The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 867: Chapter 864: Killing Their Prestige_1

Du Zhuifeng could almost guess that Captain Li would not easily give up. In addition to submitting, he would surely add some other conditions, secretly mixing some conspiracies into the situation.

However, as the saying goes, ‘Soldiers will block the way, waters will block the soil,’ Du Zhuifeng had already prepared and asked, “What does Captain Li mean?”

“It’s simple. I understand your eagerness to save your child, but we have rules here. You can pass and we’ll waive all inspections for you, but you can’t bring your subordinates out of the city!” Captain Li explained.

His intention was simple – Du Zhuifeng could leave the city, but he couldn’t bring his subordinates with him. This would essentially mean that Du Zhuifeng would not enjoy any privileges and, since everyone already knew that Du Zhuifeng was an Earth Martial Realm Warrior, there was no need to specifically examine his strength again.

However, Captain Li made one mistake.

He thought nobody could see through his intentions, not realizing that nobody was a fool!

The loose martial artists nearby could easily understand Captain Li’s intentions, and their anger, which had not yet subsided, flared up again: “Li, you’re going too far!”

“That’s right! If you don’t let Master Du take people out, how is this any different from making things difficult for him?”

“I think this Li has no intention of letting Master Du leave peacefully. He’s just making things difficult for him. We’ll fight him!”

“The people from the Black Dragon Sect are unreasonable. There’s no point in talking to them.”

Upon hearing their words, Captain Li stood there, dumbfounded. He thought his tactics would slowly dissolve the anger of these loose martial artists, and then he could subtly make things difficult for Du Zhuifeng.

However, looking at the situation now, not only did their tactics not work, but it only made the martial artists angrier.

Captain Li swallowed hard and looked fearfully at the fierce martial artists around him.

He couldn’t say he wasn’t afraid. After all, as his subordinates had mentioned, if the situation escalated and the martial artists of Liang City attacked together, allowing Yang Chen to escape in the chaos, he would be the one to suffer.

After all, he was the person in charge of Liang City.

His subordinates had also scolded him, commenting on his reluctance to submit cleanly. What was he trying to achieve?

Now the anger was difficult to quell.

“Captain Li, if you don’t show some consideration and something goes wrong, who will be responsible?” One of his subordinates finally couldn’t stand it any longer, questioning Captain Li.

Seeing Captain Li’s scalp tingling under the questioning, Du Zhuifeng pondered for a short time before exchanging looks with Yang Chen, seemingly having an idea.

“Captain Li, I believe in giving and receiving respect, and we should all save face for each other. You want me to go without my subordinates, and I can’t fully agree to that. I need to bring two people, just two. They are my servants and distant relatives. This is Du Long, and this is Du Xiaoqian.”

Du Zhuifeng pointed to Yang Chen and Jiang Caiying, both disguised.

Yang Chen and Jiang Caiying lowered their heads, mimicking the posture of servants.

Du Zhuifeng slowly said, “These two need to take care of my daily needs and are always by my side. Of course, I’ll only bring the two of them. I wonder what Captain Li thinks!”

Du Zhuifeng struck a moderate tone, and to the others, it seemed he had given Captain Li enough face despite Li’s oppressive behavior.

All of Captain Li’s subordinates would have probably let Du Zhuifeng leave with his children and the two servants. However, Captain Li still refused to give up and thought for a while before his eyes turned cold.

“Alright, but they still have to undergo inspection!” Captain Li said.

Du Zhuifeng’s expression tightened.

Did Captain Li truly fail to understand human relations, or was he just pretending not to understand? Du Zhuifeng had given him a way out, so why couldn’t he just let them leave?

Captain Li looked at Yang Chen and Jiang Caiying: “Are you two Du Zhuifeng’s distant relatives?”

“Absolutely, Sir! I am Du Long. My great-grandfather’s generation had only Du Master who succeeded through cultivation to excel the entire village, so I came to join Master Du.” Yang Chen had already prepared a story with Du Zhuifeng and spoke smoothly.

Captain Li nodded and said, “Accept the inspection. If you’re honest, you shouldn’t be afraid of it.”

“Captain Li, that’s a bit too much. These two distant relatives of mine are not martial artists at all. You want them to undergo inspection? Can they even withstand it? The inspection instruments are all harmful to the body. Although martial artists can endure it, how can these two ordinary people bear it?” Du Zhuifeng said with a serious tone, “I told you, Captain Li, I’ll only bring these two people. Won’t you even give me this face?”

He then showed his anger, which he had planned all along. This was a solution he devised on the spot, a way to borrow the power of those around him.

Even the two non-cultivators couldn’t be let go?

When Du Zhuifeng’s anger rose, the other martial artists in Liang City also started making noise.

“Exactly, Li, are you ever going to end this? Master Du is only bringing two people out, and you’re still going on and on!”

“Li, open the city gate and let Master Du go!”

Captain Li wasn’t afraid of anyone else but the martial artists around him. Hearing their words, he gritted his teeth, not knowing what to do.

“Captain Li… Why don’t you just let them go directly? It’s not a big deal for Master Du to bring two distant relatives out of the city,” one of Captain Li’s subordinates said.

In fact, Captain Li never suspected that the two people Du Zhuifeng brought were actually Yang Chen and Jiang Caiying. He just didn’t want to submit completely and let Du Zhuifeng go easily.

But now, with no other choice, he had to give up. What could he do when the martial artists around him clearly wanted to help Du Zhuifeng?

Captain Li sighed, then said, “Alright, Master Du, you can leave the city now. But you can only bring these two people, not anyone else.”

“Of course.” Du Zhuifeng replied slowly, “Du Long, Du Xiaoqian, let’s leave the city!”

“Humph, I don’t believe this Li! He had to submit in the end!”

“Hahaha, look at him. Wasn’t he showing off at the beginning? In the end, didn’t he have to give in?”

“If you ask me, the people from the Black Dragon Sect are just a bunch of bullies. If you don’t show them your strength, they’ll never realize you’re a tough guy!”

“They deserve to have their arrogance crushed!”

Hearing the surrounding discussions, Captain Li’s face turned ugly. As he watched Du Zhuifeng leading the two servants out of the city, he finally had no choice but to shake his head and submit.
