Chapter 1577: Chapter 1579: Cat Playing with Mouse

With the martial arts academy behaving like a swarm of locusts passing through, the entire literature college was living in constant fear.

Perhaps someone would say, wasn’t it an old saying that where there is oppression, there will be resistance?

Why don’t they resist!?

Well, let them tell you why they don’t resist.

Can they beat Lu Xiaobu?!

Even if they use underhanded tactics, doesn’t Lu Xiaobu know how to retaliate?

Fine, a fair duel, Lu Xiaobu can’t retaliate!

But don’t forget, the strongest of the same level almost all belong to the martial arts academy!

Tell me, how should they resist?!

The director watched this scene, infuriated, yet helpless.

In fact, he was nearly unable to attend to this now.

Because, compared to the conflict between the literature and martial arts colleges, there were more problems within their literature college now!

First, it was the issue of resource distribution, a significant portion of the literature college now comprised people from the former outer court.

These people originally were not allocated resources, but now whether to distribute, and how much to distribute, was a huge problem.

Second, was the conflict between the original outer court and the original inner court!

They dared not act against the martial arts college, so they vented their resentment on this status!

People from the inner court felt that those from the outer court were snatching their resources and were unqualified to dwell here with them.

People from the outer court felt, why do you look down on us?! If you have the guts, go and deal with the martial arts college!

So, you see, the entire literature college was in chaos, with fights breaking out everywhere.

The director’s head was about to explode!

...

The literature college was bustling with activity, while the martial arts college was extremely quiet.

After receiving such a large amount of resources, their cultivation speed soared sky-high!

So, after just three short days, everyone had reached a bottleneck period.

Not everyone was Lu Xiaobu, after all.

They had absorbed so much energy that they were somewhat overstuffed.

Li Zhilai was the most emotional about it.

His feelings now were very complicated.

He actually got overstuffed!

To know that being overstuffed was something he had never dared to think about before.

Even though he was part of Nanshan City’s City Guard Army, and his family had some capital, it was never like this before, where all his cultivation was provided by spirit stones.

And now, their martial arts academy?

Everyone was sitting on piles of spirit stones, the scene was too extravagant.

But, I have to admit, this feeling was exceptionally satisfying!

"Young Master, it’s not good, it’s not good."

Lin Lei hurriedly came to Lu Xiaobu’s side.

"What happened?" Lu Xiaobu was taken aback.

"The people from the Zhanlong Sect have gone to Linren City!" Lin Lei took a deep breath, speaking with a flustered expression.

"Zhanlong Sect? Who are they? What are they doing in Linren City?" Lu Xiaobu frowned, but immediately called people and headed out.

Although it was still unclear what was happening, it was obviously not something good.

As they headed out, Lin Lei explained, "The Zhanlong Sect is a nearby sect."

"Let me explain." Li Zhilai, seeing Lin Lei’s anxious face, interrupted to explain to Lu Xiaobu.

"The closest sect to us is the Zhanlong Sect, and they are the most unfriendly with our Nanshan Academy, often sending people to raid cities and abduct people, the main task of the City Guard Army is to guard against them." Li Zhilai explained.

"Abduct people? For what?" Lu Xiaobu was surprised, this sect even liked doing this sort of thing?

"After all, they’re not a city, so they’re at a disadvantage when it comes to ordinary people, but without ordinary people, how can you have cultivators, right? So they often raid cities to abduct people."

Lin Lei, having calmed down a bit, gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, do you remember the dilapidated appearance of Linren City?"

"Oh, I remember, was that because of them?"

Lu Xiaobu remembered, when he first arrived in Linren City, he was very curious, the city had many signs of repair, he didn’t know why then.

Now he understood.

"Yes, because Linren City is too weak, it’s always bullied." Wu Kai said with a wry smile, shaking his head.

"Isn’t anyone in charge of this matter?" Lu Xiaobu’s eyes narrowed.

"No one handles it, who would? The sects and city-states are inherently at odds, who will intervene? In the end, it can only be said that they deserve it." Li Zhilai shook his head.

"Alright, let’s move quickly then." Lu Xiaobu said.

He had a premonition that this incident probably involved more than just the matter of abducting people, and it might also relate to the three industries he arranged.

They didn’t bring many people.

Aside from Li Zhilai, Ah Da, and Ah Er, the rest were people from Linren City, Lin Lei, Wu Shaopu, Wu Kai, and Jiang Longjun.

Except for Jiang Longjun and Wu Shaopu, everyone was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so they moved very quickly.

...

Linren City, City Lord Mansion.

At this moment, City Lord Linren, Jiang Family Head Jiang Lei, Wu Family Head Wu Wei were gathered here.

In front of them, only a dozen or so City Guard Army remained, with fear written all over their faces!

This person was too strong!

Hundreds of brothers were instantly killed by one move from this person in front of them!

They survived purely by luck!

And that was just one person, there were more of their people on the streets outside!

"Linren, have you thought it through? Do you submit or die?"

A young man, appearing to be around his twenties, sat in the seat originally belonging to Linren, looking at him mischievously.

Oddly enough, he held a cigarette in his hand, taking puffs from it.

"Your demands are too excessive!" Linren gritted his teeth and said, "Are you trying to ignite a war between the city-states and the sects?!"

Yes, just as Lu Xiaobu previously guessed, the Zhanlong Sect’s visit this time was not for abducting people, but to completely subdue Linren City.

And all of this was because of the huge profits brought by the cigarette in the young man’s hand!

Money moves people’s hearts!

The young man sneered disdainfully, "Don’t try to put big labels on me! Who would start a war with our Zhanlong Sect for the sake of you, a little Linren City?"

Then, he waved a hand.

"Pow!"

Linren, in the late Foundation Establishment stage, was sent flying like a rolling gourd, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator was no match at all for the young man!

Yes, despite his young appearance, the young man’s strength was already at the Golden Core Early Stage!

How terrifying!

"No hurry, take your time." The young man said indifferently, "I’ve already sent people to inform your son, I’m sure he’ll return soon, it’s alright if you don’t agree, I believe after witnessing your death with his own eyes, he will agree."

The message Lin Lei received was deliberately sent by this person!

"What!? You scoundrel! If you have the guts, kill me now!"

Linren was furious. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

But, what greeted him was another slap, once again vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

"Why would I kill you now? Don’t worry, it’ll happen." The young man said faintly, filled with the demeanor of a cat playing with a mouse, controlling everything.
