564: Who are you trying to scare?

Ever since Lu Fang was subdued by Shen Bei, the Lu Family naturally had no way to resist. Shen Bei and his group directly rushed into the Lu Family.

Ren Chuan and others quickly caught the murderers who killed outside the city and found a lot of evidence in the Lu Family, especially the unused Heart Blood.

With all this evidence laid out, it was an ironclad case.

Shen Bei walked in front, looking at the Heart Blood that had been found. It was at this moment that a Sword Qi suddenly shot out, aiming to kill him.

Lu Yuan, the young master of the Lu Family, who had appeared weak, suddenly erupted. He was not far from Shen Bei, and the Sword Qi instantly reached Shen Bei’s front.

This Sword Qi carried a bloody Sword Intent, causing extreme trepidation.

Ren Chuan and the others never imagined that the weak Lu Yuan would possess such combat power. He was too late to rush over and rescue Shen Bei, only able to watch as the Sword Qi charged towards Shen Bei’s front.

Lu Yuan’s eyes were blood red at this moment, filled with a thirst for blood. This Sword Qi was his full-strength strike and his most proud Move.

He maintained his life by consuming Heart Blood, thereby refining the Dao of bloodiness. Thus, his Sword Intent was extremely terrifying. He was confident that even a Martial God caught off guard by such Sword Intent would definitely suffer. This was the Sword Intent contained within his Sword Qi.

Everyone thought he was a weak cripple, but who would have thought that he was actually a Rank Nine Cultivator who had already passed the Three Declines. This strike was sure to severely injure Shen Bei.

Once Shen Bei was severely injured, and he was taken as a hostage, then he might be able to escape.

As long as he didn't fall into the Night Watcher's hands now, he could go find his Royal Concubine cousin. His Royal Concubine cousin liked him the most, so who would be able to do anything to him then?

Lu Yuan's eyes showed a fierce look, and he lunged at Shen Bei along with the Sword Qi.

He was waiting for the look of fear in Shen Bei's eyes, but as his Sword Qi was about to land on Shen Bei, he didn't see any fear from the other party. Instead, he saw mockery in his eyes.

Lu Yuan didn't know what a person who was about to fall into his hands had to mock him about.

However, his expression suddenly changed drastically, because a Saber Qi rushed out from Shen Bei. This Saber Qi also contained dominance. Moreover, it was a Sword Intent that was no weaker than his own.

No! It was a Saber Qi even more bloody than his Sword Intent!

Crimson like blood, it directly clashed with his Sword Qi.

His proud Sword Qi was instantly annihilated. However, Shen Bei's Saber Qi still carried residual power and directly landed on Lu Yuan.

“Pfft!”

A bloody gash appeared on Lu Yuan, and at the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward and crashing to the ground.

“Take him away!” Shen Bei didn't even look at the other party, instructing a Night Watcher.

“Ah! Okay!” The Night Watcher was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded, looking at Shen Bei with a hint of fear.

He was a Rank Seven Night Watcher Team Leader. Lu Fang's previous attack had made him afraid; if it had been him, he would definitely have been injured or died. But he didn't expect Shen Bei to easily block it and severely injure the opponent.

Indeed, Team Leader Shen Bei cannot be viewed with common sense.

“Impossible! Impossible!” Lu Yuan, whose hands and feet were bound, muttered repeatedly.

He relied on devouring Heart Blood to refine such a bloody Sword Intent, but why was Shen Bei even stronger than him? How could he be?

But Shen Bei didn't give him an answer; he directly had the Lu Family sealed.

He was about to take the many criminals from the Lu Family to the Night Watcher Courtyard, but as he just walked out of the Lu Mansion, he saw an official dressed in a Crimson robe riding a white unicorn horse on the side of the street, followed by many Cultivators.

The official riding the tall horse unreservedly released his Aura, and the flow of a Domain emanated around him.

Ren Chuan looked at this person, his expression changing, and he whispered into Shen Bei's ear, “Pan Fei, a Rank Three high official, a Martial God expert. He is also Lu Fang's brother-in-law and the Royal Concubine's father.”

Shen Bei's eyes narrowed slightly. The nobles of the Royal City were also divided into Ranks.

Pan Fei was undoubtedly one of the top-tier figures in the capital.

His arrival now was clearly to stand up for Lu Fang.

The Night Watchers all looked at him with grave expressions, showing apprehension.

Among the Night Watchers, no one except Prince Wei had the qualifications to speak as an equal with such a top-tier noble.

The onlookers, seeing this scene, all looked at Shen Bei and the others with sympathy. They didn't expect Pan Fei to arrive so quickly; it seemed it wouldn't be so easy for the Night Watchers to take Lu Fang and the others away.

The atmosphere became incredibly oppressive for a time.

Even the air seemed to solidify.

Watching Pan Fei head straight for them, Ren Chuan whispered to Shen Bei, “Sir, what should we do?”

Shen Bei glanced at Ren Chuan and said, “Ignore him! We’ll take the people and go!”

As he spoke, Shen Bei walked in front, as if he hadn't seen Pan Fei, heading in the direction of the Night Watcher Courtyard.

Ren Chuan and the others exchanged glances, then, pressing Lu Fang, Lu Yuan, and the others, followed behind Shen Bei.

However, Shen Bei ignoring Pan Fei didn't mean he could avoid him. Seeing that the Night Watchers ignored him and left directly, Pan Fei's face showed some anger. Riding his tall white unicorn horse, he galloped directly to block Shen Bei's group.

He looked down at Shen Bei from above and asked casually, “Are you Shen Bei?”

Shen Bei replied with a grin, “Your Excellency, when you ask such a question, I can't help but suspect you're blind. After all, in this Royal City, there should be no second young man as handsome and dashing as I am.”

Pan Fei didn't expect such a response. Having held a high position, he had never been mocked like this. His displeasure grew stronger, and he no longer beat around the bush, but spoke directly, “Release them!”

Shen Bei's smile became even brighter as he asked, “By what identity are you asking me to release them, Your Excellency? Could it be as an accomplice coming to rescue them? If so, then we'll have to discuss it, and I'm afraid I'll have to invite Your Excellency to the Night Watcher Courtyard for a cup of tea.”

Pan Fei looked at the young man, his face extremely grim. He had lost his patience, staring at Shen Bei and shouting, “The Lu Family is neither of the Demonic Path nor the Yao Race. Even if he committed some crime, it's not something you Night Watchers manage. The Royal Guards are responsible. You Night Watchers are overstepping your authority.”

“Overstepping authority?” Shen Bei looked at Pan Fei in surprise and said, “Colluding with the Demonic Path and using Demonic Path Cultivation Technique for life extension, doesn't that count as being of the Demonic Path?”

Pan Fei snorted, “He is a noble of the Royal City, the Royal Concubine's maternal family. It's not up to you Night Watchers to simply declare them as people of the Demonic Path. Ask other officials; would they agree to your unlimited designation of people as being of the Demonic Path?”

“Alright, if you don't acknowledge it, then don't. Let's just assume they are not of the Demonic Path,” Shen Bei said casually.

“Sir!” Ren Chuan's face changed drastically. These words couldn't be spoken lightly. If the Lu Family were of the Demonic Path, the Night Watchers could act according to the rules, but if they weren't recognized as such, the Night Watchers' actions would lose their legitimacy, which would cause great trouble.

Pan Fei was overjoyed to hear Shen Bei say this. Looking at Shen Bei's young face, he thought, 'Indeed, he's young and inexperienced; I've just caught him in a blunder.'

“Since they are not of the Demonic Path, then you Night Watchers are overstepping your authority. Why don't you quickly release them? Otherwise, I will definitely file a severe complaint against you! At that time, you will inevitably be charged with abuse of power. Do you know what the price is for a Night Watcher to be charged with abuse of power? Death!”

Pan Fei said sternly.

The expressions of the many Night Watchers changed drastically, looking at Shen Bei, only to see him still smiling brightly…
