"Quick, quickly take me to Song Ziwei!"
Chen Nan’s face was pale. He directly grabbed the small gray-white mouse and, led by it, sped towards the north city gate.
Actually, Chen Nan had never thought about his relationship with Song Ziwei.
In his heart, Song Ziwei was his sister.
An inseparable part of his life.
Even though she loved money dearly.
And also loved to drive (a car) at the slightest disagreement.
It still couldn’t affect Song Ziwei’s status in his heart.
Her place in the host’s heart was second only to his mother.
Even Xia Youwei couldn't compare.
Therefore.
Upon learning that Song Ziwei was in trouble.
Chen Nan immediately had a premonition of something ominous.
He ran wildly through the streets.
Finally, he saw a luxurious carriage inside the north city gate.
Two tall and strong, exceptionally magnificent horses pulled it.
The carriage was grand and spacious.
Surrounding it were eight cultivators on horseback.
Their strength was not weak, all at the fifth layer of the Caiyin realm.
Seeing the carriage about to leave the city, Chen Nan shouted, "Halt! Stop that carriage!"
The soldiers guarding the city gate naturally recognized Chen Nan.
After all, he was a celebrity in Tongcheng.
Who had performed many miraculous feats.
Whose face would they dare to disrespect?
Moreover, his expression at the moment was filled with anger.
Upon hearing his words.
Two soldiers immediately drew their sabers and blocked the road, "Constable Chen says you cannot leave!"
"Young Master, save me!"
The curtain of the carriage was pulled aside by a panicked Song Ziwei, and she cried out to Chen Nan for help.
"In broad daylight, how dare you kidnap a respectable woman?"
Those two soldiers were enraged. One even fired a Sky-Piercing Arrow.
Kidnapping a respectable woman in the street.
This in itself was a capital offense.
Let alone when the perpetrator was kidnapping Chen Nan's maid.
If they let them escape.
How could they, the city guards, show their faces?
How could the thirteen million people of Tongcheng show their faces?
After all.
They were kidnapping the maid of the Divine Constable Chen Nan!
Chen Nan's face was grim, his eyes filled with astonishing killing intent. "No matter who you are, if you dare to kidnap my kin, I will make your lives worse than death!"
As he spoke.
He took a swift step and appeared before a middle-aged man.
"You, you actually think you can challenge me?" the middle-aged man said with disdain.
He didn't take Chen Nan seriously at all.
Although his cultivation was not strong.
It had reached the fifth layer of the Caiyin realm.
He didn't believe this man, who was only a little handsome, could defeat him.
But as soon as he drew his long sword.
The horse beneath him let out a pained cry.
Then his vision distorted.
"Not good!"
The middle-aged man's face changed drastically.
He clearly didn't expect Chen Nan's punch to knock down his horse.
It happened in an instant.
Before he could even react.
He, along with his horse, crashed heavily to the ground.
Chen Nan snatched the long sword from his hand.
The sword pierced his heart.
He died on the spot, filled with regret.
This scene happened in the blink of an eye.
So much so that the other seven men looked on with shock.
They never expected a young man, still wet behind the ears, to instantly kill a strong expert at the fifth layer of the Caiyin realm.
"Young man, your strength is indeed good."
"But, you shouldn't have stopped us."
"And you definitely shouldn't have killed our man!"
A cold, indifferent voice followed.
An old woman, nearly sixty years old, stepped out of the carriage.
She was small in stature.
Seeming only about 1.6 meters tall.
Her hair was all silver, she was hunched, and she leaned on a black cane.
She wore a pink robe.
Looking both old and young.
Giving a strong visual impact.
Especially the wrinkles on her face, like a basketball, made Chen Nan feel nauseated.
Chen Nan's eyes were cold. "Today, I will not only stop you, but I will also bring you all to justice!"
He didn't know who they were.
Nor did he want to know.
Because he only knew one thing.
He would not allow anyone to forcibly take Song Ziwei away.
If he couldn't even protect the people around him.
How could he talk about protecting all living beings?
"Young man, you are too arrogant! Today, I will teach you a lesson, you ignorant fool!"
A middle-aged man leaped up, wielding his long sword and charging at Chen Nan.
His cultivation of the fifth layer of the Caiyin realm was not weak.
Especially his swift footwork.
Like a fleeting glimpse of a swan.
However.
Chen Nan was not afraid of him.
With a single sword strike.
A mist of blood splashed into the air.
His severed body fell to the ground.
The middle-aged man let out a terrified, desperate scream.
He never expected to be cut in half.
A cold glint flashed in the old woman's eyes. "Young man, you kill people without a word. Do you have any respect for the law?"
"When you were kidnapping a woman in broad daylight, did you have any respect for the law?" Chen Nan retorted angrily.
Even though the other party was very strong.
And their aura was terrifying.
He was not afraid.
The old woman snorted, "Sharp-tongued. Why should I explain my actions to you? You are so cruel and disregard human life. Today, I will act on behalf of heaven and eliminate you, a menace!"
As she spoke, she raised her palm to strike Chen Nan.
"Presumptuous!"
A group of constables, their sabers at their waists, arrived with imposing momentum.
It was Wu Jiu and his men.
Wu Jiu's eyes widened with rage. "Old hag, how dare you harm a county constable in broad daylight? Have you eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard? Do you think Tongcheng has no one?"
The old woman frowned slightly. "He's a constable?"
"Nonsense, he's our renowned Divine Constable of Tongcheng."
"That's right, he's a county constable."
The onlookers in the distance spoke up.
Many people recognized Chen Nan.
Chen Nan said coldly, "Release my kin, and surrender yourselves to the county yamen. I can spare your lives!"
Disdain appeared in the old woman's eyes. "So what if you're a county constable? Do you know who we are?"
Chen Nan gritted his teeth. "I told you to let them go!"
The old woman asked calmly, "What if I refuse?"
"Then I will kill you!" Chen Nan's killing intent surged like a god of war, erupting with terrifying murderous aura.
"You, an ant, dare to try and kill me? Today, I will kill you, you insolent whelp!" The old woman struck Chen Nan with her palm.
Terrifying Yin energy gushed from her palm.
Even though Chen Nan possessed a spatial domain.
Even though he had reached the sixth layer of the Caiyin realm.
He couldn't dodge her attack.
It felt like being hit head-on by a speeding truck.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward uncontrollably.
He was no match.
Chen Nan was completely outmatched by her.
Even her casual palm strike was something Chen Nan couldn't withstand.
Song Ziwei cried tears of sorrow and wailed. "I'll go with you, is that okay?"
"I beg you not to kill Young Master, don't kill Young Master."
"If you kill him, I'll bite my tongue and die right in front of you!"
The old woman looked at Chen Nan with cold eyes. "Since the young lady has spoken, I will spare your life. But remember, from now on, the young lady will have nothing to do with you. If you dare to disturb her life."
"Don't blame me for not giving the young lady face."
Suddenly.
Han Zongyuan's furious voice, like thunder roaring through the sky, echoed, "Who gave you the gall to be so arrogant within my jurisdiction?"
