Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God
Chapter 1703: Preparing an Escape Route
Li Feng left Lin Luoyin's small courtyard and returned to the front hall of the Flowers Pavilion along the same route. Tian Wenxin saw Li Feng and immediately walked forward, glancing behind him.
"Do you have a relationship with Jiu Jianxian?"
Although he knew he shouldn't ask, Tian Wenxin couldn't help but let the question slip, as he felt like a cat being scratched inside. After all, Jiu Jianxian was a significant figure in Ancestor Dragon City.
If he could speak for Li Feng, the current crisis Li Feng faced would be easily handled.
Li Feng shook his head.
"No relationship? Then why did Jiu Jianxian save you?"
Tian Wenxin's eyes fixed on Li Feng's expression, seeming to want to find some clues on it.
Li Feng turned his head to look at Tian Wenxin: "If I said it was a coincidence, would you believe me?"
Tian Wenxin rolled his eyes, of course not believing him. Li Feng did not explain further and directly called for a servant boy from the Flowers Pavilion.
"These are Golden Vouchers from Fengyun Pavilion, which can be directly exchanged for Golden Spirit Stones. This money is meant as alcohol money for Senior Jiu Jianxian."
Li Feng took out a stack of Golden Vouchers from his Storage Ring and handed it to the servant boy. Before the servant boy could react, Li Feng was already walking out.
The servant boy looked at the Golden Vouchers stuffed into his hands β of course, he recognized the Golden Vouchers issued by Fengyun Pavilion, as nobody would carry millions of Golden Spirit Stones, which were like a pile as big as a mountain, so the Golden Vouchers from Fengyun Pavilion were very popular in Ancestor Dragon City.
However, upon seeing the denomination of these Vouchers, the servant boy swallowed hard.
The Golden Vouchers came in denominations of one hundred, one thousand, and ten thousand, and what he held were ten thousand-denomination Golden Vouchers, redeemable for ten thousand Golden Spirit Stones from Fengyun Pavilion, effective anytime.
A stack of ten thousand each, just a glance showed there were not less than a hundred sheets.
This was millions of Golden Spirit Stones.
Even though he worked in the Flowers Pavilion and wasn't inexperienced, this was the first time he saw millions being thrown around so casually.
The servant boy shivered slightly, the Golden Vouchers in his hand suddenly feeling heavier. He turned to look at Li Feng, who had given him these Vouchers, only to find he had already left the Flowers Pavilion with his people, and he immediately went to find the Flowers Pavilion's manager.
"Gentlemen, although we haven't been together long, we have shared life and death. Li Feng has a matter he wishes to entrust to you three."
"Once this is done, the contract between you and me will be void, and from now on, you will be free."
Li Feng had just left the Flowers Pavilion and, without going far, spoke to the three injured men, Lei Ba and his companions, seeing no one around.
Lei Ba looked up at Li Feng: "What does the Family Head want us to do?"
"If you want us to charge into Zeng Family and eradicate them, we're afraid the three of us won't have the strength."
Although Lei Ba didn't outright refuse, there was a hint of denial in his words.
Li Feng shook his head: "It's not to annihilate the Zeng Family."
"Oh."
Lei Ba looked at Li Feng. They also understood the feud between Li Feng and the Zeng Family. During the battle at Underground Palace City, the Zeng Family's schemes were thwarted; although they fought their way out, they were intercepted upon leaving by someone at the Golden Core Late Stage.
Obviously, the matter wasn't over. To have someone at the Golden Core Late Stage on their side suggests Li Feng has incurred the wrath of a formidable force, likely a mere fraction of something much larger.
Even though the three were battle-hardened from the Duel Arena, they were now vaguely regretting, as Li Feng's troubles far exceeded their expectations.
"Family Head, please just say it. If it's something we can do, we certainly won't refuse, but as we've said before, we have our limits in serving you."
Li Feng looked at Lei Ba and said: "Of course I remember. What I want you to do won't be difficult."
"You should know that apart from signing a contract with you three in the Duel Arena, I also bought five hundred War Slaves of Magnetic Condensation and Foundation Establishment strength."
"I want you three to take these five hundred people and leave Ancestor Dragon City, heading to a Southern estate."
Li Feng finished speaking and took out a land deed from his Storage Ring; it was an estate previously traded to Li Feng by the Zeng Family.
But this estate is located far from Ancestor Dragon City, as the Zeng Family was just an insignificant clan before, and the lands they could acquire were all far from Ancestor Dragon City.
This estate is actually just a small village, home to barely a few hundred people, besides providing some food, it holds little value.
However, this estate's location is along the route heading South.
Lei Ba and his two companions were undoubtedly surprised by the request to lead several hundred people to an estate outside Ancestor Dragon City.
"Is there something about this estate...!"
"No need to overthink it. This is an estate the Zeng Family transferred to me. Although I haven't taken possession, the estate likely doesn't have any experts beyond the Golden Core Stage, just a hundred or two households."
Li Feng said.
"That's it?"
Lei Ba looked confused. Apparently, the task wasn't challenging but rather too easy, granting them freedom so simply?
This came so cheaply, especially considering Li Feng signed a contract with the Underground Palace City, paying tens of thousands in Golden Spirit Stones, and then generously providing their monthly stipend. Yet, their freedom was given so easily?
Li Feng nodded: "Yes, once the three of you lead the group there, stay for three months. If I don't send any message in that time, you three, along with the five hundred War Slaves, will be free."
Upon hearing Li Feng say this, Lei Ba roughly understood that it was to prepare a fallback mechanism.
"Are you sure about this? Letting us leave, do you have the strength to fight the Zeng Family and the power behind them?"
Shadow, standing to the side, looked at Li Feng with newfound respect. Had it been someone else, they might work them to the bone. Even though they had reached the Golden Core Stage, they were War Slaves, disdained by the noble families who held them in contempt.
"Ha, those are my concerns. You need only follow my instructions, and you'll regain your freedom."
"Besides, you three contributed in the battle at Underground Palace City; against Jiang Chen at Golden Core Late Stage, you didn't flee but fought to the death. You've already done your part for me, Li Feng." ππ«ππ²π¨πππππ―ππΉ.ππ¨πΊ
"Now, with all of you heavily injured, keeping you here wouldn't help much, and there's no need for me to drag you down."
"So it's settled. Here's the token from Underground Palace City. You three, having experienced the Duel Arena, surely know how to handle recruiting personnel without needing my oversight."
"These few hundred people are entrusted to you three."
"Just leave like this?"
Lei Ba and the other two looked at Li Feng and Tian Wenxin leaving, still somewhat at a loss.
"Yes, quite unexpected. I thought he'd have us serve him until the end of our lives." Lan, the least talkative, spoke as well.
"Is that it, we're really just leaving?" Shadow blinked his eyes and said.
