Chapter 3778: Xi Shanyue

“Grandpa!” Jing Mumu was frightened. She stood behind Jing Feng and held onto the hem of his clothes firmly. She was nervous.

“What are you doing? He’s the one who broke the rules of the Immortal Rising City, not us. Since you want to capture people, at least make sure you check who to go after,” Jing Feng said sternly. Despite knowing that this might be a trap, he appeared unfazed by the danger.

“Take them all away. We’ll know after we investigate exactly who broke the rules.” Xue Feng waved his hand. A few city guards immediately walked over, grabbing the hemp-clothed man and lifting him off the ground nearby.

The hemp-clothed man did not resist. He was extremely cooperative. However, he constantly called out, “Jing Feng, all I did was accidentally offend you back then in the Falling Cloud City. I never thought you’d chase me all the way to the Immortal Rising City, trying to kill me here. How vicious of you.”

Jing Feng furrowed his brows. He did not recognise this person at all.

The cultivators in the surroundings all watched on quietly. Many of them were obviously aware of everything that had unfolded. They also knew the hemp-clothed man was spouting blind lies, except they did not have the courage to speak up.

The cultivators who were active in the Immortal Rising City all knew that Xue Feng had a very sturdy backing.

“This treasure has clearly caught captain Xue Feng’s attention. Sigh, the only thing you can blame is the poor luck of the two of them.”

“Shi Zhongxian and captain Xue Feng have harmed many people over the years with their cooperation. A century ago, there had been a woman who was wrongly accused. After she was taken away, she never appeared again.”

“Sigh, he is the disciple of the main commander of the city guards after all. Once captured, the truth no longer matters.”

Many cultivators in the surroundings discussed among themselves secretly. They all shook their heads and sighed. People without impressive backgrounds did not have the courage to stand forward at a time like this.

The city guards had already begun to take action. They approached Jing Feng, preparing to seize him on the spot.

Jing Feng’s expression constantly changed. He wanted to resist, but he had second thoughts. After all, this was the Immortal Rising City, a place with an Immortal Exalt. The Falling Cloud City came nowhere close in comparison.

“Mumu, take the item and leave. Go and find your master!” Jing Feng suddenly made his decision. He handed the tip of the broken sword over to Jing Mumu, clearly having given up on resisting.

However, he had never expected someone that even he could not afford to offend to show up at such an important time, making his plan that was on the brink of success end in failure.

“Let them go. The two of them played a crucial role in discovering the treasure here today,” Xishan Yue said indifferently. He gave off undisguised arrogance, a sense of haughtiness as if he was better than everyone else.

“What are you waiting for? Are you deaf? Haven’t you heard what young master Yue said?” Release them,” Xue Feng turned towards the city guards and yelled at them.

When they heard that, the city guards who shackled Jing Feng immediately stepped back. The city guard who was about to capture Jing Mumu also stopped what he was doing immediately.

After the chains were removed, Jing Feng recovered his freedom. His frozen cultivation recovered as well.

However, he could not celebrate at all, as someone with an even more impressive background was here with the same ill intentions.

Xishan Yue looked at Jing Feng. He said indifferently and haughtily, “I heard you’re from the Falling Cloud City, a member of the Jing family? According to the reports of my subordinates, the Jing family only has an early Immortal Monarch. In a place like the Falling Cloud City, strength like that is something to be recognised, but it’s absolutely nothing in our Immortal Rising City.”

“I don’t want to harass people like you who come from small clans. You purchased the tip of the sword for a hundred thousand supreme grade immortal crystals?”

“How about this? I’ll buy it off you for a million supreme grade immortal crystals.”

As he said that, Xishan Yue swung his hand, and a block of supreme grade immortal crystal flew out from his Space Ring, landing on the ground with a thunk.

The supreme grade immortal crystal formed a perfect cube, exactly a metre across in length, width, and depth. If it were broken up into standard-sized immortal crystals, it would be exactly a million.

Gazing at the block of supreme grade immortal crystal, many of the cultivators nearby were envious. Even some Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals that were relatively poor could not produce a million supreme grade immortal crystals.

“He truly is the first young master of the Xishan clan. He truly is extravagant. He can take out a million supreme grade immortal crystals without even batting an eye.” Many of the people in the surroundings sighed inside.

However, Jing Mumu pouted. Compared to the mountainous pile of immortal crystals that her master had given her, a block of immortal crystal was nothing.
