Ch247 - Lord of Jiang City

A month later, Liu Mufeng and his party of six arrived in Jiang City.

“Two Daoist Friends Zhou and two Nieces Zhou, I was looking forward to seeing you here.” As he spoke, a cultivator in the Spiritual Emperor Realm in blue robe had already arrived in front of the group.

“Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, two Nieces, you have arrived.” Another blue-robed cultivator had come over, looking very happy.

“Oh, Fellow Daoist Helian, Third Junior Brother, good seeing you here.” Smiling, the Zhou Brothers immediately greeted the two, and the Zhou Sisters also hurriedly saluted.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou, who are these two?” Seeing Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, Helian Tianqi asked curiously.

“Oh, let me introduce to you. These two are my Younger Brother’s Seniors, Helian Tianqi, the Eldest Son of Lord Helian, and next to him is Helian Tianwen. Two Fellow Daoists, Helian, we met these two friends at sea, this is Fellow Daoist Dong Feipeng, a fifth-level alchemist, and this is Fellow Daoist Song Mo, the Dao Companion of Daoist Dong, who is a powerful swordsman.” Zhou Kun introduced the two parties to each other.

“Oh? So it’s Fellow Daoist Dong and Fellow Daoist Song. My Father has been looking for you all the time.” Helian Tianqi was ecstatic when he heard their names. His Father had been searching for thirty-five years and had failed to find the two people, unexpectedly he met them today.

“Oh, We did meet Senior Helian before.” Liu Mufeng smiled helplessly when he heard that the two were Helian Xing’s sons. Although he knew before coming to Jiang City that Jiang City was Helian Xing’s territory, however, he really didn’t expect that he would meet the Helian Brothers as soon as they got off the ship.

“Daoist Song Mo, Senior Brother is also a swordsman and he seldom praises others. Are you good at swordsmanship? Could you give me pointers?” Staring at Jiang Xu, Helian Tianwen looked eager to challenge Jiang Xu. After all, the other party was also a sword cultivator.

“Okay, we can exchange pointers anytime you want.” As a sword cultivator, Jiang Xu was naturally equally combative. He had already sparred with the Zhou Brothers on the boat. The Zhou Brothers grew up in the Shengtian Continent and had a solid foundation and good swordsmanship. Although Jiang Xu’s swordsmanship was a bit higher than theirs, he still thought that these two Brothers were two good swordsmen.

“Okay, then let’s find a place to compete.” With Jiang Xu’s consent, Helian Tianwen was very happy.

“Okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed without any objection.

“Second Brother, don’t be rude.” After glancing at his Younger Brother, Helian Tianqi turned to look at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu. “Two Fellow Daoists, the inns in Jiang City are full now. If the two Fellow Daoists don’t mind, there are many rooms in my City Lord’s mansion. I wonder if the two Daoists would like to honor us with your presence and come to my City Lord’s mansion as guests?”

Liu Mufeng smiled at the words, “Fellow Daoist Helian already said so far, If we don’t go, wouldn’t we be disappointing Fellow Daoist Helian’s kindness?” Since the two Helian Brothers had already known that they had come to Jiang City, no matter where he lived, Helian Xing would definitely come and find him. Instead of hiding, it was better to go directly to the City Lord’s Mansion openly and aboveboard.

“Okay, Fellow Daoist Dong is really easy to talk to. Let’s go then!” Smiling, Helian Tianqi cupped his hand to the Zhou Family Brothers and Nieces, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, then they left the pier together.

“It’s not a big problem. I heard from Zhou Kun that Bai Xiong’s strength has plummeted, and he is now a nine-star cultivator in the Spiritual Emperor Realm. Even if he knows that we are Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, he would not be able to do anything to us.” Liu Mufeng sneered.

“Oh, that’s good then.” Jiang Xu felt relieved.

“I saw that the relationship between the Helian Brothers and the Zhou Family Brothers seems to be very good. Presumably, they should have communicated previously.”

“En, yes, I heard from Zhou Kun that their Brothers and Helian Tianwen are Martial Brothers. All three of them are sword cultivators and disciples of a single Master. They have a very good relationship. Before coming, the Zhou Brothers informed Helian Tianwen, they originally wanted Helian Tianwen to help them book an inn room. However, Helian Tianwen didn’t let them stay in the inn, but let them live in the City Lord’s mansion.” Jiang Xu replied.

“Oh, that’s it.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng expressed his understanding.

“Helian Tianqi said that a dinner banquet was arranged for us after we clean-up and refresh ourselves. I guess you will be able to see that old man, Helian Xing, who is looking for us.” Jiang Xu lamented.

Liu Mufeng smiled. “Actually, Senior Helian is not a bad person. He doesn’t have such a big air, and has a good temper. It’s just that he likes to pester you to ask questions and is troublesome.”

“Mufeng, I think Helian Xing’s alchemy is not as good as yours. Although he is the most powerful sixth-level alchemist in the Shengtian Continent, I don’t think his alchemy is very good.” In Jiang Xu’s heart,of course my own Mufeng is the most powerful.

“Actually, we can’t blame Senior Helian. After all, the Shengtian Continent is a middle-level continent. The alchemy inheritances are not complete, and sixth-level spiritual plants are scarce. Under such circumstances, the refining of sixth-level pills would not be as good.” No matter how talented an alchemist was, it was impossible to become an excellent alchemist without an abundance of spiritual plants. There was a saying that was very apt, ‘all alchemists are made of spiritual plants’. The conditions in the Shengtian Continent were too bad, which hindered the growth of Helian Xing.

“So that’s how it is.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

———-

At the banquet, Helian Xing, Madam Helian, and the Helian Brothers, all four members of the family attended the dinner. Liu Mufeng and his party of six also appeared on the dinner table.

After staring at the undisguised Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu for a long time, Helian Xing was frequently frowning. “You two Daoist Friends, which one of you is Dong Feipeng?”

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng smiled. “Senior Helian, actually my real name is not Dong Feipeng, and I didn’t just meet Senior Helian thirty-five years ago.”

“Oh? This…” Helian Xing was even more confused when he heard this.

“Many years ago, Miss Zhou Xiangyun of Xiang City was poisoned. City Lord Zhou of Xiang City once offered a reward of 100 million spirit stones to detoxify his Daughter. Does Senior Helian remember this incident?” Looking at Helian Xing, Liu Mufeng asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Helian Xing was stunned. “You, you are Zhang Hui, you are Zhang Hui who healed Miss Xiangyun?”

At Helian Xing’s words, the Zhou family’s Uncles and Nieces were also shocked. They all looked at Liu Mufeng in astonishment.

“Actually, Zhang Hui isn’t my real name either. In the two previous meetings, Senior Helian saw me after I had changed my appearance. Now this is my real face.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Okay, why do you have to disguise yourself?” Helian Xing couldn’t understand the reason behind this.

“If a wanted criminal on the reward list is not disguised, wouldn’t he be beaten to death?” Saying that, Liu Mufeng laughed.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. On the most wanted list? This person was on the reward list?

“Your Excellency is Liu Mufeng?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Helian Tianqi tentatively asked. Back then, when Liu Mufeng was wanted in Huo City, Helian Tianqi had seen the portrait of the wanted man, and now thinking back this person was indeed exactly the same as the one in the portrait.

“Liu Mufeng? You are my little Sister’s Second Senior Martial Brother, Liu Mufeng?” Helian Tianwen asked in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

“Back then, the names Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu caused a sensation in the entire Shengtian Continent.” Looking at the two, Zhou Qian said with a smile.

“That’s right, some people say that Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu are cruel by nature. It was not enough for them to kill the four apprentices of the Huo City’s City Lord. They even killed Bai Feifei, the City Lord’s Daughter.” Speaking of this, Zhou Kun looked at two people.

Jiang Xu had a face full of contempt at those words. “Hmph, who has time to take care of them? If they didn’t want to kill people to seize treasures and come to kill me and Mufeng, who would have bothered with them?”

Hearing this, Helian Xing’s wife swallowed. “So, you are Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu?”

“Yes, we are Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu. I’m bothering Senior Helian and Madam Helian.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng responded politely.

“Liu Mufeng.” Helian Xing looked him up and down. “I heard from my Xiaoxiao that you are a sixth-level alchemist, but I didn’t expect you to leave the Zunhuang Continent and come to our Shengtian Continent.”

“It’s safer here.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“So, the three pills you took out thirty-five years ago, you refined them yourself?” Staring at Liu Mufeng, Helian Xing asked again.

“Yes, I did refine them myself.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng replied.

“No wonder you are unwilling to save Fellow Daoist Bai.” At this moment, Helian Xing finally understood why the other party was unwilling to accept the reward offered by Huo City.

“I didn’t kill him while he was in danger. It was still very kind of me.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“That old guy had put a bounty on us for decades, causing us to hide everywhere, and we had to change our appearance every day. He should have died long ago.” Jiang Xu snorted coldly.

Hearing this, everyone twitched their mouths. Their hearts said:These two really dare to say anything.

“City Lord Helian, us, Husband and Wife living here, we wouldn’t cause you any trouble, right?” Liu Mufeng asked.

“Nephew Liu, you are Xiaoxiao’s Senior Martial Brother. We are all one family. What trouble? Nephew Liu is worrying too much.” Helian Xing said indifferently.

“If that’s the case, thank you, Senior Helian.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng thanked politely.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, I heard that you are the closed-door disciple of the Sect Master of Lingwu Sect. Your swordsmanship is very good. How about we have a sparring match tomorrow?” Helian Tianwen sent out an invitation.

“Okay! Let’s spar tomorrow.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.
