Capítulo 120: 120.
"Manifestation." This was the first word that came to Yang Ze's mind after looking at those illusory eyes. Just like the white armor made from his burning of Qi, these eyes were similarly white in color. The only difference being, compared to the blurry image of the armor, one could see them clearly.
Everyone in the city was confused and afraid. The majority of the people have never seen an Innate powerhouse, much less someone a step further into the Innate realm. To them, these eyes were that of a God who was angry with them.
Many of the people who didn't faint, got on their knees before bowing to those eyes, paying their respect. Yang Ze who was covered in dust thought for a moment, before closing his eyes and falling to the ground.
"I SAID WHO WAS IT!?" The voice once again echoed throughout the city, buzzing in everyone's ears. Many children and old people even started bleeding from their ears.
No response from the city only made him angrier. And just when the situation was at a stalemate, three distinctive auras rose from the different locations of the city.
"Three more Innates!?" Yang Ze who was pretending to be unconscious had a brief idea about the identity of all these four people. The only person in the Innate manifestation was the city lord, appointed by the Xuanwu Academy, while the three others must be the ancestors of the three prominent families of the Mehull CIty.
While everyone was kneeling on the ground, three figures flashed in the air before arriving in the middle of the city where the City lord's manor was located.
Xia Jian, the ancestor of the Xia Clan was the first to arrive.
Looking at the scenery around him, he clenched his teeth in anger. The majority of the houses in the vicinity were destroyed, claiming the lives of many. Everything happened so fast that he couldn't even react. The number of deaths could only be made clear the next day, but Xia Jian was sure it was going to be in three digits.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" With a belly full of anger, Xia Jian almost burst out in anger. If not for his reasoning holding him back, he might have attacked without asking any questions.
"Hmph!" With a loud snort, the illusory eyes above the city disappeared, letting the people that were kneeling on the ground in relief. As the door to the already destroyed house slowly opened, the figure of a middle-aged man made his way outside.
The man looked to be in his forties, with a thin mustache and long black hairs that were tied up in the shape of a bun. On his body were luxurious clothes embedded with gold and precious materials. If not for the pressure emitting from him, people would have taken him as a rich businessman.
"You are here. Good." The man did not reply to Xia Jian but ordered him "Go and find the person who stole from me."
This blatant act of disrespect made Xia Jian clench his fist. He forgot the count of how many times he was disrespected and dismissed like this. This city lord always looked at him and others with disdain. It was as if they were nothing more than ants that he could squish at any moment.
Both of them were in the realm of Innate, the least this city lord could do was to give him proper treatment. But it didn't matter what he thought, to the city lord, all of them were uncultured swine. People... whose sole purpose is to be of use to him.
It was this attitude that forced him to make the decision to betray the Xuanwu Sect. Earlier he was feeling a bit of guilt, but now after seeing the actions of this city lord, that guilt disappeared too.
"Do you think we could find the person who not only stole but also escaped from you? Even if we somehow manage to find the person, what are we supposed to do!?" The more Xia Jian spoke, the angrier he became.
"He is right." At this moment, two more figures slowly descend from the air in front of Xia Jian and the city lord.
"Yuwen Tai..."
"Feng Jianyu..."
Looking at the old man and the old woman, the city lord narrowed his eyes. "Since all three ancestors of the three families are here, you can widen the search area. Deploy more of your members, catch that bastard at any cost."
"No one is going anywhere." Feng Jianyu spoke in a firm tone.
"FENG JIANYU! HAVE YOU GONE MAD!? HOW DARE YOU REFUSE MY ORDER!?" Roaring with anger, the man took a step forward. And as soon as he did that, an earth-shattering pressure erupted from him, almost making the three ancestors kneel on the spot.
"I SAID... NO ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE." Feng Jinayu barely supported herself as she glanced at the city lord in defiance.
"Interesting... Very Interesting." The city lord didn't immediately lash out but retracted his aura and looked at the three of them with a grave expression. And with that look, he slowly began to notice the difference in them.
Unlike the past where the three of them held a respectful expression, they were now looking at him with hate and anger. This sudden change took him by surprise.
Collecting himself, the city lord took a deep breath and closed his eyes. There were too many things that happened in this short span that didn't make any sense. Someone pulling his technique from the inside of his storage bag, along with this sudden defiance was enough to raise his brows.
Though his anger may look unreasonable, he did it on purpose. It might seem simple, but opening his storage bag forcefully and taking out the book from it wasn't something that any cat or dog could do, not to mention doing all this from somewhere else.
Unless his brain was kicked by a donkey, he wasn't willing to offend such existence.
"Fine then... Go back. I can search for that person myself." Waving his hand, the city lord shooed the three of them before jumping in the air and disappearing.
The three ancestors all looked around them with a face full of anger. After glancing at each other, they nodded before leaving the scene.
Unknown to them, the figure of the city lord appeared at the same place where he disappeared. Unlike before, there wasn't a trace of anger or arrogance on his face. With narrow eyes, he looked in the distance before taking out a small paper rune and shattering it.
"Looks like the intelligence is true. These bastards have really made up their mind."
How could an existence like Xuanwu Academy be unaware of things happening in their own territory!? Since the day Leihui Sect entered their area of jurisdiction, they were aware of them. But at that moment, they didn't take any action. No one knows why, but they were just following the orders of the Sect Leader. All they need to do is keep an eye on the area and report back any strange events going on.
The city lord was doubtful for a few months, but only now did he get the chance to verify it. Though getting robbed was somewhat unexpected, it gave him a chance to make a move. It helped him fully verify his doubts and guesses. Not only did the three families know Leihui Sect, but they were perhaps also thinking about joining them.
"Sect leader... What are you thinking!?" This was the calm before the storm. The tree families and those from the Leihui sect were still showing restraint. But if they decided to end things, then the City Lord didn't know how long could he last. "Hopefull, everything works out perfectly."
With a heavy heart, the city lord looked at the city below him that was in ruins.
"Please... Please don't be someone from the Leihui Sect."
The mysterious person who stole from him a moment ago still made his heart heavy. At this moment he could only pray that the person was not someone from the Leihui sect. Because of it were, then perhaps, he would be a gone case before someone from the Xuanwu Sect even arrive here.
"But if it were... Then I wouldn't be alive." Consoling himself, the city lord walked back to his villa. The place where his villa was, was now covered in debris. With a wave of his hand, the entire debris flew in the air before dropping in a pile out in the garden.
The city lord waved his hand again, and the moment he did that, a new small hut appeared in front of him. Just like the eyes that formed in the sky, this house too was illusory that seemed to fall apart at any moment. With a sigh, he took a step forward as he entered the house.

"Xu Tao."
"Mistress."
In a dimly lit room, a thin old man was kneeling in front of Xia Xueqi.
"Do you understand everything that I told you!?"
"This slave understands mistress. You can rest assured that even if I have to die, I would die after finishing the task you gave me."
"Good." Taking a step forward, Xia Xueqi looked out of the window with a worried expression.
"I hope you could forgive me for what I am about to do."
"I....." With eyes that were filled with confusion and uncertainty, Xia Xueqi muttered to herself.
"I... I have to protect you... I can not let the same thing happen to you..."
"Yes... Everything is for your own good."
"Yes... I am right... I will make it right this time."
"Hehe... Wait... wait for me... I will protect you...
Yang Ze..."
