Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 616 - 611: A War of Words Against Many Heroes
Right before entering the city, the focus of everyone's accusations was still the Yin-Yang Temple of Fusang Kingdom. Now that there was a chance to turn the spearhead toward the Xuanyuan Hall of Xuanyuan Nation, Divine Master Tanaka naturally couldn't pass it up.
Divine Master Tanaka saw that among those who were going to denounce, there was an Onmyoji from their Yin-Yang Temple. He immediately sent a secret message: "Jisang, you must incite everyone's emotions right away, demanding Xuanyuan Hall to hand over the person. Make the scene intense and don't stop!"
The Onmyoji called Jisang's expression changed. He knew that it was Divine Master Tanaka who was sending him the message. Being only a Half-Step Golden Core Onmyoji, he certainly wouldn't disobey the orders of Gentleman Tanaka.
Originally, everyone had already stopped shouting, waiting for the response of the First Hall Master.
It was at this moment that Jisang's eyes shifted, and when the voices slowly began to subside, he shouted hoarsely again: "Doesn't Xuanyuan Nation have a saying that 'a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated'? This Mu Tian robbing us is an insult to everyone. Rather than you killing us, we absolutely cannot tolerate such a humiliation!"
With these words, everyone's emotions were once again stirred up. Many had accumulated treasures, spirit stones, and spiritual medicines over many years. Anyone who encountered Mu Tian and was weaker than him or caught by surprise was robbed clean by this guy. The point was, this guy hardly ever killed anyone, just looting wealth. But their years of accumulation gone, that made them feel even more miserable and utterly humiliated.
"The realm-breaking spirit medicine I was preparing to use to advance to the Golden Core Realm was also robbed by that bastard Mu Tian. You might as well have killed me, Mu Tian come out!"
A Wizard from the Wizard Alliance of Snow Wolf Country gnashed his teeth as he spoke.
He was flying at that time, seeking a place for breaking through the Realm. Out of nowhere, Mu Tian struck from behind, knocking him unconscious. When he woke up, all his possessions were gone, even stripped of his clothes, and his inner armor had disappeared.
Seething with rage, afterward, he sought far and wide only to learn that in the nearby area, there had been various incidences of robbery by Mu Tian, and then he realized he had fallen victim to Mu Tian's schemes.
"I just came out of the secret realm with dozens of spirit stones. I was knocked out just as I left the place, and when I woke up, the spirit stones in my hand were already taken away by that scoundrel Mu Tian!"
This was an Expert of the Half-Step Golden Core Realm. For an ordinary one, dozens of spirit stones represented an immense fortune, as not all of them could enter the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm. Most people in the Outer Battlefield didn't have many spirit stones in their hands.
One after another, experts stood out and emotionally recounted the crimes of Mu Tian.
The people from Xuanyuan Hall were dumbfounded, not expecting Mu Tian to have done so much in the Outer Battlefield. They knew he had the title of 'the number one scoundrel of the Outer Battlefield,' but they never imagined he could be so despicable. Just robbing without killing, wasn't that simply murdering souls?
All their valuables were gone. Many of the lower-level Cultivators had struggled for years to accumulate what they had, and now it had all been taken away. Certainly, this felt even worse than death.
Ye Feng and the others twitched at the corner of their mouths as Chi Jark gloomily said, "Now I finally know why this guy Mu Tian progressed so fast. In less than a year on the Outer Battlefield, he's reached the realm of a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm. How many people has this guy robbed? He must be the richest by now, right?"
Chi Jark said this as he cast a green-eyed look towards Mu Tian in the crowd, and even Xiao Rulong couldn't help but gulp. Didn't that mean Mu Tian was now a walking treasure vault?
This group coming forward to denounce included more than a dozen people, not to mention those who didn't make it to the genius battle conference of the talent rankings?
The years of accumulation of so many experts at the Half-Step Golden Core Realm had been snatched away by one person.
By now, Mu Tian's wealth probably matched that of the Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm, right?
It wasn't just Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong who thought this way. Many from Xuanyuan Hall seemed quite eager to move, especially those close to Mu Tian who were eyeing him closely. If it weren't for the First Hall Master being there, perhaps they would have already made their move.
Mu Tian, seeing the gazes of the people around him, changed his expression. He bit his teeth and stepped forward to face the crowd that came to condemn.
"Is Mu Tian planning to give an account to the public?"
"Perhaps, he has wronged too many people with his robberies, and he already incited public fury. If he doesn't give these people an explanation, I guess they all want to take matters into their own hands."
"That's true. I think this guy will definitely have to return some of the things he robbed from these people, or else no one will let this rest."
"This guy is truly bold, daring to offend so many. With so many powerful experts each taking a shot, even the strongest Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm would have to kneel."
Many began discussing again, believing that Mu Tian was definitely about to give a statement to those who came to denounce him.
But what Mu Tian did next surprised everyone. Standing in front of the First Hall Master, Mu Tian pointed directly at the condemning crowd and cursed loudly, "You idiots are the epitome of stupidity. The fact that Grandpa Mu doesn't kill you should be considered grace. You still want me to kill you all, is that it?"
"If your stuff was stolen by me, that's because you were too weak to protect it. It has nothing to do with me. And now you've got the nerve to come forward and tell everyone you were robbed like some pitiful victim seeking justice?"
"Such shameless faces, too stupid for the Outer Battlefield. If you make it back alive, that's already remarkable. After all this time here, do you still not know what it means to be content?"
"Grandpa Mu, I'm really at a loss with you guys. How can you be so foolish?"

"What's that? You're not satisfied? Come on then, try to kill me if you dare. Right here, right now, come on!"
"Afraid, are you? If you're too scared, then what's all that pointless yapping for, Grandpa Mu? Anyone would think it's a bunch of Half-Step Golden Core Realm and some Golden Core Realm cultivators setting up a vegetable stall to hawk their wares, no different than ordinary folks in Xuanyuan Nation's food markets. Are your brains not fully developed or what?"
Mu Tian didn't blush or skip a beat as he hurled insults and provocations, dirty words and all, completely ignoring the stares of the crowd. He pointed at the people who had come to denounce him, and let loose a torrent of curses without pause.
Everyone present was stunned. Who would have thought that Mu Tian would turn the tables and start cursing them out, and such a long rant, too? They had come to denounce Mu Tian, but how had it suddenly turned into them being lectured by him instead?
Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong were dumbstruck, and even Sausage Sister couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Long Nannan opened her little mouth and said dazedly, "This guy can curse so fiercely, berating so many people all by himself. Is he really not afraid of dying?"
Ye Feng also raised his eyebrows. Mu Tian's actions would probably incite the crowd to the brink of rage. If someone couldn't hold back and started a fight, things could get tricky, especially since there were over a dozen experts present, the weakest among them at the Half-Step Golden Core Realm.
Although he and Mu Tian were no longer comrades, he did not wish to see his old friend get into trouble right in front of him.
At that moment, Xiao Rulong smiled and said, "Even if he's cursing like that now, as long as he's within this city, nothing will happen to him. This city, though built collectively by the recent Great Powers, also has a Formation that prohibits fighting. Of course, this Formation only affects those below the Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm. After all, this city doesn't have the foundational Formation that the Ancient Cities, which have existed since ancient times, do. Here, the Formation was conjured by Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm from the various Great Powers, a kind of castrated version."
"Only on certain specially formed stages can you engage in combat," Xiao Rulong added, pointing to the ten massive stages below the platform, which shimmered with the light of special Formations.
"More so, this guy is clever, starting his rant right in front of the First Hall Master. Even if a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm takes action, the First Hall Master will stop it," Xiao Rulong said with a smile.
That's when everyone nodded in understanding; it turns out Mu Tian wasn't entirely brainless.
But in the crowd, Bu Fengning raised an eyebrow and shook his head, looking at Mu Tian standing before the First Hall Master.
By Bu Fengning's side, Bu Tianyun whispered, "Big brother Fengning, Mu Tian is really daring, using the First Hall Master like that. If a Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm really makes a move later, and the First Hall Master doesn't step in, he's done for."
Bu Fengning replied indifferently, "A Great Power of the Yin-Yang Realm won't take action, but by doing this, he's backed himself into a corner. You can't start conflicts within the city, but as soon as the competition for the talent ranking ends, the city will be closed, and no one will be allowed to stay."
That was a rule of the city. The talent ranking competition had existed for a long time, and the city was built for the sparring of the younger generation. Erected by the consensus of the Four Great Powers, the city was to be closed after any competition, preserving the training environment of the Outer Battlefield.
"Once he's outside the city gates, he will be targeted immediately. When that happens, he won't have a chance to escape," Bu Fengning said.
"Unless he's confident he can escape amidst a dozen experts, he wouldn't have done something so foolish."
Bu Fengning's gaze remained on Mu Tian, curious. Did that guy truly have no fear of a dozen experts ganging up on him?
If it were him, he would be confident of escaping the clutches of these Half-Step Golden Core and few Golden Core Realm powerhouses since he had already been in the Golden Core Realm for three years. His time spent gaining experience during those years made him very confident in his own strength.
But Mu Tian? How could this newly advanced Golden Core Powerhouse dare to be so arrogant?
Meanwhile, those who had come to denounce Mu Tian were flushed with rage, their eyes practically shooting flames. They all wished they could kill Mu Tian to vent their anger, yet not a single one dared to make a move, knowing full well they couldn't fight within the city.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and even the First Hall Master watched Mu Tian with an amused expression.
A moment later, one of the strong men gritted his teeth and said, "Mu Tian, you remember this—once we're outside the city, there's no escape for you!"
