With the sound of a thunderous noise, a strong figure rushed towards Ye Haochuan like a speeding car.

"Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage?" Ye Haochuan quickly assessed the cultivation of that strong figure, not afraid in the slightest, secretly activating the Long Family Technique, and punched forward.

The hulking man saw Ye Haochuan’s punch, sneered disdainfully, and also threw a punch while charging forward.

"Humph, daring to exchange punches with Commander Zhang is simply courting death!" The guard commander saw Ye Haochuan’s punch and immediately sneered.

It’s true that Ye Haochuan is stronger than him, but Commander Zhang is no ordinary person; not only has he reached the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage, but his strength is also exceptionally strong.

He seemed to already envision Ye Haochuan having his arm broken and wailing in pain on the ground.

This secretly delighted him, as Ye Haochuan had just embarrassed him; if Commander Zhang seriously injured Ye Haochuan, it would be considered avenging him.

Boom~

Ye Haochuan’s fist clashed with Commander Zhang’s fist.

But contrary to the guard commander’s expectations, not only was Ye Haochuan unharmed, but he hadn’t even taken a step back, appearing completely at ease.

Instead, it was the strong Commander Zhang who, under this punch, staggered back several steps before barely steadying himself.

"How... how is it possible?" The guard commander felt his brain was struggling to process this.

This guy in front of him, is he really only an Immortal Transformation Early-Stage cultivator? How come even a Mid-Stage expert can’t gain any advantage over him?

"Who exactly are you?" At this moment, Commander Zhang’s face was extremely livid as he coldly questioned.

With the earlier exchange, he had come to recognize Ye Haochuan’s strength. Though his pride had taken a hit, he suppressed his anger, not daring to act rashly.

Ye Haochuan, disinterested in bantering with Commander Zhang, directly tossed him the Half-Mountain Residence token.

Commander Zhang, seeing Ye Haochuan throw something over, was initially confused, but upon seeing the contents of the token, he was immediately scared pale.

"You... you are from Half-Mountain Residence?" Commander Zhang said tremblingly.

The prestige of Half-Mountain Residence, in the minds of ordinary people, is on par with the Temple.

Though the Prefectural Governor is the lord of a county, he still has to be courteous to someone from Half-Mountain Residence. Moreover, Commander Zhang is just a minor commander at the Prefect Mansion.

Ye Haochuan nodded slightly, which was considered an acknowledgment.

Strictly speaking, this token of his is not that of an official disciple of Half-Mountain Residence, but truthfully, his status in Half-Mountain Residence is by no means lower than that of an official disciple. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Ha... Half-Mountain Residence?"

The guard commander almost fainted at this moment, fell to his knees, and continuously pleaded, "Sir, I’m a fool who failed to recognize the mighty lord; please forgive my ignorance and spare my humble life!"

He really hadn’t expected that he had actually offended such an existence, this was practically seeking death!

Compared to a disciple of Half-Mountain Residence, what is he, a mere guard, worth?

If the Prefectural Governor found out about this, even if Ye Haochuan said nothing, the Prefectural Governor would definitely not let him off to avoid offending Ye Haochuan.

Perhaps if the Prefectural Governor was in a bad mood, he might even execute him as an apology.

Ye Haochuan cast a cold glance at the guard commander, not giving any response.

This action nearly scared the guard commander to the point of wetting himself, fearing that Ye Haochuan might suddenly lash out and strike him down.

"I’m here to see your Prefectural Governor!" Ye Haochuan reiterated his purpose for coming.

"The Prefectural Governor went to the Li Residence; sir, please wait a moment, I’ll go notify him right away!" Commander Zhang replied respectfully.

"Li Residence?" Ye Haochuan was suddenly surprised, then asked, "How many noble clans in Anxi County have the surname Li?"

"Reporting to you, sir, there’s only this one. This Li Family is quite prominent in Anxi County due to their good relations with Lord Prefect. May I ask, sir, you..."

"Oh? That’s perfect, I’m also looking for this Young Master Li, let’s go together!" Ye Haochuan said expressionlessly.

"This..." Commander Zhang hesitated hesitantly.

He could clearly see that Ye Haochuan wasn’t here with good intentions. If he went to inform the Prefectural Governor first, he could let the Prefect be on guard. If he let Ye Haochuan go directly, and something happened, the County Marquis would definitely blame him.

"What? You can’t?" Ye Haochuan asked coldly.

Commander Zhang broke into a cold sweat and quickly said, "No, not at all, sir, please follow me!"

Ye Haochuan answered lightly and then followed Commander Zhang out of the city.

The guard commander, seeing that Ye Haochuan didn’t say he would forgive him, was extremely anxious. When Ye Haochuan left, he hurriedly followed him as well.

Being a noble clan in Anxi County, the Li Family surely had a residence in Skywolf City. However, at this time, the County Marquis did not go to the Li Family’s residence in Skywolf City, but to a residence located in the western suburb.

Because the journey was long, the guard commander even flatteringly found a carriage for Ye Haochuan to ride.

"Do you know about the incident where the County Marquis Mansion took away a giant man from Baixi Restaurant in South City?" During the journey, Ye Haochuan suddenly asked.

"I know, I know!" Before Commander Zhang could reply, the guard commander said happily.

Throughout the journey, Ye Haochuan hadn’t given any special orders. The guard commander was worried he didn’t have a chance to curry favor with Ye Haochuan. Now that Ye Haochuan had asked a question, how could he not seize the opportunity?

"Tell me what happened!" Ye Haochuan spoke without any unnecessary words.

The guard commander happily answered, "That giant man apparently owed Young Master Li a lot of red crystals. Young Master Li went to Lord Prefect and said that the giant man did not keep his promise, so the Prefect sent people to capture him!"

"Where is that giant man now?"

"I heard he was locked up by Young Master Li. That guy is also foolish; after being captured, he still doesn’t know how to behave. The more he resists, the worse it gets for him. I heard that Young Master Li even assigned two people specifically to deal with him..."

The guard commander, eager to please, failed to notice Ye Haochuan’s increasingly livid expression.

This idiot, how dare he say anything?

Commander Zhang shot the guard commander a glare but couldn’t say anything, only cursing in his heart.

He could understand the guard commander’s desire to please Ye Haochuan, but he couldn’t throw Young Master Li under the bus just for that.

Ye Haochuan was obviously here for the giant man, and the more he suffered, the angrier Ye Haochuan would be.

If Ye Haochuan decided to turn the Li Residence upside down, it would be troubling.

Additionally, Young Master Li was notoriously vengeful. If he found out about this, he might implicate Commander Zhang and the guard commander.

Unconsciously, the three of them had already traveled dozens of miles by carriage, and a magnificent mansion soon appeared in front of them.

"Isn’t this Commander Zhang? How come you have time to visit the Li Residence today?" The guard at the entrance was clearly familiar with Commander Zhang and greeted him warmly.

Commander Zhang’s face was grim as he forced a smile and said, "Please report to Lord County Marquis, and let him know a distinguished guest has arrived!"

"No need to report, just go in directly!" Ye Haochuan’s icy voice suddenly rang out.
