Chapter 1309 1308: Wrath of the Celestial Saint
When Celestial Saint Liu Tiandao commanded, the eight Elders began to operate their Cultivation Technique, searching for Liu Jingchen in the desolate ruins.
At that moment, with a swish, a person flew from a distant peak and landed before Liu Tiandao and the eight Elders.
All the Saint Guards immediately darted out, surrounding the newcomer at the core.
"Who is this person?" The Saint Guards shouted like thunder.
Swish.
The person in the center immediately knelt before Liu Tiandao, clasped his fists, and respectfully said, "Subordinate Qin Ying, is the City Lord of Panlong City, paying respects to the Celestial Saint!"
Indeed, this flying person was Qin Ying.
The reason Qin Ying had not left the vicinity of Dragon Tiger Mountain was that he had long anticipated that either the Celestial Saint or the Elders from the Holy Dragon Realm would come here.
After all, the energy light from the Celestial Saint Gem was emitted from Dragon Tiger Mountain, and even if the Celestial Saint wasn't here to save Liu Jingchen, he would certainly come to investigate.
Liu Tiandao's gaze fell upon Qin Ying's face and said, "Are you the City Lord of Panlong City?"
"I am the City Lord of Panlong City," Qin Ying hastily replied.
Though Liu Tiandao is the supreme ruler of the Holy Dragon Continent, he delegates the management of the ten cities of the Holy Dragon to Grand Elder Fan Zong, while he focuses more on Cultivation, seeking the infinite realm of Saint Dao strength.
Therefore, Liu Tiandao seldom sees Qin Ying, thus he doesn't quite remember Qin Ying's appearance, but he knows the City Lord of Panlong City is Qin Ying.
"Celestial Saint, he indeed is the City Lord of Panlong City," Fan Zong confirmed to Liu Tiandao.
Liu Tiandao nodded and then said to Qin Ying, "Rise, Qin Ying! Why are you here rather than in Panlong City?"
Qin Ying's face showed a sorrowful expression and said, "In response to the Celestial Saint, I wish to return to Panlong City, but I cannot go back anymore."
Liu Tiandao and Grand Elder Fan Zong exchanged a puzzled look.
Fan Zong asked Qin Ying, "Why can't you return?"
"Because right now, a person named Lin Fei has control over Panlong City. If I return, my life would immediately be in danger, so I had no choice but to flee." Qin Ying sighed with sadness.
"What exactly happened?" Fan Zong couldn't help but ask immediately.
"Grand Elder of the Holy Dragon Realm, don't you know, Lin Fei has already used iron-fisted methods to capture the City Lord Lu Shen of Qiushui City, the City Lord Xu Hong of Celestial Phoenix City, and the City Lord Gongsun Zhong of Liufeng City? He demands the four of our cities pledge allegiance to him and has forced many Cultivators from our cities to reconstruct palatial buildings in Thousand Dragon City," Qin Ying explained to Fan Zong with embellishments.
Of course, Fan Zong had received some intelligence, knowing there was conflict between Lin Fei and the four City Lords, but he wasn't aware of the specifics. Now that he heard Qin Ying's words, his expression turned serious.
Regardless of whether Qin Ying spoke truthfully, merely Lin Fei's control over four cities alone and the capture of three City Lords already violated taboos of the Holy Dragon Continent.
A single individual's strength to such extent that threatens the Celestial Saint's influence would never be permitted.
Moreover, Lin Fei also forced the four cities' Cultivators to massively reconstruct palatial buildings in Thousand Dragon City, acting imperial and seemingly taking himself as the supreme ruler of the Holy Dragon Continent.
This blatant challenge to the Celestial Saint's dominion of the Holy Dragon Continent was far too apparent.
"Qin Ying, I ask you, do you know where Lin Fei is now?" At this moment, Celestial Saint Liu Tiandao's gaze was fierce as he looked at Qin Ying.
Qin Ying could clearly feel Liu Tiandao suppressing a suffocating rage.
He knew the fabricated story had thoroughly enraged Liu Tiandao, and secretly he was pleased.
"In response to the Celestial Saint, I previously posed as a high Cultivator from the Gongsun family, mingling among the Gongsun family's many experts, feigned death to evade, and overheard that Lin Fei and his group abducted the Celestial Saint's eldest son to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range." Qin Ying promptly revealed everything he had overheard.
"Fifth Elder, Sixth Elder, take ten Saint Guards to Thousand Dragon City and eliminate Lin Fei's forces there who aid oppression!" Liu Tiandao's gaze gleamed with murderous intention as he authoritatively spoke to the two Elders.
The two Elders were respectively the Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder.
They immediately clasped their fists towards Liu Tiandao and replied, "Yes, Celestial Saint."
Then, the Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder led ten Saint Guards and flew away.
Liu Tiandao continued to speak to Fan Zong, "Grand Elder, let us also proceed to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range."
"Yes, Celestial Saint."
Subsequently, Celestial Saint Liu Tiandao, Fan Zong, the Elders, and Qin Ying along with the Saint Guards flew out of the Dragon Tiger Mountain area, heading towards the Cloud Mist Mountain Range east of Ten Thousand Swords City.

Cloud Mist Mountain Range, within the hidden valley's cave dwelling.
This cave dwelling, concealed within the mountain's core, was exceedingly spacious, enough to accommodate several hundred people, with the cave height reaching over ten meters, and the cave ceiling had numerous stalactites.
The air inside the cave was suffused with Holy Spirit Qi from the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Lin Fei, Leng Ying, and Qin Yunyue surveyed this tall and large cave dwelling hidden within the mountain and were very satisfied.
Then, Lin Fei instructed Leng Ying, Yuan Yuxi, Su Xiaoyue, Chen Xinyi, Qingcheng, and Wang Yixin, "In the coming days, I will enhance the strength of Yun Yue, Ruyan, Senior Sister, Zimo, Ruoxi, Li Qing, and Wenbo. You are responsible for guarding."
Leng Ying and the others immediately replied, "Understood, Lin Fei."
Last time, Lin Fei had already enhanced the strength of Leng Ying, Yuan Yuxi, Chen Xinyi, and Su Xiaoyue, while Qin Yunyue, Qin Zimo, and Qian Songyixue had not yet received the enhancement.
This time, while taking refuge in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Lin Fei could finally strengthen them.
Immediately, Leng Ying, Yuan Yuxi, and others went to guard outside the cave, while Lin Fei secluded himself with Qin Zimo and Qian Songyixue to cultivate within the cave dwelling.
Thousand Dragon City – Main City.
With numerous Cultivators from Panlong City, Liufeng City, Celestial Phoenix City, and Qiushui City participating in the reconstruction of Thousand Dragon City, within the main city, there was a fervent scene of construction.
Above the City Lord's Mansion, Ouyang Stone, Cheng He, and the nine Patriarchs led numerous skilled Cultivators from the mansion, hovering in mid-air, observing the bustling reconstruction scene of Thousand Dragon City; their faces showed delight.
They couldn't have imagined in their wildest dreams that Thousand Dragon City could command four Cultivation Cities, compelling vast numbers of Cultivators to willingly serve as laborers for the city's reconstruction.
It's due to Lin Fei that Thousand Dragon City could achieve such authoritative status.
Every one of the nine Patriarchs was proud to have such an illustrious City Lord.
Xu Hong, Lu Shen, and today's newcomer Gongsun Zhong, though they held the title of City Lords, were no more than servants at this moment, obediently standing beside the nine Patriarchs and Ouyang Stone.
"Vice City Lord Ouyang, our four Cultivation Cities dispatched a total of eighty thousand skilled Cultivators. Within less than a month, Thousand Dragon City will be restored to its former glory," Gongsun Zhong respectfully spoke to Ouyang Stone.
Ouyang Stone slightly nodded but appeared exceedingly stern and said, "Had your cities not deployed such a number for reconstructing Thousand Dragon City and had paid the Dragon Gold Coin compensation in full, our City Lord Lin would not have granted you this opportunity."
"Yes, yes, Vice City Lord Ouyang, you are correct." Gongsun Zhong, Lu Shen, and Xu Hong nodded promptly.
While speaking, several figures were suddenly seen flying in from the sky's edge, heading straight towards the main city of Thousand Dragon City.
