In everyone's mind, they held higher regard for Qingfeng Li than for the City Lord of Emerald Lake City since Qingfeng Li alone had killed all the attacking demonic beasts while the City Lord didn't even show his face.

"Qingfeng Li! Qingfeng Li! Qingfeng Li…"

Countless self-cultivators on the city wall chanted Qingfeng's name with eyes full of feverish worship. Even some half-step spirit monarch realm masters looked at him with admiration.

Strong people were respected everywhere they went, especially Qingfeng Li whose combat ability was beyond imagination.

At the beginning, Qingfeng Li was only a half-step spirit monarch realm master but he had killed several opponents of his own level and had swept across the demonic beasts without a rival.

After the slaughter of 100,000 demonic beasts, he even broke through into the first level spirit monarch realm, which was obvious to all the people around since they could sense the overwhelming presence emitted from his body.

Now they looked at him as if they were admiring a general coming back from a victorious battle.

The moment Qingfeng Li returned to the city wall, countless female self-cultivators crowded to him and some young and beautiful women even taking advantage of him by touching him.

Some of them even tried to kiss him, which made Mengyao Xu and Ya Yun furious.

Reaching out their hands, Mengyao Xu and Ya Yun kept pushing the female self-cultivators away from Qingfeng Li and stopping them from taking advantage of him.

The emperor of Lingyun looked at Qingfeng Li with envy and admiration, wishing he could be like Qingfeng Li and receive all of this attention.

While many self-cultivators on the city wall were full of excitement, Ya Lin, the vice City Lord, looked at Qingfeng Li with chilling light and displeasure in his eyes.

He had hoped the demonic beasts would kill him or at least exhaust his strength so that he would easily kill Qingfeng Li after that. But to his surprise, Qingfeng Li came back not only alive, but with greater strength.

Coldly, Ya Lin looked at the jubilant crowd and yelled, "Don't shout! The City Lord promised to invite Qingfeng Li to the City Lord's mansion for a celebration after defeating the demonic beasts. So don't make us late for it."

Hearing Ya Lin's words, the surrounding self-cultivators began to back off. Obviously, they feared the City Lord.

After all, the Lord of Emerald Lake City was a third level spirit monarch realm master and the absolute No.1 super fighter of the whole city. He had an awe-inspiring reputation among the people in the city.

Casting a cold glance at Qingfeng Li, Ya Lin ignored him and led his way to the City Lord's mansion.

Frowning slightly, Mengyao Xu asked, "Brother Li, shall we go to the City Lord's mansion? We don't know anything about his personality or his attitude toward us."

With a slight smile, Qingfeng Li shook his head and said, "Don't worry. Let's go and find out what kind of person the City Lord is."

With a wave of his hand, Qingfeng Li led Sky Wolf Emperor, Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, the emperor of Lingyun, Sky-Devouring Snake, and Black Puppy toward the City Lord's mansion.

Some powerful self-cultivators including the half-step and first level spirit monarch realm masters, and the Chief Commander also walked toward the City Lord's mansion.

Only super fighters were qualified to enter the City Lord's mansion while the others including the supreme realm masters didn't have the privilege.

Situated in the center of Emerald Lake City and built with green eighth tier meteorite rocks, the City Lord's mansion was a majestic building at least 300 hundred meters high.

On the meteorite rocks were engraved complicated patterns of the Great Emperor's Order Runes.

With a huge area of at least tens of thousands of square miles, the City Lord's mansion had a magnificent giant copper gate with two water tank-sized copper loop knockers. It was an awe-inspiring sight.

At the gate stood two guards who were both half-step spirit monarch realm masters.

With proud half-step spirit monarch realm masters as sentries at the gate, the City Lord was obviously a man of great power and background.

When Qingfeng Li passed the gate, the two sentries glanced at him indifferently. Instead of showing some respect for his feat of killing 100,000 demonic beasts, a flash of viciousness even flashed in the depth of their eyes.

Surprised, Qingfeng Li wondered why they didn't show him some respect for helping Emerald Lake City kill those demonic beasts.

When they entered the mansion, Qingfeng Li and others were stunned at the extravagances inside. It was a huge garden with countless spirit herbs of every kind which emitted intense herbal fragrance.

Although most of them were supreme spirit herbs, in the depth of them Qingfeng Li was surprised to spot quite a few spirit monarch realm spirit herbs.

He could see that the spirit monarch realm spirit herbs were at least 1,000 years old. But they had been in the Sun Mystic Realm for only a few days.

It meant that these spirit herbs had not been planted by the City Lord; they had been here long before the City Lord came.

Qingfeng Li turned to Ya Yun and asked, "As the junior madam of the largest business alliance of the Crimson Fire Continent, you must know something about the Sun Mystic Realm and the cities in it. Please share some of it with me."

Nodding, Ya Yun explained, "There are many cities in the Sun Mystic Realm and many mansions in each city. They were all built by the subordinates of Sun Emperor thousands of years ago. The spirit herbs they planted have become spirit monarch realm spirit herbs after thousands of years of growth."

Qingfeng Li nodded with understanding. Emerald Lake City must have been without a lord when the current City Lord and his subordinates occupied it by force. The mansion and the spirit herbs and treasures inside all went to him.

Qingfeng Li had a deeper understanding of the great power of the City Lord since he alone couldn't have accomplished all these.

He had a feeling that he had encountered a major force which had some hidden agenda under the disguise of a celebration banquet.

While he walked through the City Lord's mansion, Qingfeng Li saw all kinds of spirit herbs and spiritual treasures, most of which were damaged and discarded casually in the deserted corners.

In one glance, Qingfeng Li had seen that they were all spirit monarch dharma treasures which had unfortunately become useless after thousands of years of erosion.
