37: Chapter 37 City Lord Vandalizes the Drunken Immortal Tower 37: Chapter 37 City Lord Vandalizes the Drunken Immortal Tower “My lord, I have told you everything I know,” said the City Lord of Pingyun City, standing respectfully at the side with bowed head and compliant eyes.
Under someone’s roof, one has no choice but to bow the head.
Facing the two figures whose strength was unfathomable, the City Lord had no option but to play the part of the obedient grandson.
“Indeed, there’s a task I need you to take care of.
You have been stuck at the peak of the Martial Arts Sect for quite some time now, haven’t you?
As long as you handle this matter well for me, I will let you directly ascend to the Martial King Realm.
From then on, in Pingyun City, your Gao Family will be the only voice,” said the short figure, glancing at the City Lord of Pingyun City before speaking slowly.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the City Lord of Pingyun City lit up.
If he really could enter the Martial King Realm, then today’s misfortune would indeed be a blessing in disguise.
As for the two aides who died, as long as he had strength, why should he care about aides?
Thinking this, the City Lord of Pingyun City became even more reverent in his behavior.
The short figure nodded in satisfaction.
With threats coupled with promises of reward, he wasn’t worried that the City Lord of Pingyun City wouldn’t put his heart into handling the task.
“Follow my Long Yi, go to the restaurant where the old man eats, and create chaos.
Make sure to keep the elder who visited the Mu Family today there,” instructed the short figure to the City Lord.
His plan was to have them create chaos, to detain Xuanyuan Kongming and create an opportunity to kill Mu Can.
“Remember, no matter what, you must keep the elder there for half an hour,” the short figure thought for a moment before saying.
“What is the strength of this elder?” the City Lord of Pingyun City hurriedly asked, his intuition telling him that this might not be a simple errand.
Hearing this request, the short figure looked at the City Lord dissatisfiedly and smacked his lips.
Seeing the short figure’s expression, the small Giant immediately rushed out, grabbed the City Lord of Pingyun City by the throat, and lifted him up.
The short figure jumped down from the City Lord’s throne and slowly approached the City Lord of Pingyun City.
Looking up at the City Lord who was struggling desperately because he couldn’t breathe, the short figure let out a cold laugh.
“What right do you have to negotiate with me?
Rest assured, I won’t send you to your death.
Understand?” he said.
“Oooh,” the City Lord of Pingyun City couldn’t even speak, he could only nod his head furiously and whimper.
A Martial Arts Sect powerhouse was so effortlessly held in the small Giant’s hands, without even having the chance to fight back, like a small chicken caught in his grip.
After giving a signal with his eyes, the small Giant let go, and the City Lord collapsed on the ground, gasping for the fresh air.
In just a short moment, the experience felt like an eternity to him.
On one side, Gao Ming was even more unbearable, his own biological father nearly killed right beside him, and he didn’t even have the courage to give a glance, let alone offer any resistance.
The short figure took out a black Elixir from his bosom.
It was covered in strange patterns and emitted an overbearing stench.
With a flick, the black Elixir shot into the mouth of the City Lord, who was still gasping for air.
“Vomit.” Feeling something enter his stomach, the repulsive smell irritated the City Lord’s stomach, and the City Lord of Pingyun City vomited desperately.
This thing will take root in your body.
Rest assured, as long as you handle this task well, all that I’ve promised you will be done,” said the short figure, looking at the City Lord of Pingyun City who was desperately trying to vomit.
The Elixir, which appeared to be just that, was in reality a living Hundred Poison Pill, under his control, specially used to manipulate others.
However, this type of Hundred Poison Pill also had one advantage: in times of danger, it could temporarily enhance the host’s strength to protect the host.
The City Lord of Pingyun City knelt on the ground in agony, violently throwing up.
Gao Ming beside him was even worse off, not only was he too scared to utter a word from the beginning to the present, but he was also constantly looking down at the ground, daring not to cast a glance at his father.
This was in stark contrast to his usually arrogant and domineering demeanor.
This Elixir could save your life at a critical moment,” the short figure said coldly to the City Lord of Pingyun City.
The City Lord of Pingyun City slowly stood up, looking in despair at the two people in front of him.
He knew that from this moment, his life was in the hands of the short figure.
“Handle this matter well, and I’ll grant you your freedom before I leave Pingyun City.
Moreover, I promise you a breakthrough to the Martial King Realm,” the short figure cackled.
“Yes, my lord,” the City Lord of Pingyun City submitted completely, speaking respectfully.
“If you had been sensible from the start, I wouldn’t have needed to waste a Hundred Poison Pill,” the short figure said with a satisfied smile while looking at the City Lord of Pingyun City.
Half an hour later, at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant in Pingyun City.
The Drunken Immortal Restaurant was the most famous restaurant in Pingyun City, said to have a chef lured from a restaurant in the Imperial City with a hefty offer.
Xuanyuan Mingkong was sitting in the top-floor private room of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, enjoying his meal.
He, who was usually deep in thought and action, hadn’t eaten in such a place for many years.
In his youth, aside from cultivating, his greatest pleasures were fine wine and gourmet food.
His disciples were also well aware of this passion of his; every time they went out, they would bring back good wine for their master engrossed in scholarly pursuits at the academy.
“The wine isn’t the best, but it does have a unique flavor.
It’s a rare treat,” it was clear that Xuanyuan Mingkong was in a good mood.
Mu Can had safely regained his previous level of cultivation, which to Xuanyuan Mingkong was definitely a happy occasion worth several extra drinks.
Pouring his own drinks and savoring the food, he was the very image of a carefree, contented old Immortal.
The owner of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant had long recognized Xuanyuan Mingkong’s extraordinary nature; a single Spirit Crystal had changed hands, and the manager even treasured this precious Spirit Crystal in his own living quarters.
It was well known that the value of Spirit Crystals was not limited to their use as currency.
The Spiritual Energy they constantly emitted could even greatly improve the physical condition of ordinary people.
A single Spirit Crystal made the manager of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant treat Xuanyuan Mingkong as if he were a dear grandfather.
Whether it was the food, drinks, or the location of the private room, all were the top-tier offerings of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
The private room had only been used three times, and not even the City Lord of Pingyun City was qualified to use it.
Suddenly, a noisy commotion arose from downstairs.
Is there anywhere in Pingyun City that I, Gao Ming, am not allowed to enter?” A burly male voice carried up from afar.
“City Lord Gao, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant truly has distinguished guests today.
Please forgive us,” the manager said with neither servility nor arrogance.
Forget you, a minor Pingyun City Lord – even the City Lords of the primary cities might not be willing to spend Spirit Crystals to settle their bills.
“Slap.” The sound of a swift, severe slap echoed.
“How dare you hit someone?” the manager of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant stammered, cupping his face; clearly, he had been hit hard.
“So what if I hit you?
I’m going to smash up your restaurant too.
Smash it up!” How could the quarrelsome City Lord be persuaded otherwise by mere words?
He immediately began to vandalize the Drunken Immortal Restaurant with his lackeys by his side.
The sound of breaking plates and the screams of the frightened waitresses filled the air.
In that moment, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant descended into utter chaos.
Unseen by all, two figures, one tall and the other short, left the City Lord Mansion and headed rapidly towards the Mu Family at Pingyun Mountain.
