Chapter 74 Fighting Back

Tu Lanwei smirked and shouted back, "Sha Mo, surrender now, or I'll kill your sweetheart directly!"

Before Tu Lanwei could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The hand he was using to grab the young lady felt floaty and light, as if it weighed nothing.

He subconsciously looked at his right hand, and his pupils instantly shrank, and he stumbled backward in fright.

The man wrapped in black mist had silently appeared beside him at some point.

And his right hand, which was holding the young lady, had already been severed by the black shadow. As blood splattered, the right hand fell to the ground.

"Ah... ahhh!"

The emerald blade wrapped in black mist flashed past.

Tu Lanwei's screams abruptly stopped.

"Lord Ye?!"

The young lady, held in one arm by Fang Yue, immediately felt relieved and exclaimed in surprise.

Fang Yue held the girl with one hand, dispersed the black mist, and scanned the crowd with his blade.

"Take the corpses of the Qingyi and Lanwei back and tell your superiors to thoroughly investigate the background of those two, and clear my name. Otherwise, there's no need for the Qing Si and Lan Shan departments to exist in Chu Nuan City. I will personally go to your door and destroy the Qing Si and Lan Shan departments!

"Then, in the name of Baiyi, I will report this matter to the higher-ups to get justice for myself and for all the people of Chu Nuan City!

"As for now... all of you get out!"

His domineering aura was overflowing, and his killing intent was chilling!

No one doubted Fang Yue's words, and no one doubted his ability to do it.

At that moment, everyone was terrified by Fang Yue.

One Qingyi with one slash, one fourth-grade Lanwei with one slash – no one could withstand that!

In fear, they all left with the corpses.

Once they were gone, the young lady immediately felt Fang Yue release her hand, letting go of her slender waist.

She felt a slight sense of loss, but it was quickly replaced by greater concern.

"Lord Ye, are you really a Baiyi of the Qing Si? Even so, that identity won't protect you. The Qing Si and Lan Shan have already been infiltrated and will only use you as a warning to others. If a Hongyi comes forward, or a third-grade Lanwei... even you will find it difficult to resist."

"Are they only human-level? Are they that strong?"

He had already said the harsh words, but to be honest, Fang Yue himself wasn't sure.

Fortunately... he hadn't planned to clash with others so quickly.

"They are very strong."

The young lady said with worry.

Those two were not half-baked human-level cultivators like Lady Wan last night, but genuine human-level, strong individuals who had emerged from the internal competition of the government forces, and had cultivated step by step.

Moreover, they had been famous for many years and were at least middle-stage human-level experts!

The young lady didn't know who was stronger, the two of them together, or Fang Yue, but she thought it wouldn't be easy.

If a fight really broke out, it would only be a narrow escape from death. After all... as far as she knew, Fang Yue was still only at the Xiantian realm.

For a Xiantian realm cultivator to fight an early-stage human-level cultivator was already a heaven-defying achievement.

But to fight a mid-stage human-level cultivator would be a bit of a stretch.

If Fang Yue could advance to the human-level... then he would have a chance to fight!

But the road to advancement was so difficult that it couldn't be achieved just by wanting to break through.

Many people might be stuck in the Xiantian realm for the rest of their lives, unable to make any progress.

Although the young lady had great confidence in Fang Yue, that was in terms of future potential, believing that Fang Yue would one day break through to the human-level and become a human-level expert, or even a cloud-level expert!

As for the rain-level, which was like a legend, she dared not hope for it.

And now, Fang Yue was still stuck in the Xiantian realm, so it wouldn't be possible to break through in a short time, so her concerns were naturally justified.

"It's okay, I don't plan to confront them head-on right now. I plan to avoid the limelight first, but you..."

Fang Yue himself had a way to temporarily avoid the limelight, so that the Qing Si and Lan Shan could calm down, investigate the details of the matter, and clear his name. Surely, not all government officials were incapable of doing things properly.

The problem was that if he ran away, what about the Dayang Prefecture...

"It's okay! Lord Ye, just leave Chu Nuan City. I will contact the Tianshang Alliance and seek their protection. With the Tianshang Alliance here, I should be fine. It's you... Lord Ye, could you leave a way to contact you? In a few days, the Wujue will be held, and if you leave and never return..." the young lady said with some melancholy.

"I'm just going out to avoid the limelight for a few days, I'll be back in a few days, and I'll contact you then."

As for how to contact him, Fang Yue didn't leave it for now, but he still mentioned, "I'm going to Dongliu Mountain. The Phoenix clue is there, so I'm going there. I'll be back before the Wujue."

The young lady wanted to say that she would go too, but when she thought about her weak strength, the words changed when they reached her lips, "Be careful on the road and come back soon! If the situation in the city changes, I will send someone to notify you at the foot of Dongliu Mountain. If they all take the official road, they should be able to meet you."

"Okay."

Since the Tianshang Alliance could protect the young lady, Fang Yue could leave with peace of mind.

Not to mention that the main firepower had already been drawn to himself.

Riding the Liehong horse, he gave Blind Liu a word to take care of the young lady's safety, and Fang Yue rode out of Chu Nuan City.

The transmission of news has a time delay.

Fang Yue's harsh words angered the high-level members of the Qing Si and Lan Shan.

Before long, Dou Hongyi led people to Dayang Prefecture.

"Where is he?"

Dou Hongyi was tall and had a stern face. He glanced around and directly questioned.

"Lord Ye has already left Chu Nuan City."

The young lady was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Running away after causing trouble? Killing two Qingyi of my Qing Si, and even threatening to destroy my Chu Nuan City's Qing Si, how dare he!"

Dou Hongyi's dangerous gaze swept over the people of Dayang Prefecture.

Just then...

"What a temper. It seems the person has run away."

A somewhat effeminate voice sounded, and a pale-skinned man, fanning a small fan, stepped into Dayang Prefecture.

"Second-grade Lanwei... Yang Diandian!"

Dou Hongyi narrowed his eyes and looked at the person coming from behind.

"Aiyo, what fierce eyes, what? You're not welcoming me?"

Yang Diandian walked over, gently patted Dou Hongyi's shoulder with his fan, passed him, sat down on the chair, unceremoniously took the hot tea on the seat, blew on it, and glanced at the young lady and others.

"Since the person has run away, then let's deal with the other people in Dayang Prefecture, first a wave of killing the chickens to scare the monkeys, and when we catch Sha Mo, we'll just chop him up in the street."

Dou Hongyi sneered, "Easy to say, the other party is a Baiyi of the Qing Si, damaging my Qing Si's face. How my Qing Si handles this matter internally has nothing to do with your Lan Shan."

"My Lan Shan also died..."

"When I catch the person, I will naturally give your Lan Shan an explanation. Now, this is none of your business."

Yang Diandian narrowed his eyes, "Dou Hongyi, don't make me wait too long. Three days, if you can't catch the person within three days, then this matter will be taken over by our Lan Shan."

"Dream on! The affairs of the Qing Si are not for your Lan Shan people to interfere with!"
