After being revived by a healing-type awakener, Leng Xi only needed a short rest before she was able to stand up again thanks to her powerful physical regeneration abilities.
The awakened ones around them dared not step forward to help because Leng Xi had offended Li Yu before, fearing that Li Yu would also consider them Leng Xi's accomplices and subject them to the same terrifying torture and retaliation as Young Master Ao.
At this moment, Leng Xi followed slowly behind, her previous arrogance and confidence completely gone.
Others may not know how hard Young Master Ao's fists are, but he knows it all too well.
Just now, Young Master Ao's full-force punch only shattered Li Yu's clothes, and Li Yu put on another one without any injury.
"Too strong!" Leng Xi thought to herself as she watched Li Yu from afar.
After witnessing Li Yu and Young Master Ao's battle firsthand, his understanding of the strength of Awakened Ones was completely overturned.
It turns out that the true powerhouses on the Central Plains Ranking are incredibly formidable in battle, far beyond his reach.
That immense power and ruthless methods finally made Leng Xi, who had always considered herself a genius, realize her own worth, and she no longer had any blind arrogance.
Seeing that Li Yu didn't seem to care about Leng Xi, Yun Ming and his group continued walking towards the city gate.
Arriving at the city gate, Yunming turned back to look at the waters that had been completely dyed red, his mind filled with countless thoughts:
'Now, Young Master Ao has been transformed into a strange beast and is controlled by Li Yu.'
"Since the illusory image of the Heavenly Dragon appeared earlier, no one was held responsible, so his position as city lord is safe."
But Yunming looked at Li Yu with some worry. He knew that Li Yu had killed so many law enforcement officers, so it was clear that he couldn't stay in Shuicheng any longer.
Even if he doesn't report it, someone will spread the word.
With so many witnesses, Li Yu's path ahead may not be easy.
Yunming sighed helplessly. He was barely able to protect himself, so how could he possibly take in Li Yu?
Moreover, he was very clear in his heart that although he had some strength, he was far inferior to Young Master Ao.
Although Yunming didn't want to admit it, he knew that the female tyrant must have played a significant role behind the scenes in enabling him to maintain his position as the city lord of Water City.
Perhaps it's because there's still some affection between them, or perhaps it's for the sake of their daughter Yun Shui Ning, but in any case, he at least has someone helping him behind the scenes, and the crises he'll face in the future are much smaller than Li Yu's.
"The Central Plains Law Enforcement Team, and the Central Plains Heroes..." Yun Ming murmured to himself, assessing the influence of the two.
He knew the news would definitely make the newspapers again, but he didn't know if public opinion would be in Li Yu's favor.
As the city lord of Water City, Yunming only controls a small water city and has limited power.
But through this identity, he also learned a great deal about the inner workings of Zhongzhou.
The situation in Zhongzhou was extremely complex; he had seen a complete map of Zhongzhou.
The map shows twelve different regions divided by twelve colors, which are the twelve famous cities of Zhongzhou.
These large cities have almost completely monopolized everything in their respective territories, deliberately isolating themselves from one another and keeping them completely isolated from each other.
This situation is so dire that it's almost causing the Central Plains to split into twelve separate regions.
While the Central State government occupied the most prosperous city of Jincheng and controlled the core power of the Central State, it also keenly sensed that the various forces under its rule were gradually forming a trend of regional autonomy.
In order to strengthen unified management, Zhongzhou proposed the Thirteenth New City plan during this year's championship, bringing back that uninhabited ghost town.
As expected, once the plan was proposed, countless forces in the twelve cities immediately became restless, each one ambitious and scheming to win the championship and become the new city lord of the thirteenth city, thereby gaining a more advantageous position in the power structure of the Central State.
However, Yunming was also very clear that the Central Continent government was not strengthening its management because it was afraid of autonomy.
Jin Cheng was not afraid of any discontent in the twelve cities, nor was he worried that they would refuse official orders.
Because the Central Plains government had already demonstrated its swift and decisive methods many years ago.
When Jincheng was once faced with the joint demand for autonomy from the previous generation of twelve city lords, the Central Continent government directly dispatched the "Ten Directions Golden Spear - Golden Sky Sword Immortal," ranked second on the Wind and Cloud Ranking.
With a casual swing of his sword, the sword immortal transformed the thousands of raindrops into sharp sword energy.
The twelve city lords of the previous generation, united as one, were no match for him; they all died instantly under his sword energy.
With the invincible Golden Sky Sword Immortal residing in Golden City, there were no more rebellions in Central State.
That year, the rankings on the leaderboard underwent a dramatic change, and the forces related to the city lords of the twelve cities were also completely reshuffled.
Now, under the strong leadership of the Central Plains government, no one dares to easily mention the matter of the Great City's autonomy anymore.
Snapping out of his reverie, Yunming had unknowingly arrived at the city gate.
He nodded slightly to his trusted confidants who had been arranged in advance at the city gate.
Before long, his confidant brought in two large boxes that were tightly wrapped in transparent waterproof cloth, as if they had been prepared in advance.
Yun Ming then returned to Li Yu with his trusted confidants, and respectfully bowed slightly, saying:
"Commander Li Yu, I've come to keep my promise."
Li Yu nodded slightly in polite response: "Then thank you very much, City Lord Yun."
Yunming waved his hand, and his trusted confidants immediately moved the box in front of Li Yu, then opened it halfway.
Inside the box were 500,000 Zhongzhou coins, plus some additional enhancement resources given by Yunming, and 30 exotic beast crystal cores.
