They tried to force the guards to retreat, but the city lord remained firmly seated, and the guards refused to budge an inch.

Before the person in charge could even speak, his subordinates had already begun their contest.

Clearly, the first encounter ended with the city lord having a slight advantage.

An elderly man with white hair, wearing a mask and holding a wooden stick, slowly walked out. He stood in front of the city lord for a long time and said calmly, "You've grown up, and your wings have hardened!"

The city lord didn't even lift his eyelids, nor did he move his buttocks. He looked at the hourglass on the ground, just as the last grain of sand had fallen. He immediately pointed at the person in front of him and laughed, "Oh, this old woman, she even came out right on time!"

As he said this, he looked at the centurion, who immediately understood that this was the old woman the city lord had mentioned!

It turns out, the old woman was actually Master Bai!

It turns out that Master Bai is actually an old woman!

This was Bai Ye's first public appearance. Even though she was still wearing a mask, the mystery surrounding her quietly dissipated, and the fear she felt faded away. Many people even looked up and carefully examined Bai Ye, this old woman.

With his white hair and slightly hunched back, he could barely stand with the help of a wooden stick. He looked very ordinary and frail, as if he could fall over at any moment.

The centurion, who had initially been somewhat apprehensive, gradually calmed down. Relying on the city lord's backing, he took a large step forward and began to curse at Master Bai:

"You perverted old woman! You're tyrannical, devoid of humanity, and disregard for moral principles. For your own selfish desires, you wantonly slaughter the citizens of Yunyao City, torturing them through torture, mockery, and humiliation. You're worse than a monster! No, you are a monster! You're a super perverted monster!"

"Pah! 'Master Bai'? I think you're just a perverted old hag, a witch, a devil! This huge arena is a waste of space, you filthy thing don't deserve to live. Running an arena? You're not worthy! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!"

……

At first, Master Bai found it noisy and, considering his status, disdained to argue with such commoners. He only stared at the city lord in front of him, wanting to force him to submit with his eyes.

Unfortunately, as the centurion unleashed his furious barrage of words, the already agitated crowd joined in the verbal battle.

"You old hag, release my brother right now!"

"Release my wife! She trusted you, which is why she went to the arena to spend money. I never expected that you would detain her like this. She's barely alive now. What did you do to her?"

"Release him immediately! My beast husband is not a slave of your arena. If you dare to harm him, I will make you pay the price!"

……

At first, everyone was quite civilized, just shouting and cursing. But then someone threw out bloody entrails, followed by a lot of monster entrails, gnawed bones, monster heads, and even stones and wooden stakes picked up at random, all of which were thrown at Master Bai.

To avoid accidentally hurting the city lord's buttocks, the statue in the arena was finally removed.

However, Bai Ye, who was the target of the attack, was not so lucky.

Even though the people around her tried their best to protect her, a lot of filth still hit her, leaving her covered in dirt and a foul stench that she couldn't shake off.

She had finally fallen to earth, forced to confront this crowd. Her trembling finger pointed at them, "You unruly people, a bunch of unruly people!"

She then yelled at the security personnel, "Did I invite you here just to eat? A subject should die for his sovereign's honor! You know what to do!"

In an instant, the security personnel seemed to be injected with adrenaline, rushing forward with weapons and attacking anyone they saw, indiscriminately beating and slashing people, whether they had smashed things or were just bystanders.

Things happened so fast that no one, including the city lord and the guards, could react in time.

By the time they realized something was wrong and tried to stop it, several people had already been severely injured and were lying on the ground, barely alive.

"Men, seize this madwoman!" Seizing the opportunity, the city lord directly ordered the arrest of Master Bai.

Everyone thought that no matter how much trouble Master Bai caused, even if someone died in public, as long as he didn't damage the core of Yunyao City, the city lord, as one of the two unshakeable giants of Yunyao City, would choose to back down and maintain a superficial peace.

After all, this has been done many times in the past, not just many times in the past, but by successive city lords!

Therefore, when the city lord issued this order, the people, guards, and even Master Bai himself were all shocked.

Fortunately, thanks to the centurion's efforts in spreading the word before they arrived, the guards had already reached a consensus and were fully aware of Master Bai's crimes. Now, seeing the city lord's attitude, they had no doubt about the city lord's determination to punish Master Bai!

Therefore, after the initial shock, everyone acted quickly.

The security personnel resisted fiercely, including Master Bai's beastmen, all fighting desperately. Only Master Bai stared coldly at the city lord, "You're really crazy! I think your Kunpeng clan's reign as the city lord of Yunyao City is over!"

Unfortunately, the city lord dismissed her threat with a smile, saying, "You don't need to worry about the heritage of my Yunyao City, but the heritage of your arena, tsk tsk... it's definitely going to be cut off!"

"Qianqian! Qianqian is in your hands! No wonder I couldn't find her anywhere in the arena. You've taken her! Hand her over, and I'll let bygones be bygones!" Bai Ye was clearly flustered. Her withered hands gripped the wooden stick tightly, her fingertips turning white as she exerted force. Anger, tension, worry... all sorts of emotions intertwined, yet she kept them tightly hidden in her heart.

The city lord smiled without saying a word, his eyes full of meaning. In that brief moment, Bai Ye's men were ultimately outnumbered and defeated by the guards. Even Bai Ye himself was pinned to the ground with his hands behind his back.

The aloof, mysterious, and ruthless Master Bai was now pinned to the ground like a dead dog, persistently asking, "Where's Qianqian? Where is Qianqian?"

The city lord bowed and looked down at Master Bai with a smile. Suddenly, he spoke up, "Who is Qianqian? I don't know her. But I do see a mantis leg."

Bai Ye struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with deep terror. "Where is she? Where is she?"

The city lord stood up and beckoned to the centurion, "Take her to the scene for identification!"

The centurion nodded and, without any questioning, put Master Bai on the execution cart and paraded him through the streets toward the crime scene.

This is Kunhai's talent—sound control. He can freely control sound waves, not only controlling his own pronunciation but also changing the pronunciation of others.
