He trotted over to Ling Feng, snapped a salute, and stood at attention, saying loudly, "Sun Zhange, Governor of Jiangbei, greets Mr. Ling!"
"Hiss!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present collectively gasped.
The dignified Governor of Jiangbei, the Seven-Star General Sun Zhange, was so respectful towards Ling Feng. Just what was his identity?
"Damn it, how could this happen? Why did even Sun Zhange show up?" Cheng Jinhua's forehead was beaded with cold sweat, and his legs were trembling.
Lei Zhengtang's chest heaved continuously, his eyes bloodshot and red, staring fixedly at Ling Feng as if trying to see through him.
But the more he looked, the more unfathomable Ling Feng seemed!
The more he looked, the more his heart filled with dread!
The others stood as if petrified, frozen on the spot.
What surprised everyone even more was that in the face of Sun Zhange's salute, Ling Feng did not dodge or evade, but accepted it as a matter of course.
"Mmm, you can step aside for now."
Ling Feng waved his hand, not even returning the salute.
Sun Zhange not only showed no anger but even respectfully retreated to the side with a pleased expression.
Such an action directly sent the crowd into a frenzy.
"My God, is this still the Governor of Jiangbei? He's actually so respectful to that surnamed Ling?"
"Could… could he be an imposter? This is too unbelievable!"
"Heh, imposter? Who would dare impersonate a dignified governor? Are they tired of living!"
"But this lacks the presence a governor should have!"
"You know nothing. This only shows that Ling Feng himself, or the power behind him, is someone even the Governor has to treat with respect!"
...
As the onlookers chattered, cold sweat streamed down Sun Zhange's forehead. Standing beside Yang Fei, his heart pounded like a drum!
Standing over there was the King of Zhenbei, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Da Hua!
A man who, with his own might, kept the thirteen northern kingdoms in awe!
To be able to stand with him was an honor for a lifetime!
But he had come uninvited, and was already worried that the King of Zhenbei would be angry. Upon arriving at the scene, Ling Feng's attitude was neither warm nor cold, which made Sun Zhange extremely anxious!
He didn't even get a chance to kowtow and offer incense to Ling Feng!
This made Sun Zhange's Adam's apple bob, swallowing his saliva one mouthful after another.
As Sun Zhange's anxiety grew, Yang Fei said softly, "Stay calm, you've done well."
Sun Zhange instinctively turned, facing Yang Fei, and almost blurted out, "Thank you, General, for your praise!" But he managed to hold back, forcing a smile and replying in a low voice, "Yes!"
Yang Fei understood Sun Zhange's feelings. Let alone a mere governor like him, even some Nine-Star Generals would feel uneasy upon seeing the King of Zhenbei.
However, in Yang Fei's opinion, Sun Zhange's uninvited presence was indeed quite good.
A funeral, after all, should be conducted with dignity!
"Await orders!"
Yang Fei reminded him again and said no more.
Sun Zhange stood ramrod straight, his entire being like a drawn bow, ready to spring!
As soon as Ling Feng gave the order, he would blast the group opposite into nothingness!
With killing intent in his heart, Sun Zhange's gaze towards the opposite side became stern.
This made Lei Zhengtang involuntarily shrink his neck!
Cheng Jinhua even took a step back, swallowing hard. The helicopter being shot down was a minor loss for Cheng Jinhua; he was afraid of what was to come.
A Seven-Star General leading three thousand elite soldiers, standing ready behind Ling Feng.
What an imposing presence!
Then, looking at the hundreds of martial arts experts behind him, their faces growing paler by the moment, Cheng Jinhua felt a deep sense of unease!
They were not enough, these people were truly not enough!
It was only now that he truly understood the meaning of Ling Feng's earlier words, "Still not enough!"
"Lei, Patriarch Lei, what… what should we do now?"
Finally, some people behind could not hold back, and they approached Lei Zhengtang, whispering their questions.
Upon hearing this, Lei Zhengtang wanted to turn around and slap the person.
He wanted to tell them that he had no idea what to do either!
But seeing all eyes on him from behind, Lei Zhengtang felt immense pressure.
Turning to look at Lei Haixuan, he saw him filled with fear, begging him with tears streaming down his face.
Lei Zhengtang knew he could not retreat!
Lei Zhengtang took a deep breath, stepped forward under immense pressure, and forced a smile, "Heh heh, Mr. Ling, you've certainly made quite a show, but do you think this can scare me?"
"Wipe that smile off your face, or I'll make you cry!" Ling Feng said indifferently.
Lei Zhengtang's lips twitched, and the smile on his face finally disappeared.
Lei Zhengtang knew very well that he had already lost, both in terms of presence and psychologically!
However, he could not give up. He was still the sky of Hanjiang, and today he still had to let people know that his Wuhu Group was the overlord here!
Lei Zhengtang glared at Ling Feng venomously and said word by word, "Do you see clearly? You are now an enemy to all the prominent families in Hanjiang!"
"If you move against us, you move against the very foundation of Hanjiang, causing the Hanjiang economy to collapse, affecting the jobs and lives of hundreds of thousands, pushing Hanjiang back fifty years. You will be the eternal sinner of Hanjiang!"
The more Lei Zhengtang spoke, the more excited he became, his voice growing more impassioned, and his steps advancing one by one.
He wanted to force out his own aura, thereby igniting the aura of the hundreds behind him!
He wanted to tell Ling Feng that this was Hanjiang, and everything here was built by them.
And by doing so, he hoped to make Sun Zhange hesitate to act!
As Lei Zhengtang's voice resounded throughout the venue, the people behind him indeed mustered some spirit and advanced with his steps.
Crack!
Another muffled thunderclap echoed from the sky.
It was deafening and terrifying, yet not a drop of rain fell!
The morale of those kneeling on the ground completely collapsed!
The economic foundation of the entire Hanjiang was indeed built by the Wuhu Group and the influential figures behind it. Perhaps Ling Feng really couldn't touch them.
However, for Ling Feng, these kneeling people were just pawns!
No matter what, they were destined to be cannon fodder.
Yang Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Lei Zhengtang opposite him, and let out a cold sneer of disdain, "Hmph, you cunning villain!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhange wished he could open fire directly on Lei Zhengtang!
What nonsense about the various powers of Hanjiang!
Sun Zhange didn't care about any of that. He only obeyed the orders of the King of Zhenbei, Ling Feng, and would not tolerate these scoundrels showing any disrespect to the King of Zhenbei.
Seeing that Ling Feng remained silent, Lei Zhengtang's lips curved into a triumphant cold smile, as if he saw victory in this battle and could retreat unscathed.
Ling Feng slightly raised his eyelids, glanced at everyone around Lei Zhengtang, and said faintly, "There are plenty of people who want to replace you!"
