You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 15 You guys should back off. This is not something you can participate in.

The sun shines obliquely on the bank of the stream, and the water ripples, as if there is endless poetry rippling gently.

In this tranquil painting, the graceful Ye Lingyun is sitting cross-legged by the stream, practicing with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, she felt a slight movement, and then opened her autumn-water eyes, smart and deep.

He quickly stood up, walked over lightly, stood beside Chu He who was dressed in black, and called respectfully: "Teacher."

Chu He slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

Those were a pair of deep eyes that had been baptized by the years, as if they could see through all the illusions in the world.

He glanced around and saw that the originally quiet stream was now surrounded by a group of fully armed men.

The energy of Yuanli surging from their bodies was like an undercurrent, indicating that they were all powerful warriors.

"What happened here?"

"The son of the lord of Turtle City was killed. He was stabbed more than 30 times."

"Oh? Is this happening?"

"That guy usually does a lot of evil things. Now that he has ended up like this, it can be considered as getting rid of harm for the people."

"It's a good thing that bastard died. Someone should have dealt with him long ago."

"Keep your voice down. Don't let the city lord's people hear you. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble."

"I'm just saying it. Everyone knows that the city lord is furious right now."

Originally this was a peaceful place for entertainment, where people would take a leisurely stroll or stop to admire the scenery.

The arrival of these fully armed men broke the tranquility.

Drive away all the idlers one by one.

Those who were dispersed were not willing to leave. They hid outside the blockade and looked at everything here curiously.

Among them were some well-informed people who were discussing the murder case in whispers.

At this moment, Chu He took off his sunglasses and looked at the group of fully armed men.

At this moment, the whole scene seemed to be frozen in complete silence.

"Isn't that Chu He, the god of war who protects the nation?"

"Yes, it's him! He actually appears here. This is going to be interesting."

"Quick, tell Her Majesty the Queen the news. Tell her that we have found the exact location of Chuhe."

"This time, the Lord of Turtle City may have hit a wall."

"Humph, Chu He has long been known as a fame seeker. Maybe he is just a show-off. He seems to have given everything for the Great Jing Empire over the years, but maybe he is just lucky."

"That being said, Chu He is a king-level warrior after all, and his strength should not be underestimated."

"A powerful king? This level of power is what our Dajing Empire lacks the most. Twelve powerful kings went to the Demon Cave at once. They are the real heroes."

At this moment, someone in the crowd muttered, "The reason why the Dajing Empire has been able to develop to its most prosperous and powerful state today is because Chu He drove all the evil spirits to the Demon Cave and suppressed them. Other countries don't have such good luck, and there are no war gods like Chu He who protect the country."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted hostile gazes from the people around him.

In today's Dajing Empire, mainstream public opinion holds a disgusted attitude towards Chu He.

Even Chu He's wife chose to divorce, which is enough to prove how many absurd and immoral things Chu He did and how he betrayed the trust of the people.

Therefore, anyone who dares to speak for Chu He will be criticized by everyone.

Amid the noisy discussions, Chu He sat quietly. The whispers surged towards him like a tide, but failed to create any ripples in his heart.

His eyes penetrated the crowd and finally locked onto a man who was walking slowly out of the crowd.

That man was the lord of Turtle City.

His face was filled with mixed emotions at this moment.

"You are the Lord of Turtle City?" Chu He asked. The Lord of Turtle City nodded, with a complex light flashing in his eyes, with both awe for Chu He and grief and anger for his son's death: "Yes."

"You brought so many people to surround me today, is it to avenge your son?"

Chu He continued to ask.

The Lord of Turtle City nodded again: "That's right."

Chu He nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on the lord of Turtle City for a moment, as if he was examining something.

Although the Lord of Turtle City looked calm on the surface, Chu He could sense his inner anxiety and restlessness.

After all, the person standing in front of him was the once mighty god of war who protected the country.

"Do you know how many cruel things your son has done in Turtle City?"

Chu He's voice suddenly became cold, like the north wind in the cold winter, making people shudder.

The Lord of Turtle City was silent for a moment, then replied: "What if he knows? What if he doesn't know? He is my son after all.

I am not a native of Guijia City.

Ever since he started practicing martial arts, he has been drawn into the war with evil spirits.

I have paid so much, even far away from my hometown.

Whenever it is late at night and everyone is asleep, I can still dream of the rivers, wheat fields and the peaceful cicadas in the villages of my hometown.

I have given so much to the Dajing Empire, and now I have to stay here for the stability of a city.

Although my son made some mistakes, that was due to his youthful vigor.

These people owe me, this empire owes me."

At this point, the Lord of Turtle City became more and more excited.

His eyes were red and bloodshot, and his voice trembled slightly: “I know I am not your opponent, but I still want revenge.

Because you killed my only son, my body is broken and I can't give birth to another child.

So, I must pay for your son's death!"

However, facing the anger and excitement of the Lord of Turtle City, Chu He remained unusually calm.

He asked calmly, "What does your grievance have to do with me?"

The Lord of Turtle City was choked speechless by Chu He's words, and anger burned in his eyes like a raging fire.

He stared at Chu He's face that had terrified countless enemies: "You are worthy of being the god of war who protects the country. Your reputation is well-deserved. However, today your legend ends here."

Before he finished speaking, three figures slowly walked out from behind the city lord, all dressed in gorgeous clothes and with very different temperaments.

One of them looked disdainful, as if he had seen through Chu He's true colors.

One of them had a serious expression, and was obviously wary of the upcoming battle.

There was another person with a smile on his face, as if he was enjoying a good show.

Ye Lingyun felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw this.

She knew very well that these three were by no means ordinary people and must be masters of the king level.

The king-level masters are able to temporarily levitate in the air and ride the wind. Their appearance undoubtedly adds some variables to this battle.

She had long known that her teacher Chu He had an extraordinary identity, but she knew very little about his true strength.

The realm of becoming a king is still out of reach for her, and the mystery within it is even more difficult to guess.

"You guys should step back. This is not something you can participate in."

The gentle-looking man spoke softly, his voice was light but it carried unquestionable authority.
