The Indomitable Master of Elixirs Chapter 615 - Strike When There Is a Need to Strike (1)

Lu Shaoqing shook his head. “There has been no news from Song Yuan’s side. The citizens have already been creating a ruckus for half a day. It appears that Song Yuan has no intention of intervening.”

Ji Fengyan nodded. She suddenly stood up. Linghe and Lu Shaoqing immediately focused their attention on her.

“How is General going to handle this matter?” Lu Shaoqing looked seriously at Ji Fengyan. He knew for sure now that the deaths of all those citizens were definitely connected to Song Yuan. But he still had to depend on Ji Fengyan to see how she would manage this situation.

If not handled properly, it would incite even more unhappiness among the citizens of Ping City, which would be detrimental to them.

Ji Fengyan gave a brief smile and headed outside without another word.

Quite a number of soldiers from the Wolf Smoke Regiment had gathered in Ji Fengyan’s yard. They had rushed over after being attacked by the citizens. Almost every one of them had bruises on their heads, with fresh blood still oozing from their wounds.

The group of soldiers perked up on seeing Ji Fengyan.

“General.”

Their low voices revealed their despondent state.

They never expected that their first injuries after enlisting were not caused by demons, but by the very citizens they were supposed to protect.

This situation made some newly joined rookies feel utterly demoralized.

“Did you retaliate?” Ji Fengyan surveyed her bruised soldiers.

The soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads dejectedly.

“General, we made no moves against them. We just wanted to explain ourselves that we didn’t do any of those things. But they refused to listen, and just struck anyone on sight.” One of the young rookies held his bleeding head as he spoke up.

Ji Fengyan patted his shoulder before walking towards the door. The Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers watched her movements and followed her lead.

A barrage of banging sounds resonated against the tightly shut door. The people on the street were taking out all their fears and unease on them.

Ji Fengyan showed for Linghe to open the door. After hesitating a moment, he slowly opened it.

The door had just been pushed open a crack before a few rocks came flying in.

“General, be careful!” Lu Shaoqing blanched as he hurriedly reached out to block Ji Fengyan.

Ji Fengyan raised a hand to interrupt Lu Shaoqing, before kicking open the door.

The door slammed open and the citizens standing upon the rooftop became even more agitated when they saw someone walking out. In a fit of rage, they started throwing many objects toward Ji Fengyan!

The soldiers standing by the side went red with anger.

However…

Ji Fengyan’s eyes hardened as she looked at the incoming rocks.

At that moment, a glow enveloped Ji Fengyan’s body, which stopped those flying rocks. It was as if the rocks had hit an invisible wall and all fell clattering onto the ground. None of them even came within an inch of Ji Fengyan’s clothes.

The citizens stared with disbelief at the scene. Just as they were preparing to hurl even more rocks, Ji Fengyan cast a sweeping glance at them.

Every single person caught by her gaze was involuntarily halted in their actions as a tingling sensation ran down their spines.
