277: Chapter 277 Alarms the City Lord's Mansion

Everyone was terrified at this sight. While Body Integration Stage experts were common, they were still considered experts. Yet, such an expert had turned into charcoal right before everyone's eyes; it was simply inconceivable.

The crucial point was that there were Void Tempering Stage and Mahayana Stage experts present, yet even Zheng Tong couldn't figure out what had happened.

"I can help Mahayana Stage experts improve their cultivation. Do you think I'm a pushover waiting to be slaughtered?"

Xiao Yuchen sneered and looked at Li Yiran and the others, saying, "Yiran, Qingcheng, Ruyu, it's time to test your strength. I'll give you one minute; I want everyone to lose their ability to fight."

Although there were many opponents, most of them were at the Void Refining Stage and Body Integration Stage. While there were two Void Tempering Stage experts, one was at the Middle Stage and the other at the Late Stage. The three of them could easily handle this.

"Alright."

The three women agreed and attacked first. Before the crowd could understand what was happening, seven or eight people had already fallen to the ground.

The three women were like wolves entering a flock of sheep, taking down one person with each punch. In just over twenty seconds, except for the two Void Tempering Stage experts, everyone else had fallen to the ground.

The three women didn't stop for a moment and launched another attack at the two Void Tempering Stage experts. Twenty seconds later, the two Void Tempering Stage experts were also beaten to the ground, taking roughly the same amount of time.

Seeing this, everyone present was dumbfounded. Many of them had come to see beauties and had assumed that Li Yiran and the others were just vases, but they hadn't expected their strength to be so formidable.

Seeing this, Zheng Tong wanted to step forward to stop them, but was blocked by Sima Pingjiang. Although Sima Pingjiang was no match for Zheng Tong, he could at least hold out for a few minutes.

Watching Sima Pingjiang at a disadvantage, Xiao Yuchen looked at Sect Master Hua Yuxi and said, "Yuxi, go help Sima Pingjiang."

Sima Pingjiang, who had been at a disadvantage, instantly turned the tide of the battle after Sect Master Hua Yuxi joined. Although both of them were at the Early Mahayana Stage and Zheng Tong was at the Middle Mahayana Stage, Zheng Tong could not win against their combined efforts.

"That woman is actually at the Mahayana Stage too. How are all the women around this kid so formidable? What is his own strength then?"

"At least at the Mahayana Stage. He can help others improve their cultivation, so why couldn't he help himself? I'm certain his cultivation has definitely reached the Mahayana Stage."

"Doesn't that mean the Zheng Family has kicked an iron plate this time? That kid wouldn't just wipe out the Zheng Family, right?"

...

The onlookers began to discuss amongst themselves, while Zheng Tong felt extremely regretful; he shouldn't have been so impulsive.

"Brother, what happened just now was my fault. My Zheng Family is willing to provide compensation. How about we reconcile?"

Zheng Tong was truly afraid. The man in front of him was not someone their Zheng Family could afford to provoke. Although admitting his mistake was a bit of a loss of Face, he couldn't care about that anymore.

"You want to fight, so you fight; you want to reconcile, so you reconcile. How could things be so easy?"

Xiao Yuchen didn't want to wipe out a Family as soon as he arrived here, but he had to at least teach the Zheng Family a lesson; otherwise, there would always be some stray cats and dogs coming to cause trouble, which would be incredibly annoying.

"Then what do you want? If this continues, the final result will only be mutual destruction. What benefit would that be to you?"

"Mutual destruction? Aren't you overestimating yourself too much?"

While speaking, Xiao Yuchen suddenly appeared in front of Sect Master Hua Yuxi, his right hand forming a claw. With just one move, he locked Zheng Tong's throat. No matter how hard Zheng Tong struggled, he couldn't break free from Xiao Yuchen's restraint.

"Do you still think you can achieve mutual destruction now? I only need to move my finger to end your life."

Zheng Tong was shocked. He hadn't expected the man in front of him to be so formidable; he was completely unable to fight back. Just how strong was the other party's cultivation? At least the Late Mahayana Stage couldn't do this.

"I was wrong. Please forgive me, Brother Xiao. I will agree to whatever conditions you propose."

Zheng Tong admitted his mistake again, his attitude very sincere. Seeing this, the crowd was shocked once more. A Middle Mahayana Stage expert had absolutely no ability to fight back against Xiao Yuchen; even the Sect Master of the Wind God Sect might not possess such strength.

However, before Xiao Yuchen could say anything, another dozen or so people rushed over.

"I ask Young Master Xiao to show mercy and not take Zheng Tong's life."

The person who arrived was wearing armor and had a handsome appearance. His strength had actually reached the Late Mahayana Stage, which surprised Xiao Yuchen a little.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yuchen asked.

However, before the man could answer, the onlookers knelt to the ground and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Lord City Lord!"

The person who arrived was none other than City Lord Zhangsun of Beiliang City, with the strength of the Late Mahayana Stage. In terms of cultivation alone, City Lord Zhangsun was not much weaker than the Sect Master of the Wind God Sect.

However, the Wind God Sect was a Sect with thousands of Disciples, and all the Elders had reached the Void Tempering Stage; their overall strength was much stronger than the City Lord's Mansion.

"You are the City Lord of Beiliang City?"

Although the other party was at the Late Mahayana Stage, Xiao Yuchen was still not afraid at all. Moreover, the other party was quite polite, so he had no need to fall out with them.

"Yes, the Zheng Family is a first-class Family in Beiliang City and is the backbone of Beiliang City. I hope Young Master Xiao can let them off the hook; I, City Lord Zhangsun, would be deeply grateful."

If City Lord Zhangsun had been tough, Xiao Yuchen naturally wouldn't have compromised. However, although the other party was the honorable City Lord, he was easy-going. Xiao Yuchen was willing to give him some Face. Moreover, if he could be on good terms with the City Lord's Mansion, it would be relatively easier for him to find helpers.

"Alright, since Lord City Lord has pleaded for them, I will give you this Face."

Releasing Zheng Tong, Xiao Yuchen walked up to City Lord Zhangsun and asked with a smile, "I wonder if Lord City Lord came here to plead for the Zheng Family, or if there is another purpose?"

"I have a daughter who is currently at the Great Perfection of the Void Tempering Stage. I wonder if Young Master Xiao could help her improve her cultivation?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuchen frowned slightly. Just as he was about to answer, Dongfang Qingcheng suddenly came in front of them and answered first, "Yuchen only helps men improve their cultivation; he doesn't handle women."

Hearing Dongfang Qingcheng's words, Xiao Yuchen was speechless. How could he not understand Dongfang Qingcheng's thoughts? She was afraid that he would expand his harem; after all, Dongfang Qingcheng was also a princess of Qingshan City.

"Yes, Lord City Lord, my condition for helping people improve their cultivation is that they need to become my subordinate for two years. It is indeed inconvenient when it comes to women." Xiao Yuchen found an excuse and politely refused.

"Then can Young Master Xiao be flexible? If you help my daughter break through to the Mahayana Stage, I will let my son become your subordinate for two years. My son is at the Early Mahayana Stage and completely meets your requirements." City Lord Zhangsun pointed at Zhangsun Feng, who was standing to the side.

"This... this is possible, but your son's status is noble. Are you really willing to part with him?"

Xiao Yuchen looked at Zhangsun Feng. The other party had indeed reached the Early Mahayana Stage, which did meet his requirements.

"For those who cultivate immortality, strength determines everything. In Beiliang City, my son enjoys a lofty status, but once he leaves Beiliang City, he is nothing. Who would care about his status?"

"How about this: you help my daughter break through to the Mahayana Stage, and then help my son improve his cultivation. I will let him accompany you for four years, how about that?"
