Ying Yang returned to the top of the city gate and gazed into the distance. His gaze seemed to be able to see through the long streets and thousands of houses, all the way to that chaotic place.
"Boss, there's an eagle in the sky following us." Laosan couldn't help but say after confirming many times.
"It's alright, this is Ying Yang's beast. It has no ill intentions towards us, it's just following us so that Ying Yang can receive the latest news."
Huo Sixing knew that Ying Yang had subdued the Black Eagle Clan, so he wasn't surprised by Ying Yang's actions. If it was him, he would have done the same.
On Vermillion Bird Avenue.
Wu Tianran had already arrived with his troops. He had sent his troops to seal off the entrances of every street to stop the Beast Hunters who were rushing over. He had also personally led his troops to Vermillion Bird Avenue to suppress the situation.
Of the two teams he led, one went straight into the two sides that were about to fight, while the other surrounded and controlled the people who were fighting to prevent anyone from escaping. It was also to prevent the people inside and outside from leaking in.
Wu Tianran used his Qi to move forward. Green spirit power surged to his feet as he walked upward step by step. Every step he took was like stepping on solid ground, making loud banging sounds. His spirit power rippled along with his footsteps and pressed down, one round after another, one after another.
With every step he took, the two troops following behind him roared angrily, and the blades and shields in their hands clashed against each other.
Their movements were synchronized, and their voices were loud and deafening.
The sound of weapons clashing overlapped with the angry roars, and the killing intent of the battlefield rushed towards them. Although the Beast Hunters dared to fight with their lives, they had never seen such a scene before, so they all quietened down.
The rippling footprints made of spiritual energy overlapped with each other, and their power became apparent. Amidst the clanging sounds, the weaker ones were shaken to the point that they couldn't stand steadily, and had to support each other to stabilize themselves.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Wu Tianran stood in mid-air, right above the chaotic crowd, and looked down at the crowd below, searching for the leader of the troublemakers.
Locking onto his targets, he bellowed furiously, "Gao Linfan, Ji Tiankong, and Yuan Taizhen, have you eaten the guts of a leopard?
How dare you cause trouble in Silvermoon City! "
His voice contained spiritual energy, causing everyone's ears to buzz. The three people who were called out were shocked and took a step back in fright.
Gao Linfan calmed himself down. "We didn't start this. We did this to protect ourselves. Why are you only talking about us and not the culprit?!" He pointed at Boss Bian and the others on the other side of the room.
Boss Pang flew into a rage and scolded, "Gao, don't slander me! I thought you were a big shot, but I didn't expect you to be a treacherous villain.
Pooh! "
After he finished scolding, he cupped his hands at Wu Tianran. "Protector General Wu, I've always been a man of my words, unlike some people who only know how to forsake morality at the sight of profit. You know my brother, Wulan, he's still in their hands.
If I don't stand up, how can I live in the future?
We didn't mean to cause trouble. As long as they hand over the person, I'm willing to give you face and let this matter go. "
After hearing this, Wu Tianran's expression softened a little. He looked at Gao Linfan with a 'at least you're sensible' look. "Hand him over!"
Ji Tiankong stood up. "Boss Pang isn't telling the truth. We're the victims. Wulan colluded with a traitor to steal money and herbs from us. He was caught red-handed.
According to the rules of our Beast Hunters, we should have cut off his limbs and paraded him on the streets.
It was Boss Pang and the others who didn't abide by the rules and tried to snatch the person back. We had no choice but to gather our men.
“
Boss Pang was furious. He scolded, "Bullsh * t. How could my brother do such a thing? You must have framed him.
What traitor? Do you dare to ask them to come out and confront us? "
Gao Linfan chuckled. "Of course they won't admit to it. Boss Pang, as far as I know, your Hunter Group is so poor that they can't even feed themselves. If Wulan didn't steal the large amount of gold coins, did he conjure them out of thin air?
Fortunately, I checked the storeroom today and realized that a lot of gold coins and herbs were missing. That's why I chased after them. Otherwise, I'd be in the same situation as you. "
Ji Tiankong echoed, "That's right. Those gold coins were saved by our brothers by living frugally. Why did they feed the wolf cubs for no reason? Boss Pang, your group has always been so poor. Was it all stolen by this thief? Leave this matter to us to investigate. Don't worry, if there's anything in there that belongs to you, we'll definitely return it to you."
Yuan Taizhen also said, "I know that Boss Pang is a loyal man and can't bear to lay hands on his own brothers. Let us be the villains!"
Boss Pang became angrier the more he listened. His face turned ashen. He bellowed, "If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll tear your mouths apart!"
Gao Linfan chuckled. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?
If it were in the past, I might have been afraid of you. But look at what you've done in the past few years. I'm afraid that you've already lost your body to wine and women!
Haha. "
Boss Pang was furious, but he couldn't outtalk them. He was about to make a move immediately. His brothers behind him also looked ferocious and pressed forward.
Fortunately, Liu Jingran and Zhao Kaiyun, who were next to him, knew that the other side was doing it on purpose. Thus, they managed to stop Boss Pang and suppressed the scene that was about to erupt.
At this time, whoever made the first move would probably be targeted by Wu Tianran's weapon.
Wu Lan and the few people he had brought with him were tied up and gagged. They were being held at the back. When they heard the words of Gao Linfan and the others, their eyes were bloodshot with anger. They struggled to stand up, wanting to fight it out with Gao Linfan and the others. In the end, they were only met with another round of punches and kicks.
In the end, Wu Tianran was still able to control the situation. The situation did not go out of control. He also knew that the root of the matter was Wulan and his men. He pointed at Ji Tiankong and said, "Hand over Wulan. I'll interrogate him myself."
Ji Tiankong would not hand over the man so easily. If they continued to investigate, they would be exposed. He quickly replied, "This is a matter between us beast hunters. According to the rules, there's no need to alert the authorities. We can solve it ourselves!"
Wu Tianran said angrily, "Solve it?
What can you solve? If you could solve it, why would it be like this?
I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Hand him over! "
Being scolded in front of so many people, Ji Tiankong felt a little embarrassed. "The rules are the rules. I won't hand him over to you. Even if the Eagle Guards come, they won't do it!
Otherwise, how can I survive in the underworld in the future? Brothers, don't you agree? "
The people behind him agreed in unison.
Gao Linfan and Yuan Taizhen also stepped forward and expressed their stance.
Wu Tianran's face darkened. He had already seen Wulan and his men who were tied up together. He immediately walked toward Wulan.
He planned to hand over the man himself.
Ji Tiankong and his men also realized his intentions. They hesitated, unsure if they should make a move or not.
This was different from the situation with Boss Pang and his men. If they dared to attack Wu Tianran, it would be considered a rebellion. They would be suppressed without anything to say.
"Protector Wu, how impressive. A cultivator in the midst of a tribulation bullying the weak. If word of this gets out, we'll be laughing our heads off!"
"Hmph, that's all he's capable of. All he can do is bully us."
"Wu Tianran, if you dare to take another step forward, we'll kill Wulan right now!"
"Wu Tianran, are you trying to bully us Beast Hunters because we don't have anyone capable?
Do you think that no one can stop you? "
For a moment, there were voices in the crowd, either cursing or disdainfully.
This agitated Wu Tianran's nerves and stirred up the emotions of the crowd.
When the people guarding Wulan heard these words, some of them subconsciously pointed their sabers at Wulan and his men. Ji Tiankong and his men also leaped into the air and landed next to Wulan, looking as if they were ready to take him down with them.
When Boss Pang saw that Ji Tiankong and his men had moved, he was afraid that they would harm Wulan, so he also charged forward. The situation that had just been under control was about to go out of control again.
In a nearby building, Liu Hun frowned. "What a boorish fellow. Can't you hold on a little longer and let me observe a little longer?"
“
Hidden in the crowd, Tang Long revealed a cold smile. He revealed the crossbow hidden in his sleeve. The tip of the arrow glowed with a blue light. It was obvious that it was dipped in poison.
At this moment, he was like a venomous snake, spitting out its tongue as it watched its prey.
At this moment, the hurried clopping of hooves could be heard.
"Boss, we're almost there. Vermilion Bird Avenue is just around the corner," Laosan said to Huo Sixing behind him.
