"Oh no, you fell for it!"
Actually, the moment Du Feng released the sword light, he realized that the other party definitely wouldn't be here to steal the hare for no reason. If they were only here for the hare, why would they choose to steal it today? Shouldn't they have done it long ago?
Coupled with the two people arranged by Old Xue, this matter was definitely a conspiracy. They probably wanted to lure Chen Lei to make a move and then fight near the city gate. At that time, the city guards could find a reason to arrest him.
The triangular-eyed man didn't expect Chen Lei to have such a bad temper and kill him with a sword. Now that he was already killed, the city guards had even more reason to arrest him. Once they caught Chen Lei, even if he wasn't guilty, he would still lose a layer of skin. Moreover, he was a demonic cultivator. If he was exposed, he would definitely die.
"Help me take care of them!"
After being reminded by Du Feng, Chen Lei also reacted. That's right, Old Xue and the north gate guards must have worked together to arrange this. They probably included Du Feng in their calculations, but he didn't expect himself to be too impulsive and kill him.
Killing outside the Immortal City could be a big or small matter, but if Old Xue and the rest wanted to pursue it, they had to make a big deal out of it. The only thing Chen Lei could do now was to run. Otherwise, if his identity as a demonic cultivator was exposed, he would definitely be dead.
This … Du Feng was speechless, but he had no other choice. It was better for Chen Lei to run now. After all, he had hidden his strength, and the city guards shouldn't be able to catch up.
"Murder, the one with the surname Chen killed someone."
As expected, the rest of the young men began to yell loudly. It was obvious that they were yelling at the guards of the North Gate. Chen Lei was now in a difficult situation. He really wanted to turn around and kill those young martial artists who were yelling. But time waits for no man. If he delayed any longer, he might be caught by the city guards. Hence, he executed his movement technique and left the north gate, returning to the Black Pine Forest.
Not long after Chen Lei ran, a large group of city guards swarmed out from the north gate. Du Feng's eyes lit up. He knew one of the leaders. It was the east gate guard, Old Xue. He should be standing guard at the east gate. What was he doing at the north gate?
"Men, capture this man for me!"
Before Du Feng could figure out the situation, the captain of the North Gate's city defense team had already spoken. Old Xue stood at the side, looking at him with a smile.
"Sir, are you mistaken? My surname is Du, not Chen."
Just now, those people had clearly shouted that Old Chen had killed someone. Furthermore, the person was indeed killed by Chen Lei. Why did they suddenly want to capture Du Feng?
"Then you're also an accomplice of the suspect. Let's bring you back for investigation first."
The captain of the city defense team was not polite at all. He was dead set on bringing Du Feng back. Needless to say, it must have been instigated by Old Xue. Regardless of whether the middle-aged man with triangular eyes was killed by Du Feng or not, the two people sent by Old Xue did not come back. They must have been killed by him.
"What a joke. If I were your accomplice, would I still be here waiting for you to catch me?"
Of course, Du Feng would not be fooled by them. If he was really brought back, he would definitely die. Even if he was not guilty, he would be charged. If he was locked up and beaten up, there would be no place for him to reason.
"Cut the crap. Are you coming with us or not? If you don't cooperate, you'll suffer."
The captain of the city defense team looked at Du Feng's Cultivation Level Three of the Heaven Realm. It was not high, but for some reason, he was calm and collected. He looked calm and collected, as if he didn't care about the guards at all.
"Sir, don't scare me. Seasons City has its laws. Without evidence, you have no reason to arrest me. "
As Du Feng talked to them, he secretly communicated with the ghost servant in the small world of the necklace, telling him to be prepared to turn into Chen Lei. His yelling was very loud, causing some martial artists nearby to come over to watch the show. Once there were more people, it would not be so easy to cheat for favoritism.
"Who said we're going to arrest you? We're just asking you to go back and assist in the investigation."
Old Xue saw that the captain was in a difficult position, so he also came over to speak. He knew that it would be too late if he did not act now. The more people saw, the more difficult it would be. This was a private cooperation between him and the captain. If the other captains found out, it would be troublesome.
"Do you all use this method to invite me?"
Du Feng put his hands behind his back and glanced at the city defense guards who were holding their swords. They all looked ferocious and had no intention of inviting him. It was obvious that they wanted to take him away by force.
"Cut the crap and come with us."
One of the city defense guards looked very ferocious. His eyebrows were raised, and there were a few strands of black hair sticking out of his nostrils. Seeing that Du Feng was cooperating, he simply rushed forward and extended his huge hand to capture him. At this moment, a black shadow flashed by, and the city defense guard's head flew up.
"Old Chen, he's still here."
"Oh no, Old Chen killed again."
The remaining city defense guards had not reacted, but the few young men who were idling around started shouting. That was because their leader had been beheaded by Chen Lei with a single slash. This time, another city defense guard had his head chopped off.
"Capture, capture him."
By the time the captain of the city defense team reacted, the ghost servant disguised as Chen Lei had already run far away.
"Old Chen, don't run. Go back and explain to the officer that it was them who stole your prey first. Trust me, the officer will definitely deal with this fairly. "
Seeing that the fake Chen Lei had escaped, Du Feng didn't forget to shout at him. In the eyes of others, he was trying to persuade Chen Lei to turn himself in, as if he really had nothing to do with this case.
"Sigh, what a pity. Another good man has been framed."
"Yeah, those guys who steal prey are too hateful."
Many of the nearby hunters knew Chen Lei and knew that he usually hunted seriously and didn't cause any trouble. Moreover, some people also knew that the people at the north gate specialized in stealing prey. They were very hateful. Therefore, everyone was talking about it, and the spearhead of public opinion was aimed at the few young men. Even the captain of the north gate's city defense team was criticized for not being fair. If it wasn't for the pressure he exerted, Chen Lei wouldn't have killed and escaped.
If he killed the martial artists who stole the prey, there was still room for redemption. Now that even the officer had been killed, there was no other way but to run. What a pity. Everyone felt pity for Chen Lei. At the same time, they felt that Du Feng was very stupid to actually call him back, saying that the officer would deal with this fairly.
Was Du Feng that stupid? Of course not, but he acted so well that the captain of the city defense team couldn't catch him. Everyone saw that it was Chen Lei who killed, and Du Feng even advised him to turn himself in. No matter how they looked at it, they didn't seem to be accomplices.
