Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Who are the people in the car?

The tall, thin man in black, having been rebuffed, stopped arguing and instead asked sternly.

"Why should I tell you!"

Despite the relentless pressure from the four men, the driver was drenched in sweat, and the steel knife he gripped tightly trembled slightly due to his disordered internal energy.

Just as the driver and the four men were locked in a standoff, soldiers guarding the city thirty paces ahead noticed the commotion and quickly signaled their patrol to come towards them. The captain of the guard, leading his men, rushed over, shouting:

"Who dares to cause trouble here!"

However, even ten feet away, their figures seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and they could no longer move forward even half a step.

Immediately afterwards, the team members behind them were also blocked in place and unable to move.

"A swarm of ants!"

The tall, thin figure glanced at the soldier he was blocking outside and said dismissively.

Just then, a cold shout suddenly came from a hundred feet behind the tall, thin, dark figure:

"What do you think Yuancheng is? Does anyone dare to run wild here?"

Before the words were finished, a figure suddenly appeared on the roof of a building less than ten feet away from the tall, thin, dark figure. This person was dressed in a long black robe, with a slender figure and white hair and beard, like an immortal descending to earth.

Standing on the rooftop, Master Long stretched out his hand and waved it downwards, sending an invisible burst of internal energy sweeping across the carriage below. The driver standing on the carriage immediately felt a change in the surrounding atmosphere, and the oppressive aura pressing down on him vanished without a trace.

"Heh, just because a Heavenly Rank old man has arrived, he acts like he's something special! I'm so scared!"

The tall, thin, dark-skinned figure spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"what about me?"

An old man, also dressed in a black robe and with white hair and beard, suddenly appeared on the opposite city wall.

"So what if two of you came? Do you think that will keep us here?"

The shadowy figure's expression immediately changed, but he still stubbornly spoke coldly.

"One peak third-level Heavenly Rank and three first-level Heavenly Ranks, that's quite a lineup. It's just a pity you've come to the wrong place!"

Suddenly, a group of people dressed in dark blue tight-fitting clothes rushed out from the city streets. Each of them carried a demon-slaying crossbow and had a black iron treasure on their back. At the leader's signal, the group quickly spread out in all directions, surrounding the area within a hundred feet.

Each team member possesses strength at or above the fifth level of the Earth Rank.

Although they cannot compare to a Heavenly Rank expert in a one-on-one fight, the situation is quite different when hundreds of people are holding Demon-Slaying Arrows and aiming at a single Heavenly Rank expert.

Seeing so many Falconers wielding Demon-Slaying Arrows suddenly appear on the street and surround them, the other three men in black with the tall, thin figure hurriedly retreated and stood together with him, the four of them forming a defensive formation.

After the Falcon team had all set up their formation, several more figures appeared on the street.

A young man wearing a golden mask walked at the front, followed by four old men dressed in black robes and a middle-aged man in a white robe.

Among the four people following behind the boy, all dressed in black robes, there were three at the second level of the Heavenly Rank and one at the first level of the Heavenly Rank.

Upon seeing this lineup, the three Heavenly Rank Level 1 experts standing beside the tall, thin, dark figure couldn't help but feel regretful. It seemed that escaping today would be a difficult task.

Upon seeing this, the tall, thin man in black involuntarily took a half step back, but still forced a show of force and said:

"So what if there are many of you? You're all facing death, yet you still show no remorse! Lord Tianxun has arrived here today, so prepare to become wandering ghosts! Heh heh!"

"Lord Sky Patrol? So what if he's Lord Sky Patrol? What does our business have to do with him?"

He's not your servant. Do you think you can intimidate us by bringing out some high-ranking official like the Heavenly Patrolman? Do you think you can act with impunity in Shangyuan City?

Su Yangyan, standing next to Mo Yuming, spoke loudly.

"I'll give you ten breaths to decide whether you want to live or die. If you want to live, immediately cripple your martial arts, and I'll spare your lives! If you want to die, bring it on!"

Mo Yuming shouted loudly.

The four men in black stood close together. Although they were all experts at the Heavenly Rank, they still couldn't help but show rare fear when facing an absolutely powerful opponent.

Time passed second by second, and in the blink of an eye, ten breaths had passed, and as expected, no one agreed to Mo Yuming's request to release the animals.

As a master of the Heavenly Rank, he had already experienced countless life-and-death trials during his growth, so his temperament was naturally quite stable. He would never consider using the method of crippling his martial arts to preserve his life.

Just as Mo Yuming was about to give the order to start the war, an extremely luxurious carriage sped towards them from the street in the distance.

The carriage sped along, veering wildly and stopping right next to the four men in black. The door opened, and a short, middle-aged man in a magnificent robe stepped out.

Standing on the car, the man arrogantly surveyed the surroundings before slowly saying:

"What are they doing? Trying to kill me to cover their tracks?"

"Your Excellency, not only did they help the remnants of the criminal clan escape, but they also tried to surround and kill us to silence us!"

The tall, thin figure was overjoyed at the sight and immediately perked up. He darted to the middle-aged man's side and spoke in a humble voice.

"Is that so? You actually dare to openly defy the orders of the Feather Emperor's Palace and assist the remnants of the sinful race! Who gave you such audacity?"

The short, middle-aged man, with his hands on his hips, looked arrogantly at the crowd and spoke.

"Your Excellency, I am the local official. I have failed to greet you properly upon your arrival, which is truly my dereliction of duty."

I beg Your Excellency's forgiveness! The so-called assistance to the escape of the criminals is purely a frame-up by this scoundrel; the facts he claims are entirely fabricated!

We have never seen any members of the Sinners Clan, nor have we heard of any remnants of them! We would never help any Sinners Clan! We implore Your Excellency to investigate thoroughly!

Su Yangyan quickly walked to the middle-aged man's side and said in a humble yet respectful manner.

"The evidence is irrefutable, and you've been caught red-handed. You still want to deny it!"

The tall, thin man in black immediately jumped up, made a delicate gesture with his fingers, and screamed loudly.

At this moment, a middle-aged, burly man stepped out from behind Mo Yuming and said to the tall, thin man in black:

"Eunuch, so it's you, you eunuch! Did Wu Ji mess up your chrysanthemum? You still dare to come here and cause trouble? You were lucky to escape last time, but you still dare to come here and do such despicable things. You're a pervert who doesn't know what's good for you!"

"You shameless Ge Zhuang, you fickle opportunist! The Marquis treated you so well! Yet you betrayed him at the last minute and still have the nerve to talk about me. You're utterly shameless!"

Pao Gonggong took off the black hat covering his head like he was throwing away trash and threw it on the ground, revealing a face more feminine than a woman's. He stretched out his delicate, orchid-like fingers and loudly cursed at Ge Zhuang.

"Wu Ji harbors evil intentions, protects criminals, and is corrupt, oppresses the people, bullies men and women, and commits all kinds of evil. I was blind to follow her and was deceived and misled by you villains. Fortunately, I discovered Wu Ji's crimes in time and was able to escape that hellhole and see the light of day again."

Ge Zhuang, not to be outdone, retorted loudly.
