It was a nice evening the wind whistled through the night lantern illuminated most parts of qifeng city on this night most people had gone in for the night only a few people were out and about
He had gone into the room he rented for the night he brought out the spirit butterfly and asked
" Can you talk "
Jin said
" Of course it can speak "
Jin came out and the gentle spirit butterfly was shocked to see Jin as it wanted to know what connection he had to Zhou yu for them to be this close it said
" Gold kunpeng , what are you doing here "
Jin replied
" I should be asking you that question , what are you doing here "
The gentle spirit butterfly said it was because of Jin it had been captured Jin said
" Me "
The butterfly continued
" Previously when we couldn't find you we could still feel your aura , suddenly your aura vanished some said humans came and took you away some said you left yourself so everyone wanted to do the same "
Jin said
" Wait don't tell me , demonic beast mountain range is empty now "
The spirit butterfly nodded and Jin broke all the vase within the room furiously with his aura the spirit butterfly knew if it kept speaking Jin could kill it so it kept quiet Jin said
" Do you all want to die , have you forgotten the agreement "
Suddenly the streets of qifeng City were in chaos merchants fled in terror stalls overturned mortals knelt on the ground, trembling as a young cultivator in crimson robes stood in the center of the market square his name was Zhao Feng.
A disciple of the Black Serpent Sect at his feet lay several guards, their bones shattered before him stood a young woman dressed in elegant blue robes though beautiful, her face was pale with fear she was the daughter of qifeng City's lord su Yan.
"Miss Su," Zhao Feng sneered. "You dared reject my invitation. Have you forgotten your status?"
Su Yan clenched her fists she was only a mortal no matter how much influence her father possessed among mortals, it meant nothing before a cultivator the surrounding guards were helpless.
Nobody dared move everyone knew the truth a cultivator killing mortals was commonplace unless the victim had a powerful backing, justice simply did not exist.
"You... you cannot do this in the city!" Su Yan said.
Zhao Feng laughed.
"Cannot?"
A terrifying pressure descended the nearby guards immediately collapsed.
"Who will stop me?"
His hand reached toward Su Yan at that moment a figure appeared no one saw where he came from one instant the street was empty the next, a young man in white stood between Zhao Feng and Su Yan his expression was calm his eyes were cold zhao Feng frowned
"Who are you?"
Zhou yu ignored him Instead, he looked at Su Yan.
"Are you injured?"
Su Yan shook her head blankly Only then did the Zhou yu turn toward Zhao Feng he said
"I'll give you one chance , leave."
Silence filled the street then Zhao Feng burst into laughter a mere wandering cultivator was threatening him?
"Do you know who I am?"
Zhou yu expression remained unchanged.
"No , and I don't care." Zhou yu said
Boom!
A violent aura exploded from Zhao Feng the beginning realm the nearby mortals nearly fainted yet the Zhou Yu stood unmoving his gaze was as still as an ancient lake a bad feeling suddenly emerged in Zhao Feng's heart unfortunately, it was too late before he could finish speaking, Zhou yu grabbed him by the neck and punched him unconscious
Crack!
Several ribs shattered instantly his body shot through three buildings the entire city square fell silent everyone stared with open mouths one move only one move
The arrogant cultivator had been defeated zhao Feng crawled from the rubble, blood pouring from his mouth fear finally appeared in his eyes.
"You..."
Zhou yu took a step forward murder intent surged for the first time, Zhao Feng understood the person before him could kill him effortlessly his legs weakened meanwhile, Su Yan's face became pale.
"Senior!"
Zhou yu stopped su Yan immediately bowed.
"Please spare him!"
Everyone was stunned spare him the man had nearly abducted her why plead for his life tears appeared in Su Yan's eyes.
"If he dies, his sect will seek revenge my father ,The city ,they cannot endure it."
Zhou yu fell silent he finally understood mortals and cultivators lived in different worlds killing Zhao Feng was easy protecting the city afterward was not.
If a beginning realm disciple died here, his elders would investigate when they learned he had been killed while pursuing a mortal woman the city would suffer Zhou Yu slowly lowered his hand.
Zhao Feng immediately retreated several steps his eyes burned with hatred.
"You'll regret this."
Zhao Feng shivered without another word, he fled only after he disappeared beyond the horizon did the city finally breathe again that evening the City Lord's Manor was brightly illuminated city Lord Su personally hosted a banquet his face was full of gratitude.
"Benefactor, had you not intervened, my daughter would have suffered a terrible fate."
Zhou yu calmly drank his wine he was now a wandering cultivator though he appeared relaxed, he noticed everything especially the flicker of calculation hidden within the city lord's eyes the banquet continued one cup became two two became ten.
Musicians performed dancers entertained hours passed whenever Zhou Yu attempted to leave, the city lord found another reason to stop him he said
"Benefactor, stay one more night benefactor, allow me to prepare a gift benefactor, tomorrow I shall personally escort you from the city."
Zhou yu smiled faintly inside, his eyes grew colder this city lord was afraid afraid Zhao Feng would return afraid the Black Serpent Sect would seek revenge most importantly afraid the enemy would arrive after Zhou yu left so he used gratitude as chains the city lord wanted him to remain.
Just long enough long enough to become a shield Zhou yu understood everything yet he said nothing he merely continued drinking.
