Tiger Roars in China

Not far from the open space, a large group of people had already gathered, waiting to receive Li Meng and others.

They were afraid of alarming the griffin, so those people just stood there pointing and talking from a distance and did not get close to the griffin.

Linghu Jinglei just looked up, then patted Fan Tong on the shoulder and laughed, "You idiot, your prisoner has been released too."

Fan Tong glared at Linghu Jinglei fiercely and said angrily, "Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about? You know my second brother's temper. If you piss him off, neither of you will be in trouble."

Linghu Jinglei pushed Fan Tong and said, "Fan Laosan, it was just a joke, did you take it seriously?"

At this time, a tall old man wearing a helmet and armor, accompanied by a group of swordsmen, came towards Li Meng and others.

When he got closer, Li Meng could see clearly that the tall old man had white hair and beard, big eyes and a big mouth. He looked like a generous man.

"I am Fan Yin, the deputy city lord of Zhenhai City. I am here to meet the young master!"

The old man had a loud voice and was full of energy.

Following Fan Yin's words, the sword masters behind him also saluted Li Meng.

Li Meng did not return the greeting to them. He stood there coldly, looking at everyone, and just nodded to Fan Yin.

Linghu Jinglei rushed forward, smiled and greeted Fan Yin, "Second Brother Fan, the young master is seriously injured and has not recovered yet, so he cannot return the greeting. I hope you can forgive me."

Fan Yin said in a clear voice, "We have prepared a sedan chair for the young master, please get on it."

There was already some malicious intent in his tone.

Li Meng just nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Just stop talking.

Linghu Jinglei quickly gave Fan Tong a look, stepped forward and held Fan Yin's hand, saying with a smile, "Second Brother Fan, it's been a long time since we last met. Tonight, we brothers must have a good drink!"

Fan Yin laughed heartily and said, "Linghu Lao San, when it comes to drinking, I'm really not afraid of you. But, that person..."

Fan Yin glanced at Li Meng who was getting into the sedan chair, and seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Linghu Jinglei patted Fan Yin on the back and said with a smile, "Young Sect Master needs to recover from his injuries, so how can he drink with old men like us? Second Brother Fan, when did you become so fussy when talking?"

Fan Yin glared at Fan Tong who was following behind Linghu Jinglei and said angrily, "We are both the third brother, but you...you are such a good-for-nothing!"

Obviously, Fan Tong's embarrassing performance of crying for help in Huwei Fortress had reached Fan Yin's ears.

In front of so many people, Linghu Jinglei was afraid that Fan Tong would lose face, so he quickly pulled the two of them and said, "Don't say anything, drink! Drink!"

Li Meng sat in the sedan chair and lifted the curtain to look out. In the twilight, the body of the griffin looked particularly huge, like a small mountain.

Hundreds of people surrounded the griffin, busying themselves serving it.

The small wooden house tied to it had been untied and moved to the ground next to it.

Many people were holding brushes and buckets, washing its body.

In front of the griffin's terrifying head, there was an enormous wooden basin. Carts of grain were being pushed over and poured into the basin. The grain in the basin was already piled up to the brim.

It seems that the griffin has been pacified by the beastmaster and Han Yu, and is very calm.

At this time, the sedan chair had been lifted up and was slowly moving towards the direction of Zhenhai City. Li Meng stopped watching and let down the curtain. He sat alone in the sedan chair with his eyes closed to rest.

Although the sedan was not big, it was very comfortable. Only Li Meng was in it. Ling Hua, Shui Yue, Bai Mei, Bai Jie and others did not get in.

Fan Yin also prepared a carriage for them. The carriage was very spacious, and there were also some noble ladies and maids who accompanied them in the carriage so that they would not be lonely.

For them as servants, this treatment was already very high.

As for Linghu Jinglei, Fan Yin, Fan Tong and others, of course they all rode horses.

Zhenhai City is large and prosperous. As soon as Li Meng entered the city gate, he could hear the bustling noise.

He lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see the streets on both sides were brightly lit, peddlers, hawkers, small vendors, people were rubbing shoulders with each other, people were coming and going, very lively. The cries of hawkers and shouts were heard one after another, just like a busy market.

The street is very wide and paved with bluestone slabs, so ten horses can run side by side without any problem.

On both sides of the street, there are two- or three-story buildings, shops, hotels... one next to the other, very prosperous.

It formed a sharp contrast with the desolation of Huyue City.

This Zhenhai City is already so prosperous, what will the main city of Haotian City, where Haotian Gate is located, look like? Li Meng actually felt excited.

Li Meng now seems like a different person. He gives people the impression that he is very cold, cruel, arrogant and unkind.

Everyone thought that Li Meng was seriously injured and his temperament changed drastically due to the pain.

Bai Mei and Bai Jie were secretly delighted because Li Meng's personality was becoming more and more like the young master he used to be.

Only Li Meng himself knew that after suffering a blow in his relationship, he figured out a truth, which was to make himself stronger as soon as possible.

The doubts I have suffered, the contempt I have suffered, the way I have been treated as a pawn and manipulated here and there, is all because I am too weak and have no say.

Some things cannot be obtained by begging in a humble manner. Isn't it true that the strong are respected in this Shenzhou continent? As long as I am stronger than you, I can get whatever I want easily, right?

Only when he becomes truly strong can Li Meng have the right to speak and truly gain a foothold in Haotian Sect and on the Shenzhou continent.

Think about Wan Li Peng, who was just an intermediate great swordsman. Facing the aggressive army of 100,000 demons, as well as the Black Dragon, Black Tiger and other demon generals who were more powerful than him, he was fearless and maneuvered freely, planned and strategized, and with a wave of his hand, the 100,000 demon army was reduced to ashes.

No wonder Fairy Baiyu chose Wanli Peng instead of Li Meng.

Li Meng recalled a saying from later generations: men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men.

This also makes sense on the Chinese mainland.

Obviously, Fairy Baiyu is the ambitious woman.

She used herself to impersonate the young master of Haotian Sect and infiltrate Haotian Sect. She must have had some ulterior motives, which were not as noble as she said.

I am just a chess piece in her hand, and may not be as useful as Wanlipeng. How can I compete with Wanlipeng?

So Li Meng's mentality changed. He worked hard to become stronger and put all his energy into cultivation.

In the past, no matter how hard he tried, his gains were minimal and he could only rank among the low-level martial artists.

But since he had the Tiger King Armor, things were completely different. The Tiger King Armor stored a large amount of true energy, which allowed Li Meng to get whatever he wanted.

True Qi and internal strength are completely different levels of energies.

A trace of true qi is enough to match the total internal strength that Li Meng has cultivated for several months, and it is also more refined and condensed, and more powerful.

Therefore, Li Meng does not need to practice by himself at all. He only needs to absorb the true energy in the Tiger King Armor to quickly replenish his internal strength. After breaking through the realm, he can then impact the next level.
