Chapter 389: Deserve To Die!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The city lord personally led the way. Shuang Yun and the others followed behind him as they swaggered through the streets of the city.

Shuang Yun and the others had entered through the city gate. They were leaving through the west city gate now.

But just as they were about to reach the west city gate, a group of beasts suddenly rushed out and attacked Shuang Yun and the others without a word!

Shuang Yun and the others, who were already prepared, immediately transformed into beasts and fought with the other party.

The scene was in chaos.

The city lord smiled grimly at the scene in front of him.

“Yin Jie, I can finally avenge you!”

He had planned to lure Bai Di and the others into his residence and poison their food.

Unfortunately, Bai Di and the others weren’t fooled. The city lord had no choice but to use force.

He’d already thought about it.

If Bai Luo pursued the matter after it was done, he just had to say that there were assassins in the city and he didn’t know who sent them. He would just push all the blame to those assassins.

In any case, High Priest Wen Qian had promised that as long as he could get rid of Bai Di and the others, he would deal with the rest.

Not only could he avenge his son, but he also did not have to bear the responsibility. This was a good deal for the city lord.

A servant beside him advised, “The scene is too chaotic. City Lord, please go and hide first.”

“Okay.”

The city lord turned to leave. Huanhuan, who was picked up by Xue Ling and flying in the air, saw this scene. She immediately took out her bow and drew it. She aimed at the city lord’s back.

She released her fingers, and the arrow tore through the air and flew toward the city lord!

The city lord instinctively sensed danger behind him and dodged to the side.

The bamboo arrow shot past his arm and pierced deep into the ground.

The city lord’s expression changed drastically when he saw the still trembling arrow. He didn’t have time to look back and quickly fled.

Without hesitation, Huanhuan shot three more arrows.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The city lord dodged the first two arrows and was shot in the calf by the last arrow. He knelt on the ground on the spot.

Huanhuan glanced at Xue Hui. “Go get him.”

“Alright!”

Xue Hui leaned down and rushed down. At this moment, the city lord had just stood up. He pulled the bamboo arrow out with all his might. However, a large piece of flesh was torn off by the barbs on the arrowhead. His face was pale from the pain.

At that moment, Xue Hui descended from the sky, grabbed him by the neck, and picked him up.

The surrounding guards rushed over to help.

But they were too late. Xue Hui had already grabbed the city lord and flown into the sky.

Huanhuan said slowly, “With a hostage, it’ll be easier for us to do things.”

Xue Ling laughed. “I realize you’ve been getting smarter lately.”

Last night, she deliberately cried to scare him and make him take the initiative to compromise. Today, she used the same trick again. Her thought process was faster than anyone else’s.

Huanhuan raised her chin and said proudly, “I wasn’t stupid to begin with.”

“Yes, it seems I’ve underestimated you.”

Xue Ling flew to the city wall with Huanhuan and got Little Green to tie the city lord tightly before hanging him on the city wall.

Xue Ling looked down at the people below and said unhurriedly, “Beastmen of the Red Crystal City, look at this carefully. Your city lord is on the city wall now. If any of you dare to make any further moves, I’ll kill him immediately!”

As soon as he said this, the originally chaotic scene suddenly fell silent for a moment, then became extremely noisy.

Many beasts were anxiously shouting for the city lord to be careful!

The city lord’s calf and arm were still bleeding. He raised his head with difficulty. “The people who tried to assassinate you have nothing to do with Red Crystal City. I don’t know them at all. Even if you kill me, you won’t be able to threaten them.”

Xue Ling sneered. “In that case, I’ll kill you now. Die with us.”

“You!”

The city lord was so angry that he could not speak. His face turned even paler from the blood loss.

As for the assassins, they had scruples, and their movements involuntarily slowed down.

In addition, many beasts were in a hurry to save the city lord. They blocked the way of the assassins and restricted them. Shuang Yun, Bai Di, and the others seized the opportunity to break out and rush to the west city gate.

Huanhuan said, “Bai Di and Shuang Yun have escaped. Should we let them go?”

Xue Ling asked instead of answering, “I praised you for being smart just now. Why have you become stupid now?”

Huanhuan was unhappy. “How am I stupid?!”

“Since we’ve openly used the city lord as a hostage, it’s equivalent to officially falling out with him. If we let him go now, he’ll definitely come looking for trouble with us later.”

“Then what should we do? We can’t kill him in front of so many people, right?”

“Yes, killing him is indeed a good idea.”

Huanhuan quickly said, “He’s a city lord, after all. If we kill him openly, the entire Red Crystal City will hate us. Moreover, the City of 10,000 Beasts will definitely not let us off. Don’t be rash.”

“He deserves to die for attempting to assassinate the royal family. What’s wrong with us killing him?”

Huanhuan was stunned. There was Bai Di on their team. Bai Di was indeed a legitimate member of the royal family. An attempt to assassinate him was a capital crime.

“But we have no evidence that these assassins were sent by the city lord of the Red Crystal City, right?”

“You can have as much evidence as you want as long as you have the heart.”

Huanhuan quickly reacted. “Don’t tell me you want to fabricate evidence?”

Xue Ling smiled but said nothing.

Huanhuan was so frightened by his boldness that she didn’t know what to say. In the end, she only squeezed out the words, “Do whatever you want.”

Xue Ling kissed her cheek and left her in the care of Xue Hui.

He flew down, grabbed the city lord, and dug out his heart!

Blood immediately splattered, scaring all the beasts present.

Xue Ling looked around and crushed the heart in his hand. He said coldly, “The famous city lord of the Red Crystal City attempted to assassinate a member of the royal family. He deserves to die!”

Just then, Yin Jie arrived.

He sat on his horse, his legs hanging down in a very unnatural manner. His cheeks were pale and thin, and he was shrouded in a dark aura.

When he saw his father’s heart being torn out, his eyes widened as he shouted, “Father!”

Xue Ling looked in the direction of the voice. “According to the rules, as the son of the city lord of the Red Crystal City, you’ll be executed too.”

Yin Jie roared, “What right do you have to say that my father attempted to murder a member of the royal family? What evidence do you have?!”

“Of course, I have evidence.”

Xue Ling flew down and grabbed an assassin to question who had sent him.

The assassin refused to say.

Xue Ling asked, “Do you want to experience the thrill of having your heart dug out?”

When the assassin recalled the city lord’s tragic death earlier, his heart turned cold. He directly poisoned himself!

Seeing that he was dead, Xue Ling’s expression remained unchanged. He reached out and searched him for a red crystal.

Xue Ling raised the red crystal. “Look, this red crystal has the unique emblem of the Red Crystal City on its surface. This is something only the city lord of the Red Crystal City has. Now that it has appeared on the assassins, doesn’t this mean that these assassins were sent by the city lord?!”

There was an uproar.
