However, before this person's front foot could land, a figure flashed to his side. Then, a fist shot out, and like that guard, he was also sent flying.
"Zhang Lie, get out here!"
Ye Xuan roared at the sky. His voice reverberated throughout the city. Almost half of the people in the city could hear him.
At that moment, the surrounding people were wondering who Zhang Lie was.
However, in the next moment, they came to their senses.
Zhang Lie was the governor of the City of Gold.
Who was so bold to challenge the governor of the City of Gold?
In an instant, many people gathered around, only to see a young man standing outside the City Lord's Mansion.
Was that him?
"Eh, isn't that young man the son-in-law of the Xue Family?"
Someone recognized Ye Xuan.
"I see. The Xue Family was found to have betrayed the country a few days ago. He must be here to save them!"
"But, betraying the country is a serious crime. They will be beheaded. Can he save them?"
"That might not be the case. He is the disciple of the Deputy Sect Leader of the Shattered Cloud Sect. The Shattered Cloud Sect is a large sect. I heard that the Sect Leader is a super powerful individual."
Although there were many ordinary people in the crowd, there was no lack of well-informed people.
Soon, more and more people gathered.
Following that, many powerful individuals rushed out of the mansion. There were guards and consecrators that Zhang Lie had recruited.
"Brat, how dare you call the governor by his name in front of the mansion?"
A burly man walked out, surrounded by many powerful individuals.
He had just appeared and someone recognized him.
"It's Cao Ba, the Chief of Guards of the Mansion!"
"I heard that he is a consecrator that the governor has just recruited. He used to be a teacher of the Shattered Sky Sect. His strength is not to be underestimated."
When the burly man walked out, the crowd could not help but take a step back. This was because Cao Ba was extremely cruel. He had already killed a few people this month. Furthermore, they were all innocent people.
Therefore, his ferocious name had spread throughout the Million Gold City.
After Cao Ba walked out, he looked around and his attention landed on Ye Xuan. "You are the one who is shouting?"
Ye Xuan looked at him and felt the violent aura from him. He did not expect Zhang Lie to have recruited a martial artist in the Ninth Rank of the Martial Path. His luck was not bad.
"That's right!"
Ye Xuan nodded.
"How dare you! You are courting death!"
Cao Ba was also an impatient person. If there was a disagreement, he would immediately attack. He took a step forward and extended his hand to slap Ye Xuan's face. If his bear-like hand were to slap an ordinary person's face, it would definitely be able to send their head flying.

...
Before some people could close their eyes, a crisp sound rang out. At the same time, a group of people cried out in alarm.
However, what they expected did not happen. Ye Xuan was still standing at the same spot. Cao Ba was no longer there.
"Where is Cao Ba?"
"I think he flew into the Castellan Manor."
"How is that possible?"
The group of people could not believe it. Those who did not close their eyes did not see Ye Xuan's attack. They also did not see Cao Ba fly out. Only a few martial artists saw an afterimage.
Ye Xuan did not care about Cao Ba at all. After sending him flying with a punch, Ye Xuan shouted again, "Zhang Lie, come out!"
"Who is looking for me?"
Before Ye Xuan finished his words, a person walked out of the Castellan Manor. It was Zhang Lie, who had met Ye Xuan once before.
"It's you?"
Zhang Lie exclaimed when he saw Ye Xuan. This was because Ye Xuan was the murderer of his son.
"That's right. It's me!" Ye Xuan nodded.
At the same time, he noticed that Zhang Lie's body was trembling when he saw him. It was obvious that Zhang Lie was flustered and exasperated. He could attack at any time.
However, he knew Ye Xuan's identity.
He was the disciple of the Shattering Cloud Sect's Vice Sect Leader!
He could not act recklessly!
"Ye Xuan, you are the murderer of my son. How dare you appear in front of me today?" Zhang Lie said with an ashen face.
What?
When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked.
The Young City Lord of Thousand Gold City was killed?
Moreover, it was the son-in-law of the Xue Family?
Now, the surrounding crowd finally understood why Zhang Lie captured Xue Hai. So this was the reason.
Revenge!
He was using his power to take revenge!
"City Lord Zhang, how dare you! You covet the Xue Family's property and accuse them of betraying the country. How dare you!"
Ye Xuan looked at Zhang Lie with a cold expression.
"You're lying!" Zhang Lie was exposed by Ye Xuan and immediately shouted.
"Whether I'm lying or not depends on the evidence. However, I only know that you captured my father-in-law and his family." Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and said.
"The Xue Family betrayed the country. The evidence is conclusive." Zhang Lie replied.
"I said that I only know that you captured my father-in-law and his family. Regardless of whether you have evidence or not, I hope that you can let them go." Although Ye Xuan used the word 'hope', his attitude was very firm. If he did not let them go, he would not let the matter rest.
Zhang Lie was a City Lord after all, yet Ye Xuan was actually acting so arrogantly in front of him. This was simply provoking his authority. He immediately shouted angrily, "What big words. You're just a commoner, how dare you order me around?"
"Hehe, I'm just saying 'hope'. However, if the City Lord does not let them go, I have other ways to make the City Lord release them." Ye Xuan said with a smile.
"Hmph, you think you have the right to make me release them?" Zhang Lie did not care. Although Ye Xuan's identity was not ordinary, he was in the territory of the Profound Sun Empire. Furthermore, he was an official of the Profound Sun Empire. Although his position was not high, it was still an official. Why would he be afraid of Ye Xuan?
"I'm just a commoner. Of course, I don't have the ability to make the City Lord release them. However, the Patrol Inspector of the South Forest Region, Ouyang Ming, should have the power to do so?"
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he suddenly took out a token. It was the token that Ouyang Ming gave him that day.
"Patrol Inspector?"
Hearing this, Zhang Lie could not help but tremble. He saw the word 'Ouyang' written on the token in Ye Xuan's hand!
The status of a Patrol Inspector was comparable to that of a Duke.
"Impossible. How do you know Ouyang Ming?" Zhang Lie could not believe it.
"Hmph."
Ye Xuan snorted and threw the token in his hand over. Zhang Lie caught it and looked at it. His face instantly turned green.
The material of the token was very special. It was the material of the Profound Sun Empire's royal family. It was not something that ordinary people could get their hands on.
"Impossible. How does Ye Xuan know the Patrol Inspector? This is impossible!"
