There is a reason for everything

General Xiao had just called the guards back when the people at the entrance rushed in like a broken bamboo, standing at the doorway.

Xiao Feng had originally planned to arrange for Zhou Wei to surround those people inside, but who knew a voice came from within the hall.

"You have quite the nerve, daring to even surround the City Lord's Mansion. It seems I've been too lenient with you usually."

As the voice fell, City Lord Xiao walked out from inside, his face pale with anger.

Originally, he thought the people at the entrance were just causing minor trouble, but no one expected that the people at the entrance actually wanted their lives.

The Dragon saw City Lord Xiao come out from inside, his face filled with hatred, wishing he could kill him right now.

At this moment, Xiao Feng stood to the side, observing the actions of the two of them, wanting to see if they had any weaknesses.

Any Cultivator has their own weakness. As long as you find what they fear, dealing with them becomes much simpler.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Feng discovered that the vital points on their bodies were actually in the same place, and a smile appeared on his face: "It seems you studied under the same person."

Xiao Feng walked up to them and said: "Do you dare to make a move? I'll fight the two of you alone, giving you a chance for revenge."

City Lord Xiao watched as Xiao Feng planned to deal with the two third-stage Cultivators, his brow furrowing slightly. Just as he was about to speak to stop him, he found General Xiao had arrived before him.

General Xiao nodded towards Xiao Feng with her chin: "Since the Young Master is willing to go in, I believe he should have the confidence to deal with those two people."

At this moment, Xiao Feng had already lived in Evernight City for a few days. They could tell that Xiao Feng was not the kind of person who liked to show off.

City Lord Xiao heard General Xiao say this and nodded slightly: "Have your guards prepare. If he is not their match, this City Lord will immediately make a move."

Regardless of whether their contest was fair or not, as long as he saw Xiao Feng was about to lose, he would most likely make a move.

Soon, the Dragon and Li Dehua exchanged a glance and simultaneously charged towards Xiao Feng.

Although Xiao Feng only had second-stage strength, the Shanhe Sword was constantly circling around him. The Dragon and Li Dehua couldn't even get close, let alone hurt him.

In contrast, Xiao Feng repeatedly got close, his palms like Sharp Weapons, each strike hitting their vital spots.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Dragon and Li Dehua were half-kneeling on the ground, unable to use the Spirit Energy within their bodies.

Xiao Feng took advantage of the situation and walked behind the two of them, placing his palms on their necks.

As long as he released even a little Spirit Energy from his hand, the Dragon and Li Dehua would lose their lives.

City Lord Xiao watched as Xiao Feng captured the two of them and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Haha, this is truly a tiger father having no dog sons!"

Since the leaders had been captured, City Lord Xiao had no goodwill left towards the others. Pointing in the direction of those people, he ordered: "Guards, arrest everyone!"

General Xiao heard City Lord Xiao's command and quickly led the guards to the front of the others.

These people were originally just ordinary people. Facing the armored guards, they had no ability to resist at all and were pressed firmly to the ground one by one.

As for those people behind, seeing that the situation was wrong, they fled outwards like madmen.

City Lord Xiao watched as people left from the entrance and couldn't help but say to General Xiao: "Remember the faces of those people. We must arrest all of them in the future."

Since they had the courage to come and cause trouble at the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Xiao wanted them to know what kind of consequences causing trouble at the City Lord's Mansion would bring.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, at least half of the people present were captured by them.

Just then, Xiao Heng came to Xiao Feng's side and silently lowered his head: "You... do you still plan to leave here now?"

Xiao Feng heard Xiao Heng's voice, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "I'll stay for now to see, lest the Xiao Family be wiped out by them."

Now, with a Qing Sect Disciple here, it doesn't matter how many people come.

But if they were to leave here, the Xiao Family could only rely on City Lord Xiao's strength; the others were just ordinary people.

City Lord Xiao watched as Xiao Feng came into the hall and pointed at the two people below the hall: "Since you've come in, let's question them together."

Xiao Feng followed his gaze and looked at the two people in front, nodded slightly, and sat down beside him.

Not only was City Lord Xiao curious about the two of them, but Xiao Feng was also curious about the two of them, not understanding why they would attack the City Lord's Mansion.

In his eyes, the matter of imprisoning Li Dehua was just a coincidence; it was impossible for them to bring so many people to seek revenge.

City Lord Xiao glanced at them and said: "Tell me, why do you want to deal with us?"

The Dragon heard City Lord Xiao's resolute tone and let out a cold snort: "You killed my wife, and you're actually asking me why I want to deal with you? It's simply ridiculous."

Li Dehua nodded, his face filled with hatred: "As long as you release me, I will still kill you."

Xiao Feng looked at them with a face full of surprise, not reacting for a long time. He had no idea what the Xiao Family had done over the years.

If they had truly killed Li Dehua's mother, then the entire matter would be their fault.

Xiao Feng walked up to City Lord Xiao, his brow furrowing slightly: "Can you tell me, is this matter true or not?"

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on City Lord Xiao, as if he wanted to see if City Lord Xiao was lying to him.

City Lord Xiao looked at Xiao Feng's serious expression, froze in place for a moment, and repeatedly shook his head: "It's a baseless matter. Even this City Lord doesn't know about it."

Since this matter happened a long time ago, there was simply no way to verify it.

But Xiao Feng was willing to believe City Lord Xiao. After all, the Xiao Family had been established in Evernight City for so long; there was no reason for them to indiscriminately kill innocents.

Li Dehua heard Xiao Feng and City Lord Xiao putting on a show in front of him and sneered: "You two are originally a family; stop acting."

He simply refused to believe what City Lord Xiao had just said. He had already decided in his heart that they were the ones who did the killing.

Just from their eyes, it was indeed possible that the person they spoke of had died by City Lord Xiao's hand.

However, in Xiao Feng's memory, most of the people who died by City Lord Xiao's hand were those who had committed heinous crimes; their deaths were well-deserved.

Since this matter had already passed for a long time, Xiao Feng had no way to investigate it further and walked up to them.

"In the future, when you've figured it out clearly, bring your evidence. Otherwise, with baseless claims, no one will be willing to believe your words."

Li Dehua watched Xiao Feng feigning concern for him and spat to the side: "Stop pretending. You're here to kill us this time, aren't you? Then make your move."
