"See, I told you there was a problem. It shattered immediately after an inspection."
Zhong Zhenye was really thick-skinned. He was the one who shattered it but he insisted that it was the image crystal's problem. Now that the image crystal was shattered, the evidence was destroyed too. All that was left were witnesses and in terms of witnesses, the Nangong Family had the advantage in numbers.
"You … you …"
Pang Jie wanted to curse but considering the other party's identity and Cultivation, he forcefully swallowed his words.
"Captain Zhong, that's a good move. Do you think the people of Tang Temple City are blind?"
Zuo Xiangming's face sunk and his attitude wasn't good. Did he have to be so obvious in covering up for the Nangong Family?
"Vice-captain Zuo, don't spout nonsense."
Zhong Zhenye emphasized the word 'vice-captain' to tell Zuo Xiangming. 'You're the vice-captain and I'm the captain. Watch your tone.' Now that the evidence had been destroyed, even if the City Lord returned, he wouldn't be able to explain himself. So what if twenty to thirty thousand people saw it? He could just insist that there was a problem. At that time, he could let the Nangong Family spend money to bribe a group of people and say the opposite. He could still turn white into black.
"This, this is too much!"
"Is there still any law?"
The onlookers of Temple Tang City were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They thought that Zhong Zhenye wouldn't dare to cover up for the Nangong Family in front of everyone. What they didn't expect was that not only did he cover up for them, but he also didn't have any qualms about it.
Under the crowd's points, some beast cultivators started to charge forward and the city guards couldn't stop them. However, there were also some beast cultivators who began to retreat stealthily. They were afraid that once a fight broke out, the innocent would be harmed. Zhong Zhenye's methods weren't just ordinarily strong and the beasts were famous for their violent tempers.
"It's just an image crystal. Captains, you don't have to worry about it."
At this moment, Du Feng smiled and threw out a bunch of image crystals. Some landed at Pang Jie's feet while others were thrown to Zuo Xiangming. These things weren't common for beast cultivators but he usually used them and had a lot in stock.
"Chief captain, can you help me identify it? Is there a problem?"
With that said, Du Feng activated an image crystal and played the scene of Nangong Jingwei attacking him. Everyone thought that Pang Jie's people were the only ones who had secretly collected the video. They didn't expect that the master of the Northern Hell had also collected the video. When the video was played, the plot was exactly the same as the last time. The Nangong Nobles first sent a group of people to surround the Northern Hell, then when Du Feng left, the Nangong Jingwei suddenly launched an attack.
The huge video was broadcasted in mid-air, and the residents near and far were all watching. They didn't believe that Zhong Zhenye would dare to destroy the evidence again.
"You!"
Who would have thought that Zhong Zhenye would suddenly make a move and actually grab that image crystal? It could be said that he was thick-skinned to a certain extent, and Du Feng somewhat admired him. This person actually wanted to use his strength to destroy the evidence again. If one wanted to become a formidable character, one had to have such thick skin. No wonder he could become the commander of the city defense of Tang Temple City. He did have some ability.
"Open!"
This time, deputy commander Zuo Xiangming was prepared. The moment Zhong Zhenye made his move, he struck out with his palm. Their palms collided, and the power was canceled out. Zuo Xiangming's Cultivation was higher, and he was prepared. This time, he had a slight advantage.
"How dare you!"
Zhong Zhenye roared, and some changes happened to his body. A circle of porcupine quills or hedgehog quills appeared on his neck, and the skin on his arms turned deep red. His eyeballs were like copper bells, and they even shone with a golden light. As the commander of the city defense, his authority couldn't be challenged. Zuo Xiangming might have an advantage in his human form, but once Zhong Zhenye revealed his true form, he wouldn't be a match.
"Captain Zhong, are you going to start a massacre?"
Zuo Xiangming's words were like a bucket of cold water, cooling Zhong Zhenye's heated mind. Given his temper, he really wanted to shoot out the poisonous quills on his body and kill all the onlookers. But if he did that, he would really alarm the City Lord.
Not to mention the 20,000 to 30,000 onlookers, the city defense guards, especially Pang Jie and Zuo Xiangming, who had official positions, would react if something happened to them. Killing a colleague of the city defense office in broad daylight was not a small crime.
"What are you talking about, Captain Zuo? I'm just warning someone not to try to distort the truth."
The someone Zhong Zhenye was talking about was naturally Du Feng. He said this to warn Du Feng, 'If you find trouble with the Nangong Family first, and then me, do you still want to stay in Tang Temple City?'
"Whether or not I'm distorting the truth, when the City Lord comes back, he will make a decision. There's no need for the commander to worry."
Before Du Feng could speak, Pang Jie spoke for him first. This crab demon cultivator was really kind, thinking of everything for Brother Feng. Among so many friends who had worked with Du Feng, his level of doing things was considered one of the best.
"Well, before the City Lord comes back, this person can't leave."
Zhong Zhenye still did not give up and wanted to detain Du Feng at the city defense office. In this way, he could secretly make a move on Du Feng before the City Lord came back.
"If Captain Zhong wants to detain him, then I will take these people away."
Zuo Xiangming was not polite. If Zhong Zhenye dared to detain Du Feng, he would detain some of the Nangong Family's people. Whatever means you dare to use, I dare to use the same means. If some of the people sent by the Nangong Family's headquarters were killed in Tang Temple City, Zhong Zhenye would not be able to explain to Nangong Linshan.
"Captain Zuo, you are deliberately going against me!"
The long quills on Zhong Zhenye's neck moved, looking like they were about to shoot at any time. His eyes emitted a golden light, dazzling people.
"How dare I, I just want to be fair, Captain Zhong, what do you think?"
Although Zuo Xiangming was not Zhong Zhenye's opponent, he was not too far behind. Moreover, if the two of them really fought, it would alarm many big shots. If the dignified city defense commander and the deputy commander fought, even if the City Lord did not return, some big shots living in Tang Temple City would intervene.
"Hmph!"
