The Rebirth of the Immortal Emperor: I am the Lord

In Fuxing City, in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, just as the messenger was leaving with his order, the housekeeper ran in with a panicked look and sweat on his forehead. His face was full of anxiety and tension, and he reported breathlessly: "My lord, the envoys of the Dafeng Empire came to collect the annual tribute and have now arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion. They look aggressive and seem to be very dissatisfied with us."

Hearing this, Ye Tian's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The envoys of the Great Wind Empire came to collect the annual tribute? And they came with a fierce momentum and were dissatisfied with us——? What the hell?"

However, before Ye Tian finished speaking, a loud quarrel broke out outside, "How dare you! I am the tribute collector of the Dafeng Empire. It would be fine if your city lord did not come out to greet me, but you dared to stop me. Are you tired of living?"

"Hmph! Who do we care who you are? Without the permission of our Holy Lord, no one can set foot here!" The guards of the City Lord's Mansion responded righteously without showing any weakness.

"What? Holy Lord? A bold lunatic! How dare you be so arrogant and domineering in the territory of my Great Wind Empire? It's simply lawless! Where is Luofeng? In the Great Wind Empire, what kind of Holy Lord is he? Could it be that he wants to be the emperor? I want to see for myself, who gave a mere city lord such courage to be so rebellious and unscrupulous! Does he really think that the empire can't do anything to him?"

"Get out of my way! If you don't, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"Humph! Without our lord's permission, even the king of heaven can't even take a single step here."

"presumptuous!"

"Bang bang bang...!"

Only an angry shout was heard, followed by two loud bangs.

“Ah! Enemy attack—enemy attack—!”

As he shouted angrily, two guards flew in from outside the City Lord's Mansion and fell to the ground with a bang. They seemed to be seriously injured.

Seeing this, Ye Tian's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he flashed directly to the two guards and helped them up.

"Lord!"

When the two guards saw Ye Tian, ​​they immediately struggled to kneel down. Ye Tian signaled them not to move, and then put two healing pills into the guards' mouths. After a while, when the two guards calmed down, he looked at the three tribute collectors from the Dafeng Empire who were walking towards the mansion aggressively. "Not bad, one Xuanxian and two Tianxian, they are already as powerful as most city lords, no wonder they are so arrogant." Ye Tian thought to himself.

However, before Ye Tian could speak, the tribute collector from the Gale Empire who was walking in front of him shouted coldly, "Who are you? Where is Luo Feng?"

"You are the one who broke into my city lord's mansion and beat up my people?" Ye Tian did not answer him, but looked directly at the official and asked him harshly. There was a strong murderous intent in his words.

"Hmph! I have shown mercy by not killing this disrespectful slave outright. How dare you question me? You are so bold." The official's eyes were wide open and his voice was deafening, as if he wanted to cut Ye Tian into pieces.

"I don't know if I'm brave or not, as long as you admit that you did it." Ye Tian raised his lips slightly, revealing a disdainful smile. His eyes were as cold as frost, which made people shudder. Before he finished speaking, Ye Tian's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the official like a ghost. Before the other party could react, a loud slap hit him hard in the face.

Although the palm strike was not very powerful, it still made the official dizzy and see stars. He stumbled and fell to the ground, his face full of astonishment and resentment. However, this was just the beginning. Just as the other two followers tried to help, Ye Tian kicked one of them in the abdomen. The man groaned, and then flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground, unable to move.

Then, Ye Tian turned around and kicked another follower at lightning speed. With a "bang", the man was kicked to the ground without any resistance. At this moment, they were like two puddles of mud, lying on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Then, Ye Tian slowly raised his foot and stepped on the chest of the tribute collector, looking down at the tribute collector of the Dafeng Empire from a high position, his eyes full of contempt and indifference. "Who gave you the courage to attack my people?" Ye Tian's voice was icy cold, with an unquestionable majesty.

Only then did the tribute collector recover from the severe pain, shock and anger. He immediately glared, his eyes wide open, and roared hysterically: "You, you, you are a bunch of rebellious dogs. Not only do you call yourself the Holy Lord, but you also openly beat the tribute collector of the empire. You are rebelling! I will report you to the empire, cut you into pieces, and punish you severely!" His face flushed red, and veins on his neck bulged. It was obvious that he had lost his mind in anger.

Seeing this, the internal affairs manager was dumbfounded and showed an extremely shocked look! He didn't expect that their holy master would show no mercy to the tribute collectors of the Dafeng Empire! He knew the status of these tribute collectors in the Dafeng Empire. Once they were really angered, it would inevitably bring huge trouble to Fuxing City. But he also knew that since Ye Tian dared to take action against the tribute officials of the Dafeng Empire, he had his reasons. What's more, the current Fuxing City is no longer the original Luofeng City. Although Ye Tian did not explicitly announce his separation from the Dafeng Empire, in this era of war and heroes, Fuxing City may not necessarily give face to the Dafeng Empire.

At this moment, tears welled up in the eyes of the two beaten guards! They were just lowly slaves in the eyes of others, people at the bottom of society! However, their lord personally helped them up and fed them the healing elixir. At the end, he openly responded to the officials of the empire. "Who gave you the courage to attack my people? And avenge them on the spot--!" Such domineering words, such a protective feeling--! The warm currents were like a firm force, rolling up and spreading quickly in their hearts. And their eyes became more determined at this moment. At this moment, in their hearts, there was a touch of determination, "With such a lord, even if they are asked to die, they are willing...!"

At this moment, when the tribute collector of the Dafeng Empire was lying on the ground and shouting, the chief guard also led a large number of guards to rush over. When he saw Ye Tian and the person under Ye Tian's feet, his face suddenly changed, and he knelt on the ground in panic, saying in fear and trepidation: "My lord, I was negligent in defense and let the enemy break into the mansion. I deserve to die. Please punish me!"

"Please punish us, my lord!" Upon hearing this, all the defense troops who rushed over knelt down and asked for punishment.

Seeing the chief guard and the guards kneeling down to plead guilty, Ye Tian waved his hand and signaled them to stand up. His eyes fell on the chief guard and he said calmly, "Stand up, it's not your fault." Then, Ye Tian raised his hand and pointed at the two guards who were beaten and said, "They have done a good job."

Upon hearing this, the chief guard immediately turned his attention to the two guards. He felt relieved, but still did not dare to slack off. He glanced at the tribute collector who was stepped on by Ye Tian, ​​and felt relieved. Fortunately, Lord Ye Tian was wise and did not blame them, otherwise they would not be able to escape punishment no matter what the result would be if the enemy broke into the city lord's mansion. At the same time, he hated the three people lying on the ground and wanted to drag them out and behead them immediately.

Finally, he immediately stood up and said respectfully: "My lord, what should we do with these bandits? Should we drag them out and behead them?" His words were filled with an extremely strong murderous aura.

"Tie them up and see what their purpose is. As for whether to kill them or not, it depends on their performance." Although Ye Tian already knew that they were the tribute collectors of the Dafeng Empire, he still wanted to teach them a good lesson. At the same time, he also wanted to understand how the tribute of the Dafeng Empire was collected, how much tribute each city paid each year, and the current situation of the Dafeng Empire, so Ye Tian did not plan to kill them immediately.

"Yes!"

Following Ye Tian's order, the captain of the guards took action personally and led the soldiers to tie up several people.

Seeing this, the tribute collector was frightened by Ye Tian's words and trembled all over. He realized that he seemed to have hit a wall. He thought that he could do whatever he wanted here with his status and strength, but he didn't expect to meet a lawless master who was stronger than him.

But although he was terrified in his heart, he refused to give in and still said with all his might: "How dare you treat the imperial tribute collectors in this way? Aren't you afraid of the wrath of the empire?"

Ye Tian sneered and said, "The empire's annual tribute collector, the empire's anger? I have never seen it before. However, if you still want to continue to challenge my patience, I don't mind letting you see my anger." As he spoke, Ye Tian increased the strength of his feet, causing the tribute collector to scream in pain.
