Reverse War Surpass Immortal Chapter 789 - 728: Unfathomable

The middle-aged man was the local City Lord. Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, he imdiately set out with his troops.

They advanced at an extrely fast pace, and in less than 15 minutes, they had amassed over ten thousand Imperial Guards to completely surround the Red Flower Restaurant.

All the patrons and staff inside the Red Flower Restaurant had left, none of them wanted to be innocent victims caught in the crossfire.

"Listen up, everyone inside, co out and surrender imdiately, and our City Lord will spare your lives!"

An officer shouted loudly.

The City Lord quickly asked, "Why don't you storm in right now?"

"City Lord, the criminals have taken the young master hostage; we can't just charge in! If we corner the criminals, they might kill the young master, and that would complicate things. I want to first calm the criminals and trick them into laying down their weapons, then capture them all at once."

The officer hurriedly explained.

The City Lord was extrely worried about his son's safety, but upon further reflection, he realized the officer's plan was quite sensible.

He imdiately cald himself down and then said, "Prepare the experts to ambush those criminals!"

"City Lord, there are two Martial Saint Realm criminals there; our n might not be a match for them!"

The officer hesitated for a mont before responding.

Hearing this, beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on the City Lord's forehead. He hadn't expected that there would be two Martial Saint Experts among the opponents.

He knew that Martial Saints were considered top figures in the Jiuzhou Continent, and in his understanding, a Martial Saint could at least enter a Major Sect and beco an elder-level figure.

Despite his wealth and resources, which allowed him to gather nurous Ninth Level Martial Emperor Martial Artists,

it was because of this he knew just how powerful and rare Martial Saints were.

Now thinking about his son being held hostage by two Martial Saints, although he resented those two Martial Saints, he couldn't help but wonder why his son had provoked two Martial Saints.

Currently, there was only one Martial Saint Expert in the city, and furthermore, this Martial Saint Expert was not under his command; this was an expert from the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.

This expert was stationed here rely to gather local intelligence.

Furthermore, this Martial Saint Expert was at the First Level of Martial Saint, and he was stationed here just for training.

The City Lord did not expect that he could command the Martial Saint from the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect to subdue those two Martial Saints, and besides, this place was under the dominion of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect. What if those two Martial Saints belonged to the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect?

"We have to rely on ourselves to solve this problem now!"

The City Lord thought to himself. After pondering for a mont, he imdiately called over a trusted subordinate.

"Go get Dagger here at once!" the City Lord told his confidant.

"Understood!"

The confidant was a reliable subordinate of the City Lord; he knew that the "Dagger" the City Lord ntioned was actually the leader of an assassin organization on the Jiuzhou Continent.

That leader was currently living in the city, and the City Lord needed Dagger for so matters that weren't exactly honorable.

Thus, Dagger and so of his subordinates were stationed here.

Duan Gujin took a few glances at Qing Lian who rely gave him a faint look, as if she did not recognize him.

Duan Gujin felt a sudden sinking in his heart. He then exhaled and said, "Qing Lian, what's wrong with you? Are your eyes alright? Don't you recognize ?"

"I know who you are, no more nonsense!"

Qing Lian responded indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin's heart sank abruptly.

He was unsure whether stepping forward earlier was right or wrong, a sense of foreboding always flickered through his mind.

"I know you two used to be a couple, no need to pretend! Just sit here today and watch how I perform!"

Suddenly, Zhao Wuji spoke indifferently.

Hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Duan Gujin's expression darkened. He guessed that Zhao Wuji might have accessed Qing Lian's mories and knew about his relationship with her.

That's why Qing Lian was reluctant to speak to him previously.

Duan Gujin wanted to know the truth, but he assud that with Zhao Wuji's capabilities, the opponent must be well-prepared.

Moreover, he felt that Zhao Wuji's power had already reached the Shattering Void Realm.

Facing such formidable strength, he feared he had no power to retaliate.

At this mont, the officer outside continued to shout loudly, demanding them to release the hostages.

However, Zhao Wuji waved his right hand and a sky-covering dark cloud appeared overhead.

Seeing the black clouds enveloping the entire city, the people below began to fear.

"My god! What is that?"

Everyone imdiately felt terrified, having no idea what was happening outside and why the clear sky had suddenly turned dark with clouds.

A lot of them were instantly struck with fear.

Especially the soldiers outside the Red Flower Restaurant, they imdiately lit torches, illuminating the entire ground.

Monts later, whooshing sounds of the wind ca from all directions.

The whooshing winds blew the soldiers outside into disarray, they could hardly keep their footing; many soldiers simply lay down on the ground, not moving at all.

Yet, the whooshing wind did not reach other areas of the city.

Seeing this bizarre scene, everyone imdiately realized that the winds were targeting those soldiers.

"City Lord, what should we do?"

The officers outside beca fearful.

"Everyone, don't panic!"

Although the City Lord told others not to panic, he was extrely fearful himself.

Seeing the drastic changes before him, he imdiately thought it was very likely that his son had provoked a formidable enemy, or that the enemy had co for him.

Regardless of which possibility, the enemy's power was beyond his imagination.

"Where is Dagger?"

The City Lord suddenly felt an overwhelming fear, his only hope was that Dagger and his assassins could handle the two Martial Saint Experts ahead.

After a while, he heard a voice transmission near his ear.

"City Lord, are you looking for ?"

Hearing the voice transmission, the City Lord beca extrely excited. He looked around and soon saw a young man.

The young man had a cold expression, emotionless face, but his eyes flashed with sharp coldness.

"Dagger, do you think you and your subordinates can handle those two Martial Saint Experts ahead?"

The City Lord imdiately communicated to Dagger through a covert voice transmission.

Dagger spread his Divine Sense outward, carefully probing Duan Gujin and Zhao Wuji ahead.

After a while, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "City Lord, I don't think my subordinates can handle those two Martial Saint Experts. Their strength is really strong! One of the Martial Saint Experts has a combat power that's at least at the Third Level of Martial Saint, and the other Martial Saint Expert feels even more terrifying! You should not underestimate those two Martial Saint Experts' power! I'm afraid even if the City Lord sends all his soldiers, it wouldn't help!"

Hearing Dagger's words, the City Lord imdiately gasped.
