C3938 The Castellan's Attitude Was That of a City Lord
When he heard this word, Jing Xiaofei's stone-like face finally started to relax.
However, it soon recovered.
"Yes. It is a kind of insect. However, we don't know what it is. We just caught a glimpse of it when we were running for our lives." Fu Xue answered honestly.
Jing Xiaofei nodded his head and sighed. He said, "What a troubled time. Even the Third Elder of the Yuan Clan fell for it. The demons are really going all out this time. They won't stop until they turn the entire Central Plains upside down."
Seeing this, Fu Xue understood the meaning behind his words and quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "I beg the City Lord to help us save our captain and ancestor. The Fu Family will reward you handsomely."
"I beg the City Lord to help." Fu Yanshan also knelt on one knee.
"I beg the City Lord to help." Zuo Zhao didn't hesitate.
On the other hand, Xiao Long had an arrogant expression. He didn't kneel down, but bowed and asked, "City Lord, please help!"
This was already extremely rare for him. After all, his pride as a World Exterminating Demon Dragon bloodline did not allow him to lower his head.
However, there seemed to be no better choice at the moment.
In response to their requests, Jing Xiaofei only smiled. He did not care, nor did he answer them directly. Instead, he asked curiously, "So, the demon's minions appeared and attacked you. How did you escape?"
After Fu Xue heard this, her face became a bit gloomy, and she said, "It was Captain who lured away those two evil cultivators who were related to the demon race, and then we took the opportunity to escape."
Jing Xiaofei chuckled. He was a little surprised, and he couldn't help but recall Chen Xiao's appearance in his mind. He now had a different opinion of this young human Immortal Martial Cultivator.
However, that was all.
It was admirable to risk one's life for one's own subordinates, but it was also too reckless and unwise.
As expected, young people were full of vigor. If what this woman said was true, then Chen Xiao would most likely die. The demon race was not to be trifled with. There must be a reason for them to suddenly appear here. It seemed that the Setting Sun City would not be peaceful in the future.
When Fu Xue saw this, she was a little angry and asked, "Why is the City Lord laughing?"
"It's nothing. It's rare to see such a hot-blooded and loyal young man. I heard that this Chen Xiao is quite famous in the Quinan Province and is one of the best among the young generation of the human race. I wonder if it's true."
Jing Xiaofei said casually. He was a little arrogant, but he didn't really care.
After all, he wasn't a human, and the death of a human had nothing to do with him. He was just watching from the side and wouldn't interfere.
"Yes, City Lord."
Jing Yan stood below the throne and replied respectfully.
It was obvious that he knew a bit about Chen Xiao. His eyes even threw a provocative look at Fu Xue and the others as he said coldly, "If Chen Xiao and Old Madam Fu were really targeted by the fangs of the devil race, then they are most likely dead."
His tone was filled with schadenfreude.
Fu Xue was furious and retorted, "Nonsense, my captain and ancestor will return safely."
"You!"
Zuo Zhao and Xiao Long, who were at the side, also glared at Jing Yan. These words were too malicious. If it wasn't for the fact that the City Lord of Jing City was right in front of them and someone dared to speak rudely to Chen Xiao, Xiao Long wouldn't have been able to bear it.
However, reason still overcame the anger in his heart. One could imagine the consequences of attacking Jing Xiaofei.
Jing Yan could see this very clearly and became even more arrogant as he laughed coldly, "What? Am I wrong?"
"You...!"
Zuo Zhao's eyes were full of blood. He stared at the enemy angrily. He almost turned into a man-eating beast.
Fu Xue took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She spoke in a deep voice, "City Lord, is this what you want?"
Jing Xiaofei gave a silent smile and raised his hand, signaling Jing Yan to shut up. He then slowly said, "If you guys are interested, you can stay in Luori City and rest for a while. It will be safe in the city. As for what you said, I will send my men to investigate. As for the result, heh."
Although the other side didn't directly reject him, their meaning was very clear.
Although this matter was extremely weird, and there were traces of the demon race within the territory of Setting Sun City, Jing Xiaofei wouldn't do anything. All he needed to do was guard the city.
What happened outside the city had nothing to do with him. This was his attitude.
Fu Xue obviously knew what this meant, but she was still unwilling to give up. She continued, "City Lord Jing, please help us. My Fu Family and the Purple Cloud City will definitely reward you handsomely. Furthermore, if you manage to track the demon race, it will be a great contribution. The Immortal Castle will also remember your contribution."
"Immortal Castle? Heh," said Jing Xiaofei with a contemptuous smile. His face showed that he was trying to be patient again, but in the end, all he could say was, "Not interested."
"This..." Fu Yanshan's expression was dark. He wanted to say something, but he held it in.
Since Fu Xue had already requested him twice, it was pointless for him to waste his breath.
At this moment, if they wanted to find the whereabouts of Chen Xiao and the Ancestor, they would have to rely on themselves.
"Forget it. We will leave the city and find a way to save them. Goodbye," Fu Xue said firmly.
Immediately, the few of them turned around and left, not wanting to stay any longer.
"Wait."
Right at this moment, Jing Xiaofei suddenly spoke, and joy appeared on their faces. They thought that he had changed his mind.
Fu Xue quickly said, "City Lord Jing, are you willing to help?"
Jing Xiaofei calmly shook his head and said, "No, I just wanted to remind you that it is very dangerous outside the city right now. With me guarding inside the city, it will be safe, but outside the city, no one can guarantee it."
... "" Fu Xue fell silent and couldn't help but think about what happened just now.
That day, several Tribulation Transcenders from the Qi Family were chased by unknown people outside the city, but they were blocked outside the city and couldn't enter. Countless cultivators watched them die.
This was the rule of Setting Sun City. Jing Xiaofei's words were absolute.
"Yes," Fu Xue replied and didn't say anything else.
After everyone left the hall, Jing Yan turned around and looked at Jing Xiaofei, "Dad, why don't you let me take some people to confirm the situation so that we can prevent anything from happening?"
He was disdainful toward Fu Xue and company's request for help. It didn't matter even if the humans died.
However, the appearance of the demon race in Luori City was related to the safety of the entire city, so he was very concerned.
Jing Xiaofei thought for a while and said, "Yan'er, I know what you're thinking. Give up on this idea as soon as possible. We won't get involved in anything else. Just focus on guarding the Setting Sun City."
Jing Xiaofei's words were full of authority.
However, Jing Yan was unwilling and said, "But what if the demon race really wants to deal with Luori City? Are we just going to sit here and do nothing?"
"They won't."
A weird smile appeared on Jing Xiaofei's face as he spoke.
