The scene before them was so absurd that everyone felt it was unreal.
However, the three corpses of the city defenders lying on the ground, their eyes wide open in death, were a clear indication that they were not hallucinating and that everything was real.
"My lord, times have changed!" Qiao Suinian sneered. "Now you know how powerful my young master is, right?"
Seeing Qiao Suinian's smug expression, the chiseled man's face was filled with a mixture of shock and anger.
"You dared to kill the garrison of Beihe City! You're dead!"
With a deep shout from the knife-sliced man, countless heads appeared densely packed on the city wall.
These people are all awakened mages and archers. If so many of them release their skills at the same time, it would be enough to blast anyone who tries to cause trouble outside Beihe City into nothingness.
Just as these people were about to make their move, a soft, cold shout suddenly came from not far away.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and realized that the Qian family's carriage, pulled by the Frost Raiders, had returned, and the shout came from inside the carriage.
A middle-aged man with a fair complexion and no beard walked out of the carriage. The man was not tall, and even looked rather frail next to the robust Qian Er.
However, when Qian Er faced this man, he was extremely respectful, keeping his head down and not daring to raise it at all.
"That's... Qian Kunyi, the head butler of the Qian family!"
Someone in the crowd gasped, recognizing the newcomer.
Although Qian Kunyi is just a steward in the Qian family, he is directly responsible to the head of the Qian family. In some ways, Qian Kunyi's status is even more valuable than that of the direct descendants of the Qian family.
Moreover, according to rumors, Qian Kunyi castrated himself when he was young in order to show his determination to be loyal to the Qian family for life.
However, this news has not yet been confirmed, and no one dares to mention such a thing in front of Qian Kunyi.
How could such an important person suddenly return and appear here?
Everyone was somewhat puzzled.
Just then, Qian Kun walked up to the man with the knife.
Snap!
A resounding slap landed on the face of the knife-cut man.
Qian Kunyi's fair face was full of indifference, and he looked at the knife-cut man as if he were looking at a dead man.
The man with the knife-cut face turned red, looking embarrassed, but he dared not make the slightest mistake.
Everyone gasped in shock at the sight.
Is this the power of the Qian family's head steward? He slapped one of the city guards, yet the man dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
"My lord, I'm sorry. I don't know if I did anything to displease you. Please enlighten me!"
The knife-cut man who had been slapped immediately apologized to Qian Kunyi and lowered his head.
After the apocalypse, the existing class gap is gradually widening.
Despite the city guards' haughty demeanor when facing ordinary people, they are no different from ordinary people in front of the Qian family.
"Hmph, you're blind as a bat!"
Qian Kun glanced coldly at the knife-cut man, but didn't explain anything to him. Instead, he walked straight towards Qiao Suinian.
As he walked toward Qiao Suinian, Qian Kunyi's face, which had previously looked like someone owed him millions, instantly blossomed into a radiant smile.
He respectfully cupped his hands in greeting and asked with a smile.
"Young man, may I ask if your young master is Gu Hanyin?"
The scene fell silent for a moment, followed by an uproar!
Gu Hanyin! Young Master Gu!
This name was practically a household name among those who lingered outside Beihai City, unable to enter.
It should be noted that the Gu family is a powerful force in Kyoto City, and compared to the Gu family, the Qian family is practically an ant.
No wonder Qian Kun suddenly became so respectful!
"It must be Young Master Gu Hanyin without a doubt! Look at those skeletons, I remember that Young Master Gu Hanyin was promoted to the legendary Necromancer class! His talent is unparalleled!"
"Hehe, thank goodness! How dare this man with the razor-sharp jaw attack Young Master Gu Hanyin! He's probably dead this time!"
"It's better if he's dead! Who told him to always make things difficult for us! If he's dead, maybe we'll have a chance to get into Beihe City!"
The crowd whispered amongst themselves, their eyes filled with schadenfreude as they looked at the knife-cut man.
The man with the knife-cut face looked as if he had lost three or four of his own fathers.
Family-oriented!
It turns out he really is a family man!
He actually provoked the Gu family, and it was none other than Gu Hanyin, the young master of the Gu family!
The knife-cut man knew very well that he was probably doomed this time, and even nine lives wouldn't be enough to save him.
He collapsed to the ground with a thud, a look of despair on his face.
Qiao Suinian glanced arrogantly at Qian Kunyi, who was smiling broadly, and snorted coldly.
"You do have some discerning eye, being able to recognize my young master!"
"Not at all! You flatter me, young brother. I have always remembered the name of Young Master Gu Hanyin, but I have never had the opportunity to pay my respects."
Qian Kun rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"Don't worry, young man, I will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Kun turned his head coldly and looked at the knife-cut man.
"My lord! My lord, spare my life!"
The previously blank-faced, knife-cut man instantly broke out in a cold sweat the moment Qian Kunyi stared at him, and scrambled to his feet, wanting to beg for mercy.
However, how could Qian Kunyi possibly let him go?
Before the knife-cut man could continue speaking, he suddenly felt an intense itch on his face, an itch that went deep into his bones.
