It was already a special period, and now someone had smashed open the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and rushed in. It was no wonder people were frightened.
The City of Ascension was not what it used to be. Everyone was scared, seeing enemies in every shadow. No one felt safe anymore.
So, when something happened that startled them, their reactions were quite dramatic.
As soon as Liu Chan smashed the gate, someone immediately shouted in panic, looking like they were trying to escape.
Because of the shouting, everyone knew something had happened at the City Lord's Mansion; an attack was underway.
The City Lord's Mansion was thrown into chaos. Everyone grabbed their weapons, ready to defend it.
City Lord Chu Dong, who was still recovering from his injuries, was also greatly alarmed by the commotion.
However, it wasn't dark yet. Why would someone attack him now?
The City Lord's injuries were about seventy to eighty percent healed. If it weren't for the arrival of that ghostly entity, he wouldn't have been afraid.
Chu Dong directly opened the main gate and flew out.
Seeing their City Lord emerge, everyone felt a bit more secure. After all, when disaster struck, there was always someone taller to bear the brunt, and the City Lord was that person.
They all gathered behind Chu Dong and respectfully called out, "City Lord."
"What's going on?" Chu Dong frowned, looking at the crowd and asking.
"City Lord, someone smashed the mansion's gate and rushed in with others," one person quickly reported.
Upon hearing his subordinate's answer, Chu Dong felt a sense of relief.
This wasn't the work of a ghostly entity. As long as it was done by a person, it didn't mean they were there to cause trouble.
If it was the act of a human, there was no need to be afraid.
"Is this because they think Chu Dong is still heavily injured? I'd like to see who dares to be so presumptuous in my mansion, smashing my gates. If I don't get an explanation today, this matter won't be easily dismissed."
Chu Dong declared confidently to his subordinates, boasting to stabilize everyone's morale and project an imposing presence.
If a conflict were to break out, having a high morale could provide a significant advantage.
"City Lord, they're here."
As soon as Chu Dong finished speaking, Xia Feng, leading several women, walked in.
They had passed through unimpeded. Not a single person had tried to stop or resist them.
Perhaps due to the recent frights, everyone had become jumpy, and no one dared to step forward.
Chu Dong narrowed his eyes, looking at the man and five women approaching.
Were these the ones who smashed his gate?
And there was a woman in the mid-stage of Saint Venerable realm? That was it?
Chu Dong's face instantly turned ashen with anger. He truly wasn't being treated like a person.
Or were they bullying him because he was heavily injured, planning to show off their power?
Or perhaps they had their eyes on his position as City Lord?
After seeing who had arrived, Chu Dong pointed at Xia Feng, who was walking at the front, and shouted, "If I don't get a satisfactory outcome today, none of you will leave here."
Xia Feng had come to ask about something, and there was no need to hide his strength. He directly revealed his power.
Chu Dong hadn't noticed at first, but then he felt a terrifying aura emanating from Xia Feng. He looked closely.
The more he looked, the more he almost passed out from shock.
Saint Emperor Great Perfection!!!
Those words echoed incessantly in Chu Dong's mind.
He had never dared to imagine the words "Saint Emperor Great Perfection," let alone see one in person.
Now, seeing a super-strong expert at Saint Emperor Great Perfection standing before him, he was completely stunned.
(⊙o⊙)…
Chu Dong dared not move. He had just threatened Xia Feng.
Chu Dong kept swallowing nervously, his open mouth closing again.
Xia Feng didn't beat around the bush. He looked directly at the dazed Chu Dong and slowly said,
"I will ask, and you will answer. Understand?"
