Upon hearing Feng Jiu’s words, the Captain of the city guard’s face darkened: “Did you know that he is our City Lord’s brother-in-law? If your subordinate killed him, do you think that the matter will not be pursued?”
Feng Jiu chuckled lightly: “We were just defending ourselves. What’s more, we haven’t held him accountable for trying to kill us yet. If we were to pursue this and hold him accountable, even your City Lord will be implicated by him.”
The Captain of the City Guards’ eyes flickered when he heard this, then he looked at Feng Jiu and her companions and said: “Are you from out of town?”
“Yes, we happened to be passing by and decided to rest here.” Feng Jiu said casually.
When the Captain of the City Guards heard this, a look of understanding appeared on his face: “No wonder you dare to speak such words. We must take this person back to report on this matter. As for the two of you, you better leave quickly! If our City Lord cos, you won’t be able to leave even if you wanted to.”
Based on the appearances of those two won, if their City Lord were to co over, they wouldn’t be able to escape his clutches even if they weren’t involved in the matter. Others didn’t know this, but there were many beautiful won in the City Lord Manor who had been kidnapped secretly. If those won caught the eye of the City Lord, these won would surely catch his eye too.
“The City Lord is here!”
Soone shouted from behind. Feng Jiu and the others looked over and saw a team of people trotting down the street quickly towards them. In the middle of the team of people was a middle aged man about forty years old who also walked over quickly. The first thing he looked at was not his dead brother-in-law on the ground but at Feng Jiu, who was dazzling in red.
When he saw such a beautiful woman, a look of astonishnt flashed across his eyes and his eyes sparkled brightly. He stared at her as if she was a prey, and without saying more, he shouted in a deep voice: “Arrest them all!”
When she saw the guards rushing forwards, Leng Shuang, who was standing at the side, shouted in a cold voice: “Presumptuous!”
As soon as she had spoken, coercion spread. The strong pressure had imdiately caused the guards to stop one by one, and they retreated with pale faces. They vaguely felt like a mountain was pressing on them making them unable to stand upright.
The City Lord was staring at Feng Jiu and he wondered in his heart: How can there be such a beautiful woman? However, in the next mont, he heard the cold shout and felt the terrifying pressure. The pressure pierced his body like an ice needle and made him shiver. He ca to his senses and looked at the woman in black.
“You, you…’
He stared at Leng Shuang in horror, unable to believe that such a powerful pressure was coming from the woman in black. Under the force of the pressure, the energy and blood in his body surged. However, the blood was bone-piercingly cold, and the pressure was getting stronger and heavier to the point that he was unable to continue standing and his knees bent under the pressure. He knelt down with a plop and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
“City Lord!”
Everyone was shocked and looked at the City Lord who was kneeling on the ground in horror.
As for the people around them, as they weren’t close enough, the coercion didn’t affect them. Hence. they didn’t know why the City Lord reacted that wav so suddenly, but they vaguely felt that it had sothing to do with the woman in black who had shouted.
The Captain of the City Guards was so shocked as he looked on that he was unable to speak. He felt that the coercion hadn’t dissipated and was still perating through the air, but most of it had fallen onto the City Lord.
“Amitabha, lady benefactor, be forgiving and spare them..”
