Going against the will of heaven, summoning strange beasts, abandoning her daughter, she is addicted

Qingyong City is the most powerful main city on the Beast Taming Continent.

Its power is immense, needless to say.

The soldiers of Qingyong City are at least at the first level of the Divine Realm. One can only imagine the immense effort and resources required to train such soldiers!

The entire team that was about to enter the city, including the leading soldiers, totaling fifty-one people, all perished at the hands of Ruan Yu!

To attack Qingyong soldiers without authorization is a capital offense. Let alone someone like Ruan Yu, who directly annihilated an entire Qingyong squad.

This time, it seems even Night City will suffer the consequences!

How could the guards not be afraid?

Xiao Hei was also panicking! But after witnessing Ruan Yu's strength firsthand, he inexplicably regained his confidence: "What's there to panic about? Even a true god would have to avoid Miss Ruan's power!"

"But... Miss Ruan might not be willing to protect us!"

“She will,” Xiao Hei said. “What just happened must not be told! It will cause a public unrest! Understand?”

"Yes……"

Although Xiao Hei intended to conceal the matter, so many people in the queue at the time witnessed it.

How can you silence the voices of the people?

The news quickly spread throughout the entire city of Nightfall, and countless wealthy merchants and officials gathered their families and money, attempting to flee the city.

In the dead of night, in complete darkness.

The group, who thought their plan was foolproof and that they could escape, were stopped at the city gate by Xiao Hei and his men.

"Gentlemen, where are we headed?"

"Lord of the City!" Everyone was startled when they saw Xiao Hei. They were all important figures in the city, and if word got out that they had abandoned the people and fled with their families, they would lose all face.

But if we don't escape, we can only wait to die with these people!

At worst, I can just live a quiet life under an assumed name!

It's better than being dead!

"That woman was brought into the city lord's mansion by you. She has caused such a disaster, yet you neither hand her over to Qingyong City for punishment nor allow us to escape. Do you want to drag us all down with you?!"

"Yes, Lord City Lord, we're not forcing you to hand her over, but you can't force us to stay and die with you!"

These people were talking all at once, saying different things.

But the meaning is the same.

"You can leave, but you'd better think it through. Once you step out of this door, there will be no chance to come back!" Xiao Hei stepped aside.

"Don't worry, Lord City Lord, we won't be coming back!" (Just kidding, Dark Night City is about to be destroyed!)

What are they coming back for? To be killed?

A crowd surged out.

After running for a while, they were still discussing: "What do you think is the relationship between that woman and the city lord? Why is the city lord protecting her?"

"Could it be an illegitimate daughter of a prominent city dweller who was born out of town?"

"You're talking nonsense! How could the city lord have given birth to such a beautiful woman? I think the city lord probably wants to take her as a concubine and is so infatuated with her that he doesn't care about anything else."

"Why are we saying all this? Let's run for our lives first!"

"If the black market still existed, Qingyong City probably wouldn't dare to touch us. Unfortunately, the black market was wiped out overnight! Do you know what happened?"

"If we had known, would we still be desperately fleeing like you?"

The first rays of morning sunlight fell on Ruan Yu's face.

After a night of painstaking preparation, the complex Thousand Shadow Array was finally completed.

Ruan Yu straightened up and supported her lower back.

"Xiao Hei. You've been watching over me all night. If you have any questions, just ask."

Seeing that Xiao Hei still had no intention of showing up, Ruan Yu sighed and called him out.

"Miss Ruan..." Xiao Hei knew that his hiding place in front of Ruan Yu was useless, but when he was actually called out, he still trembled with fear.

"Actually... those people you killed yesterday were soldiers from Qingyong City."

He recounted some of the events in Qingyong City, and finally, a pleading look appeared on his face. He bent his knees as if to kneel down: "I beg Miss Ruan to save the people of Black Night City!"

"You're a strange person." Ruan Yu thought something was wrong.

It turned out to be this.

She realized that the people she killed were no ordinary people.

They also considered the consequences of killing the other party.

But so what? Just because the Qingyong soldiers are powerful, does that mean they can be arrogant and disregard other people's lives? Were the lives of those innocent civilians who died along the way less valuable than theirs?

Xiao Hei's heart skipped a beat when he heard Ruan Yu's words.

Does Ruan Yu mean she's not going to take care of them?

“I killed the person, so the trouble should come to me,” Ruan Yu said. “If anyone from Qingyong City comes, feel free to let them come to me.”

Xiao Hei could finally exhale the breath he had been holding in.

He was relieved: "With Miss Ruan's words, I am at ease."

"But... the people of Qingyong City aren't so easy to reason with. They've lost an entire team this time, so they probably won't be polite to us," Xiao Hei speculated. "Once Qingyong City sends people over, they'll definitely attack the people of Heiye City without any explanation."

He gave an example: "There was a city where people got drunk and accidentally killed a Qingyong soldier, which resulted in the city becoming a dead city!"

"It's alright, not a single blade of grass or tree in Black Night City will die." Ruan Yu was exhausted after a long night and was so sleepy that she yawned and went back to sleep.

Xiao Hei hadn't finished saying what he wanted to say, but seeing that Ruan Yu had already disappeared, he could only swallow his words.

"Lord City, what did Miss Ruan say?" Upon returning to the meeting place in the City Lord's Mansion, a group of powerful figures quickly surrounded them.

Xiao Hei: "Miss Ruan said she would protect everyone."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on everyone's faces: "That's good. It seems that Miss Ruan is kind-hearted."

"But this whole thing started because of her. Isn't it only right that she stepped in to protect us? Besides, if it weren't for her, we wouldn't have gotten into this mess!"

"I think so too, this is truly an undeserved disaster!"

"How can she possibly be a match for those old monsters in Qingyong City on her own? Even if she does her best, she can't protect us! In my opinion, we should just hand her over!"

"Shut up!" Hearing these words, Xiao Hei's face darkened. "If I hear these words again, don't blame this city lord for turning against you!"

"If it weren't for Miss Ruan, Dark Night City would have been destroyed by the Black Market Lord long ago! Where would we be today? Instead of being grateful, you actually want to hand Miss Ruan over? Are you even human?"

Many of the powerful figures present had witnessed Ruan Yu's prowess and knew that the city lord's words were true.

They did survive because of Nguyen Ngoc.

"What can we do then? Are we really just waiting to die?"

"The city's protective formation has been breached. What else can we do but wait to die?"

They didn't believe at all that Ruan Yu could protect them.

"Won't the city's protective formation be rebuilt after it's been broken? In any case, we must perfect the city's protective formation within one day!"
