"Mm."
Steward Li's hand froze in the air as he stared at Fang Chen.
"Your son, Young Master Jian Hen, was killed by Dai Hongxuan. I saw it with my own eyes," said Fang Chen.
This was the only way to stall for time.
"Do you think I'll believe you?" sneered Steward Li.
He was laughing at Fang Chen's stupidity for trying to use such a method to deceive him. How laughable.
"No matter what, you'll definitely die," said Steward Li.
In the next moment, Steward Li attacked.
The Vital Energy of Heaven and Earth raged in the void as the faces of the two commanders turned gloomy.
They had finally found such a good seedling, but Steward Li had killed him.
"Enough."
However, just when everyone thought that Fang Chen was dead for sure.
Suddenly, a deep voice rang out from the City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord."
Then the air rippled and an illusory figure appeared.
This was the City Lord's will.
"This matter ends here," said the City Lord.
"City Lord, this person killed my son. I want revenge!" roared Steward Li. He had fallen into madness.
The City Lord had appeared at this critical juncture, and even sided with Fang Chen. He was unwilling to accept this.
"Your son wasn't killed by Fang Chen," said the City Lord.
"This …"
The City Lord was the strongest and most authoritative figure in the Sky Sword Mansion.
No one dared to go against the words of the City Lord.
But now, the City Lord was saying that his son wasn't killed by Fang Chen.
The City Lord's illusory figure looked thoughtfully at Steward Li, and then dissipated.
The crowd below was silent.
The angriest one was Steward Li. He had thought that he could kill Fang Chen, but the City Lord had interfered.
"Damnit, not only did I not kill him, but I also wasted a scarlet maple leaf." Steward Li was furious.
However, this was the City Lord's order, and he didn't dare to go against it.
"Steward Li, the City Lord said that Fang Chen isn't the murderer," said one of the captains.
"Hmph."
Steward Li coldly snorted and left.
After Butler Li left, everyone cheered.
Hu Yanlong and the others were especially excited.
"Fang Chen, you're really something. Even the City Lord has personally stepped forward for you."
"You sure have a lot of face."
The entire Third Protector Squad cheered, and Hu Ming was also very excited.
And in the City Lord's Mansion, after the City Lord's consciousness returned, he immediately announced that he would go into seclusion.
With the Bolong Vine, he might be able to take that step.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Only Housekeeper Li knew that the City Lord was in seclusion.
That day, Steward Li's heart was once again filled with killing intent towards Fang Chen.
"The City Lord is in closed-door training and will not come out for a while. This is the best opportunity to kill Fang Chen," Butler Li said to himself.
However, he could not openly kill Fang Chen.
In the end, Butler Li thought of a way to disguise himself.
Crash
Dark clouds covered the sky above the First Army, and the astral essence of heaven and earth was in chaos.
The majestic power instantly swept down and engulfed the entire Third Guardian Squad.
BOOM!
A figure appeared in the sky. With a wave of his hand, a fierce and domineering astral essence shot towards the Third Guardian Squad.
The terrifying explosive power instantly overturned the Third Guardian Squad.
Ahhh!
Miserable screams came from the Third Guardian Squad's courtyard.
The astral essence explosion injured countless people.
All the martial artists hurriedly left their rooms and appeared in the courtyard.
Hu Ming was the first to rush over. When he saw the terrifying figure in the sky, his face turned pale.
"What's going on?"
Besides Hu Ming, the two captains also appeared.
"Thief, you dare to cause trouble in my Sky Sword Mansion?" The two captains joined hands, preparing to capture this person.
However, when they saw a scarlet maple leaf appear in this person's hand, they instantly stopped.
"I only came here to kill one person. It has nothing to do with you," the person said coldly.
"What do we do?"
One of the captains' face was gloomy.
"This is the Sky Sword Mansion. If you kill the innocent, the City Lord will definitely not let you off."
The two captains were intimidated by the scarlet maple leaf and did not dare to act rashly.
However, this person found Fang Chen in the crowd, and a fierce astral essence instantly swooped down.
"Not good, run!"
When the crowd saw this, they all shouted and scattered in all directions.
However, when Fang Chen wanted to escape, he suddenly found that he was locked on by this expert and could not escape.
"Why did he lock on to me? Could it be …"
In an instant, Fang Chen guessed the identity of this person.
"Steward Li."
Since he came to the Sky Sword Mansion, only Steward Li had the intention to kill him. This person must be Steward Li.
Could it be that he even dared to go against the City Lord's words?
Activating the Divine Level Sword Body, Fang Chen swung the Hidden Star Sword in his hand.
The strongest attack, Void Meteor Annihilation, and the Secret Ice Sword, were all used.
Crack!
However, in front of a Heaven Star Border expert, it was not worth mentioning.
After coming into contact with the astral essence, the Secret Ice Sword and Void Meteor Annihilation were instantly shattered.
Then, the astral essence locked on to Fang Chen and swooped down.
"Not good, his target is Fang Chen."
Seeing this, the two Commanders' faces changed and they immediately attacked.
Steward Li had already thought of a countermeasure. In order to kill Fang Chen, he did not hesitate to waste another scarlet maple leaf.
Crash!
The scarlet maple leaf exploded and forced the two Commanders to retreat.
At the same time, the two Commanders were injured.
"Die."
Steward Li stared at Fang Chen and laughed eerily.
The terrifying astral essence had already touched Fang Chen's body.
As long as the astral essence hit Fang Chen, he would die without a doubt.
At this time, in the sky outside the Prefecture City, a figure was flying rapidly.
"Damn it, I'm so unlucky to meet that old monster."
Thunder Freer's face was full of helplessness. After Fang Chen crushed the jade pendant to ask for help, he rushed here at full speed. He did not expect to meet that old monster on the way and fight with him for a long time before letting him go.
"I hope I'm not too late."
As he spoke, Thunder Freer entered the Prefecture City.
He spread out his soul and instantly discovered what was happening above the First Army.
Seeing that Fang Chen was in danger, Thunder Freer was instantly enraged.
"You're courting death."
Crash!
In the next moment, Thunder Freer appeared above Fang Chen out of thin air.
At this time, the terrifying astral essence had already touched Fang Chen.
"Am I going to die?"
Fang Chen's eyes were full of unwillingness.
"Break!"
While everyone was still in shock, the Vital Spirit of Heaven and Earth that came into contact with Fang Chen's body shattered and disappeared into the void without even causing a ripple.
"How is this possible?" Steward Li was shocked and cried out.
"How dare you attack my brother? Do you want to die?"
Thunder Freer landed beside Fang Chen. After confirming that Fang Chen was fine, he turned to stare at Steward Li and said coldly.
Buzz!
Around Thunder Freer, the power of the stars surged. The wild aura enveloped the First Army, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
The two commanders were the most shocked.
"That's a Heavenly Body Tier elite!"
"How does Fang Chen know a Heavenly Body Tier elite?"
The appearance of a mysterious Heavenly Body Tier elite made Steward Li's heart tremble.
"Heavenly Body Tier!"
Steward Li's heart was filled with fear.
A single look from a Heavenly Body Tier elite was enough to make him extremely terrified.
He also didn't expect that there would be a Heavenly Body Tier elite behind Fang Chen.
"Senior, this is my fault. I'm willing to bear all the consequences," Steward Li said hurriedly.
What a joke. Heaven Dipper Tier elites were like ants in front of Heavenly Body Tier elites.
"Bear all the consequences," Thunder Freer said with a sneer.
If he had come a little later, Fang Chen would probably have died at his hands.
Without Fang Chen, he wouldn't have been able to escape.
"I'm willing to give Fang Chen a scarlet maple leaf as an apology," Steward Li said.
"One." Thunder Freer glared at Steward Li.
"No, 10. This is all the wealth I've accumulated over these years. I'll give it all to Fang Chen. I hope this matter will end here," Steward Li begged in fear.
"Give it to me."
Thunder Freer waved his hand, and 10 scarlet maple leaves flew out from Steward Li's body. Then, Thunder Freer handed them to Fang Chen, and said, "Keep these."
Steward Li was overjoyed, thinking that Thunder Freer would let him go.
However, Thunder Freer's next words made him despair.
