Hearing Xu Zii’s words, Huang Yue fell silent.
She gave Xu Zii a deep look and finally whispered, "Are you planning to wade into these muddy waters?"
"Are you threatening ?" Xu Zii asked coolly, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Not really," Huang Yue shook her head and said, "This matter originally had nothing to do with you.
Once we’re back in Phoenix Feather City, we’ll go our separate ways.
What does the life or death of the Phoenix Perching Empire have to do with you?"
Xu Zii chuckled lightly and calmly said, "Then tell your people to be careful. If they provoke , I won’t mind taking so ti to wipe you out."
"Once you truly understand the True God Cult, you’ll realize how naive your current words are."
Huang Yue did not refute but simply stated the facts calmly.
"How does it compare to the Imperial Rule Immortal Sect?" Xu Zii asked, eyes slightly narrowed.
"Only stronger, not weaker," replied Huang Yue.
"How about a sect with four Emperors?"
Huang Yue was silent for a mont, giving Xu Zii a deep look, but said no more.
As the two of them were talking, Huang Xing suddenly turned around in front and shouted, "What are you two doing back there?
Hurry up!"
Xu Zii smiled and quickened his pace.
The group had just reached a corner of the street when they were drawn to a commotion.
They saw many people gathered around the entrance of a pharmacy, and two n dressed like household servants were grabbing a young girl.
The girl was desperately resisting.
"What’s happening?" Huang Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this scene and quickly strode over.
His nature was one to abhor evil, and moreover, the Sansi possessed the authority to patrol and supervise all under heaven.
"Dad, save , save !"
The girl kept calling for help.
At the pharmacy entrance behind her, a man in a gray shirt tried to step forward but was held in place by two guards.
"Young Master Lue, if you have a grudge, take it out on . Let my daughter go."
The man in gray shouted toward the young man in front.
The youth had slickly combed hair and was clothed in a light cyan robe embellished with a few black flowers.
Holding a folding fan in his hand, he said with a smile, "Old Zhang, this is Phoenix Hoaring City. My word is the authority here.
Having your daughter as my concubine would ensure wealth and honor for the rest of her life, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"
"Young Master Lue, I’m begging you, let her go," the man in gray pleaded bitterly.
However, the young man in cyan paid no attention and just watched with a smiling gaze as the guards held onto the girl.
The onlookers sighed softly at this scene.
They dared not speak out loud, only whispering among themselves.
"Zhang Bin’s really unlucky.
It’s said that they’re newcors in Phoenix Hoaring City, only just managed to save up so silver to open a pharmacy.
Who would have thought his daughter would catch the eye of that scoundrel Lue Jin?"
"Keep it down, Lue Jin is the City Lord’s son. If he hears you, you’re done for."
"To , it’s not that bad, Zhang Bin’s daughter marrying Young Master Lue would an a life of wealth and prosperity, quite good, right?"
"What do you know? I’ve heard that Lue Jin has a peculiar habit, he loves to torture people.
There’s never been a woman who’s been with him that could leave the bed unscathed."
"Can’t be!"
...
For the mont leaving aside the people’s chatter, Huang Xing strode forward and grabbed the two guards, flinging them away.
"Are you okay?" Huang Xing quickly asked the girl.
The girl didn’t respond, just curled up, shivering.
Seeing this, Huang Xing’s brows furrowed deeper.
He looked at Lue Jin and snorted, "I want to ask Young Master Lue what cri she has committed."
"And by what authority, what right do you have to arrest her?"
"Looks like we’ve got a nosy one here," Lue Jin said as he held a folding fan, idly fanning himself while smiling.
"Then may I ask what kind of thing you are, to dare ddle in this young master’s affairs?"
"Seeking death," Huang Xing’s gaze hardened, and his large hand pressed down directly.
Already harboring much anger because of Huang Yue’s matter, he now found an outlet for release.
As this palm pressed down, spiritual energy around wildly surged.
Loud booms echoed in the surroundings.
Seeing this palm, Lue Jin was completely stunned in place.
Then suddenly, he quickly snapped back to reality, frantically shouting, "Guard Shen, aren’t you coming out? Do you want to see die?"
As his words fell, the empty space beside him began to ripple.
A figure slowly erged from the void.
This was a man in a purple robe with a sword hanging at his waist, and his aura was equally astonishing.
Xu Zii glanced at him and knew that this man was a newly advanced Emperor Pulse strongman.
As the palm with boundless might descended, the man’s brows furrowed deeply.
He gathered strands of purple spiritual energy around his body, concentrating all of it in his hands.
His hands were held up to the sky, making a firm stand against Huang Xing’s crushing force.
Loud booms erupted above their heads.
"A re glimpse of light dares not to compete with the radiant moon," Huang Xing snorted coldly again.
He showed no rcy, greatly increasing the force in his hand.
The man finally lost his footing, spitting out blood, and was sent flying out.
And when Huang Xing’s hand descended, he saw a palm flying toward Lue Jin.
With a smack,
at the sound of the loud clap, accompanied by a scream, Lue Jin was seen flying backward.
"You dare hit ," Lue Jin struggled to stand up, not minding the redness and pain on his face, looking at Huang Xing with disbelief.
"I even want to kill you," Huang Xing said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the words that were about to leave Lue Jin’s mouth ca to an abrupt halt.
He turned to the man in the purple robe, yelling, "Useless, all of you are useless."
"Young Master Lue should speak more politely," the man in the purple robe said evenly, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Your father helped to break through to the Emperor Pulse Realm, and I only promised him to ensure your safety.
I am not your bodyguard."
"Bullying n and won, boldly kidnapping common won in broad daylight, and arbitrarily charging entry fees into the city.
I indeed want to see what kind of person our esteed City Lord is."
Huang Ri said blandly from the side.
"Take him to see the City Lord," Huang Xing grabbed Lue Jin,
as if carrying a chicken, walking towards the direction of the City Lord Mansion.
"Let go, I can walk myself," Lue Jin struggled fiercely.
"Smack!"
With a slap, things quieted down significantly.
...
The City Lord Mansion is located in the most prosperous area of Phoenix Hoaring City.
It stands at the intersection of several main streets, at the very center of the city.
The massive mansion appeared magnificent and majestic.
At the entrance stood two large red lions, carved from mutton fat jade.
