"Amethyst Order Badge? Thats actually an Amethyst Order Badge! How did this old man Lin get his hands on something like that?"
Everyones face changed color, because the significance of this purple gold token was extraordinary, more intimidating than the Qinglong flag brought back by Chufeng.
In the end, even if Qinglong Sect is powerful, its just a sect. It can intimidate various forces, but it cannot command them.
But this Zi Jin City is different, although it may not be as powerful as the Qing Long Sect in terms of foundation and strength, it is the overlord of this region. As the saying goes, "a strong dragon cant suppress a snake in its own territory", thats what it means.
And among the cities, there is a chain relationship. The Purple Gold City is considered a second-rate city pool. He dominates his own land, but above him, there is a first-rate city pool that is not inferior to the Qinglong Sect in terms of strength.
And above the first-class city, there is a royal palace, and the power of the royal palace is extremely strong, not even slightly weaker than the number one sect in Qingzhou, Lingyun Sect.
However, whats most important is that behind the Wang Fu, there is a massive entity, which is the Jiang Shi Imperial City, the overlord of the entire Jiu Zhou continent.
In other words, although the Jiang clan imperial court did not restrict the development of various forces and did not directly manage the Jiu Zhou region, it had actually established a complete management system on the Jiu Zhou continent. Everything in the Jiu Zhou continent was under the control of the Jiang clan imperial court.
This has created a situation where the sect is strong, but it is always one of the forces, and the cities of various parties are weak, but they have the imperial court as their backing.
A sect can take action against another sect, but there are few sects that dare to provoke a city, because they cannot afford to.
So, for the many aristocratic families within the jurisdiction of Zijin City, the name of Zijin City is more intimidating than Qinglong Sect, and the deterrent power of the Zijin token far exceeds that of the Qinglong flag.
"Seeing the purple gold token, why dont you quickly kneel down." Seeing people showing fearful expressions, Lin Zhuangui became even more arrogant and actually pointed at the crowd, shouting loudly.
As soon as he spoke, indeed many people were shocked and actually knelt down with a thud, especially the Zhao and Li families, who were like seeing a lifesaving straw, and they even kowtowed to Lin Zhanggui.
At this scene, Chu Fengs eyebrows slightly furrowed, taking everything in sight. He suddenly understood a phrase and knew what it meant to be "a wallhead grass that falls with the wind", because at this moment, there was such a group of people right in front of him.
"How can you still not kneel down? Are you daring not to put the Purple Gold Token in your eyes, and are you daring not to put Lord City Master in your eyes?" Seeing that many people had not knelt down yet, Lin Zhangguan shouted loudly.
"Ill see who dares to kneel down for him." Seeing this, Chu Feng also let out a loud roar.
After hearing Chu Fengs words, those who had originally intended to kneel down also became entangled and fell into a dilemma. Although the Purple Gold City was very powerful, after all, it was just a matter of imperial power, and relying solely on a token could only have an intimidating effect.
At present, Chu Feng is the most formidable person here. If they were to provoke him, given his temperament, he might just kill them all off.
"Chu Feng, you little scoundrel, how dare you defy the rules of Zi Jin City? Not only did you not kneel when you saw the Zi Jin token, but you even dared to threaten others. Are you trying to go against Zi Jin City and the Jiang imperial dynasty?" Lin Zhangguan pointed at Chu Feng and shouted loudly.
"What if Im wrong? Do you believe I can kill you right now?" Chu Feng said coldly.
"Maple, whatever you do, dont mess with him. His purple gold token is real, and you absolutely cant lay a hand on him, or Purple Gold City wont let you off."
Jian Chu saw that Chu Feng really had murderous intentions, and was so frightened that he hastily grabbed onto Chu Fengs sleeve tightly, deeply afraid that Chu Feng would make a move against Lin Zhanggui.
"Haha, Chu Yuan, youre quite sensible." Looking at Chu Yuans timid appearance, Lin Zhangguan burst out laughing loudly twice, then said in a loud voice:
"I wont hide it from you, but the lord of the Purple Gold City has already learned about the discovery of the Xuan Tie mine within the Kai Shan border. At present, the lord is leading a large team to rush here, and I believe they will arrive soon."
"So from now on, within this mountainous border, the Purple Gold City will be personally managed by me, and I am the city lords personally appointed administrator."
"The Chu family has made a meritorious discovery of the Xuan Tie mine. In the future, the mining of the Xuan Tie mine will still be done by you, but all the mined ore must be handed over to Zi Jin City and not embezzled. Otherwise, anyone who does so will be beheaded."
Lin Zhanggus words have already made everything clear. The great army of Zijincheng is now rushing here, which means that Chu Feng and others should not mess with him, otherwise the people of the Chu family will all be hard to escape death.
As for the purpose of Zijin Citys visit, it was for the Xuan Tie Mine. If you ask how Zijin City knew about the Xuan Tie Mine, its not hard to understand. Just take a look at the purple gold token in Lin Zhangguis hand and youll know.
It was this old man who informed the Imperial Palace, and the master of the Purple Forbidden City thought he had rendered meritorious service, so he rewarded him. The Purple Gold Token and later taking charge of the Ling Shan border were evidence of this.
"This old thing wont die."
At this moment, Chu Fengs face remained unchanged, but his fists in his sleeves were already clenched tightly. He really couldnt have imagined that there would be such a sinister old thing in the Mountain of Borrowed Beauty.
But anger aside, Chu Feng was still rational. For now, he could not afford to take action against Lin Zhang, but instead quietly waited for the arrival of the Imperial Army from Zijin City before making a decision.
But in fact, just as Lin Zhanggu said, tens of miles outside Kao Shan Town, a group of people wearing armor and holding swords were approaching in an orderly formation.
This is a large team, with over a thousand people, and their strength is not to be underestimated. The weakest are also at the fifth level of Spiritual Martial Arts, while those riding war horses are all high-ranking masters in the Yuan Wu realm. Especially the leader, whose strength is even more extraordinary.
This is a middle-aged Han man, who is not wearing armor, but wearing a loose long gown. The gown is purple, with dragon and phoenix patterns, and is also painted with gold, very luxurious.
Dont look at his simple attire, his face is also not simple, and he exudes a unique aura that the people around him dont have. Whats most important is his strength - hes actually a high-ranking master of the Ninth Rank of Martial Arts, just one step away from entering the Mystic Martial Realm. And hes none other than Chen Hui, the Lord of Purple Gold City.
Recently, the resources of Zijincheng have been in short supply. Chen Hui was worried about paying taxes to his superiors when he received intelligence that a vein of mystical iron had been discovered in the mountains. Overjoyed by this news, not only did he reward the informant with a Purple Gold Token, but he also personally led his troops to come and investigate the situation in Kao Shan Town.
At this moment, he was humming a tune while chatting with his subordinates, but suddenly he found that someone appeared in front of the road, blocking their way.
