Wu Shattered Star River

"City Lord Lan, please come out and give us an explanation!"

"Severely punish the murderer, Jiang Han must die!"

"If Jiang Han doesn't die today, we will never give up!"

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, it was still noisy. The number of people gathered had reached more than 10,000, and the nearby restaurants and eateries were packed. Countless torches illuminated the square as if it were daytime.

Feng Yun, along with a dozen commanders from Qingyi Peak, stood outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Beside her was the Second Peak Lord of Tiandao Peak, as well as an elder from the Lü family in the Celestial Realm and a Great Commander from Nixin Peak...

There were seven or eight Void Breaking Realm experts present, at least a hundred in the Celestial Realm, and countless in the Reincarnation Realm.

However...

The Ning family and the Ye Luo family surprisingly didn't send anyone. Star Pavilion and Eternal Night Palace did send a few commanders, but none of them were high-level members of the Ning or Ye families.

A group of powerful experts stood outside the city gate, not saying a word. The ones shouting were a group of small-time martial artists behind them.

These small-time martial artists dared to shout like this because they had been instructed to do so by these powerful experts.

Feng Yun and the others standing here represented an attitude!

"Creak~"

The gate of the City Lord's Mansion finally opened, and a team of Heavenly Chaos Army soldiers poured out in an orderly fashion. Then, He Ming led Gu Qingtian and eight other Void Breaking Realm experts out.

He Ming was still the same as before, hunched over, with white eyebrows and beard, leaning on a crane-shaped crutch, looking old and frail, as if half of his body was already in the grave.

However, no one present dared to underestimate He Ming. He Ming had been like this twenty years ago.

This Chief Steward of the City Lord's Mansion had been in Heavenly Chaos City for seventy or eighty years, having served the previous City Lord. His qualifications were very old.

As soon as He Ming came out, the entire place immediately fell silent. No one dared to shout.

He Ming slowly walked out, his old face appearing even older under the torchlight.

He expressionlessly swept his gaze across the entire scene. Everyone who met his gaze lowered their heads, and some even took the initiative to bow and salute.

"Have you made enough noise?"

He Ming scanned the area and said indifferently, "If you haven't made enough noise, then continue. If you have, then disperse!"

He Ming's words were light, but there was an invisible pressure. The entire place was silent, and many people subconsciously retreated a little.

Those onlookers shrank their heads and slowly retreated, indicating that they were just here to watch the excitement, not to make trouble.

Feng Yun and the others' expressions changed slightly. He Ming's words defined the matter as them making trouble here? And without giving any explanation, he wanted them to disperse?

How could Feng Yun and the others retreat just like that!

As the Peak Lord of Qingyi Peak and the Great Qingyi of Qingyi Palace, Feng Yun had the highest status and was not afraid of He Ming.

Immediately, she snorted coldly and said, "Chief Steward He, what does this mean? Are you saying that we are making trouble unreasonably? The corpse of Chunyu Yan, the young palace master of my Enchantress Palace, is still displayed at Qingyi Peak!"

A Great Commander from Nixin Pavilion gritted his teeth and cupped his fist, saying, "Chief Steward He, Tuoba Xiong, the nephew of my Pavilion Lord, was cruelly killed by Jiang Han. If Jiang Han is not executed, I will not be able to explain to the Pavilion Lord."

The Second Peak Lord of Tiandao Peak cupped his fist and said, "Chief Steward He, Jiang Han slaughtered so many people, his crimes are heinous. I hope the City Lord will uphold justice."

"Justice?"

He Ming sneered and said, "The truth of the matter is clear. Dozens of Reincarnation Realm experts, plus a dozen Celestial Realm experts, ambushed and tried to kill Jiang Han alone."

"A group of people ganging up on one person, but they were not skilled enough and were counter-killed by Jiang Han. What else is there to say? Is Jiang Han guilty, or are these dozens of people innocent?"

"哗~"

He Ming's words caused an uproar around him, especially among the onlookers, who didn't know the truth of the matter until now.

He Ming had a high reputation in Heavenly Chaos City, and his words were considered highly credible.

Ambush and attempted murder!

These two phrases defined the matter. A group of people ambushed and besieged Jiang Han, but were counter-killed by Jiang Han.

Then the fault was not with Jiang Han, because the mastermind was Chunyu Yan and the others, not Jiang Han's initiative to slaughter.

"Hehe!"

Feng Yun sneered and shook her head, saying, "Chief Steward He, everything should be based on evidence. The information we received was that a group of people went to Black Shark Island to seize treasures."

"Jiang Han suddenly appeared, monopolized the treasures, and caused a conflict. In the end, Jiang Han went mad and slaughtered wantonly. Ning Xie and Ye Luo were at the scene and can testify to this."

"哗~"

Feng Yun's words caused another commotion, and she even brought out witnesses. Ning Xie and Ye Luo were from prestigious families, and many people subconsciously thought they were credible.

Feng Yun was very clever to drag Ning Xie and Ye Luo into it, clearly trying to involve the two of them. This was equivalent to dragging Star Pavilion and Eternal Night Palace into the fray, with the three dominant forces jointly pressuring He Ming.

"Yes, that's right!"

"Young Master Jiang Ya was also there, and he personally witnessed the battle. Jiang Han seized treasures and killed people, he's heartless and insane!"

"Severely punish Jiang Han, he must be executed!"

People behind them shouted again, especially those from medium-sized families. How would they dare to confront He Ming on their own? Now that Feng Yun and the others were taking the lead, they naturally had to cheer and support them.

"Humph!"

He Ming snorted coldly, like thunder, causing countless people's eardrums to sting. The scene instantly quieted down.

A faint coldness appeared in He Ming's eyes, and he turned his gaze to Feng Yun, saying, "Feng Yun, you and I know the truth of the matter. There's no point in saying these things. I will definitely protect Jiang Han. I'll just ask you one question, will you retreat or not?"

Lan Lin had spoken, and He Ming was too lazy to waste words, directly confronting them head-on!

He Ming's words immediately made the atmosphere in the arena become oppressive and heavy. Gu Qingtian and the others circulated their Xuan Qi, and a faint killing intent was revealed, posing as if they might attack at any time.

The entire place was silent, and those onlookers quickly retreated. The people in the nearby restaurants, eateries, and inns shrank back, their eyes filled with fear.

Many of the thousands of people brought by Feng Yun and the others, especially the weaker martial artists, were tense, not daring to breathe. Some even felt their legs weaken and almost sat down on the ground.

Feng Yun and the seven or eight Void Breaking Realm experts had livid faces, and the hundreds of Celestial Realm experts beside them had flickering eyes, uneasy hearts, and nervously looked at Feng Yun and the others.

Countless eyes turned to Feng Yun, whose chest trembled slightly. She took a few breaths and asked in a deep voice, "What if... I don't retreat?"

The crane-shaped crutch in He Ming's hand lit up, and his killing intent soared to the sky. He took a step forward, and a terrifying aura pressed down like a landslide and tsunami.

He shouted, "Gathering to besiege the City Lord's Mansion is punishable by death according to Heavenly Chaos Iron Law! Heavenly Chaos Army, listen to the order - those who do not retreat within ten breaths will be killed without mercy!"

"Buzz~"

The rings on Gu Qingtian and the others' fingers all lit up, and weapons appeared in everyone's hands. The dozens of small commanders nearby, as well as thousands of Heavenly Chaos Army soldiers, also took out their weapons, their killing intent like a rainbow.

"咻咻咻~"

Countless figures flew out from the surrounding courtyards, all of them Heavenly Chaos Army soldiers wearing armor, totaling more than ten thousand.

These tens of thousands of Heavenly Chaos Army soldiers all took out a kind of black crossbow, the crossbow bolts locked onto the thousands of people in front of the City Lord's Mansion, the atmosphere of肅殺 permeated the entire city, like black clouds pressing down on the city, making people suffocate.

"Thump~"

More than a dozen people were frightened out of their wits, their legs weakened, and they knelt directly on the ground.

"Retreat--"

Dozens of people turned around and ran wildly to the back without any hesitation.

He Ming had issued a military order, this was not a joke. After ten breaths, the Heavenly Chaos Army would definitely wash the entire place with blood, leaving no one alive.
