Chapter 271 Is This a Threat? An Unexpected Attack

Su Chen, Zhou Wuyuan and others released their perceptions together, trying to detect the level of the strong man outside.

Because there was a door between them, Su Chen had no way to use the system to detect.

But they found that the people outside the door had no cultivation at all.

Or... they couldn't detect it!

"Could it be that the ninth stage of the Holy Light Empire has come?" Zhou Wuyuan was shocked!

They could sense a little bit of the eighth stage, and the one who could do something that they couldn't detect at all could only be the ninth stage!

"The Holy Light Empire also has the ninth stage?" This time it was Su Chen's turn to be surprised.

An eighth stage mage Lu Ye made them almost helpless. If the ninth stage came, would they still have to fight?

"If you don't open the door, we will come in by ourselves." The person outside the door said, and kicked the door open.

Everyone entered the fighting state.

And Xu Yongyuan squatted on the spot with his head in his hands.

"Xu Yongyuan, what are you doing?"

"I haven't seen you report to the pterosaur nest these days."

"And in broad daylight, why are you closing the door at home?"

Several guards rushed in.

Suddenly seeing a room full of big men, he was stunned for a moment.

"Uh... who are you?" the guard asked in surprise.

Su Chen saw that these guards didn't even know who they were, and immediately realized that it was a misunderstanding.

"We are friends of Brother Xu. The city is closed these days, so we are staying at their house."

The guard turned his head and looked at Xu Yongyuan who was squatting on the ground.

"Xu Yongyuan, what are you doing again?"

Xu Yongyuan stood up awkwardly. He also realized that this was not going to be a fight, but that the other party just happened to come to him.

"I'm fine, I'm just tired of standing, and I want to squat for a while."

"I've been sick these days and can't report to the pterosaur nest."

"I'll go back and explain the situation in a few days." Xu Yongyuan whispered.

The guards looked at everyone in confusion after hearing this.

Xiao Ningxue had already hidden herself. If the other party made a move, she would launch an unexpected attack.

But the guards only patrolled twice and then turned back: "Then you should report as soon as possible."

"Since you have guests at home, we will not disturb you."

The guards turned and went out, and everyone calmed down.

But Su Chen noticed something was wrong.

"No, none of those guards can be let go!"

Su Chen and others immediately chased out.

The guards left calmly as usual.

From time to time, they also collected protection fees from several street vendors and took some "free" food before leaving.

People on the street were even more afraid to avoid these guards.

All this seemed normal. Did the other party really not see anything?

Others also chased out and saw that the guards were still talking about where to go for a drink later. It didn't look like anything was wrong.

"Are you going to take action?" Zhou Wuyuan asked Su Chen.

Su Chen frowned and thought for a while before shaking his head.

"There are too many people on the street. Even if we fight, it will attract other people."

"Let's go back first."

After the door was closed, Su Chen immediately said, "I'm afraid we can't stay here."

Xu Yongyuan was already scared.

It's a good thing that Su Chen and others want to leave, but the problem is that he has been exposed.

If Su Chen and others are caught, if someone recognizes them, he can't escape responsibility.

Su Chen also understood, and then walked to Xu Yongyuan's side: "It doesn't matter, maybe those guards didn't notice anything."

Xu Yongyuan also nodded, he could only hope so at this moment.

After Su Chen and others discussed, they planned to find a house where no one lived or someone who didn't have time to come back after leaving the city to stay for a few days.

Just a moment later, Su Chen and others packed up and left.

Only Xu Yongyuan and his family were left.

Xu Yongyuan looked at the window that Su Chen and others opened when they left, feeling a sense of loss.

"Husband, are they really your friends?" Xu Yongyuan's wife watched from the side.

His son saw the movement of several people leaving and guessed that they were not ordinary people.

"Dad, they are all the strong people you mentioned."

"I want to follow them."

Xu Yongyuan was about to slap his son, but stopped.

"You don't know the danger outside."

"Your father was just drafted into the army. If I had a choice, I would never go."

"Don't talk about this anymore, just pretend it never happened."

Xu Yongyuan's mother also sighed.

"Okay, let's eat first."

"Since they left, we can save some bowls at home today."

Xu Yongyuan pulled out a stone from the drawer, looked at it reluctantly for a few times, and locked it up again.

After Su Chen and others left.

At night.

When Xu Yongyuan was sleeping soundly at home.

Xu Yongyuan suddenly opened his eyes: "Who!"

I saw several masked men holding knives on everyone: "Xu Yongyuan, right!"

Xu Yongyuan only took a look at the other person's figure and guessed who it was.

But he didn't say it, instead he knelt on the ground pretending to be a coward: "Brothers!"

"We can discuss anything, don't hurt my family!"

"There is nothing valuable in my house, brothers, please don't do anything."

"All the silver coins I earned are placed under the bed, you can take them at will."

"I just hope that the brothers can let us go!"

These masked men all laughed when they saw Xu Yongyuan being so understanding.

"silver?"

"Is that what we want?"

"Tell me, who are the people who have been at your house these days."

"Where are they now?"

"Don't think we don't know. Recently, the superiors ordered the city to be closed, and many criminals have gone into hiding."

"There were several thefts around here in the past few days, was it them?"

"What have you done and how much money have you made? Hand it all over. In this case, I can consider sparing your life!"

Xu Yongyuan was stunned after hearing this.

Because the other person doesn't seem to know who the people in his family are.

Just thought they were a group of thieves?

Although Xu Yongyuan never asked Su Chen and others what they did.

But stealing is obviously too childish for a group of seventh-level fighters.

Unless it's the palace they want to steal.

But it can't be the surrounding households.

"I don't know, brother!"

"They are just a few of my friends who have just come to my home in the past few days. I don't know what they did."

"They left at noon today. Brother, I really don't know anything! I only have a little money and I put it all under the bed. If brother wants to take it, feel free to take it."

"I really don't know anything else!"

Seeing this, the masked man sneered: "Hmph, how could they be in your home if you don't know anything?"

"If you still don't say anything, then there's nothing I can do about it."

"Cut off your son's hand first, and you will tell!"
