However, Qin Wufa, Liu Ruyun, Ouyang Jie, and others all wore worried expressions.
Lord Governor has come in person; Ling Chen might be in danger.
Shen Xing’s figure shifted, moving immediately towards Ling Chen.
He’s from the Central Region, even though he sneaked out.
But he has some tricks up his sleeve, enough to threaten a nine-star emperor!
A mere eight-star emperor, if he dares to lay a hand on Ling Chen, then he doesn’t mind killing this person.
It’s just a small Commander from Qing Province, if killed, then killed.
He doesn’t believe that Mu Qing would dare to trouble him!
If worst comes to worst, just have the sect’s experts take action and annihilate the State Governor Mansion.
"Are you the Netherworld Capital Commander?"
Ling Chen looked at Fu Gu calmly.
Fu Gu nodded haughtily.
Ling Chen nodded and said indifferently, "I am a talent participating in the Qing Province Genius Rankings, the foremost under the geniuses, a being who will surely ascend the Genius Rankings in the future. What do you think I am? I haven’t even asked what you count for yet?"
With this statement, everyone was petrified.
Ling Chen actually dared to talk back to the Lord Governor, even calling the Lord Governor what?
Ling Chen must have lost his mind!
Fu Yuntian and the other three were also stunned.
His father came in person and was actually being scolded by Ling Chen ?
"Brat, you’re courting death!"
His body quivered slightly with anger.
Spiritual Power surged wildly around him.
"You dare to take action?"
Ling Chen suddenly bellowed, like a clap of thunder.
"Remember your status, just a mere city’s Governor, to put it plainly, you’re just a steward of a city. And I, in the future, will compete with the heroes of the world in the Central Region!"
"To put it even more plainly, you’re just the dog of the State Governor Mansion, while we are the masters of the State Governor Mansion!"
"You’re getting on in years and only an eight-star emperor; you might not even step into the rank of nine-star emperor in your lifetime! With your little ability, what right do you have to shout in front of me?"
With every word Ling Chen spoke, Fu Gu’s face turned a shade darker.
After three sentences, Fu Gu’s face was green with a hint of black.
Even Shen Xing couldn’t believe his eyes, Ling Chen actually dared to publicly humiliate a Governor.
As for Murong Yuehua, Liu Ruyun, and others, their minds were in turmoil, completely dumbfounded.
"Brat, you dare insult me, today I must discipline you!"
Fu Gu gritted his teeth. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novęlfire.net
He was so angry he could spit blood.
If he doesn’t regain some face today, where would the Governor’s dignity be left?
"Hold on! You dare to take action against me? Do you not want your Governor position anymore?"
Ling Chen shouted, "Any talent who participates in the Qing Province Genius Rankings cannot be attacked by others, except for their peers! What’s this, a grand Governor actually wants to defy the orders of the Lord Governor?"
To protect the talents, the Lord Governor personally issued this order.
Fu Gu snorted coldly and said, "That’s a good command, but the premise is that there is no grudge between us. However, you insulted and cursed me today, I must discipline you! I won’t dare to kill you, but I can still make you suffer!"
"That can’t be said."
Ling Chen shook his head and said, "I cursed you because you cursed me first. I really don’t understand, I kindly spared your son Fu Yuntian’s life, didn’t kill him, and you as his father, why aren’t you grateful? What? Would you be happy only if I killed your son? Do you and your son have such a great hatred? Could it be that Fu Yuntian isn’t really born of you?"
Ling Chen’s gaze traveled back and forth between the faces of Fu Yuntian and Fu Gu.
"Shut your stinking mouth! Yuntian is of course my own son!"
"Since he’s your own son, then I’m puzzled. I spared your son, and it’s fine if you’re not grateful, but to attack me, that’s how you treat your benefactor? What, does your Fu family consist entirely of ingrates?"
"Stop giving me this nonsensical talk, you called me a dog, just for that, I must discipline you!"
He knew that if the argument continued, Ling Chen might just drag him down to his level again.
At this moment, Shen Xing spoke up: "Lord Governor, you cannot strike at him. You should know that this world is vast, and your Qing Province is hardly anything to speak of."
Hearing this, Fu Gu was taken aback and looked towards Shen Xing: "Who are you?"
Ling Chen’s radiance was too brilliant, overshadowing Shen Xing.
Thus, everybody knew how formidable Ling Chen was, but they were unaware of Shen Xing’s prowess.
"I am someone whose identity you are not qualified to know. All you need to understand is that I come from Central State!"
Shen Xing said indifferently.
Central State is the most powerful of the nine provinces of the continent.
It is also the center of the continent.
The ’Central’ in Central State comes from its meaning as the heart.
Murong Yuehua, Liu Ruyun, and others were also shocked.
The more significant reason they participated in the Qing Province’s list of outstanding young heroes was the hope to enter Central State.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t even have the qualifications to enter Central State.
Unexpectedly, this fellow Shen Xing actually came from Central State.
Fu Gu snorted coldly: "You claim you’re from Central State, but are you really? Do you have any proof?"
Shen Xing smiled faintly and said, "You are very welcome to strike at Ling Chen; let’s see if I can kill you then!"
As these words were uttered, the air seemed to freeze.
"Fu Dutong, the matters of the younger generation should be left to them to resolve. If you do take action, I too will utilize the power behind me. I’d like to see what Mu Qing can do to me after I kill you!"
Shen Xing spoke again.
The Green Emperor, Mu Qing.
The State Governor of Qing Province!
Hearing Shen Xing directly addressing the State Governor by name, Fu Gu’s expression changed.
Could this young man really come from Central State?
Ling Chen glanced at Shen Xing; even he did not expect Shen Xing to be so domineering, holding the trump card that could slay an eight-star emperor.
Perhaps others wouldn’t believe it, but Ling Chen wholly believed.
For the possessor of the Star Divine Body, having such a trump card was entirely normal.
Watching Shen Xing’s calm demeanor, Fu Gu felt troubled.
If this young man indeed had such a backing, then he truly didn’t dare to take the risk.
But he couldn’t just let a youngster hurl insults, could he?
Where would that leave his dignity as a Commander?
Just at that moment, a voice came from afar.
"Uncle Fu, why bother intervening in the affairs of the juniors? I’ll personally take it upon myself to discipline this person for you."
As the voice faded, a streak of purple light shot over.
Soon, a handsome young man in a purple robe appeared.
Murong Yuehua exclaimed with joy.
"Young Master Murong!"
Gu Wendao and the other two promptly paid their respects.
The person who arrived was the young hero of Netherworld, Murong Ziyi.
With Murong Ziyi intervening, it perfectly resolved his embarrassment.
"Uncle Fu, my father has asked me to convey his regards!"
Murong Ziyi was the epitome of grace and charm.
"Brother Murong, truly thoughtful of you."
Fu Gu smiled, "I am fine, and how is he?"
"Thank you for your thoughts, Uncle Fu, my father is well."
Then, Murong Ziyi turned towards Ling Chen, his gaze filled with sharpness: "Are you Ling Chen?"
Murong Yuehua had secretly informed him of Ling Chen’s exploits in swiftly defeating the proud sons of the four territories of the Northern Domain, which is why he arrived so promptly.
