Chapter 154: Re-entering the Frontier City

"Don't just keep your mind on your own little plot of land!"

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Gao Feng spoke thus to the gloomy Tang Yiping.

"Do you realize that this time, an opportunity to shine was given to Patrol Guard Du!"

"I have generally verified that Patrol Guard Du's performance this time was compliant, and he even issued a warning to you in advance. If we really get down to it, among all those people of yours in the outer city, he is the only one who has merit and no fault this time!"

Tang Yiping had nothing to say to this and could only remain sullen and silent.

Old City Lord Yang Feng, having heard this, only then appeared to suddenly realize: "Chief Steward Gao, are you actually trying to talk about that Great Cultivator Yun Yi? This Patrol Guard Du sounds like he has ties over there; hmm, the ninth disciple who came last time?"

"Exactly so! The disciples of that Great Cultivator fight very fiercely among themselves. If we really let them get involved and affect this place, I fear it will be very difficult to end things peacefully. Moreover, if we take the liberty of speculating further, whether that person wants to use this opportunity to get a foothold in Nanmo, it is actually not impossible."

The city gates were wide open, with people coming and going.

Unsurprisingly, in the following time, this news would spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred, soon spreading throughout the entire shanty area outside the city, triggering a series of shocks.

"However..."

Tang Yiping finally spoke gloomily.

Yang Feng stroked his beard, thinking of another loophole.

Of course, because of this incident, wanting to continue competing with Gao Feng for the position of Vice City Lord was clearly not very possible...

After all, now that He Bo was dead, there was no need to continue being coy or secretive over there; they could directly call up the dozens of people for corpse transport, or even call up the rest of the personnel from the corpse affairs department.

Such vulgar exclamations also caused the busy supervisors to be surprised, and after making some associations, each of them felt a jolt in their hearts.

In Steward Shi's heart, one surprise followed another, and he stood there completely stunned.

"It was just a simple imprisonment, nothing more was done, and it is also a pity that nothing more was done."

"How long has it been? Two years? No, less than two years? How is he cultivating faster and faster?!"

The three of them continued to discuss the details.

The structure of Nanmo City was a standard 'Hui' character-shaped city, with an outer city wall and an inner city wall. Although under the rule of the Falling Feather Immortal Sect, it was just a small frontier city far from the front lines, the overall area was still extremely vast. The outer city wall stretched for a thousand miles, resembling a mountain range, which gave people a sense of sighing in despair.

In other words, Tang Yiping would have to shoulder all the responsibility!

This was in line with the interests of the other two superiors. At the same time, for him personally, as long as that Great Cultivator Yun Yi did not make a move, the impact of this evil cultivator chaos would not be held against him. Next, the three of them would work together to cover it up and then report it.

"Good."

There were many vehicles transporting corpses and various waste materials. In the coming period, the work at the corpse-burying wasteland would likely be very heavy, but with the care of Li Jian, the corpse-burying supervisor, there would be no major problems.

His tone carried a sense of consultation, which, combined with his cold and stern expression, was, to be honest, very strange; he himself felt quite awkward.

After all, even the stewards who were usually high and mighty were slaughtered like chickens this time; how could they not be afraid?

Du En cast these situations to the back of his mind and paced through the ruins within the city.

"I know what to do now."

And within the city, various production sites were mainly distributed.

Du En paused slightly and turned his head to look over there.

"Patrol Guard Du, let's speed up a bit."

Du En was escorted to the outside of Nanmo City.

"Holy crap! He's at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment?!"

Although the other two stewards were distraught, it was fortunate that they were distraught; they mechanically turned their heads to look, and at first, they were stunned, until Du En and Steward Shi nodded to each other and stepped into the city, only then did they suddenly come back to their senses.

The heavy punishment turned directly into a minor penalty, and Tang Yiping's power and status were basically not lost.

The towering city wall was the same as ever, but perhaps because it had just been breached, the emergency repairs were not perfectly completed, so the sense of majesty that would normally make people sigh in despair had faded quite a bit.

At the same time.

Thinking of He Bo, one thought of the Qingya Garden.

Only Steward Shi was relatively normal, busy here and there, having the air of a manager of Qingya Garden. At this moment, noticing Du En's gaze, he immediately took a moment to look over.

Seeing from afar that it was Du En, he was stunned for a moment, and seeing the inner city elites who were escorting him, who had become somewhat nervous because of his pause, he was even more stunned.

"A pity? No, no, no, this is actually better. After all, one cannot really kill people; one still has to give face to that side, to leave them no room to act out."

They didn't carry themselves with their usual grace at all; now that they had survived the disaster, they were as direct as they could be.

Gao Feng spoke this way, originally thinking that if Du En dared to defy him, he could do something even more extreme, but unfortunately, he did not.

And so, just as Du En entered the city, he saw a team of Foundation Establishment stage outer city stewards chasing a large group of several hundred second-stage late-stage farmed spirit beasts.

Patrol Guard Du is at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, cultivating faster and faster; it really makes one admire and submit!

For a moment, they all felt reverence, and the fear in their hearts dissipated quite a bit.

This time, it was not just passing through a corner, but heading straight for the core inner city.

They were distributed and situated in an orderly fashion. Last time Du En did not see them all, and this time he could only see ruins everywhere.

After avoiding this wave of spirit beasts without incident, in order to avoid encountering such accidents again, the leader of these inner city elites had to bite the bullet and speak.

Why is there such a subtle sense of déjà vu?

As soon as he spoke, willing to perform his duties, the other side immediately moved again, making a crisp clattering sound, appearing very satisfied.

Such a magnitude of spirit beasts, even if their ferocity was far inferior to wild demonic beasts, still caused pedestrians to be unable to avoid them when they were startled and running around in a herd, and they could easily crash into buildings; even the inner city elites had to set up a defensive formation.

However, looking at his calm and composed appearance, seeing that he had not been subjected to any extra measures, hmm? Wait, middle stage of Foundation Establishment?!

What do I know!

Tang Yiping really wanted to jump up and refute.

Many people died, but more survived. Although there were ruins everywhere, the foundation was not actually damaged, and operations were quickly restarted, with people cleaning up the mess everywhere.

In general, if the Great Cultivator Yun Yi really wanted to use an excuse to reach out, they would have to cut off an arm to protect themselves.

The Old City Lord received confirmation and completely sorted out the sequence of events.

Because Old City Lord Yang Feng's old hand had been pressing on the teacup lid for a bit too long.

In this way, the anxiety and panic in people's hearts could be slightly calmed.

He looked at Gao Feng, and so, Gao Feng spoke to Tang Yiping: "Of course, if that dignified great cultivator insists on using this matter to make a move, it would actually be quite difficult for us to handle. In short, we still need to have a way out, so, Chief Steward Tang, I think you should know what to do, right?"

But there was no help for it; the situation had changed now.

The Old City Lord did not think so, and thus pointed at Gao Feng like this.

"These words make sense; we indeed need to put an end to this possibility, but it is not good to do it openly and give that side a handle or excuse. Therefore, Chief Steward Gao, take advantage of the momentum this time to pin a suspicion on that Patrol Guard Du and lock him into the Forbidden Prison together."

Refining pills, refining artifacts, making talismans, and so on require smaller areas, while beast gardens, spirit fields, medicinal gardens, and so on require larger areas.

The Inner City elites had already withdrawn from the garden, and the various aftermath tasks at Qingya Garden were now being carried out by the few stewards who had luckily survived, leading the various overseers.

They were one by one distraught and pale-faced, moving and acting in a completely mechanical fashion.

Just a moment ago, they had already received new instructions from Gao Feng.

Gao Feng did not dare to neglect this, and said with worry and apprehension: "Although our place is small and quite remote, at least the sky is high and the emperor is far away; basically, we can call the shots ourselves. This power and profit cannot be given away for nothing!"

One must invite the person into the Inner City Forbidden Prison as politely as possible.

Du En was aware of this and merely nodded slightly in response.

The group immediately quickened their pace; in the eyes of the people of the Outer City who were busy working, it looked as if Du En were some important figure leading these Inner City elites to do things, so they one after another retreated in inexplicable awe, respectfully seeing them off with their gazes.
