West City Slum!

The house where the black slaves were located was already surrounded by a group of fully armed city guards.

These guards, wearing armor and wielding sharp blades, looked coldly at the black slaves in the formation ahead, their expressions extremely unsightly.

They had been here for half an hour.

Originally, they received orders from the deputy commander to capture a few criminals causing trouble at the Feng family, thinking it was just a small matter. Who would have thought that the other party would be so stubborn, hiding in the formation and not coming out for a long time, which made the leading captain, Guan Wei, extremely angry.

In the imperial city, even they, the city guards, dared not disobey orders, and they were dealing with a group of outsiders; it was simply outrageous.

"Listen here, you inside," Guan Wei shouted sternly at the black slaves in the formation. "We are ordered to capture you. If you don’t come out now, don’t blame the city guards for being unreasonable. At that time, we will summon the experts from the dynasty's Xuanwu Guard and treat you as rebels. It won’t be so easy to negotiate then."

Guan Wei’s face was dark as he glared at the black slaves in the formation.

Before coming to capture them, he had inquired about the black slaves’ situation and knew they were a group of experts who had wiped out the Feng family. However, he did not dare to forcefully break in.

After all, as the captain of the city guards, he was only a peak-level Wuzong and was not enough to pose a threat to them.

Of course, cultivation rank was not everything. In the imperial city, the city guards represented the official authority of the dynasty, and no faction dared to attack them.

"All of you are heroes of the city guards, and I naturally dare not disrespect you. However, the matter about the Feng family was instigated by them secretly harming our martial artists. After being exposed, they cruelly attacked us. We were forced to fight back, which led to casualties. There are many witnesses present who can prove our words. Your Excellency, directly coming here to arrest us seems like you have mistaken the target," the black slave said gloomily from within the formation.

Considering the identity of the city guards, he had been holding back and did not make a move.

"Wrong target?" Guan Wei snorted coldly.

How could he not know what happened with the Feng family? However, this time he came to capture someone because it was an order directly given by the deputy commander. He had no choice; regardless of whether the other party was innocent, he had to bring them back. Otherwise, he would be derelict in his duty.

"Human life is at stake. The truth of the matter cannot be judged solely by your one-sided words. You all must come back to the city guard headquarters for an investigation. Only by clarifying the situation can your innocence be restored. If the facts are not as you say and you slaughtered the family in the imperial city, it is a grave crime that can lead to beheading!"

"I've said before, cooperating with your investigation is not impossible, but your city guard needs to issue an arrest warrant, right? Without an arrest warrant, how can we follow you? Who knows if this is just personal revenge, wanting to get back at the Feng family?" the black slave sneered.

The city guards must show an arrest warrant before taking people away. These guys don’t even have an arrest warrant; it would be strange if they were not sent by the Leng family.

Guan Wei was so furious he trembled, angrily retorting, "The arrest warrant from our team was issued in haste, and I forgot to bring it. But someone has already been dispatched to get it. Shouldn't you all come out? Defying the city guard's orders, do you know what the penalty is?"

"That still has to wait until the arrest warrant arrives," the black slave said, not budging.

"Only with an arrest warrant does it equate to an official document. Otherwise, if you are taken to the city guard, there would be no way to seek justice if you are killed."
