Tian Fang felt the awkward atmosphere but he instantly smiled when he heard a response, “Thank you for your support, Enforcer Bai. It’s a rare moment for all of us to be here together. I am very happy at everyone’s arrival. Please, everyone sit down and discuss our future plans.” Tian Fang gestured to everyone to sit and talk. action

Everyone sat down on the nearest seats beside them. Before Tian Fang could open his mouth again, Ji Ming angrily spoke up, “Captain James, your men killed all of our innocent subordinates who passed by this area yesterday night. We came here today to ask you how you plan on rectifying this issue. Is the Rainbow Raiders inciting a war with the 13 Lords of the Lawless Lands?”

1Just one sentence from Ji Ming turned this entire banquet into a public hearing. It was clear that he planned on taking the newcomers down a notch, showing the Rainbow Raiders who was the boss here.

The representatives of the other lords all watched calmly after hearing those words. Some even half-smiled at Tian Fang. Even Bai Nuo, who was being kind at the beginning, only focused his attention elsewhere and pretended to not know what was happening.

The smile on Tian Fang’s face slowly vanished. He looked at Ji Ming with a sharp glare and said in an unchanging tone, “Yesterday, we cleaned up a group of no-good thieves who tried to rob us of our supplies. So they were your men?”

This insult disguised as a question made Ji Ming’s face red hot with anger. Ji Ming’s anger instantly rose even more when he saw Bai Nuo looking at him with a clear look of mockery.

Yu Shangfei, who sat beside Ji Ming, held down Ji Ming’s body that was about to jump out from his seat and smiled lightly towards Tian Fang. “We heard Luo Tianhua had taken some forbidden medicine and went rogue in the middle of the night.”

Tian Fang raised his eyebrows. “So?”

“Our men were unlucky to have encountered him when he lost control...” Yu Shangfei smiled as he looked towards Luo Lang, who was leaning on the wall behind Tian Fang. “In the Lawless Lands, dangerous individuals who cannot control themselves need to be eradicated even if he is a titled domain realm master.”

All of that Yu Shangfei had just said was fake. However, did that even matter? In the Lawless Lands, if the 13 Lords wanted to erase someone, they just needed to brand them with a crime. No one would dare object if they valued their lives.

Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei’s goal was quite clear. It was to completely erase this monstrous individual who could grow to become their strongest opponent in the future.

“Heh, how come I don’t know Luo Tianhua has this problem?” Tian Fang smiled coldly. “Do you think we’re children? Trying to fool us with those words.”

Ji Ming then said, “In the Lawless Lands, other than the 13 Lords, no one has the power to refuse anything.”

Tian Fang forcefully slapped the armrest of his chair and stood up. A gleam flashed between his eyes. “Are you showing us up?”

Ji Ming looked up and said proudly, “You can assume so.”

Tian Fang slowly leaned back onto his chair with a cold expression on his face. The entire deck’s atmosphere became oddly heavy. Everyone was just watching Ji Ming and Tian Fang’s battle of words. If the Rainbow Raiders couldn’t bring out strength that would satisfy them, these people would just lean back and watch Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei teach Tian Fang’s group a lesson in blood.

As for the Rainbow Raiders, they were indeed one of the three largest factions in the mercenary world. Their regiment commander was also one of the three kings who could rock the entire mercenary world just by stomping his feet. However, they were only part of the mercenary underworld, so no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t affect the Lawless Lands. Additionally, if the Rainbow Raiders were to come and seek justice, Lord Gen would come out and deal with it. They wouldn’t be blamed for anything, so they didn’t feel any responsibility to help them so they were just watching it unfold.

Tian Fang slammed on his armrest again, “That’s fine. Let me see just how strong the people working under the 13 Lords are. After all, we don’t want to do business with a bunch of weaklings.”

Tian Fang’s answer wasn’t anything that Ji Ming and the others hadn’t predicted. In reality, the goal of the series of words and conversations they went through was to make the opposition challenge them to the battle.

“A battle of domains is difficult to control, so everyone will be responsible for their own lives,” Ji Ming coldly stated.

A gleam in Tian Fang’s eyes turned colder. He slowly said, “Guardian Ji, I hope you won’t regret what you said.”

Ji Ming smiled coldly. “I have never regretted anything in my life. I also hope you won’t regret anything, Captain James.”

The two of them stared into each other’s eyes for a few seconds with killing intent in their eyes. Tian Fang then suddenly smiled. “Then, let us see who will be regretting their words. Go ahead. Tell me how do you want to fight?”

Ji Ming looked at Tian Fang and then snorted coldly as he continued, “Although this is the Lawless Lands, we won’t bully you with numbers. We will fight fair and square. Zuo Ming!”

“Here!” A young man in his early 20s, who came with Ji Ming earlier, walked into the spotlight.

“He will fight with your 5th Team Leader,” said Ji Ming.

Tian Fang looked at Zuo Ming curiously. He didn’t know where Zuo Ming came from. Lord Gen actually placed such a large amount of hope onto him to fight with 5th Team Leader, Major General Luo Lang, who had already shown that he was a titled domain realm master.

(Oh yes, I forgot to mention. Although Luo Lang is deemed as MIA after the battle at the Twilight Empire, the merits he earned in that battle were still not forgotten. It was also because of Luo Lang’s disappearance that made the military headquarters give him the rank of major general to comfort the Luo family, and thus the Lingtian Independent Army has another major general in its ranks.)

“Are you not going to introduce him? Our 5th Team Leader isn’t someone that is willing to fight a random nobody.” Tian Fang was very cautious so didn’t let Luo Lang fight right away. Instead, he wanted to know more about Zuo Ming.

“What’s wrong? Scared?” Ji Ming wouldn’t satisfy Tian Fang’s request. He loved seeing his opponent’s suspecting and second-guessing expressions. It made him feel like he succeeded.

Tian Fang wanted to say something else, but Luo Lang stood up straight and said coldly, “Forget it, I don’t need to know a dead man.”

Luo Lang’s words caused Zuo Ming’s eyes to burn up with anger while also freezing Ji Ming’s joyful expression in place.

Luo Lang slowly walked out. Zuo Ming looked towards Ji Ming and then walked into the middle as well.

Without being given any reminders, those who were spectating on the sides, scooched backwards with their chairs. In the blink of an eye, an empty area with a diameter of 100 meters was cleared out.

Luo Lang raised his head and looked towards his opponent. At that moment, Luo Lang’s eyes became oddly calm. His calm personality had already taken over of him.

The calm personality frowned slightly. From one look, Zuo Ming actually gave off a very faint presence. It was as though Zuo Ming was not standing before him.

Right at that moment, his opponent suddenly exploded upwards.

Many of those watching from the side instantly cheer in shock.

Luo Lang somersaulted and backed up by more than 10 meters, evading everything Zuo Ming flung towards him.

“Ah! What is that?!”
