Chapter 1288 1287: Leaving Thousand Dragon City

Three days later, the Lu family from Qiushui City, the Xu family from Celestial Wind City, and the runaway Qin Ying, worried about the safety of their sons Qin Huang and Qin Jun, sent a large number of cultivators to rebuild Thousand Dragon City, along with massive compensation in gold coins.

Reconstruction of Thousand Dragon City and compensation for the casualties are proceeding in an orderly manner.

Unexpectedly, the Gongsun family from Liufeng City did not send people to rebuild Thousand Dragon City, nor did they send compensation in gold coins.

Inside the City Lord's mansion hall, Lin Fei, Qin Yunyue, Yuan Yuxi, and Qin Zimo sat drinking tea and chatting.

Qin Yunyue looked at Lin Fei and said, "Lin Fei, you said you've sent Leng Ying to Huaxia to fetch Ruyan, Ruoxi, Qiansong Yixue, Li Qing, Xie Wenbo, and Yiting. Do you know when they will arrive on the Holy Dragon Continent?"

Lin Fei said, "I think they will arrive soon, and I've already spoken to Qiu Qiming of Ten Thousand Swords City. He will assist them to come to Thousand Dragon City upon their arrival in Ten Thousand Swords City."

Qin Yunyue nodded, knowing that having Qiu Qiming's support in Ten Thousand Swords City would minimize any problems.

At that moment, footsteps were heard as someone walked in from outside, and everyone turned their eyes to see Ouyang Stone.

Ouyang Stone entered and immediately cupped his fists towards Lin Fei, saying, "City Lord, it's been three days, yet the Gongsun family still hasn't sent people to rebuild Thousand Dragon City or delivered the compensatory gold coins. It seems the Gongsun family does not intend to fulfill their promise?"

Lin Fei slightly furrowed his brow and said, "Since the Gongsun family won't fulfill the promise, I guess I'll have to make a trip to Liufeng City myself."

Then Lin Fei, as if recalled something, asked Ouyang Stone, "By the way, have the spies sent to Panlong City found any trace of Qin Ying?"

Ouyang Stone reported, "Our spies returned with the news that after Qin Ying dispatched a large number of people and sent compensatory gold coins, he vanished without a trace. Now, our spies can't ascertain if Qin Ying is in Panlong City or has already left."

Lin Fei nodded, understanding that Qin Ying was hiding, likely afraid of Lin Fei's revenge.

Certainly, Lin Fei would eventually capture Qin Ying back to Thousand Dragon City, as Qin Ying allied with three other city lords to bring disaster to Thousand Dragon City.

So Lin Fei would never let Qin Ying escape justice.

"To be on the safe side, I'll leave two people to help you. This way, even if Qin Ying tries to cause trouble in Thousand Dragon City, you can handle it." Lin Fei, coming up with an idea, said to Ouyang Stone.

Ouyang Stone, seeing Lin Fei plan to leave Thousand Dragon City, indeed felt worried that Qin Ying might return to cause huge casualties to Thousand Dragon City again.

But with Lin Fei saying he would leave two people to prevent Qin Ying, Ouyang Stone couldn't guess who Lin Fei would leave.

It's apparent that of the people around Lin Fei, including Qin Yunyue, Qin Zimo, and Yuan Yuxi, none have the strength to confront Qin Ying.

"City Lord, who are the two people you plan to leave behind?" Ouyang Stone asked curiously.

Lin Fei said, "I'll leave Lu Shen and Xu Hong to assist you."

Ouyang Stone's face showed surprise and he said, "Leaving Lu Shen and Xu Hong to help us?"

"Yes, their strength is comparable to Qin Ying's, enough to resist him. Of course, to ensure Lu Shen and Xu Hong listen and fight against Qin Ying, I'll have to use some measures." Lin Fei said confidently.

Lu Shen and Xu Hong were kept by Lin Fei in the Devil's Tower, their life and death controlled by Lin Fei.

They had destroyed numerous buildings in Thousand Dragon City, causing casualties in the thousands, so Lin Fei wouldn't let them off easily.

They are to guard Thousand Dragon City, though to prevent any trickery by them, Lin Fei planned to use the method he used against Qin Fen on Lu Shen and Xu Hong.

That is, to seal their meridians with mysterious powers, making them aware their lives remain under Lin Fei's control, dissuading them from plotting anything else.

"Come, let's head to the front courtyard square." Lin Fei stood up from his chair and looked at Ouyang Stone, Qin Yunyue, and others.

Ouyang Stone, carrying doubts, followed Lin Fei and the others out of the mansion.

The front courtyard is the largest square in the City Lord's mansion. Since Lin Fei's battle with the four city lords three days ago, which ended with three city lords and two Qin family sons imprisoned in the Devil's Tower, Lin Fei has kept the Devil's Tower on the square.

Because the Devil's Tower is fully under Lin Fei's control, he has no worries that Gongsun Zhong and others could escape from it.

Moreover, the Devil's Tower standing in the City Lord's Mansion also serves as a deterrent to the cultivators coming from Panlong City, Liufeng City, Qiushui City, and Celestial Wind City.

Lin Fei waved his hand at the Devil's Tower, and an arc of light landed on the tower door, promptly opening it.

"Lu Shen, Xu Hong, come out." Lin Fei called towards the Devil's Tower door.

Then, two figures emerged from the Devil's Tower, Lu Shen and Xu Hong.

"City Lord Lin." Lu Shen and Xu Hong saw Lin Fei, their faces showing respect, speaking reverently.

Lin Fei said, "Your Qiushui City and Celestial Wind City sent tens of thousands of cultivators and brought compensatory gold coins to rebuild Thousand Dragon City as I requested, so I am releasing you.

However, after being released, there's a matter I need you to handle."

Lu Shen and Xu Hong exchanged glances, then together replied to Lin Fei, "City Lord Lin, whatever you need us to do, please instruct us."

Lin Fei said, "I wish for you to assist the nine Patriarchs, including the Ouyang Patriarch, in defending Thousand Dragon City against Qin Ying's potential attack."

Lu Shen and Xu Hong showed a slight surprise on their faces, not expecting Lin Fei to trust them with this task.

They made secret plans in their hearts, as Lin Fei had released them and tasked them with defending Thousand Dragon City—perhaps indicating Lin Fei intended to leave the city for a while.

This could provide them the opportunity to escape.

Thus, the two promised Lin Fei together, "City Lord Lin, rest assured! We will certainly aid the Ouyang Patriarch in defending Thousand Dragon City, ensuring Qin Ying can't cause trouble again."

"Very well, I hope you mean what you say." As Lin Fei finished speaking, a brilliance flashed in his eyes, then he flicked his fingers.

A piercing sound broke the air, extremely sharp. Two streams of air shot out swiftly, like lightning, hitting Lu Shen and Xu Hong's meridians before they could react.

Lu Shen and Xu Hong's facial expressions changed, their brows furrowed—they hadn't anticipated Lin Fei's deft attack, nor the ferocity of the air streams.

The air streams struck their meridians like a thunderbolt, bringing an indescribable scorching sensation.

Lin Fei explained calmly, "I've imbued power into your meridians. You will remain unharmed for a month as long as you honestly guard Thousand Dragon City. If you do as instructed, I will remove the power from your meridians after a month.

However, should any ulterior motives arise in my absence, the power planted in your meridians will cause your bodies to explode in a month."

Lu Shen and Xu Hong's faces turned extremely pale, their eyes revealing undeniable fear. Together they replied to Lin Fei, "City Lord Lin, rest assured. We will definitely protect Thousand Dragon City and dare not harbor any ill intentions."

Lin Fei nodded, then released a sphere of light from his hand that struck the Devil's Tower.

The Devil's Tower door immediately shut, and as Lin Fei's light was released, it transformed into a sphere and flew into Lin Fei's storage ring.

Then, Lin Fei, along with Qin Yunyue, Yuan Yuxi, and others, flew away from the City Lord's Mansion.
