69 -66: Who Can Fight to Such an Extent with That Person?

“Greetings to my eldest sister-in-law, second brother, and ninth brother!”

Shen Yuyan dashed forward to pay his respects.

Upon seeing the Shen Family’s Second Elder, Shen Yiyun, his heart eased somewhat, relieved that his superiors hadn’t lost their heads in anger and had the sense to send Second Elder Shen to stabilize the situation.

Murong Yunji and Old Jiu merely gave Shen Yuyan a cursory glance before falling silent, as neither of them could actually recognize who he was.

The patriarch of the Shen Family was hale and hearty, fathering no small number of children.

If one were to consult the Shen Family genealogy, there would be at least a thousand names listed, but among the families of magicians, only those who inherited a certain technique could be regarded as the direct lineage and granted a separate household.

Over the years, the Shen Family had established only twelve such households.

Of course, Old Jiu could identify who Old Ten and Old Eleven were, but he had no interest in recognizing the likes of Shen Yuyan, who didn’t rank high enough to matter.

While Old Jiu and Murong Yunji were distant, Shen Yiyun was quite enthusiastic.

“Ah, if it isn’t Yuyan,” Second Elder Shen said with a chuckle.

“How’s business?”

Being addressed by his name by Second Elder lifted Shen Yuyan’s spirits immensely, and he quickly reported back, “Thanks to Second Brother’s good fortune, the business at our trade office has been consistently good, especially since we changed to the Eastern Sea route last year.”

“And what about Lyuzhou?”

“Lyuzhou’s business is also thriving.

Recently, many merchants have heard about the tax exemption in Lyuzhou, and the number of people coming has been increasing.

Although it’s not yet as booming as it once was, the volume of goods isn’t bad at all.

Moreover, since we arrived early and acquired more goods, the profits are estimated to be as good as last year’s this month.”

“Very well,” Shen Yinian nodded.

“You’ve always been clever since you were young, and even if you were unlucky not to learn the arts, you could still make yourself useful in other fields.

Don’t lose heart, work hard, and next year, I’ll secure a spot for your child in the academy of techniques.”

Hearing this, Shen Yuyan was so excited that he trembled all over, his voice tinged with a sobbing tone, “Thank you, Second Brother!”

In the Shen Family, those who had established households of the direct lineage had significant authority, a stark contrast to the eliminated bastards.

Second Elder Shen, with his deep seniority, was the highest-ranking among the current generation of heads of the household, and his word was taken as law.

The Shen Family’s academy of techniques was coveted by many of the side branches.

With his child already four years old, reaching the age to start his education, he had tried many connections yet couldn’t secure a spot.

And now, the tables had turned unexpectedly.

“There are outsiders here, what kind of image are you presenting with all this crying?” Shen Yinian chuckled and patted the other’s shoulder.

“Come on, let’s go meet the new Prefectural Governor.”

“Eldest sister-in-law, shall we…” Shen Yinian turned around, only to find that Murong Yunji, who had been standing nearby just moments before, had vanished, causing his face to twitch.

“Ah, always so impulsive.”

The others also realized what had happened, noticing how that woman had disappeared so naturally under everyone’s watch.

If it weren’t for Shen Yinian’s sudden comment, nobody would have paid any attention.

“Let’s go, I’m also quite curious,” Weichi Feihong said with a grin as he walked ahead.

“Just what is the story with this new Magistrate.”

As the main group set off, the heads of a few other merchant houses quickly followed behind.

They had come from all corners of Tiannan to witness this uproar.

It wasn’t out of boredom, of course, but rather to see what this new Magistrate, who dared to challenge the Shen Family, was all about.

The outcome of this farce would determine their attitude toward him!

—————————————–

“Halt, soldiers ahead!”

The city gate Maozi gripped his sword handle tightly, bellowing sternly.

A mighty procession of armored soldiers approached the gate, led by Weichi Feihong and his men.

The surrounding caravans quickly made way when they sensed something amiss, watching as the towering City Guard Soldiers swaggered to the city front.

“General, please announce your position and name!”

Facing the imposing group led by Weichi Feihong, the City Guard Soldiers didn’t flinch at all, instead stepping forward with weapons in hand!

A group of veteran soldiers showed bloodthirsty grins upon seeing this.

They were already in a foul mood due to heavy losses at sea, and now they were being reprimanded by the City Guard Soldiers upon arrival.

What kind of greenhorns were these?

Did they dare to stop the soldiers of the Weichi Clan?

Weichi Feihong stepped forward expressionlessly, “Move aside!”

“The General will have to forgive us!” Maozi and his group showed no sign of backing down.

“As per the rules, no soldiers may enter the city without announcement!”

“Oh?”

Second Elder Shen’s eyes lit up from the back; these city guards seemed to have a noteworthy presence.

Weichi Feihong was taken aback too, and one of his Personal Soldiers frowned, stepping forward, “New soldiers?

Can’t recognize the Weichi Clan’s banner?”

“Every clan’s banner must be announced!”

“Heh!” The Personal Soldier sneered, reaching out to slap the rookie to teach him a lesson.

But as soon as the hand slapped out, the opponent’s reaction speed was extremely fast, and with a zipping sound, a bright flash of blade light shot past, a sweep of the blade light headed straight for the personal soldier who initiated the attack.

How dare he draw his blade?

A sinister smile flashed across the personal soldier’s face; the slapping hand instantly transformed into a claw, with veins bulging and green scales emerging on the claw, ready to grab the blade directly!

In the next instant, with a ripping sound and a flash of firelight, both men were shaken back by each other’s force.

Maozi stared dumbfounded at his own blade, which had been bent by the bare-handed smack, while his palm bled profusely.

Is this guy really that powerful with his bare hands?

The other personal soldier was also taken aback, looking at his right hand, where scales had been brutally sliced open, flesh turned inside out, and blood kept flowing.

This kid…

The surrounding personal soldiers couldn’t believe it.

They knew very well the strength of their captain, whose crocodile bloodline made his scales harder than plate armor, and his strength allowed him to snap the necks of some low-level demons with his bare hands!

And yet, he was wounded by a mere city guard soldier!

“Good soldier!” Weichi Feihong, who had been observing from the side, grinned, his face as gruesome as a centipede when he smiled, but his eyes displayed genuine admiration.

There were only a dozen or so soldiers on the city wall, standing there undaunted in front of their hundred men, especially when facing a group of hardened veterans who had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

He could smell that these soldiers had not been through war, but their capability and momentum were already enough to qualify as elites!

“Newly appointed Commander Weichi Feihong seeks an audience with the Magistrate, please go and report at once!”

The other soldiers were stunned—had their general just backed down?

Although they didn’t understand why, the general had spoken, and the other personal soldiers could only glower at the city guard soldiers.

Maozi and the others let out a sigh of relief, saluted, and said, “So it’s the Commander.

Our apologies for the earlier rudeness, please wait a moment, we will go to report immediately!”

But as soon as the words were out, a deafening noise suddenly came from within the city, like thunder on the ground, shaking the ground at the city gate slightly.

Ordinary people outside covered their ears and backed away, horses passing by got spooked and ran backward, instantly throwing everything outside the city gate into chaos!

What’s going on?

Maozi and the others looked back, alarmed, but as soon as they did, they were horrified to discover that the general who had just been speaking with them had vanished without a trace.

And the Shen family members had disappeared with him…

With no time to think, a group of soldiers hurriedly scrambled to restore order at the city gate.

Amidst the chaotic crowd, several business leaders glanced at each other, surprise in their eyes.

Has the fight started already?

“Let’s go take a look…” Ye, the head of the family, showed strong curiosity, “I’ve heard of the reputation of the matron of the Shen family.

It’s no surprise she started a fight, but what I’m curious about is…

who could fight with that person to such an extent?”

———————————–

Concerning the question that Ye, the head of the family, was curious about, Weichi Feihong and the Shen family members who had rushed into the city were also curious.

With their abilities, they could naturally sense that the terrible turbulence in the city came from the clash of two forces.

Could there really be someone in Lyuzhou capable of contending with Murong Yunji?

At full speed, the three of them arrived at the city center within a few breaths and saw the two people who were fighting.

As expected, one of them, causing such a commotion, was Murong Yunji.

At this moment, she was enveloped in a blue glow, her attire utterly different from before.

The fancy leather jacket she had worn had already shattered, and now she wore a black leather bodysuit, tight-fitting, revealing her explosive figure unobstructed.

But no one was in the mood to pay attention to that, for those who could see Murong Yunji’s figure clearly at this moment were experts like Weichi Feihong, and they were more concerned about her horrifying state.

“Second brother…” Old Jiu’s expression grew solemn.

Second Elder Shen also put away his smile, nodding slightly.

The revealing outfit Murong Yunji wore, known as the Wind King Armor, was made from the skin of heavenly demons, extremely resilient, capable of withstanding her Greedy Wolf Sorcery.

If this armor showed up, it meant…

That woman had gone all out!!
