1008 The Confrontation Between Two Cities, Not Giving In

“City lord of Tianxing, it seems like your scheme this time was in vain. You’d better obediently stay at the bottom,” Lin Hongfeng said without any mercy.

After all, when Tianxing’s city lord chose him to be the soft persimmon to pinch, both sides had shed all pretenses of cordiality. If he were to lose, then the words of Tianxing’s city lord would probably be even more unpleasant.

However, after defeating Ghost Monkey King and Tianxing’s city lord, the situation did not change for the better for Lin Hongfeng. In the eyes of the public, besides Tianxing, which had always been at the bottom, Tianhe was the weakest.

Tianxing’s share was the smallest, so defeating them wouldn’t get Tianhe any more shares. However, Lin Hongfeng was different. Tianhe was originally ranked in the middle. If they defeated him, they could replace his ranking and obtain more shares.

!!
As such, they all chose to challenge Lin Hongfeng, whose cultivation base was only at the early stages of the Divine Abilities Stage. Those who came to challenge him were all experienced Divines. Unlike Ghost Monkey King, who had made some mistakes in his cultivation, they were naturally stronger than Lin Hongfeng.

Only once did Lin Hongfeng tie with the other party, but that city’s ranking was still below them. Even if he defeated the other party, it was impossible to get more shares.

Tianhe, which was weak but had a good ranking, was naturally a target in the eyes of many people.

Lin Hongfeng could tell at a glance that most of those Divines were much stronger than him and that he could not deal with them at all. Therefore, he simply admitted defeat. As he admitted defeat, his ranking continued to fall, and soon, he fell to the last three.

At this point, no one challenged Lin Hongfeng anymore because it was not necessary. It would be a waste of time and energy.

Even if someone had a grudge against Lin Hongfeng and wanted to take the opportunity to cripple him, Lin Hongfeng would not make a move and simply admitted defeat.

They couldn’t do anything because of the rules. After all, this rule was set by everyone and it was impossible to break it openly.

Tianxing’s city lord glared at Lin Hongfeng fiercely. Seeing that Lin Hongfeng’s ranking had also fallen, he was extremely happy.

Only Lin Hongfeng looked at the experts who were constantly fighting in the ring with a livid expression. These people treated him as a soft persimmon. After using him, they kicked him away. His ranking continued to fall and his share also continued to decrease. The benefits he lost in the process made him feel like his heart was bleeding.

But no matter how angry he was, it was useless. No one cared about them anymore.

“When will Mr. Chu get back?” Lin Hongfeng suppressed the anger in his heart and asked his daughter, Lin Chenxi, next to him.

“I don’t know either. Master didn’t say where he went. He only said he was going out for a stroll.” Lin Chenxi’s face revealed a bitter smile. At this time, it could be said that it was the most critical moment, but her master was nowhere to be seen.

“Haoren, send someone to find Mr. Chu. Don’t alert the others,” Lin Hongfeng ordered.

“Understood.” Lin Haoren quickly turned around and exited the ring.

Lin Hongfeng looked livid. His original estimation had been too optimistic. He thought that with his strength, it would not be difficult to maintain Tianhe’s current share. Who knew that it was not the case at all.

He had only just entered the Divine Abilities Stage, so it was not difficult for him to defeat Ghost Monkey King. However, against the others, he was far from being able to do so.

Originally, he only wanted Chu Yunfan to hold the line for him, but now it seemed that Chu Yunfan had to do it. Thinking of Chu Yunfan’s demonic strength, he suddenly felt that there was hope. These people might be very strong, but compared to Chu Yunfan, they were far too weak.

What Innate? What Divine? He had personally seen Chu Yunfan kill another Divine with a single slap. That kind of terrifying power had left a deep impression in his heart.

He believed that as long as Chu Yunfan appeared, the situation would surely turn around.

Originally, Lin Hongfeng didn’t want to be in the limelight. After losing the protection of the Fluttering Blooms, Tianhe could be said to have entered an unprecedented period of decline, and Chu Yunfan couldn’t possibly stay in Tianhe forever.

He just wanted to keep his share and wait for his cultivation to improve.

But now, each and every one of these people was treating him as a soft persimmon, not giving him a way out at all. Each and every one of them wanted to step on him to rise up.

‘Don’t blame me for being impolite. Just you wait. You’ll all regret it when Mr. Chu returns!’

At this time, no one noticed Lin Hongfeng’s expression and were all looking at the ring.

The Divines took turns fighting each other, which made the audience extremely satisfied, because not everyone could see Divines fight.

Finally, after many experts took turns to attack, the main event of the competition arrived. It was the battle between Taining and Tuoshan that would decide the outcome of the conference.

Beside the city lord of Taining, a thin old man entered and said, “I’ve been watching for so long. It’s time to stretch these old bones!”

The appearance of this old man caused the atmosphere of the entire ring to freeze over. The weaker experts didn’t even consider making a move because this old man was the great expert who had always been ranked as the number one expert in Taining City, Xu Long.

In the nearby cities, there was not a single person who did not know him.

Seeing that no one dared to come forward, Xu Long’s face showed a satisfied smile. This kind of prestige was built up through countless battles.

In recent times, no one dared to challenge his authority. The other cities had to compete for their positions and rankings. However, the number one position in Taining had been acknowledged by almost everyone.

“Since no one has come out to challenge my city, then according to the rules, Taining will take first place. According to the rules, the mine will continue to be managed by Taining,” Zhou Buyi announced.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, Lu Shuzhou, the city lord of Tuoshan, spoke up.

Everyone’s breathing stopped for a moment. Everyone knew that the real collision was about to begin.

“What’s wrong? Do you have any objections to this result, Lord Liu?” Zhou Buyi said.

“Lord Zhou, in the past, it has always been your city that was in charge of the mine because you were the strongest. I have no objection to that. However, the situation is different this year. Since we’re going to divide the shares according to strength, I think Tuoshan should also have the right to be in charge of the mine,” Lu Shuzhou said.

Facing Zhou Buyi’s sharp gaze, Lu Shuzhou didn’t back down.
