...

Crack...

Crack...

Crack...

In the dark clouds, flashes of lightning kept bursting forth, carrying an immense pressure.

Ning Fan's arms trembled.

It wasn't fear that made him shake, but the direct sensation of his opponent's power when he had just split the lightning. Even after dissipating nearly seventy percent of its force, the remaining energy still made his arms go numb.

His two arms were already swollen.

"Soul Servant: Amber."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind Ning Fan.

"Kid, keep going."

Wen Cai's beautiful eyes were cold as she said, "Sister's got your back!"

"You..."

Ning Fan was incredulous.

Wen Cai was actually using a Soul Servant within the district too?

"What are you 'you-ing' about?"

Wen Cai gritted her teeth, "This bastard killed my deputy captain. If I hold back now, how can I call myself a captain?!"

As she spoke, the earrings on Wen Cai's ears began to emit a golden light.

That light rapidly streamed out, enveloping Ye Liang.

"Get him!"

Wen Cai shouted fiercely.

Ning Fan hesitated no longer. He stomped on the ground and thrust his sword directly at Ye Liang's throat.

Ye Liang was about to wave his hand, but he found that the golden light surrounding him gave him a sticky feeling.

This greatly restricted his movements.

And in front of him, the tip of Ning Fan's sword was already less than a meter from his neck!

"Sigh..."

Ye Liang let out a sigh.

In the next instant, his gaze sank.

He lifted his lame leg and stomped it hard on the ground!

Ning Fan could clearly feel that the moment he lifted his lame leg, his entire aura underwent a drastic change.

It was like a sharp sword...

Being unsheathed!

"General Ye, coming to visit my F27 doesn't require such a big commotion, does it?"

A deep voice came from afar.

Ye Liang's expression changed slightly, and the sharp aura around him instantly disappeared.

His lame foot landed gently on the ground, and at the same time, he tilted his body, just avoiding Ning Fan's incoming sword.

Then, Ye Liang's body shook, and the golden light around him instantly dispersed, turning into twinkling stars that disappeared into the air.

Wen Cai was stunned.

Her Soul Servant had been shaken off like dust by him?

Before she could come to her senses, she saw Ye Liang raise his hand and lightly pat towards Ning Fan's chest.

Ning Fan responded immediately as soon as the other party dodged, holding his sword in front of him for protection.

Ye Liang's palm hit the blade of the sword.

Buzz!!

A teeth-jarring buzzing sound came from the blade.

Ning Fan's figure flew back several meters before staggering to the ground.

Ye Liang narrowed his eyes, staring at Ning Fan for a moment, then looked thoughtfully at his own palm.

On the other side, Ning Fan and Wen Cai were equally shocked.

The deadly trap they had just set up together had been so easily neutralized by the opponent?

And this was with him holding back.

If no one had stopped him, when that lame foot had stomped down just now...

What would have happened?

As the three were lost in their thoughts, a car slowly drove up on the street beside them.

The car door opened, and a chubby middle-aged man got out.

"Tonight... is quite lively, isn't it?"

Seeing the chubby man, Wen Cai immediately straightened up, her face solemn.

"Chief!"

This man was the highest authority in F27 district!

The Chief, Li Jiang.

Li Jiang looked at the somewhat disheveled Wen Cai and nodded slightly, then turned to Ye Liang.

"General Ye, I've long heard of you."

"Are you the Chief of F27 district?"

"Yes, Li Jiang."

Li Jiang, with the appearance of a smiling tiger, looked amiable as he smiled, "General Ye, you can just call me Little Li."

Ye Liang cupped his hands, "I came here this time..."

"To pick up Sovereign Su's beloved son, right? Come with me!"

Li Jiang politely invited Ye Liang into the car.

Wen Cai suddenly became anxious, "Chief! Su Bei is an A-class felon! We've already notified the central district to come and take him..."

"I'll communicate with the central district."

Li Jiang pointed at Ye Liang, "The 'Thousand Soul Ye Liang' has come personally to pick him up, we should... give him this face."

"Thou-Thousand Soul..."

Wen Cai finally understood that the person she had just faced...

Was a 'Thousand Soul' level expert!

"Are you really going to release Su Bei?"

Ning Fan suddenly called out to Li Jiang.

Li Jiang stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked Ning Fan up and down.

"Kid, what's your job?"

"I'm the one who caught Su Bei."

"Ah, promising."

Li Jiang smiled slightly, "Alright, it's getting late, go back and rest!"

"I said, I'm the one who caught Su Bei."

Ning Fan emphasized again.

Li Jiang raised an eyebrow, "And then?"

"Sister Cai said I couldn't kill him because there are regulations from above. A-class felons need to be taken away by the central district."

Ning Fan pointed at Ye Liang, "Is he from the central district?"

"Ning Fan..."

Wen Cai pulled at Ning Fan.

But Ning Fan still looked at Li Jiang neither humbly nor arrogantly, waiting for his answer.

"He's not."

Li Jiang's smile faded, "Kid, you're not satisfied, huh?"

Saying this, Li Jiang first said to Ye Liang, "General Ye, please get in the car first. Don't keep the young sovereign waiting. I'll handle this."

"Alright."

Ye Liang didn't stand on ceremony.

After the car drove away, Li Jiang walked towards Ning Fan.

He was much shorter than Ning Fan and had to look up to make eye contact.

"That Ye Liang, you can't handle him."

Ning Fan was about to speak, but Li Jiang was quicker, "No need to act tough. It's not shameful to not be his match! There are few in the entire F district who can handle him!"

"Su Bei will definitely be taken away. If you're not satisfied, wait until they're out of this gate, and I won't interfere with whatever you want to do! If you really have the ability to snatch Su Bei from Ye Liang's hands, that's your skill!"

Wen Cai was also somewhat unwilling at this point, "But, Chief, that Ye Liang killed Old Meng!"

"I know."

Li Jiang no longer had the demeanor of a smiling tiger from earlier, but instead sighed, "Allocate a pension to Old Meng's family, and I'll personally contribute fifty thousand Solas..."

"It's not about the money, Chief!"

Wen Cai became agitated, "Why do we have to swallow this anger? At worst, we can report to the central district, let them..."

"Why?"

Li Jiang looked at her, "Because he's Su Wanjun's son! Even if you report to the central district, and they send someone to take Su Bei away, they'll still send him back to the Tri-Sovereign Alliance Zone."

"Haven't you wondered why Ye Liang got the news of Su Bei's arrest so quickly? We had just caught him, and Ye Liang was already here. If we didn't leak the information, who else could it be?"

The answer was obvious!

The central district!

For a moment, both Wen Cai and Ning Fan felt a lump in their throats, as if something was stuck there.

"I know what you're thinking. Let me put it this way! If I really confronted Ye Liang and mobilized the entire F27 district's forces, we could certainly stop him! No matter how strong Ye Liang is, he's just one person!"

Li Jiang smiled bitterly, "But do you know what the consequences would be if we forcibly stopped Ye Liang and kept Su Bei here?"

"Su Wanjun would come personally."

Li Jiang's eyes flickered slightly, "And he'd bring his army."
