"I'm awake, I'm awake."
This steward was also someone who knew when to yield.
He had lived for so long and had seen all kinds of people. He immediately knew that he had met a straightforward person who was not to be trifled with.
However, he was extremely resentful. He thought to himself, 'I'll teach you a lesson later. I'll pay you back a hundred times for these dozen slaps.'
These people had been by the City Lord's side for many years. They didn't have much ability, but they were experts at scheming, making things difficult for others, and playing dirty tricks behind people's backs.
He thought to himself, 'I'll go along with whatever you say. Once I get through this, I'll teach you a lesson.'
Yang Qingxuan said, "It's good that you're awake. Where's the City Lord?"
Wei Zhen hesitated for a moment, then said, "The City Lord is on official business."
"Slap!"
Yang Qingxuan slapped him again and scolded, "Do you think I don't know that he's on official business? If you continue to answer without answering my question, I'll slap your pig head off with my next slap. "
Wei Zhen covered his swollen face. His eyes were filled with tears, and there was a murderous look in his eyes. However, when he saw Yang Qingxuan raise his hand again, he was so frightened that his expression immediately changed. "He's, he's killing the enemy!"
Yang Qingxuan put down his hand and asked in shock, "What do you mean by killing the enemy?"
Wei Zhen said, "The mutated races have been gathering experts to provoke us. They're showing signs of attacking the city again. The City Lord has gathered a group of experts and used a secret technique to teleport them outside the city. They're preparing to launch a sneak attack on the mutated races and uproot their nest."
This was supposed to be an absolute secret. However, in order to avoid being beaten up, he didn't care about anything else and spilled everything.
"What?!"
Yang Qingxuan was shocked. "City Lord Lu Zhao isn't in the city right now?"
Wei Zhen saw his shock and sneered. "Yes, these mutated races are preparing to attack the city and are accumulating strength. They wouldn't expect us to appear directly behind them."
Yang Qingxuan's expression was extremely ugly. A large amount of information flashed through his mind. It seemed that a huge conspiracy was slowly swallowing up Qingyuan City.
"Could it be that I missed something in the information I found?"
Yang Qingxuan felt a chill run down his spine. According to Emissary Lian's plan, if the Defender Formation was broken, there would still be some resistance from the experts in the city. Although there would be heavy casualties, it was still possible to defend Qingyuan City.
However, if all the powerhouses in the city came out, the city's resistance would be reduced by more than half. Once the Great City Barrier Formation was broken, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Was it a coincidence that Lu Zhao and the others left, or had they fallen into a trap?
If it was a coincidence, the worst result would be the fall of Qingyuan City. However, if they fell into the enemy's trap, their attack might fall right into the enemy's trap. The worst result would not be as simple as the fall of the city, but the entire resistance force of Qingyuan City would be destroyed.
Yang Qingxuan said, "How did they get out? Quickly tell me the whole plan."
Wei Zhen said, "This is a top secret. How would I know so much?"
"Pa!"
Yang Qingxuan gave him another slap and said angrily, "Trash! Are you going to tell me or not? "
"Pa Pa Pa", he slapped a few more times.
Wei Zhen's brain had short-circuited from the slaps. He sobbed, "I really don't know!"
Yang Qingxuan's killing intent surged. He said coldly, "I don't care if you know or not. If you can't tell me, I'll search your soul."
Wei Zhen was scared silly. "I-I don't know what to say!"
Seeing his expression, Yang Qingxuan knew that he really didn't know. "Then who in the city knows?"
Wei Zhen said, "Vice City Lord Mu Lingfei is guarding the city. He should know."
Yang Qingxuan said, "Lead the way, let's go find Mu Lingfei."
Wei Zhen was startled, but he nodded and led the way.
He thought that he would be able to capture Mu Lingfei as soon as he saw him. Then, he would definitely slap his head off.
Yang Qingxuan suddenly asked, "Several days ago, Laurie took my administrator token to confirm my identity. Why didn't he find anything?"
Wei Zhen whimpered, "I-I don't know."
He covered his face in fear, afraid that Yang Qingxuan would slap him again.
Yang Qingxuan said, "Based on your experience, what do you think the situation might be? If I'm satisfied with what you say, then it's fine. Otherwise, I'll cut off your ears. "
With that, he took out a dagger and placed it on Wei Zhen's right ear.
Wei Zhen almost fainted from anger. Why did he have to deal with such a scoundrel?
Just as he was about to explode, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his ear. The dagger was about to slice it open. He said in a panic, "D-Don't cut it, I'll talk, I'll talk."
Although cutting off an ear wasn't a serious injury and could be regrown with some spirit medicine, the humiliation was unbearable.
He immediately said, "The situation is urgent right now, and the entire city is being mobilized. It's possible that something might have been missed. But since Lord Laurie personally went to confirm it, and it's an administrator token from Firmament City, it shouldn't have been missed. I'm guessing that someone suppressed it. "
Yang Qingxuan frowned. "Who suppressed it?"
Wei Zhen thought for a moment. "Vice City Lord Mu Lingfei is in charge of such matters."
… …
Inside a majestic hall.
Dozens of experts were gathered together, reporting the situation in Qingyuan City.
All of a sudden, the space in the hall distorted, and a figure staggered out. After a few steps, he fell to the ground with his face down.
The hall instantly quieted down. They were either frowning or angry, coldly glaring at the newcomer. Soon after, they all revealed stunned expressions.
"This is … Lord Wei Zhen?"
Many people recognized Wei Zhen and looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.
The pupils of the man at the top of the hall suddenly shrank. There was a flash of light in his eyes as he stared at the distorted space. He glanced down and said, "Lord Wei Zhen, why are you here? This is the Grand Council Hall. No one can enter as they please. Even the steward doesn't have the authority. "
Wei Zhen crawled to his feet and wailed, "My lord, help me! Someone wants to kill me and harm my lord! "
He hurriedly ran to Mu Lingfei's side and immediately felt safe. Gnashing his teeth, he stared at the distorted space and said sternly, "Little bastard! It's time for you to die. Come out now! "
"Hehe, it seems I slapped you too lightly. Your mouth wasn't completely broken."
A figure appeared in the void, and Yang Qingxuan slowly walked out.
Wei Zhen was terrified when he saw Yang Kai's harmless appearance. He trembled a few times and hid behind Mu Lingfei.
Mu Lingfei said, "Lord Wei Zhen, don't panic."
Dozens of Divine Senses in the hall locked onto Yang Qingxuan.
"Where did this little thief come from? How dare he break into the Grand Council Hall!"
"He even dared to injure Lord Wei Zhen. He's really reckless."
"Even if he's a disciple of a Sect or an aristocratic family, we can't let him off so easily."
Various voices sounded from all directions.
Yang Qingxuan looked around and found that they were all experts. There were a total of 49 people. Thirteen of them were ten-star Thousand Realms Whirling experts, and the rest were nine-star Thousand Realms Whirling experts.
Mu Lingfei's aura was like a mountain. He was probably a half-step Supremacy.
