Chapter XXIII The Battle of Prestige
With the addition of Ling Feng and a few others, Gold Gathering City rapidly developed in a short period of time, continuously taming and taming the surrounding small forces! In the Bedlam Lands, such a small force would be born and destroyed every day!
However, if one wanted to gather the gold in the city and subdue and annex all the surrounding small forces, it was still rare! This quickly attracted the attention of several powerful forces. The first to bear the brunt of this was the nearest power, the Qingfeng Stronghold!
Qingfeng Stronghold. Although it was a stronghold, its size was no smaller than that of the Gold Gathering City. This stronghold was later built up! However, this faction was a bandit group!
The Qingfeng Stronghold sounded very scholarly and refined. It gave off the impression that they were a bandit group that robbed the rich and helped the poor! In reality, this was not the case. The reason the Qingfeng Stronghold had such a name was because they were a group of bandits who would commit all sorts of crimes and rob everything!
Every time he looted a place, it would be like a clear wind sweeping away leaves, and nothing would be left behind!
However, it was precisely because the Qingfeng Stronghold was a force that did nothing but evil that they had become the heaven of the wicked! What the Bedlam Lands did not lack were the evil people. This made the Qingfeng Stronghold gather many evil people!
The overall strength of the Qingfeng Stronghold was much stronger than that of the Gold Gathering City. However, because of the many people in the stronghold, the entire stronghold was not united, and there were often internal conflicts. This was the reason why the stronghold hadn't risen to prominence yet!
On the other hand, in terms of numbers and strength, Gold Forming City was weaker than Fresh Breeze Stronghold. However, the people here were all Jin Yuyan, the mercenaries that had been hired to help guard Gold Forming City! In such a situation, only the strong and the weak could ensure the safety of Gold Gathering City!
Of course, as a bandit group, the Qingfeng Stronghold would frequently come to the Gold Gathering City to stir up trouble. However, every time, the Gold Gathering City would offer a sum of gold coins, which was considered a peaceful place to settle this matter. Furthermore, the other party was willing to not make a move, since the power of the Gold Gathering City was not small.
And during this period of time, the great movements in the Gold Gathering City had also alarmed the Qingfeng Stronghold! The people of the Qingfeng Stronghold once again came over to find trouble. If it was a normal situation, they would have been fine to collect some benefits, but now it was different!
With the addition of Ling Feng and the others, Gold Gathering City had greatly changed. It was no longer just a passive defense like before, but also had the ability to attack!
"This time, over 2000 people came from the Qingfeng Stronghold, and they are also one of the many sects in the stronghold. Their leader is, Niu Dazhi, his strength is around the initial stage of the Spirit Stage …" Lu Tianji reported to Ling Feng about the opponent this time!
After hearing this information, Ling Feng also discovered that the opponent's strength was not that great. In fact, as long as it was Ling Feng and the Gao brothers, they would be able to defeat these two thousand people! However, what Ling Feng wanted was not to defeat them, but to annihilate all two thousand of them. He did not plan on letting any of them off the hook!
After finding out about the situation at the Qingfeng Stronghold, Ling Feng had long since listed this stronghold as one of the forces that would eliminate it for sure! The entire Qingfeng Stronghold was filled with heinous evildoers. Even though there was only a small faction, it could still be considered a force of the stronghold!
If this force was eliminated, then the Qingfeng Stronghold's power would be weakened a bit! The rise of Gold Gathering City would definitely arouse the suspicion of the Qingfeng Stronghold. The enmity between the two forces was inevitable, so Ling Feng wanted to eliminate this force even more!
Furthermore, since the beginning of their cooperation, although Ling Feng had brought many changes to the Gold Gathering City and made it even more powerful, Ling Feng and the rest had never built anything! This time, the people from the Qingfeng Stronghold had come to make trouble, and it was a perfect opportunity for Ling Feng to display his strength!
The entrance to the Gold Gathering City was suddenly surrounded by two thousand vicious looking men, causing many to become nervous. After all, in the Bedlam Lands, there were no moral laws! Those merchants in Gold Gathering City with insufficient strength to protect themselves would very likely be robbed, and they might even lose their lives!
The two thousand people stopped at the city gate and did not attack the city. Instead, an extremely arrogant fellow came out and shouted towards the city gate, "Who is in charge? Get out here and take a breather!" Didn't you see that our Boss Ox is here!? "
That person's attitude was extremely arrogant, making Gao Jian, who was already in high spirits, very angry. He said in a low voice, "Young master, do you want me to go down and kill that clown!?"
"There's no need to be anxious. Let's take a look first!" However, Ling Feng did not agree, "If you want to make a move, you have to use all your strength, and not give the opponent any chance to turn around! However, you can anger them first so that you can test their strength! "
After receiving Ling Feng's permission, Gao Jian immediately scolded back, "Then why are those wild dogs barking so much? What are you talking about? Boss Ox, Ox Ol 'Three!" Get lost! "
There was no such thing as the most arrogant, only the most arrogant!
Looking at Gao Jian's words, he was more than twice as cocky as the one who'd shouted just now! These words immediately angered the other party. After all, they were the Qingfeng Stronghold. Even the ten powers of the Bedlam Lands would have to be courteous after being spoken of like this. To think that someone would dare to scold them like this … this was outrageous!
As a bandit group, although the strength of the Qingfeng Stronghold was not as good as that of the top ten forces, everyone in the stronghold was a mercenary villain who dared to do anything for money. This was a completely suicidal attitude!
Therefore, even the ten great powers in the Bedlam Lands did not want to provoke this group of lunatics. After all, they were the ones who dared to take a bite out of it!
The people from the Qingfeng Stronghold, who had never been scolded like this before, immediately became furious. They all shouted loudly, "Brat, you're courting death. Boss, destroy this city!"
"Boss, we've been waiting for you to say something. Cut that brat into a thousand pieces …"
"Slaughter the city, leave no one alive. Kill all the men, take away all the women …"
As the leader of these people, Niu Dazhi was much taller than the others. He was more than two meters tall and as strong as an ox. He was also very powerful! Although he appeared to be rather rough on the outside, his mind was actually very meticulous. He seemed to think more than others!
Otherwise, just by relying on strength, it would be impossible to obtain the support of over 2000 people and become a member of the Qingfeng Stronghold!
Niu Dazhi saw that his subordinates were already burning with anger, but he was thinking in his heart: Usually, this Gold Gathering City will honestly offer some benefits and spend money to fend off disasters, but now, it suddenly turned 360 degrees and scolded one of us right away! Furthermore, considering the unusual behavior of the city during the recent period of time, Niu Dazheng was a little afraid of the city!
Although he didn't know what had happened in the Gold Gathering City, he knew that the current Gold Gathering City was different from before. At the very least, from their appearances, they no longer regarded these people as important anymore!
However, Niu Dazhi could not show any signs of retreat in front of his 2,000 plus underlings. Otherwise, how could he lead his men in the future?
"Hmph, such a small Gold Gathering City actually doesn't place the Pure Wind House in their eyes. It seems like they want to become enemies with the Pure Wind Stronghold!" Niu Dazhi finally stood up and spoke, but he brought out the Qingfeng Stronghold!
As long as it was determined that they were enemies, the situation would not end until one side was dead. This was the reason why the top ten powers feared the Qingfeng Stronghold; they were just a bunch of people who would kill each other. They would face an enemy together, but they would face a madman who was fighting against the same enemy!
