Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique-Chapter 225 - 28 City Lord
Chapter 225: Chapter 28 City Lord
Lin Feng had just arrived in Moonfall City when he was surprised to learn that the news of his slaying the Blood Robe Beast Tamer had already spread throughout the city.
He looked at the soldiers with some astonishment and asked, “Do you recognize me?”
The leading captain hurriedly said, “Recognize you, of course, we do! Young Master Lin pursued the Blood Robe Beast Tamer and his men alone for a hundred miles, slaying hundreds of Fierce Beasts and Beastman Soldiers, and in the end, even the Blood Robe Beast Tamer was killed by you. The tale has long since spread.”
Lin Feng was slightly surprised, for he hadn’t thought that this matter would be known to everyone already.
Lin Feng said, “It was nothing much; it was what I should have done.”
The guard captain immediately teared up and said, “Young Master doesn’t know. Many of the relatives of our soldiers in the northwest died in that battle twenty years ago. Countless people deeply loathed the Blood Robe Beast Tamer to the core. Even my father and two uncles died tragically in that battle twenty years ago. Young Master, by slaying the Blood Robe Beast Tamer, you have avenged our deep-seated hatred. Please allow me to bow down to you.”
Lin Feng quickly helped the guard captain to his feet and said, “Please don’t do this. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of his country. I believe that no matter who it was, as long as they were capable, they would have done the same. By the way, have the students from Azure Dragon Academy arrived at the City Lord’s residence?”
“They have been here for many days, waiting for Young Master Lin’s arrival! Quick, you two go and inform Lord City Master and the students from Azure Dragon Academy,” the guard leader directed two soldiers.
“Yes, sir!” After receiving the command, the two soldiers hurried inside to deliver the message.
In no time at all, a large group of people ran out quickly—it was the people from Azure Dragon Academy.
“Captain, you finally returned.”
Long Shiyou, Wu Ming, Yann Qian, and others all ran over excitedly.
Everyone’s gaze was filled with excitement. When they looked at Lin Feng, it was almost a look of worship.
Who was it that almost single-handedly led everyone in repelling the siege of the Silver-eyed Blood Wolf pack and the Beastman Empire soldiers?
It was Lin Feng!
Who was it that spent an enormous cost, offered his own blood as a sacrifice, performed secret techniques, and boosted everyone with Holy Armor, allowing everyone to survive that brutal battle?
It was Lin Feng!
Who was it?
Who, disregarding personal danger, chased alone for hundreds of miles, slaying hundreds of Silver-eyed Blood Wolves and soldiers of the Beastman Empire?
It was Lin Feng!
And who was it?
Who battled through blood, killing the Blood Robe Beast Tamer who had mustered the Fierce Beast Army to butcher eighty thousand sons of True Martial Country twenty years ago?
It was still Lin Feng!
Any one of these feats could be considered miraculous, but all these deeds were done by Lin Feng.
Now, the students from Azure Dragon Academy had fought alongside Lin Feng, almost turning into fervent followers of his.
Xuanyuan Zhan and Xiao Yafei, among the crowd, looked at Lin Feng with complex eyes.
They remembered how naive Lin Feng was when he first joined Jialan Academy.
How much time had passed?
Lin Feng had become a person they needed to look up to.
Lin Feng gave Long Shiyou and the others a bear hug and asked with a smile, “How is everyone’s recovery?”
“We are fully recovered and just waiting to show our mettle!” Wu Ming said with a laugh.
“The City Lord has arrived!”
At that moment, a voice rang out, and everyone made way.
Lin Feng looked over and saw the City Lord.
Lin Feng was quite surprised to discover that the city lord was a woman.
Moreover, she was a stunningly beautiful woman.

This woman was tall and wore chain armor; her hair tied up, with a treasure sword hanging at her waist, and a delicate and beautiful face that bore a slight resemblance to Huang Ling’er.
Before coming, Lin Feng had already learned some news about Moonfall City!
The city lord’s name was Huang Shilan!
She was the only daughter of the Great Marshal Huang Tianfeng’s eldest son!
That is, she was the sister of Huang Lei and Huang Ling’er!
“Lin Feng, it’s so good to have you back,” Huang Ling’er said excitedly as she ran over upon seeing Lin Feng.
“Is this Young Master Lin Feng? I am Huang Shilan, the city lord of Moonfall City. I’ve long admired your great reputation, Young Master Lin.”
Despite her stunning appearance, Huang Shilan handled matters decisively and efficiently, which endeared her to the local populace.
Lin Feng responded, “Lord City Master flatters me too much, I truly don’t deserve such honor.”
“Sister, Lin Feng, let’s not stand on ceremony, let’s head back and chat. I’m sure everyone has a lot of questions for Lin Feng!” Huang Ling’er said.
“Very well, Young Master Lin, after you,” Huang Shilan gestured.
Lin Feng bowed with clasped fists and accompanied Huang Shilan toward the city lord’s residence.
In the great hall, representatives from over a dozen students had arrived, as well as some high-ranking officials from Moonfall City. Everyone was quite interested in the events of that day, so Lin Feng briefly recounted the story.
After a while, Huang Shilan said, “Young Master Lin must be quite tired. Guest rooms are ready, you may rest for now. Tomorrow evening, representatives from the Red Flame Army will also be here, and we will hold a banquet to welcome you properly.”
Lin Feng smiled and replied, “Then I shall take my leave for now.”
The next day, a welcome banquet was set up at the city lord’s residence for Lin Feng, where Zhang Kui, the Great General of the Red Flame Army, came in person. Zhang Kui was over fifty and had been the leader of the Red Flame Army twenty years ago. He had witnessed the Red Flame Army being trampled by countless Fierce Beasts and saw numerous comrades die before his eyes. Even after twenty years, those images were etched in his memory, unforgettable.
After meeting Lin Feng, Zhang Kui gave him a deep bow. Lin Feng, not daring to accept such a gesture, hurriedly helped Zhang Kui up and said, “Great General, you honor me too greatly.”
Zhang Kui said, “This bow is to honor the eighty thousand soldiers who perished under the Fierce Beast Army twenty years ago!”
Lin Feng understood Zhang Kui’s feelings and said, “Those martyrs can finally rest in peace.”
“Yes, they can finally rest in peace,” said Zhang Kui with some emotion.
The banquet for Lin Feng was bustling with high-ranking officers from the Red Flame Army, representatives from the great families of Moonfall City, students from Azure Dragon Academy, and the higher-ups of Moonfall City, all eager to witness Lin Feng’s grace.
Lin Feng’s gaze turned to a cultivator among the Moonfall City’s high-ranking officials.
His eyebrows slightly raised.
That day, even though it was getting dark, Lin Feng, who was hiding in the shadows, still managed to see clearly who was conspiring with the Demon Dao Expert.
It was none other than that man in white among the high ranks of Moonfall City, who seemed to be named Wuu Tiangang!
“Ling’er, who is the person sitting next to your sister?” Lin Feng inquired.
Huang Ling’er replied, “That is Deputy City Lord Wuu Tiangang.”
“It really is him.” A sharp light flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes.
Wuu Tiangang seemed to have noticed something, his suspicious gaze shifting towards Lin Feng.
Yet Lin Feng, without showing any trace, simply gave Wuu Tiangang a slight smile and raised his cup, downing his drink.
Wuu Tiangang also smiled, but his gaze towards Lin Feng held a hint of suspicion. With Lin Feng’s sudden appearance and the disappearance of the person who had overheard his conversation with Lii Daoxie, it was clear that Wuu Tiangang suspected Lin Feng.
