36: Take this pill, and your injury will heal to the point of overflowing!

"What is that!"

"What happened!"

The originally orderly Chiyang City...

At the moment the bronze light pillar soared into the sky, it suddenly erupted into chaos.

The crowd became chaotic.

The civilians at the city gate were even more surprised to find a light membrane appearing a hundred meters outside the gate.

Some brave civilians went forward to touch it.

"It's like old ox hide; even a knife can't cut it!"

"We can't get out!"

"We're trapped!"

Suddenly.

*Pop~*

A farmer working outside the light membrane was squeezed inside as soon as he touched it.

"You can come in, but you can't go out!"

"Report to the City Lord!"

Inside the conference hall.

Chiyang High-ranking Officials, led by Chen Shouyi, sat in a circle.

They were discussing countermeasures.

How to deal with the Imperial Prime Minister's ensuing retaliation.

As a result, just as they had come up with a plan, a massive change occurred in Chiyang City.

"Report!"

Various pieces of intelligence gathered in one place.

"Everyone, speak up."

Chen Shouyi rubbed his temples, his expression grim.

"Could this light membrane trapping the city be the work of the Imperial Prime Minister?"

"If it weren't for the bronze giant gate in the center of the city, I might think so."

"But to say it has absolutely no connection to the Imperial Prime Minister, I believe that's impossible. After all, the timing is too coincidental."

"The aura within the bronze giant gate is majestic and terrifying. I heard from my subordinates that the scent of treasures seems to be coming from inside."

"None of the people I sent into the bronze giant gate have returned."

Chen Shouyi pondered for a moment, tapped the table lightly, and said,

"Regardless, our Chiyang City will become a place of strife for the Empire.

Next, experts from all over the Empire will surely arrive one after another. First, evacuate the city's residents to avoid casualties.

Let's move."

All the Chiyang High-ranking Officials acted quickly.

"Citizens, leave the bronze giant gate immediately!"

"Retreat to the gathering areas in the east and south of the city!"

"Do not enter the bronze giant gate!"

The garrison squads moved through the crowd, using magic megaphones to loudly direct the citizens to retreat to the gathering areas in each district.

"Haha!"

"It's actually a demigods secret treasure!"

The first batch of experts finally arrived.

Someone noticed that on the bronze giant gate, which was carved with Dragons and Phoenixes, the very center featured a giant bear that stood between heaven and earth.

Those Dragons and Phoenixes were merely being trampled under the giant bear's feet.

"I heard it's the secret treasure site of the demigod Xiong Xi?"

"You're quite well-informed!"

Outside the bronze giant gate, more and more experts from all over the Empire gathered.

"How bold! You dare to bump into this master!"

At this time, a young man in half-body armor kicked a farmer to the ground.

The farmer kept spitting blood but hurriedly knelt down,

"I'm sorry, Lord, it was this lowly one who didn't watch where I was going."

"Haha, look at this commoner. He was clearly knocked down by you, yet he has to say against his will that he didn't watch the road. Haha, how satisfying!"

"Heh, if I knocked him down, then he didn't watch the road. Just a commoner; appearing before us noble Professionals is a grave mistake!"

The man in half-body armor drew a scimitar and weighed it in his hand,

"I'll let this border town gain some experience. You country commoners, don't come out and embarrass yourselves!"

"Lord, have mercy!"

"Die!"

*Swish!*

The scimitar slashed down.

"Despicable."

Ning Xiwei caught a glimpse of this scene.

Are the citizens of our Chiyang City not human too!

A surge of anger suddenly rose in her chest.

Ning Xiwei rushed forward half a step.

Only a clang was heard.

The scimitar snapped into two pieces and fell to the ground.

"Who dares to stop me? You're looking for death!"

The man in half-body armor looked grim, scanning the surroundings for the person who had acted.

"Bastard, stop looking. It was this lady who did it!"

A delicate-looking young girl raised her fist, her face showing a fierce look.

Behind her was a pale, stunningly beautiful young lady.

"Two little wenches, you've got quite the nerve. See if I don't strip your clothes off!"

The man in half-body armor brandished his broken scimitar and charged.

"How dare you insult the Ninth Prin... Ninth Young Miss. You're asking for a beating!"

The delicate young girl was none other than the maid Xiu Xiu; she met him with her innocent-looking fist.

With a thud, she smashed the man in half-body armor to the ground.

Then she kicked him in the chest, making him cough up a large mouthful of blood.

"Xiu Xiu, that's enough."

"Yes, Ni... Ninth Young Miss."

Ninth Princess Princess walked to the injured farmer and took out a porcelain bottle.

"Ah, Ninth Prin... Ninth Young Miss, I have medicine here, I have medicine!"

Xiu Xiu was afraid her master would turn around and give another Life-Saving Pill to the farmer.

The Life-Saving Pill was meant to save the Ninth Princess's life.

How could they be given to a low... outsider to eat.

Xiu Xiu snatched Princess's porcelain bottle of Life-Saving Pills and instead pulled out a pale purple pill from her own bosom and handed it to the farmer.

She said with a look of heartache:

"Eat it. After eating it, your injuries will heal so well they'll overflow."

"You..."

Princess wasn't the least bit angry at her servant Xiu Xiu's action of snatching the porcelain bottle; she just shook her head helplessly.

She had spoiled this girl too much lately.

She didn't act like a servant at all.

But.

This was fine too.

Princess liked this way of interacting.

"Thank you, Young Misses."

After the farmer swallowed the pill, color returned to his face, and he hurriedly tried to kowtow in thanks.

"Step further away; it's not safe here."

Princess helped the old farmer up and spoke softly.

"Thank you."

The old farmer stared at Princess's pretty face, feeling as if he were looking at a fairy.

Beautiful, graceful, and kind.

"That older sister is so kind."

Ning Xiwei sighed in admiration.

She noticed that the clothes on Princess were all extraordinary, so her status must be extremely high, yet she wasn't the least bit arrogant.

On the contrary, she was exceptionally kind.

Even a commoner, who was looked down upon by most Professionals, was respected by her.

Immediately.

Ning Xiwei felt a sense of goodwill toward her.

Lu Chen's gaze fell upon Princess.

A small crimson flame flickered slightly.

Interesting.

At this time.

Princess stood by the bronze giant gate.

The maid Xiu Xiu widened her innocent eyes, hands on her hips, patrolling the hundreds of Professionals on the scene.

Many people lowered their heads when they met Xiu Xiu's gaze.

"I wonder where those two girls came from?"

"Their strength is quite impressive. That Tier 3 Peak Professional just now was floored with one punch."

"Don't go looking for trouble, lest that fist lands on you."

Thus.

As more and more Professionals gathered, they became much more well-behaved after hearing about Xiu Xiu's fist.

The city's civilians also took this opportunity to begin their retreat.

Soon, many people couldn't help themselves and were the first to walk into the bronze giant gate.

The entrance to the gate was hazy.

It was impossible to see the situation inside clearly.

"Ninth Young Miss, let's go in too!"

Xiu Xiu couldn't help but say.

Princess scanned the Professionals and then looked at the civilians in the distance, feeling a bit worried.

"Oh, come on, Ninth Young Miss. The civilians are standing so far away. Only a Professional with a mental problem would run over there specifically to bully them."

Princess nodded.

Then, together with Xiu Xiu, she walked into the haziness of the bronze giant gate and disappeared.

It wasn't until the two girls disappeared.

That the hundreds of Professionals nearby breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they didn't really do as Xiu Xiu said and deliberately run off to bully the civilians.

But just then.

Over a dozen civilians were blasted from the sky.

They crashed to the ground with thuds.

Seriously injured!

Then.

An incredibly arrogant, loud voice rang out,

"Chen Shouyi, City Lord Chen, you won't mind if I slaughter a few of your civilians, will you?"
