After flying for a million miles, Xiahou Yuan barely managed to steady himself. But before he could recover, a metallic taste surged into his throat, followed by a mouthful of blood.
Jiang Mingxuan was filled with murderous intent, wanting to attack Xiahou Yuan again.
But at that moment, a sense of crisis struck. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he quickly turned around. In that instant, he slashed down with his sword!
Bang!
Elder Tang was sent flying by this strike!
Jiang Mingxuan's face was grim as he coldly said, "You're courting death!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward, and a violent Saber Intent spread outwards, instantly shattering space and time.
Sensing the Saber Intent emanating from Jiang Mingxuan, Elder Tang and Xiahou Yuan's eyes were filled with solemnity and apprehension.
They had to admit that Jiang Mingxuan was truly powerful!
If it were a one-on-one fight, they definitely wouldn't win!
But the two of them still have a fighting chance.
Seeing this scene in the sky, someone asked in confusion, "What's going on? Such a big thing has happened in the city, why hasn't the city lord appeared yet?"
Another person said, "That's right, so much time has passed, and the city lord still hasn't shown up. It's really strange."
A woman asked, "Could it be that the city lord has gone out? Is he not in the city?"
One man nodded and said, "Possibly!"
"Stop!"
Just as both sides were preparing to fight, Xiao Yue'er suddenly appeared in the middle.
Upon seeing Xiao Yue'er, Elder Tang and Xiahou Yuan were taken aback, then exclaimed, "Miss."
Jiang Mingxuan withdrew his Saber Intent, looked at Xiao Yue'er, and called out coldly, " Miss Xiao."
Xiao Yue'er glared at both sides and roared, "Are you all insane? How dare you fight inside the city!"
Xiahou Yuan pointed to Jiang Yu in the distance, "This kid has offended a senior."
Jiang Yu's expression changed. "You're talking nonsense! What do you mean I provoked him? He was the one who made a move in the city, which is why I had him arrested!"
Xiao Yue'er frowned, first glancing at Jiang Yu, then her gaze fell on Xiahou Yuan, "What senior?"
Xiahou Yuan looked at Su Chen.
Xiao Yue'er followed Xiahou Yuan's gaze and fell silent when she saw Su Chen.
After a long silence, she looked at Jiang Yu and said in a deep voice, "Tell me the truth, what exactly happened?"
Jiang Yu's eyes flickered with uncertainty, but he remained silent.
Ye Lingxi suddenly said, "Let me tell you!"
Xiao Yue'er looked at Ye Lingxi and nodded, "Okay."
Afterwards, Ye Lingxi recounted the whole story, telling the truth without embellishment.
After hearing Ye Lingxi's words, Xiao Yue'er's expression grew increasingly grim. She looked at Jiang Yu and said, "My father values you highly, which is why he put you in charge of the city's order, and this is how you manage it?"
Jiang Yu, "They were the ones who started the fight inside the city, that's why I ordered them to be arrested!"
Xiao Yue'er said coldly, "Then let me ask you, have you figured out what happened?"
Jiang Yu opened his mouth to refute, but couldn't find a reason.
Xiao Yue'er continued, "You arrested someone without even understanding what happened. Do you think you did the right thing?"
Jiang Yu's face was gloomy, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes revealed his Qi Ingestion.
Xiao Yue'er said, "Apologize to them now! Immediately!"
Upon hearing this, some people immediately began to whisper among themselves.
"Who are they? Miss Xiao actually made Jiang Yu apologize to them!"
"I don't know them, but their identity is definitely not simple."
" Miss Xiao, aren't you afraid of offending the Jiang Household by doing this?"
"So what if I offend her? Do you think Miss Xiao is afraid?"
"While that's true, they're all from Illusion City after all. Miss Xiao's lack of respect is bound to cause dissatisfaction among the Jiang Household."
"That's true. I'm becoming more and more curious about these people's identities."
At the same time, Jiang Yu angrily shouted, "Why?!"
Xiao Yue'er glanced at Su Chen, then said coldly, "You've offended a senior whom even my father treats with respect!"
These words caused an instant uproar in the room, with everyone turning to look at Su Chen.
"This man even treats the city lord with deference? How is that possible!"
" Miss Xiao couldn't be lying, who exactly is this man!"
Jiang Yu's face turned ashen. "Does he think he can command the respect of the city lord?"
Xiao Yue'er said, "Believe it or not, apologize immediately, or you'll face the consequences!"
Jiang Yu's forehead veins bulged, his face turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with rage.
Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said, "This man is beyond saving. He didn't even understand when Miss was saving him."
At this moment, Jiang Mingxuan suddenly said, " Miss Xiao, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to target my Jiang Household like this?"
Xiahou Yuan turned to look at Jiang Mingxuan, speechless, and said, "This guy is beyond saving."
Xiao Yue'er looked at Jiang Mingxuan and said, "Elder Jiang, he's being immature, but aren't you being immature too?"
Jiang Mingxuan said darkly, "What? Miss Xiao hasn't educated the Jiang Household's children enough, does she also want to educate me?"
Xiao Yue'er frowned. "Elder Jiang, how could you say that?"
Jiang Mingxuan said, "Isn't that right?"
Xiao Yue'er's eyes revealed helplessness.
She was truly impressed!
Those two guys are so stupid!
Do you even know who you've messed with?
That's someone even my father wouldn't dare to underestimate!
You wouldn't even notice I was saving you!
That's absolutely stupid!
Click!
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the previously calm space, followed by a rapid spread of fine cracks like a spider web.
The next moment!
The space shattered with a deafening roar!
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man emerged from the spatial rift.
The middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, his figure imposing, his eyes like deep, dark pools, flashing with a cold light. An invisible aura surrounded him, spreading outwards like surging waves, as if he contained a powerful force capable of destroying the world!
This middle-aged man was none other than Jiang Qing, the patriarch of the Jiang Household!
Everyone in the city looked at Jiang Qing with awe.
"I didn't expect even Clan Chief Jiang to come!"
"I wonder how Miss Xiao will handle this next."
"Don't forget, there's also the city lord! The city lord might be hiding in the shadows, observing all of this."
Xiahou Yuan and Elder Tang had solemn expressions.
Xiahou Yuan said, "I didn't expect him to come."
Elder Tang, "It's not a big problem, we have seniors."
Xiahou Yuan looked at Elder Tang, "You trust him that much?"
Elder Tang smiled wryly, "The city lord hasn't shown up for so long, he must be dealing with something. If I don't trust this senior, who can I trust?"
Xiahou Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."
A look of joy appeared on Jiang Yu's face, and he quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying respectfully, "Clan Chief!"
Jiang Mingxuan also bowed to Jiang Qing, "Clan Chief."
Jiang Qing simply nodded, ignoring the two of them, and instead focused his gaze on Xiao Yue'er. He calmly asked, "I wonder what Miss Xiao means by this?"
Xiao Yue'er looked at Jiang Qing, her heart heavy.
