In just half a day, the caravan had arrived at the city gate of Zili Kingdom.
Xiao Feng looked at the guards at the gate of Zi Li Kingdom and breathed a sigh of relief: "We've finally arrived."
The other Qingzong disciples looked at the guards ahead and laughed as well: "After so long, we've finally arrived."
The people inside the county government office realized that no one was paying attention to them, so they all rushed inside, as if trying to escape their clutches.
However, as soon as they ran out, the Qingzong disciples around them beat them back and made them stay inside obediently.
Xiao Feng glanced at the constables who were trying to walk inside, his face cold as he said, "If you leave the group now, I have the right to kill you."
To convince them of his words, he glanced around and said, "Everyone, listen up! If anyone leaves the ranks, kill them on the spot."
The disciples of the Qing Sect unleashed their spiritual power, forcefully pinning the constables inside.
Xiao Feng watched as all the yamen runners quieted down, then led them to the city gate.
Before he could say anything, the magistrate's voice came from behind: "Help! We've been kidnapped by them!"
Upon hearing that someone was being kidnapped, the guards at the gate of Zili Kingdom raised their weapons and surrounded Xiao Feng and his group.
Xiao Feng looked at them indifferently, and was about to take out their tokens.
To everyone's surprise, the magistrate actually took out his identification plaque and placed it in front of the guards: "Look, I am from the Xiao family. They arrested us and brought us back."
Upon seeing the Xiao family's token in their hands, the guards all turned their attention to Xiao Feng: "Take them down."
The guards of Zi Li Kingdom walked up to Xiao Feng, as if they wanted to take them down.
Seeing their determination to capture him, Xiao Feng sneered, took out their tokens, and tossed them into the hands of the Zi Li Kingdom guards: "Bring your general here."
The guards at the gate alone couldn't receive them, since Qingzong had come specifically to help them with their affairs.
The magistrate originally thought that the guards of Zili Kingdom would arrest the person immediately, but no one expected that the guards of Zili Kingdom would not react at all.
He walked up to the guards of Zi Li Kingdom, his face full of anger: "What are you doing? Why haven't you arrested anyone yet?"
The guard glanced at the magistrate and hurriedly came to Xiao Feng: "We will find our city garrison commander to come out and receive you immediately. Please wait here for a while."
The magistrate looked at the guards with a surprised expression, having no idea what kind of token Xiao Feng had given them.
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a silver-armored general emerged from the city and walked up to Xiao Feng with a loud laugh: "Haha, I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner."
Xiao Feng nodded slightly and pointed to the people behind him: "These are the disciples that the Qing Sect has arranged to come this time. You can meet them."
The city's general glanced at them and nodded slightly as a greeting.
The magistrate had assumed the guards would capture Xiao Feng, but to everyone's surprise, the guards didn't.
The magistrate walked up to the guards he knew, his face full of surprise: "Who exactly are they? Why are you being so polite to them?"
When the guard heard him ask him, he replied indifferently, "They are all from the Azure Sect, and are considered the most honored guests of our Purple Desolation Kingdom."
With just one sentence, the magistrate understood that it was impossible for them to arrest people from Zili Kingdom.
At this moment, the general guarding the city glanced at Xiao Feng and said, "Let me tell you about the recent situation in our city as we walk."
With so many people suddenly appearing at the city gate, the people inside the city wondered what had happened.
Xiao Feng called out to those around him, "Release them, and come with me."
Hearing Xiao Feng tell them to release the constables, those around him couldn't help but glare at them: "Consider yourselves lucky this time, otherwise I would definitely have killed you."
They followed Xiao Feng into the city and approached the city's garrison commander, wanting to hear what was happening inside.
The city guard looked at Xiao Feng with a puzzled expression, as if asking if he could explain the situation.
Since the people around him were Xiao Feng's most capable men, he felt that what he heard was no big deal.
In any case, the information will eventually reach the other members of the Qingzong sect anyway, so there's no problem with them saying it now.
Seeing that Xiao Feng had no objections, the city guard took a deep breath and said, "The monsters usually appear at midnight, and we can't catch them every time we try."
Xiao Feng learned that the monsters appeared only at night, so there was no way to capture them now.
The city guard, seeing the look in Xiao Feng's eyes, understood that there was no way to capture the monster now, and said with an embarrassed expression, "Let's talk about the monster later tonight."
Before he could say anything, the city garrison commander spoke again: "By the way, what's the story with the county magistrate you just brought back? Their identities... are quite unusual."
Xiao Feng exchanged glances with those around him, then looked at the city guards with a serious expression: "I hope you can detain them temporarily. They are not good people."
The reason I keep them by my side is that I don't want them to have the opportunity to prey on the people.
If we let them go, I believe they will immediately release people into the county town and cause all sorts of trouble.
Suddenly, Xiao Feng seemed to realize something and glanced at the city guard: "The people you sent to Qingzong to meet us died at their hands."
With just a few words, the city's garnered a lot of anger.
Just then, the county magistrate was being led by several people as they passed by.
Xiao Feng saw the county magistrate come to their side and said to the city guards, "Please detain them immediately to relieve the people's worries."
Upon hearing that Xiao Feng wanted to imprison him, the magistrate hurriedly said to the general, "I am a member of the Xiao family of Zi Li Kingdom. What right do you have to detain me? Let the Xiao family come and pick me up."
When the city guard heard the name of the Xiao family, his eyes clearly showed some panic, indicating that he was unwilling to be their enemy.
Seeing the uneasy look in the eyes of the city guards, someone leaned closer to Xiao Feng and whispered, "It seems the Xiao family he mentioned must have some influence."
Xiao Feng nodded slightly, looking at the city guard with curiosity: "I wonder what kind of family this Xiao family he mentioned is?"
The garrison commander, unwilling for the county magistrate to overhear their conversation, waved to the men in his hand, ordering them to bring the people to the front.
Xiao Feng watched the magistrate's arrogant demeanor from afar and felt very uncomfortable, wanting to see how the city's garrison commander would explain himself.
He sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you imprison them, but that I dare not imprison them."
