Chapter 1873 - 1870: Seizing the Token

Chapter 1873: Chapter 1870: Seizing the Token

"President Dao Chengzi, shouldn’t you apologize to me?" Ling Feng said calmly.

Dao Chengzi’s expression was ugly, looking at Ling Feng’s smug expression, he wished he could slap this guy to death.

But he knew he had to restrain himself, because in front of Ling Feng and himself, there was also a powerful Elder of the Cheng family!

"I’m sorry, Head of Cheng Family, I was a bit agitated just now!" Dao Chengzi said through gritted teeth, feeling as if his dignity was being trampled on by Ling Feng.

Ling Feng chuckled lightly, walked over, and sat on the main seat: "I heard that President Dao Chengzi came for Uncle Cheng, so I’ve specially come out to hear what brilliant strategies President Dao Chengzi has."

Dao Chengzi took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said calmly: "After a concentrated discussion, our Canglan Commerce has decided that we hope the Cheng family will hand over the Wordless Heavenly Scripture as soon as possible, for the sake of the Cheng family and the entire commerce, to quell the Thunderous Wrath of Heaven’s Gate!"

Ling Feng shook his head and said: "President Dao Chengzi, can you guarantee that if we hand over the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, Heaven’s Gate will really release Uncle Cheng? Can you really assure us that if we hand over the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, our Cheng family will be safe and sound?"

Dao Chengzi said in a deep voice: "Of course, if Heaven’s Gate still refuses to let it go, our commerce will definitely seek justice for the Cheng family!"

"Well said!" Ling Feng clapped his hands and said: "If someone who didn’t know heard this, they might think President Dao Chengzi is a man of great righteousness, but I’m sorry, I don’t believe it!"

"I don’t believe the commerce can decisively oppose Heaven’s Gate, nor do I believe your nonsense, Dao Chengzi, and I certainly don’t believe Heaven’s Gate will really spare the Cheng family!" Ling Feng sneered: "Dao Chengzi, do you really think your ridiculous remarks will make me believe you?"

"You..." Dao Chengzi felt insulted and shouted angrily: "Ling Feng, you’re too impudent! Do you know how much disaster angering Heaven’s Gate could bring to the entire commerce and what kind of catastrophe it would bring to the Cheng family? You’re pushing the Cheng family to a dead end!"

"Whether it’s pushing to a dead end is not something you, Dao Chengzi, can decide, nor is it something you can foresee!" Ling Feng said calmly: "With your perspective, you cannot see which direction this world will go, so why should I believe you?"

Dao Chengzi froze, then said angrily: "Ling Feng, don’t think I don’t know your mind. You’re just worried that the old family head’s return will affect your position. What’s more ridiculous is that the grand Cheng family actually has an outsider as the family head and is even unwilling to rescue its old family head, which is just contemptible..."

"You court death!" Dao Chengzi’s words thoroughly enraged the Great Elder, who waved his hand, and a giant palm appeared in the air, aiming straight at Dao Chengzi.

Dao Chengzi’s eyes narrowed. Even though he was also an expert at the later stage of the Firmament Realm, the Great Elder’s grab with such mastery left him feeling as if there was no escape!

"Damn, is the Great Elder’s realm really that much higher than mine?" Dao Chengzi thought with some horror.

In battles between later-stage experts of the Firmament Realm, sometimes they could fight for years, but sometimes the outcome was decided in an instant! The former when realms are similar, the latter when there is a significant gap!

And this grab from the Great Elder posed a huge threat to Dao Chengzi!

"Great Elder!" Just as Dao Chengzi was about to counterattack, Ling Feng’s voice came: "Why should we get worked up over someone insignificant? If this gets out, some might say our Cheng family is bullying others with our power!"

A gust of wind swept through, and the Great Elder withdrew his giant claw, looking coldly at Dao Chengzi: "Dao Chengzi, if it weren’t for the family head, I would’ve made you stay in our Cheng family today. Don’t think that just because the old family head isn’t here, you can mold our Cheng family at will. I’m telling you, you’re not worthy!"

Dao Chengzi’s face was grim, while Ling Feng stared directly at him: "Dao Chengzi, you can leave now. We will naturally rescue Uncle Cheng, so there’s no need for you to worry! How we save him is our family’s matter and doesn’t require your intervention, understood?"

"Fine, fine! I’ll see what abilities your Cheng family has!" Dao Chengzi took a deep breath, sneered, and said: "You’re underestimating Heaven’s Gate too much!"

Ling Feng shook his head and said: "I never underestimate any enemy! Oh, by the way, there’s something of yours I’d like to borrow!"

"What?"

"The token from the auction!" Ling Feng said deeply.

"Wishful thinking!" Dao Chengzi’s face changed: "You want to use the token to get that mysterious force to help you rescue the head of the Cheng family? It’s simply ridiculous that you’re targeting me. I won’t give it to you!"

Ling Feng spread his hands and said: "I said borrow it. Of course, if you don’t want to lend it, I won’t force you! However... Great Elder, Dao Chengzi has insulted our Cheng family, insulted the new family head. As the new family head, can I request the commerce to expel Dao Chengzi?"

"Insulting the Cheng family means death!" The Great Elder said coldly: "Dao Chengzi, don’t be shameless. If it weren’t for the family head, you would already be a corpse. What, are you really thinking of challenging the entire Cheng family for one token?"

Dao Chengzi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said: "Alright, so your goal was always my token, right? If I don’t hand over the token, I won’t be able to leave the Cheng family today?"

"What do you think?" Ling Feng asked with a smile.

Dao Chengzi’s face was grim. He flipped his hand, and a token appeared in his grasp.

He tossed it towards Ling Feng: "Here’s the token, now can I leave?"

"Please do!" Ling Feng caught the token and said with a smile.

Dao Chengzi took a deep breath, turned around, and walked out. When he reached the door, he turned back: "Ling Feng, I will repay today’s humiliation one day! Just you wait, I always keep my word!"

Ling Feng was indifferent, nodding with a smile: "Just bring more good stuff next time you come!"

Dao Chengzi almost spat blood. After he left, the Great Elder put away his anger and smiled: "Family head, do you really plan to use this token to exchange for the chance to save the old family head?"

Ling Feng shook his head and casually tossed the token to the Great Elder: "Do you really think such a small token can get that mysterious force to rescue Uncle Cheng? I’m not that naive!"
