144: City Lord Chu Yun

Then, returning to the high platform, he said to his confidant beside him, "A Level 2 Warrior at seventeen is a rare find. Go ask my uncle later if he wants to directly send this Zhuang Sanming into the Axe Gang."

"Yes."

After the confidant left, Steward Xiao He said to the people standing below, "Alright, everyone, get to know each other. Training will be in the afternoon. Dismissed!"

"Yes!"

After the team disbanded, Zhuang Sanming prepared to quietly observe his surroundings, to see what was so special about this selection area.

However, Tao Erbao, who had just been there, followed behind him, looking as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.

Zhuang Sanming didn't want others to see his intentions, so he turned around and asked, "Why are you always following me?"

"I... I just wanted to ask, do they provide food here? My mother said that if I join the Axe Gang, I'll get food and lodging, that's why I came."

Although Tao Erbao was already thirty years old, his character was still very simple and honest, a true country bumpkin.

Zhuang Sanming's eyes widened. He never expected that Tao Erbao, who, like him, was applying as a Level 2 Warrior, wanted to join the Axe Gang for this reason.

No way? A dignified Level 2 Warrior, can't afford food?

While Zhuang Sanming was wondering, he heard Tao Erbao say again, "I also have four younger sisters and five younger brothers at home. The youngest is only three years old. I'm the only Warrior in my whole family. My mother sold everything to let me advance to Level 2. I really have nothing to eat..."

Zhuang Sanming: "..."

At this moment, Zhuang Sanming's mental journey was like this: shock, shock, then silence.

Four younger sisters, five younger brothers, plus Tao Erbao himself... putting everything else aside, his mother was truly fertile!

"Then what about your father? Is your father a Warrior?" Zhuang Sanming couldn't help but ask curiously.

"My father was a Warrior, but he was killed by a fierce beast last year. Now it's just my mother and us brothers." Tao Erbao said, and his stomach rumbled.

Zhuang Sanming couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "Let's go, I'll go with you to ask if they provide food."

"Aye, alright!" Tao Erbao immediately beamed, his small eyes squinting as if closed when he smiled.

Zhuang Sanming took him to ask a member of the Axe Gang in front, and after receiving a positive answer, the two went to the back kitchen for food.

"You're really amazing, not afraid of people at all. I've been timid since I was a child. If it weren't for the food and lodging, I wouldn't have come here."

Tao Erbao scooped a large bowl of rice and told Zhuang Sanming while eating.

Zhuang Sanming was surprised again: "You're timid? I don't think you're timid at all."

Tao Erbao didn't dare to ask himself, but he dared to follow behind Zhuang Sanming.

Moreover, when Steward Xiao He asked his name, his voice was so loud and full of energy, not at all like someone who would be afraid to communicate with others.

"Hehe." Tao Erbao scratched his head, revealing a simple smile.

Zhuang Sanming pursed his lips. He suddenly felt that this Tao Erbao seemed more suited to join Xiong Mao's camp, because both of them were equally simple-minded.

But now was not the time to consider this. He had to quickly complete his mission of infiltrating Bao Hui's camp before he could proceed to the next step... the edge of 155 Fortress.

"How dare you stir up trouble in 155 Fortress without asking this old man first?"

Just as the person in the bamboo hat was about to take Xiao Yue and the others all away from 155 Fortress, a deep voice suddenly resounded in all their ears.

"Not good!" The person in the bamboo hat immediately sensed danger, so he didn't linger, wanting to leave immediately.

However, just as he was about to rush out of the Wall, he was pulled back by a huge suction force.

Among those who had been caught by the silk threads in his hand, one was accidentally let go.

The person who fell from the sky happened to be Xiao Yue.

"Yue'er!" Xiao Zhenxuan appeared right after, catching Xiao Yue who was falling.

Xiao Yue was very confused now: "Father? What's going on?"

Xiao Yue knew that the one who had captured him was very strong, and Xiao Zhenxuan was no match for that person at all.

"The City Lord has arrived. The City Lord has come to save you all." Xiao Zhenxuan's tone was very excited.

City Lord?

Xiao Yue blinked in disbelief. It was the City Lord Chu Yun, who was known as the highest combat power in the entire 155 Fortress, the supreme administrator of the City Lord's Mansion, one of the Three Great Powers!

It was really the City Lord who had come!

At this moment, a white figure appeared in the void, without substance, but it made people feel an extremely strong pressure.

Chu Yun's face was stern, and his slightly furrowed brows showed his unpleasant mood at the moment. This figure in the void seemed to step on lotuses with each step, so light that it was unbelievable.

"What's going on? It's just a projection after all." The person in the bamboo hat was initially very surprised, thinking he was going to be in trouble, but then he realized that the City Lord hadn't come at all, and what appeared here was just a phantom.

Xiao Yue also noticed it, and said in a panic, "Father, the City Lord didn't come in person, can he defeat that guy?"

Compared to Xiao Yue's panic, Xiao Zhenxuan was much calmer: "Don't worry, this is a secret technique used by the City Lord. Once someone dares to violate the boundary of 155 Fortress, this phantom of the City Lord will immediately take action. And once the phantom takes action, the City Lord, who is far away in the City Lord's Mansion, will sense it and rush here as soon as possible."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Yue looked up at the phantom in the air again, and couldn't help but think to himself, if only he could be that powerful one day.

"Let's go first." Xiao Zhenxuan was worried about complications, so he grabbed Xiao Yue and quickly fled the place.

"Patriarch, save us!"

"Patriarch!"

"Don't leave us behind!"

Xiao Yue was not the only one among the younger generation of the Xiao Family who was captured, but now Xiao Zhenxuan was preoccupied and couldn't care about them.

So they could only watch helplessly as Xiao Zhenxuan took Xiao Yue and ran off, losing all hope of being rescued themselves.

Liu XinFan watched all this coldly. With Xiao Zhenxuan's cold and thin personality, he could indeed do such a thing.

After all, in Xiao Zhenxuan's heart, as long as the highly talented Xiao Yue was still there, their Xiao Family would have a day to rise again.

As for Liu Yancheng?

Heh, he was even worse than Xiao Zhenxuan.

Liu XinFan didn't place any hope on Liu Yancheng at all... Meanwhile, at the City Lord's Mansion.

"The Wall barrier I set up has been attacked? No, I must go and see quickly."

Chu Yun felt the changes in his body and knew that someone was attacking the boundary of the Wall.

But 155 Fortress had not suffered foreign invasion for so long, so who could be attacking the Wall's boundary now?

Chu Yun frowned. There was a certain distance between here and the Wall's boundary. He hoped that no major problems would arise before he arrived.
