The people standing guard outside the city waited outside for two days and two nights, but no one came out from inside. They could not help but worry.

Just as they were at a loss to know what to do, the entrance on the city wall opened again.

This time, they were no longer in a hurry to enter the entrance like before. Instead, they stood outside and observed in secret.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement at the entrance. After some people threw a large lump of stuff out, they turned around and walked back inside.

“Let’s go see what those things are.” Two people walked out from the dark and quickly ran to the lump to check. After pulling it open, they realized that it was actually the clothes of their companions, but the clothes had been torn into pieces and were covered in flesh and blood.

When the two of them saw this, their eyes widened abruptly in fear. They subconsciously turned around to look at the entrance.

At first glance, it was totally dark inside. It was impossible to see what was inside.

Suddenly, a pair of green eyes appeared in their line of sight. A black figure was getting closer and closer, and those two guys seemed to detect a wave of bloodthirsty aura.

The two of them clenched their fists, but their legs seemed to be frozen to the spot. Gradually, the black figure appeared. It was a ferocious tiger.

The two guys were so scared that their faces turned pale. They turned around and ran, but the tiger would never give them the chance to escape. It gave a mighty leap and pounced on one of the men before biting down on his neck.

The other guy screamed in fear.

“Argh! Help, help! Help me, help me!” he screamed as he turned to run. The tiger released the man in its mouth and chased the second man. It pounced on that man from behind and bit down on his neck as he struggled.

At this moment, the people hiding in the dark were all scared shitless. They looked in shock at the big tiger that was much larger than an ordinary tiger and did not even dare to breathe!

No wonder there was no news from the people who went in previously. Once they entered, there was such a big guy waiting for them. How could they still come out alive?

Roar!

After the tiger bit and broke the neck of the second man, it slowly turned to look at the hiding place where the remaining people were. The moment those people’s eyes met the tiger’s gaze, their souls were almost whisked away!

Bright red blood was still slowly dripping off the tiger’s long whiskers. It turned around and walked towards that group of people step by step.

“It’s coming, it’s coming! Quick, run! The tiger is coming! Run!”

When people were confronted by fear, they would instinctively run or hide. When they heard the frightened people in front shouting, the people hiding behind them also panicked and began running.

Roar!

The tiger roared and ran after those people.

“Help me… The tiger is eating people!”

The group of people were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

Su Ying slowly walked out. She narrowed her eyes as she looked at the people running for their lives madly. She picked up the stones on the ground and shot them out one by one.

“Argh!”

Someone was hit by a rock and fell to the ground straightaway, screaming in pain.

The black-robed men and the gray-robed men who were hiding in the surroundings appeared and blocked the paths of those people.

“Big Kitty, come back.”

The tiger, which was having an enjoyable biting spree, let out a low growl and walked back to Su Ying’s side with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Su Ying leaped up and sat on its back. Then she raised her voice and said, “Those who surrender, let them live.”

These people had been scared out of their wits by the tiger earlier, and now that they had been surrounded by those robed men, they panicked and turned to look at Su Ying.

“Who… who are you? Who are you exactly?”

Su Ying lowered her eyes slightly and looked at them icily. “Do you think you are worthy of knowing? Pick two people and tell them to go back and tell their masters that if they want to redeem your wretched lives, bring me a thousand taels of gold. I’ll be waiting here. Do it.”

“Yes, City Lord.”

The black-robed man straightaway went forward and pushed two people out. When those two people saw this, they quickly scrambled and stumbled away. The remaining people were tied up, blindfolded, and escorted into the city.

“What do you plan to do to the Li Clan?” At some point, Xiao Jin had appeared behind Su Ying.

Su Ying patted the tiger’s head. The tiger obediently turned around and brought her toward the entrance.

“They have killed so many people from the tribes. They have to pay the price.”

Since Su Ying wanted to retain the people from the tribes, she had to at least help them seek revenge. Besides, the Li Clan was angry that the people of the tribes were snatching business from them. Su Ying wanted to embark on a massive development in the field of medicine in the future. That meant the Li Clan was her rival. It was perfectly natural for her to deal with her rival.

“The Li Clan is involved with the Imperial Family of the Nan State. Aren’t you afraid that the army will really attack in the future?” Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows and said in a teasing manner.

Su Ying crossed her arms as she turned her almond-shaped eyes to look in the direction of the inner city. Her clear pupils were filled with determination. “The process of establishing a race and its subsequent rise to power is destined to be fraught with bloodbaths. Those who stand at the top will not want those who live below to climb up. Xiao Jin, will you let those who framed you off?”

Xiao Jin’s eyes widened, and he clenched his two fists tightly. The viciousness between his brows was obvious, and his entire body was instantly enveloped by a hostile aura.

This was the first time he had shown such a sinister appearance in front of Su Ying since he arrived in the northern wilderness.

Su Ying patted him on the shoulder. “If you are already in this state, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Xiao Jin looked at her determined expression and withdrew his hostile aura. He laughed out loud. “That’s true. Who else in the world can be scarier than you?” Su Ying frowned. Why didn’t these words sound like a compliment?

“Are you complimenting me?”

Xiao Jin’s expression was firm. “Yes.”

“Should I thank you?”

“If you know your manners…”

“Get lost!”

Those two guys who were released did not dare to stop for a rest as they fled back to the Nan State.

Right now, the conflicts between the Nan State and the Chu State at the borders were becoming more and more frequent. A war seemed on the verge of breaking out at any moment, and the checks on border entries and exits had become stricter.

The two men had yet to recover from the horror of seeing their companions’ necks being bitten in two when they returned to the Li Clan’s residence.

Li Ren leaned against a rocking chair and leisurely rotated two walnuts whose surfaces had been worn down until very smooth in his hand. After listening to the two of them, he opened his eyes. “Sky Alpha City…”

“Yes, yes. It’s that damned place. Those tribes have all hidden there. Second Master, why don’t we forget about this matter? That place is very evil.”

“Are you saying you want me to let them go after they have captured so many of our people?”

“But Second Master, that place is really too dangerous…”

“Go. Prepare some gold. I want to see in person what kind of place it is,” Second Master said.

The two of them widened their eyes in shock. Their eyes seemed to be implying Second Master must be tired of living.

Even the general guarding the border had to show the Li Clan some respect. A mere plot of land like the northern wilderness wanted to walk all over him? What a joke!

Second Master Li Ren had lived for so many years, but the phrase “admit defeat” still did not exist in his dictionary!

“Prepare a generous gift for me. I want to meet General Wei Wu.”

“Yes, Sir..”
