Just then, a subordinate rushed in, shouting, "It's terrible, Lord Haotian! Powerful people have stormed the mountain! They're all evolved beings, and our men were knocked unconscious without any chance to fight back!"
Everyone in the city lord's mansion was stunned.
Li Haotian was furious upon hearing his subordinate's words.
Before he could react, gunshots rang out from outside the city lord's mansion!
Li Haotian didn't have time to ask who the other person was.
He was no longer as calm and composed as before, and said angrily, "Come with me and see! I want to see who dares to mess with me, Li Haotian!"
As they walked out of the city lord's mansion, they saw a group of people dressed in uniform standing outside, looking at Li Haotian and the others with indifferent eyes.
Upon seeing the clothes these people were wearing, Li Haotian and his men all changed their expressions drastically.
Li Haotian blurted out, "Red Guards!! You're Zi Ling's men! Didn't you publicly declare that you wouldn't bully weaker forces?!"
A white figure suddenly appeared in front of the dozens of Red Guards.
Upon seeing the newcomers, Li Haotian and the others all narrowed their eyes.
Dressed in white, with phoenix eyes, a tall and slender figure, an amazing body, and a beautiful and charming appearance!
She is Zi Ling!
Instead of staying in Radiant City, she actually took action herself!
No wonder all the traps and defenses we painstakingly set up were useless; instead, the enemy quickly stormed into the city lord's mansion!
But why would someone as important as her personally deal with a force of only 3,000 people?
This is unbelievable!
Zi Ling crossed her arms, a mocking glint in her eyes, and said disdainfully, "We won't bully weak forces, but we won't let those who provoke us get away with it. Li Haotian, what are you trying to do by changing your village to God Emperor City? Do you want to become a God Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Li Haotian's men all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Sure enough, karma struck.
When Li Haotian insisted on changing his name, all his subordinates tried to dissuade him.
But he still insisted on changing it, and stubbornly believed that it was just a name, so who could say anything?
In such a dog-eat-dog world, that's incredibly naive!
Li Haotian roared, "If you're determined to find fault, you can always find a pretext! You want to start annexing the forces outside the city! If you dare to do this, the other forces will definitely unite and fight you to the death, and Jin Jizhen's side won't let you off either!"
Zi Ling glanced at Li Haotian's men and said calmly, "We didn't kill anyone here, we just knocked them all unconscious. We don't want to go on a killing spree. Those of you who want to die with Li Haotian, stay. Those who don't want to, go to the side."
Soon, most of Li Haotian's men stood far away.
Only Li Haotian and two women remained.
Both of these women were his women, and they were already deeply bound together.
Seeing this, Li Haotian glared angrily at his former friends who used to drink and eat with him.
One of them said with a wry smile, "Lord Haotian, we've finally made it this far, and all we want is to continue living well."
Zi Ling expressed her satisfaction and smiled, "It has been more than a year since the disaster broke out. Humanity is almost extinct. Those who survived are precious assets. We do not want to kill anyone more. Li Haotian, if you are willing to commit suicide, I can guarantee that all your subordinates will not die."
Li Haotian sneered, suddenly drew a long sword made of an unknown material from his back, and rushed towards those who had betrayed him.
He grinned maliciously, "You dare betray us! Die!"
Zi Ling flashed forward, blocking Li Haotian's path, and delivered a whip kick to Li Haotian's abdomen.
Li Haotian was taken aback and instinctively raised his knife to slash at Zi Ling.
However, Zi Ling, as a level two evolver who had been consuming the meat of high-level evolved beasts for a long time, was faster and much stronger than him, and kicked Li Haotian away in an instant.
That kick kept Li Haotian from getting up for quite a while.
Zi Ling smiled and said, "Your speed is not bad, no wonder you have some confidence."
Li Haotian struggled to his feet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Zi Ling with fear.
Despite having heard many stories about how amazing Zi Ling is.
But I always thought they were only slightly better than me.
But when Li Haotian actually faced her, he discovered that she was terrifyingly strong!
And he didn't even have a chance to fight back!
The difference is just too big!
Li Haotian said in a hoarse voice, "Lady Ziling, I am willing to give up everything in the Divine Emperor City to let me leave. I swear I will never come near this place again."
A hint of mockery flashed in Zi Ling's eyes as she smiled and said, "Since I've made my move and am standing here, it means this place now belongs to Lady Blood Maiden and the master. You have nothing left, so what do you have to offer in exchange?"
Li Haotian was now completely desperate.
He could only look at Zi Ling with grief and indignation.
Zi Ling, however, said leisurely, "It seems you really have no secrets."
After saying that, Zi Ling flashed and appeared next to Li Haotian.
Another kick sent Li Haotian flying more than ten meters.
This time, Li Haotian was completely unable to get up and collapsed on the ground, spitting out blood and foam.
Zi Ling reappeared in front of Li Haotian and stepped down.
With a "crack," Li Haotian's neck snapped completely.
Li Haotian also disappeared without a trace.
Li Haotian's men were all dumbfounded.
That's Li Haotian!
A master who can gain the upper hand even when facing more than a dozen evolved beings!
But Zi Ling killed him as easily as killing a chicken!
No wonder everyone says that Zi Ling is the second strongest person in Radiant City and the surrounding area!
The strongest of them all is naturally the Blood Maiden, Zi Ling's master.
Zi Ling, as if she had done something insignificant, looked at the two women and asked, "Are you really going to be buried with Li Haotian?"
The two beauties exchanged a glance, then knelt down, choking back tears, and said, "Lady Ziling, if we can live, we want to live."
Zi Ling nodded and looked at her other subordinates.
Finally, he appointed a few Red Guards and said calmly, "You few will stay here to manage things and await further arrangements."
The Red Guards felt a pang of bitterness. Why would they stay in this godforsaken place when they could stay in the perfectly good Glorious City?
They dared not object and respectfully replied, "Yes! Lady Ziling!"
Then, Zi Ling looked at Li Haotian's men and warned, "All of you, come with my men to Radiant City, especially the evolved ones. Stay here in Radiant City obediently! If anyone dares to form cliques and fight amongst themselves again, I will let them know what it feels like to be slowly sliced to death."
"Yes, Lady Ziling!"
After dealing with all of this, Zi Ling vanished in a flash.
Establishing authority has been completed.
As the master's first maid, her primary duty was to stay in Radiant City and be ready to serve her master at any time.
Instead of these trivial matters.
