Chapter 623: The City Lord Appears
After activating the formation disks, Jiang Han turned pale.
’It’s a little difficult to activate a level three formation disk, let alone three.’ He thought, removed a pill bottle from his space ring, and took a qi replenishing pill.
At the same time, Yu Chang and the rest were not idle.
Knowing level three formation disks could only contain a core formation realm cultivator for a short while, they also took qi replenishing pills.
"Yu Chang..." Jiang Xing called, and Yu Chang nodded.
Soon after, both released their self-defence puppets.
’We almost capsized in the gutter because we didn’t account for the qi pressure of a higher realm cultivator. We were too careless.’ Jiang Xing frowned.
While Jiang Xing and the rest recovered, Duan Juan and the guards reacted.
"You bastards...., what have you done to my mother?" He screamed.
However, none of the nine were in a position to care for the young master.
Seeing this, the guards paled.
At a loss, one stepped forward and looked at the young city lord with a solemn face.
"Young city lord, they have put the city lord’s wife in a formation disk." He said.
"How dare they do that to my mother?" Duan Juan shouted and directly kicked the guard.
"Hurry up and rescue my mother." He ordered.
When he heard this, Jiang Han smiled.
Soon after, he removed a formation disk from his left sleeve and threw it to Duan Juan.
"It’s a level three killing formation disk." A guard sighed in relief.
"Young city lord, you don’t have to worry. A level three killing formation is nothing to the city lord’s wife." Another said.
"The city lord’s wife will..." A guard started but soon paled, looking at the formation disk with a horrified face.
"Young city lord, hurry up and put the formation disk on the ground." The guard urgently instructed.
Unfortunately, his words were too late.
Before Duan Juan could figure out what was going on, a powerful force erupted from the formation disk, and the disk broke apart.
At the same time, a violent qi invaded his hands and transmitted to every inch of his body.
A moment later, Duan Juan screamed and fell to the ground.
"Young city lord." The guards were horrified.
’It’s over. The city lord will never let us go.’ They thought with despondent expressions.
At this time, a furious voice resounded in the area, and everyone turned to look.
"What happened to my son?" Bai Nan questioned, her body covered in unconcealable murderous intent.
"This..." The guards didn’t know what to say.
However, Yu Chang wasn’t as speechless.
With a mocking smile, he intently glanced at the woman before he spoke.
"You happened to your son." He said.
"What do you mean?" Bai Nan angrily asked.
"We kindly gave the formation disk to the young city lord. Unexpectedly, you violently broke out and harmed your son." Yu Chang said, looking at the woman with a reproachful expression.
Hearing this, Bai Nan was momentarily shocked, but she wasn’t stupid.
How can the people be so generous as to give the formation disk to her son?
It was clearly a conspiracy!
Unfortunately, her son didn’t realise it in time and was accidentally injured.
Thinking of this, Bai Nan gritted her teeth and clenched her hands.
However, she soon regained her composure and hurriedly checked her son’s condition.
A moment later, she sighed in relief and fed him a rejuvenation pill.
’He is seriously injured, but he will be fine.’ She thought, and a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes.
Soon after, Bai Nan stood up and glared at the nine.
"You bastards have crossed the line." She spoke through gritted teeth.
"You are the ones who have crossed the line." Su Meihui retorted.
When she thought of everything that happened, she couldn’t help but be angry.
After all, she and her friends were innocently having lunch when an inexplicable disaster befell them.
When something like this happened, no one could smile and let it go.
"The young city lord looks like that, and, understandably, female cultivators would not willingly agree to him. However, there are many brothels in Tianqi city. Why does the young city lord insist on forcing unwilling women?"
When these words fell, everyone was shocked.
Even Jiang Xing and the rest couldn’t believe the usually well-behaved Su Meihui said such words.
"Sister Su..." Yu Xiaoqi called in a shocked voice.
"What?" Su Meihui snorted.
’She has snapped.’ Yu Chang thought, his lips twitching in amusement.
"You bitch!" Bai Nan cursed and soon continued.
"It’s your blessing that my son has taken an interest in you. How dare you not appreciate it?"
"Whoever wants such a blessing can have it. I certainly don’t want it." Su Meihui carelessly shrugged, and Bai Nan could no longer tolerate her.
A moment later, a familiar palm appeared in the sky.
However, the nine had long learned their lesson.
Before the palm could fully form, a nascent soul realm pressure fell on the woman.
"Who?" Bai Nan panicked and used her spiritual sense to scan the surroundings.
Finally, her eyes fell on two people.
After she broke out of the formation disk, Bai Nan noticed the two additional people.
However, the two didn’t have a threatening Qi presence, so she dismissed them as low-realm cultivators.
Unexpectedly, the two were not low realm cultivators but nascent soul realm cultivators who were hiding their aura.
After figuring it out, Bai Nan was horrified.
’No wonder these bastards are so arrogant.’ She clenched her hands into fists.
’What kind of family sends two nascent soul realm cultivators to protect its youngsters?’
As Bai Nan tried to think of a solution to the current situation, a man flew over.
This man was Duan Quan, the city lord of Tianqi city.
"City lord." The guards bowed.
"What happened here?" The city lord asked in a gloomy voice.
Originally, Duan Quan was playing with his new concubine when he felt the coercion of a nascent soul realm cultivator.
If it was another level cultivator, Duan Quan wouldn’t bother showing up.
After all, his wife and several elders were core formation realm cultivators and could handle trivial matters.
Unfortunately, a nascent soul realm cultivator was not a trivial matter.
Most importantly, using his spiritual sense, Duan Quan couldn’t find the culprit who released the coercion.
"City lord..." A guard called but didn’t know where to start.
Ordinarily, they would blame the victim.
However, the current victims were not ordinary people.
If the guards dared to casually blame them, they feared they would not have a good end.
"What happened to my son?" Duan Quan asked in an angry voice.
Hearing the question, the guards sighed in relief.
’This is an easy one.’ They thought.
"The young city lord was accidentally injured when the city lord’s wife broke the formation disk." The leading guard revealed.
"What formation disk?"
"The city lord’s wife was trapped in a killing formation disk and the young city lord happened to be holding the disk when the madam broke out."
When the city lord heard this, his face became darker, and he glared at his wife.
"Madam, what is going on?" He asked, and Bai Nan sighed.
After that, she briefly explained the situation, including the two nascent soul realm cultivators.
When he heard the truth, the city lord stared at the nascent soul realm cultivators and narrowed his eyes.
Like his wife, he could not see the two people’s cultivation or feel their aura.
However, he believed his wife’s judgement.
Although Bai Nan was a troublemaker, she was not brainless.
Since she said the two people were nascent soul realm cultivators, they probably were.
Thinking of this, Duan Quan sneered.
"The two fellow Taoists seem to have broken the agreed pact between nascent soul realm cultivators." He said.
"City lord Duan is mistaken." Jiang Xing stepped forward.
Seeing the girl and hearing her words, Duan Quan frowned.
"Little girl, a qi transformation realm cultivator has no place in this conversation." He said, but Yu Chang sneered in disdain.
"City lord Duan seems to think these two are human." Yu Chang said, pointing at the puppets.
"What do you mean?" Duan Quan asked.
"These two are puppets and don’t need to follow the pact between nascent souls."
When they heard this, Duan Quan, Bai Nan, and several guards were extremely shocked.
"Puppets?" Duan Quan muttered but soon shook his head.
"How is that possible?"
"Old Qi is the best puppet master in the Cangxing world. But not even he can refine such a puppet." The city lord said.
"City lord, there is another thing." Bai Nan said, and everyone turned to look at her.
"What is it?" Duan Quan asked.
"Puppets are not human. How can they have coercion?" She asked, and the city lord couldn’t help but frown.
However, this was not the time to get to the bottom of the matter.
Regardless of whether the two were puppets, they were Nascent soul realm cultivators.
From an obvious standpoint, Duan Quan was outnumbered.
