#290 - Enemies meet on a narrow road
As soon as the city lord Wang Mang said this, Zhongli Meiying's eyes instantly became fervent, as if she saw hope.
She thought to herself, this is an opportunity, perhaps we can obtain some information that is beneficial to us from this playboy immortal second generation.
He hurriedly nodded and said, "This is a good opportunity, to see if there are any clues about Li Chengfeng!"
Wang Mang immediately instructed the butler to take them to the living room. With a wave of his hand, he put the Blood Nether Stone into his storage bag.
Witnessing the Blood Nether Stone being taken away, Zhongli Meiying felt reluctant in her heart, but she knew that for the sake of the bigger picture, this little sacrifice was necessary. He thought to himself, Li Chengfeng, although he has no other outstanding qualities, his ability to find treasures is unmatched.
The two of them sat down as host and guest, and as they talked, footsteps came from outside.
The butler brought Li Chengfeng and Qi Yan to the door.
Although Qi Yan was apprehensive, under Li Chengfeng's encouraging gaze, Qi Yan had gradually adapted to this identity.
Li Chengfeng also cast a Clarity Spell on her to ensure that she would not reveal any flaws.
After arriving at the door, the butler respectfully said, "The City Lord is inside, please enter on your own."
Then, he knocked on the door and announced, "City Lord, the guests have arrived."
The City Lord put down his teacup and said indifferently, "Invite them in." The butler opened the door, bowed, made a gesture of invitation, and then stepped aside.
Li Chengfeng strode in with his head held high, as if this was his own backyard, without any sense of restraint.
Yu Yan also followed closely behind, her face full of smiles.
At this time, Qi Yuyan immediately stepped forward to report: "Senior, today I brought a big client, he intends to buy strange stones. This is Young Master Qiufeng Yue from the Qingyun Sect."
Wang Mang's gaze fell on Li Chengfeng. Only then did Li Chengfeng slightly raise his head and glanced at the City Lord.
He felt that the other party's strength was unfathomable, reaching the peak of the late stage of the Core Formation realm, and an invisible pressure permeated the air.
However, he didn't care, after all, he had seen many big shots, and even the late stage Nascent Soul cultivator, the Myriad Demon King, had to call him master in front of him.
He raised his head to look at Zhongli Meiying, his pupils shrinking slightly inadvertently, because he finally sensed this woman's aura.
In the Han clan, the other party had used a thousand-mile sound transmission to try to shatter his mind.
He didn't expect that this Blood Clan's Princess Zhongli Meiying, who is Zhongli Qingying's older sister, had also come here.
It seems that the Blood Clan's ambition is still alive, and the road ahead will be even more difficult.
Li Chengfeng cupped his fist and said straightforwardly, "City Lord, I am Qiufeng Yue from the Fengyun Sect, and I have come to your city specifically to purchase strange stones.
I heard from Yu Yan that you have a lot of good stuff here, so I want to try my luck, maybe I can find some treasures."
City Lord Wang Mang glanced at Li Chengfeng and thought to himself: "So, this is that arrogant Qiufeng Yue from the Fengyun Sect. Hmph, it wouldn't hurt to make money off of this kind of gullible buyer."
He responded with a smile: "So it's the Fengyun Sect's talented disciple, Young Master Qiufeng Yue, no need to be so polite.
Your presence in my Jinfeng City is truly an honor.
Qi Yan should have already introduced you to my collection. As long as you have spirit stones, I have plenty of good stuff here.
But let me state in advance that finding good stuff is up to your discernment. If you are not satisfied, don't blame me, after all, I can't guarantee that I understand every stone thoroughly."
When Li Chengfeng was mentioned, Qiufeng Yue's face darkened: "Don't mention that demonic thief! I was just accidentally injured by him last time. If he dares to come again, I will definitely make him suffer!
How could I miss the good things that he can discover? This time, I must find a strange stone to cultivate supernatural powers, defeat him, and let him know how powerful I am!"
Zhongli Meiying smiled from the side: "Young Master Qiu has great strength and will definitely be able to choose a treasure that he likes.
Why don't we go to the City Lord's treasure room together and also see Young Master Qiu's discerning eye."
She added, "That demonic Li Chengfeng is extremely cunning. What are Young Master Qiu's plans to capture him?"
Li Chengfeng knew the intention of this Blood Clan employer, who wanted to use information to test his whereabouts.
He sneered in response: "That dog thief has long coveted the matter of strange stones. I came here this time to wait for him to appear.
If he dares to show himself, I will definitely let him taste my power.
Last time in Tianlu Fang City, I was ambushed by him before I could exert my full strength, but this time I have come prepared, and he will have nowhere to hide in front of me. If he dares to come, I will definitely make sure he doesn't return."
Zhongli Meiying sneered after hearing this. It turned out that Qiufeng Yue also had the same plan, but she thought that although Li Chengfeng was strong, Qiufeng Yue was still inferior to that demon.
She knew that the strength Li Chengfeng showed was only the tip of the iceberg, but even so, it was enough to see that he was not an ordinary person.
Yu Yan flattered from the side: "Young Master Qiu has brought a secret treasure this time, specially to deal with Li Chengfeng.
Once he appears, he will definitely not be able to escape. My Young Master Qiu wants to stay in Guicheng for a few days to wait for Li Chengfeng to appear. I wonder if the City Lord will allow it?"
City Lord Wang Mang clapped his hands and praised upon hearing this: "Young Master Qiu's name is like thunder, and it is a pity that I have not been able to befriend him.
In the future, Young Master Qiu must mention Wang to the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect. Wang also hopes that the elders of the Qingyun Sect can visit Jinfeng City.
Not to mention staying for a few days, even if you stay for ten or eight years, Wang will definitely treat you warmly."
Qiufeng Yue laughed loudly: "City Lord really has vision, knowing that I, Qiufeng Yue, am not something ordinary.
I will choose strange stones now, comprehend supernatural powers, and then announce it to the world, so that Li Chengfeng will know that what he has done, I, Qiufeng Yue, can also do!"
City Lord Wang Mang stood up and said with a smile: "Since Young Master Qiu is so eager and has such discerning eyes, then I will take you to my treasure vault to explore.
I have moved those that are not eye-catching to other places, so as not to waste your time."
Li Chengfeng insisted: "City Lord, I want to carefully inspect every place to ensure that nothing is missed.
I came prepared this time and was taught a special secret method by a senior, which can detect whether there are treasures in the strange stones.
With just one touch, I can sense whether it is good or bad, or something special.
This supernatural power is not limited to strange stones, any treasure can be used, and it can even sense a person's injuries and strength. It is called the 'Great Heavenly Dao Touch Technique'."
City Lord Wang Mang tried hard to hold back his laughter, thinking that this Qiufeng Yue must be eager to surpass Li Chengfeng, so he learned this stone-touching technique, and was probably deceived by a Jianghu swindler, but that had nothing to do with him.
He responded with a smile: "It doesn't matter, let's go to the treasure vault first, and if you can't find anything satisfactory, we can go to the waste stone yard."
Li Chengfeng clapped his hands and praised: "That's exactly what I want. However, I need some time to carefully select.
Don't rush for a moment. I will browse through it roughly first, then go back and slowly comprehend it, and then give the City Lord an answer."
City Lord Wang Mang laughed loudly: "What's so difficult about that? As you wish."
Zhongli Meiying looked at Li Chengfeng, amused in her heart, thinking that this person was nothing but arrogant and conceited, and she didn't know why the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect accepted him as a disciple.
But she still flattered: "Young Master Qiu's methods are indeed extraordinary, I must see Young Master's strength and spells later."
Li Chengfeng looked at Zhongli Meiying, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "I wonder what this fairy is called?
Logically speaking, I should call you senior, but the fairy is extremely beautiful. As a talented disciple of the Qingyun Sect's Sect Master, I will address you as an equal. I wonder what the fairy thinks?"
Zhongli Meiying smiled sweetly, like a spring breeze, deliberately making Li Chengfeng look a little dazed.
She laughed secretly in her heart, feeling that Qiufeng Yue was so unbearable, she felt even more bored, so she said: "I am Princess Zhongli Meiying of the Blood Clan. If Young Master has free time, you can also visit my Blood Clan.
My Blood Clan has a treasure called the Blood Nether Stone. If Young Master is interested, you can also appraise it."
Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up when he heard the three words "Blood Nether Stone", and his heart immediately became fiery.
He thought of the legend of the Blood Nether Stone, knowing its importance to his refining of the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword, so he immediately became enthusiastic and asked: "Blood Nether Stone? I have heard of it for a long time. I wonder if the fairy is willing to part with it? The price is negotiable."
