971: Look who I am!

“That voice?”

Hearing the voice from outside the hall, the Hunting Team Leader of Fanhua Town, who had just put his heart at ease, immediately sprang from his chair, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

“It’s the captain of the hunting team that went out tonight.”

The Floral Town Magistrate’s expression was also quite something, and his tone carried a hint of surprise.

“No…”,

“The hunting team is back already? What did he just say, who is waiting for us?”

The Hunting Team Leader swallowed hard, staring blankly at the Magistrate.

“Lord… Lord Sosis!”

The Magistrate’s voice trembled slightly, and his body, already somewhat stooped from age, seemed even more hunched now.

“This…”

Upon hearing the response, the Hunting Team Leader felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his scalp tingled, and his body began to tremble.

He was not at all unfamiliar with the name Sosis.

A Peak-tier powerhouse of Canglan City, and one of City Lord Ogre’s right-hand men.

How could such a prominent figure come to their weak Fanhua Town at this time?

A small settlement like Fanhua Town was utterly insignificant under the rule of Canglan City; the Hunting Team Leader simply couldn’t fathom the reason for his visit.

Wait…

Suddenly, the Hunting Team Leader thought of a terrifying possibility.

And then, the next second, he saw the captain of the team that had gone hunting tonight rush into the hall.

“It’s over, we violated the ban, and we were caught red-handed by a Peak-tier Lord from Canglan City!”

All the strength drained from the Hunting Team Leader’s body, and he slumped weakly into the chair.

The Floral Town Magistrate was in a similar state, the wrinkles on his face deepening, as if he had aged decades in an instant.

“Magistrate, Leader.”

“We encountered a Shifting Cloud Leopard King and five adult Shifting Cloud Leopards during our hunt and were rescued by Lord Sosis of Canglan City. Lord Sosis now requests both of you to come to the town square.”

The hunting team captain who rushed in immediately knelt on the ground, reporting in a rapid voice.

“Lord Sosis, he…”

“Did he say anything?”

After a moment of silence, the Floral Town Magistrate slowly asked.

“No.”

The hunting team captain dared not look up, replying in a low voice.

“It seems our town is truly out of luck.”

“Let’s go, let’s meet Lord Sosis. I hope our sincere apology can earn his generosity.”

The Floral Town Magistrate sighed, rising from his chair. His voice sounded calm, but his hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, the Hunting Team Leader and the kneeling captain also quickly got up and followed behind the Floral Town Magistrate.

…

In the square of Fanhua Town, Wang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, a relaxed expression on his face, observing the Undead Warriors around him who dared not even breathe loudly.

The expressions on the faces of these Undead Warriors were polarized.

Those who had been patrolling the town mostly showed curiosity and surprise, while those who had just returned with Wang Chen from outside had faces filled with worry and fear.

All of this made the atmosphere in the entire square eerily quiet.

And it was under these circumstances that the Floral Town Magistrate and the Hunting Team Leader arrived at the square, led by the small team leader. Upon seeing the scene, the Floral Town Magistrate and the Hunting Team Leader couldn't help but shrink their pupils, their faces filled with worry.

This Lord Sosis, he did not come with good intentions!

“We pay our respects to Lord Sosis!”

Upon approaching Wang Chen, the Floral Town Magistrate and the Hunting Team Leader bowed deeply, their heads almost touching the ground, displaying an attitude of utmost humility.

Seeing this scene, Wang Chen smiled without speaking, merely watching these two Undead with the highest strength and authority in Fanhua Town.

“Lord Sosis’s presence in Fanhua Town today fills this humble one with trepidation. Please, my Lord, allow this humble one to properly receive you.”

Receiving no reply, the Floral Town Magistrate grew even more apprehensive. He dared not raise his head as he spoke respectfully.

“No need!”

“Since you are all here, I’ll save myself the trouble. Let’s get straight to the point.”

Wang Chen shook his head, his tone full of mockery.

“Lord Sosis, are you…?”

The Floral Town Magistrate’s body trembled, and he instinctively looked up, asking in astonishment.

“Hahaha!”

“Now, look at who I am?”

Wang Chen chuckled softly, reaching up to his face and removing the Thousand Illusions Mask, revealing his true appearance.

“A human?”

“Damn it, how dare you impersonate Lord Sosis?”

Seeing Wang Chen’s face and the undisguised human Qi on him, the Floral Town Magistrate’s expression changed drastically.

He had never imagined that Lord Sosis was actually impersonated by this human!

Thinking of the humility he had shown earlier, the Floral Town Magistrate was filled with indignation, his eyes almost spitting out tangible flames of rage.

Around them, after their initial shock, the Hunting Team Leader and the other Undead Warriors also burst forth with killing intent.

Especially the captain and members of that hunting team, their eyes seemed to want to tear Wang Chen into ten thousand pieces.

They had carefully served this Lord Sosis all the way, and now it turned out he was a human impersonator; they had all been played for fools.

“Damn it! Kill him!”

The Floral Town Magistrate furiously gave the order, while he himself retreated, planning to go to the Guardian Array’s core to send a message to Canglan City.

However, how could Wang Chen give him this chance?

“You say you want to kill me, but you run faster than anyone else!”

“Are you worthy of your clansmen?”

Wang Chen looked at the Floral Town Magistrate with a mocking gaze, a hateful smile on his face that, to the other party, was like a cat playing with a mouse.

“Damn human, daring to fool us, die!”

At this moment, the Peak-tier Six-stage captain of the hunting team reacted. He roared furiously, his magical power erupting like a rapidly shot crossbow bolt as he charged in front of Wang Chen, raising the war hammer in his hand and bringing it down.

“Meaningless resistance.”

Wang Chen casually extended a single finger, effortlessly blocking the war hammer, preventing it from moving an inch further.

“Just stand still and don’t resist, that way you can die painlessly.”

He spoke softly, then lightly flicked the surface of the war hammer with his finger. An invisible surge of power instantly shot out, transferring from the war hammer to the hunting team captain’s body.

The next second.

Bang!

The hunting team captain, who possessed Peak-tier Six-stage strength, exploded into fragments and scattered on the ground before he could even react to what had happened.

“Damn it!”

“This human’s strength is definitely not something we can contend with!”

“Magistrate, quickly contact the Lord of Canglan City! All warriors, listen to my command, stop this damned human and buy time for the Magistrate!”

Seeing this scene, the many Undead Warriors around them were all stunned. It was the Hunting Team Leader, Ian, who reacted first. He roared, his voice like thunder echoing throughout the town.
