Chapter 212 Slap in the face
The captain was already hot-tempered, and this provocation made him even angrier; the magical power in his hands even began to condense.
"You monster inside, I'll say it again: come out now and undergo departmental inspection, and you might still have a chance to live. But if we really have to break down the door, I can't guarantee what your fate will be."
His tone was filled with murderous intent, which truly angered Gu Yuchuan. He wondered what that little demon had stolen that would warrant such a pursuit.
After the captain finished speaking, he found that there was no movement inside. He could no longer contain his temper and shot out a flame. At this moment, the door opened and Gu Yuchuan walked out in front of everyone's eyes. He still did not show his Golden Core stage cultivation.
However, his ability to extinguish the flames with ease also showed them that he was not weak, and the captain did not dare to be so aggressive.
Gu Yuchuan looked at the manager and said, "Is this how you treat your guests at Zuixianju? It's late at night, a time for rest. And you've caused so much trouble. If you can't keep this up, you might as well just go out of business."
The shopkeeper's face was a little pale, but they really were in the wrong. He could only take a deep breath and say, "Fellow Daoist, please don't be angry. The City Lord's Mansion was chasing a thief today, which is why we disturbed you. We will send you some compensation later and waive today's fees. Please calm down."
Gu Yuchuan then turned his gaze to the captain: "What a joke? Your city lord's mansion lost something, and instead of chasing after it, you come to me? Do you think I stole it? You're not embezzling from your own quarters, are you trying to frame me?"
Originally, Gu Yuchuan really didn't intend to cause trouble at Longhu Mountain. After all, he came to participate in the investiture of the young sect leader of the Holy Son. However, these people were indeed going too far, so he subconsciously set up this scheme.
If the other party really tries to kill him, he can kill them back in return, and no one can say anything. The dignity of a Golden Core stage expert cannot be trampled on at will.
Gu Yuchuan's disdain for the City Lord's Mansion thoroughly enraged them. In the eyes of this captain, you are just a little monster. We ask you questions, and you just answer. Not only do you not cooperate, but you also dare to speak arrogantly. Therefore, the possibility that he has a problem has become very high.
He didn't say anything more, but simply drew his sword and charged forward. He was very confident in his strength; he had earned his rank of captain bit by bit with his long sword, and he wasn't afraid of trouble.
But the next second, his smile vanished. A tremendous pressure suddenly emanated from Gu Yuchuan, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest before losing consciousness. Everyone present was stunned, and even the soldiers below dared not attempt to collect his body.
Gu Yuchuan looked at them coldly: "The dignity of a Golden Core stage expert cannot be trampled on like this. Now that my door is open, you should have seen that there is nothing inside. If you come looking for trouble again, then he will be your example."
Just as Gu Yuchuan finished speaking, the city lord arrived late. Upon seeing the dead captain, his body staggered for a moment. This was his trusted subordinate, and he had died here just like that. His face turned extremely ugly, but he recognized Gu Yuchuan.
"So it's the Azure Scale Demon King. But, Demon King, you've done such a thing, killing my people. You have to give me an explanation."
Gu Yuchuan didn't even glance at the city lord. It's safe to say they were incredibly stupid. From chasing that little demon to dealing with the others who bothered him later, their decisions were terrible. It just goes to show their incompetence.
He gave the shopkeeper a look, and the shopkeeper knew what to say: "Lord City Lord, it was the captain who attacked the Demon King first with his own weapon. The Demon King was just retaliating passively. So many people saw it."
Even though he didn't want to get involved, Gu Yuchuan had already signaled to him with his eyes, so he had no choice but to get involved. The city lord didn't need to look at the soldiers below to know that what the other party said was true, but he didn't want his men to die in vain, so he glared fiercely at Gu Yuchuan.
"I see. Then it's no wonder he died. But I heard they brought people here because they suspect the Demon King is hiding a prisoner? I wonder what the Demon King himself thinks?"
Gu Yuchuan hadn't expected that the city lord was still thinking about this matter. Was he out of his mind? Wouldn't the best outcome be to distance himself from the city lord? Sacrificing a Foundation Establishment cultivator but avoiding a direct confrontation between two Golden Core cultivators was the choice any normal person would make. The fact that the other party chose to continue the attack was something Gu Yuchuan hadn't anticipated.
His attitude worsened further: "What if I said I refuse you permission to enter my room?"
In fact, Gu Yuchuan was not afraid of being investigated, because this matter had nothing to do with him. If the other party's attitude was very good, he would be willing to cooperate and even share the clues he had discovered. However, their condescending attitude was not an attitude of wanting to solve the problem properly, which is why this situation has arisen.
Neither the city lord nor Gu Yuchuan was willing to back down. Now, the city lord was certain that Gu Yuchuan was the thief. Indeed, only someone with such cultivation could steal from the city lord's mansion and escape unscathed.
The city lord's voice carried a hint of determination: "This is my Dragon Tiger City, not your demon race. If you are truly stubborn, I don't mind teaching you a lesson."
This city lord was merely a cultivator at the second level of the Golden Core stage, the same level as Gu Yuchuan himself. It was unclear where he got his confidence from. Gu Yuchuan's tone also turned colder: "Fine, since you want to make a move, then come on, let me show you my skills."
Two powerful cultivators at the Golden Core stage started fighting right there in the bustling city. However, they both remained relatively restrained, knowing that there were still many mortals and low-level cultivators living in the city, and that if they fought with all their might, it would cause irreparable damage.
However, this inevitably had a great impact on Zuixianju, and many cultivators ran away under the guidance of the servants.
Once he was certain that many people were watching the battle, Gu Yuchuan went all out. He secretly used the Myriad Dragons Diagram to amplify his magic power, and the Golden Light Spell transformed into a pagoda, which directly pressed down on the city lord's head.
The city lord kept shouting and resisting, but he couldn't break free no matter what he did.
The city lord now looked extremely disheveled. He was forced to kneel down, and this was in front of his people. He had already thought about how others would see him in the future. He might be ridiculed for the rest of his life because of this. He was unwilling to accept it, but he really couldn't break free from this restraint.
