Chapter 264: Chapter 265: Cleaning House

“Enjoy your last three months,”

“because you can never imagine what you will be facing!”

Leader Su Tai of the one hundred thousand army said coldly. After uttering these words, he raised a hand, signaling the Brown Gun Army that had occupied Yang Beicheng to withdraw from Runyu City.

Upon the command, the fifty thousand soldiers of the Brown Gun Army began to leave Yang Beicheng in succession. The general leading them, with hair disheveled and eyes wild like a beast’s, glared fiercely at Zhu Minglang as he passed through the gates of Runyu City.

“You may go, but he must stay,” Zhu Minglang suddenly pointed at Xu Tong of the Dragon Horse Camp with the Mysterious Iron Bow and said.

Xu Tong laughed loudly, mounted on a stout dragon horse, confident and fearless within the ranks of fifty thousand soldiers, not intimidated by Zhu Minglang in the slightest.

But suddenly, a piercing sword light shot out from the intense sunlight, crossing the distance at an incredibly fast speed, and precisely aimed to chop off the head of Xu Tong from the Dragon Horse Camp.

With a face full of flesh still bearing a smile, Xu Tong was instantly frozen in shock the next second, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked towards the city gates, at Zhu Minglang standing atop! freёweɓnovel.com

Chao Ruijin, the wild-haired general, was so frightened that he raised his long spear, and only after confirming that the Flying Sword had disappeared did he furiously point at Zhu Minglang and roar, “You’re courting death, daring to commit murder within my troops!”

“Think carefully about how you speak to me, as your feet are still on my territory,” Zhu Minglang said to Chao Ruijin, the general of the Brown Gun Army.

Chao Ruijin glanced at the Copper Knife Army standing atop the city walls, then looked at The Dragon-Raising Team of Hu Family guarding the city gate. If the gate were to be shut at this moment, even the hundred thousand-strong army might not dare risk their lives to come to the rescue, for the Orderers from the Godly Mortal Academy were like gods. To them, armies were mere ants.

The general of the Brown Gun Army, Chao Ruijin, dared not utter another word and could only lead the fifty thousand soldiers away from Runyu City.

Atop the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon, Su Tai wished he could immediately issue an order to reduce the entire Runyu City to ashes.

As a member of the Hunter of the Nation, there were few powers within the tea-colored ground that dared to expel them like this. The small Runyu City was truly acting recklessly!

Three months!

In three months, this place will be turned to dust and smoke!!

“Let’s go!” Su Tai finally issued the order to retreat.

As the army turned around and left the land, all the inhabitants of Runyu City were left in turmoil and uncertainty.

Defeating Runyu City with a hundred thousand army was not a difficult task.

The Copper Knife Army and Hu Family Army’s force might be too small to withstand them.

If the enemy were to press on aggressively, plunging in directly to kill, it was feared that few people could survive the ensuing slaughter.

Of course, the new City Lord’s domineering attitude was also witnessed by many. Runyu City had not had a true ruler for many years, but from today, it seemed to be different!

Especially for those hunters who had made the first deal with Zhu Minglang, they suddenly felt that the words the new City Lord had said that day when selling meat might indeed come true.

The Di Clan truly lived up to their reputation as a merchant family. They sensed the way the wind was blowing and quickly expressed their willingness to pay the expensive leasehold fees to continue staying in Runyu City. At the same time, they agreed to disarm their military force, retaining only a few strong individuals to ensure the protection of their gemstone business.

The Di Clan were cunning as old foxes; driving them out completely wouldn’t be accomplished in a day or two. Conveniently, the operations of Runyu City required a substantial amount of capital, so it was possible to acquire a portion of funds from the Di Clan to start with.

Of course, as the owner of Runyu City, the control of their gemstone business would eventually be taken over again.

After all, they were merchants. Where was it written that they got to take the lion’s share and then offer a slice of the profit to the landlord?

“Master Zhu, the leader of the Azure Wolf Cavalry, Yu Gaojie, wishes to speak with you,” Hu Chongming said.

“Seeing us drive out the Brown Gun Army, they now want to talk. Before, they acted like they wanted to obliterate us. The ways of local snakes never change,” Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but laugh.

The Azure Wolf Cavalry was an extremely powerful force as well.

If they hadn’t been tainted with banditry and robbery, which Zhu Minglang found intolerable, he might have considered keeping them. After all, this military force was brave and good at fighting, well-suited for sweeping up the unstable elements in the vicinity.

Yu Gaojie approached.

The fact that he came alone was somewhat surprising.

He wasn’t very old, probably around thirty, and as the leader of the Dark Army, he didn’t look as fearsome as one might expect. Instead, he was tall and handsome, with an aura of exceptional talent.

“Previously, I was unaware that Runyu City had welcomed a new City Lord. I am ashamed. Today, I have come especially to apologize and, of course, to offer some modest gifts,” said Yu Gaojie politely.

“I thought you were coming to seek vengeance, seeing that we touched your interests,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile.

“Master Zhu jests. The recent bandit purge has truly warmed people’s hearts. I myself am impressed by Master Zhu’s courage. There are rumors out there that we, the Azure Wolf Cavalry, have been providing protection for bandits and robbers. While I can’t say they are completely false, as the leader of the Azure Wolf Cavalry, I swear on all I have that since founding the Azure Wolf Cavalry, I have never sought these dirty gains!” Yu Gaojie stated.

“So, we have misunderstood your Azure Wolf Cavalry?” asked Zhu Minglang.

“Not exactly a misunderstanding. I can be frank about it. There truly is a small faction within my Azure Wolf Cavalry that has been using our name to facilitate the bandits and extort ill-gotten wealth. I have seen that such things cannot exist in Master Zhu’s eyes, so before coming here, I have already ordered the elimination of all the factions involved in these dealings. Rotten flesh must be cut away. What do you think, Master Zhu?” Yu Gaojie said.

“Leader Yu cleaning his own house is most commendable, but Runyu City cannot allow your forces to remain stationed here. Leader Yu should start making new plans sooner rather than later,” Zhu Minglang said.

“In my youth, I made some mistakes. Although I’m willing to turn over a new leaf, there’s no one left who will believe in me. Later, when I established the Azure Wolf Cavalry, many of its members were those with nowhere to turn, branded with various sins… These brothers come from four different states, but I’m afraid no state will have them,” said Yu Gaojie with a change in his tone.

“Apart from Runyu City, there are not many places left where you can settle, right?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“That’s right. We, the Azure Wolf Cavalry, will not settle in any state. The only option left is Runyu City. I know Master Zhu is upright and cannot tolerate any speck of dirt. The Azure Wolf Cavalry can help eradicate the bandits and robbers that infest the entire Tea-colored Ground, even if it means we have to slay evil dragons, we won’t so much as frown. We only hope that the Azure Wolf Cavalry can coexist with Runyu City,” Yu Gaojie pleaded with clasped fists, revealing the purpose of his visit.

“It will depend on Leader Yu’s actions henceforth, whether you genuinely rid people of harm and reform or if this is merely a ruse to buy time… My opinion of the Azure Wolf Cavalry is not important. What matters is how the residents of Runyu City view you,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Very well, I, Yu Gaojie, will prove it!” Yu Gaojie declared.
