City Lord Appears, Yue Shan Explodes

The youth who suddenly appeared on the stage, and Yue Shan who was unexpectedly sent flying, shocked everyone in the arena.

From a certain spectator stand, Lin Zhentian gazed at the youth's retreating figure. He remained stunned for a long moment before slowly murmuring, "Could this be the mysterious senior that Dong'er mentioned?"

Although it was a question, Lin Zhentian, as well as Lin Xiao and the others, already had an answer in their hearts. They were merely surprised by the youthfulness of this mysterious senior and his peerless demeanor.

Under the gaze of countless people, Cang Wu retracted the hand he had placed on Lin Dong's back. He lightly waved his sleeve and stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the arena, his eyes filled with coldness as he stared intently at Yue Shan not far away.

At the edge of the stage, Yue Shan slowly got up from the ground, his face filled with terror as he looked at Cang Wu. Just as he was about to swallow, the next moment, a mouthful of fishy, sweet blood surged into his throat, and he spat it out.

"Pfft!"

After Yue Shan forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire aura instantly deflated like a pricked balloon.

At this moment, Lin Dong also reacted. He turned his head to look at Cang Wu behind him, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

However, before Lin Dong could even speak, he saw Cang Wu stomp his foot, and his entire being instantly transformed into a black stream of light.

In that instant, a massive, thick black light shadow spanning the entire stage appeared.

Cang Wu reappeared before Yue Shan. Under Yue Shan's terrified gaze, Cang Wu did not attack. He simply waved his sleeve, and an invisible force completely restrained Yue Shan.

Yue Shan's figure was lifted into the air as if grabbed by an invisible hand. No matter how he struggled, he could not move an inch.

Then, under everyone's bewildered gaze, Cang Wu slowly turned and looked in a certain direction.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to find nothing. As they were puzzled, they soon felt a presence even more powerful than Yue Shan's approaching.

"Whoosh!!"

A sound of wind breaking through the air rapidly approached, eventually transforming into a middle-aged man as gentle and refined as jade, standing in mid-air.

Upon seeing the man appear, a clamor erupted from the surroundings, with faint undertones of respect.

"It's the City Lord! The City Lord has appeared!"

The City Lord of Yan City looked down at Cang Wu from above. Just as he was about to speak, he felt waves of invisible force pressing down on his shoulders.

These waves of invisible force were not overwhelmingly strong, but they were exceptionally overbearing. He could not dispel them with his own strength. Seeing this, the City Lord was forced to descend onto the stage.

He glanced up at Yue Shan, who was bound in the air by the invisible force. The City Lord's expression turned somewhat grim, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"May I ask who you are, esteemed sir? I presume the aura from the eastern part of Yan City earlier was left by you?"

The eastern part of Yan City?

Xia Wanjin, Xuan Su, and the others were startled. If they remembered correctly, the Danxian Pond was in the eastern part of Yan City, wasn't it?

However, after reacting, Xia Wanjin quickly stepped forward to explain.

"City Lord, this is a misunderstanding. Yue Shan broke the rules first!"

"Hmm? What happened?"

The City Lord's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He turned to look at Xia Wanjin. Seeing this, Xia Wanjin leaped forward and came to the City Lord's side, explaining softly.

Listening to Xia Wanjin's account, the City Lord's expression grew even more somber. However, he did not rush to a conclusion. Instead, he turned to Master Yan, who was on a nearby spectator stand, and asked in a deep voice.

"Master Yan, is this truly how it happened?"

Although Xia Wanjin spoke softly, Master Yan, being a Four Symbol Talisman Master, heard every word. He immediately nodded and replied.

"That's correct. In fact, Yue Shan's actions were even more egregious."

The City Lord's expression became increasingly grim upon hearing this. He immediately cupped his fists in a salute towards Cang Wu and said courteously.

"Esteemed sir, would you be willing to hand Yue Shan over to me for punishment?"

"Oh? How do you plan to punish him?"

Cang Wu's brows slightly rose, and he chuckled, asking.

The City Lord naturally understood Cang Wu's meaning and immediately responded loudly.

"Yue Shan violated the iron laws of my Yan City and has repeatedly refused to mend his ways. He deserves to be executed!"

Cang Wu nodded lightly. Just as the City Lord's face broke into a smile, preparing to ask for Yue Shan, a cracking sound rang out.

"Bang!"

Following the cracking sound, the previously bound Yue Shan turned into a mist of blood that rained down, instantly stunning everyone in the entire arena.

The vast arena fell silent, so quiet one could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared blankly at the cold-faced, black-robed youth.

No one noticed when the youth had spoken, but his domineering and stern voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"I waited for you not to deal with him, but to tell you that this is the fate of anyone who dares to break my rules!"

On a spectator stand, a young girl gazed at the handsome youth with adoration, her eyes filled with infatuation.

Perhaps, the girl would never forget the day she met the absolute perfect man in her heart – elegant, witty, handsome, and carefree, yet also so domineering and captivating.

After being jolted back to reality, the others also stared at the youth on the stage in astonishment, then collectively gasped.

Such domineering words and actions brought a sense of relief to Lin Zhentian, Xuan Su, and the others. However, Xuan Su and the others couldn't help but worry.

After all, the City Lord was not comparable to someone like Yue Shan, who was at the Great Perfection stage of the Primal Core Realm!

The City Lord of Stone City was also stunned in place, not because of Cang Wu's words, but because his pupils contracted as he looked at the blood mist filling the sky, a sense of horror welling up in his heart.

Yue Shan was a peak Primal Core Realm expert, and had even grasped the intent of creation, yet he was easily crushed by Cang Wu's Spiritual Power.

Moreover, even the City Lord of Stone City could sense a trace of death from that Spiritual Power just now.

A Talisman Master!

This person was actually a Dual Cultivator of Essence and Spirit, a Talisman Master!

With unfathomable Primal Energy and the Spiritual Power cultivation to reach the level of a Talisman Master, what kind of expert was this?

Taking a deep breath, the City Lord of Stone City suppressed the shock in his heart and replied with a respectful expression.

"Since Senior has already dealt with Yue Shan, this junior naturally won't have any objections. If Senior has time, you can come to my City Lord's mansion to sit for a while, and this junior will surely welcome you with open arms!"

After bowing to Cang Wu, the City Lord of Stone City slowly stood up, his gaze falling on Lin Dong beside him. After a pause, he spoke again.

"Regarding today's incident, Yue Shan violated the iron laws of Yan City first and caused young friend Lin Dong to suffer such serious injuries. Therefore, the assets of the Blood Wolf Gang will belong to young friend Lin Dong as compensation. I hope young friend understands that Yan City is not unreasonable!"

This sudden windfall surprised Lin Dong. He glanced at Cang Wu before nodding in response.

"Thank you, City Lord!"
