In the training ground of Che Shan Town, there was an atmosphere of silence. The tense mood had reached its peak.
Because people could already see that dust was flying in the distance and they could hear the warhorses roaring. The army of Zijin City had arrived.
"Quickly, follow me to greet the Lord Mayor." Lin shouted loudly and then hurriedly walked towards the town gate, clearly treating himself as the manager of Che Shan region.
Seeing this, the people in the training ground were not in a hurry to slack off. Instead, they hurriedly followed him. If they had previously had a little doubt about Lin, then when they saw the army of Zijin City, their doubts vanished completely and they completely believed this person's previous words.
And looking at the large group of people surging forward, although Chu Feng did not want to, he had no choice but to follow the crowd to the town gate and greet the Lord Mayor of Zijin City.
Although he did not regard Zijin City as important in his heart, before he had absolute strength, he had to temporarily submit. At least he could not do something without reason to offend others.
"Chu Feng, you from the Chu family. Have you seen the Zijin token yet and not bowed down? I will report this to the Lord Mayor." At the town gate, Lin coldly said to Chu Feng.
"Whatever you say." Chu Feng glanced at him and was too lazy to waste words with this arrogant person.
"Humph, you will have a hard time later." And Lin also sneered coldly, the smirk on his lips becoming even more sinister.
"Rumble rumble rumble"
Under the gaze of countless people, the booming sound grew closer and closer. People soon saw the figure of the Zijin City army in the dust.
Looking at the soldiers of Zijin City in armor, standing in neat order, almost everyone was intimidated by that.
At this moment, those who had a grudge against the Chu family were secretly happy. They thought that the people from the Chu family were about to face a great disaster. Just thinking about Chu Feng's arrogant appearance before and the situation he was about to face, they couldn't help but be very excited.
Under the gaze of everyone's tight-lipped look, the army of Zijin City, led by Chen Hui, had already arrived at the village entrance of Che Shan Town in a mighty procession.
"We come to pay respects to the Lord Mayor!"
Seeing this, Lin hurriedly knelt down. At the same time, many people present also knelt down, even the members of the Chu family knelt down. They dared not show the slightest impoliteness to this highest authority of Zijin City, but only Chu Feng remained standing on the ground.
"Brave Chu Feng, when seeing the Lord Mayor, don't rush to kneel down yet." Lin pointed at Chu Feng and shouted loudly.
"Men have gold under their knees. I Chu Feng, apart from my parents and benefactors, even the heaven doesn't kneel, how could I kneel before others."
Chu Feng said this while looking at Chen Hui. There was no trace of fear in his eyes, but rather a very open-minded attitude. Because this was his inner thought. Even if he were killed, he would not kneel before others, this was a matter of dignity.
People, even when they submit, have a bottom line. And Chu Feng's bottom line was that he could be beaten, but he would not kneel before others.
And when Chu Feng said this, it frightened Chu Yuan and others. They thought Chu Feng would anger Chen Hui.
As for Lin and others, they were overjoyed. Although they knew Chu Feng was bold, they never expected him to be so bold. This was like challenging Chen Hui in front of everyone, hitting Chen Hui in the face.
But just as everyone was waiting and watching a good show, waiting to see how Chen Hui would deal with Chu Feng, Chen Hui smiled slightly and jumped off his horse, walking towards Chu Feng.
At the same time, several generals behind him also jumped off their horses and followed Chen Hui, walking towards Chu Feng.
"Are you Chu Feng?" Chen Hui smiled and looked at Chu Feng, his eyes showing a touch of appreciation.
"This is me." Chu Feng was not humble or arrogant.
"Indeed, a hero emerges from a young person. At such a young age, having such an aura, is truly rare." Regarding Chu Feng's attitude, Chen Hui didn't get angry but instead smiled. Then he looked around at the Chu family members and said, "Who is Chu Feng's father?"
"Your Highness, I, Chu Yuan, am Chu Feng's father. My son is still young and might speak too straightforwardly. Please bear with me, Your Highness." Chu Yuan thought that Chen Hui was going to do something bad to Chu Feng and hurriedly pleaded on his behalf.
"Ah, the Chu Lord is talking nonsense. Having such a son is your blessing and also my blessing of the Purple Gold City. This son must be well nurtured."
"You, Chu family, have made a contribution to finding the black iron ore. Therefore, I will reward you with your son, Chu Feng, a thousand spirit pearls. Let his cultivation progress further. Let him shine for the Purple Gold City within the Blue Dragon Sect."
"As for that black iron ore, it is up to your Chu family to mine it. The proceeds do not need to be handed over to my Purple Gold City. They belong entirely to your Chu family."
"Furthermore, from now on, this area under the mountain will be managed by your Chu family. Anyone who dares not obey your Chu family's orders is equivalent to disobeying me, Chen Hui. I will deal with them according to the law and show no mercy."
Chen Hui's voice was extremely loud, and with the surrounding silence, all of his words had clearly entered everyone's ears.
At this moment, except for the people of Purple Gold City, almost everyone was stunned and astonished. Not to mention those like Lin who were eager to see Chu family fail, even Chu Yuan and other Chu family members were bewildered and at a loss for what to do.
What's going on? The Purple Gold City Lord, not only did not punish the Chu family because of Chu Feng's attitude, but also rewarded Chu Feng with a thousand spirit pearls. A thousand spirit pearls!
This is not all. The black iron ore is handed over to the Chu family for disposal. The value of that black iron ore is far more than a thousand spirit pearls. If all of it is mined, it would be worth tens of thousands of spirit pearls, an immeasurable asset.
The most important thing is, they have entrusted this area under the mountain to the Chu family. What on earth is going on? If the Chu family manages this area, then what does Lin count as?
"Your Highness, this... you... you said earlier that this area under the mountain is to be managed by my Tiger Tiger Bureau?"
Sure enough, at this moment, Lin could no longer kneel down. He hurriedly stood up, tremblingly walked to Chen Hui, and in a humble tone asked in a low voice.
Seeing this, Chen Hui's expression changed slightly. He looked at Lin with an extremely cold gaze and said, "Your conduct is improper. You are not worthy to serve me. Come, someone, take this person's Purple Gold token back and execute him!"
