North of Feiniao Headquarters City…

Fainiao Headquarters City had taken in most of the people to the south of Lanyang who had been forced to leave their homes. The North City was specifically assigned those refugees, and its population had already reached several million. It was now around the size of a provincial capital.

The town hall of North City was located on Blue Wings Street. It looked like a sturdy huge fortress from afar. Not only was it tall enough to look over the whole city, it could also see the shoreline beyond Twin Gate Mountain and the new harbor at Fanxue Mountain.

Fanxue Mountain was part of North City. Feiniao Headquarters City had expanded rapidly and continuously over the years. North City alone was five times larger than the old Feiniao City. However, Fanxue Mountain did not expand beyond its lands, as the government of Feiniao Headquarters City had not allowed private lands to expand any further.

Fanxue Mountain was around the size of Bo City. Its land might have been limited, but it was well-organized and full of facilities. Astute investment and management since its early days had turned Fanxue Mountain into a well-made small city close to the mountains in the west.

The city hall of North City was around four kilometers away from Fanxue Mountain. They were both located on top of a hill in the same district of North City. Zhao Jing had headed for the city hall before Mo Fan and his crew reached Fanxue Mountain.

The city hall was now militarized. Its Mages were called the North City Mages. They served under the mayor of North City, Lin Kang.

The authorities of the Feiniao Headquarters City had been dismissed and replaced, the same thing that happened to Chairman Shao Zheng after the Threat-Elimination Strategy was canceled. Lin Kang had only been appointed the mayor of North City this year. He was completely in charge of North City.

Zhao Jing entered an office occupied by a long table made of black wood. The room was decorated with antiques and some wall drawings. A man in a long-sleeved shirt was drawing something in the room.

Zhao Jing came into the room and after taking a quick look at the man’s work, announced mockingly, “That’s a terrible drawing!”

“Men, put a nail in the guy’s tongue!” the man replied without turning his head.

“Is that how petty the mayor sees me now? I should really give my uncle a little suggestion and see if he can assign you to a barren land in the west as its mayor there!” Zhao Jing went over and sat down on Lin Kang’s executive leather chair.

Lin Kang was surprised when he realized his guest was Zhao Jing. He smiled and said, “Ah, it’s Mr. Zhao. I’ve always hated it when people say my drawings are ugly, but Mr. Zhao is an exception!”

“Interesting, I just met a Mage who draws just like you, but his cultivation was weaker,” Zhao Jing mentioned.

“Oh? I should meet him if I have the chance. It’s been a while since I last drew with my magic… So, to what do I owe the pleasure? I believe I’m quite familiar with you. I don’t think you ever waste your time on things that won’t benefit you,” Lin Kang pointed out.

“Something I want has fallen into Fanxue Mountain’s hands,” Zhao Jing stated.

“You mean the Fanxue Mountain that never knows its place?” Lin Kang asked.

“They have taken an Earth Flame Pistil. I’m pretty sure you are aware of just how important an Earth Flame Pistil is in the current harsh cold season considering how knowledgeable you are, let alone a high-grade one. Its energy is more than sufficient to build another city.” Zhao Jing clenched his fist.

He had made a huge mistake by failing to claim the Earth Flame Pistil. It was priceless, regardless of the era they were in. Some countries in Europe and Africa might treat it as a national treasure!

He had to find a way to get it at all costs!

“Is it really an Earth Pistil of the Fire Element?” Lin Kang asked, a passionate look in his eyes.

The higher one’s status, the more familiar they were with an Earth Pistil’s value.

If he could get the Earth Flame Pistil and use it as a source of heat for North City, it would soon become the true capital of Feiniao Headquarters City. He might even be selected as the highest leader of Feiniao Headquarters City in the upcoming election!

“Fanxue Mountain isn’t really a threat to me, but since it’s legally part of Feiniao Headquarters City, I need an appropriate reason to lay my hands on them. Do you understand what I’m saying, my honorable mayor?” Zhao Jing asked with a vicious expression.

How dare a little Fanxue Mountain go against the renowned Zhao Clan? Perhaps the Zhao Clan had been focusing too much on making money over the years that the people had forgotten the Zhao Clan used to be equally matched with the Mu Clan in the past!

“Fanxue Mountain is trying to claim a national treasure for itself. It’s reasonable for us to take it back.” Lin Kang obviously knew about Zhao Jing’s intentions.

“Do it quick. We have to secure the Earth Flame Pistil before your superiors make their move. Once we get our hands on it, we can easily control the situation,” Zhao Jing said quickly.

“I know some people of the Mu Clan. I believe they will be very happy to witness Fanxue Mountain come to ruins. I’ll contact them immediately. HAHAHA, Fanxue Mountain, holding onto something so valuable is going to bring you trouble. I can finally take its rich lands for myself!” Lin Kang burst out laughing.

Speaking of killing two birds with one stone!

Fanxue Mountain occupied an important part of North City as its own private lands. What were the mayors before him even doing? Why would they allow Fanxue Mountain to stay and grow?

The whole of North City was supposed to belong to the North City Fortress. Fanxue New City was supposed to belong to him, too!

The other leaders and Councilmen of Feiniao Headquarters City might respect Fanxue Mountain since it had been around since the beginning, but Lin Kang had never been afraid of trouble.

He had long wanted to take down Fanxue Mountain. He just needed someone to start the fire first!

Zhao Jing just so happened to be plotting against Fanxue Mountain, using the Earth Flame Pistil as a fuse!

“Gather the men and seal off Fanxue Mountain’s perimeter. No one is allowed to go in or out of the place. Arrest everyone who doesn’t comply with them. Violence is permitted against those who try to fight back!” Lin Kang ordered his aide-de-camp.

Lin Kang was never hesitant about making a move, and he had always been ruthless. He desperately needed to take control of Fanxue New City!

“I’ll gather some reliable helpers. We must get it done as quickly as possible,” Zhao Jing added eagerly.
