Chapter 1400: Chapter 1400: Piercing the Heavens
Tanshan City, City Lord Mansion!
"Clang clang clang!"
The Guard of the City Lord Mansion mobilized swiftly. These guards were all wearing bright armor.
The regular guards wore silver armor, while the captains wore gold armor.
At least the guards of the City Lord Mansion were high-level True God level martial artists. The captain-level needed Main God level combat power to qualify for the role.
Over a hundred armored guards lined up in front of a middle-aged martial artist clad in a blue robe. This person was a general in the City Lord Mansion, a Nine Tripods Main God Warrior.
In the entire Guard of the City Lord Mansion, there were only about twenty generals. Each held very high status.
"Depart! Seven Treasures Restaurant!" The general, expressionless, waved and commanded.
Just now, the City Lord Mansion received news that someone committed murder at the Seven Treasures Restaurant. The manager Mao Wen was killed.
Although Mao Wen was just a small character, committing murder publicly in a restaurant within the city was outrageous. The news also said the murderer was very strong; the ordinary True God Mao Wen was killed without any resistance or struggle.
Therefore, a general from the City Lord Mansion personally led over a hundred guards to the Seven Treasures Restaurant to capture the perpetrator.
Inside Seven Treasures Restaurant.
Mo Wei’s three companions were immobilized by the power of space law, barely able to move. Their eyes were already filled with terror.
They feared death, feared it desperately.
Typically, given their identity and background, even if they offended martial artists much stronger than themselves, the other party wouldn’t dare act against them. Especially within the city, it was even less likely anyone would dare attack them.
But now, the situation was different.
This Daoist couple of Gao Feng obviously did not care about their identities.
The smashed head of Mo Wei before them was the best proof. This person killed Mo Wei, so naturally, they could kill them too. They truly felt the terror of this person’s strength. The flowing power of law within the space suppressed them to the extent that even raising a hand was difficult.
At this moment, Jing Yan’s eyes turned to the three of them.
Being eyed by Jing Yan, the three trembled all over.
"You... you actually killed Brother Mo! Do you know what you’ve done?"
"Even if you’re strong, even if you’re a God Lord level powerhouse, you can’t escape after killing Brother Mo here!" One of them shouted sternly at Jing Yan.
Even now, he still threatened Jing Yan. These people were really arrogant, thinking their identities could solve any conflict.
Jing Yan laughed coldly.
"You three are friends with Mo Wei? It seems you aren’t good people either!" Jing Yan said slowly.
Hearing Jing Yan’s words, the three were horrified and struggled desperately to break free from the space law’s constraints.
These people indeed were evildoers, none was innocent.
"Killing you is also eliminating harm for the people!" Jing Yan shook his head slightly.
With a slight thought.
An invisible wave of energy invaded the bodies of the three.
The eyes of these three quickly lost focus, and their struggling bodies stopped moving.
After Jing Yan’s space law power dissipated, the bodies of the three collapsed.
The restaurant hall was now eerily silent.
The martial artists nearby looked incredulously at the scene before them; they couldn’t imagine that someone actually dared to kill Mo Wei in Tanshan City.
Yet the bodies on the ground forced them to believe that it was real. Tanshan City’s little tyrant Mo Wei was dead, Zhang Family’s Young Master was dead, and even young masters from other city families were dead in Tanshan City, inside Seven Treasures Restaurant.
"Quickly leave! Get out of here!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
The restaurant guests finally reacted, realizing they needed to leave this place immediately. As the first person rushed towards the door, the others also desperately tried to get out.
But these people didn’t succeed.
The guards clad in armor streaming in blocked them harshly, forcing them back to their original positions with ugly expressions.
The leader entering was the blue-robed general, a Nine Tripods Main God.
Upon entering, his gaze first swept around, then fixed on the bodies on the ground. Immediately, his face changed upon recognizing Liu Family’s Young Master.
The Liu Family in Tanshan City was also a very large family. Although slightly weaker than the Mo Family overall, it was still first-class power.
There were no signs of life on Liu Family’s Young Master, evidently dead.
The general’s heart sank. He had initially thought it was just the restaurant manager named Mao Wen who was killed, but here he found Liu Family’s Young Master dead too.
This was clearly a major event, a significant issue for Tanshan City. If handled poorly, it could cause citywide chaos.
He inhaled sharply.
"Who’s the perpetrator?" Although he asked aloud, his gaze was already fixed on Jing Yan.
Jing Yan was closest to the bodies, appearing most like the perpetrator.
"You’re wrong, I’m not the perpetrator, rather eliminating harm for the people. These people are a scourge, they’re dead, but for many, it’s a good thing." Jing Yan smiled at the general.
Seeing these armored warriors, Jing Yan knew they should be the Guard from the City Lord Mansion of Tanshan City.
"You... you’re utterly audacious. Do you know who you’ve killed? That includes Liu Family’s Young Master! Do you know the Liu Family’s power?" The general glared at Jing Yan, pointing at one of the bodies.
"Liu Family’s Young Master? I didn’t know. Hmm, those with Mo Wei truly aren’t ordinary martial artists." Jing Yan frowned slightly, unconcerned.
"Young Master Mo Wei? Where is he?" The general’s gaze shifted, scanning the crowd, yet not seeing Mo Wei.
"Here!" Jing Yan pointed to the corpse with the shattered head.
Upon Jing Yan’s words, the general instinctively looked at Mo Wei’s corpse. He trembled all over, eyes turning red.
Honestly speaking, he had no fondness for Mo Wei and others, viewing them as the city’s tumors, individual scourges. But their backgrounds were too strong; even the City Lord Mansion found it difficult to impose direct bans.
The general’s mind repeated one thought: something truly big had happened.
The sky of Tanshan City was about to be pierced!
The Young Master of Mo Family, dead. The Young Master of Liu Family, dead!
This affair was beyond his capacity to resolve. Even the City Lord Zhao Tianmei would likely be troubled.
"You’ve caused great trouble!" The general inhaled again, looking at Jing Yan, "Now, come with us to the City Lord Mansion!"
