586 Conflict Escalates! (1)
Lin Bei still explained. After all, the person in front of him was a true Original Realm expert. Furthermore, he was an elder of the Azure Dragon Country. Lin Bei did not want to offend him.
Some things were better explained. If there was really a conflict, there was nothing he could do.
Although Qing Mu was at the Original Realm, Lin Bei did not think that he was weaker than the other party.
If they really fought, he was not afraid.
As for his request, he felt that it was very normal. He wanted a few more people to witness it so that no one would interfere and ruin the good thing. Whether it was Lin Bei or the Azure Dragon City, it should be something to be happy about.
Therefore, he spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner and said whatever he wanted.
It was his style to talk about the problem openly. As for secretly tampering, he was not so scheming and did not want to do anything unnecessary.
When Qing Mu heard Lin Bei’s words, he shook his head helplessly again. Recently, he had really been mentally and physically exhausted because of this matter.
“Do I look like a traitor?”
Qing Mu was really helpless. He hated traitors the most.
Back then, Jin Jia defected and even snatched the Inheritance Stone Tablet. This made him furious. He went out alone to search for a few days, but in the end, it was still useless. In addition, Azure Dragon City needed elders to maintain order, so he had no choice but to return to the city in the end and guard the inner city.
However, he was really angry to hear that he might be a traitor!
Although my hair and beard are all white, I have a kind face and don’t look like a bad person no matter how you look at me!
“Elder, please forgive me! I’m also willing to believe that you’re not a traitor, but isn’t this just in case!”
Lin Bei smiled and said, “But then again, a traitor won’t write the word ‘traitor’ on his face. Otherwise, your Elder Jin Jia would have been found long ago. How would he have the chance to cause trouble? So… my worry is reasonable.”
“If traitors write their identities on their faces, who would be afraid of traitors appearing around them? They can be seen directly. Just kill them.”
Lin Bei shrugged, looking stubborn.
He only had one request.
I want to see all the higher-ups here. Otherwise, I won’t be at ease. What if I’m tricked and end up being blamed? Coupled with the fact that this is your territory, who can I reason with?
If he really encountered such a situation, it would really be like yellow mud falling from his pants. Nobody would believe it even if he said it wasn’t sit.
It was better to be safe than sorry. Lin Bei was new here and did not want to be the scapegoat. He knew that these people who held power and authority were all black-hearted.
If he was not careful, he might be tricked.
“Young man, watch your words.”
Qing Mu’s face turned red. Before he could explain further, the City Defense Minister, who was smoking cigarettes at the side, spoke. He took a deep puff of the cigarette and blew it in Lin Bei’s direction. He said calmly, “To say that Elder is a traitor is a serious crime!”
“Oh? You are?”
“Hehe, my name is Shi Yao. I’m a boor. I’m lucky to be valued by the Elder Hall. I’m currently appointed as the Minister of Defense of Azure Dragon City.”
“So it’s the City Defense Minister! Sorry for my lack of respect! But were you trying to frame me with what you said just now?”
Lin Bei cupped his hands, but he changed the topic and said with a smile, “Let’s not talk about anything else. If you want to fight, you can give it a try. Although I’m easy to talk to, if I’m really bullied, I’ll be quite ruthless.”
“You look like a burly man, but you’re really scheming! Why? Do you feel embarrassed seeing me suppress your people and want to do it yourself?”
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes and said without changing his expression, “Let me say the ugly things first. If you want to attack, just say it. Don’t blame any nonsense on me! Moreover, everything I said previously is true. I came here to help Azure Dragon City, not to make myself uncomfortable!”
“Therefore, please pay attention to your words. Your people tried to stop me time and time again. I’m already giving you enough face by not killing them! Do you really think I’m afraid of you just because you’re at the Original Realm?”
Lin Bei’s tone turned colder. He stared at Shi Yao and said word by word, “I’m not afraid of trouble. Besides, you’re only at the first-grade Original Realm. I can beat you up with one hand!”
“You!!!”
After hearing Lin Bei’s words, the veins on Shi Yao’s head bulged, and the surrounding air pressure decreased.
He threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground and extinguished it with the heavy leather boots he was wearing. He lowered his head and walked towards Lin Bei.
Then, Shi Yao’s aura rose.
The surrounding sand and gravel also floated up with his rising aura. Some gravel was also shaken into fine sand by the aura emitted by Shi Yao.
In a breath’s time, the entire inner city barrier was covered in yellow sand, and a violent wind blew.
The uniforms of the Azure Dragon Guards were torn under the flying sand and rocks. There were even bloodstains on some people’s faces.
However, they still did not dare to breathe loudly.
The surrounding crowd was blinded by the yellow sand that filled the sky. They did not dare to stay any longer and fled in the direction of the outer city.
Shi Yao was an Original Realm expert. He mainly cultivated the power of sand and rocks. Not only could he fill the environment with yellow sand to create a battlefield that was extremely beneficial to him, but he could also control the sand and rocks and transform them into various forms for his own use.
Shi Yao approached and stared at Lin Bei with his cold eyes, as if he was about to devour him.
