No Killing in the Base City

Ruins No. 9.

Underground base exit.

Ji Yun arrived even faster than Hong. A Planetary Level Four going all out made Ji Yun several times quicker than before.

Before he even got close, Ji Yun spotted Luo Feng in a black casual shirt.

A cyan streak of light flashed to the base entrance in an instant.

"Brother Yun." Luo Feng was very happy. He already knew that Ji Yun had blocked many troubles for him. Even Li Yao, who had once heard that Luo Feng had fallen and wanted to use every means to go after his family, had never succeeded even once.

Ji Yun had also wanted to deal with Li Yao, to end the problem once and for all. But after careful consideration, he decided it was better to let Luo Feng handle it himself once he came out.

"You're out." Ji Yun saw that Luo Feng looked well and said, "Looks like you got a lot."

As he spoke, Ji Yun flipped out a token.

"Brother Yun, you too?" Luo Feng was very surprised. The token Ji Yun flipped out was exactly the Falling Ink Star token. Luo Feng had also obtained one.

"I'm different from you. I didn't go through any trials." Ji Yun said calmly. "That Bald Crystal Being already told you about the domain, didn't he?"

Luo Feng nodded. "He did. He said there are two people on Earth with a domain—one is you, and the other is the General Dojo Master."

"He told you quite a bit."

Just as he said that, two streaks of light came from afar.

Of the two streaks, the one flying in front was a blue smart fighter!

Behind it was a blood-red triangular fighter.

Both fighters landed at the same time.

The hatches opened, stairs extended. A black-clad Hong stepped out first, followed by his personal guard 'Yao Rao' and an inspector 'Liu He'.

"Brother Hong."

Ji Yun nodded and greeted him.

Hong, dressed in black, glanced at Ji Yun and nodded back, then walked toward Luo Feng.

"Good. You didn't disappoint me." The black-clad man Hong walked right up to Luo Feng, his gaze as if he could see right through him. "And I can feel that you're different from before. That year and three months—quite a harvest, huh? Come, let's talk on the fighter. A-Yun, you come too. Stop flying around up there."

After finishing their conversation, Ji Yun took Luo Feng's smart fighter back to Jiangnan Base City.

Although Ji Yun's flight speed was already very fast, maintaining high-speed travel consumed a lot of primal energy. Plus, there might be King Rank monsters blocking the way here and there, so the efficiency wasn't actually that high.

The sky was gray and overcast, no sunlight. A cold wind howled, sweeping up fallen leaves.

In Bright Moon Residential Quarter, many children and teenagers ignored the cold, training in the wind with strength exercises, agility drills, blade techniques, and the like. The martial atmosphere in Bright Moon Residential Quarter was very strong. Many parents stood around, and some warriors were even instructing the kids.

A dark blue fighter slowly descended onto the lawn.

The hatch opened, and two figures walked out one after another.

"Luo Feng, so this is your home? Sure enough, all the Limit Dojo family quarters look the same." Ji Yun looked around and smiled.

"Mm." Luo Feng acknowledged and then quickly ran toward his house, leaving Ji Yun standing there watching.

"Big brother, was that person just now War God Luo Feng?" Some teenagers still practicing martial arts saw Luo Feng run off, leaving only Ji Yun, who had come out with him, standing on the lawn. They couldn't help but crowd around and ask.

Ji Yun had completely mastered concealing his aura, not affecting ordinary people in the slightest.

"Yeah, that was Luo Feng." Ji Yun looked at the still-green youths, smiled, and patted their shoulders. "Luo Feng is a High-Level War God, you know. You should learn from him in the future."

"Mm, big brother, I definitely will." The youth nodded firmly.

"Then who are you, big brother?"

"Me?" Ji Yun pointed at himself. "I'm Ji Yun. Luo Feng's brother."

"Wow, then you must have met in the Wilderness Zone! Can you tell us about it?" The teenagers all crowded around Ji Yun, as if eager to hear about War God Luo Feng's exploits.

The adults nearby originally wanted to stop them, but once they heard Ji Yun was Luo Feng's brother, they crowded over too.

"Sure." Ji Yun smiled. "I'll tell you how Luo Feng and I met. It was in City 003..."

A dozen minutes later, Ji Yun had barely said a few sentences.

A message suddenly appeared on his Auxiliary Optical Computer that left him utterly stunned.

Luo Feng was publicly hunting down Li Yao in Jiangnan Base City!

Ji Yun's expression changed. Killing a warrior openly within a base city was a major crime. Ji Yun had no doubt that Luo Feng had the ability to kill Li Yao. With Luo Feng's strength, plus what he gained from Ruins No. 9, killing an Apprentice Level Nine warrior would be child's play.

Ji Yun glanced at the group of youths, hastily said, "I'll tell you another time," then ordered his Auxiliary Optical Computer, "Locate Luo Feng's position." He shot into the sky, flying toward Luo Feng without any leverage.

"C-Councilor! Councilor!" The adults nearby were already stunned. These adults had some awareness—they knew that anyone who could fly unaided was a Councilor-level powerhouse. "The one telling stories to the kids just now was a Councilor... such a young Councilor."

"Luo Feng, let my husband go! In the residential complex next to the HR Alliance and on this street..." The surrounding crowd instantly erupted, many people screaming and running in all directions.

"If you want to kill my husband, then we'll all die together."

Ji Yun had just arrived when he saw a blonde woman holding a small remote control, her finger about to press the button.

"Luo Feng, stop for now."

Ji Yun landed beside Luo Feng, casting a cold glance at the blonde woman.

"Who are you?" Ji Yun asked coldly. "Why?"

Ji Yun actually understood private grudges between martial artists—personal grievances settled personally. In his view, the feud between Luo Feng and Li Yao could be resolved in the Wilderness Zone.

But!

This blonde woman dared to threaten others.

At that moment, people began gathering around.

A group stationed not far from the HR Alliance Mall quickly arrived, along with some personnel, led by a middle-aged man in a Tang suit.

"Councilor Ji." The Tang-suited man first bowed to Ji Yun.

"War God Luo Feng, Madam Venina, let's talk this through calmly." The middle-aged man forced a smile, afraid of provoking either side.

"Venina?" Ji Yun said softly. "You're Li Yao's wife?"

"You should know that such behavior is unacceptable even for a Councilor."

"You've already committed a capital offense, and this is just one count."

Beside him, Luo Feng roared angrily: "Brother Yun, during the time I disappeared, Li Yao repeatedly targeted my parents and family, even attempting to assassinate my loved ones. You blocked all of it, but it severely impacted my parents' lives—my father's health has plummeted."

"I have every reason to kill him." Luo Feng's eyes seemed to spit fire.

"I understand." Ji Yun nodded.

"Venina, I'll give you one chance. Put down the remote in your hand. Private grudges can be reported to the War God Palace for resolution. I believe the War God Palace Council can give both sides a fair outcome."

"As for Li Yao, let him go. Abandon him, and you might still escape punishment."

In truth, Ji Yun didn't know that while the War God Li Yao had been the one targeting Luo Feng, the blonde woman had masterminded every plan—she was the truly venomous one.

"No, I don't trust you." The blonde woman seemed almost hysterical. "Let my husband and me go, and I won't press the button."

On the ruined HR Alliance Mall plaza, the temperature began to drop rapidly. Already winter, it plunged below freezing; the fountain pool's water instantly froze, and waves of chill spread through the air. A middle-aged man with faintly green-tinged hair flew down from midair.

This man was named Lan Ran, with the title Ice Blade. According to the Auxiliary Optical Computer's scan, Councilor Lan was a Planetary Level tier-two martial artist.

"Councilor Lan." Ji Yun's expression was blank as he glanced at Lan Ran, acknowledging him.

Councilor Lan nodded to Ji Yun.

"Even if you have a grudge, don't drag ordinary people into it." Councilor Lan was like millennia-old ice, his gaze chilling.

Lan Ran landed before Luo Feng. "Luo Feng, you should know the national laws and the War God Palace regulations!"

"The War God Palace regulations have several bottom lines that no one is allowed to cross."

"Killing a martial artist openly within a base city is one!"

"War Gods fighting within a base city is another!"

"You've already broken two. Stop now, and I can pretend I saw nothing." Lan Ran's tone was icy.

"You've violated the War God Palace regulations, set by the five Speakers. Are you really willing to trade your life for Li Yao's? And drag your fellow citizens into it? Among them are newly grown youths and innocent young children—is it worth it?" Councilor Lan stared at Luo Feng.

"This..." Luo Feng fell silent, calmly thinking.

"Luo Feng, back off now, or even if my husband and I die, you and these tens of thousands will join us." The blonde woman suddenly laughed loudly, wildly.

"Shut up." Ji Yun's eyes turned cold.

A hazy cyan domain instantly covered nearly a kilometer. Within that range, everyone felt as if they were no longer in control of themselves.

Crack.

The blonde woman's remote fell to the ground.

The middle-aged man Ji Yun hadn't covered rushed over and snatched the remote in one hand.

The domain dissipated.

"Councilor Lan, arrest the two below. You know what to do." Ji Yun glanced at Lan Ran and said flatly. "Luo Feng, don't act rashly in the city. This isn't just about personal grudges—there are innocent lives at stake."

"I understand." Luo Feng nodded.

"You and Lan Ran take these two to the War God Palace for judgment. Don't worry about anything else."

"Yes, Councilor Ji." After witnessing Ji Yun's cyan domain, Councilor Lan's attitude toward him had completely changed. Who knew? Such a hazy environment, such an aura of power—Lan Ran had only ever seen it on Hong.
