You ask, and I shall answer?
There is a necessity to answer. Although Chu Dong is the city lord of a small city, he is still the lord of a city.
He felt he had seen much of the world, but upon seeing Xia Feng today, he realized he was but a frog in a well. It turned out there were already those with the perfected Saint Emperor realm of strength in this world.
Perfected Saint Emperor, what kind of concept was this? It was beyond words to describe his current feelings.
Chu Dong hurriedly nodded, "Good, good, good, you ask, you ask."
Chu Dong's reaction stunned everyone around him.
Just moments ago, Chu Dong had been full of imposing might, but after seeing Xia Feng, why had he become so obedient and submissive?
In truth, nobody fully understood why.
It was because of Chu Dong's shocked demeanor that everyone was deeply perplexed.
These people, not knowing Xia Feng's strength, were all quite confused.
Regardless of anything else, Chu Dong was at the late Saint Venerable stage. In their eyes, he was an invincible existence, yet now, before a young man, he was as humble as a dog.
They could only sigh; they truly didn't understand the world of the great figures.
The reason Xia Feng directly revealed his strength to Chu Dong was that he didn't want any unnecessary trouble. He wanted to get it done in one go.
Just like now, Chu Dong stood honestly before him, ready to answer any question asked.
Xia Feng looked at Chu Dong and asked, "Were your injuries caused by the ghost the city speaks of?"
"Yes, it was the entity spoken of in the city," Chu Dong replied truthfully, not daring to hide anything.
"What exactly is this thing? Tell me in detail." Xia Feng gestured for Chu Dong to elaborate.
"I cannot describe it in detail. It is a mass of mist. When I fought it, I couldn't even feel its physical form, yet its power was immense. It should be at the perfected Saint Venerable stage."
Chu Dong recounted the events of that day to Xia Feng.
While that day had been a terrifying night for Chu Dong, in front of Xia Feng, it was truly nothing.
Now that Xia Feng was inquiring about this matter, it meant Xia Feng was interested.
If Xia Feng were to act, that ghost would have no chance of escape.
Xia Feng was a genuine perfected Saint Emperor; killing that ghost would likely be as simple as crushing an ant.
"Alright," Xia Feng nodded.
Seeing that Xia Feng remained silent, Chu Dong thought he wasn't interested in the ghost. This was the only chance to resolve the safety issue of Ascended City. Chu Dong did not want to miss it. He immediately knelt on the ground, begging in a pleading manner, and cried out loudly:
"I implore the Saint Emperor to act and save the citizens from this calamity. Due to this ghost, normal life in the city has been disrupted, and many citizens have already died."
Chu Dong, as the city lord of Ascended City, was incapable of solving the problem. Moreover, the ghost's power was formidable. Even if external help were sought, no one would be willing to undertake such a thankless task.
Even a perfected Saint Venerable might not be a match for the ghost. What if two were invited? Others would not dare to take such a risk.
Furthermore, who would bother with such a minor issue in this small city?
Chu Dong was different. He had grown up here, and everyone here was his family.
Now that the city's predicament could not be resolved, he was also troubled.
Therefore, Xia Feng's appearance was his only hope, and the only chance for Ascended City to overcome this crisis.
Xia Feng looked at Chu Dong, who was kneeling on the ground, and beckoned him, "Get up. Since I am here, I will resolve this as a side task. Wait until nightfall, and then you can take me out."
"Yes, thank you, Saint Emperor, for your assistance." Chu Dong's face lit up with surprise, and the cloud of worry on his face vanished.
As for everyone beside him, they exchanged bewildered glances, completely stunned.
Putting aside the City Lord's subservient demeanor, which was like that of a dog, and his kneeling,
But this young man, a Saint Emperor???
Had such young Saint Emperors appeared in the Saint Realm?
