The onlookers had long since fled. This was no longer a minor skirmish; one side had a mysterious background and high cultivation, while the other had the backing of the city lord's mansion, command of the city's defense forces, and a high status.
If these two sides start fighting, their presence here will only cause collateral damage.
The goddess Yu Hua struck the old man's brow with her fan, instantly shattering his immortal energy and delivering a fatal blow.
The old man collapsed to the ground with a thud, his eyes bulging and staring wide-eyed, dying with his eyes wide open.
He was merely standing up for his young master and teaching these lawless outsiders a lesson. With his peak Golden Immortal cultivation, he should have been invincible under the law that the highest cultivation level was only Golden Immortal. He never expected that he would lose his life.
The goddess Yu Hua returned to Ruo Ruo's side, waved away the thugs and celestial soldiers around her with her fan, and nervously gripped Ruo Ruo's shoulder to examine her carefully: "Are you alright?"
Ruoruo shook her head slightly: "It's nothing."
She then introduced Yuebai and Rongqing to Yuhua and explained the whole story.
Yu Hua glanced at Rong Qing: "A demon race?"
"Yes." Rong Qing nodded slightly. "Rong Qing of the Snow Leopard Clan greets the Fairy."
Considering the current situation in the demon realm and the immortal realm, Yu Hua did not trust Rong Qing. She simply protected Ruoruo more subtly, keeping her separate from Rong Qing.
"What do you plan to do with them now, Miss?" Yu Hua asked.
"Dispose of?" Before Ruoruo could speak, the young man burst into arrogant laughter. "The city defense troops have arrived. It's not certain who will deal with whom. I advise you to surrender quickly!"
"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Accompanied by the sound of heavy armor hitting the ground, several squads of heavily armored city defense soldiers came out and surrounded the square.
The former city lord rode out on a spirit beast, his magnificent body clad in black armor.
"Who dares to provoke my Yuan City!" The Yuan City Lord shouted with spiritual power. Yu Hua snorted coldly and with a wave of her sleeve, she blocked the oncoming pressure for Ruoruo.
Mo Jinyan, who had been squatting silently in Ruoruo's arms, sized up the city lord: "He was Mingye's former subordinate. When Mingye rebelled, he held back the army, boosted morale, and disrupted Mingye's plans. He made great contributions and was promoted from the original city defense commander to the position of city lord."
"So he's a meritorious official and a good person, then how come his son is so bad?" Ruoruo tilted her head in confusion, looking at the city lord.
At this moment, the disheveled young man, crying and embellishing the story, recounted the events to his father.
The former city lord slapped the young man hard across the face: "You can't even protect your own things, you're a piece of trash."
The young man covered his face and didn't dare to speak.
The city lord, wielding a large sword, pointed it directly at Yuhua: "You stole the treasure first, then killed people. According to the law, you should be executed immediately!"
Ruoruo said angrily, "Since you are the city lord, you can't just listen to him. Is what he said the truth? He clearly wanted to steal my friend's things and even sent people to kill us."
"Nonsense!" The city lord swung his sword down directly, refusing to listen to Ruoruo and the others at all.
Just as Yu Hua was about to make a move, she was entangled by the vines of Kunlun.
If Ruo Ruo bypassed her, several talismans would shoot directly at the city lord, and the city lord's sword strike would be immediately blocked by the talismans.
"You city lord are so unreasonable!" Ruoruo grabbed the Kunlun Sword and punched him directly. "You're just like your son."
She wielded talismans in one hand and the Kunlun sword in the other with unparalleled skill, her Golden Immortal cultivation making no attempt to conceal it.
The city lord was startled by the child's cultivation level. His temples throbbed, and a bad premonition arose in his heart: "Just who are you?"
Ruoruo kicked out the Soul-Destroying Spear: "I'll beat you up!"
This area is subordinate to her fiefdom, and she has the right to punish the city lord.
Mo Jinyan flew out from the hood of Ruoruo's cloak, landed on Ruoruo's shoulder, and chirped.
Phoenix True Fire smeared the city lord's face.
The city lord's expression changed drastically. He stared intently at Mo Jinyan, then glanced at Ruoruo, vaguely guessing their identities. With a thud, he dropped the knife in his hand and was about to kneel on the ground: "Your subject..."
"Shut up!" Ruoruo couldn't let anyone expose her identity, so she picked up the Soul-Destroying Spear and used it like a stick without any strategy, giving the city lord a good beating.
The city lord dared not resist or dodge, and could not even kneel down. He stood there and endured the beating, and had to remove his defenses for fear that the shock might injure the delicate prince.
So, in front of thousands of city garrison soldiers, their city lord was brutally beaten by a little girl who used a broken wooden sword and an ordinary spear as clubs.
"Dad! What are you doing? Kill them! That little monster..."
"Shut up!" Enraged, the city lord slapped the young man across the face. This time, the blow was extremely heavy, and the young man's face instantly swelled up. He fell to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood, along with a tooth.
"What nonsense are you spouting! I've spoiled you too much, which has led you to become like this. Today you actually dare to offend someone important."
The young man stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Even if he was stupid, seeing his father's reaction, he knew he had messed with someone he shouldn't have: "I... I just acted on impulse."
"Alright, stop pretending." Ruoruo angrily stabbed the young man with the tip of her gun, the gun piercing his shoulder.
The young man dared not move, and even forced a smile: "It was my fault for being blind and offending you, sir. If you are still angry, please stab me again! Please don't get angry."
The Soul-Destroying Spear couldn't help but shrink back a little, transforming into a palm-sized spear that actively returned to Ruoruo's sea of consciousness.
Do we really need it to fight this thing? It's an insult to it!
Ruoruo was also disgusted: "When you were swaggering around and threatening to take my life, that's not what you said. Aren't you just bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"
It is truly disgusting that they bully the weak and fawn over the powerful.
Yu Hua put a hand on Ruoruo's shoulder, glanced around at the people around her, and frowned slightly: "Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first. It's not convenient to talk in front of everyone."
The city lord immediately came forward and offered his mount to Ruoruo.
Ruoruo snorted, somewhat disgusted by the seat the city lord had occupied, and took the hand of the goddess Yuhua as they walked inside.
Since the city lord and the others were all walking, he dared not ride, so he had no choice but to lead his mount and follow behind.
The young man, helped up by his subordinates, had a terrifyingly gloomy look in his eyes and glared fiercely at the backs of Yuebai and Rongqing.
What's wrong with these two people? They have such powerful backers, yet they don't know how to talk about it, which has gotten them into trouble.
"Hurry up and go to the manor to make arrangements. An important person is coming. Pack up all the things that need to be packed." The young man was filled with anxiety.
I have a feeling that this matter will be difficult to resolve peacefully.
