Ye Luo and Nalan Chen merely found a secluded spot to temporarily stay using the Vajra carriage as their abode.

However, Ye Luo still underestimated the Junior City Lord’s arrangements!

In fact, aside from manpower, the Junior City Lord also set up countless surveillance measures!

It can be said, unless Ye Luo and Nalan Chen never show up outside the city, their appearance would inevitably not escape surveillance!

Ye Luo was already quite cautious. When he showed up outside Nan Zhou City, he did not leave the carriage, nor did he show his face. Unfortunately, the sudden appearance of the carriage, and not entering the city, was sufficient to arouse suspicion.

...

"Constable, do you think the people the Junior City Lord wants could be in this carriage? I see nothing unusual about the carriage though!"

At night, a squad of horsemen was stealthily moving, indeed it was the City Lord’s Mansion constables who had noticed Ye Luo’s Vajra carriage and then prepared to come and capture people.

Constables, unlike guards, might be lesser in combat power and quality, but a dozen constables also represented a force not to be underestimated.

The head constable, hearing his subordinate’s words, shook his head helplessly and said, "You ask me, who shall I ask? Who knows what’s the deal with this carriage, stopping outside the city but not entering, isn’t that suspicious? Alright, everyone stay sharp, no matter who is inside that carriage, since we have been dispatched here, we just need to complete the task!"

"Got it!"

The constables responded in unison.

Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Nalan Rou had already rested, but Ye Luo was sitting outside the carriage pondering his own matters.

It’s been some time since he came to the Martial Realm, yet, the longer Ye Luo stayed, the more he discovered the myriad secrets of the Martial Realm.

Until now, Ye Luo still hadn’t truly understood the Martial Realm.

Not to mention understanding the Martial Realm, even the Great Tang Empire had countless things unknown to Ye Luo.

Ye Lu realized he was missing home, recalling his days on Earth where living was much more carefree compared to the Martial Realm.

Of course, that’s not the key point. As long as Ye Luo wished, he could be carefree anywhere, but right now, what concerned him the most were Xiao Ba and Ao Long!

Ao Long had fallen into a thousand-year slumber just to send Ye Luo to the Martial Realm.

And Xiao Ba, because he took attacks for Ye Luo and overly burned his Instrument Soul, seemed plain in this Martial Realm, yet it was extremely perilous.

Several times, Ye Luo even nearly perished!

Strength, only strength!

In the Martial Realm, to gain more and live comfortably, one must have great strength to claim such a right. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

It seemed that Ye Luo had really been a bit too lax during this time.

But how exactly to seek strength?

That again is a difficult problem because Ye Luo found that the Cultivation methods, systems, and even sources of strength in the Martial Realm were all utterly alien to him.

...

While pondering these problems, suddenly, Ye Luo’s Divine Sense stirred, sensing something in his heart.

"Who’s there!"

Ye Luo suddenly shouted loudly, looking directly towards the distance, while the Lingyun Sword had already appeared in his hand.

"Charge! Surround them!"

Just as Ye Luo spotted those people, they had already rushed out, exactly the constables from Nan Zhou City!

"Criminal Ye Luo, Nalan Rou, heed this order, cease your resistance and immediately come with us back to the City Lord’s Mansion. You might suffer less punishment, otherwise, do not blame us for using force!"

The constable shouted loudly, treating Ye Luo and Nalan Rou as fugitives!

Of course, for these people, it was naturally impossible for them to know about the mishap in the Nalan Family or the conspiracy of the Junior City Lord; the orders they received were to capture Ye Luo and Nalan Chen, so they naturally treated Ye Luo and Nalan Rou as criminals!

Hearing the commotion, Nalan Rou immediately stepped out of the carriage. At that moment, Nalan Rou was holding a thin sword, evidently ready to fight desperately.

Ye Luo never expected that just by taking a glance outside Nan Zhou City, without even leaving the carriage, they would still be discovered.

Luckily, it was only the constables who came; if it was the guards from the City Lord’s Mansion, they would have really had trouble.

Ye Luo knew they couldn’t stay here for long. Since these constables had already discovered him and Nalan Rou, undoubtedly, reinforcements sent by the Junior City Lord must be setting out from Nan Zhou City.

Ye Luo and his company weren’t far from Nan Zhou City, so Ye Luo must leave quickly!

"Rou’er, get back inside the carriage, we are leaving this place!"

As Ye Luo yelled to Nalan Rou, he swiftly jumped onto the carriage, ready to leave!

"Trying to escape? Hmph, catch them; it’s not that easy!"

At the constable’s command, immediately, the constables charged toward the carriage.

Meanwhile, the hands of these constables threw out Array Flags!

These Array Flags are one of the fundamental tools the constables use to capture criminals, capable of rapidly constructing a trapping formation that prevents those within from escaping.

In an instant, flashlights flickered, and iron chains suddenly appeared, completely sealing off the space around the carriage!

If they wanted to forcibly break through, it was simply impossible, unless the Formation was broken first.

Ye Luo, without hesitation, leaped in front of the carriage, charging forward, he needed to break a gap in the Formation before the carriage arrived!

Lingyun Sword Technique sixth form, Overlord Sword!

Ye Luo swung his Lingyun Sword ferociously toward the front!

With a loud bang, yet no gap was opened.

"Kid, stop struggling, did you think our Formation could be broken so easily? Hmph, just come back with us obediently!"

A constable smirked, in his eyes, since the Formation was set, Ye Luo was like a bird trapped in a cage.

While saying this, a flash of light burst beside the constable, activating his Domain!

Almost all constables cultivate the same Domain, partly to coordinate in battle with each other and partly because their Domains have the ability to confine enemies, specifically designed for capturing criminals.

Streams of light continuously moved around that constable, and as if it had spirituality, it swept towards Ye Luo upon appearing.

Light like ropes, once trapped by these lights, trouble would likely ensue.

At the same time, that constable also casually threw out an item, handcuffs and leg shackles!

The handcuffs and leg shackles are specialized Magical Treasures used by constables, much like those Ye Luo had seen back on Earth.

If there was indeed a difference, it was that these constable’s handcuffs and leg shackles were actually Magical Treasures!

The light swept toward Ye Luo, and the handcuffs and leg shackles were already locking towards him.

It could be said, Ye Luo had fallen into peril in a moment.
