Chen Yunyun unleashes a powerful attack, but Fang Yu manages to protect Ding Hui. Chen Yunyun then surprisingly offers to talk, apologizing for her subordinates' actions and identifying herself as the gatekeeper of Sui Chong Pass. Fang Yu retrieves Ding Hui, and Chen Yunyun withdraws, but bystanders accuse Fang Yu of attacking the Xiao Family.

Fang Yu noticed that the last person to speak was surprisingly from the Xiao Family, Xiao Shanggong!

This old geezer, not only does he cling like a shadow, but he also bites back!

But as Fang Yu slightly furrowed his brows.

He saw Chen Yunyun casually glance back.

Bang!!!

Xiao Shanggong’s small frame was instantly pressed to the ground by Bai Qi’s single knee! Raising a cloud of dust.

Xiao Shanggong cried out in pain, but no one dared to help; those who had spoken just now all lowered their heads and silently retreated to the back of the crowd, fearing they might stand out and invite trouble.

Bai Qi lacked in martial prowess, but he was not ignorant of the bureaucracy.

To climb to a position close to second-in-command at Sui Chong Pass, he certainly knew how to curry favor with the gatekeeper.

With just a look, a slight frown, he could understand the gatekeeper’s intentions and how to act accordingly.

The attitude of Sui Chong Pass caused a subtle shift in the scene. The crowd that had been clamoring now fell silent.

Fang Yu’s slightly furrowed brows relaxed.

"I want a person."

As these words were spoken, the atmosphere became noticeably heavy.

Even Chen Yunyun slightly furrowed her brow and looked over.

"I speak for Shen Tumeng and..."

"I want him."

Fang Yu pointed directly at Hei Wu Jue, who was lying on the ground.

Chen Yunyun was startled, then quickly reacted, her face breaking into a smile.

"Consider it done."

"I also want early passage through Sui Chong Pass, the queue is too long."

Chen Yunyun’s smile deepened.

"No problem."

"Then there’s nothing more."

Fang Yu gave Quan Yingnan and his nearly paralyzed Guard Team a glance, and they hastily emerged from the crowd.

"Hold on!"

Chen Yunyun spoke again.

Fang Yu said nothing, just looked at her.

"May I ask this friend’s name?"

"Last name Diao, given name De Yi."

"Young Master Diao, as an apology, on behalf of Sui Chong Pass, I’d like to invite Young Master Diao inside. I hope you would grace us with your presence."

"No time."

Fang Yu helped Ding Hui back into the carriage, speaking without lifting his head.

"...Young Master Diao, the person you’re taking is said to belong to Hei Ningyu. If this claim is true, handing him over to you means we at Sui Chong Pass bear great risk."

Fang Yu looked at her in confusion.

"You court officials are afraid of one fugitive criminal?"

Chen Yunyun smiled bitterly.

"It seems Young Master Diao rarely walks the Central State of Great Xia. Anyone listed in the Heaven Roster is without exception a powerful figure beyond worldly comprehension. We at Sui Chong Pass cannot afford to provoke them."

What’s with this grand list, it seems pretty prestigious?

Fang Yu tilted his head slightly.

"He was merely boasting; it might not be true."

"Young Master Diao, where there is smoke, there is fire. Moreover, surely Young Master Diao wants this person to learn some information from him, correct? In this aspect, I think our hands at Sui Chong Pass are more professional than yours."

Fang Yu, frowned.

Honestly, earlier, he already used threats of life and death against Hei Wu Jue, but this guy was truly unyielding.

If there are sufficient professional interrogators at Sui Chong Pass, perhaps they could...

Fang Yu looked at the already unconscious Qian Guxing and Ding Hui in the carriage, pondering slightly.

Even if he doesn’t hand the person over for interrogation at Sui Chong Pass, with Ding Hui around, there should be a way...

Just as Fang Yu thought this, he suddenly sensed something, and immediately turned to look back.

Rumble...

Rumble!

The ground was slightly trembling.

Some sensed it, others remained oblivious.

Chen Yunyun at Sui Chong Pass furrowed her brows slightly.

Trouble was coming.

"Lift the restrictions, everyone, orderly retreat into the pass! If anyone causes chaos, they will be suppressed and barred forever!"

Her sudden command stunned everyone around.

However, Fang Yu immediately gave Quan Yingnan of the Guard Team a look.

While other teams were still in a daze, Fang Yu’s convoy had already started racing toward the checkpoint gate, disregarding any orders for orderly queueing.

Bai Qi and Jing Jun hesitated, seeing Chen Yunyun’s tacit approval, they swiftly kept quiet as if not seeing anything.

Fang Yu’s convoy’s head start propelled them forward significantly, almost reaching the checkpoint gate.

And Fang Yu, hauling the detained Hei Wu Jue and carrying the unconscious Qian Guxing, closely followed behind his carriage.

Other convoys at Sui Chong Pass, even if slow, seemingly sensed something amiss, hurriedly following orders and moving forward.

Originally, it was a slow, scrutinized entry, each team following procedure. Now with restrictions lifted, all checks, registrations, and scrutinies were abandoned.

One team after another, passing through in a steady stream!

However, before all teams could enter the pass, a howl from a demon echoed from the rear of the convoy.

"Roar!!!!"

The sound was deafening, the ground trembled, causing even the mountains beside the checkpoint to shake slightly, dislodging some rocks.

"Quick! Hurry up!"

"Run for your lives! Who knows what kind of Great Demon is arriving!"

"Even the gatekeeper is preparing, the demon coming this time might have a formidable presence!"

People in the convoy began sprinting frantically, some even jumping off their slow-moving carts, rushing to the front.

If not for the gatekeeper’s order forbidding chaotic queue-jumping, these people would have already turned into a jumbled pile at the front, resulting in trampling deaths even before the demon’s arrival.
