Li Jiwen advanced through the smoke as he heard the screams and the loud noises of clattering armor moving closer.

In his own sight, twenty guards all in the Foundation Establishment realm cluttered the place.

These were the city lord’s special forces.

They came here as they felt such great power erupting from this place.

He shrugged and said, "Hmm."

As he said so, almost instinctively he made a sword out of qi, but it was not stable.

Finally he moved through the smoke.

The guards watched the smoke part ways.

An existence that looked like a literal corpse appeared in front of them, crossing the remaining ruins of the holding cell and coming out.

Some of them shouted. Others felt fear never felt before.

The leader, who was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, came closer.

As he moved his sword in front of him, he said, "Introduce yourself! What do you want of the city lord and what do you intend to do now? You are considered an enemy of the state!"

As he appeared in front of them, all of them felt weirded.

They asked themselves, wasn’t this the scribe that was caught a couple of days ago? How is he now destroying the cell?

They all remembered that he had already lost his cultivation, but weirdly enough they felt some power from him that they never felt before, even from the city lord.

Li Jiwen erupted totally out of the smoke.

A smile was wide on his face.

"Let me show you true powers."

Then he let out the entirety of the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator as the aura crushed them to the ground.

The leader, who was trying to fight the pressure and get to his legs again, said, "Impossible! How do you have such power? You were just a broken cripple a couple of days ago."

Li Jiwen said, "Well, that is indeed the most important thing. To each their own..."

He then said, "Well, I’ll leave you be. I don’t want to kill anyone."

Then he said, "Go to your master and tell him that I don’t have any animosity with him. Then I will just go out of this place. And if he dares to come my way, then..."

Finally the aura receded, and they could get back to their legs again.

As they watched Li Jiwen go and begin to levitate off the ground and fly away, the bunch of them spoke.

The leader said to the rest in a low voice, "We need to tell the city lord now. Looks like there is a new threat to the city and to the empire itself."

"We need to catch him and see how exactly he received this power. Most importantly, remember that the young master is now in the Dragon Gate sect, and he needs any powers at the moment to get stronger. So this is a great chance to see exactly how this man advanced."

As they saw Li Jiwen disappear into the air, they did not know exactly why they didn’t fear him enough.

They started scheming on how to get his power to the young master and the city lord.

Li Jiwen was their only hope so the city advances into a third grade city from its current power of a fourth grade city.

Li Jiwen, as he flew through the air, heard them.

His face turned ugly.

He muttered, "I spared your life, and now you plan to take my power? Humans are interested in every world indeed..."

Then he took a U turn in the air and began to fly back to their place.

As they saw him coming closer, some of them activated their own powers. Others activated some talismans.

All of them began to call the city lord’s palace for reinforcement.

As Li Jiwen appeared in front of them again, this time his own power and his own aura were so powerful that he pushed them to the ground and almost crushed them to death.

He declared, "I spared your life, and now you try to scheme behind my back. Let it be known then..."

Then he made his power and pressure so vast and grand that he crushed the twenty people to death.

But strangely enough, he didn’t feel anything.

He said in his mind, ’I’ve killed before, it’s not different in this world...’

Suddenly, as he was talking to himself and thinking of that, a power so great that it almost rivaled him appeared out of the air near him.

He saw a little black dot appearing and coming closer to him now.

Bigger and bigger.

He recognized it as the city lord.

He said, "Hmmm."

Before he could actually escape or plan his way to fight the city lord, the city lord had already appeared in front of him.

His aura was vast and ancient, like he had already fought hundreds or thousands of people before having his own position at the moment.

He said loudly, his voice growing powerful and filled with dominance, "Explain yourself! How dare you fight and kill the city guards of a city within the Wuxian kingdom? You shall now be executed under my orders, and your head be brought back to the Imperial City for treason!"
