"Damn it!"
"Who do you think you are, threatening Young Master Qingchen?"
"Kneel down and beg for mercy immediately!"
"Otherwise, we'll cut off your heads!"
Several young men behind Qingchen roared!
"Seeking death!"
A cold glint flashed in Wu Sheng's eyes!
He turned his finger into a sword and slashed forward!
A stream of sword energy howled from his fingertips, instantly bisecting the men at their waists!
"No!"
"Young Master Qingchen, save us!"
"Kill him, kill him for revenge!"
Those young men let out heart-wrenching screams!
Having one's waist cut in half was one of the ten great tortures!
It did not result in immediate death!
It was precisely because of this that it demonstrated his cruelty!
Because those who were bisected could see their heads severed from their bodies!
See their lower bodies unresponsive!
They could also see their internal organs spilled on the ground!
The despair of being powerless was more terrifying than death!
Qingchen and Liu Rui's scalps tingled!
They never expected Wu Sheng to publicly execute more than a dozen people!
After all, Zhongzhou City strictly prohibited fighting and killing!
Seeing the gruesome scene before them!
Qingchen felt a chill run through his body, a strange unease rising in his heart!
Liu Rui's face turned ashen!
She had never witnessed such a bloody scene!
"It's over, you're finished!" Qingchen flew into a rage. "You publicly murdered people, disregarding the laws of the Wu Kingdom. I will definitely report you to the authorities!"
"No matter who you are, you will pay a heavy price!"
Wu Sheng's attitude was nonchalant. "Report it!"
Wu Di grinned. "I'd like to see what the officials can do when they arrive!"
Just as Qingchen took out his communication jade token!
He heard hurried footsteps approaching: "Who is killing people in Piaoxiang Pavilion?"
Soon, a group of soldiers in armor surrounded them!
Seeing the person in the lead, Qingchen's eyes lit up. "Brother Jia, you've arrived just in time. They murdered people in public, disregarding the imperial law. They should be severely punished!"
Jia Yuncheng was a member of the Sixteen Guards of Zhongzhou City!
They were specifically responsible for maintaining the order of Zhongzhou City!
Although it was not the same organization as the City Defense Force, Qingchen and Jia Yuncheng were old acquaintances!
They often drank together!
Jia Yuncheng glanced at the deceased members of noble families on the ground, then looked at Chen Nan and the others with cold eyes. "Bold! You dare to commit murder openly and disregard imperial law!"
"Guards, throw them all into prison!"
"Yes!"
The Sixteen Guards immediately stepped forward!
Seeing this scene!
Qingchen and Liu Rui showed playful expressions!
The Sixteen Guards were an organization that struck fear into people's hearts!
Once in their hands, no one had a good ending!
"I advise you not to interfere in this matter!" Wu Di's eyes were indifferent. "This matter is very deep, deep enough to drown you!"
"Are you threatening me?" Jia Yuncheng's eyes widened. "Believe it or not, I'll kill you right here, right now?"
"Kill me?" Wu Di was stunned for a moment, then sneered. "You're finished. You'll be executed along with your entire clan immediately!"
Jia Yuncheng let out a heavy snort. "I am an official appointed by the court, holding the sixth rank. Without an imperial decree, who can execute my entire clan?"
"Act!"
"If they resist, kill them on the spot!"
Clang clang clang!
The Sixteen Guards drew their blades one after another!
The situation was on the verge of erupting.
It suddenly became very oppressive.
"Stop!"
"Whoever dares to move, I'll chop him!"
Just then!
An angry shout rang out!
A middle-aged man in his forties ran over from a distance!
Seeing Ma Zhen!
Jia Yuncheng and Qingchen were both shocked!
This was the Commander of the Sixteen Guards!
Although he only held the rank of third grade!
He maintained the security of the entire Zhongzhou City!
Moreover, this man was ruthless!
Making many people tremble with fear!
What they didn't expect was!
The other party, like a child who had made a mistake, stood nervously in front of Wu Di. "Third Master, my subordinates were blind. Please punish me!"
Jia Yuncheng, Qingchen, and Liu Rui's scalps tingled!
What the hell was going on?
Why was Ma Zhen so wary of the other party?
Could it be that the other party had some powerful background?
Wu Di looked at Jia Yuncheng with a playful smile. "Your men don't believe I can execute his entire clan. What do you think about this?"
Ma Zhen shivered, and looked at Jia Yuncheng with a cold expression. "Immediately cripple your cultivation and apologize to Third Master!"
Jia Yuncheng swallowed hard. "My Lord, they committed murder in public!"
"Don't tell me so much. What you need to do is obey!" Ma Zhen glared at him with disappointment, and transmitted his voice. "He is the King of Xiaoyao!"
Boom!
A simple five words!
Like a bolt from the blue!
Caused Jia Yuncheng to collapse onto the ground!
A chill that originated from his soul surged into his heart!
Recalling his previous words...
He wished he could smash his head against the ground!
That was the high and mighty King of Xiaoyao!
He had actually ordered to arrest him?
And even threatened to kill him on the spot if he resisted?
Thinking of this!
He rolled his eyes!
Frightened, he fell unconscious!
"Commander Ma, do you know them?" Qingchen, still shocked, forced himself to remain calm. "Since they are our people, I will give Commander Ma your face!"
"Let's let this matter go as if nothing happened!"
He didn't want to swallow his pride!
But Qingchen knew!
The other party must have a significant background!
Someone was giving him a way out!
Unexpectedly, Liu Rui directly said, "Brother Qingchen, we don't need to be afraid of them!"
"They just killed more than a dozen people. This is a murder case!"
"As the saying goes, the emperor who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as a commoner!"
"Even if they have an earth-shattering background, they must be punished by law!"
Her face was filled with righteous indignation!
Fearless of power!
Demonstrating unyielding integrity!
"Qingchen, is this your woman? Is her brain flooded?" Ma Zhen's brow furrowed!
"Enough!"
Qingchen roared!
Liu Rui was his treasure!
He would not allow anyone to insult Liu Rui like that!
His face was filled with ferocity. "Commander Ma, as the Commander of the Sixteen Guards, you are responsible for the security of the entire Zhongzhou City!"
"Now the murderers of my more than ten brothers are right before us!"
"You should arrest them!"
"Instead of colluding with them!"
"Have you forgotten the mission and duty on your shoulders?"
"Have you forgotten that the emperor who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as a commoner?"
Ma Zhen's face turned cold!
As the Commander of the Sixteen Guards!
He had never been reprimanded by a junior in person before!
Just then!
Qingchen's voice rang out again. "Maintaining order is your duty. If you can't even handle this small matter!"
"I will inform my father and have the City Defense Force intervene!"
Wu Di's face showed a meaningful smile. "I have already sent word to your father. He will be here soon!"
"You actually informed my father?" Qingchen's scalp tingled, and a bad premonition arose!
