"At that time, I hope everyone can cooperate and work together to protect the city lord's safety."

As she spoke, Yun Shui Ning took out a form that contained detailed information about the Awakened Ones who had been invited.

Among these people, only the enthusiastic middle-aged woman and the demon Leng Xi were specially invited by the deputy city lord of Water City, "Yun Gu".

Yun Gu knew the severity of this crisis and understood that everyone would be wary of the demon race, so he specially instructed Yun Shui Ning to treat Leng Xi well.

At this moment, Yun Shui Ning picked up the form and emphasized to everyone again:

"Everyone, please don't underestimate him. Young Master Ao is ranked seventy-fourth on the popularity list."

A hint of worry appeared in her eyes. Anyone who could make it onto the popularity list was exceptionally talented.

Over the years following her father, Yun Shui Ning has learned how to manage the city every day. Through this exposure, she has long known about the existence of the Central Plains Ranking and the terrifying strength of those on the list.

My father once said that you should never underestimate anyone on the Power Ranking. Even if an ordinary Awakener is very strong, they can only rank after 1,000 in Zhongzhou at most, let alone the top 100.

Anyone randomly selected from the list of influential figures possesses extraordinary abilities capable of influencing the elements of heaven and earth, even capable of moving mountains and seas—far beyond the reach of ordinary awakened individuals like themselves.

Therefore, Yun Shui Ning was particularly cautious in the face of the attack from Young Master Ao on the popularity list.

No one knows the true extent of Young Master Ao's strength.

But the mere fact that he ranked seventy-fourth on the list of most influential figures in the city was enough to make the entire city of Shuicheng tremble.

Yun Shui Ning knew that even if all the forces in Shuicheng were combined, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock if they tried to fight against Young Master Ao.

That's why she had to state all her conditions and do everything she could to win over Li Yu and get him to stay and help her father.

In Yun Shui Ning's mind, even if Li Yu was only ranked ninety-fifth on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, he must be a strong person.

Just as Yun Shui Ning was speaking, Li Yu, who was standing next to her, turned her head slightly to look.

On the form in Yun Shui Ning's hand, from top to bottom, was written the information of everyone present.

Along the way, Li Yu has learned a lot from Ma Yuanbai, and now Li Yu can read everyday texts without any problem.

The first thing that caught Li Yu's eye was the title written in front of each person's name, followed by their individual names and strength.

Yun Feng, the strongest awakened being in Water City, has unknown strength.

Seeing the word "unknown" and the title of "strongest in Water City," Li Yu couldn't help but feel curious about Yun Feng's strength.

Let's continue reading.

Yun Feichi, captain of the Water City Guard, is a sixth-level Awakened and specializes in defensive techniques.

Yamazaki Town – Ma Xiaofei, Awakened Level 6, specializes in sneak attacks.

As Li Yu's gaze continued downwards, a name caught his attention.

The Demon Alliance – Leng Xi, strength unknown.

Li Yu looked up slightly and stared intently. Leng Xi was indeed a mixed-blood demon, and even a member of the Demon Alliance.

'Could he be a demon king too? He doesn't seem like it.' Li Yu pondered to himself, as he didn't have a good impression of demon kings.

Unexpectedly, in order to deal with this crisis, Shuicheng even summoned members of the Demon Alliance, whose reputation is not so good.

Li Yu continued reading, and below were the information and introductions of the other people present.

Only in the last column was Li Yu's name written alone; his background and strength were all left blank.

After Yun Shui Ning finished speaking, the atmosphere gradually became quiet.

Those present would occasionally glance at Li Yu not far away, their eyes filled with suspicion.

Everyone could see that Li Yu's arrival was merely to put on a show and intimidate the other side; if a real fight broke out, Li Yu would have nothing to do with it.

Not only did they think so, but most of the awakened beings in Zhongzhou also felt that Li Yu was not as powerful as rumored.

Everyone agreed that Li Yu was merely a pawn in the official deification plan, and the legendary identity created for him was nothing more than an ornament for ignorant refugees.

Anyone with a brain and the ability to think would never believe that a low-level awakened individual could defeat powerful enemies multiple times, and all of them with a single, decisive blow. This is clearly illogical.

Li Yu's ability to make it onto the Central Plains Ranking is solely due to his immense fame, and has little to do with his actual strength.

Meanwhile, Leng Xi quietly watched Li Yu from the side.

He was tall and slender, exuding a cold aura, and his narrow eyes held a hint of disdain.

At this moment, Leng Xi could not feel any pressure from Li Yu, who was a powerful figure. He even felt that Li Yu was as weak as an ordinary awakened person.

The demon Leng Xi withdrew his gaze in disappointment. At his speed, he could kill Li Yu five times in the next second at such close range.

This made Leng Xi wonder in her heart whether the Demon Alliance's Molten Demon King had actually died at Li Yu's hands.

"How could he possibly kill the Molten Demon King in his current state? Maybe someone framed him, or maybe the Molten Demon King had an accident and Li Yu just happened to be nearby."

Leng Xi muttered to herself, her contempt for Li Yu growing even stronger.

Only the slightly overweight middle-aged woman looked at Li Yu with extreme satisfaction in her eyes.

"Young man, you're quite strong," the older woman muttered, trying to chat with Li Yu.

Upon hearing this, the people around looked at the middle-aged woman with disdain.
