Chapter 622: The Consequences of Sparing the Rod
[Then what?] Yu Chang asked.
[We are in a restaurant. We will implicate innocent people if we fight here.] Jiang Xing said.
[Xiaoxing is right. We can’t implicate innocent people.] Jiang Han said.
[What should we do if we don’t fight?]
[Let’s follow them to the city lord’s residence. We can fight them there if things don’t work out.]
[The city lord’s residence has a level five defensive formation. What if we are trapped?] Su Meihui asked.
[Don’t worry about the formation.] Yu Chang smiled, and Su Meihui looked at him with a curious expression.
However, Yu Chang didn’t explain.
Instead, he looked at Duan Juan and several guards.
"Are you the ones who injured the young city lord?" One of the black-clothed cultivators asked.
"Why ask the obvious?" Yu Chang asked, tilting his head to the right.
When he received the answer, the black-clothed cultivator was surprised.
However, he soon regained his composure and sneered.
"Will you voluntarily follow us to the city lord’s residence, or will we have to force you?" He asked.
"We will voluntarily follow." Yu Chang smiled, and the black-clothed man was again surprised.
After all, the nine people beat the young city lord and refused to be arrested.
’Is there a conspiracy or...’ The man thought, but a loud laughter interrupted his thoughts.
"Now you know I am powerful." Duan Juan shouted.
"Unfortunately, it’s too late. You have already offended me. I won’t let you go."
"Yes, yes, you won’t let us go." Yu Chang agreed in a bored voice.
However, Duan Juan didn’t realise he was drunk on his own importance.
When he heard Yu Chang’s words, the man snorted, turned around, and led the way out of the restaurant.
Seeing this, Jiang Han smiled and led his group to follow the young city lord.
Outside the restaurant, the spectators shook their heads and sighed.
"They have been arrested." Someone said.
"No one can resist the power of the city lord."
"Look at how the young city lord has been injured. Those few will likely encounter a disaster."
"They shouldn’t have resisted."
"Is it just me or..."
"How come those nine are still relaxed? Don’t they fear for their lives?"
"Maybe they are the kind who don’t shed tears until they see the coffin."
"They probably can’t come out if they enter the city lord’s residence."
"If they are going to die either way, they should have killed Duan Juan and eliminated harm for the people." Someone muttered.
"Don’t talk so loudly. What if they hear you?"
"I know, but aren’t you also thinking it?"
"Everyone is thinking it, but who dares to say it?"
"Those women are also in trouble. The young city lord will not treat them kindly."
"He may even give them to his guards after he is done with them."
"What evil did we do to deserve such a young city lord?"
At that, the spectators sighed and dispersed.
Soon after, Yu Chang, Jiang Xing, and the rest were escorted into the city lord’s residence.
However, before the nine could be taken to the dungeon, a woman came running towards them.
"Juan’er, how can you be so badly injured?" She cried while examining the young city lord.
"I am fine, mother." Duan Juan said, but the woman was not reassured.
"You..." She pointed at a guard and hurriedly continued.
"Find alchemist Dong and let him refine a hair-rejuvenating pill for Juan’er."
"Yes." The guard nodded and hurried away from the group.
"Juan’er, mother will avenge you." Bai Nan said and called her personal guards.
"Drag them to the city gate." She started with a vicious look.
"Strip them, hang them on the city gate and whip them until they don’t have a good piece of skin left. You must let everyone see what happens to those who dare to harm my son."
’No wonder the young city lord is so arrogant.’ Jiang Xing thought, her eyebrows creased in a frown.
At the same time, a group of black-clothed guards surrounded the nine, ready to drag them to the city gate.
However, before they could, Duan Juan stopped them.
"Mother, these three are my new concubines." He said, pointing at Jiang Xing, Su Meihui, and Yu Xiaoqi.
"You can punish the men, but my concubines cannot be injured."
Hearing this, Bai Nan frowned.
A moment later, she narrowed her eyes but agreed to her son’s request.
’I will deal with them later.’ She thought, waving her hand to let her guards capture the men.
"When you spare the rod, the child really grows into a disgusting pig." Yu Xiaoqi muttered.
Unfortunately, Bai Nan was a core formation realm cultivator.
Although Yu Xiaoqi spoke in a low voice, Bai Nan clearly heard her.
When Bai Nan thought of the girl’s words, her eyes turned red, and her aura rose.
"Bitch, what did you say?" She questioned.
At the same time, she raised her hand, and a big palm appeared in the sky.
Seeing the palm, Yu Xiaoqi reacted and wanted to roll away.
However, she was only an origin forging realm cultivator.
Facing the coercion of a core formation realm cultivator, she couldn’t move and could only watch as the palm fell towards her.
Fortunately, the coercion was only directed at Yu Xiaoqi.
When the remaining eight saw the girl was in danger, they immediately reacted.
Jiang Xing threw a stack of level-three talismans.
Yu Chang tried to block the falling palm with a flaming palm of his own.
Lin Feng drew his sword and tried to block the palm.
Su Meihui activated and threw a level three shield.
Three more also activated and threw their level three shields.
However, Bai Nan used her full strength to attack Yu Xiaoqi.
Although Jiang Xing and the rest successfully activated level three talismans and shields, they were ultimately level one and level two cultivators.
Because of this, they didn’t have enough qi to unleash the full power of the talismans and shields.
Most importantly, Bai Nan was a level four cultivator.
Although the talismans, shields, and other attacks stalled her palm, they didn’t stop the attack.
Seeing this, Jiang Han narrowed his eyes.
A moment later, he simultaneously activated three killing formation disks.
