Chapter Fourteen

When Chu Feng and Lu Bu arrived at the Jiang Family Estate Manor, they have not deliberately concealed their aura, which caused the Guardsmen to shrink in fear. If not for Jiang Menglin and Jiang Xuanqi existence leading them, they might even try to stop them from entering the estate looking how dangerous they appeared.

Fortunately, Jiang Menglin and Jiang Xuanqi had told them not to worry, or else no one knows when they will regain their composure.

After entering the Jiang Clan, Chu Feng had the impression of it as captivating. The estate was well designed. There were trees and a pond constructed using bamboo wood, which appeared neat.

Soon, Chu Feng and Lu Bu entered the Guest Hall. Jiang Menglin left afterward to call the Patriarch and the Main Elders while Jiang Xuanqi remained in the hall to entertain them.

Not long after, Jiang Menglin reappeared. Merely, this time, there were ten or so people besides him.

On that group of ten or so people, the most eye-catching one was the middle-aged man with a beard.

That middle-aged man had the appearance of an educated man. He wore a white-cloth embroidered on black curls. From the way he appeared to look like, he should not have reached forty years of age.

The rest of the group mostly consisted of Elderly Men dressed in black cloth and was around the age of sixty.

As they approached Chu Feng and Lu Bu, their expression contained wariness and reverence.

"Senior, I am called Jiang Hao, the Jiang Clan's Patriarch and the Father of Jiang Wushang. I have heard from Elder Meng, the kindness of Senior is unsurpassed. I'm very grateful for saving Elder Meng, Elder Qi, and my son's life." After the Patriarch of Jiang Clan, Jiang Hao, and the rest of the elders approached Chu Feng, they cupped their fists and bowed their heads.

"You don't have to feel gratitude to me. My subordinate here is the one who saves your son's life, and furthermore, he had found his successor in such small land, there was no way he would let him die." Chu Feng glanced at Lu Bu and smiled.

"Junior thanks Senior's kindness." Jiang Hao cupped his fists to Lu Bu. After that, he glanced at Jiang Wushang, who was sleeping, by the side of Jiang Xuanqi.

"No matter what, we the Jiangs are indebted to the two Seniors. If two seniors find themselves in dire state, we the Jiangs will be your beck and call." Jiang Hao added.

Chu Feng and Lu Bu merely smiled in response.

Soon they started exchanging pleasantry. At this point, Jiang Hao suddenly asked, "Seniors, may I presume if you are from the Upper Realms?"

"What do you think?" Chu Feng mysteriously smiled.

Jiang Hao was unable to say a word while the elders were uncertain. However, for Jiang Menglin and Jiang Xuanqi, who experienced their power no mortals could have, they remained calm.

Seeing them act like this, Chu Feng appeared excited. This something he liked the most, to act like an unfathomable expert.

To not lose his image as a mysterious and unfathomable expert, he raised his hand cooly. He gently contacted his thumb and middle finger together, as it produced a snapping sound.

As if that snapping sound was for Lu Bu, his oppressive force gush forth.

At the moment the oppressive force swept past Jiang Hao's direction, the surrounding area of one li became distorted, and the temperature decreased. The Elders, Jiang Hao, Jiang Xuanqi, and Jiang Menglin, felt a tingling of coldness when they came in contact with the oppressive force, which made their heart trembled.

In front of the oppressive force, they were like ants unable to struggle. Their breath turned rough.

However, as Lu Bu retracted his oppressive force, did they finally able to breathe.

But this time, the doubt that filled their eyes had disappeared completely, and what replaced them was deep reverence.

This kind of reverence was reverence towards the experts of Upper Realms.

"Seniors, please forgive this Junior if I offend you somehow," Jiang Hao immediately cupped his fists while all of the people present followed suit.

"Don't be overpolite. I came here for two purposes. One, as you might have already known, my trusted aid here, Lu Bu, will take your son under his tutelage and guide him on the path of cultivation. As for the other reason, I came here for..." Chu Feng curved a smile and said, "...Do you wish for your Jiang Clan to rise once again and rule the Eastern Sea Region; No, perhaps dominate the entire Eastern Sea?"

"This... Thiss..."

Jiang Hao was stunned. His heart quickened, feeling that this was all a fantasy.

"Of course you can refuse." Chu Feng added as he leaned the back of the chair.

"Please decide Patriarch! This matter is the chance for our Jiang Clan to rise once again..."

"Patriarch ple..."

"Patriarch."

Jiang Xuanqi, Jiang Menglin, and the rest of the elders couldn't help themselves but voice out their opinions.

They already witness the strength of these people, so what was the reason to refuse them?

"Seniors, we the Jiangs will accept your generous offer!" After several pleas of the elders, Jiang Hao said. They have nothing to lose anyway, and he already witnesses the strength of the Mysterious Seniors in front of him. Hence, there was no reason to refuse them.

"That's great. Uncle Hao, would you mind enlightening me on the Clans and Powers inside the Boundless City?" Chu Feng asked.

"Your Highness, there are numerous clans inside the Boundless City. There are rated depending on their strength. As for our Jiang Clan, we are rated third-rate for how weak our clan is. However, for the top clans inside the Boundless City, there are four. Namely, the Zi Clan, Meng Clan, Nangong Clan, and the Zi Clan."

"Supposedly there are only three major clans in the Boundless City. However, because of the rise of Zi Clan, there are now four clans contending for the title of City Lord." Jiang Hao said.

"Contending for the title of City Lord? What's that?" Chu Feng curiously asked.

"Your highness, in Boundless City, the existence of the City Lord is supreme. They held authority much greater than the Top Clans. Hence, for that sole reason, the clans inside the Boundless City fought through competition in hopes they would become the City Lord." Jiang Hao replied.

"Oh? That's interesting..." Chu Feng smiled. "When will the competition be held?" With this kind of opportunity, perhaps he can commence the first step of his plan through this competition.

"Your Highness, the Battle for City Lord Position will happened every decade. It has been nine years since the Nangong Clan had become the City Lord. Now, the competition for the City Lord Position will commence in the following three days."

Jiang Hao said. But he suddenly paused and continued, "But my lord, I heard that the competition for the City Lord Position this coming three days will be canceled."

"Cancelled?" Chu Feng frowned. "For what reason?"

"Your Highness, Hearsay that this was the Ruthless Sea Emperor's doing. Because the Zi Clan's Zi Yu, the girl who was born with Divine Body, would be betrothed to his son."

'Zi Ling!' Chu Feng's heart trembled by the mention of his name. He knew that Zi Ling's birth name was Zi Yu.

'Poor Girl...However, I, Chu Feng, will change your destiny. Wait for me, I will save you shortly, like a hero saving the damsel in distress."
