Chapter 232 - No Need to Leave with the Well (1/2)

Vigilante A stepped onto the red carpet in the city hall. On both sides of the red carpet was a pretty lady followed by many Extraordinaire bodyguards. Coupled with the God of Gamblers soundtrack when Chow Yunfat appeared, the atmosphere was extraordinarily grandiose and exceedingly stylish.

Fang Ning looked and muttered with a slight regret, “Should have slicked the hair back like Chow Yunfat… never mind, Slicked-back hair doesn’t suit Vigilante A. Let’s go in with a confident smile and wave your arm to show a little finesse.”

Most of the Extraordinaire bodyguards were Grade-C and above, which is to say, Bucket-level and above. Those who were weaker than that would not have qualified to be a bodyguard of the Duke.

Powerhouses like this would be respected in many other sects or schools. They would be addressed as Big Senior Brother or Big Senior Sister and would be the focus of people’s attention.

However, right now, their attention was focused on the person who had just arrived.

The newcomer looked stoic and expressionless, so everyone was squirming in discomfort. ‘Would he be a difficult person to deal with?’

Landlord Yun had met Vigilante A before. She could tell what was happening, so she began applauding.

The other bodyguards followed suit subconsciously.

It was then that they saw Vigilante A who was on the red carpet beamed with a warm smile and waved at them.

Grins appeared on everyone’s faces naturally, and they were relieved.

Immediately after, they could feel a majestic aura blasting into the sky and turned pale.

The power was far stronger than Duke Yun at his strongest when he was defending against monsters or fight other people.

In comparison, one was like a pond in the countryside and the other a lake of immeasurable size, it was easy to see the difference between the two.

“Nice, it really is the Eastern Dragon God!” Duke Yun Hui had a different reaction to everyone else. He was so happy to the point that he stood up, swayed a little but managed to hold his balance, and walked down the aisle to greet Vigilante A.

“Cousin brother? Are you feeling alright?” Yun Xuan returned to his side, preparing to support him.

Yun Hui did not look at his cousin sister. His eyes were fixed onto Vigilante A as a hope flickered into existence that he might be able to save the situation.

At the same time, many people in their buses and were making their way to the airport shuddered before reaching outside to look toward the direction of the city hall.

This was a city of Extraordinaires, its citizens had cultivated at least a little. When they were recruiting for employees, the applicants had been thoroughly assessed. The ones who got in were the ones who had some basic talent for cultivation. That was loosened up when family members were allowed in.

Sensing strength was the most basic of their homework. If they could not achieve that, they would not have known when they might die.

Simultaneously, they felt a mighty presence appearing above the city hall and formed a vague shape of a dragon. Recalling the flight of the green dragon a while ago, they immediately understood it was the arrival of a strong ally, the Dragon God!

Having understood that, no one panicked. Smiles warmed everyone’s faces as they thought, ‘Maybe we really don’t need to leave our homes.’ After all, most of the citizens were Chinese people. Being an agriculture-heavy society, their attachment to their homeland was in their blood…

By that time, on the west edge of the city, Landlord Liu was supervising as several dozen workers were busy at a limestone well.

Some people were stabilizing the Vitality nodes around it, others were digging the earth around them, and the rest were setting up sealing formations. It was like they were trying to dig up the whole well and bring it along with them. Everyone was moving deliberately, carefully.

Different from other folks who were evacuating, they looked like they were actually going to ‘leave their hometown with a well on their backs’ 1 …

It was only halfway done when Landlord Liu shuddered and stared at the city hall in disbelief.

“Sir, are we still moving this well infused with the Vitality Spirit?” asked a few of his subordinates as they felt it.

Landlord Liu was stunned, but immediately turned joyful and replied, “Maybe not. It was only half a month, but the Venerable Dragon God had already advanced to Lake-level, enough to take on that Giant Spirit Bear. If we moved the Well of Vitality and damaged the Vitality Spirit, it would have been left with a tenth of its Vitality-gathering effects, that would be a shame. Stop the operation, I shall ask the Duke.”

…

In the city hall, Vigilante A began speaking only after he finished releasing his power.

“Russia has always been bullying the weak while avoiding the strong. They massacred the helpless and the weak. I have always maintained that justice must be served, so I came all the way here. You are Duke Yun?”

Supported by his cousin sister, Yun Hui managed to stabilize himself on his legs. He said while saluted Vigilante A with a closed fist, “Well met, Venerable One. It is my honor to be recognized by you at first glance. I had been betrayed by some people and am currently poisoned, that was why I could not greet you in person, hope you would understand that.”

Vigilante A nodded. Without saying anything, he pointed at Yun Hui.

Yun Hui was startled, as did all others.

Immediately after, Yun Hui was overjoyed as his strength returned to him. In his excitement, he shook off Yun Xuan’s support and bowed at Vigilante A. “Venerable One, your might is boundless, I am forever thankful.”

It was then that everyone realized the green aura surrounding the Duke had dispersed. His face was in the pink, and he had reverted to his usual strong stature. For that, all the people were thrilled. In a situation like this, all those who had remained beside Yun Hui had been his fiercest supporters.

Yun Xuan was happily surprised. “Cousin brother, you’ve completely recovered?”

Yun Hui nodded, signaling to Yun Xuan that she need not say much.

Fang Ning read the system notification with satisfaction.

[The System used the legendary equipment Poison Prevention Orb and activated the skill Detoxify. Yun Hui was no longer afflicted by the Master-level poison Medea’s Poison.]

Yun Hui was really shocked by this turn of events. He did not expect the poison that had beaten the antidotes he had collected over the years as well as his solid foundation base could be easily resolved just by a single flick of Vigilante A’s finger.

Seeing the difference between them, he was not even disappointed in the slightest. He was delirious. ‘Looks like he could really turn the tide around.’

He promptly treated Vigilante A with the utmost respect, leading Vigilante A to a meeting room just beside the room and letting him sit on the VIP seat.
