"Come, lock up Qian Dafu and send him back to Jiulong Town for the villagers to deal with!" Lu Fan's expression was cold, carrying a killing intent.
No one dared to delay. Even the Lord of Jiulong City was willing to be captured, let alone a small town mayor, who was insignificant.
"Northwest King, what should we do next?" Steward Wu clasped his fists and said, "We have offended you before, and I hope the Northwest King will not be a stranger!"
"You are not in a position to speak to me!" Lu Fan glanced at him, his arrogance evident. He was already greatly displeased with the events that had transpired in the entire Northwest region.
Steward Wu stood frozen, his face instantly turning awkward. He didn't say anything more. Since Lu Fan had already spoken like this, if he continued to chatter, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble.
After handling these matters, Lu Fan went to the Dragon City's accounting office and found that Dragon City had collected a considerable amount of spirit stones, enough to rival a mountain of gold.
However, as the Lord of Dragon City had said, eighty percent of the spirit stones were sent to the Northwest King's Mansion. This was probably why the Lord of Dragon City was so audacious.
It was a pity that he hadn't anticipated encountering Lu Fan, not some previous Northwest King who wouldn't care about such things.
As night fell, Liu Ruyan looked at Lu Fan, "How do you plan to deal with the Lord of Dragon City?"
"For now, keep him locked up here. After I return to the Northwest Mansion, I will interrogate him thoroughly!" Lu Fan said coldly, "If other city lords are also like this, I will absolutely not let it slide!"
Liu Ruyan nodded, quite agreeing with what Lu Fan had said. After all, the situation was different now. With the Lord of Dragon City acting this way, it was possible that other city lords were also behaving similarly. Su Dan Novel Network
As night fell, Steward Wu went to the dungeon and looked at the Lord of Dragon City, "My Lord City Lord, that Northwest King is just a brash young man, not worth mentioning. Why do you debase yourself? If you had directly killed him, wouldn't you be at peace?"
"Are you an idiot?" the Lord of Dragon City said coldly, "This brat was sent by the Heavenly Court, and to become the Northwest King, he must have a great status. If I had made a move in front of him, how could I have escaped?"
"What does Your Lord mean?" Steward Wu was slightly taken aback.
"Once he leaves Dragon City, I will have my ways to deal with him!" the Lord of Dragon City narrowed his eyes. "This brat doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He thinks that just because he's the Northwest King, he can act recklessly. 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 Northwest King, do you?"
"Keeping him will only affect us, so why keep him!" the Northwest King sneered, a cold glint in his eyes, 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 self-destructive, and he had nothing to say.
The next morning, Lu Fan and his entourage departed. They were heading to the Northwest King's Mansion to officially take up their posts. Once there, no matter what decisions he made, he would have people to carry them out, making things much easier.
As soon as Lu Fan and the others left the city, the Lord of Dragon City appeared, a smile on his face and a faint cold glint in his eyes.
Steward Wu's expression was grave. He could tell that the Lord of Dragon City intended to make a move against the Northwest King. This was no trivial matter. If it attracted the attention of the Heavenly Court, it would undoubtedly bring disaster upon them.
Not long after, the Lord of Dragon City arrived at a mountain range. Within this mountain range was a sect, where numerous disciples flew through the air and moved with agility, exuding an ethereal aura.
Upon closer inspection, the sect had several large characters written on its main facade: Tianlong Sect.
The Lord of Dragon City stopped in mid-air, slowly picked up his flute, and began to play. Each note emanated a powerful aura, deeply affecting those who heard it.
After a while, a white-haired old man arrived, looking at the Lord of Dragon City with a hint of confusion, "Why has the Lord of Dragon City personally come here? What is the matter?"
"Old Bai, long time no see!"
The Lord of Dragon City smiled, "It seems you are doing well in the Tianlong Sect. Your complexion has improved considerably."
"The Tianlong Sect is considered a major sect in the entire Northwest. It is only natural that I am doing well!" Old Bai smiled slightly. "However, you played your flute and led me here. Do you have something you need me to do?"
"Yes, I want you to kill someone!" the Lord of Dragon City said with a smile. "If you succeed, the spirit stones will not be lacking, and there will be more than last time. What do you say?"
"The person you wanted me to kill last time had a very significant identity. This time, with more spirit stones, does that mean this person's identity is even greater than the previous one?" Old Bai narrowed his eyes. "Are you overestimating my abilities?"
Facing these words, the Lord of Dragon City smiled, "Don't worry. That person's strength is not great. Even I could easily deal with him. However, he does have some status. He comes from the capital and was enfeoffed as a king of a different surname, the King of the entire Northwest!"
"The Northwest King!"
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 pursues it, even the Tianlong Sect might be implicated!"
"Don't pretend, old man. For spirit stones, you'd do anything!" the Lord of Dragon City smiled. "How about this! After you succeed, I'll give you three times more than last time. You know I never lie and will never trick you!"
"Three times!"
Old Bai was stunned, his eyes showing a flicker of emotion. He had been 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 Lord of Dragon City asked directly, his words unreserved.
"Since you've put it this way, it wouldn't be right if I refused!" Old Bai nodded. "However, one thing must be made clear. If something goes wrong, you must cover for me, otherwise, I won't let you off. You know, that's how I do things!"
"Don't worry, I understand that much!" the Lord of Dragon City nodded slightly, a smile appearing as if he didn't care.
