Just after Nangong Zhen subdued the troublemakers, another group arrived outside Wei City.
There were twelve of them. At the front walked a man in blue robes at the golden core late stage peak. Behind him were two more golden core late stage cultivators, followed by nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
When the group reached Wei City's north gate, the gate guards hurried to stop them.
Before the guards could question them, the leader raised a hand, sending one guard flying. He slammed into the ground more than a hundred feet away and lay motionless, his life or death unknown!
Seeing this, the other guard turned and ran, sounding the alarm for an enemy attack as he fled.
Xu Qingtong was sitting cross-legged on his Chan Chair when he suddenly heard the alarm. His expression changed, and he swept his divine sense toward the north gate.
What he saw instantly enraged him. With a whoosh, he flew out of the City Lord's Manor and reached the north gate in a few bounds.
Coming face-to-face with the group, Xu Qingtong wasted no breath and sent a Golden Light Slash straight at their leader.
The blue-robed man was, after all, at the golden core peak. He reacted quickly, hastily bringing out a round shield to block in front of him.
With a bang, the blue-robed man staggered back several steps before regaining his footing. Although Xu Qingtong's Golden Light Slash had not injured him, the impact had left his arm numb.
"Who are you?" the blue-robed man demanded sharply.
Xu Qingtong gave a cold smile. "I should be asking you that! You came to my Wei City to cause trouble and injured my guard, yet you ask who I am!"
"You're the one impersonating Wei City's city lord?"
Xu Qingtong ignored his question.
