Chapter 57 The City Lord Arrives!

  The prestige of Zhao Xi, the master of Longshen Daochang, was still very high. As soon as he appeared, even Qiao Long, who hated Qin Zhengyi the most, did not dare to say anything and retreated to the side obediently.

  "We'll sit down and talk." Zhao Xi said.

  Two people sit opposite each other.

  As for others, they didn't leave either, all of them perked up their ears and listened.

  "The host is also here because of the matter of Zhuang Daojing, right?" Qin Zheng took the initiative to speak.

  "Ah, I've already received the news. Someone came to visit, so I was delayed for a bit before coming over." Zhao Xi nodded, "I know young people all have a heroic spirit, but recklessness is not acceptable. Your potential is great, and your future is boundless. If you were to die due to a moment's impulse, it wouldn't be worth it."

  Qin Zheng couldn't help but say that Zhao Xi's approach had won him over.

  For Longshendao, Qin Zheng wins, loses 10 million gold coins; Qin Zheng does not win, loses face.

  A million gold coins and the face of Longshendao are compared, naturally, the face is more important.

  Once losing face, how can the Dragon and Lion Club stand firm, how will people look at it, how to recruit masters, and with the deliberate humiliation and suppression of the City Master's Mansion and the Zhou family, it is extremely unfavorable.

  However, Zhao Xi chose to support Qin Zheng and avoid fighting to preserve his life.

  "Thank you, Master. As a member of the sect, I cannot let our reputation be tarnished for my personal sake." Qin Zheng said seriously, "I will fight!"

  "Are you certain?" Zhao Xi asked again.

  "Confirmed!"

  Qin Zheng answered very concisely.

  Qiao Long beside him heard this and gave a thumbs up, "Qin Zheng, I admire you, you really have guts, you're a man!"

  The words sound pleasant, but what shines through in his eyes is a mocking schadenfreude.

  "Shut up!" Zhao Xi angrily rebuked.

  Qiao Long wasn't afraid either, and with a smile, he gave Qin Zheng a thumbs up.

  Qin Zheng just gave Qiao Long a faint glance, "Sect Master, for the next few days, I'd like to focus on my cultivation, so please don't let some petty people disturb me."

  "No one will disturb you." Zhao Xi naturally agreed, "Whatever you need, just say it."

  "I don't need anything..." Qin Zheng said.

  At this time someone rushed in.

  Everyone's eyes were cast over there, and the newcomer was a reserve martial artist from the Dao field, also a master of great achievement in the realm of Li Wu, who would have the opportunity to become a master of the realm of Qi Wu later on.

  "The Lord of the Way has arrived, the City Master is here."

  When he heard that the city master had arrived, a cold glint flashed in Zhao Xi's eyes.

  Everyone knows that this is to mock and ridicule Longshendao.

  Qin Zheng's heart skipped a beat, an idea crept up, he quietly looked at her without saying anything.

  "Let him go and wait for me." Zhao Xi said.

  "Haha, never mind, the city master is here."

  A loud and coarse laughter came from outside.

  The people at the gate automatically parted a path, and the white and chubby, small-eyed, smiling city master Luo Yingjie walked in from outside.

  Although the three-legged tripod is standing, the three major forces are enemies of each other, but on the surface they still maintain their dignity.

  Luo Yingjie was indeed ill-intentioned, but after all, he was the city master, appointed by the Great Flame Empire.

  "The lord of the castle has arrived, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar." Zhao Xi said.

  "No need to welcome me, no need to welcome me." Luo Yingjie waved his hand, "I know you're definitely not happy in your heart, we're old friends, why bother welcoming me, right?"

  Zhao Xi replied calmly: "I don't understand what you mean by that, Lord. What is it that I'm not satisfied with?"

  "Cut the act, who doesn't know that you not only arranged for someone to challenge me, but also gave them a million gold coins? Are you trying to be generous on Zhao Xi's behalf?"

  "Hmph, the city master is too confident, the duel has yet to begin, and victory or defeat are still uncertain." Zhao Xi Feng coldly smiled and said.

  "Haha, Daozhu, don't pretend anymore, everyone understands." Luo Yingjie looked at Zhao Xifeng's gloomy old face, feeling indescribably pleased. He turned his head and looked at Qin Zheng, "You're Qin Zheng, what a pity. If you had followed me, you wouldn't have been sent to your death like this."

  Zhao Xi's face turned even uglier.

  Seeing the lord Luo Yingjie's eccentricity, Qin Zheng's mind became even more determined and said: "Lord of the city, I have an interesting proposal, I wonder if the Lord is interested."

  "I'm a person who's most interested in interesting things, come and listen." Luo Yingjie laughed, his eyes almost disappeared, only a face full of white fat trembling.

  "It's just that I want to make a bet with the city master," said Qin Zheng.

  "Make a bet? What kind of bet." Luo Yingjie's smile didn't change, but the aura around him underwent a subtle transformation, revealing his seriousness.

  Qin Zheng smiled and said: "I will have a match with Zhuang Daojing, if I lose, I will give this martial art to the master." He said, taking out a scroll and placing it on the table.

  "Ordinarily, I wouldn't give martial arts a second glance." Luo Yingjie said proudly.

  Qin Zheng unrolled the scroll.

  Luo Yingjie rolled his eyes and looked at the scroll, waiting to see the name of the martial skill recorded inside. His face changed instantly, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Panshi Fist!"

  Zhao Xi Feng and others from the Dragon Lion Fist Sect also revealed a look of surprise.

  This Bouldering Fist was found by Qin Zheng in the spatial pouch of Yun Dongyang. For Qin Zheng, the strongest East Sea Stacked Wave Fist of the East Sea Royal Manor could kill the Bouldering Fist many times over, and he looked down on the East Sea Stacked Wave Fist many times over, so this kind of martial skill was completely not in his eyes.

  It would be a different story if it could be placed in Lingluo City.

  The good martial arts in Pingnan Wangfu were all top-notch for them.

  "Let me see." Luo Yingjie reached out and grabbed it.

  Qin Zheng picked it up casually and said, "Is the city master going to rob me?"

  "Alright, what's your bet?" Luo Yingjie withdrew his hand, his eyes still fixed intently on the stone fist scroll.

  "I'm sure the city lord has a lot of dragon scales in his hands, if he can take out enough quantity, I can bet with the city lord once." Qin Zheng thought of the matter of dragon scales when he heard that the city lord Luo Yingjie had arrived.

  If he wins the duel with Zhuang Daojing and gets the gold coins, will Luo Yingjie still sell Longlin?

  To know if Luo Yingjie is short of money or not, he wouldn't sell what his enemy wants even if he's a fool.

  So Qin Zheng thought of this method to obtain Long Lin's dragon scales.

  "You're quite confident." Luo Yingjie wasn't stupid.

  "If we're going to fight, we should give ourselves some confidence, especially in a life-or-death battle. If we lose, our lives will be gone, and these things won't have any meaning." Qin Zheng waved the Panguan Fist scroll in front of Luo Yingjie, "Of course, if the city is afraid, then forget it."

  Luo Yingjie sneered, "What am I afraid of? You Qin Zheng are just at the initial stage of Qi Wu Realm. Even if you have some trump card that allows you to jump two levels and defeat a high-level Qi Wu Realm cultivator like Dao Jing, what's the big deal? Besides, Dao Jing isn't even an ordinary martial artist. Killing you is as easy as pie. I'm betting on it."

  Qin Zheng smiled lightly and said, "The city master must bring out enough dragon scales to make it worthwhile. If there's only a little, I'm not even interested in betting. In that case, this Panshi Fist scroll can only be given to our Dao Master."

  "I have only seventy dragon scales in my hand, is it enough?" Luo Yingjie said.

  How many dragon scales there were, Yan Tingyu had estimated before.

  Those five-clawed golden dragons were carved inside the divine furnace after all, so they weren't very big, and their scales wouldn't be too many either.

  Moreover, the dragon scales exploded, and there must be many that were not recovered. Some may have left Luo City long ago. What they want is to get as many dragon scales as possible. If they can gather two or three hundred, it will be enough.

  "One hundred pieces, not one less." Qin Zheng said.

  "Alright, then it's a hundred." Luo Yingjie didn't hesitate for a moment.

  "This gamble has succeeded!" Qin Zheng said.

  "Alright, in five days, if you die in battle, the Pinnacle Fist will be mine." Luo Yingjie laughed as he looked at Zhao Xifeng, " Sect Master, you're a witness, prepare the Pinnacle Fist for me, haha..."

  Laughing loudly, Luo Yingjie left.

  He left, and Qiao Long and others stared at the stone fist scroll with shining eyes.

  "Everyone get out, no one is allowed to disturb Qin's cultivation."

  Qiao Long and others saw Zhao Xi's cold face and didn't dare say anything. They left, looking back three times with each step.

  Finally, Zhao Xi looked deeply at Qin Zheng and also left.

  Everyone has left, Yan Tingyu said: "You're doing this without fear of the Zhou family finding out and making adjustments to the odds again."

  "No way, you think Luo Yingjie dared to agree, is it completely confident in Zhuang Daojing?" Qin Zheng smiled and said, "He used a special eye technique to observe my boundary, determined that I was just at the beginning of the Qi Wu boundary, this is why he agreed. In his opinion, I am nothing more than possibly having a trump card to play once, but only with the strength of one move, fundamentally unable to win. The Zhou family will definitely be able to guess it too, and may even collude with Luo Yingjie, together to sabotage Longshendao once."

  "This is also possible." Yan Lianyu thought for a moment, and indeed, Qin Zheng's blood energy concealed his boundary, making it impossible to detect. Unlike Zhuang Daojing, who had a special eye technique that could see through the true boundary even if it was hidden.

  Qin Zheng smiled and said: "Didn't you say that if we can gather two or three hundred dragon scales, we can find the mystery from them?"

  "Hmm, in my estimation, with three hundred coins, I'm sure we can discover its secrets." said Yan Tingyu.

  "That's easy, we have over thirty, and Luo Yingjie has a hundred, just short of over a hundred, I'll go get them now." Qin Zheng said.

  "Ah? Where did you get it?" asked Yan Tingyu.

  Qin Zheng smiled and said: "The three major forces of Lingluo City, the city master's mansion has over a hundred, the Longshen dojo has more than thirty, that Zhou family should also have quite a few."

  Yan listened to the rain and stared at Qin Zheng for a while before saying: "You're really shameless!"

  "This is called wisdom." Qin Zheng said with a smile.

  "Will the Zhou family agree? With Luo Yingjie's example in front of them, they won't easily agree, right?" Yan Tingyu murmured to herself, feeling that it wasn't reliable.

  Qin Zheng smiled and said: "I'll go, definitely won't work."

  Swallow listened to the rain and said: "Do you want me to go?"

  "You're even less capable, I don't want such a pretty little girl to be thrown into the wolf's mouth." Qin Zheng pinched Yan Tingyu's nose.

  "You have a bit of conscience." Yanzhi listened to him with a glance, "But what can you do to make the Zhou family agree?"

  Qin Zheng smiled mysteriously and said, "I have a way."
