was a hint of hesitation and troubledness in his eyes.
He obviously was familiar with Shi Zhongxian. Over the years, he had cooperated with Xue Feng, and who knew how many unspeakable deeds they had committed. As long as Shi Zhongxian and Xue Feng appeared at the same time, nothing good could come out of it.
“Sigh, if the two of them don’t possess a particularly powerful background, they probably won’t be able to keep the treasure.” The captain of the enforcers looked at Jing Feng and Jing Mumu with sympathy. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Xue Feng’s backing was the head commander of the city guards. He could not afford to offend him.
“Since even captain Feng has spoken for you, we’ll drop the matter today. Let’s go.” The captain of the enforcers seemed to know what would unfold next, so he left with his subordinates in a hurry after leaving that behind.
“Captain Feng, this captain Liu doesn’t seem to be very happy with all this.”
After he left, one of the Xuan Immortal guards behind Xue Feng said with a chuckle.
“Whatever. Let’s not worry about him.” Xue Feng waved his hand. He was unconcerned. Shortly afterwards, he looked at Jing Mumu and Jing Feng. He smiled and said, “Congratulations on obtaining such a great treasure in the appraisal fair, the two of you. Your luck truly leaves me envious.”
Jing Feng did not dare to brush aside Xue Feng’s congratulations. He immediately clasped his fist and replied politely.
Afterwards, Xue Feng left the appraisal fair with several dozen guards.
Right after he left, the Xuan Immortal guard by Xue Feng’s side received some news and took out a jade slip. Wth a sweep of the senses of his soul, he immediately smiled easily. “Captain Feng, we’ve already gotten to the bottom of these two people. The Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal is called Jing Feng. He comes from the Falling Cloud City. The strongest expert in his clan is an early Immortal Monarch.”
“Just an early Immortal Monarch?” When he heard that, Xue Feng smiled resplendently and said, “Then there are no worries. You know what to do next, right?”
“Of course, of course. I’ll contact Shi Zhongxian right now and get him to create an opportunity for us.” The Xuan Immortal guard snickered and immediately took out a transmission jade slip.
……
…
With the enforcers and the city guards’ departure, the immortals in the surroundings all looked at the tip of the sword in temptation. As a matter of fact, many of them directly tried to study it with the senses of their souls, but they all experienced stabbing pain in their souls, making them suffer.
“Fellow, are you selling the treasure in your possession? Name any price.”
“I can offer you a low quality god artifact in perfect condition…”
Shortly afterwards, similar offers sprang up endlessly. Many immortals spoke up, wanting to purchase the tip of the broken sword.
Jing Mumu seemed to be at quite a loss after all these people surrounded her, so she handed the tip of the sword over for Jing Feng to hold.
However, right when Jing Feng accepted the tip of the sword from Jing Mumu, something unexpected occurred. A tall, skinny, middle-aged man in hemp clothes suddenly appeared in front of Jing Feng. Powerful energy gathered in his hand. He launched an attack towards Jing Feng with the power of laws of a peak Xuan Immortal, completely ignoring the rules that forbade fighting in the Immortal Rising City.
“How dare you. This is the Immortal Rising City. Do you really want to fight here?” Jing Feng’s face sank. What was going on today? First, a stall owner had lost his reason and tried to steal from them. Soon after, someone actually tried to attack them publicly. This person happened to be feeble too, so he was completely incapable of resisting the punishment from the city for breaking the rules.
He might have been bold enough to ignore the rules but Jing Feng was not. As a result, when he faced the man’s attack, he did not fight back. Instead, he raised an energy barrier, withstanding the attack with his powerful cultivation.
Bang!
With a boom, the man’s hand slammed against Jing Feng’s energy barrier, immediately producing a shockwave and blowing away several of the stalls in the surroundings. It was chaotic.
Not only had the man’s attack failed to destroy Jing Feng’s energy barrier, but he instead behaved like he was heavily injured. His face paled as he sprayed with blood. He was launched away like a flying kite, landing on the ground miserably.
Jing Feng was taken aback. He had merely taken the most basic defensive measure, which did not possess any offensive power. It definitely could not injure a peak Xuan Immortal to such an extent.
“Oh no, it’s a trap!” He responded very quickly and immediately felt an ill omen. However, before he could do anything else, a squad of guards rushed over. It was the same squad that had just left, led by Xue Feng.
“How dare you? Who has the courage to fight in the Immortal Rising City? Don’t you know that it’s strictly forbidden here?” Xue Feng yelled out. His presence as a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal radiated out as he surrounded Jing Feng and Jing Mumu with his guards.
