Chapter 151: Hell (II)

Most of the relevant people had also inquired about the Immortals from the Pan Family. As for Xiao Fen’s appearance, these people also knew a little. Plus, not many people usually came out of the Eastern Depot side gate, and they usually wore the attire of Eastern Depot Agents. Suddenly seeing two people dressed so oddly, those people immediately realized that the main subjects had probably appeared.

However, compared to Xiao Fen’s odd outfit, Lycaon, dressed in a standard modern sports outfit, obviously attracted more attention. His god-like burly body, combined with his cold and silent eyes, was enough to make most people who saw him believe at first glance that “this person is very capable.”

If it were a contest for who was more handsome, Xiao Fen would naturally be chosen. However, after the terrifying commotion last night, the people of the Capital City prioritized not who was more dashing, but who looked more reliable, or rather, who was more likely to let them survive when the apocalypse came.

By this standard, Lycaon had a clear advantage over Xiao Fen.

Because of this, when Xiao Fen and his companion finally walked into the crowd, the first person to be surrounded was Lycaon. At first, it was just a few ordinary servants. Soon, some wealthy merchants appeared. They gathered around Lycaon, shouting “Immortal, save me!” They just wanted Lycaon to go to their residences first to see if there were any problems. Of course, if Lycaon stayed there, it wouldn’t be unacceptable. Having someone like that around would give them more confidence if something really happened.

As they moved further away from the Eastern Depot, more and more people crowded around. Eventually, Xiao Fen and Lycaon were trapped in a sea of people, unable to move an inch. Forget about going outside Dongzhi Gate to see what happened, they couldn’t even maintain their balance as they were pulled and dragged by these people.

“This won’t work, Lycaon. Think of something.”

Xiao Fen turned his head and shouted to Lycaon in Russian. He tightly protected his backpack, embarrassed to use force to push away the people in front of him. This caused him to sink deeper and deeper, unable to extricate himself.

Lycaon laughed and responded, “No, you are the one who needs to think of a way. I am only responsible for taking action. Of course, if you really need a suggestion, I suggest you drive them as far away as possible. If this continues, if something really happens, it will only cause greater casualties.”

Xiao Fen frowned slightly. He certainly understood what Lycaon meant. If these people kept surrounding them, any sudden movement would cause a stampede out of panic alone, which could result in heavy casualties.

But Xiao Fen simply couldn’t bring himself to attack these people. Even knowing he was in a Trial World, the feeling of human versus human was something he couldn’t harden his heart against.

“Be careful, Palin, something is wrong here. There are too many people. It will seriously interfere with your perception, giving some guys an opportunity. You must drive them away immediately!”

Lycaon suddenly shouted. With his dull perception, he realized based on experience that something was wrong. Among the people crowding around, some genuinely wanted Xiao Fen and his companion to check their homes, but others were clearly just there for the excitement. Although the real threat couldn’t be seen yet, Lycaon believed that among these people, there were definitely accomplices of the White Lotus Sect.

Xiao Fen had pulled out a cork set by the White Lotus Sect last night. This matter was definitely known not only to the court. With the news spreading, those White Lotus Sect followers would definitely know. And it wasn’t hard to guess that these crazy guys would realize Xiao Fen was going to pull out more corks next. To prevent this from happening and to ensure their crazy plan didn’t fail, the White Lotus Sect members would definitely stop Xiao Fen and his companion’s actions at the first opportunity.

Assassination amidst chaos was their first choice.

Xiao Fen froze for a moment, having no objection to Lycaon’s judgment. But with both his hands and elbows being pulled, it was very difficult to do anything even if he wanted to. He regretted a little for not using his power earlier to disperse these commoners.

Just then, the sound of galloping horses came from behind them. A sharp voice suddenly rang out, “Eastern Depot on official business! Idlers move aside! Those who disobey will die!”

Not long after, more hoofbeats rang out continuously. Xiao Fen didn’t even need to turn his head to feel the commotion among the people around him. Clearly, the fierce reputation of the Eastern Depot held a very strong deterrent force for these people. So much so that even though they were reluctant in their hearts, they eventually had to yield.

However, only a few people left the circle. More people were trapped inside, unable to get out, and some people deliberately blocked the outside, causing the entire circle to be unable to loosen up completely. Someone even whispered, “So what if it’s the Eastern Depot? There are so many people here. Even the Eastern Depot wouldn’t dare to actually start a massacre. Do they really want to force the officials to die in protest?”

Such words spread more and more. The people who had originally retreated slowly gathered back. Once again, the area around Xiao Fen was packed tight.

Helplessly, Xiao Fen turned his head to look in the direction behind him. The Head File Keeper who had brought him to the Eastern Depot was sitting on a tall horse a little further away, looking coldly in this direction.

Just as Xiao Fen waited for the Head File Keeper to come up with a better idea, the Head File Keeper lightly made a slicing motion with his hand.

This motion looked so easy in Xiao Fen’s eyes, yet it was exceptionally heavy—so heavy that Xiao Fen almost couldn’t breathe, nor could he shout the word “No.”

In the next moment, suddenly appearing sprays of blood shot high into the air in front of everyone’s eyes. Those who were struck didn’t even feel the pain; they just stared blankly at the fresh blood. By the time they realized the Eastern Depot had really attacked, their lives had already reached their end.

In the span of a single breath by Xiao Fen, those shining waist swords waved again. The Agents of the Eastern Depot made no shouts; they silently waved the deadly blades in their hands, striking down one after another. Only then did sounds of pain, screaming, and shouting erupt one after another. But by then, it was obviously too late. Ignoring the Eastern Depot’s warning was essentially ignoring one’s own life. As the sword light flashed a second time, more people died unnatural deaths.

The crowd finally loosened up. Everyone was running away, constantly rushing past the stunned Xiao Fen, knocking him left and right. At the same time, the killing continued. Silent Agents, flashing sword lights, and blood constantly flying into the air—this was the only thing Xiao Fen could see in his eyes.

“Watch all of this, Palin. If you had solved the problem here earlier, these people wouldn’t have died.”

Lycaon walked to Xiao Fen’s side and spoke coldly.
