Chapter 15

The entire Black Dragon City was in an uproar.

The third young master of the Wu family, known for his extravagant and dissolute lifestyle, was actually ambushed and injured on the street, which infuriated the Wu family. They were now conducting a large-scale search for the attacker who had harmed the third young master.

Moreover, the city lord of Black Dragon City had dispatched a large number of people to thoroughly investigate the incident.

This incident seemed minor, but the third young master of the Wu family was after all a direct descendant of one of the eight major families in Black Dragon City. Such an event had never happened before, and even if he had been targeted by some desperate criminals, it would not have happened in broad daylight.

Furthermore, the eight major families had a very strong foundation, and even desperate criminals would not easily provoke them.

Although the third young master of the Wu family was dissolute, he usually had well-trained guards accompanying him. However, it was his bad luck that he did not leave the city today and did not allow the guards to closely follow him, only taking his servant with him.

It was at this moment that the attacker seized the opportunity, ambushing the third young master of the Wu family and his servant, and in a very short time, disappeared into the alleys. The people on the street did not have time to react, and the attacker vanished without a trace.

In the Yunlong Inn, when the news of the third young master of the Wu family being attacked reached Yi Tian, he couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction.

Iron Man indeed lived up to his expectations.

Yi Feng, Yi Shan, and others felt very relieved upon hearing this news.

At the same time, they felt a bit strange. They had just had a conflict with the other party earlier, and soon after, the third young master of the Wu family was attacked. This seemed too coincidental.

Yi Feng, Yi Li, and Yi Kai were a bit puzzled.

However, Yi Tian had been dining with them all evening and would not have had the time to ambush the other party.

Therefore, they quickly dismissed this suspicion.

They planned to set off the next day, so a large amount of supplies was piled up in the backyard, tied to the beast carts, and they would leave early the next morning.

In the Shi Yun Pavilion on Shixuan Street.

After venting his frustration, Manager Qi soon received the news of the third young master of the Wu family being attacked.

As a shrewd and suspicious businessman, Manager Qi easily connected the dots between the person who had cheated him out of a piece of yuan stone and the conflict with Yi Tian and others.

"It must have been them!"

Manager Qi's eyes turned red, and he was visibly agitated.

Previously, he had only been affiliated with a medium-sized force in Black Dragon City, having to hand over more than 70% of his income every year.

If he could expose the attacker to the head of the Wu family, he might gain the head's favor, which would undoubtedly be a great opportunity for him to rise in status.

Thus, Manager Qi immediately closed the shop and hurriedly headed towards the Wu family's residence.

In the Wu family's main hall.

The head of the Wu family was currently furious, having just scolded the people he had sent out to search for the attacker.

Wu Yan was his third son, but he was thoroughly disappointed with this son who bullied men and women and indulged in debauchery. Even so, Wu Yan was still his son.

The attack on the third young master of the Wu family was a significant blow to the Wu family's reputation and influence. Only by thoroughly finding the attacker could this storm be calmed; otherwise, it would become a laughingstock for other forces in Black Dragon City.

Originally, it was thought that finding an attacker in Black Dragon City would be easy, but unexpectedly, the attacker was very familiar with the city's terrain and quickly disappeared, making it impossible to find his location or identity.

"Report to the head of the family, there is someone outside who claims to know the identity of the attacker who assaulted the third young master!"

Just as the head of the Wu family was at a loss, a steward entered the hall and reported.

"Please him in!"

A flash of joy crossed the head of the Wu family's face, and he then said sternly.

Soon, Manager Qi was led into the hall by the steward and met the head of the Wu family.

Manager Qi then cautiously recounted the conflict between Yi Tian and others and the third young master of the Wu family that afternoon, subtly suggesting that the attackers might be Yi Tian and his group.

After hearing this, the head of the Wu family also believed that Yi Tian and his group were likely the attackers and immediately ordered a city-wide search for them.

However, Black Dragon City was vast, with nearly a million people, and finding Yi Tian and his group would not be easy, even though their identities were roughly determined to be warriors or descendants from a tribe.

That night, a city-wide search was conducted, and most areas were thoroughly searched due to the powerful Wu family.

Inns, taverns, and other places were the focus of the search.

Yi Tian and his group at the Yunlong Inn had a quiet night. The next morning, over 300 people from the Yi tribe began to get busy. After eating breakfast, one by one, the beast carts loaded with supplies left the Yunlong Inn.

At the same time, after a night of searching, the Wu family narrowed down the area to a small region. Their intelligence network also played a role, quickly identifying suspicious individuals, who were the people from the Yi tribe staying at the Yunlong Inn.

As the Yi tribe's group moved forward on the street, a large number of Wu family guards intercepted them.

Yi Zhen, the deputy leader of the Yi tribe, glanced at the Wu family's guards and shouted, "Who are you, and why are you blocking the path of the Yi tribe!"

Suddenly, a path opened up among the guards, and a stern-faced man stepped forward, saying, "I am the head of the Wu family, Wu Shigong. I am here to find the attacker who harmed my son. If you are reasonable, bring out the attacker; otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

If it weren't for his fear of the Yi tribe, he would have already rushed forward to apprehend them.

Yi Zhen, the deputy leader, was puzzled and said, "How could the attacker be from our tribe? Don't accuse us falsely!"

At that moment, Manager Qi, who was beside Wu Shigong, saw the figures of Yi Tian and others in the group and whispered a few words to Wu Shigong, pointing towards Yi Tian and his group.

"It was they who attacked my son on Qinggu Street near dusk yesterday!"

Wu Shigong pointed the finger at Yi Tian and his group.

Yi Feng and others in the group felt bewildered and uneasy upon seeing this.

Yi Tian, although surprised, was not panicked.

"Yi Kai, bring them out and ask what happened."

Even the deputy leader, Yi Zhen, felt a headache.

If Yi Tian and his group were indeed the attackers, he would not be able to forcefully suppress the matter, as it would lead to a conflict with the Wu family, making their future in Black Dragon City difficult.

Yi Kai led Yi Tian and his group to the front of the group.

At the same time, Yi Zhen learned the names of Yi Tian and his group and said, "What exactly happened? The head of the Wu family claims you are the attackers. What do you have to say? If you are not, I will uphold justice for you."

The straightforward Yi Shan loudly shouted, "That third young master of the Wu family pushed Xiao Ting yesterday afternoon. Xiao Long went to protect his sister, and his servants tried to harm Xiao Long, but I stopped them. Later, to avoid trouble, we endured it. We didn't expect them to turn around and accuse us of attacking his son. The Wu family is too despicable."

Yi Shan's voice was loud, and almost half the street of onlookers heard it.

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt disdain for the third young master of the Wu family.

Deputy leader Yi Zhen was also angered and said to the head of the Wu family, "You actually tried to harm the children of the Yi tribe. If it were me, I wouldn't just beat your son; I would beat him half to death!"

"You..."

Wu Shigong was enraged by Deputy Leader Yi Zhen's words.

How could this guy be so protective? Didn't he know the trouble of provoking the Wu family?

Yi Feng, Yi Shan, and others couldn't help but laugh.

Yi Tian was also grateful to Deputy Leader Yi Zhen. Without his protection, there would have been many complications.

Yi Tian then spoke, "Deputy Leader Yi Zhen, we are not the attackers. It's likely that his son has done many evil deeds and is now facing retribution, and they are blaming us."

"The attacker must be you. How could it be such a coincidence that my son had a conflict with you and was then attacked? If you are not the attackers, who is?"

Wu Shigong said forcefully.

Deputy Leader Yi Zhen was now angry and said, "Head of the Wu family, what evidence do you have that these people from my tribe are the attackers?"

"Evidence?"

Wu Shigong was taken aback.

He realized that he had no evidence to prove that Yi Tian and his group were the attackers.

However, for the Wu family, one of the eight major families in Black Dragon City, evidence was not necessary. As long as there was suspicion, they would act.

But the current situation was difficult. The attacker was from the Yi tribe, a major force near Black Dragon City, and forcibly taking them away might not be successful.
