Jianchen and Ming Dong's group of seven rode their Class 3 Magical Beasts through the streets, heading towards the Kai Family at a normal pace. Behind them, Kai Er and the other three were dragging the chained up City Lord Yun Li. Because City Lord Yun Li had been heavily injured by Ming Dong, his body was extremely weak. Adding on the fact that Kai Er and the other three were quite strong, City Lord Yun Li didn't waste any energy trying to break free from the chains. He knew very well that it would be very difficult for him to escape.
Jianchen's group swaggered down the streets with the City Lord Yun Li in tow. Along the way, everyone stopped to look at them. Everyone looked at them with shock and disbelief. No one would have thought that the Flame Mercenaries would actually tie up the City Lord Yun Li like a prisoner.
"The people of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group are conspiring against the Blue Wind Kingdom. They are traitors to the Blue Wind Kingdom, so we can't let them go. Quickly raise your weapons and kill all of them. In the future, you will all be heroes of the Blue Wind Kingdom." Although City Lord Yun Li was tied up, he could still speak. He was using his words to accuse Jianchen's group of crimes, trying to use the surrounding people to cause trouble for Jianchen's group.
Hearing this, the gazes of the surrounding people towards the Flame Mercenaries immediately changed. Soon after, they began to discuss in low voices. However, they weren't idiots. They wouldn't conclude that Jianchen's group were all traitors just based on City Lord Yun Li's words. Adding on the fact that the Flame Mercenaries were a huge deterrent in Wake City, no one dared to go up and stop Jianchen's group.
Jianchen looked at City Lord Yun Li with disdain and said, "City Lord Yun Li, two years ago, I, Jianchen, had some respect for you. I thought you were a straightforward and upright person. But I didn't expect you to hide so deeply. Your heart is actually so despicable. After being exposed for stealing my Flame Mercenaries' Class 5 Magical Beast and killing my High Elder, you actually want to accuse me of crimes. I really misjudged you. Kai Er, gag his mouth."
"Jianchen, you're too arrogant. I am an official of the Blue Wind Kingdom. Treating me like this is challenging the authority of the Blue Wind Kingdom. In the future, there will be no place for you in the Blue Wind Kingdom …" City Lord Yun Li's mouth was gagged.
Hearing Jianchen's words, the people on the streets came to a sudden realization.
"I've long since heard that the Raging Flame Mercenaries obtained the infant of a Class 5 Magical Beast. Later on, it was stolen by a mysterious person at night and one of their leaders was killed. I didn't think that it would be City Lord Yun Li."
"Look, isn't that the cub in the cage a Class 5 Magical Beast cub? So it was City Lord Yun Li who stole it."
"Back then, the Flame Mercenaries caused a huge uproar while searching for the person who stole the Class 5 Magical Beast. It's just that they didn't find a single clue after all that hard work. So that person was actually City Lord Yun Li. No wonder he hid himself so deeply and didn't leave behind any clues."
"Hmph, this is most likely a bunch of nonsense from the Flame Mercenaries. The truth of the matter is worth investigating."
The people on the streets discussed spiritedly, each with their own opinions. Some believed that Jianchen was telling the truth and that the person who stole the Class 5 Magical Beast cub and killed one of the founding members of the Flame Mercenaries was City Lord Yun Li. Others believed that Jianchen was just finding a reasonable excuse to frame City Lord Yun Li. But no matter what, no one dared to stop the group because the news of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries disbanding had already spread throughout Wake City. With the disappearance of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries, the Flame Mercenaries had once again become the strongest power in Wake City. No one dared to provoke them.
Moreover, on the Tian Yuan Continent, strength was everything. Strength represented everything. There was no reason to speak of. Reason only existed when both sides were similar in strength.
By the time Jianchen and the others had brought City Lord Yun Li back to the Kai Clan, the news of his capture had already spread like wildfire throughout Wake City. There was no one who didn't know about it. To everyone, this news was no different from a heavy bomb, causing everyone to feel incomparably shocked.
Although City Lord Yun Li was only a small city lord of a third grade city, he was still an official of the Blue Wind Kingdom. If the Flame Mercenaries were to capture City Lord Yun Li with such fanfare, it would be tantamount to challenging the authority of the Blue Wind Kingdom and making an enemy out of the entire kingdom. The Blue Wind Kingdom would definitely not stand idly by in order to protect their dignity and dignity.
Within the Kai Clan's courtyard, City Lord Yun Li was kneeling on the ground, tied to a pillar. In front of him was a memorial tablet with the word 'Duo Kang' written on it. Outside the Kai Clan's gate, burly men constantly walked in and out. The members of the Flame Mercenaries who were out shopping had all received the news and immediately returned to the Kai Clan. When they found out that City Lord Yun Li was the one who had stolen the Type 5 Cub and killed Duo Kang, their eyes were filled with anger.
At this time, a series of footsteps could be heard from outside. Following that, a guard hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Leader, there is a large number of city guards rushing over here. There are a lot of them."
Jianchen didn't care and waved his hand, saying, "It's fine, don't worry about them. Open the gate!"
The Kai Clan's gate was wide open. Through the gate, one could clearly see groups of armored soldiers shuttling back and forth. There were at least a thousand of them.
After a while, the sound of footsteps finally quieted down. Everyone knew in their hearts that the entire Kai Clan's courtyard was now surrounded by the city guards.
At this time, a general came in with a group of soldiers. It was Commander Duo Li.
Commander Duo Li glanced at City Lord Yun Li who was tied to the pillar with an ugly expression before turning to Jianchen. He said with a heavy voice, "Jianchen, what is the meaning of this? Why are you treating the city lord like this?"
Jianchen said emotionlessly, "City Lord Yun Li stole the cub of a Class 5 Magical Beast that belonged to my Flame Mercenaries and even killed the founding member of the Flame Mercenaries, Duo Kang. His crimes are unforgivable."
City Lord Yun Li spat out the cotton in his mouth and loudly said in a righteous manner, "Duo Li, don't listen to Jianchen's nonsense. The Flame Mercenaries have ill intentions and want to rebel. If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always accuse them. They are trying to frame me on purpose." Seeing how serious City Lord Yun Li was, people who didn't know the situation really would be fooled by him.
"You still dare to quibble!" Kyle coldly snorted and kicked City Lord Yun Li.
Commander Duo Li paused for a moment and said, "Jianchen, when my Wake City was facing the Magical Beast Wave, you made a great contribution to protect the city. I, Duo Li, have always admired you. However, City Lord Yun Li is the city lord of Wake City. No matter what, you can't treat him like this. Let him go first. As for whether or not City Lord Yun Li killed anyone from your Flame Mercenaries, I will report it to my superiors and they will uphold justice for you."
Jianchen lightly shook his head and said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. I, Jianchen, have no enmity with City Lord Yun Li. Why would I frame him? Even if I did have enmity with him, I, Jianchen, would never do such a despicable thing. I have already made a decision in my heart. As for who the murderer is, there's no doubt about it. City Lord Yun Li, my Flame Mercenaries will deal with him."
Commander Duo Li's expression slightly changed. He cupped his hands towards Jianchen and said, "Jianchen, although I, Duo Li, respect you, but City Lord Yun Li absolutely cannot be humiliated like this. Since you insist on doing this, then I, Duo Li, will have no choice but to offend you. My apologies!" After saying that, Duo Li waved his hand and shouted, "Everyone, charge! Save the City Lord!"
With Duo Li's order, a large number of soldiers charged in from outside. At the same time, a large number of soldiers leapt over the walls of the Kai clan as well. They charged towards Jianchen's group like a flood. There were many of them.
Ming Dong laughed aloud as a faint azure sword appeared in his hand. He said, "Come on, I'll let you experience the power of an Earth Tier Battle Skill, Whirlwind!"
Surging wind-attributed Saint Force surged out of Ming Dong's body and quickly turned into a tornado that wreaked havoc in the surroundings. It pierced through the sky and caused the clouds in the sky to surge violently. The thick layer of clouds actually began to rapidly disperse.
A violent gale suddenly swept through the courtyard of the Kai clan. The walls in the surroundings only lasted for a few seconds before collapsing. The large number of soldiers who charged towards Jianchen's group were thrown off balance by the tornado. They were unable to maintain their balance and could fall to the ground at any time. However, Jianchen's group who were in the eye of the tornado were not affected at all.
Seeing the terrifying tornado, commander Duo Li's expression drastically changed. He trembled as he said, "I- Earth Tier Battle Skill … I- this power … I- you're an Earth Saint Master!"
Ming Dong roared out and suddenly swung his sword. The tornado in the surroundings rapidly expanded and the violent wind actually swept a large number of soldiers into the air. They were unable to control their bodies at all.
Seeing this, commander Duo Li's face paled in fright. This was the first time he had seen the power of an Earth Tier Battle Skill. Commander Duo Li used all his strength to stabilize his body as he constantly retreated. At the same time, he loudly ordered, "Everyone retreat! Everyone retreat!"
Looking at the dozens of soldiers who had been sucked into the tornado, those soldiers who were moving slowly all stopped without waiting for Commander Duo Li's order. They all retreated back as if they were fleeing for their lives. Their eyes were filled with fear. If they were sucked into the tornado and fell from a height of 100 meters, they would definitely die and their bones would be smashed into pieces.
