"Come, arrest Qian Dafu and send him back to Jiulong Town for the villagers to deal with!" Lu Fan's expression was cold, with a hint of murderous intent.
No one dared to delay. Even the City Lord of Jiulong was willing to be arrested, let alone a mere town mayor. He was insignificant.
"King of the Northwest, what should we do next?" Steward Wu cupped his fists and said, "We have offended you before. I hope you won't take it to heart!"
"You are not qualified to speak to me!" Lu Fan glanced at him with arrogance. He was already extremely displeased with the events that had transpired in the entire Northwest.
Steward Wu froze, his face instantly turning awkward. He didn't say anything more. Since Lu Fan had already said this, if he continued to blabber, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
After dealing with these matters, Lu Fan went to the Dragon City's accounting office and found that it had collected a large amount of spirit stones, enough to form a golden mountain.
However, as the City Lord of Dragon City had said, eighty percent of the spirit stones were sent to the King of the Northwest's mansion. This was probably why the City Lord of Dragon City was so defiant.
It was a pity that he hadn't realized that he had encountered Lu Fan, not some previous King of the Northwest who wouldn't care about such things.
As night fell, Liu Ruyan looked at Lu Fan and asked, "How do you plan to deal with the City Lord of Dragon City?"
"Keep him locked up here for now. After I return to the Northwest Mansion, I will interrogate him thoroughly!" Lu Fan said coldly. "If the other city lords are also like this, I will absolutely not let it go!"
Liu Ruyan nodded. She agreed with what Lu Fan had said earlier. After all, the situation was different now. If the City Lord of Dragon City did such a thing, other city lords might also be acting in the same way. Su Dan Fiction Network
As night fell, Steward Wu went into the dungeon and looked at the City Lord of Dragon City. "My Lord City Lord, I think that King of the Northwest is just a young pup, not worth mentioning. Why do you have to wrong yourself? If you had directly killed him, wouldn't you have been at ease?"
"Are you an idiot?" the City Lord of Dragon City said coldly. "This brat was sent by the Heavenly Court, and he was able to become the King of the Northwest, so he must have a great identity. If I had attacked him directly, how could I have escaped?"
"What does Your Lord mean?" Steward Wu was slightly taken aback.
"When he leaves Dragon City, I will have my own way to deal with him!" the City Lord of Dragon City narrowed his eyes. "This brat is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. He thinks that just because he is the King of the Northwest, he can do whatever he wants. I will teach him a good lesson!"
"My Lord, this matter should not be blown out of proportion!"
Steward Wu quickly said, "You don't really intend to kill the King of the Northwest, do you?"
"If he stays, he will only affect us. So why keep him!" the King of the Northwest sneered, his eyes gleaming with a cold light, as if he didn't take this matter seriously at all.
Steward Wu was slightly stunned and didn't say anything more. At this point, Lu Fan's actions were suicidal, and he had nothing else to say.
The next morning, Lu Fan led his entourage away. They were heading to the King of the Northwest's mansion to officially take up his post. From then on, no matter what decisions he made, someone would help him carry them out, which would save him a lot of trouble.
As soon as Lu Fan and the others left the city, the City Lord of Dragon City appeared, a smile on his face and a faint cold glint in his eyes.
Steward Wu's expression turned somber. He could tell that the City Lord of Dragon City intended to make a move. Attacking the King of the Northwest was definitely not a joke. If it attracted the attention of the Heavenly Court, it would surely bring trouble.
Not long after, the City Lord of Dragon City arrived at a mountain range. Within this mountain range was a sect, and within the sect, many disciples were flying and moving with great agility, appearing quite ethereal.
Upon closer inspection, the sect had several large characters written in front of it: Tian Long Sect.
The City Lord of Dragon City stopped in mid-air, slowly picked up a flute, and began to play. Each note emitted a powerful aura that touched people.
After a while, a white-haired old man arrived late. He looked at the City Lord of Dragon City with a hint of confusion. "Why has the City Lord of Dragon City come in person? For what purpose?"
"Old Bai, long time no see!"
The City Lord of Dragon City smiled. "It seems you are doing well in the Tian Long Sect. Your complexion has improved."
"The Tian Long Sect is a major sect in the entire Northwest. It is natural that I am doing well!" Old Bai smiled slightly. "But you played the flute and led me here. Do you have something for me to do?"
"That's right, I want you to kill someone!" the City Lord of Dragon City said with a smile. "If you succeed, I will give you plenty of spirit stones, even more than last time. What do you say?"
"The person you wanted me to kill last time had an extraordinary identity. This time, the spirit stones are even more than last time, which means this person's identity is even greater than the previous one?" Old Bai narrowed his eyes. "Are you overestimating my abilities?"
Faced with these words, the City Lord of Dragon City smiled and said, "Don't worry. That person's strength is not strong. Even I can easily deal with him. However, he does have a certain identity. He came from the capital and was enfeoffed as a king with a different surname, that is, the King of the entire Northwest!"
"King of the Northwest!"
Old Bai frowned. "I'm afraid I can't take this job. This is not a trivial matter. If I act rashly, and the Heavenly Court investigates, even the Tian Long Sect might be implicated!"
"Don't pretend, old man. You would do anything for spirit stones!" the City Lord of Dragon City said with a smile. "How about this? After you complete the task, I'll give you three times more than last time. You know I never lie and will never cheat you!"
"Three times!"
Old Bai was stunned, his eyes moved. He had been stuck at a bottleneck recently. If he could use the spirit stones, he might be able to break through. This was an opportunity for him.
"That's right, do you dare to do it?" the City Lord of Dragon City asked directly, his words were not evasive at all.
"Since you've said so, it would be impolite of me not to accept!" Old Bai nodded. "However, one thing must be made clear. If something really happens, you must take responsibility for it, otherwise, I will not let you off. You should also know that this is how I do things!"
"Don't worry, I understand this point quite well!" the City Lord of Dragon City nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face, as if he didn't care at all.
