Chapter 15 : Any last words?

30 minutes ago....

Snow Wind family - City Lord mansion.

Ye Zong is sitting on his throne while hearing the report from Ye Xiu.

Ye Zong just came out from a week of seclusion so he need to fill himself up with information about things that happened in Glory City. Being a City Lord isn't easy as he need to deal with a lot of things personally. Ye Zong has only gone for a week but the papers he has to deal with had already piled up like a small hills!

After awhile..

" I understand. " said Ye Zong after Ye Xiu finished reading him the reports. " How about that event from two weeks ago? Is there any new updates about that kid Nie Li? "

Ye Xiu shakes his head in response. " Nothing yet, City Lord. This kid is very mysterious, I sent someone to follow him two weeks ago but we can't find him at all. He suddenly disappeared just like that. "

" Disappeared? " Ye Zong frowned. " How can a kid be capable of hiding from us just like that? Didn't we have enough people everywhere? Are the other major families helping him? Or perhaps.. did the Sacred Family had already... "

" I also had put that in consideration, City Lord but our men said that it wasn't the case. I am not sure if it is because their Patriarch still hasn's came out of seclusion yet but the Sacred Family did not made any move yet against Nie li. Perhaps they are also afraid of offending that unknow force that was protecting the child? " Ye Xiu explained. " As for the Divine Family, the Chen has no reason to get involved with this so it's very unlikely for them to be involve.

" That make sense but if that's the case, then how did that Nie Li disappeared then? Does he really have a powerful expert helping him? " Ye Zong fell silence and began to contemplate for a few moments. After awhile, " Is there really not a single person who had witnessed what happened two weeks ago? "

" There's a lot of people who witnessed that event but none of them is able to explain anything. " Ye Xiu sighed. " All of the students that we asked was saying the same thing. It's that.. Shen Yue flew back on his own and hit the wall. No one hit him or anything. "

" We both know that was impossible. " Ye Zong said surely. " It is definitely because those students' cultivations are too low so they failed to see it. Sending a not even Bronze Rank child flying without touching him, even you and I can do the same right? "

" That's right. It's a very simple thing to do considering our cultivation level. Even a 1 Star Black Gold Demon Spiritualist can do the same. " Ye Xiu agreed. " But if that's the case, then.... it also means that the one protecting Nie Li was at the very least, a Black Gold Rank Demon Spiritualist... "

" En. So we have to take this thing seriously. If there really is a hidden powerful expert hidden in Glory City then we have to know whether they are enemies or not. " This event is giving Ye Zong a headache. Glory City is always under the threat Demon Beast raids. One wrong move and they will be wiped out! That's why they can not afford to have any internal conflicts because that will only weaken them.

*Knock*

*Knock*

A knocking sound suddenly came from the door followed by a voice. " Elder Xiu, xiao Yang has something to report. "

Ye Xiu looked at Ye Zong and saw him nodded so he said, " You may enter. "

" Hay! " the man answered.

The door opened and a man with his face covered with cloth entered the room. He bowed to both Ye Zong and Ye Xiu before started telling them his purpose of coming here. " City Lord, Elder Xiu, the kid you told us to investigate had appeared. "

" He appeared? Where? Tell us everything. " said Ye Xiu.

The man didn't waste any second and began explaining everything he knows.

" You mean, the same thing happened again? That kid Nie li sent someone flying without doing anything again?! " Ye Xiu said in shocked. " Who did he hurt this time? "

" Yes, Elder Xiu! " the man replied. " It's.. it's the younger brother of Alchemist Master Zhu Meng, Zhu Fu. I heard that Zhu Fu had been very badly injured and Alchemist Master Zhu Meng personally went to capture Nie li himself. "

" What!? " Ye Xiu exclaimed while Ye Zong on the other hand frowned. This is definitely not a good news.

" Ye Xiu, you send someone to deal... No, you go personally this time and take care of it. If it can be solve peacefully, then do it. " Ye Zong said immediately. " If Nie li really do have someone protecting him then, you know what to do. "

" Understood. I'll go now. " replied Ye Xiu before turning to the man, " Lead me to that place where Nie li is now. "

------

In a dark empty alley two blocks away from the Li restaurant.

Zhu Meng was now kneeling on the ground, his face was full of shock and fear as he looked at the young man in front of him.

Zhu Meng was so scared right now. How can he not? The four guards that he brought with are all Gold Rank Demon Spiritualist but they are now lying on the ground unconscious with blood flowing on their mouths! Zhu Meng didn't even know if they are alive or not.

Everything happened so fast and Zhu Meng didn't even know how did it happened. Just a few minutes ago, they saw Nie Li came out of the restaurant and without hesitation, they followed him here.

Zhu Meng was confident he will succeed. After all, he himself was a genuine 3 Star Gold Rank Demon Spiritualist. Along with 4 more Gold Rank Experts protecting him, what could possibly go wrong?

But things didn't go according to what he expected.

Without knowing why, his body guards started falling one after another and in the next second, Zhu Meng felt his legs softened! His strength also started leaving his body...

Zhu Meng regretted coming here. Regretting why he came here without investigating first and also, cursing that useless little brother of his for offending a person like Nie Li!

But Zhu Meng don't want to give up. He didn't believe that Nie Li will be bold enough to do anything to an Alchemist Master like him. " You... you... do you know who I am? How.. how dare you do this to me!? You.. you even killed people, my Alchemist Association and the City Lord will not let you go! "

" Huh? Are you a retarded old man? It's you was trying attacked me first, I only defended myself you hear that? " Nie li replied incredulously. " As for your people, don't worry because they are still alive. Worry about yourself more because I will soon send you to your creator. "

Saying that, Nie Li took out a small knife from his pocket. It's a very simple looking knife that anyone can buy in the market. Nie Li placed the knife against Zhu Meng's throat and said, " Do you have any last words? "
