"That's right." Hearing this, everyone remembered, and someone asked, "Why do you think that is?"
"Knowing he was wanted, he still showed up in the city?"
“Who knows?” the others replied. “We’re not them, how would we know what they’re thinking?”
The surrounding chatter was incessant, but the three ignored it and headed into the city, intending to find an inn to stay in. However, before they could find an inn, a group of people came looking for them.
When the group arrived, they immediately surrounded Ling Yi and his two companions. The people and vendors on the street saw this and ran away. In the blink of an eye, the area around them was empty.
The leader looked at the three men: "Not only did you kill the city lord of Biancheng, but you also injured my Flower Dance City guards. Isn't that going a bit too far?"
Ling Yi raised his eyes to look at the speaker: "We only acted to protect ourselves. For example, right now, you and your men are blocking our way. What do you want to do?"
"Self-defense?" The man sneered. "Young lady, you're joking. You're wanted criminals, so it's normal for people to attack you. What do you mean by self-defense?"
Ling Yi smiled upon hearing this: "So, you're going to make a move too?"
"Of course," the newcomer said. "We are here to arrest you on the orders of the city lord!"
"Take them down!"
At his command, the group immediately charged at the three men.
The three encountered numerous attacks on their way here. They coordinated perfectly, and whenever the enemy attacked, Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu would retreat immediately, leaving Ling Yi behind.
Those who made the move were somewhat surprised to see this scene. What was going on?
Weren't they together? Why did the other two run away?
Just as everyone was wondering, Ling Yi drew his bone knife, used his teleportation to get close to one of the people, and attacked him. Seeing this, the others dared not be careless anymore and all moved closer to Ling Yi.
Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu stopped above a shop, watching the battle below. Only when someone abandoned Ling Yi and came towards them did Ye Qingshuang take out her flute to attack.
Ling Yi's speed, combined with his instantaneous flash, was like a ghost. Those people already had a hard time catching Ling Yi, and with Ye Qingshuang's flute music interfering with their efforts, it became even more difficult for them to catch him.
"puff"
As the bone knife fell, a deep, bone-revealing wound appeared on one of the men, who immediately let out a scream. Seeing this, the others tried to attack Ling Yi, but Ling Yi moved and instantly disappeared from the spot.
The group had no choice but to change their attack direction and chase after Ling Yi. However, just as they were chasing Ling Yi, he used his teleportation ability to return to the injured person's side. His unarmed hand gripped the injured person's shoulder and began to devour him.
The injured man realized this and immediately tried to shout, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his throat was slit by a bone knife.
Discarding the corpse, Ling Yi turned and attacked the others. Soon, only five of the twenty people who had come were left.
The man who had initially declared his intention to capture Ling Yi and his companions looked utterly incredulous upon seeing this scene: "How could this be!?"
How could this be?
He brought along experts raised by the city lord's mansion, all of whom were at the Spirit Saint stage. How could they be no match for a Level 1 Spirit Venerable?
The leader was incredulous, but just as he was in shock and disbelief, Ling Yi dealt with the other five people and came toward him.
Seeing this, the man turned to run, but as soon as he turned, Ling Yi appeared in front of him. The next moment, the bone knife stabbed towards the man. The man was startled and leaned back, barely dodging the attack. But before he could regain his balance, Ling Yi kicked him, sending him flying.
With a "bang," the man fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
After actually fighting Ling Yi, the man discovered the problem: Ling Yi's cultivation level was far higher than he had seen!
The man fell to the ground and struggled to get up when a foot stepped on his chest, causing him to scream in pain.
Ling Yi sheathed her bone knife and looked down at the man. The man was in pain, and upon seeing Ling Yi, he immediately begged for mercy: "Miss, I was ungrateful. Please have mercy and spare my life..."
There was no way he would spare him, but he could make him play a role before he died. With that thought, Ling squatted down and placed his hand on the man's forehead, beginning to absorb the man's power.
After absorbing all the power within the man's body, Ling Yi casually snapped the man's neck.
After dealing with the people, Ling Yi touched their storage magic items, then looked at Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu on the roof: "It's time to go."
Upon hearing this, the two men leaped down, and the three of them ignored the corpses on the ground and headed into the city.
The onlookers, who had been hiding in the distance, only spoke up after the three men left.
"He killed so many experts all by himself, that's amazing!"
"They killed people from the city lord's mansion; they're all doomed now..."
"I don't think so," someone said. "The border city lord's mansion also has experts, and what happened?"
"Shut up." The other person looked at the speaker: "Are you saying that our city lord might also be killed?"
"Aren't you afraid that the people in the city lord's mansion will find out if you say that?"
"No, I hinted at it, but I didn't say it directly. You should have said it directly." The man said unhappily, "You understand, that's enough. Why do you have to explain it so clearly?"
"Hey, stop arguing. Everyone's just watching. Nobody's going to say anything." Someone stopped the two from arguing: "Everyone's gone. Let's stop arguing here. Let's leave quickly, or the people from the City Lord's Mansion might take their anger out on us when they come."
The onlookers, finding this reasonable, immediately left from different places, and the news spread after they left.
On the other side, the three of them searched for a while before finding an inn and immediately went inside.
The innkeeper almost cried when he saw the three of them enter.
News of what happened at the city gate has spread. These three killed people from the city lord's mansion, and the city lord will not let them go. He will definitely send people to arrest them, and if a fight breaks out, his inn will surely suffer. But if he doesn't agree to let these three stay, they might just kill him...
In order to survive, the innkeeper opened a room for the three of them. After the waiter led them upstairs, he quickly contacted the city lord's mansion and informed them of their whereabouts.
In fact, even if the shopkeeper didn't say it, the people from the city lord's mansion knew, but they didn't take action immediately because Ling Yi was too troublesome.
...
City Lord's Mansion.
After listening to her subordinate's report, Hua Qianyu raised an eyebrow: "They're all dead?"
"Yes," the guard reported. "I saw it with my own eyes; all the men Li Qing brought were dead."
"It's good that he's dead." Hua Qianyu threw a handful of bait into the lake: "My troublesome younger brother was too eager to make a name for himself, but little did he know that he had messed with the wrong person."
“Miss, the master is furious about this. Should we take action?” the guard said. “If we can capture those three, we can prove to the master that we are more capable than the young master.”
