Chapter 4284
The Xiao Huang Dynasty played a crucial role in reclaiming the mansion, which brought immense joy to Bai Qian. However, the Xiao Huang Dynasty now aimed to incorporate Fox Royal City into its territory, and Bai Qian was resolute in her opposition!
“Are you the empress of this Fox Emperor City?”
Captain Zhang scrutinized Bai Shao once more before stating, “So, you claim to be the empress here? Even if you are, you still have to adhere to our directives.”
“I suspect your group is looking to stir up trouble, so you’re not permitted to enter the city. Leave immediately, and you can return only when you have the proper credentials!”
“On what basis? This is my territory!” Bai Shao exclaimed, clearly agitated!
“Simply because everyone in Fox Emperor City is now under the authority of my Xiao Imperial Dynasty,” Captain Zhang replied with a smirk, licking his lips. “You can enter if you please, but only if the two of you are willing to entertain me. In that case, I might even let you claim the title of empress here!”
“You ……”
Bai Qian’s anger flared up instantly, but she held back from acting out, knowing that Captain Zhang was a representative of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty!
“I didn’t know there were such scoundrels among the soldiers of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty!” Kai remarked coldly as he stepped forward.
“Who are you referring to? It seems like you’re the ones trying to cause trouble in Fox Emperor City!”
“Our General is looking to apprehend some troublemakers, and you fit the description!”
“Arrest them!” Captain Zhang commanded, and instantly, a dozen soldiers surrounded Kai and his companions!
Kai cast a nonchalant glance at them, his expression unyielding!
“Do you really believe that how you capture us will be the same as how you’ll release us?” he said calmly.
“I scoff at that! I won’t release you; what can you do about it?”
“Let me remind you, regardless of your identity or background, you won’t intimidate me.”
“Our Xiao Dynasty isn’t afraid of such things, and I, Zhang Longhu, am even less so…”
Zhang Longhu’s arrogance was palpable; as a captain in the Xiao Imperial Dynasty, he expected to command respect wherever he went!
The Xiao Imperial Dynasty was a powerful ally!
While he sensed that Kai and his friends might possess some influence, in Zhang Longhu’s eyes, it was insignificant!
“Whether you’re afraid or not, you’ll find out soon enough!”
Kai chuckled and extended his hands for the soldiers to bind him!
Seeing this, Ji Yun and the others chose not to resist and allowed themselves to be captured!
Thus, the four of them were taken towards the grand hall of Fox Emperor City!
This hall, once Bai Shallow’s palace, now felt like a prison as they were led inside!
In the grand hall, a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and squinting eyes was lounging on a chair, only opening his eyes when he heard the commotion!
“General, I’ve captured four individuals who attempted to cause trouble,” Zhang Longhu reported to General Qian!
General Qian frowned slightly after assessing the situation. “Zhang Longhu, you’re becoming less capable by the day. I wanted to seize the chance to earn some war credits, so I instructed you to catch troublemakers. How could you bring me such weaklings?”
“They’re merely small cultivators of the Transition Realm, none even above the seventh rank. Does this count as war merit?”
“Why not capture some Harmonisation Realm cultivators instead, so I can actually gain credit?”
“You’re useless! I told you to apprehend powerful individuals, especially those from the Demon Sealing Alliance. Emperor Xiao has ordered that if we encounter any troublemakers from the Demon Sealing Alliance, we must deal with them decisively!”
“Jiang family, I believe these four are from the Demon Sealing Alliance…”
Zhang Longhu hinted toward General Qian!
Understanding the implication, General Qian straightened up and said, “You four from the Demon Sealing Alliance, what brings you to Demon Emperor City? Are you intent on seeking revenge on the Feng family?”
