Night of Zijin (Third Watch)

"Hall Master Yin, isn't it inappropriate for you to call Sect Leader Lu by name?" At Yin Tianlong's side, a Sword Lotus Disciple spoke in a trembling voice.

Who the hell was this guy?

Never mind that he had saved them a full two times; just his strength alone—

He was someone who had fought Peak Master Tu atop Zijin!

And you were just calling him by his full name?

"Ah!" Yin Tianlong remained dazed, staring up at his "love rival" in the night sky.

The time before last they met, Lu Ran had still been at the Jiang Realm.

The last time they met at the city's Training Ground, Lu Ran had already been a Hai Realm Great Being.

Now, when they met again today, Lu Ran could already go toe-to-toe with Tian Realm Peak Master Tu!

Was that even right?

And he... had changed professions? Had he become a Demon Disciple and entered under Jade Faced Snake's sect?

"Didn't you hear Sect Leader Lu tell you to organize people to clear the battlefield?" A commanding female voice suddenly descended from the night sky.

Terrifying pressure blanketed heaven and earth, crushing down upon the city walls.

Inside and outside the walls, everyone looked up and saw the City Lord standing in midair, Golden Zen Staff in hand.

"Yes!" Yin Tianlong hurriedly answered, finally snapping out of it.

"City Lord He!"

"City Lord!" The crowd dropped to their knees and lowered their heads.

To Zijin City, He Qifeng was undoubtedly its pillar. Her personal prestige and standing in the hearts of the city's people were beyond comparison.

With the City Lord here, everyone was visibly more at ease.
