C48 Dismissed by Unpleasantness

The thousand miles of drought can't be solved in such a short time! I am currently gathering the power of faith from all the disciples, and am gradually reversing the disaster and preventing it from getting worse! "

Immortal Master Liu gave the scholarly cultivator a disdainful look, turning around and courteously beckoned for Li Yi and Han Ying'er to sit on the left side.

Zhang Tianzhi also coldly harrumphed as he sat down beside Li Yi.

"Who are these two?"

Ever since Li Yi and the other three had appeared, Zhao Xueyu's attention had focused on Li Yi and Wang Lin.

Immortal Master Liu and Zhang Tianzhi had always been at loggerheads. For the two of them to simultaneously guide the way, this man and woman must be extraordinary.

"This is Fellow Daoist Li and his senior sister, Fairy Leng Linglong. This immortal master is here to introduce you to the City Lord."

Immortal Master Liu clasped his hands at Zhao Miaoxue. As an immortal master with an exalted status, he only needed to bow.

"This teacher will also introduce the two of them to Brother Li."

Zhang shi hurriedly added.

"Oh, I wonder what abilities the two of them have?"

Zhao Miaoxue became even more excited. If Immortal Master Liu and Zhang Tianzhi were able to make introductions, then Daoist Master Li must not be simple!

"Great Strength!"

Li Yi smiled.

"Strong? What kind of ability is that? "

The civil and military officials sitting on the right immediately began a flurry of discussion, while the few cultivators sitting on the left felt a shiver in their hearts at the same time.

Strong strength? Strength did not come from nothing. The higher the cultivation, the greater the strength.

When people said that he was strong, it was just a modest way of putting it, which meant that he had a high cultivation base.

No wonder Immortal Master Liu and Zhang Tianzhi, these two old men, were so solicitous and fought so hard to be the referees. It was clear from their emotions that they were aware of the strength of these two young men!

What two old foxes!

"Being strong is of course also a type of ability. This city lord will now hire Daoist Priest Li and Fairy Linglong as guest delegates to discuss the management of the drought. "

As a princess of the Kingdom of Tianfeng, Zhao Miaoxue was born with a mortal body. However, her knowledge couldn't be compared with these civil officials. Therefore, she naturally knew what Li Yi meant by 'great power'.

Plus, the Ge Yi old man sitting beside her had told her that she couldn't see through their cultivation, which made Zhao Miaoxue's heart tremble even more.

Old man Ge's surname was Bai, he was the Imperial Guardian of the Tianfeng Empire, a cultivator at the tenth level of the Refinement Stage, and also an outer disciple of the Misty Pavilion stationed in the Tianfeng Empire. Even the Tianfeng Emperor had to respectfully and respectfully call him "Old Master Bai". If it wasn't for the fact that the Tianfeng Emperor doted on Zhao Miaoxue, the fourth princess, he wouldn't have asked Elder Bai to guard her.

Right now, even Old Bai could not see through Li Yi and Old Bai's cultivation. Li Yi and Old Bai were definitely stronger than Old Bai, so how could Zhao Miaoxue dare to slight them!

"Fellow Daoist Liu, who is the Ge Yi old man beside the mayor?"

From the moment he entered the pavilion, Li Yi had noticed the Ge Yi old man. With his eyesight, he was naturally able to tell that the Ge Yi old man was in the 10th level of the Qi Cultivating Stage.

Adding on the fact that the Ge Yi old man used his spiritual sense to detect Li Yi and Leng Linglong, he naturally couldn't hide from Li Yi's spiritual sense, so he sent a message to Immortal Master Liu.

"That is Old Bai, the City Lord's personal consecrate. He is inseparable from the City Lord and his cultivation is also the highest amongst our group, but as for the specifics, I am unable to tell how high he is."

Immortal Master Liu honestly replied. Just like how he couldn't see through the cultivation levels of Li Yi and Old Man Bai, he could also not see through Old Man Bai's cultivation. He only knew that it was unfathomable. For the City Lord to have such an expert as his advisor, it could be seen that he was not an ordinary member of the Imperial Family. Therefore, Immortal Master Liu still had to maintain the necessary respect for the City Lord.

"Linglong, will our Misty Pavilion send late stage Qi Cultivation disciples to guard the Subordinate Countries?"

Li Yi secretly transmitted his voice to Leng Linglong.

"Yes, there is indeed a tradition. Generally speaking, once every ten years, each Subordinate Country would send a late stage Qi Cultivating Stage disciple. As long as there is no problem before the term ends, it is certain that the person will be promoted to an ordinary disciple."

Hearing Leng Linglong's answer, Li Yi looked at Zhao Miaoxue with a different look in his eyes. It seemed that this Mayor wasn't simple. That Old Bai was most likely the outer disciple of the Floating Mist Pavilion stationed in the Windy Empire. The fact that he was able to be under her protection showed the status of Zhao Miaoxue in the Windy Empire.

In the entire pavilion, the one with the highest cultivation was Old Man Ge Yi. He was at the tenth level of the Qi Cultivation stage, and the rest of the people were at the second or third level. Only a few were at the fifth or sixth level.

Immortal Master Liu and Master Zhang were the weakest of the Qi Cultivating Stage Level 1 experts. However, they were often seen by the common folk and officials. Their reputation was even greater because they had a lot of faith in the public.

"The drought has lasted for half a year, leading to no harvests. Although it hasn't caused too much panic yet, it's not good for you all. The grain depot in the city is already insufficient. If we don't find a way to resolve it now, it might cause chaos. The reason why they had invited everyone here today was to gather their thoughts and discuss how to alleviate the drought and obtain nectar. I wonder what kind of plan you all have? "

Some said that they should continue their practice of opening the altar and use their sincerity to move the heavens. Some also said that the great drought must have been a sign that the emperor of the world was being unreasonable, and should be led by the lord of the city.

He tried to think of a way out, but none of them was feasible. He didn't even mention a single word about the cause of the drought.

"Enough!"

Suddenly, an explosive shout rang out. Li Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it belonged to the scholarly cultivator who had mocked Liu Zhang and Wang Lin earlier.

"You people clearly know the real reason for this drought, but you keep it to yourself and talk things over here. Cultivators should have a heart of heaven above their bodies and sense of the people, not to mention we are the city lord's foreign delegates, we should help the city lord solve his problems. Aren't you ashamed of yourselves for being so crafty? "

The scholarly cultivator's face was flushed red with anger.

"Dao Friend Zheng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!" How do you know that we didn't share the burden? Could it be that Zheng Feng has always been willing to serve the people, and only you have the Heavenly Heart of the upper body and the will of the people? "

A black-clothed cultivator darkly opened his mouth and his gaze was like ice as he stared at the scholarly cultivator named Zheng Feng.

"That's right, Dao Friend Zheng. You're too alarmist. If we knew the true cause of this drought, how could we possibly hide it from you?" Since your fellow Daoist Zheng thinks he's upright and upright, then tell me, what is the real reason behind this drought? Why would we hide it from you? "

"That's right, what's the reason? Dao Friend Zheng, please tell us. Let us have a good look as well!"

It was as if Zheng Feng's words were like a blow to a hornet's nest, instantly provoking the wrath of the crowd.

Li Yi was a bit surprised. It seemed that there really was an inside story. However, these cultivators seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and never mentioned it. Perhaps they were afraid of something.

"Humph!" Just say it. Don't think that I will be like you all and fear the powers of the Flaming Cult. Isn't it because of the Blazing Mountain … "

"Shut up!"

The black clothed cultivator's loud shout interrupted Zheng Feng's words: "Dao Friend Zheng, there are some things you cannot say. Be careful of the trouble that comes from the mouth!"

Before he finished speaking, his aura had already locked onto Zheng Feng. From his posture, as long as Zheng Feng said anything wrong, he would immediately make his move.

Zheng Feng was only at the 2nd level of the Qi Cultivating Stage. He was at the bottom of the crowd like Immortal Master Liu and Master Zhang Tian Shi, while the black-clothed cultivator was at the 6th level of the Qi Cultivating Stage, only second to Old Bai. Of course, this didn't include Li Yi and Leng Linglong.

When the black-clothed cultivator exploded out, Zheng Feng's imposing manner froze, and after a long while, he angrily said: "The difference between the Dao is completely different! Zheng couldn't be like you and others. Since he couldn't tell the truth, he naturally didn't have the face to continue staying in the City Lord's Mansion. City Lord, forgive me for my lack of manners and for being unable to continue holding the position of Guest Warrior.

With that, he left the pergola in large strides.

After this disturbance, the banquet could no longer continue. Zhao Miaoxue could only helplessly announce the end of the banquet and discuss it another day.

The black clothed cultivator quickly chased after Zheng Feng without saying a word. Li Yi gave Leng Linglong a look and followed the black clothed cultivator.

Both of them were intelligent people. Previously, when Li Yi asked about Old Bai, he was only a little curious and did not show the slightest hint of fear. It could be seen that Li Yi and Old Bai did not place any importance on Li Yi at all.

The two of them naturally knew what this meant. Thus, what they had to do now was to tightly hug Li Yi and the other two's legs. If they missed this opportunity, they might not have another chance like this in the future.

When Li Yi and Leng Linglong walked to the front hall of the City Lord's Mansion, they saw the black clothed cultivator and Zheng Feng arguing about something. Seeing Li Yi and the others come out, the black clothed youth ruthlessly left behind a few words before hurriedly leaving the City Lord's Mansion.

"Zheng Feng, no one will stop you if you leave, but you'd better watch your mouth. Otherwise, be careful of dying without a burial ground!"

"Fellow Daoist Zheng, please wait a moment!"

Seeing that Zheng Feng was about to leave with a dejected face, Li Yi quickly called out to him.

"It's Brother Li. I wonder what business do you have with me?"

Although Zheng Feng had a straightforward disposition and hated evil like a hatred, he was not a fool. He could tell that Li Yi and Liu Yi's cultivation were not ordinary. Now that Li Yi was smiling at him, he naturally couldn't treat them coldly.

"This humble one really has some things that I want to ask Dao Friend Zheng, but it's not too convenient to talk here. How about we find a quiet place to chat?"

"This …"

Zheng Feng was obviously a bit hesitant and wasn't sure about Li Yi and Leng Linglong's intentions.

"Fellow Daoist Zheng, there is no need to worry. The two of us did not have any ill intentions, but during the feast, you mentioned the real reason for the drought. We are very interested in it, so we would like to ask you for more details."

"This, okay, anyway, I'm going to leave this place. I don't want to say some things, so I'll find a place to talk to Fellow Daoist Li!"

After looking at Immortal Master Liu and Master Zhang, Li Yi thought for a moment and then said, "If Fellow Liu and Fellow Zhang are free, you can come along too. How about it?"

Liu Zhang's group of two was overjoyed upon hearing this as they nodded their heads. The five of them left the City Lord's Mansion and headed out of Yue Su City.
