After more than ten years on the mountain, you will become invincible when you come down.

"But did I kill you?" Lu Feng asked back.

Elder Feng was suddenly speechless, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief.

This means that Lu Feng had no intention of killing him, but just put him under house arrest.

After thinking it through, Elder Feng stopped struggling because he knew that even if he struggled, it would be useless. It would be better to be honest and suffer less pain...

At the same time, Xun Xingchen was waiting for news from Elder Feng in the Star Temple.

The longer I wait, the more uneasy I feel...

“Sect Master, Sect Master…something bad has happened, something bad has happened…” A disciple ran in hurriedly.

"Why are you so flustered? Tell me what's going on!" Xun Xingchen said in a deep voice.

"Master, Elder Feng has also been detained by Lu Feng, and he has said that he will not release him unless you go to negotiate in person!" the disciple said hurriedly.

Xun Xingchen's face darkened after hearing this, and he said angrily, "Humph, if he wants to detain them, then just detain them. Not only does he have to provide them with food and lodging, but he also has to send someone to watch over them. Now that I've figured it out, we might as well just fight him to see who can't stand it any longer!"

Xun Xingchen was thinking about leaving Lu Feng alone for a few days. How could he not know that Lu Feng was a man who never suffered any loss? If he rushed over now, he would definitely ask for a huge sum of money and blackmail him...

So Xun Xingchen wanted to stall now. When Lu Feng couldn't stall any longer, the price would be easier to negotiate. So he couldn't let Lu Feng think he was in a hurry...

Now let's see who can't hold back first...

But things often go against one's wishes. One could only hear the disciples below report again, "Sect Master, Lu Feng also said that since the Divine Son Lin Chen deserted the battlefield, he will be beheaded at noon today. The notice has been issued..."

Xun Xingchen stood up suddenly with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"This Lu Feng is so bold!" he said gritting his teeth.

Originally, Xun Xingchen planned to delay time and wait for Lu Feng to lower his conditions.

But now, he had to set off immediately.

If he doesn't go, Lu Feng might really kill Lin Chen.

No matter what, he had spent a lot of resources to train Lin Chen, and he was about to become a promising talent. How regrettable it would be if he was killed?

"Call all the elders and follow me to Guyue City!" Xun Xingchen gave the order.

Not long after, a huge team headed towards Guyue City.

When they arrived at the city gate, they found that a large number of onlookers had gathered there.

Xun Xingchen squeezed into the crowd and saw Lin Chen tied to the execution platform, with Lu Feng standing beside him with a smug look on his face.

"Xun Xingchen, you are finally here." Lu Feng sneered.

"Lu Feng, let Lin Chen go quickly!" Xun Xingchen shouted angrily.

"Let him go? Lin Chen deserted the battlefield. If we don't kill him, everyone will follow suit. How can we manage the country? How can we fight against the dark creatures?" Lu Feng said.

"Lu Feng, you are wrongly accusing a good person. I didn't desert the battlefield!" Lin Chen retorted.

"Pa..." Lu Feng slapped Lin Chen on the face.

"Lin Chen, you are still stubborn even when you are about to die. You said you didn't desert the battlefield. Then explain why everyone else in Mingyue City died, but you are the only one alive. The key point is that looking at you, you don't seem to have any serious injuries. Come on, give everyone a reasonable explanation..." Lu Feng said.

"I……"

"Pa..." Lu Feng slapped him on the face again.

"What do you mean by 'I'? Have you thought of how to argue?" Lu Feng asked in a deep voice.

"Lu Feng, tell me, what exactly do you want in exchange for letting Lin Chen go?" Xun Xingchen asked in a deep voice.

"Master Xun, you've put me in a very difficult position. After all, Lin Chen's case is not a small matter. If I just let him go, I won't be able to give everyone an explanation..." Lu Feng said.

"Don't give me that. I know you want resources. Just tell me a number..." Xun Xingchen said in a deep voice.

Whether to release the person or not is all up to Lu Feng, and there is no need to explain or not.

Do those people who were watching dare to ask him for an explanation? Do they dare to ask Lu Feng for an explanation?

Consider your own strength first...

Lu Feng's mouth curled up slightly. Xun Xingchen was so straightforward, so that was easy to say...

"I can release him. I'm not greedy. I'll give you 80% of the resources of the Star Temple. As long as you agree to my conditions, I'll release him immediately." Lu Feng said.

Xun Xingchen's face turned very ugly. Lu Feng's conditions were extremely harsh and shameless.

You can obviously snatch it, but you have to put forward such a condition...

But at this moment, he had no choice but to agree to Lu Feng's request or watch Lin Chen die.

"Master, don't agree to him, he is greedy! I will never let him succeed even if I die!" Lin Chen shouted angrily.

"Hmph! Don't say anything. The Star Temple has to pay such a huge price, isn't it all because of you? Don't you think it's shameful enough?" Xun Xingchen scolded.

Then he looked at Lu Feng and said, "Eighty percent is too much, thirty percent at most, please think about it!"

"We are old friends, so I'll give you a 70% discount!"

"Forty percent!" Xun Xingchen said.

"No, I'll take a step back, at least 60%!" Lu Feng said.

"Fifty percent. If it's 10 percent more, I will turn around and leave!" Xun Xingchen said in a deep voice.

Lu Feng was delighted. Fifty percent of the resources of the Star Temple was definitely not a small amount.

Seeing that it was almost done, Lu Feng decided to quit while he was ahead and agreed impatiently, "Okay, okay, I'll give you 50% for being stingy, but the prerequisite is that you give me the resources first..."

"I don't have so many resources with me. I'll take the people back first and have someone send them over later..." Xun Xingchen said.

"That won't do. If you continue to cheat me, who will I go to for justice? But it's not impossible. You can just write me an IOU first..." Lu Feng said.

Xun Xingchen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you!"

As he spoke, Xun Xingchen wrote an IOU to Lu Feng...

Lu Feng showed a satisfied smile, "Haha, Xun Xingchen, you are indeed a straightforward person. Come, untie Lin Chen."

Lin Chen regained his freedom. He walked to Xun Xingchen with a guilty look on his face.

Xun Xingchen patted his shoulder and said, "Let's just leave it at that. Go back and practice well."
