Chapter 282 Returning to Shanghai
The Sandy Bone Dragon glanced fearfully at Jiang Feng on the shore. In the past, it would never have dared to show its face and stop Jiang Feng when he passed by on the Sandy River. But now that Jiang Feng's strength has been greatly reduced, if it could take the opportunity to kill Jiang Feng, it would be the undisputed overlord of the Sandy River and even the northern corner of the Scorching Plains, and all living beings would have to submit to it.
But it never expected to encounter a human, and not a weak one at that, and it never expected that Jiang Feng's strength was still extremely formidable.
Having reached the level of the Sand-Bound Bone Dragon, its intelligence is in no way inferior to that of humans. If it continues, it will definitely be killed by Jiang Feng and that human. After thinking about it, the Sand-Bound Bone Dragon finally let out a reluctant cry. Immediately, the white sand demon soldiers and the withered bone sand demons in the Sand-Bound River obediently dived into the white sand river.
"Ring!!" Jiang Feng called out to Jiang Han and the others, signaling them to prepare to leave. After understanding Jiang Feng's meaning,
Jiang Han called out to Mo Fan and the others below, who were looking rather disheveled, "Let's go! What are you all standing around for?"
After saying that, the dragon beneath Jiang Han's feet began to descend, while the second dragon was sent back to the dimensional space by Jiang Han. After Mo Fan and the others jumped onto the back of the undead giant lizard pseudo-dragon, they followed Jiang Feng and flew towards Dunhuang.
Jiang Feng moved quickly and disappeared from Jiang Han's and the others' sight after leaving the Sha Wang River.
After the communicator regained signal, Nan Yu also sent the situation of Zhuoyuan North Corner to the Dunhuang Guard District. Upon receiving the news, the Dunhuang Guard District also took emergency precautions, and the entire city of Dunhuang was on high alert, ready to deal with the arrival of the overlord of Zhuoyuan North Corner - Jiang Feng!
Although Nan Yu stated in the message that Jiang Feng (the Flame Witch)'s target was the person who stole the Fire Calamity Fruit and that she would not easily attack other humans, the other forces in Dunhuang Guard District and Dunhuang City still did not believe it and prepared various defensive formations in advance.
They dared not gamble; if they lost, the entire city of Dunhuang would be completely destroyed.
Jiang Han and Mo Fan, along with the others, flew for most of the day on the undead giant lizard pseudo-dragon before returning to Dunhuang City. After registering their information, they had to part ways with Nan Yu and the others. Before leaving, Nan Yu came up to Jiang Han and said, "Thank you for saving us this time."
"If you need any help in Dunhuang, our Dunhuang Garrison will do our best to assist you."
"Well, we're going to find our companions now. See you again someday," Jiang Han said with a smile.
After parting ways with Nan Yu and the others, Jiang Han took out his phone from the system space and called Xin Xia. Xin Xia answered the phone quickly, and her voice was as pleasant and melodious as ever.
"Brother Jiang Han, are you alright?"
"It's nothing. Where are you? Mo Fan and I have already arrived in Dunhuang and will come find you right away," Jiang Han said with a smile.
"We've already returned to Shanghai. We were originally going to stay in Dunhuang and wait for you, but Zhao Manyan's uncle forcibly brought us to Shanghai, saying he was afraid we'd fall victim to the Flame Witch," Xinxia replied.
"Zhao Manyan's uncle? Is he that scumbag Zhao Yulin?" Mo Fan suddenly interjected.
"Okay." Jiang Han nodded, then added, "Where in Shanghai are you? Also, be careful of that woman wrapped in white cloth. She's a powerful mind mage. Xue Ling was ambushed by her, and she hasn't fully recovered from her injuries yet."
"What? Is Xue Ling alright?" Xin Xia asked with concern.
"It's alright, he should be fully recovered after half a day of rest. Be careful, Mo Fan and I will book our return flight right away," Jiang Han said.
"We're in the southwestern suburbs of Shanghai, in a place called LOHAS Town. We're at the Zhao Family Manor here," Xin Xia said on the other end of the phone.
"By the way, don't tell Monkey or Zhao Manyan about this. Just you and Lingling know," Jiang Han added.
"Okay, I understand," Xinxia replied.
After hanging up the phone, Mo Fan couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Han, I can understand why you asked Xin Xia not to tell Zhao Manyan, but why keep it from Monkey?"
"Monkeys don't talk nonsense, but they can't stop others from having a high-level mind-manipulation mage," Jiang Han said.
"What the hell? A high-level mind mage?" Mo Fan's eyes widened.
"Would you have fallen for this if you weren't a high-level Snow Spirit?" Jiang Han said irritably.
Immediately, Jiang Han and Mo Fan went to Dunhuang Airport and booked two tickets to return to Shanghai for the day. After a flight of about five hours, the two finally arrived in Shanghai.
After getting off the plane, Jiang Han used his mobile phone to call a car to the Leisure Town in the southwestern suburbs. To Mo Fan's surprise, Zhao Yulin's large villa estate was very close to their original resettlement house.
The Leisure Town is located in a factory area away from downtown Shanghai. Along the road, there are various processing plants, warehouses and companies. So, all you can see are buildings, factories and houses that are not very formal. From Mo Fan, we learned that Uncle Mo Jiaxing delivers goods for a company called Deqiang Aquatic Products.
"You still don't understand. I gave my dad a lot of money so he could live a comfortable retirement, but he refused, saying he wanted to earn money. He's saved all the money I gave him. I don't even know what to say anymore," Mo Fan said, looking out at the factory buildings.
"Why don't you buy their company and let Uncle Mo sit in the office as the boss?" Jiang Han said casually.
"Uh, I really didn't think of that," Mo Fan said somewhat awkwardly.
As the two chatted, they arrived at Zhao's Manor in the Happy Town. This manor is Zhao Yulin's private estate, and even the land in the entire town belongs to Zhao Yulin. His manor is built on a mountain and is full of European style.
There is a paved road that winds around the estate, with lush pine and maple trees lining the roadside. The environment is quite nice. In the center of the estate, there is a large fountain, and many gardeners trim the flowers and plants every day.
As soon as Jiang Han and Mo Fan arrived at the foot of the mountain, they were stopped by the patrolling mages. After they showed their identities, someone went to inform them, but they were allowed to enter after a short time.
On his way up the mountain, Jiang Han saw many patrolling mages, and the manor was surrounded by a fence as high as a city wall, with overall security almost comparable to that of a military base in some areas.
As Jiang Han passed by the patrolling mages, he overheard their conversation.
"I'm so sleepy. Has Master Zhao gone mad? Making us keep watch 24 hours a day? Is something big going to happen?" one of the patrolling monks asked his companion while yawning.
"Who knows? But I heard from the captain inside that they apparently invited people from the Mu clan, saying that it would be safer to have someone from an ice-elemental family here," said another patrol mage with a somewhat shifty look.
"Could it be that Mr. Zhao and his group offended the Dongfang family? I've heard that the Mu family and the Dongfang family are mortal enemies for a thousand years."
No matter how they tried to guess, they would never have guessed that Zhao Yulin and the others had made so many preparations to guard against Jiang Feng. Although Jiang Feng's strength had been greatly reduced due to the Cold Iron Thorn, Zhao Yulin and the Ghost Woman were still worried. That's why they gathered a large number of mages to arm the entire manor to the teeth, and even sent people to the Mu family in the capital to invite several experts over in case of trouble.
Upon entering the manor, the manor's head guard, Haiyan, said, "Wait a moment, I will take you to see your companions, but Master Zhao instructed that you must stay here for a few days and cannot leave the manor at will."
"Of course, you are free to move around in the manor. There are various entertainment facilities, as well as meditation rooms, training grounds, and practice fields. The Fourth Young Master will take care of you."
