Chapter 866 -863: Harassment from the Black Dragon Sect_1
“Are you joking? Our Liang City Lord leaves the city, and you don’t give him any special privileges? Are you blind, you Black Dragon Sect members? Do you not even know the city you’re occupying?”
“Exactly, our City Lord has to go out to save his child, yet the people from the Black Dragon Sect are flaunting their prowess here, deliberately making things difficult for our City Lord. The City Lord has many martial artists under his command, and there must be some in the True Martial Realm Sixth Stage and the Fifth Stage. You want to capture them all. How can our City Lord leave the city?”
“We’ve endured you Black Dragon Sect members for long enough!”
Yang Chen was suddenly taken aback, looking around and noticing that Du Zhuifeng had not yet lost his temper, but the surrounding martial artists from Liang City who were escorting Du Zhuifeng were the first to become angry.

As one group erupted in anger, other foreign martial artists who were leaving the city immediately joined in. This is how such matters usually developed, if the Black Dragon Sect hadn’t provoked public outrage, people might have let it go, but now the Black Dragon Sect had made everyone furious.
Without Du Zhuifeng’s situation as a tipping point, everyone could still tolerate it, at least there wasn’t a starting point.
...
But now, the respected Du Zhuifeng, who wants to save his own children, has to endure such treatment. Who can bear it?
Once one person stepped up and cursed, everyone began to curse. It spread like wildfire, and an unknown number of people joined in. The whole area near the city gate quickly became crowded.
“Have the Black Dragon Sect members lost their shame? Don’t they see that the City Lord wants to save his child?”
“I think the people in the Black Dragon Sect just want to deliberately make things difficult for the City Lord!”
“If the Black Dragon Sect really tries to harm the City Lord, we’ll fight them! We’ve had enough anyway. We don’t need to leave the city, but they won’t let the City Lord go. Is there no law and order? This is an outright attempt to cover the sky with one hand, and we won’t stand for it!”
“We absolutely disagree! The Black Dragon Sect has gone too far!”
“Open the city gates! Open the city gates!”
“Open the city gates! Open the city gates!”
For a moment, the loud voices rang out, spreading in all directions.
The actions of the Black Dragon Sect had provoked public outrage.
Master Du hadn’t even thought about this. Although he was well-loved by people on ordinary days, he never imagined that so many people would turn against the Black Dragon Sect for him.
As Yang Chen watched, he couldn’t help but sigh. Perhaps this was the charisma of Du Zhuifeng’s character that others should admire. At the very least, Du Zhuifeng could win people’s hearts and minds.
Master Du was touched by the number of people standing up for him. He would be lying if he said it didn’t make him happy.
However, the most infuriating part was that Captain Li and the others from the Black Dragon Sect still didn’t seem to want to let this matter go easily.
“Captain, so many people are supporting Master Du. What should we do about this situation?”
“Why don’t we…back down for now…”
“Nonsense.” Captain Li, an elder with an eight-character mustache, said in a deep voice, “You want me to back down to Du Zhuifeng? There’s no chance. Don’t be afraid. Let those loose cultivators make a fuss, they won’t unite. They will back down soon enough. They don’t dare to fight against our Black Dragon Sect.”
“But what if…” The city defenders hesitated.
“There is no ‘what if’!” Captain Li glared at them fiercely.
The defenders gulped and obediently closed their mouths.
With a wicked sneer in his heart, Captain Li cast a disdainful glance at the shouting people. He didn’t think the martial artists of Liang City, this rabble, would be able to help Du Zhuifeng. It was a dream!
However, just as this thought crossed Captain Li’s mind, suddenly…
“If the Black Dragon Sect members don’t intend to open the city gates, let’s fight them!”
“That’s right, I can’t take it anymore!”
“If the city gates aren’t opened, we will fight the Black Dragon Sect members! After the fight, we will leave Liang City. We don’t believe they can kill all of us.”
“I can’t bear it any longer! I’ve got a scar as big as a bowl on my head, what can they do to me!”
“Master Du had once shown me grace in the past. For him, I, Hu San, will be the first to step forward. Who’s with me!”
“Me!”
“I am too!”
When the first person stepped forward, the second quickly followed.
Martial artists who couldn’t leave Liang City were all infuriated. They glared fiercely at the Black Dragon Sect members.
At first, Captain Li didn’t take them seriously, thinking they were just swaggering on borrowed authority. But when he took a closer look, he shuddered and didn’t dare to underestimate these martial artists from all directions. If these martial artists gathered together, how could their small group of people be enough, especially after Du Zhuifeng caused such an uproar today?
“Captain Li, let’s back down. Otherwise, if things get worse and that Yang kid escapes in the chaos, the blame will still fall on us,” someone said.
“Yes, Captain Li. Don’t let your emotions get the better of you. Give Master Du a way out to set a precedent. Calm things down; our goal is Yang Chen!”
With mixed feelings, Captain Li finally changed his face and said, “Fine, let it go for now!”
Upon hearing Captain Li’s words, the people down below hurriedly tried to calm things down. “Gentlemen, please calm down first!”
“Let that Captain Li apologize, let him let Master Du out of the city!”
“We don’t want your apology. Let Captain Li apologize!”
“That’s right! He was so arrogant just now, if he doesn’t apologize, we won’t leave!”
The martial artists of Liang City were already angry. Their eyes were not faulty; how could they not see that the cause of all this was Captain Li?
Caught off guard, Li watched as all eyes focused on him and gritted his teeth, “You want me to apologize?”
“Captain Li, let’s back down for now,” his subordinates urged. “If something happens, we will be held responsible. Captain Li, you should think carefully.”
Captain Li hesitated for a moment, thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, “Fine, I apologize. Master Du, I’ll let you leave the city, but on one condition.”
Angered, he felt as if fire was burning on his face, causing a burning pain.
He apologized.
But he had no choice; he could only apologize and concede. However, he would not make it easy for them.
Captain Li had already thought of a solution.
