Hearing Yang Zhen's hearty laughter, as if he were delighted that so many people were joining forces to kill him, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Is Yang Zhen crazy? How can he still laugh in this situation?"
"Even if he's not crazy, he's not a decent person either. A decent person wouldn't do something so absurd."
"Yeah, not a decent person!"
A crowd of people around him were talking amongst themselves, looking at Yang Zhen as if he were a madman.
Among the thousands of onlookers, only Han Yan'er's phoenix eyes shone brightly as she stared intently at Yang Zhen. She even tried to walk out, but Han Jingtian stopped her, saying with a wry smile, " Yan'er, don't be silly. What would you do going out in this situation?"
Han Yan'er's expression returned to calm as she looked at Yang Zhen and said, "I want to fight him!"
Han Jingtian was startled and hurriedly said, "No, Yang Zhen even stunned Old Man Fang, who was in the Spirit Wandering State, with a single shot. How could you be his match?"
Han Yan'er hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself. The Hanwu Guard had already arrived in front of Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, and an overwhelming attack rushed towards him.
Yang Hongye and her companion's expressions changed drastically. They shouted and were about to block Yang Zhen's path when suddenly a deafening shout rang out, "Stop right there, both of you!"
The sound was like thunder, violent and deafening. Everyone turned around in horror to see an old man striding towards them, his expression ashen and his face cold and stern.
"City Lord?"
Most people gasped in surprise, staring at the newcomer with disbelief and a look of horror on their faces.
Yang Hongye and Aunt Lian exchanged a glance, a look of despair flashing across their faces. Their eyes flickered as they nodded to each other, preparing to fight to the death.
Now that things have come to this, no one could have imagined that this farce would even alarm the city lord himself.
Yang Zhen blasted the Fang Household patriarch senseless, even demolishing the Fang Household's reception hall. He also blasted the Hanwu Guard leader to smithereens' feet with a single shot. Everyone witnessed this.
Even Yang Hongye and Aunt Lian, and even Fang Quan and Fang Yang, never expected that Yang Zhen, a boy of such a young age, would not only cause a great disturbance in the Fang Household, but also cause such a sensation in Hanwu City, and even the city lord himself came.
In Hanwu City, the city lord is practically the will of everyone. Almost no one dares to contradict his decisions. This is due to the city lord's charisma and the powerful strength of the city lord's mansion.
Although the city lord of Hanwu City was also only a Spirit Wandering State expert, and seemed to be no different from Han Jingtian and the Fang Household patriarch, there were as many as eight Spirit Wandering State experts in the city lord's mansion.
Such a powerful lineup is almost more terrifying than all the aristocratic Aristocratic Clan in Hanwu City combined. Who could defy the will of the City Lord's Mansion?
Seeing the anger on the face of the Hanwu City Lord, everyone looked at Yang Zhen with some pity.
" Yang Zhen is doomed now. Even the city lord himself has intervened in this matter. How can Yang Zhen possibly escape with his life?"
"Even without the city lord's personal intervention, Yang Zhen, having offended so many people, including the Hanwu Guard, would still be unable to leave Hanwu City."
"It's said that a group of people arrived some time ago, led by two stunningly beautiful women. Since then, Hanwu City has been completely pacified. Everyone is terrified at times like this, but Yang Zhen is courting death by causing trouble at this stage. How can he possibly survive?"
When the Fang Household patriarch saw the Hanwu City Lord arrive, his ferocious old face calmed down, revealing a hint of joy as he stared intently at Yang Zhen.
Once the city lord arrives, Yang Zhen will have no chance of survival; this can be seen from the face of the Hanwu Guard leader.
The Hanwu Guard leader has always been arrogant and domineering. Even the heads and ancestors of the major Aristocratic Clan would give them some face. Now, Yang Zhen has dared to contradict him in front of everyone and even sent him flying with a cannon. The Hanwu Guard leader will definitely not let Yang Zhen off the hook for such a humiliating thing.
Both the Fang Household and the Hanwu Guard have been thoroughly offended by Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, and both sides are eager to kill him. However, the arrival of one person has calmed their State of Mind.
With the city lord in charge, no matter how extraordinary Yang Zhen's Tongxuan are, he can forget about leaving Hanwu City alive.
For a moment, the entire street fell into a deathly silence, and all eyes were on the Hanwu City Lord who strode in.
The city lord appeared to be in his sixties or seventies, yet he was remarkably energetic, especially his pair of piercing, tiger-like eyes, which exuded an imposing aura even without anger. He surveyed the crowd, then fixed his gaze on Yang Zhen, and asked in a deep voice, "You are Yang Zhen?"
really!
The city lord is coming for Yang Zhen!
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, looking at Yang Zhen with complex expressions. To their surprise, Yang Zhen remained calm under these circumstances, giving the city lord a once-over before smiling and saying, "That's right, this Sage of Saunter is Yang Zhen!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock, and some even instinctively stepped back to avoid injuring innocent people if the city lord flew into a rage.
Absolutely rude! Facing the city lord of Hanwu City, Yang Zhen was so ignorant of his place, calling himself "this Sage of Saunter "—utterly disrespectful!
The Hanwu Guard leader wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, walked up to the city lord, bowed respectfully, and pointed at Yang Zhen with a fierce but weak expression, saying, "City Lord, this is Yang Zhen. He caused a disturbance at the Fang Household for no reason, demolished the Fang Household's reception hall, injured the Fang Household's patriarch, not only attempted to kill but also injured his subordinates. He has completely disregarded Hanwu City, and has shown no respect for you, City Lord..."
boom--!
A muffled thud rang out, and a terrifying wave of energy suddenly erupted from the city lord's body. His True Essence was like a raging bear, roaring and howling. The leader of the Hanwu Guard screamed in agony, looking at the city lord with a horrified expression, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Snap!
A crisp slap resounded across the face. To everyone's horror, the city lord actually slapped the leader of the Hanwu Guard across the face, sending him flying. In mid-air, he coughed up blood and even knocked out several teeth.
The sudden turn of events left everyone bewildered. Seeing the city lord's anger intensify, everyone fell silent, secretly glancing at the Hanwu Guard leader lying on the ground, groaning in pain, their hearts pounding with fear.
The Hanwu Guard hurriedly bowed their heads, not daring to utter a sound, let alone help Hanwu Guard leader.
The scene became extremely bizarre. The leader of the Hanwu Guard struggled to his feet, staggered back to the city lord, and brought his other face close to him, bowing his head. Far from showing any resentment or anger, he became even more respectful, though a hint of bewilderment and confusion could not be concealed deep in his eyes.
Snap!
With another crisp sound, the Hanwu Guard leader was sent flying again, landing heavily in the crowd, his face swollen.
The Hanwu Guard leader let out a wail, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, stood up again, staggered forward, and said in a deep voice, "The city hog is too cunning for the common folk to understand."
The Hanwu City Lord snorted coldly, glanced at the Hanwu Guard, and said in a cold voice, "This first slap is to teach you your place. The Hanwu Guard are a force to protect Hanwu City, not a status for you to abuse your power for personal gain."
The Hanwu Guard leader's expression hardened, and he lowered his head in horror, saying, "Yes, you've made a mistake!"
The Hanwu City Lord nodded, his voice growing increasingly somber, and said, "The second slap was meant to wake you up. There are some things you can't afford to offend once you understand them, let alone blindly rush to your death."
The Hanwu Guard leader was horrified. He looked up at the Hanwu City Lord, completely bewildered, clearly unaware of what the Hanwu City Lord was talking about.
The others exchanged bewildered glances, not understanding what the Hanwu City Lord meant.
Everyone was waiting for the Hanwu City Lord to continue, but to their utter astonishment, the next moment, a bright smile spread across the Hanwu City Lord's face. He laughed heartily, took three steps in two, walked up to Yang Zhen, took Yang Zhen's hand, and said, "Young friend Yang Zhen, you've kept this old man waiting for quite some time! But thankfully, heaven has not forsaken me, and I have finally waited for you."
Yang Zhen: "???"
Everyone: "???"
What the hell is this old man up to?
Not to mention the others, even Yang Zhen was dumbfounded. He hurriedly withdrew his hand and stared at the old man in front of him with a wary look.
That smile, that expression, is disgusting! It's like something a gay man would say!
