The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 150: The City Lord Descends

"Hmm?"

Qian Feng’s old face also changed as he glared towards the horizon.

"Boom!"

A blue light halo, like flowing silk, swept in. Accompanied by a loud bang, the blue halo instantly shattered the black Bloody Wind Palm Seal that Qian Feng had struck towards Jing Yan.

"Whoosh!"

A figure in a blue long dress slowly descended from the sky.

"A Dao Spirit Realm expert?" Everyone present felt a slight tremor in their hearts. Because only a Dao Spirit Realm expert could fly briefly through the sky. And the person who had arrived was obviously descending from above.

"City... City Lord?"

Wei Family Patriarch Wei Jiuhe’s gaze sharpened, and he involuntarily called out.

The one dressed in a blue long dress, who had just arrived, was none other than Duyang City Lord Bai Xue.

"Why has the City Lord suddenly come to the Wei Family?"

"City Lord rarely shows her face. Even Qian Family Patriarch has to schedule an appointment in advance if he wants to see her."

"Indeed! But why has the City Lord come to the Wei Family? Could it be that she heard about the Donglin City Martial Artists causing trouble at the Wei Family and came to see what’s happening?"

"What a joke! That’s impossible. Unless it’s the Jing Family from Donglin City sending a large force to sweep over the Wei Family, the City Lord wouldn’t bother to intervene over such a trivial matter."

"..."

Whether it was the Wei Family or the higher-ups from other clans, all were perplexed.

Why would the City Lord, who seemingly controlled all of Duyang City, suddenly appear at the Wei Family?

"Wei Jiuhe, pays respects to the City Lord!"

"Qian Feng, greets the Lord!"

"..."

All the Innate Realm experts present paid their respects to Bai Xue. As for Martial Artists who had not reached the Innate Realm, they didn’t have the qualifications to speak with City Lord Bai Xue at all.

Qian Feng was very displeased because if it wasn’t for the City Lord’s interference, his Poison Sand Palm would have succeeded, and Jing Yan should be dead by now. But Jing Yan was still standing there unharmed.

"Damn it!" Qian Feng was annoyed in his heart, but he kept his head down, not daring to show his dissatisfaction.

"Qian Feng, I just told you to stop. Are you deaf?" Bai Xue didn’t pay attention to the rituals of the crowd but looked at Qian Feng with an icy tone.

"Ah?" Qian Feng was startled.

Before City Lord Bai Xue had shouted, his Poison Sand Palm Seal was already struck. Even if he wanted to stop, it was impossible. Didn’t Bai Xue City Lord know that? How could a Dao Spirit Realm expert not be aware of this? But why then, would she say such a thing?

Qian Feng, stunned, looked at Bai Xue with confusion written all over his face.

The others were equally puzzled! They all knew Bai Xue City Lord’s cold and aloof character, who was generally detached towards everything, and it was rare for anyone to see her angry. But now, she directly accused Elder Qian Feng of being deaf, showing not an ounce of respect for the Qian Family Elder.

Qian Feng was also a powerful expert in the Innate Peak Realm. In all of Duyang City, his strength could certainly rank in the top ten. Yet City Lord Bai Xue showed no consideration for this and even seemed to be deliberately finding fault with Qian Feng.

Wei Jiuhe’s brows were also tightly knit.

"Could it be that City Lord Bai Xue is displeased because of the Donglin City Martial Artists causing trouble in Duyang City, and she intends to personally kill this little brat Jing Yan? Is that why she was so angry when Elder Qian Feng acted against Jing Yan?" Wei Jiuhe turned this thought over in his mind, otherwise, he couldn’t find any reason for City Lord Bai Xue’s fury.

Nian Lan and several others, though puzzled, felt a sneaking joy in their hearts.

How domineering was Elder Qian Feng just now? Now, in the presence of the City Lord, he must behave obediently, not daring to show the slightest defiance – how deserving!

Nian Lan’s mouth curled into a smirk, holding back the urge to laugh aloud.

"City Lord, is there something inappropriate with my actions? As an elder of the first family of Duyang City, the Qian Family, my outrage towards this young troublemaker from Duyang City led me to strike him down, and I did it to uphold the dignity of Duyang City. Why would you prevent me from killing this thief?" No matter what, Qian Feng was still a highly respected elder of the Qian Family. Being scolded by Bai Xue in front of everyone, he felt extreme dissatisfaction.

So, he asked with an unhappy tone.

"Qian Feng, do I need a reason to tell you to stop? I have my reasons, do I need to explain them to you?" Bai Xue’s icy tone seemed to lower the nearby air temperature considerably.

"The dignity of Duyang City, it needs you to uphold it?" Bai Xue’s eyes fixed on Qian Feng.

Everyone could sense the extreme displeasure that City Lord Bai Xue had towards Qian Feng.

"Jing Yan, are you alright?" Bai Xue then turned to Jing Yan and asked.

Though her tone remained cold, everyone’s eyes widened because they could hear a hint of concern in City Lord Bai Xue’s voice.

What was going on?

What was this situation?

Bai Xue City Lord, concerned for this young Martial Artist from Donglin City? Could it be that the two knew each other? But how could a young Martial Artist from the Jing Family of Donglin City and the City Lord of Duyang City have any connection?

"Thank you for your concern, City Lord. I am fine," Jing Yan smiled and replied to Bai Xue City Lord.

"Good," Bai Xue nodded lightly.

By this time, even a fool could see that City Lord Bai Xue wasn’t there to kill Jing Yan but to save him. Would Bai Xue City Lord ask Jing Yan if he was okay if she wanted him dead?

The Wei Family, including Wei Jiuhe, felt their hearts sink.

And Qian Feng’s old face was even more expressive. He looked at Bai Xue City Lord and then at Jing Yan, his mind in chaos.

"I just heard about your visit to the Wei Family, so I came to see what was happening. That one, is she the person you were looking for?" Bai Xue paused and then asked Jing Yan, stretching out her fair, slender finger to point at Liu Xiaoyue standing beside Nian Lan.

Ever since Jing Yan burst into the Wei Family, quite some time had passed. Although the vast majority of the Wei Family hadn’t left the Martial Arts Arena, with so many Wei Family Disciples and guards, it was inevitable that a small part left the Wei Family Mansion, or quietly spread the word.

A young Martial Artist breaking into the Wei Family Mansion to demand a person – this news was certainly explosive. Therefore, once the news got out, it quickly spread throughout all of Duyang City and naturally reached the ears of City Lord Bai Xue.

Upon hearing the name Jing Yan, Bai Xue immediately recalled it and rushed over.

"Yes, her name is Liu Xiaoyue. She was captured by the Wei Family, which is why I had to come to the Wei Family," Jing Yan also looked at Liu Xiaoyue, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness.
