Rebirth: City Sovereign

It was noon, and a well-built young gate soldier was yawning continuously. He looked like he was about to fall asleep.    

"Hey, wake up on duty."    

Beside him, a middle-aged veteran with a long beard saw the rookie. He drew his sword and tapped the back of the rookie's helmet as he spoke with a displeased expression.    

"As a soldier who guards the White River City, you have to be extremely alert when guarding the gates!"    

"But, Elder Li, it's noon and the weather is warm. What can I do for you?" The recruit stretched out his hand and rubbed the back of his head in pain as he spoke with a puzzled tone.    

"Could it be that there will be more bandits brazenly invading the city?"    

"It's because you all had this thought that the traitor got his way and secretly snuck into the city." Hearing the recruit say this, the soldier's face turned even uglier and was about to flare up.    

"Don't you know that a vicious foreigner has come to this place recently?"    

Hearing this, the new recruit didn't seem to care and only nodded.    

"The wanted posters are all over my house, how can I not know?"    

"I heard that this foreigner alone killed all the villagers of a whole Sea Blue Village and the Spiritual Beast among dozens of Congli. He's very fierce."    

"Since you know, why aren't you on duty?" If that foreigner sneaked into our White River City, would you be able to bear the consequences? " After the old soldier finished speaking, he raised his hand again and fiercely slapped the young recruit's back with his five fingers, causing him to stumble and almost fall to the ground.    

"Aiyo, Elder Li, how is this possible!?" The recruits were still unconvinced and argued.    

"You know more about this White River City's guardian than I do, it's just a fly, if you want to enter the White River City, you have to go through our inspection, so how can a thief like him enter?"    

"He is not afraid of ten thousand. What he is afraid of is if, by chance, he has the ability to kill a village villager. He definitely has some methods that we do not know about, so we cannot be careless."    

The old soldier solemnly said. Halfway through his words, a white figure suddenly appeared behind the two of them.    

"Who is it!" The soldier's expression changed, and he immediately drew out the sword at his waist, while the recruit took out a signal flare from his sleeve, ready to fire it.    

However, just as the two of them were about to make a move, Ye Kai had already extended his hand out and flicked his finger twice at the two of them, causing them to groan. The two of them felt their vision go black and fell to the ground.    

Following that, Hai Ou pulled a horse carriage from a Congli behind him and appeared at the city gate.    

Inside the carriage, Small Sea Spirit lied down and slept quietly.    

Hai Ou looked at Ye Kai, his eyes filled with shame. He had been hiding in the vicinity the entire time, so he hadn't missed out on the conversation between the two city guards.    

"My lord, I'm sorry, it's all because of me and my sister. My lord not only bore the responsibility for the crime, but was also wanted by the entire city. This …"    

"It's no problem." Ye Kai did not mind at all, as he did not care about these methods at all.    

"Stay a little further away from me in the city, but be sure to follow behind me. Understood?" Ye Kai said as he lifted his hand to pinch a small Magic Formation to encircle his body.    

"Understood, milord." Hai Ou nodded, but realised that in his eyes, Ye Kai's appearance, had become completely different from before.    

What Ye Kai was using was not a high level disguise technique like the one that was used by Soul Casting Sect Elder Yun Hee, but rather a simple technique on the surface of his own body that allowed the surrounding people to recognize him as someone else.    

He wasn't afraid of causing trouble, but right now, Hai Ling was in danger. Obtaining the Immortal Attraction Ganoderma Lucidum first was the most important thing, and if it wasn't necessary, Ye Kai didn't want to cause trouble.    

"Alright, let's go." Without hesitating at all, Ye Kai walked towards the city gate, while Hai Ou did his best to calm his nerves, and followed behind him about ten meters.    

Once inside the city, Hai Ou was attracted by the scene within the White River City.    

As a resident who had lived in this small village for more than ten years, Hai Ou had never come to such a large town like the White River City.    

Although the Sea God Star had caused great damage to the environment during the Immortal Realm War, White River City was still considered to be flourishing as one of the few large cities on this planet.    

At this moment, the place where the two of them were at was clearly a market place. All sorts of shops appeared on both sides of the wide road. Clothes, spirit stones, self-made magic tools, herbs and so on. Most of the people who sold things in the market had done so.    

A little more than ten meters in front of him, many citizens were gathered together. They were discussing as they looked at the things posted on the wooden bulletin board.    

Seeing that, Hai Ou also pulled the carriage and walked in that direction.    

Hanging on the notice board was a white paper and black text wanted poster with Ye Kai's picture drawn on it with a simple brush.    

What was written below, was roughly also a lot of unwarranted crimes, such as massacring Sea Blue Village villagers, killing innocent Spiritual Beast, exterminating a kind sect, etc.    

"Heavens! He slaughtered an entire village! This outsider is really cruel!" An obese middle-aged woman covered her mouth and said with fear written all over her face.    

A few of the citizens beside him also nodded their heads and echoed him.    

"What kind of person is this?! This is simply an evil spirit!" I say, after we capture him, we must first be slow, and then we must be executed! "    

"Crack the car, split the body!" Such a demon, it's not worth dying for! "    

Hearing those citizens say this, Hai Ou felt very aggrieved in his heart.    

He knew that everything Ye Kai had done was just to save them. However, under the guidance of the higher-ups, Ye Kai, who had confronted the dark powers, had easily turned into someone who had committed a heinous crime that deserved to be punished in the public's mouth.    

Thinking about what Ye Kai had done at the Sea Blue Village, Hai Ou felt extremely upset. However, he couldn't explain himself to those people, so he could only silently endure.    

Looking at the white figure of the man walking towards the center of the city, Hai Ou's expression became complicated.    

"I wonder why my lord came to this planet."    

Hai Ou thought, while holding onto the carriage, he followed behind Ye Kai, and suddenly tripped over a protruding mud patch, causing his body to fall forward.    

Ah!" His feet fiercely stomped on the ground, causing Hai Ou to shout out, but he did not immediately fall to the ground, but instead rammed into a green-robed man beside him.    

"Bang, bang!"    

Although Hai Ou was still a minor, his body was extremely strong under the years of training. The green robed man was hit by Hai Ou and cried out miserably. He fell onto the ground and rolled a few times.    

"Sorry, are you alright?" Seeing that, Hai Ou pulled the horse carriage and quickly walked forward, wanting to pull the man up.    

"Snap."    

At this moment, behind him, a dozen or so similarly dressed bodyguards took out long swords and pointed them at his neck.    

Feeling the cold weapon at the neck area, Hai Ou froze for a moment, not daring to move.    

"Young Master Li, are you injured?" A bodyguard walked up and helped the green robed man up.    

The man called Young Master Li had an extremely unsightly expression. He lightly patted the dust on his body, looked up and walked in front of Hai Ou with a face full of anger. One kick on Hai Ou's lower abdomen knocked him down to the ground.    

"Damn it, aren't you looking at the road? Do you know how much this young master's clothes are worth? You can't afford it even if you work for ten years, bumpkin! " Young Master Li cursed. His appearance was extremely ugly.    

When the surrounding people saw this, they also quietly retreated and discussed in hushed tones.    

A young lad stood in the corner of a shop and frowned as he saw Hai Ou fall to the ground.    

"This guy is really unlucky to have met eight lifetimes of trouble. To accidentally run into this Lee Nan, isn't that just a little too pitiful!"    

"Shh!" Be quiet, it's fine if you hear it. Do you want to be like that guy? " On the side, the shop owner was sweating profusely as he reminded him in a low voice.    

"I just can't stand to watch him do whatever he wants. He's always domineering in the bazaar, and when he sees something he likes, no one will be able to treat him. He's really pissed off." The youngster also understood that his voice was a bit loud, so he immediately lowered his voice. However, he still whispered in a voice that only the owner of the store could hear.    

Hearing the young man's words, the shop owner quietly sighed and said helplessly.    

"There's nothing you can do about it, so you don't have to take it to heart."    

"After all, this Lee Nan is the City Lord of White River City, Lee Mu's only biological son!"
