66: Chapter 66 Find someone you can talk to
"As for the people from the Yongzhen Sect, it is better for you to receive them, Junior Sister," City Lord Ji Ze said, looking at Second Senior Sister Qin Lu.
"Third Junior Brother and Fourth Junior Brother, along with their families, are becoming increasingly restless," Second Senior Sister Qin Lu said, a look of worry appearing on her face.
Ever since Revered Master went into seclusion, these two Junior Brothers and the families behind them have become more and more restless.
This situation has become especially evident over the last ten years.
"I know," City Lord Ji Ze said expressionlessly.
Since Revered Master went into seclusion, basically every matter in Tianyuan City, big or small, has been handled by him. He could not be more familiar with the situation in the city.
He could only say that regarding some matters, he truly lacked the strength to act despite his good intentions.
However, those two, and the families behind them, have indeed overreached. It is time to find a way to knock them down a peg.
"In addition, please take care of the warning from Yuanxu Mountain, Junior Sister," City Lord Ji Ze said.
Naturally, Yuanxu Mountain had notified them about the matter of the Demonic Cultivators. Regarding Tianyuan City, which was located on the edge, Yuanxu Mountain had also specifically instructed them.
In this regard, Tianyuan City naturally attached great importance to it. When it came to Demonic Cultivators, one could not be careless.
If there were really Demonic Cultivators lurking in their Tianyuan City, then it would definitely be Tianyuan City that would be in trouble.
"I know," Second Senior Sister Qin Lu nodded and said.
Afterward, Second Senior Sister Qin Lu turned and left the main hall, leaving City Lord Ji Ze alone.
...
Two days passed in a flash.
Lin Ming had stayed in the dungeon for two days. During this period, nothing like the so-called torture by the jailers had occurred.
"Strange, didn't this kid offend Young Master Zhang? Why hasn't anyone come to torture him?"
"It is indeed strange. Could it be that Young Master Zhang has found a new way to play and is just leaving this kid to hang for a few days?"
"Regardless, this kid is definitely dead. There is no way he will leave here alive."
"..."
Although they found it strange that Lin Ming had not been tortured, they were certain that Lin Ming was doomed. Given the temperament of that Young Master Zhang, it was impossible for Lin Ming to leave alive.
"How boring," Lin Ming said, leaning against the wall with a look of disinterest.
He had been waiting for the past two days, waiting for the so-called torture. And this was all it amounted to? It was a bit boring.
"Time to go," Lin Ming said, standing up and stretching.
It was about time; the people from the Yongzhen Sect would be arriving soon, and he could not waste any more time here.
Of course, he still had some scores to settle with them. He could not have spent these few days in prison for nothing.
Lin Ming stood up, walked to the cell door, and with a casual slap, the door was smashed open by him.
He stepped out. Lin Ming's actions naturally attracted the attention of others.
"Escaping from prison, is this kid trying to escape from prison?"
"Kid, I think you are courting death, daring to escape from prison."
"I think this Young Master has grown tired of living."
"..."
Lin Ming's behavior naturally caused surprise among others, and at the same time, they sentenced him to death in their minds.
One had to know that the punishment for prison breakers in Tianyuan City was extremely severe. As long as one was a prison breaker, the sentence was death, without exception.
In their view, if Lin Ming had not tried to escape, perhaps there might have been a glimmer of hope. But since he had now committed the act of escaping, it was basically a dead end.
"Escaping from prison, you are seeking your own death."
Lin Ming's prison-breaking behavior naturally attracted the attention of the jailers, who picked up their weapons and blocked Lin Ming's path.
Their understanding of this person was also limited. They knew he had offended Zhang Zhihui, but that Young Master from the Liu Family wanted to save his life, which put some people in the City Guard in a difficult position. They simply threw him to the side and ignored him.
But now the situation was different. This person dared to escape from prison; that was challenging the City Guard and challenging the entire Tianyuan City.
They definitely could not let Lin Ming leave just like that. But this was not something they could decide on their own.
Lin Ming arrived beside a jailer in the blink of an eye and knocked him unconscious. Dealing with these Body Tempering Realm and Spirit Guiding Realm jailers was the simplest thing. He knocked them out one by one. These jailers had absolutely no power to resist.
"Who exactly are you?" Someone saw this scene and panicked, shouting at Lin Ming.
"Bring someone who can make decisions to see me," Lin Ming said calmly. There was nothing to say to these jailers.
"Prison breakers die." In an instant, someone rushed in from outside the door, the blade in his hand pointing directly at Lin Ming, striking straight at him.
Lin Ming stepped forward, raised his hand slightly, and caught the blade with two fingers.
"What?" Luo Mingyu was shocked. He tried to withdraw his blade, but found it didn't move at all; he couldn't use his blade at all. This made Luo Mingyu realize that the person in front of him had extraordinary strength.
"Who are you?" Luo Mingyu asked, his face composed. Even if the opponent's strength was stronger than his, so what? Standing behind him was Tianyuan City.
"Sea Opening Realm 2nd Heaven, not bad, but you don't have the qualifications."
Lin Ming flicked his finger and knocked the blade away. Luo Mingyu was forced to retreat several steps along with the blade being knocked away, his entire body leaning against the wall behind him, only then barely maintaining his stance.
Not a match. Luo Mingyu realized that he was by no means the opponent of the person in front of him. Could it be an expert of the Spirit Platform Realm? This thought popped into Luo Mingyu's mind.
"Find someone who can make decisions; I will wait for you here," Lin Ming said indifferently.
Luo Mingyu did not say anything more and turned to leave. The remaining jailers looked at Lin Ming with caution, but did not dare to approach him, staring at Lin Ming from the entrance of the dungeon.
"His strength is not simple." Lin Ming's strength shocked the others in the prison. To some extent, they knew a little about Luo Mingyu's strength. But Luo Mingyu was not his opponent, which showed how strong he was.
"So what if it's not simple? This is Tianyuan City," someone said disdainfully.
Even if Lin Ming's strength was not simple, so what? This was Tianyuan City, with the Tianyuan Swordsman, who had the strength of the Peak of the Bitter Sea, sitting in command, and his five Disciples, the weakest of whom were at the high stage of the Spirit Platform Realm.
In their view, Lin Ming's ending was already doomed; it was just a matter of time.
Not long after, Luo Mingyu returned, following behind a middle-aged man with a dignified expression.
This person was the Bureau Chief of the City Patrol Bureau, Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen, who was also a Spirit Platform Realm practitioner.
"You are..." Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen was just about to say something, but his words stopped abruptly.
He saw Lin Ming take out a token directly and show it in front of Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen.
"Bureau Chief of the City Patrol Bureau of Tianyuan City, Sun Xiuwen, greets the High Cultivator from Yuanxu Mountain."
