  After this incident, people naturally didn't have the heart to continue staying in the jungle, especially for fear of encountering that ferocious female green velvet cat again. The creature was highly intelligent and would definitely launch a frenzied attack without regard for anything if it saw these people again. At that time, it wouldn't just be a matter of getting hurt.

  Fortunately, everyone still had Qin Li's iron-armored alligator, which was a great harvest. If they hadn't met that group of people, it would have been even more perfect.

  However, life is often disappointing, and through this matter, Qin Li gained a deeper understanding of some of the rules of this world, and his desire to increase his strength became even more urgent.

  These days, he has been uninterrupted in his practice of the Xiantian Purple Energy Technique. Qin Li discovered that in this primitive jungle, the speed of cultivation is faster than in Huangsha City, especially on sunny mornings, the purple energy from the east contains boundless energy! Qin Li feels that he will improve every day!

  Especially after he became completely familiar with this body, the almost perfect foundation showed explosive growth in his abilities!

  On his way back, Qin Li's mind once again flashed with that scene: Qin Hu looking at him with a face full of disdain, coldly laughing and saying "Basic master, basic is useless!"

  Nowadays, Qin Li's heart has no more sorrow or anger, only a faint sense of mockery!

  The city wall of Huangsha City was towering and majestic, with a thick and solemn atmosphere that came rushing in from tens of miles away. The closer they got to the city gate, the more somber everyone's mood became. If those people were really related to the royal family, then the Lord's Manor must have already known about it.

  Far away, the crowd didn't notice anything unusual at the city gate, and they slightly put their minds at ease. As long as they entered the city, everything would be fine.

  Qin Li and others did not know that at this moment, a fierce quarrel was taking place inside the city lord's mansion in Huangsha City!

  A beautiful girl with bright eyes and white teeth is now facing a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, who looks majestic, with an angry face.

  If Qin Li stood here, he would definitely recognize at a glance that this girl was the one who had attempted to assassinate him back then!

  "Father, such a good opportunity, you're actually going to let him off! Do you know that he almost killed Feng Ge! Now he's provoked the royal family, the people in the palace!" The beautiful young girl said with a faint redness around her eyes and a cold tone on the verge of tears.

  "Wind Brother, Wind Brother, all day you only know that Qin Feng, Dad has told you how many times, he is not your good match! No mistake, he is a once-in-a-century genius, looks are not to be said, family background... also not to be said! But precisely because of this, Dad does not approve of you two, think carefully, you and Qin Feng study at the Imperial Academy together, how many girls like him? Family background stronger than ours, how many? Only in Dad's heart, my dear daughter is the most beautiful, but do you really think you are the most beautiful woman under the sky? Daughter... think carefully, are you two really suitable?"

  The middle-aged man's face showed deep helplessness, looking at his daughter who still had a stubborn expression, and couldn't help but continue: "You said you actually went to assassinate Qin Li last time, are you out of your mind? Do you think Qin Feng will be grateful to you because of this? Impossible! He would instead blame you for being nosy! And do you know that by doing so, you will bring great harm to yourself and our family!"

  The girl didn't care about her father's last words, but was puzzled as to why Qin Feng would blame herself for being too meddlesome, and asked: "Why did he blame me for being too meddlesome?"

  "Because men don't like women to fight and kill, they especially don't like women interfering in their private matters! As a proud genius, I will take revenge myself!" The middle-aged man said coldly: "That's an internal matter of the Qin family, and as the son-in-law of the Shangguan family, do you really think that killing Qin Feng will get you off scot-free? Not only you, but even your father... we will all suffer a disastrous fate!"

  "How is that possible?" The girl's cold face finally showed a hint of surprise: "He, a lowly wild child with a humble identity, why is he so highly valued by others?"

  "Alas, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Just remember one thing: Qin Li in Huangsha City is a dead end for anyone who provokes him!" The middle-aged man added another sentence in his heart: At least that's the case now!

  The girl pouted, with a hint of discontent in her eyes, and said: "Then this time Li Gonggong suffered such a serious injury, will he let Qin Li off? Unexpectedly, that kid is actually a troublemaker, how did he do it? I heard that Li Gonggong is a top-notch master, after all!"

  When mentioning Li Gonggong, the middle-aged man's mouth twitched a few times, and he sighed, saying: "This is why I didn't let you get involved. The provincial-level masters at Qin Li's place suffered such a huge loss. Are you more powerful than them? Moreover, do you think the Shangguan family is just for show? Does Li Gonggong have the qualifications to speak in front of Princess Shangguan? This time... he is destined to suffer a tremendous loss!"

  The middle-aged man sighed and said to himself: I, as the city master, am really embarrassed. Relying on the strong influence of the Shangguan family, Li Gonggong's power is not even enough to be considered worthy of holding someone else's shoes! So, wanting to see a situation where dogs bite each other is truly too difficult!

  ……

  "Drive!"

  On the main street of Huangsha City, a sudden horseshoe sound rang out, and more than 20 black armored knights galloped wildly, with an astonishing momentum. Behind them were two luxurious horse-drawn carriages pulled by eight strong horses, also rushing in the same direction, heading straight for the city gate.

  Qin Li and others had just entered the city when they saw more than 20 knights rushing towards them from the opposite side, and were immediately stunned, thinking that something had happened again.

  At this time, a leading knight on horseback rushed to Qin Li and bowed: "May I ask if this is Qin Li, the young master of the Qin family? I am an upper official's house guard, specially ordered by my lord to bring Young Master Qin and others back home!"

  Ah Hu and others' hanging hearts fell directly, even Leng Yao also looked at Qin Li with a few unexpected glances.

  Qin Li returned a very calm bow and said: "Then thank you!"

  "Wait!"

  At this time, more than a dozen people suddenly came over from beside, and someone shouted loudly.

  Ah Hu and the others turned their heads, and their faces changed instantly. These more than ten people were exactly those who had clashed with them a few days ago. At this moment, they all stared at Qin Li with eyes that seemed to want to devour him. The ugly middle-aged man did not appear among them. A person who looked like the leader spoke loudly.

  "They can't go anywhere! They hurt the adults in my house, we're going to take them away!"

  The black-armored knight immediately looked at him with disdain, and the man who had rushed to speak was like a fool. He said calmly: "This is Huangsha City! They are noble guests of the Shangguan family!"

  The man who was speaking suddenly became enraged and said: "This is the emperor's land! They are imperial fugitives!"

  "Hmph, what a big hat, royal, really scary." The black armored knight sneered and saluted the sky, then said: "Our young lady is still the emperor's most favored concubine! What you're saying... which royal family? Hmm? Who gave you the qualification to represent the royal family?! Don't give face if you don't want it, in this land of Yellow Sand City, no one has ever dared to be arrogant in front of the Upper Official's household! You, if you want someone, call your superior to come to the Upper Official's residence to ask!"

  The Black Armor Knight finished speaking and smiled slightly at Qin Li: "Please get on the carriage, Young Master Qin and everyone!"

  "How dare you offend our family's elder like this!"

  He didn't expect the people from the Upper Official's household to be so overbearing and tyrannical, he was so angry that he almost didn't know what words to use to counterattack, he could only clench his fists tightly, with veins bulging on his forehead. If it weren't for Master Li's previous instructions not to clash with the people from the Upper Official's household, he would have already rushed up and chopped down that arrogant knight with one slash of his sword.

  "A eunuch who doesn't even have a single egg, dares to call himself a grandee! When I have time, I'll report it to my master and let him ask the imperial concubine, whether all of your family members can represent the imperial power!"

  The Black Knight's words were extremely venomous and sarcastic, causing the group of people to change color one by one, but they didn't dare move. They looked down on imperial power, this was a big hat that they couldn't wear!

  Baiyun and others heard it was extremely satisfying, with a comfortable expression on their faces.

  Qin Li got on the horse-drawn carriage with a calm expression, and left with his head held high amidst the crowd's hateful gazes.
