"My friend, you heard, my other friend here said we can't release them yet."
The robed middle-aged man naturally heard what Hu Lao San had said.
He could even tell that Hu Lao San must be a resident of the city.
Seeing a mere commoner daring to speak of taking a direct descendent of the Qi Family as a hostage,
a trace of coldness couldn't help but emerge in the robed middle-aged man's eyes, "Since that's the case, I shall have no choice but to experience your remarkable skills."
With that, a powerful oppressive force similarly emerged from his body, rolling towards Lu Qing and the others like a crushing wave.

At the gates of the City Lord Mansion, a tall and majestic figure hurried inside.
Just as he reached the gate, he was stopped by a guardian with a hand.
"City Guardian Zuo, please halt."
