…
They arrived at Yellow Leaf City. It was a small city made up of many small towns. Between the towns were large swamps, lakes, reeds, paddy fields …
As they arrived at the entrance of the city, Zhu Minglang and the others noticed that every entrance and wall was guarded by guards. The people inside were not allowed to leave as they pleased.
They must have learned that the Lizard Demons were roaming around the area and eating humans.
"Why don't you trust me when you let me in? I've never done anything to hurt anyone," a man in ragged clothes pleaded at the entrance of the city.
The guards at the entrance seemed to recognize the man, but they were all on alert, with a hint of disgust.
"But the City Guard is still dead. They all said that you were the one who murdered him. You killed everyone in the group to prevent them from exposing you," the captain of the guards said hesitantly.
"Ge Zhong, the others might not know me, but do you really think I did it? The City Guard has done me a great favor. How could I just sit back and watch him die? I've always wanted to find the person who killed him … "the man in ragged clothes said.
"Come in first, we're still investigating the matter," Ge Zhong said.
The man nodded and dragged his injured body into the city.
Zhu Minglang was still some distance away from the entrance, but he did notice the man's presence.
He had no idea what had happened between the two of them.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance and were about to enter the city, they suddenly heard a commotion behind them, as if thousands of wild horses were galloping.
The group turned around and saw a group of men in black riding on Steel-Armored Maned Beasts charging toward them murderously. They completely ignored Zhu Minglang and the others, who were in the middle of the path.
Their reckless behavior was like telling them that they deserved it if they couldn't dodge the attack!
The others quickly stood on both sides of the path. The group of men in black riding on Steel-Armored Maned Beasts arrived at the entrance of the city. Their leader was a man in his thirties holding a long whip.
His steel-armored steed was about to charge into the faces of the guards. The leader of the guards swung his whip in the air and questioned the head guard, Ge Zhong, "Have you seen the fugitive?"
"Fugitive?" Ge Zhong pretended not to know.
"This is the only way he can escape. Your Yellow Leaf City is a vassal of the Yan Tribe. You should know that hiding a death row prisoner of the Yan Tribe is punishable by execution!" The man with the whip said.
"Can you describe that death row prisoner? After all, there will be some people entering the city." The head guard, Ge Zhong, said.
"Pai!!!"
Suddenly, a whip lashed out, directly hitting Ge Zhong's face.
Ge Zhong's face immediately split open and blood flowed out. There was a clear scar from the side of his face to his eye socket. It was extremely terrifying!
"I'm the one asking you!" The man with the whip said angrily.
"My … My Lord, please calm down, please calm down!" The other guards hurriedly knelt down.
Ge Zhong was whipped for no reason, but he did not dare to show his anger. He could only kneel down like the others, and said, "This one has offended you. This one did not see any prisoners enter the city."
"Pai!!!"
Suddenly, another whip lashed down viciously, directly hitting Ge Zhong's head.
The back of Ge Zhong's head was red. His entire head was knocked to the ground by the huge force.
"We chased him all the way here, but you didn't stop him. What kind of guard are you?" The man with the whip said.
"This one … This one deserves to die." Ge Zhong spat out these few words with difficulty.
"Take him away." The man with the whip said.
With the order, a few Yan Tribe members in black clothes immediately jumped down from the Steel-Armored Maned Beast and used the prepared shackles to lock up Ge Zhong who was lying on the ground. They dragged him to the back.
The other guards of Yellow Leaf City were shocked. They did not understand why the Yan Tribe members wanted to take away their head guard.
"My Lord, Ge Zhong is our head guard. What crime did he commit?" An older guard asked.
"Cuff him too." The man with the whip pointed at the older guard.
The older guard tried to resist, but the black-clothed men from the Yan Tribe were very strong. Some of them were even Divine Mortal Realm experts. They beat the older guard to the ground until he spat out blood. Only then did they lock him up. They didn't even lift him up, they just dragged him to the back.
For a moment, the other guards did not dare to speak!
"Those who know it's the Yan Tribe. Those who don't know would think it's bandits. How can they be so rude?" Lu Wenye muttered softly.
Lu Wenye clearly did not know much about Divine Mortals.
She did not realize that some Divine Mortals had very sharp hearing.
The man with the whip turned his head and stared at Lu Wenye with a sharp gaze.
"Since when did it become your turn to talk about our Yan Tribe? Slap yourself until I'm satisfied. Otherwise, I'll cuff you too." The man with the whip snorted and ordered.
"Big brother, big brother, we are from the Dragon Tamer High Court. We have received the order to eliminate the Lizard Water Demons in the area. She has no intention of blaming you, so I apologize on her behalf," Hong Hao quickly bowed and said.
"Dragon Training High Court, be careful in the future!" The man with the whip saw that these people were not commoners. He just snorted and did not pursue the matter.
The head guard, Ge Zhong, and another older guard were cuffed and locked in the iron cage on the Iron Mane Beast.
The guards at the other city gates were completely panicking. They did not know how to deal with it.
Many people were watching, but they all stood far away.
The guards represented the law enforcement authority of the city. But in front of the Yan Tribe members, they were no different from lowly commoners. They could beat them or catch them as they wished, let alone commoners who did not even have a position.
"Do you think I, Yan He, look like a fool? I'll give you one last chance. Where is the death row prisoner who just escaped here? If you can't answer, I don't mind questioning all of you at the city gate! "The man with the whip said coldly.
The guards at the city gate were frightened by this cruel aura.
After a while, a guard finally spoke. He pointed to a house not far behind the city gate. It was the place where the guards usually rested when they changed shifts.
Yan He, who was holding the whip, narrowed his eyes and pointed to a few people, telling them to search the house.
Li Shaoying and Chen Bai were more afraid of trouble, so they urged everyone to hurry into the city and not stay here.
The group continued to walk into the city and did not pay attention to this kind of thing.
Lu Wenye just muttered in a low voice and caused trouble. God knows if they will be cuffed if they continue to stand there.
