"Is the City Lord in the city?" The surrounding people immediately whispered to each other.
"I saw her leave the city last time, but I didn't see her come back …"
"Their City Lord always appears and disappears like a ghost. Finding her is harder than finding the heavens."
"Closing the city gates at this time … What is the City Lord trying to do?"
"The people who came here are all people with status on the continent, so the City Lord isn't afraid of offending them. But now that I think about it, it actually feels good. Those people think too highly of themselves and look down on us. Now that the City Lord has locked them outside, hahaha, it really feels good. "
The people of Four Corner City more or less had some grudges with the people of the continent. They had either killed someone on the continent and couldn't be tolerated, or they were hiding from their enemies.
So when these people looked at the people of the continent, they naturally didn't treat them well.
Those who had entered the city before had already fought with the locals no less than ten times.
Since the City Lord hadn't come out to speak, they could only curse in their hearts.
The people blocking Qin Langyue looked at each other. "Young lady, our City Lord has already said that the city gates will be closed soon. If you don't pay the protection fee now, we'll have no choice but to kick you out. It's not safe outside Four Corner City at night. The magical beasts in Setting Sun Forest come out for a stroll from time to time. "
Setting Sun Forest was the forest outside Four Corner City. It covered an extremely large area, and no one could traverse the entire forest. There were countless magical beasts in there, so many people chose to train here.
Qin Langyue frowned. "It's still daytime, why is your City Lord closing the gates?"
It was just past noon, so it was still far from nightfall. There was definitely something fishy about closing the gates for no reason.
"How would we know what the City Lord is doing?" The youth scoffed. This was the first order the City Lord had given since she took office. "Young lady, are you going in or not? Look, the people responsible for closing the gates are already here. "
Sure enough, a few tall, burly men came over and chased the people standing at the city gates out without a word.
Four Corner City's gates had always been guarded by people, so even if the City Lord had changed, the gates would still be guarded.
"All of you, get out! The City Lord said that no one is allowed to enter! What are you all standing there for? Get out, hurry up!"
"What's wrong with you all? Is there any law?"
The burly man sneered at the person who spoke. "Law? In Four Corner City, the City Lord is the law. "
"Isn't this city meant for people to live in? Why are you still occupying it and not letting people in? Isn't this unreasonable?"
"That's right. Why should we go out? It's so dangerous outside at night. Let me in."
"Let us in, let us in."
After that person shouted, the city gate was blocked by people. At this moment, the people outside were arguing with those who had already entered and were being chased out.
"What's the fuss about? Don't blame me for being impolite if you keep arguing." One of the big men suddenly threw out a ball of green spiritual energy.
The scene instantly quieted down.
Spirit Paragon …
This man was actually a Spiritual Venerable.
A Spirit Paragon could easily become an elder of a large family or a large sect on the continent.
The Spiritual Venerables of Four Square City actually closed the city gates?
The cultivation of the people in Four Corner City was much higher than the people outside. Not only did the people here have to face the threat of the humans, but they also had to face the threat of the Setting Sun Forest. Those who didn't work hard had died long ago. Those who stayed were naturally strong and capable.
However, they weren't everywhere. There were only a dozen or so Spirit Paragons in Four Corner City.
"May I ask this big brother, why are you closing the city gates?" Qin Langyue was standing closer to the crowd. Since no one was making a ruckus, her voice was very abrupt.
"That's right. If you're not letting us in, you should at least give us a reason, right?"
The big man's face was stern. "We're just following the City Lord's orders. How would we know the reason?"
"Then call the City Lord out. He's just a small City Lord, yet he wants to keep so many of us out of the city. Does he know how many people he's offended?"
The big man looked at the person coldly. 'Even we can't see the City Lord. You want to see him? Dream on!'
"How many people have you offended? Tell us," a light voice interrupted.
The agitated person didn't seem to notice the change in the voice of the person who spoke. He opened his mouth and said, "Not just us, but all the large families and powers on the continent, even the royal family …"
Before he could finish, someone shouted from the crowd, interrupting him.
"Shen Yaoguang!"
Shen Yaoguang.
There was no need for any explanation. Just these three words were enough to make everyone's gaze focus on the young girl who had appeared out of nowhere.
She was wearing a purple dress, which was different from what the girls on the continent wore. Hers looked more convenient for fighting, but the style was still gorgeous. There were tassels hanging from the waist, and the skirt was very elegant. When the breeze blew, the skirt would move.
The girl's features were exquisite, and her skin was as white as jade. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was smiling, but also as if she was mocking them with disdain.
This was the Shen Yaoguang who'd destroyed the Shen family and killed most of its members in a single night.
Qin Langyue examined Shi Sheng from head to toe. 'She looks completely fine.'
His cultivation seems to have increased. '
"Shen Yaoguang, why are you here?" She'd destroyed the entire Shen family. Who on the continent didn't look down on her? Why was she here?
"What does it have to do with you where I am?!" Shi Sheng almost rolled his eyes.
Qin Langyue's face darkened. Jiang Mu immediately released his killing intent, looking like he was going to kill Shi Sheng.
"Chase them all out. Find those who entered the city and throw them out as well." Shi Sheng ignored Jiang Mu's killing intent and turned to instruct the burly man.
The burly man was still in a daze. He actually saw the City Lord!
And he even knew her name …
Shen Yaoguang. Why does the City Lord's name sound so good?
The burly man only regained his senses when he heard Shi Sheng's words. "Yes, City Lord. This subordinate will definitely do it well."
Not only is the City Lord powerful, she's also beautiful. Whoever marries the City Lord will have a great fortune!
The burly man was still blindly admiring her in his heart.
"What? She's the City Lord?!" Someone in the crowd shouted. "Do you know who she is? She's someone who slaughtered her own family, and you actually let her be the City Lord?! "
"According to the rules of Four Corner City, the winner is king." The burly man's voice rang in everyone's ears.
Who in Four Corner City hasn't had blood on their hands? What's the big deal about slaughtering an entire family?
Many of Four Corner City's disciples who hadn't come out for training didn't know about this. However, those who did know only knew that the people of Four Corner City weren't to be trifled with. As for the details, only a few understood.
They couldn't refute the burly man's words.
But now, a person who everyone on the continent despised had actually locked them out of the city.
No matter how they thought about it, it was humiliating.
Thus, some people secretly wanted to make a move.
