Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 123 - 123 123 Melee

123: Chapter 123: Melee 123: Chapter 123: Melee “Stop!”

Before Tian Yu and his people could advance to make their arrest, Gu Dingtian, his face seething with anger, had already positioned himself in front of Tian Yu and the others.

His gaze fixed upon Ye Xuan from across the distance, expressing extreme fury.

“You Wu’an Office people have some nerve, daring to cause trouble here, in the presence of Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion.”

As Gu Dingtian bellowed in rage, a large number of Ancient Martial Artists appeared behind him, with several Innate experts emanating a fierce aura.

The two groups were now in a complete standoff.

Clearly, Gu Dingtian didn’t take the Wu’an Office seriously at all.

He glared at Ye Xuan and said, “Ye Xuan, I sent for you before, and not only did you refuse to give the face of Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion, but you also crippled my men.

I haven’t settled this account with you yet, and now you dare come bullying to our doorstep?

Do you really think the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion has no one capable left?”

“Hmph, Wu’an Office is too arrogant, not engaging mutants in battle but rather framing and accusing us.

Today’s matter won’t end here; I will file a complaint with the Ministry of Justice, and you will surely answer for abusing your power.”

“Indeed, although we are merely merchants, for the Wu’an Office to bully us like this is simply too much.”

As various calls for action against Wu’an Office rose, Tian Yu’s face turned pale, realizing that the situation had escalated.

Not only had the Wu’an Office now offended the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion, but they had also alienated the entire business elite.

If today’s events were reported to higher authorities, they would likely face severe punishment.

Shick!

A streak of blood crossed the sky, accompanied by the hum of Sword Qi, as a spray of bright red blood splashed out.

One of the most vocal merchants had been cut in two, collapsing into a cold corpse on the ground, instantly plunging the charity banquet into deathly silence.

Step—Step—Step.

Ye Xuan slowly walked forward, the three-foot Blood Sword in his hand chill and grim.

He cast a sinister look over the gathered crowd, his voice cold and harsh, “Under all the heavens, all the land is the King’s, and along the edges of the land, all are the King’s subjects.

Wu’an Office is an important instrument of Xia Country, with the authority to execute first and report after.

If anyone else speaks out of turn, this will be your fate.”

Hiss!

The sound of sharp intakes of breath echoed throughout, as those present unconsciously backed away, their looks toward Ye Xuan filled with fear.

Killing without a word of disagreement, showing no reason at all—this was the stance that Ye Xuan presented, how could it not terrify everyone there?

“Ye Xuan!”

Gu Dingtian’s eyes nearly burst with rage as he bellowed at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s upfront killing not only disrespected Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion but also, was a direct slap in the face of Gu Dingtian himself.

How could he not be outraged?

“Today, Gu is here, and I’d like to see how you’ll take anyone away.” Gu Dingtian waved his hand grandly, and behind him, numerous Martial Artists exhibited a terrifying aura, with several Innate experts taking a step forward, their gazes toward Tian Yu and the others filled with disdain.

“Ye…

Mr.

Ye…

they outnumber us…

and the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion was founded by Sword God…

perhaps we should…”

Tian Yu suggested with a lowered voice, evidently wary.

“Hmph!”

Ye Xuan let out a cold snort as he looked at Tian Yu, a flicker of disappointment crossing his eyes.

Ye Xuan would never have imagined that in just half a year, the Wu’an Office would become so weak.

Was this the same national instrument he used to know?

Although Tian Yu spoke quietly, his words nonetheless reached the ears of Gu Dingtian, prompting him to smile disdainfully and say, “Ye Xuan, I would advise you to leave the way you came.

I shall overlook today’s events.

Otherwise, if Sword God learns of this, he will not let the matter rest.”

“Haha.”

The mocking tones in Gu Dingtian’s words immediately provoked abundant laughter, which clearly turned Tian Yu and the others red with humiliation.

The Wu’an Office, once held in such high esteem, now faced humiliation from Gu Dingtian.

Even individuals like Tian Yu, noted for their good temper, felt full of rage at this moment.

A cold smirk formed at the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth; his eyes, deep and profound, turned towards Tian Yu and the others, and he said, “Do you see?

This is the current state of the Wu’an Office.

If you want to retreat, you can do so now, but I must tell you that after today, the Wu’an Office will also become a laughingstock.”

“Damn it.”

The leader of the Hong Group was a hot-tempered man and a staunchly spirited one at that.

He couldn’t stand Gu Dingtian’s ridicule and saluted Ye Xuan with a cupped fist, his face flushing red as he said, “Mr.

Ye, my members of the Hong Group are at your disposal to command; we will not retreat an inch.”

“We feel the same way.”

As humans, who doesn’t have a temper, let alone those from the Wu’an Office?

As numerous leaders and guest elders responded one after another, an eerie smile appeared on Ye Xuan’s face, and his voice low, he said, “Those who violently resist the law, kill.

Those who refuse to confess their guilt, kill.

Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“The Wu’an Office is handling the case; bystanders, step back.”

With a growling shout from Tian Yu, he signaled the crowd to start making arrests, which slightly changed Gu Dingtian’s expression.

He had not expected Ye Xuan to have such influential power within the Wu’an Office.

“Today, I want to see just who you can catch.

Stop them for me!”

Now that all pretenses had been dropped, Gu Dingtian had no reservations.

With a large wave of his hand, his backup, many martial artists with ferocious smiles, rushed towards the people of the Wu’an Office.

Bang!

The air exploded with the sound, swords and sabers crossed in the sky, and the two groups instantly clashed, turning the entire charity banquet into a battlefield.

Cries of battle, roars of anger, the clashing of metal, the touching of sword and saber, many merchants screamed, and the more faint-hearted crawled under tables, fearing for their lives.

At this moment!

Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and undisturbed.

He had no intention of taking action; he simply watched the two groups fight as if it were a child’s play.

In reality, Ye Xuan didn’t need to go to such trouble, with his cultivation and methods, he could wipe out these martial artists of the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion in the blink of an eye.

Under his extreme measures, all these mortals would kneel and bow their heads.

But Ye Xuan did not act, nor did he want to.

Because Ye Xuan was well aware of one thing: if he personally attended to everything, then what use would there be for the people of the Wu’an Office?

What was the point of creating the Netherworld?

Moreover, Ye Xuan didn’t come to this place to simply trouble the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion.

As for these so-called merchants, he didn’t give them a second thought.

Ye Xuan was here to find the man with the ghostly face; that was his true purpose.

As for these minor figures, naturally, Tian Yu and the others would deal with them.

If they required Ye Xuan’s personal action for such trifles, he might as well consider them worthless.

The two sides fought fiercely, but the Wu’an Office was clearly at a disadvantage.

After all, there was only one Innate Martial Artist, Tian Yu, in the Wu’an Office, while the opponent had three Innate experts.

Even though Xue Ji, a “demon” situated in the Foundation Establishment Realm, had already broken through to Innate according to her Cultivation Realm, she dared not reveal her true strength.

Doing so would expose her identity.

While Ye Xuan watched indifferently, a figure caught his attention.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he leisurely walked towards this individual.
