Again with the formation, it seems that kid is a powerful Array Dao Master. In this case, we might need to change our strategy.

She took out a scroll, then unlocked the seal and threw it out.

She was very confident; this was a Break Array Scroll given to her by the Senior Sister.

However, she quickly turned from smiling to being astonished as she saw the scroll she threw wrapped in a ball of Sword Qi, and before long, it turned into a pile of fragments.

This is impossible!

Could it be a formation surpassing Level 15?

This is serious.

"Girls, it seems we've underestimated that guy. No wonder Yao Yue fell, if this formation is his doing, then the person is truly worth investing in."

"Third Elder, what should we do? We absolutely can't bow down to him. If we give him face, who knows he might take advantage, you must not compromise."

"No problem, if he is not content, he's not far from death."

"Yes, Third Elder."

Then the group returned to the city, but did not go to the City Lord Mansion. As an elder, she must plan well for Yaochi Palace, as this kid is not one to be easily dealt with.

To better understand Tang Feng's situation, she personally strolled around the city.

Seeing the current prosperity of the Border City made her a bit envious.

The city belonging to Yaochi Palace seems to lack such vitality. Given time, this city would definitely become a major taxpayer. Seeing such a scene, her desire to bring the Border City under Yaochi Palace's dominion grew even stronger.

So she asked some cultivators, and after learning about their evaluations of Tang Feng, she was inwardly shocked. Does that kid really have such strong cohesion?

In the following two days, she sent ten core disciples to each of the other three cities to assess the situation there.

She was aware that Tang Feng had likely sent people to monitor them, but she didn't mind much since they were still far off.

She was not being overly aggressive, just waiting further.

Two days later, the girls returned one after another, and upon learning the results, they all remained silent.

Even the people in Yaochi Palace seemed more solemn.

It seemed they would return empty-handed this time, surprisingly, she felt no discomfort about it, and she inwardly admired Tang Feng's capabilities.

If he is not mediocre, then they might as well bind together. At worst, hand Yao Yue over to him, though this was a worst-case scenario and clearly against her initial intention.

"Master, it's time to rest."

The Third Elder nodded, looking at the bustling night market, wondering how she could sleep with so much unspoken.

The next morning, they heard the shouts early.

It was loud and clear.

Seeing such scenes once more, they marveled. The Border City had indeed become completely different from before; both the people and matters were different here.

Everyone's faces bore an upward and joyful demeanor.

Each person was filled with longing for tomorrow.

Amazing, this young man is truly remarkable, it seems coercion won't work, they need to use a different conciliatory approach.

So they came to the City Lord Mansion again, this time her attitude was different, because the aura of the Array Path was even stronger than yesterday.

"Tang Feng, have you thought about the previous matters?" she still wanted to see his attitude.

"Third Elder, you know that's impossible. Let's discuss other conditions instead; if acceptable, I'll agree, if not, there's nothing more I can do." Tang Feng had long grasped her every move.

He found it amusing inwardly, but didn't show it.

As for those ten core disciples, they were purely for show.

"Then what do you suggest? The mining area used to belong to our Yaochi Palace, claiming it is dangerous, we can completely declare war against you," said the Third Elder.

"To be honest, although I am weak, I am not afraid of war. My Postnatal future is constantly in combat, and they take pride in it, willing to defend their future at any cost, understand this please, Elder." Tang Feng confronted firmly, leaving the Third Elder with no good solution.

Silence fell momentarily.

"Tang Feng, if you care about Senior Uncle Yao Yue, then hand over the mining area, otherwise you'll harm her," one core disciple said.

"She is your Senior Uncle, I believe your Palace Master will not act recklessly, she is not guilty of death. Nonetheless, if she truly meets misfortune, I would rather give up everything including my life," he vowed.

"What, are you threatening us?"

"If you think so, then yes."

"How bold, don't think that mastering some Array Path gives you free reign, Tang Feng, we should discuss seriously. Cooperation benefits both, conflict harms both, you can't deny this."

"I don't deny it."

"Great, about the mining area, you must provide an explanation, it's an intermediate area we discovered, taking it away without sharing seems unfair, if things escalate, it won't be here at the table but elsewhere," replied the Third Elder.

"I understand what you meant. Initially, you seized it from the Star Sect, and I took it from you, note, not seized but handed through, more precisely it was foresworn by you," replied Tang Feng.

"Pooh, as if we'd forsake it."

"Okay, since you wanted it why leave just a few people, clearly you hadn't prioritized it. Oh, now I've developed it, and you've come picking fruits, is this fair? Moreover, Yaochi Palace is renowned as a great sect, bullying someone like me with nothing as a City Lord isn't amusing, right?" Tang's rhetoric left them speechless.

The ten core female disciples were dumbfounded.

How could this kid talk such a way, he's sky-high.

They were left speechless but truly impressed, he was the first to leave the Third Elder speechless.

Indeed highly skillful, they conceded this man was strong.

Previously, when they accompanied the Third Elder to other regions, others appeased with utmost courtesy like slaves, lowering themselves, reinforcing Yaochi Palace's formidable impression.

Yet today, that's shattered.

This kid's cultivation might not be high, but it left the Third Elder hesitant to strike, unable to surpass his words, and beating him difficult, describing the frustration well.

"Anyway, this must be resolved."

"Two-tenths tax, that's the maximum."

"Are you shooing off beggars?"

"Third Elder, that's already substantial, nothing more." Tang Feng replied directly.

"Need I say more clearly?" the Third Elder slammed the table and stood up, ready to act.

A potent Array Dao force pressed down, leaving her to sit back powerlessly.

This force made her apprehensive.

"Alright, how you manage it will be as you decide."

"Fine, that's settled. When are you returning? I'll go to Yaochi Palace with you as well."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course."

"Depart three days later, prepare yourself." The Third Elder smiled.

Once at Yaochi Palace, can this kid still remain arrogant?

Still too youthful.
