"You have quite the nerve! Daring to cause trouble here! Don't you know this is human territory?" Hu Yu said coldly. "Who gave you the courage to attack humans on human land?"
Throughout the city, many people watched, their hearts stirred. Especially by Hu Yu's words, which echoed their own thoughts.
However, this was the border of the beast tribes, where beast tribe experts were as numerous as clouds. They dared not speak to the beast tribe members like this, lest it invite endless trouble.
"Who is this little girl, daring to meddle in our affairs!"
Several other beast tribe members spoke with icy voices, their gazes fixed on Hu Yu. They felt a surge of displeasure at her actions. In their eyes, humans were meant to be bullied, at least here in Wuyou City. No human dared to defy them.
"Release him for me, and I'll let you leave!"
Hu Yu said coldly, "If you dare to be ignorant of heaven and earth and cause trouble here, you will leave your lives behind!"
Faced with these words, the beast tribe members burst into laughter. One of them stomped heavily on a human's head, their arrogance boundless. "In Wuyou City, there's nothing we beast tribes dare not do. What are you, to speak to me like this!"
Hu Yu was greatly angered by this. The provocations from the beast tribe members made her feel even more dissatisfied.
At the same time, Lu Fan's eyes also flashed with cold light as he looked at the beast tribe members. These beast tribe members were so arrogant, daring to do such things, naturally made him extremely displeased.
They, however, acted with impunity, continuing to toy with the human on the ground as if these people were mere playthings before them, insignificant.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan's eyes also surged with cold light. In that instant, a surge of spiritual energy erupted from his palm. Before the beast tribe man could react, several men instantly vanished from their spots, turning into dust.
Everyone present was stunned. They had not expected Lu Fan to be so formidable, acting so openly, which struck a chord of fear in their hearts.
The beast tribes were no ordinary tribes; they were filled with experts. Lu Fan's impulsive action might escalate the conflict between humans and beast tribes, potentially causing endless turmoil if it came to that.
"Thank you, thank you for saving me!"
The fallen man quickly expressed his gratitude, but his heart was filled with apprehension. "The beast tribes are not to be trifled with. You should leave quickly!"
"It's alright!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "You go ahead! We'll be fine!"
The man nodded slightly and then fled in haste. He knew very well that this was Wuyou City, a border city between humans and beast tribes. Killing beast tribe members here would surely incur the displeasure of the beast tribes, possibly even leading to a bloodbath in Wuyou City.
Upon learning that beast tribe members had been killed, a contingent of people immediately arrived within Wuyou City. These were tall and imposing individuals, led by an elder with a cold expression.
"Steward Zhao is here. This is troublesome!"
Many people murmured, their hearts stirred. They knew very well that Steward Zhao was no ordinary person, and that harming beast tribe members within the city would be punished.
"How dare you! You actually dared to kill beast tribe members! Don't you know the rules of Wuyou City?" Steward Zhao said coldly. "Killing beast tribe members within Wuyou City means losing your head. How many heads do you have to dare to do such a thing?"
"The beast tribe members were bullying humans, should we just stand by and do nothing?" Lu Fan turned and asked, his gaze fixed on Steward Zhao. "I see you are also human. Do you intend to help the beast tribes oppress humans?"
"What do you know? These are the rules of Wuyou City!" Steward Zhao said coldly. "They were set by the City Lord. The beast tribes have special privileges in Wuyou City, and no one can lay a hand on them. Now that you have acted recklessly and attacked beast tribe members, you deserve to be punished!"
"What kind of City Lord sets such rules?" Lu Fan scoffed. "You truly surprise me!"
"You dare to mock my City Lord!"
Steward Zhao's face instantly turned ashen. He stared intently at Lu Fan and said, "Do you know what crime mocking is?"
"I truly don't know!" Lu Fan shrugged. "But even with the rules set by your City Lord, it shouldn't be like this. Are we humans inferior to beast tribe members?"
"You're sharp-tongued, boy, and you don't even take my words seriously?" Steward Zhao said coldly. "Do you know that in Wuyou City, no one dares to speak to me like this!"
Many people in Wuyou City also watched, clearly shocked. They had not expected Lu Fan to be so direct, so fearless. After all, this was Steward Zhao, not an ordinary person.
"It seems you've grown accustomed to being overbearing in Wuyou City, no longer treating humans as humans!"
Hu Yu said coldly, "Then do you know who we are?"
"I don't care who you are. If you dare to cause trouble in Wuyou City, you will pay the price!"
Steward Zhao was not polite. He directly ordered his subordinates forward, his eyes flashing with coldness. If Lu Fan and the others dared to resist, he wouldn't mind killing them on the spot, as it would showcase the might of Wuyou City.
"These people are in for a lot of trouble, daring to offend Steward Zhao!"
"Who says not? How many people who offended Steward Zhao have had a good end!"
Conversations continued, and people discussed animatedly. They found the actions of Lu Fan and his companions courageous, as Steward Zhao was no ordinary person. Offending him was akin to a death sentence.
Lu Fan stood his ground, his expression calm, as if all of this was insignificant in his eyes. Perhaps, in his heart, none of this mattered.
However, as these people approached, Hu Yu repelled them with a palm strike, saying coldly, "You truly cannot distinguish right from wrong. It was the beast tribe members bullying the human, which is why we acted. Now you want to attack us, isn't that unreasonable?"
"Reasonable or unreasonable, it's not for you to decide!"
Steward Zhao said coldly, "Regardless of the circumstances today, you must return to the City Lord's mansion and accept your punishment. Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
"I doubt you have the ability!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "I truly didn't expect that within Wuyou City, there are people who have become slaves to the beast tribes!"
