The City Lord's Mansion's orders were one thing, the various captains' orders were another, and how the enforcers carried out the orders was another. Because of the merman kidnapping a human girl, the entire Ocean City was in motion. It looked calm on the outside, but the inside was already turbulent.
Du Feng was completely unaware of it. He was immersed in the atmosphere of forging. After one round after another, he was completely immersed. This kind of immersion was like entering a meditative state, and he didn't care about the outside world. He was really bold. It was actually very dangerous in this state. If someone sneak attacked him now, he definitely wouldn't be able to react immediately. He would probably only wake up after taking the first hit. But if it was a headshot or a pierced dantian, it would be no different from death.
Of course, the blacksmith wouldn't sneak attack him. Instead, he strengthened the blacksmith shop's formation and didn't allow anyone to enter. He was a forger himself and liked this kind of atmosphere.
"Ding ding ding … Dang dang dang …"
Du Feng's rhythm was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, as if he was playing a musical instrument. But this sound only echoed in the blacksmith shop and didn't spread outside. All the information in the blacksmith shop was sealed, and not a single bit of it could be transmitted outside.
He kept one after finishing and immediately started forging the next one. Not only did he forget about time, but he also forgot about exhaustion. As expected, hard work paid off, and he forged a high-grade God Emperor weapon.
Time passed quickly, and it was already late at night. Du Feng didn't have any intention of stopping, and the blacksmith didn't have any intention of resting either. After the third watch, the curfew began to be enforced. No one walked outside, only the blacksmith shop was still in full swing.
The next morning, a few more enforcers from the fifth team came over. This time, their captain was among them.
"Captain, this is the only place left."
It turned out that the two members from yesterday couldn't report back, and in the end, the captain forced them to confess. They hadn't checked the blacksmith shop yet, and it was very likely that Du Feng was inside.
"What are you waiting for? Go in and search."
As expected, the fifth captain immediately ordered them to search.
"This … I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. Look at the sign on the door."
The team members weren't stupid. How could they just barge in like that? If they offended the Fu Family, they would be the unlucky ones. Since you're the leader, why don't you lead the charge?
"Idiot, this Du Feng is a wanted criminal. No matter where he is, you have to catch him."
Team Leader Five had already taken their money. It would be hard for him to explain if he didn't take action. He was about to bite the bullet and barge in when he heard someone else coming.
"That can't be right, Captain Five. You're only looking for Du Feng to assist in the investigation. He's not a wanted criminal. The arrest warrant has to be signed by the City Lord's Mansion for it to count. "
Sure enough, Captain Eight also came with his men. He was right. The captain had the right to ask others to go back and cooperate with the investigation. In fact, it was tantamount to temporary control of personal freedom. However, only the City Lord or the Deputy City Lord could issue arrest warrants.
"Yo, why is Captain Eight here? Are you running errands for the Yuchi family?"
Team Leader Five and Team Leader Eight were obviously not on good terms. Whenever they saw him, they would look impatient.
"Hehe, same here. Aren't you also running errands for me?"
Team Leader Eight was not so easy to talk to. He was helping Yuchi Jinhai. To put it bluntly, he was running errands for the Yuchi family. Yuchi Jinhai alone did not have such a big face, but the Yuchi family did. He was just a captain. If he wanted to stand firm in Sea City, of course, he had to rely on his family.
Team Leader Five's situation was the same. Not only did he help the innkeeper, but he was also running errands for the Helian family. To put it bluntly, they wanted to frame Du Feng through this matter and cause trouble for the Yuchi family at the same time. The only thing they were unhappy about was that Du Feng had not yet become a guest official under Yuchi Jinhai's name. Otherwise, they could take the opportunity to ruthlessly slander them.
"Why, are you also here to arrest Du Feng?"
Old Hutong was not under the jurisdiction of any law enforcement team because it did not matter whether it was Team Five or Team Eight. Anyone could find him.
"Not arrest, but invite. I want to find him to understand some things."
Team Eight's words were much nicer than Team Five's because he was on Yuchi Jinhai's side. The law enforcement captain had the right to bring people back to understand the situation. Team Five had the right, so did Team Eight. If he was brought back by Team Five, he would definitely be framed. However, if he went back with Team Eight, he would definitely help clear Du Feng's name. The result would be completely different.
"Tsk, you say invite? Don't forget that I came first."
Of course, Team Five couldn't let Team Eight take the person away. If he took the person away, then his mission would not be completed, and it would be hard to explain to the guest station and the Helian family.
"That depends on who the person is willing to go with. The rules of Sea City do not say that whoever wants to go can go with them."
Team Eight was very familiar with the rules of Sea City. It should be said that none of these law enforcement captains were unfamiliar with the rules of Sea City. In fact, taking the person back to understand the situation was not a hard rule. It was just that when it was later implemented, it was used in a hard way.
According to the rules, when multiple captains wanted to understand the situation, they only needed to go with one of the captains. The person could choose who to go with himself.
"Okay, then let's see who is faster."
Team Five still didn't intend to give up. He knew that if he let Du Feng choose, he would, of course, go with Team Eight. Therefore, he wanted to wait for Du Feng to come out of the blacksmith shop, directly capture him, and then forcibly take him away.
"I advise you not to bother, Du Feng is not someone you can catch."
Team Eight's Captain Chi Jinhai had introduced Du Feng. This person was extremely strong, and his level far exceeded that of cultivators of the same level. He also said a very simple data, that even five of him couldn't beat Du Feng. With such strength, Team Five and the two people he brought definitely couldn't control him, not to mention that there were also people from their team.
The two of them kept arguing here, but in fact, they were still busy. After forging for a day and a night, they still hadn't finished the hundred Blood Breaking Flying Swords. Therefore, during the day, they continued to stay in the blacksmith shop. Interestingly, the blacksmith shop's closed sign was not removed. As a result, Team Five and Team Eight stood in front of the blacksmith shop for a day in vain.
"Team Eight, it's already dark, why aren't you leaving? Don't you have to patrol today?"
Team Five was a little anxious when he saw that Team Eight still hadn't left. If Du Feng still didn't come out at midnight, he could only wait until tomorrow.
"Yes, it's already dark. Team Five, don't you have to patrol today? The safety of the residents of Sea City depends on you."
