Chapter 1578: Chapter 1580: Do You Like Being Insulted?

The young man at the Golden Core stage is Bi Rong, the Young Sect Leader of the Zhanlong Sect.

He is the typical type who reached the Golden Core stage by relying on elixir, and he is considered insignificant among Golden Core stage cultivators.

But, what is he most skilled at?

Deceit and trickery.

He has led teams to raid many cities, plundering populations and committing robbery, virtually all of which were his ideas.

So, though he may not be skilled in martial arts, he still has quite a few supporters.

This time, he accidentally discovered the cigarettes that recently became widespread in several cities.

Other cultivators see them as nothing and buy them just for enjoyment.

However, he immediately sensed the huge profit potential within it.

After all, he had smelled this aroma before in Linren City, and knew that this plant could only exist in the environment of Linren City.

So, he made up his mind and led his supporters straight to Linren City.

He didn’t even notify the members of the Zhanlong Sect.

He wants to enjoy this piece of cake all by himself!

So, he won’t destroy the city, won’t kill many people, he wants Linren City to silently fall under his control, and then quietly make a huge profit.

After all, once a commotion attracts attention from all sides, this piece of cake would be divided up.

"Your business is doing quite well." Bi Rong looked at Wu Wei, who was in charge of the cigarette business: "Did you invent this?"

"This... yes!" Wu Wei paused slightly, then nodded and said.

He knows that today Linren might have a chance to survive, but he himself certainly won’t.

This Bi Rong wouldn’t allow a second person who controls the production method to exist.

So, rather than exposing Lu Xiaobu, he’d rather take responsibility himself, and let Lu Xiaobu remember this favor and protect his son Wu Shaopu.

"Oh? Is that so? How come I heard otherwise." Bi Rong said mockingly: "But no matter, we’ll see soon enough."

...

Time passed.

Soon, Lu Xiaobu and his group returned to Linren City.

At this moment, Linren City was filled with cultivators flying around.

When they saw something good, they would directly fly over and snatch it.

Some even treated humans as beasts, forcing them to fight each other, leaving only one survivor.

Often, these two people were husband and wife or father and son!

They took pleasure in this.

"Outrageous!" Lin Lei was instantly furious.

He is the Young City Lord here; these people are his citizens.

Now being humiliated like this, how could he not be angry?!

He unsheathed his sword: "Swift!"

In an instant, a flying sword shot towards the cultivator forcing a father and son to harm each other!

"Clang!"

Lin Lei’s flying sword was blocked by someone.

At this time, the other cultivators immediately noticed Lin Lei and his group’s presence.

"Hey, the Young City Lord is back!" one cultivator looked at Lin Lei mockingly.

"Quick, notify the Young Sect Leader, tell him Lin Lei is back." another cultivator shouted.

"No need, I know."

Bi Rong’s voice came over.

Soon, a figure quickly appeared before Lu Xiaobu and his companions.

And he didn’t come empty-handed.

He held a rope in his hand, and on the rope were Lin Ren, Jiang Lei, and Wu Wei.

At this moment, they had lost all the demeanor of City Lord and Family Head, and being dragged across the ground had left them with bruises and scars all over!

"Dad!"

Lin Lei, Jiang Longjun, Wu Shaopu shouted in unison.

Their eyes were full of fury.

Seeing Lin Lei, Lin Ren shouted loudly: "Run! Hurry and run! This person is Bi Rong, at the early Golden Core stage! You cannot defeat him! Run quickly!"

Wu Wei and Jiang Lei had no cultivation and couldn’t speak at this moment, but their eyes screamed one thing—run! Hurry and run!

"Run? Can you run?"

Bi Rong’s followers had surrounded Lu Xiaobu and his companions, each mocking Lin Lei and the others.

"Enough, I dislike beating around the bush. Lin Lei, make a choice. Submit to me, produce cigarettes for me, or die?" Bi Rong looked at Lin Lei indifferently.

He didn’t glance at the others.

What can a group at the Foundation Establishment Stage even do?

Especially laughable is that there’s even someone at the Qi Refinement Realm, is this a dessert?

"Young Master!"

Lin Lei looked towards Lu Xiaobu, his eyes filled with pleas. Only Lu Xiaobu could save them now.

"Young Master?"

Bi Rong furrowed his brow and looked at Lu Xiaobu.

Logically, Lin Lei should be the Young City Lord here, why is he calling someone else Young Master?!

Lin Ren on the ground also struggled to raise his head to look at Lu Xiaobu.

Though unlikely, at this moment he’s particularly hoping Lu Xiaobu is at the Golden Core stage and can help them get revenge!

Yet, upon looking, Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer?!

Lin Ren’s hope dashed, even replaced by despair!

Can the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer even compare to the early Golden Core stage?!

"Bah!"

Bi Rong laughed: "Are you making me laugh? If so, you’ve succeeded! Young Master?! You call a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer fellow Young Master?"

"Linren City I know is weak, but has it become so weak that even its intelligence is gone?"

"How about this, kneel and kowtow to me twice, and I’ll let you go."

Listening to his words, the surrounding cultivators burst into laughter as well.

"Hahaha! This is hilarious, Young Master? A Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer guy?"

"I could slap a hundred of them to death! Hahaha!"

"Come on, kneel! We’ll keep our promise!"

"..."

How humiliating these words are, not only insulting Lu Xiaobu but also Lin Lei.

Isn’t this your Young Master?!

If your Young Master is kowtowing to us, then what are you?!

Jiang Longjun, Wu Shaopu, and the others were immediately enraged.

But, Lin Ren on the ground suddenly had a glimmer of hope!

He considered a possibility.

Perhaps Lu Xiaobu is enduring disgrace to leave here, grow stronger, and return for revenge!

However!

"I didn’t hear wrong, did I? You dare touch my things?" Lu Xiaobu said calmly at this moment.

Cigarettes are a business he established, now someone wants to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth?

"You insult me?!"

Bi Rong’s smile instantly vanished.

A mere Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, daring not to bow before him was in itself a crime, yet he had the audacity to insult him?

"Do you enjoy hearing it? Then I’ll satisfy your dog’s wish." Lu Xiaobu continued.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Bi Rong’s expression turned thoroughly grim: "I won’t kill you, I’ll make you live in a way worse than death."

Lin Ren was in despair!

He never expected Lu Xiaobu to be so impulsive!

Bi Rong is at the early Golden Core stage!

I know Lu Xiaobu is powerful, stronger than me.

However, this early Golden Core stage can send me flying with a mere slap!

Lu Xiaobu, you should have chosen a smarter approach!

It’s not that he doesn’t have faith in Lu Xiaobu, but faced with such a disparity in power, he simply cannot believe!
