The three Black Heart Proprietor were terrified by Li Changfeng's imposing presence, thinking to themselves, "Luckily we didn't oppose Li Changfeng! Otherwise, our fate would have been no different from theirs!"
At the same time, the three of them had completely submitted to Li Changfeng, and couldn't muster even a trace of rebellion. Perhaps working under such a person wasn't a shameful thing...
However, this situation sent chills down the spines of the officials. The corrupt official collapsed to the ground, a foul-smelling yellow liquid oozing from his crotch, slurring, "Is... is this even human?! Quick! Quick! Take me away!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen not only refused to leave with the corrupt official, but also directly took out a knife and held it to the official's neck, coldly saying, "You corrupt official, you think you can get away? Impossible!"
The commotion immediately alarmed the surrounding constables, who drew their swords and pointed them at Officer Chen, shouting, "Officer Chen! What's wrong with you! Release the magistrate!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen roared, "Ask yourselves honestly! As constables, how many people have you harmed under his command? Can you really live with yourselves?"
Officer Chen's words struck the hearts of the constables like a thunderbolt. Some of them gritted their teeth, slowly lowered their broadswords, and walked over to Officer Chen, saying, "Officer Chen! We've come to our senses! We'll no longer serve this corrupt official!"
"How dare you! Do you know what the punishment is for killing Imperial Court? Moreover, you have broken the law, which is an even greater crime! I will not give you a chance now, but as long as you capture Officer Chen, I will pardon you!" The corrupt official roared, his face full of rage.
The remaining three constables and a group of officers surrounded them and said in a deep voice, "Release the lord immediately! Chen Quan! You can't escape!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen sneered, "Hmph! You people are all scoundrels who collude in corruption and bribery! You don't know how many people you've harmed, so of course you want me to release your magistrate! But don't even think about it!"
At this moment, Li Changfeng led the three of them slowly to this place. Upon seeing this, the corrupt official hurriedly said, "Master! Quickly save me! I will reward you handsomely afterwards and even find you a good official position!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng sneered and gave the three Black Heart Proprietor a look. The three immediately understood and attacked the corrupt and lawless constables.
Upon seeing this, the constables shouted, "What are you doing! How dare you attack people from the Imperial Court? Aren't you afraid of dying?"
The Black Heart Proprietor sneered, "Killing you would be a death sentence for all of you cancerous growths!"
The three men were extremely ruthless, giving them no chance to escape. They were all killed on the ground, leaving the corrupt official filled with despair. "You... you! How dare you do this!"
Seeing this, Officer Chen kicked him to the ground and said coldly, "Hmph! Your many good deeds have brought this disastrous result! What else is there to say!"
Seeing that all was lost, the corrupt official immediately knelt down and began frantically kowtowing, pleading, "Officer Chen! Spare my life for the sake of our years of working together! I know I was wrong, please don't kill me, hand me over to the authorities! I'll confess all my crimes, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen swiftly beheaded the corrupt official. The bloody head rolled several times on the ground, its face filled with disbelief, completely unable to believe that Officer Chen had killed it so easily.
Officer Chen spat on the corrupt official's head and said coldly, "You want me to spare you? How can I face the people you killed?!"
Seeing this, Li Changfeng smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and said, "Officer Chen is truly righteous! He is a good officer who cares deeply about the people!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen quickly cupped his hands in thanks, "Master, you flatter me! The successful eradication of these underground forces and this corrupt official today is entirely due to your abilities! I could do nothing!"
Li Changfeng chuckled upon hearing this, "What are your plans next?"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen sighed, "There's nothing we can do! We can only flee for our lives. After all, killing Imperial Court is a serious crime! And you, Master? Your crime is not light either!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng slowly said, "I have finished what I needed to do, and it is time to leave Cloud City!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Take care, Master! We'll meet again someday!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng also cupped his hands in a respectful greeting, saying, "Take care!"
Afterwards, Officer Chen led everyone away using his movement technique, slowly disappearing without a trace.
As they walked, one of the constables couldn't help but say, "Why don't you reveal the real mastermind? With Master's skills, he might be able to take care of them all at once!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen shook his head. "It's too difficult! After all, that person is a Grandmaster-level expert. Grandmasters are not people that ordinary people can deal with. I don't want the world to lose such a good person!"
The constable nodded upon hearing this. "Officer Chen! You're right! I don't want to put such a good person at risk either!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen sighed and said, "From now on, don't call me Constable anymore! I'm truly ashamed to have you all following me as fugitives!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly said, "Officer Chen! You don't need to feel ashamed! We have no regrets about what we did, and we are relieved. We are no longer as aggrieved as before. From now on, we will follow you and do whatever you do!"
Upon hearing this, Officer Chen laughed heartily, "Good brother! From now on, we'll share both good times and bad!"
At the same time.
The City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, the City Lord's mansion was surrounded by a group of Brocade-Clad Guard. A luxurious figure slowly walked out of the room, his face grim and furious. He said, "What do you City Lord Brocade-Clad Guard want? How dare you surround my mansion! What is your punishment!"
Upon hearing this, a commander of the Brocade-Clad Guard slowly stepped forward. He then took out a stack of files filled with evidence of your crimes and slammed them onto the City Lord, saying in a deep voice, "This is the evidence of your crimes over the years. You may obediently submit to execution!"
Upon seeing the commander's face, the City Lord turned ashen-faced. "Princess... Princess! Have you come to arrest me?!"
Princess Minmin sneered upon hearing this, "Just surrender obediently!"
Upon hearing this, the City Lord gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and suddenly attacked Princess Minmin. Princess Minmin sneered, "Hmph! You're simply courting death!"
After saying that, Princess Minmin suddenly made her move and engaged the City Lord in a fierce battle. It was clear that the City Lord was no match for Princess Minmin and was suppressed and forced to retreat. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, City Lord Princess Minmin and cut off his head, which was then placed in a black box.
"Have you sealed off the entire Cloud City?"
One of the Brocade-Clad Guard knelt on the ground and bowed, saying, "The Brocade-Clad Guard have already surrounded Cloud City. No one will escape!"
Princess Minmin nodded upon hearing this, "Next, bring back the remaining accomplices!"
Upon hearing this, the Brocade-Clad Guard bowed and said, "We obey!"
