Chapter 44: Lan Zhen, Ning Fengzhi's Attitude
Standing on the city wall, the scene of corpses strewn across the ground outside was easily visible.
Lan Zheng and the others only regretted arriving a little late, missing the chance to dismember these creatures.
It wasn't that they cared much about the Spirit Masters outside; someone like Dugu Bo didn't care about the lives of these outsiders at all, but he already harbored deep malice towards the Spirit Beasts that attacked Blue Silver City.
This was tantamount to slapping him in the face right in front of him.
They had just heard that a 100,000-Year Soul Beast might be plotting against them, and now it had already arrived.
No, under normal circumstances, Spirit Beasts should have already attacked various gathering places nearby when the news spread in Blue Silver City last night.
As for driving people into Blue Silver City, it might have been intentional or accidental, as Blue Silver City was undoubtedly the strongest in the vicinity of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Their arrival also attracted attention. The Blue Silver Grass Spirit Masters who had left the city wall to rescue people returned, arranged for the injured to be sent into the city for rescue, and had healing-type Spirit Masters assist with treatment.
After handling these matters, they came to the city wall to meet Lan Zheng and the others.
"Lan Zheng, Lan Lu."
Lan Zhen's tone was indifferent as he greeted the two.
"Poison Douluo Your Excellency."
He was also very polite to Dugu Bo.
"Sixth Brother."
Lan Zheng and Lan Lu responded. They were like 'familiar strangers'.
Although they were brothers, there was a significant age gap, and both were solely focused on cultivation, so there was little communication. They basically only discussed matters when necessary and met during occasional family gatherings.
"Greetings, Sixth Young Master."
Dugu Bo had actually only met Lan Zhen a few times. After all, Lan Tian had so many descendants that he couldn't possibly know them all.
He only knew that the other party was Lan Tian's son.
After a pause, he chose a form of address.
It was a formality, something he was very unaccustomed to.
But no matter what, it was all for Lan Tian's sake.
"I will handle things here. As for those guys over there, I'll leave them to you."
"You also contact Father's side."
Lan Zhen didn't care about the address and directly gave instructions.
His personality was somewhat cold; even when facing his own brothers, he maintained that demeanor.
In reality, he was warm-hearted despite his cold exterior, otherwise he wouldn't have gone outside the city to save people just now.
"Those guys, we'll handle them."
Lan Zheng and Lan Lu looked towards the people from other forces who had already approached the city gate.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had come together.
They quickly nodded.
That side had clearly been paying attention to the situation here and was just waiting to come over.
Among the crowd, Yu Xiaogang watched from afar as people, looking battered and bruised, entered the city.
And listening to the conversations of other forces nearby, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
He had received news of the Blue Silver City attack early in the morning.
No matter the reason, it made him feel pleased.
As for the others, Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly.
At first, they thought Blue Silver City was just targeting a 100,000-Year Soul Beast and then framing Tang Hao, and they had even planned to cooperate with Blue Silver City to get a share of the spoils.
But later, they received news that there were other 100,000-Year Soul Beast riots behind this, which made things a bit troublesome.
Now it seemed that the 100,000-Year Soul Beast attacking Blue Silver City was inevitable and had already acted.
He also had similar thoughts to Dugu Bo and the others.
The Spirit Beast's actions must have started yesterday, so he was also considering whether to stand with Blue Silver City.
As he pondered, when he saw Lan Zheng and the others approaching, a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Two Clan Masters, Poison Douluo Your Excellency."
"I really didn't expect such an accident. We were originally going to help, but it's already been resolved."
"The strength of Blue Silver City is truly beyond imagination."
He didn't forget to praise Blue Silver City, but he wondered if it was an illusion.
The pressure Lan Lu exerted on him seemed even stronger than yesterday.
As they approached, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, who were nearby, also noticed something and looked at the Lan Zheng brothers a few more times.
Both were a little surprised, but it was inconvenient to say anything more at this time.
"Then thank you all for your kindness. If there's a need, I will bring it up."
Lan responded smoothly, not caring about the other party's hypocrisy.
Yu Luomian stood by, not speaking, appearing somewhat like an appendage of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Okay, no problem."
"Old Master Lan doesn't seem to have come out."
Ning Fengzhi looked observant, also revealing his purpose.
No matter what, he had to see Lan Tian first.
The specifics would depend on whether the other party could agree to his terms.
If there were no benefits, they might just watch from the sidelines, enjoying the show.
"Such a small matter naturally doesn't require Father to appear. We will handle it ourselves."
"If there are no surprises, Father should only come out on the day of the birthday banquet."
Feeling that the man in front of him smiled like a fox, Lan Zheng spoke directly.
Although he could tell the other party wanted to see his father.
But he couldn't just let them see him whenever they wanted.
He wanted to see him now too.
With something like this happening in Blue Silver City, he had to contact him.
As for everyone else, they could wait.
"We..." Ning Fengzhi still wanted to say more, but before he could start.
Sword Douluo, who was beside him, had already interrupted him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Alright, Fengzhi, they have their own matters now. Let's wait a few days."
"We won't disturb them."
Sword Douluo spoke, interrupting their original thoughts and plans.
They even gave up on seeing Lan Tian.
Yu Luomian looked at Sword Douluo beside him.
But he opened his mouth and still said nothing. 'Your strength is greater, so you decide.'
"Then we won't disturb you. If you need help, just call me."
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo had many years of friendship, so he naturally knew that the other party wouldn't interrupt him for no reason at such a time.
There must have been some discovery, and he also changed his words.
After exchanging greetings, the group quickly left. They came and went in a hurry, while the Spirit Hall people were still watching the commotion, but didn't get too close.
"That guy, he discovered your strength."
Dugu Bo slowly spoke after they left.
"So what if he discovered it? With our brothers' strength, our Spirit fusion can now directly confront them."
Lan Lu wasn't very concerned. Although their Spirits were still Blue Silver Grass, they weren't very good at hiding.
At least in front of a Level 95 Super Douluo, hiding their strength at such a close distance was still a bit lacking.
"We never intended to hide it. Let them guess."
"At worst, we'll call Big Brother and the others back. A few Titled Douluo and a few 100,000-Year Soul Beasts can't stir up much trouble."
Lan added from the side, appearing even more ruthless than Lan Lu.
If it really came down to it and there was no other way, they would flip the table and directly close the doors to deal with them.
Although that would put Blue Silver City's decades of foundation on the gambling table, he still believed they had a chance.
"We should inform Old Master Lan about this as soon as possible."
"Bring my boy back too."
When Dugu Bo couldn't contact Lan Tian, he also guessed where the other party had gone.
Hearing that a life-and-death situation might arise, he even wanted to call his son and daughter-in-law back.
As for the other side, Ning Fengzhi and the others looked at Sword Douluo after walking a few streets.
He also spoke about what he had discovered.
Both of them already had the aura of a Titled Douluo, and one had even obtained his ninth spirit ring.
