"What happened?"
Seeing the elder's expression, Long Daozhi immediately sensed something was wrong and stepped forward to ask.
"City Lord, it's — it's the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect."
The elder said.
"The Flying Feather Heavenly Sect?"
"What about them?"
"Could it be that they think I've delayed too long and have changed their minds? They don't want to wait anymore?"
Long Daozhi's expression grew tense.
"No, it's Young Hero Chu Feng — he's offended the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect."
The elder said.
"Chu Feng?"
"What happened? Tell me quickly."
Upon learning that Chu Feng had gotten into a conflict with the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect, Long Daozhi was no longer merely tense — he had become somewhat panicked.
The elder then recounted the events in full.
The reason this elder knew so quickly was that the people from the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect had already come knocking at their door.
"Hss…"
After hearing the full account, Long Daozhi's brow furrowed deeply.
As for Long Ning and the others from Ancestral Martial Dragon City, their faces were all etched with worry, unsure of what to do.
The reason they were so anxious was precisely because they knew exactly who the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect was.
In short, in their eyes, the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect was not someone to be crossed under any circumstances.
But Chu Feng had gone and provoked them anyway, which naturally gave them a massive headache.
Especially since Chu Feng had close ties with Ancestral Martial Dragon City — Long Daozhi couldn't simply wash his hands of it, and that was what made him so vexed.
"Chu Feng, honestly — of all people, why did he have to go and provoke the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect?"
Long Ning grumbled with a face full of resentment.
In truth, in Long Ning's heart, Chu Feng was one of her very few genuine friends.
If anything happened to him, she would be willing to help.
But she also understood all too well how important the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect was to Ancestral Martial Dragon City at this moment, which was why she couldn't help but complain.
"Long Ning, the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect has always been overbearing. This matter is absolutely not Young Hero Chu Feng's fault."
"Now that it's happened, we simply need to resolve it."
"All of you, please wait here. I'll go and be right back."
As Long Daozhi spoke, he was already preparing to take flight.
Seeing this, while Wuming Doutian and the others remained behind, Long Ning and the other powerhouses of Ancestral Martial Dragon City followed along.
After all, this was a matter concerning Ancestral Martial Dragon City.
Soon, Long Daozhi and his group arrived at the main hall of Ancestral Martial Dragon City.
Although the exterior of the hall was guarded entirely by Ancestral Martial Dragon City's people, inside the hall was a completely different faction.
These were the people of the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect.
Among them, the strongest was a gaunt old man with a sharp, crafty face.
He was the Sect Master of the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect.
And standing beside the Sect Master was a young woman.
She was none other than the female disciple who had been injured by Chu Feng earlier.
At this moment, every member of the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect wore a fierce, menacing expression, and upon seeing Long Daozhi arrive, they unleashed their fury without restraint.
"City Lord Long, you must give us an explanation!"
The members of the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect all shouted and berated him.
They were merely elders of the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect, yet they showed absolutely no respect toward Long Daozhi.
"Ah, how can you be so rude to City Lord Long?"
"Fall back at once!"
The Sect Master of the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect suddenly spoke up.
At this moment, he was seated in the seat of honor within the main hall, sipping tea with an air of leisurely composure — a stark contrast to the rage radiating from his sect members.
But upon seeing him, Long Ning and quite a few others from Ancestral Martial Dragon City all showed expressions of displeasure.
This hall was the main hall of Ancestral Martial Dragon City, and that seat of honor was the City Lord's throne — a seat that only Long Daozhi, the City Lord, was permitted to occupy.
Yet now, the Sect Master of the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect had taken that seat, showing utter disregard for Long Daozhi.
Though his outward manner was courteous, everyone knew that within the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect, the most outrageous people were actually him and his brother.
But given that Ancestral Martial Dragon City currently needed their help, and knowing full well the Flying Feather Heavenly Sect's extraordinary background, even someone with Long Ning's fiery temper dared not say a word.
"Sect Master Dian, regarding the injury to your disciple, I have already been informed."
"Young Hero Chu Feng is, however, a distinguished guest of our Ancestral Martial Dragon City. Could you perhaps do me the courtesy of letting this matter go?"
Long Daozhi wasted no words upon entering the hall and went straight to the matter of Chu Feng.
"So that ignorant little brat who doesn't know the height of heaven or the depth of earth really is City Lord Long's guest."
