“Get out of my way! How dare you block me! Do you want to die?” Qinqing Mu angrily said as she pointed at the four guards.

The four guards remained silent but they coldly smiled. The black spears in their hands blocked Qingqing Mu’s way, not letting her enter unless she gave up some vitality stones.

At that moment, the atmosphere around the gate was tense, and any movement would trigger a fight to break out.

The crowd watched and commented in the distance.

“Did you see that? She’s the Mu Family’s second daughter and she’s very famous in the Greater Luo City, but even she was threatened to hand over vitality stones.”

“I know, I didn’t want to give up a vitality stone but was beaten. In the end, I had to give it to them.”

“Did you see that a member of a small clan was killed? Because he was relying on his position in the Greater Luo City and tried not to pay the vitality stone.”

“What are you talking about? I’ve lived in the Greater Luo City for decades and never had to give up vitality stones. Why do I have to now?”

“Who knows, I heard that it was the young city lord, the son of the city lord. No one would dare to resist.”

All the self cultivators in the surrounding area were quietly exchanging their opinions.

Most of these people were unsatisfied with the vitality stone toll, but they could not do anything about it.

Standing up to the young city lord would be futile, as they were only normal self cultivators.

Qingfeng Li heard everything and he frowned. He felt something was out of the ordinary.

Normally, the gatekeepers of a city would not ask self cultivators for vitality stones.

The order was not even from the city lord, it was from his son, which was a little strange.

Qingfeng Li did not have any vitality stones on him, but if he did, he wouldn’t mind handing over some stones.

As for Qingqing Mu, she had escaped from her family and did not bring any vitality stones with her, so it would be impossible for her to hand over any, resulting in the stalemate.

Qingfeng Li was standing behind Qingqing Mu and he pursed his eyebrows together. He found out that the four guards were all very strong, reaching the late stage of the earthly spirit realm.

Qingqing Mu was only in the mid stage of the earthly spirit realm, being significantly weaker than the guards. If they were to fight, she would not be able to win.

All the other self cultivators were spectating, none of them willing to come over to thaw the situation, because they did not favor either parties. Qingqing Mu was from the Mu Family, one of the four big families of the Greater Luo City, and the self cultivators had no good feelings towards these big families.

Boom… boom… boom…

Suddenly, footsteps of a horse could be heard coming out from the inside of the city. The footsteps were very rapid.

A black clothed young man rode a giant black stallion from the inside of the city and arrived to the gate within moments.

The young man was at most twenty two years old, and righteousness was seeping through his handsome face. He had thick black eyebrows and was holding a whip. Sitting on a two meter tall horse, a strong aura seeped through his body.

“Young Captain, why are you here?” the tall guards said as they respectfully bowed.

Seeing the young man made Qingqing Mu frown. She loudly said, “Ning Ye, are you the one that ordered the guards to collect vitality stones? Hurry up and let me in.”

The black clothed young man named Ning Ye shook his head and said, “Sorry, Second Miss. It’s the young city lord’s orders, and I am only following the orders. Anyone who tries to enter from the Wild Animal Kingdom must hand over a spirit level vitality stone, and nobody can be excluded.”

Qingqing Mu became angry. She thought that since Ning Ye came, she could skip out on giving up vitality stones. Clearly, this was the young city master’s idea.

Qingqing Mu was very embarrassed, especially after she thought about how she had bragged to Qingfeng Li before. The Mu Family was very famous in the Greater Luo city and everyone respected her. She would never have thought that she would be blocked at the gate.

“Second Miss, if you don’t have a vitality stone, I can lend you one and you can pay me back later,” he said to Qingqing Mu.

“Who said that I don’t have a vitality stone,” Qingqing Mu unhappily said as she pouted and frowned.

But in the next moment, Qingqing Mu’s face became awkward, as she could not find a vitality stone anywhere on her body.

Ning Ye could see Qingqing Mu’s embarrassment and hurry. He took out a spirit level vitality stone and threw it to the guard. He said, “I’ll pay for the second miss, let her in.”

A tall guard nodded and retreated to the side, since they clearly recognize Ning Ye.

He was the Greater Luo City’s Black Armored Guard Team’s captain’s son, the team that was responsible for protecting the city and the lord.

Strictly speaking, the four black armored guards belonged to the black armored team, but now they were under the orders of the young city lord and must collect vitality stones.

“Second Miss, I’ve already given up a vitality stone for you, why aren’t you entering?” Ning Ye asked Qingqing Mu with doubt.

Qingqing Mu shook her head and said, “I have three friends here. You have to let them in.”

After saying that, Qingqing Mu pointed at Qingfeng Li, Li Yang, and Black Puppy.

Upon hearing Qingqing Mu, Ning frowned and looked towards the three.

Ning Ye saw that Qingfeng Li’s aura was only in the true spirit realm. He could not understand why such a weak self cultivator would be so important to Qingqing Mu.

Beside Qingfeng Li was a pretty woman. She was somewhat strong and was in the heavenly spirit realm. Beside the two was a dog who was also in the heavenly spirit realm, as a powerful aura spread from its body.

Ning Ye did not think that they were important, as Ning Ye was also in the heavenly spirit realm and was much stronger than the woman.

“Very sorry, Second Miss. I don’t have many spirit level vitality stone either, I can only give up for you. If they do not have any, they can only stay out here.

Ning Ye lightly smiled but he had no emotions in his eyes. He would only help Qingqing Mu in and not the others.
