The identity of Jushu Academy and being involved in the incident made the arrest process smooth.
The defendant, the defendant's lawyer, and even the trial judge were all suspected and searched. While the city guards were searching the jury, news came from the police station: the defendant's lawyer died from a curse while being escorted.
They accidentally come into contact with the dark side of Midnight City.
Claire's mission ended here, and the subsequent developments were no longer related to Lu Li and Claire. When the Knights intervened and the sluggish city guard and police chief were quickly investigated, it was only a matter of time before the roots were pulled out.
"It won't be long, just a bunch of shady rats.
Claire's identity means that she doesn't have to worry about pressure from the top. As for Lu Li? He should feel lucky that he doesn't pursue those rats.
"Let's go back and wait for news."
Claire stretched and untied the broken bandage in circles, revealing dark red runes surging with some strange power, which were obscured by the re-wound bandage.
On their way back, they passed the King's Road, and when they approached the intersection, they found that the street was cordoned off, preventing people from passing through.
Claire tightened and relaxed her hand on the bandage. The martial law was not for them. The entire King's Road was temporarily blocked.
She looked towards Central City: "Midnight Church or royal family trip?"
Soon, Claire got the answer from the whispers of the surrounding people: the Bloodline Family Alliance, one of the participating camps in the Top Ten Tournament, arrived in Midnight City.
At the end of the line of sight, toward the outer city, a row of motorcades was slowly approaching.
Brown and red horses drove up carrying a luxurious carriage with the family emblem engraved on it. Compared to the carriage itself and the invisible presence inside, the purebred, uncontaminated horses aroused more people's amazement.
Breeding pure horses is time-consuming, meaningless and expensive, but it is indeed like the behavior of a bloodline family that maintains true aristocracy.
As the knights and carriages pass by, the public's attention will fall on the silhouette of the horse in the convoy.
These young nobles have a proud and elegant posture, are well-dressed, and have handsome faces. They should be the contestants of the Bloodline Family Alliance.
As the impressive family emblems passed by one after another, as they approached the end of the motorcade, Claire beside her suddenly tensed up.
At the same time, Lu Li felt an indescribable feeling of nausea.
"Unleash the cursed title! Attack the exorcist...do not know whether to live or die."
The tail sound floated in the air and was shattered by the explosion. Claire, who turned into an afterimage, rushed into the convoy, and the city guards under martial law were knocked away and rolled like pieces of paper.
The shadow of the fist fell, and the strong wind carried the cloak open, revealing a horrified face with residual resentment.
bang
The mount's whine suddenly stopped, and the figure's legs turned into fleshy flesh that was indistinguishable from each other, splattering on the road, walls and the armor of the city guards.
"Who are you...!?"
The young man who lost his legs fell into the bloody mud like graffiti, gritted his teeth and roared, trying to impose a blood curse like a trapped animal, and then suddenly saw the glimmering sapling emerging behind the silhouette of the approaching black robe.
"Controller!" The fearful young man froze.
More importantly, he remembered Claire's cold drink when she rushed over.
The Exorcist…
"Despite the curse, you will definitely die first."
Claire whispered coldly, her beast-like pupils staring at the young man who remained in a pool of blood.
Pure power is unsolvable to some extent, but unfortunately its advantages and disadvantages are equally significant.
In the face of rituals, pollution, curses and other strange things, this power is almost no different from ordinary people, but Claire's alchemist mother makes up for its shortcomings.
But when he knew who the enemy was, the young man no longer wanted to fight back, and waited with his pale face enduring the severe pain.
Da da da
A snow-white stallion without any mottled color entered the conflict.
"Exorcist... Lu Li, right?" The quiet Alexis Mengsk looked down at Lu Li: "I have long admired your name. I am Alexis Mengsk, the son of the current patriarch of the Mengsk family."
The convoy in front continued to move forward, and the convoy behind was forced to stop, and some eyes fell. Compared with the "shock" and "admiration" of the people and city guards behind, these eyes were full of mockery, appreciation, indifference, and interest.
.
Alexis Mengsk turned to look at Claire, recognizing her identity from this pure power: "The daughter of the dragon... why would she harm members of the Mengsk family?"
"You should ask your family members what they did."
"Saoud."
Alexis Mengsk tilted his head slightly.
The young man with the broken leg was so painful that he was dripping with sweat. His lips trembled: "They ruined my business... They left a breath behind. I didn't know it was Lu Li and the dragon's daughter."
"It seems it's your fault..." Alexis Mengsk looked at Lu Li and Claire again, his quiet eyes scanning the fading saplings behind Lu Li and the buds emerging from the gaps in the stone road.
"The Mengsk family will not shield criminals, we will punish Saud"
"Want to take away the human traitors who attacked the exorcists?" Claire interrupted rudely. She had dealt with the Bloodline Family a lot when she was young, and she knew what they wanted to maintain the dignity of the Bloodline Family.
All punishment outside the family is lynching and an affront to the dignity of the family.
But this time it was different. The person standing on the opposite side was Lu Li, the daughter of Chris.
After a brief silence, Alexis Mengsk showed a gentle smile: "Then how about leaving it to the Knights? I think they will make a fair decision."
Claire looked at Lu Li and nodded gently: "Okay."
The knights of the Knights of Honor who rushed to the surrounding area to wait for the result were able to approach and treat Saud, who was unconscious due to lack of blood.
Alexis Mengsk allowed the knights to take away Saud, who had become a shame to the family, and stared at Lu Li with his dark blue eyes.
"Exorcist, see you in March for the championship."
The young nobleman gracefully pulled up the reins and returned to the front to lead the family motorcade forward.
"The stupid family that relies on its nobility," Claire called the convoy that was gradually retreating: "They are like moths, they never take responsibility, they just feed endlessly."
But this idea is full of bias. Bloodline families are always on the front line against weirdness.
Although their pride is really annoying.
"Even in their eyes, you are just a nouveau riche. It's ridiculous, right?" Claire grew up listening to the legend of Lu Li. Lu Li's reputation in the blood family is obviously not as admired by the public.
"I thought the ancient bloodline families would have basic etiquette." Lu Li looked away, his eyes slightly lowered, and fell towards the street covered in blood-colored coats.
"Well, these guys are not all bad people." Claire shrugged, followed Lu Li's gaze and saw the extended bloody ruts left by the passing carriage: "What did you find?"
