Thankfully, Fang Yue hadn't acted rashly back then.

Otherwise, with no buffs from [Night Breathing], and in such poor condition, charging in like that against the [Night Thieves], whose numbers were unknown, and possibly even other members of the Phoenix Organization, would definitely have led to problems.

In a sense, his own caution and prudence had saved his life.

As for Fang Yue himself, he had too much to do, making it difficult to comprehensively safeguard the safety of Dayang Prefecture.

Of course, if the young miss awakened as a result of this, and devoted herself to martial arts, she might become the second Xiantian realm martial artist in Dayang Prefecture.

Having created such a drastic change, it was likely the young miss would also undergo some alterations.

Leaving the blind fortune teller's residence, he went to the courtyard to practice his martial skills.

Before long, someone came to report the situation.

"The Fox Merchant Troupe is leaderless and will immediately leave the city."

"The Old City Merchant Troupe has invited people from [Lan Shan] to be stationed there, requesting protection."

"The Kongshan Merchant Troupe has spent a lot of money to invite many experts to be stationed in the Kongshan Merchant Troupe."

Only the first, the Fox Merchant Troupe, wanted to withdraw. The other two intended to resist head-on.

Moreover, their approaches were different. One was to invite the power of the government to guard them, making Fang Yue hesitant to act rashly.

Regardless of the strength of [Lan Shan]'s forces, their status was such that Fang Yue couldn't easily take action.

However, since the Old City Merchant Troupe could invite them to guard the place irregularly, they were likely involved with the Old City Merchant Troupe, or even the Phoenix Organization. The people they invited had either been bribed or had long become like the Merchant Troupe, losing their conscience and not deserving to be called [Lan Guards].

Fang Yue narrowed his eyes. As the future Qingyi of the Qing Si, acting as a Baiyi, helping the neighboring department clear out internal traitors, was perfectly reasonable, wasn't it?

As for the other Kongshan Merchant Troupe, which had invited experts, they were much easier to deal with.

No matter how many experts they had, if there was no one at the Ren level, Fang Yue wouldn't care.

If there were Ren level experts stationed there, it would be too easy to recognize them. They might even be members of the Phoenix Organization, allowing him to follow the trail and find out more information.

"Prepare the horse!"

After thinking for a while, Fang Yue called out to his subordinates.

The Fox Merchant Troupe was the priority. If he really let them prepare, pack their things, and escape into the wild, scattering in all directions, even Fang Yue would find it difficult to chase after everyone. He could only try to kill enemies within a certain range.

So Fang Yue had to rush ahead of the Fox Merchant Troupe to the city gate and wait outside.

Every city has a rule: once you leave the city, the people are no longer under their jurisdiction, and all the rules within the city are invalid.

In other words... in the wild, you can go on a killing spree, and no one can stop you.

But saying that, no one would easily let you do that right at their city gate.

But if you were a little further away, causing trouble where the guards couldn't see, they would turn a blind eye.

In a word, as long as you don't affect the traffic and business of [Chu Nuan City], no one cares what you do in the wild. Even Night Thieves can run rampant, let alone ordinary people.

"Lord Ye, your horse..."

Fang Yue glared at him, and the subordinate quickly stopped speaking.

Mounting [Fiery Red], Fang Yue instructed, "Carry the blind fortune teller, bed and all, to the main hall. Let him guard Dayang Prefecture. If you encounter something you don't know how to solve, just ask him."

The blind fortune teller still had combat power. He was just too injured. If he really fought desperately, no one in Dayang Prefecture would be his opponent one-on-one.

A desperate struggle from a Xiantian realm martial artist is far from comparable to that of a Houtian realm martial artist.

Seeing the astonished blind fortune teller being carried out along with his bed, Fang Yue briefly explained the situation. After learning that the Fox Merchant Troupe had already set off towards the north gate, Fang Yue narrowed his eyes...

"Drive!"

Fiery Red galloped away.

Although Fang Yue was careful to avoid the Qing Guards, he still attracted the attention of many people.

However... they couldn't catch up.

Fang Yue didn't hesitate and went straight out of the city.

Chu Nuan City was easy to enter and easy to exit. No one even checked or stopped to ask why you were leaving the city. The gates were wide open, allowing you to enter and exit as you pleased. The guards were just standing there in a symbolic manner.

Fang Yue left those chasing Qing Guards and Lan Guards behind, leaving them in the dust. Before long, he rushed out of the city and waited patiently.

Soon, he saw the short-tailed people, carrying large and small packages, with various horses carrying tents and supplies, hurrying to the city gate and quickly leaving the city.
