Capítulo 1427: Chapter 1428: Visiting the City Lord
The solitary mber of the Human Clan, unaware of his surroundings, spoke to himself, “If you don’t kneel, there’s only death awaiting you!”
As he spoke, the steward of this so-called City Lord Mansion silently watched Lin Qian in front of him, waiting for him to kneel.
In his eyes, Lin Qian had no room for resistance at all. After all, his opponent’s strength was not worth ntioning.
Just a re Third Level in Dao Realm, possessing a Soul Crystal of this quality was simply a cri.
However, the steward of the City Lord Mansion had no idea what kind of strength Lin Qian, standing before him, truly possessed.
At the ti Lin Qian and others were purchasing the residence, they needed to test their cultivation realm and make so reports.
Because after purchasing a residence in Yuan City, Lin Qian and his people were considered residents of Yuan City, recording their cultivation realm was a reasonable requirent.
However, Lin Qian and his people opted to conceal their cultivation realm to avoid unnecessary attention, setting it around Fifth Level in Dao Realm without flaunting it.
But who could have thought that this supposed trouble would find them regardless, leaving them with no escape?
Lin Qian didn’t need much thought to understand why the steward of the City Lord Mansion had co after him.
Perhaps the City Lord of Yuan City had set his sights on Lin Qian’s Soul Crystal, driven by greed and intending to act.
Since Lin Qian and his people concealed their cultivation during the report, the other party didn’t pay any mind to them.
Or perhaps it was a private decision by the steward of the City Lord Mansion unrelated to the City Lord.
But one thing was certain—the person before him was no different from an idiot.
“Looks like we’ll need to take a look at this City Lord Mansion,” Lin Qian did not regard the Human Clan mber before him at all, turning to his Pri Minister with a smile.
Lin Qian’s words caused Pri Minister Zhuge Ming to shake his head with amusent, “Indeed, I wonder what kind of character this City Lord of Yuan City is, might he be similar to this guy?”
To this, Lin Qian was also intrigued, “Going to see should answer that!”
As his words fell, he descended the steps of the front hall, heading towards the mansion’s entrance, completely ignoring the arrogant steward of the City Lord Mansion as he passed by.
Zhuge Ming and Xu ng both followed alongside Lin Qian, heading towards the mansion’s entrance.
Regarding Lin Qian’s actions, the steward’s face turned ash gray.
Although he was only a steward, the City Lord was the paramount ruler of Yuan City, akin to the supre Emperor.
Although he was just a steward, from a certain perspective, he was akin to the Pri Minister of the City Lord Mansion—these re Dao Realm individuals dared to disrespect him, it was absolutely suicidal.
“Dare you disregard my presence, how bold!” The steward turned, chastising Lin Qian and his companions who were stepping out.
Lin Qian, hearing the steward’s voice behind him, coldly said, “Kill him, and throw the corpse out.”
Following Lin Qian’s command, replies suddenly echoed from around.
Soon, a robust middle-aged man in a plain robe approached the steward.
anwhile, Lin Qian had already disappeared into the mansion, heading to the street.
The plain-robed man was a Gold-armored Guard of the mansion’s security. They had stored their armor inside their dantian, nurturing it along with their wide-blade sword and heavy shield.
One Gold-armored Guard’s cultivation realm was at a Saint Realm Peak, making the steward of the City Lord Mansion as fragile as a child in comparison.
To deal with him, the Gold-armored Guard didn’t even need to summon his armor, directly confronting him.
“Who are you, don’t you know I’m the steward of the City Lord Mansion…” the steward’s words were cut short as a hand gripped his throat and squeezed forcefully.
Crack!
With the crisp sound of a bone breaking, the steward’s neck snapped, dying with no breath, his soul dissipated.
Afterward, the Gold-armored Guard vividly recalled the emperor’s command—to kill and discard the body.
Hence, without much thought, the Guard hefted the body towards the mansion’s entrance, casually tossing it outside.
On the street outside, many passers-by watched, wide-eyed, as a corpse was thrown from the mansion.
Thud!
The next mont, tossed out, it landed heavily, raising a cloud of dust.
Passers-by stopped and stared at the scene, clearly shocked that soone dared to kill and throw a corpse onto the street.
The mansion’s owner, what kind of boldness must they possess?
“This… this is the steward of the City Lord Mansion!” Soon, a person on the street pointed to the ground, exclaiming.
He had seen the steward before, naturally recognizing his appearance.
But who could have imagined that the steward would end up dead on the street?
“This is no minor matter, we must notify the guards quickly.” Thinking of this, a pedestrian promptly suggested and ran off.
Soon, the city’s guards arrived swiftly at the scene.
Witnessing the steward’s body on the ground, their faces changed dramatically.
The death of the City Lord Mansion’s steward wasn’t a minor issue.
Upon hearing those gathered explain the event, their eyes widened in shock towards the mansion.
The mansion’s owner, what kind of boldness must they possess?
Yet the Guard Captain dared not act rashly.
Because investigation showed the steward entered the mansion willingly, clearly seeking out the owner for sothing.
Being killed and the body discarded likely ant the owner was no pushover.
With the steward’s death, the City Lord’s image tarnished—it seed it wasn’t a re casual nobody.
