Chapter 699

~6 min read 1,128 words

"The City Lord's Manor was perfectly fine, how could it tilt? There wasn't even an earthquake!"

"Could someone have been fighting inside the City Lord's Manor?"

"Who would dare fight inside the City Lord's Manor? Are they tired of living?"

"Then what was that sound just now?"

"……"

Su Yang jumped down from the window.

Landing on the ground, the area around the City Lord's Manor building was already surrounded by beast tamers.

Military beast tamers, one after another, had already prepared for combat.

They were just short of summoning their pet beasts.

Su Yang raised his head, and his expression immediately turned cold.

A frozen Platinum-rank Black Demon Bull Beast had butted the City Lord's Manor and made it tilt!

Fortunately it was frozen, otherwise the City Lord's Manor would have collapsed outright!

A Gold-rank pet beast charging forward would cause enormous damage to a city wall.

A Platinum-rank pet beast going berserk could tear his City Lord's Manor apart.

Su Yang roared: "What on earth is going on!"

"City Lord!"

"City Lord!"

"……"

A group of beast tamers immediately parted to make way for Su Yang.

"City Lord, someone laid hands on Deputy Liu!"

"Have they eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard?"

Su Yang's mood grew even worse.

Tearing apart his City Lord's Manor was one thing, but they actually laid hands on the people inside it too.

This is purely lighting a lamp in the latrine—looking to die!

"You guys come help, someone's been crushed!" someone shouted from the second floor of the City Lord's Manor.

Su Yang ordered: "You lot go up and help!"

"Yes!"

Su Yang went straight into the first-floor reception hall.

Seeing the several frozen pet beasts, he took a deep breath.

Stay calm!

Quickly, going around a pet beast, Su Yang saw Liu Mengyun, Feng Yuanjie, and several other Star Glory-rank beast tamers like He Yao!

In front of Liu Mengyun, there was also a human-shaped ice sculpture.

That person had a ferocious expression, frozen in a punching stance.

Beside him was another Star Glory-rank beast tamer Su Yang didn't recognize.

At this moment, cold sweat had already seeped from this Star Glory-rank beast tamer's forehead.

Su Yang glanced at the uniform on the other party and immediately knew they were someone from the Treasure Pavilion.

Someone from the Treasure Pavilion came to tear apart his City Lord's Manor?

"Deputy Liu, who struck first?"

"It was the people from the Treasure Pavilion who struck first!" Liu Mengyun hurriedly said, "They can testify!"

"Did Deputy Liu do something wrong?"

Su Yang turned his head to look at that Star Glory-rank beast tamer from the Treasure Pavilion.

"No!"

Sang Leng gave a bitter shake of his head.

"Then arrest every single one of them and throw them in prison!"

About to be arrested?

Sang Leng certainly didn't want to go to prison.

But just as he was about to make a move, he remembered where this place was……

Sang Leng shouted loudly: "City Lord Su, Ye Hu acted on impulse, please forgive him!"

"So he's Ye Hu?" Su Yang swept a glance at the ice sculpture and said coldly, "In that case, let him keep his brother company! Hang him by the neck on the city wall!"

Sang Leng sucked in a sharp breath.

He had heard that Su Yang was domineering by nature, but seeing it today, he realized the rumors were indeed true!

"City Lord Su, I didn't make a move!"

"The people were brought by you, and you say you didn't make a move—does that prove you're innocent?" Su Yang asked with a cold laugh, "Aren't you here on behalf of Liao Yuankai? You brought people to tear apart my City Lord's Manor and laid hands on my deputy—is that Liao Yuankai's intention?"

"No, City Lord Su, we absolutely didn't mean that!"

"I'm sorry, I only see how your people acted!" Su Yang shouted, "What are you standing around for? Throw them in prison, and if they dare resist, kill them on the spot!"

Sang Leng did not resist—nor dared he resist!

Several captain-level officers from the City Guard who had rushed over directly hauled Sang Leng up.

Sang Leng felt he'd caused a disaster this time, and shouted loudly: "Deputy City Lord Feng, talk to City Lord Su for me—Deputy City Lord Feng……!"

Su Yang asked with a cold laugh: "Deputy City Lord Feng, are you on friendly terms with that man?"

Feng Yuanjie hurriedly waved his hands and denied it: "No! No particular relationship, just know him!"

He knew that Su Yang was certainly furious at this moment.

He did not blame Su Yang, but felt that the Treasure Pavilion people had gone too far!

The Governor's Mansion was not just Su Yang's—it was his too!

The Governor's Mansion represented the face of Mount Dajiao City.

Mount Dajiao City sat atop the peak of Mount Dajiao.

Anyone living in Mount Dajiao City could look up and see the Governor's Mansion!

This demolition would surely make everyone in Mount Dajiao City know!

If today's incident, Su Yang did not force the Treasure Pavilion to give an explanation,

then Su Yang's authority would be utterly destroyed!

Authority, to ordinary people, was unimportant.

But for someone like Su Yang, who held no real power, it was extremely important!

Su Yang nodded: "This is best!"

He had no intention of pursuing the relationship between Feng Yuanjie and Sang Ling.

The ice crystals shattered, and Ye Hu's beast companions turned to fragments.

The only one still standing was the Black Demon Ox Beast.

That Black Demon Ox Beast could not fall yet—if it did, the entire Governor's Mansion might collapse.

"My lord, one dead, two seriously wounded, thirteen lightly injured!"

A beast tamer ran over to report to Su Yang.

Inside the Governor's Mansion, there were many civil officials.

They themselves had no combat ability, no different from ordinary people.

But they had high literacy and strong management skills, and were still heavily relied upon.

Su Yang had only been in office for a few days.

And now he had to deal with this mess!

If Commander Yao and General Qin found out someone had torn down his Governor's Mansion, they'd probably die laughing!

"The Treasure Pavilion definitely doesn't want to live!" Su Yang muttered lowly, "Should I hang them all on the city wall?"

"My lord, that would be unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable!" Feng Yuanjie hurriedly stepped forward, "If we truly fight the Treasure Pavilion, who knows how many will die!"

He Yao also stepped forward and said: "My lord, please think carefully—the Treasure Pavilion is still very powerful!"

"…"

Su Yang looked at Liu Mengyun.

Liu Mengyun whispered: "My lord, please calm down a little!"
