However, he would be happy to see internal strife break out in Canglong City, preferably a civil war.
That would be a huge benefit for bounty hunters like them.
It would even greatly benefit the entire city of New Testament.
After all, in the event of a civil war, having more strength means having a greater chance of winning.
The bounty hunters of New Testament City are paid for what they receive; every bit of effort they put in is considerable, and they are sure to make a fortune.
It seems they've reconciled now?
Andes felt a little regretful.
"Hmph, if it weren't for me doing my best to hold off the demon legion, they would have already breached the inner city." Andes stepped forward. "I am a great hero of Azure Dragon City."
"As the leader of the Human Alliance, Azure Dragon City shouldn't treat its heroes unfairly. I think we need to reconsider the price we agreed on earlier."
Andy stopped Xue Yingsong and the others, revealing a smile.
"catch him!"
Xue Yingsong completely ignored Andes's meaning and spoke directly to Xiao Chaofeng beside him.
Andes' expression changed drastically: "Xue Yingsong, what do you mean? Does your Azure Dragon City intend to go back on its word? If it weren't for me, your Azure Dragon City's inner city would have been in ruins long ago. Are you trying to steal my payment? If you do that, Azure Dragon City's reputation in the Human Alliance will be ruined!"
Xue Yingsong said calmly, "It seems you don't know what just happened in Canglong City. The ruling center that hired you has been temporarily disbanded. Canglong City is now temporarily under the control of a temporary special committee. The seven permanent members of the original ruling center's permanent council have been executed for resisting the decision of the temporary special committee."
Andes was shocked.
Canglong City has been completely transformed?
His former employers have all been killed?
No, that's not right. The person who hired him was hired by the ruling center.
The ruling center is the official institution of Canglong City. As long as Canglong City still recognizes the legitimacy of the ruling center, they must also recognize this employment fee.
Thinking of this, Andes' expression gradually turned angry.
He decided to put some pressure on this temporary special committee and absolutely not let them embezzle his employment fees.
"I don't care who takes over Azure Dragon City. Whoever does, they must pay me back my wages, and double them! Without me, Azure Dragon City's inner city would have been breached by the Abyss Demons long ago!"
"How many of your inner city's people will die in the end? Hmph, and I'm warning you, I'm an S-rank bounty hunter from New Covenant City! I advise you to think about the consequences of causing conflict between Azure Dragon City and New Covenant City! This is not something Azure Dragon City can afford!"
Andy's words caused the faces of the people around Xue Yingsong to change, and their gazes toward Andy became filled with indignation.
This bounty hunter is so arrogant!
Xue Yingsong said coldly, "Are you finished? If you are, then I should talk about the crimes you committed in Canglong City. In your three years in Canglong City, you participated in three assassination attempts, almost one per year. As a result, eighteen people have died because of you, including fifteen ordinary citizens of Canglong City whom you killed casually."
"I am now arresting you in the name of the Provisional Special Committee of Azure Dragon City. You must accept the investigation of Azure Dragon City. If you resist arrest, you will bear the consequences."
Andes' momentum faltered slightly.
But then he sneered, "What evidence do you have to prove that I killed those people you're talking about? In your Canglong City's words, 'If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext.' I think you're clearly trying to embezzle my wages. I never thought that the mighty Canglong City couldn't even afford to pay a mere wage payment?"
He was aware of the laws of Canglong City; the protection afforded to those useless people without martial arts skills or supernatural abilities had reached an absurd level.
Even a rare S-class superhuman like him is subject to such regulations: killing three innocent lives will result in expulsion, killing five innocent lives will result in conviction, and killing eight innocent lives will result in death.
What a joke!
This is unimaginable for other major cities of the Human Alliance, especially New Covenant City.
No matter which city, S-class superpowered individuals and martial arts masters are completely superior to those who have no talent for cultivation.
No matter how many people were killed, there were no laws for conviction, let alone any death penalty.
However, Azure Dragon City is a place that values evidence.
He believed he had done everything cleanly and there was no way he could have left any evidence against him.
Xue Yingsong looked at him and said, "Do you think you've covered your tracks perfectly? If you look closely, there will always be traces. Especially considering the various strange abilities within the Human Alliance, which you can't even imagine, if there really is no evidence, how would I know how many people you've killed, how many innocent lives you've taken?"
"Besides, I know you hate Azure Dragon City. The reason you're still staying in Azure Dragon City is because of the New Testament City Bounty Hunter Headquarters' requirements, right?"
Andy's expression changed drastically after hearing what Xue Yingsong said.
"Hey kid, don't say I won unfairly. Since you just suffered a minor injury, I can give you a handicap."
Xiao Chaofeng took a step forward and beckoned to Andes with his finger.
Andes remained silent for a moment, but instead of fighting Xiao Chaofeng, he turned and ran away.
He understood that if he were captured by the people of Canglong City, he would be at their mercy to be "slandered".
Therefore, he had to flee back to New Testament City and use its channels to speak out, fiercely criticizing Azure Dragon City for its betrayal and baseless accusations.
"Damn, you're pretty fast. Do you think a non-speed-based superhuman like you can outrun a martial arts master like me?"
Xiao Chaofeng immediately gave chase.
Quite coincidentally, Andes' escape route was exactly the same as Gu Ran's.
Looking at Gu Ran, who showed no signs of spiritual energy, Andes's face revealed a cruel expression. He didn't even tell Gu Ran to move aside; he simply waved his hand casually.
A shard of ice shot towards Gu Ran.
It was as nonchalant as if he had only killed an ant.

Gu Ran's body, which showed no fluctuations of spiritual energy, was extremely deceptive.
If you didn't know anything about Gu Ran, you could easily be fooled by him.
Faced with the icicles being shot at him, Gu Ran didn't even move, letting them hit his chest.
The icicle shattered into a pile of fragments and fell to the ground.
Andes' eyelids twitched; he knew he had misjudged this guy.
However, he still didn't really take Gu Ran seriously, after all, he was a dignified S-class bounty hunter who had single-handedly stopped the demon army of the Abyss.
Who is this guy in front of me?
Even if someone is incredibly skilled, could they possibly be more skilled than him?
As one of the few S-rank bounty hunters in Azure Dragon City, Andis has his own pride.
"Ice gun!"
Seeing that Gu Ran was blocking his way and wouldn't move aside, a sharp ice crystal spear immediately materialized in front of Andes.
The ice crystal spear moved like a bullet, striking Gu Ran's chest almost the instant it appeared.
However, just like the previous icicle, it shattered and fell to the ground immediately after hitting Gu Ran's chest.
Andes's confident gaze suddenly changed, and his pupils dilated slightly.
"Alright, it's my turn now."
Seeing Andy delivered to him, Gu Ran said something indifferently, then swung his fist and smashed it into Andy's face.

Gu Ran smashed Andy's nose, and his once handsome face was completely sunken in.
At the same time, Andes' body flew backward in a parabola.
Blood flew.
If Gu Ran hadn't held back, Andis's head might have been smashed to pieces.
Such severe injuries could only be healed by certain individuals with extraordinary medical abilities.
For someone like Andis, with his ice-type superpowers, relying on the superpower crystal core in his heart can only prolong his life, but he will eventually die.
Looking at the bloodstains on his fist, Gu Ran shook it off, feeling slightly disgusted.
Using physical strength for close combat is not as elegant as using spatial abilities.
But it does feel really good to throw a punch, no wonder so many people like to be boxers.
Xiao Chaofeng grabbed Andis by the collar and roughly checked his condition. He found that Andis was still alive, but seriously injured and unconscious. His supernatural crystal core was frantically repairing his injuries.
So Xiao Chaofeng left Andes with the people behind him and walked over to Gu Ran to exchange pleasantries.
"Hey, Brother Leng Ran, you've really been hiding your true strength. It seems your power has far surpassed mine." Xiao Chaofeng looked at Gu Ran with a look of admiration. "I can't knock this guy out of the fight with one punch."
"Oh, not at all, I just have a bit of brute strength." Gu Ran smiled. "If that guy hadn't underestimated me, I wouldn't have been so reckless."
"Alright, that old guy called you over, I guess you two have a lot to talk about, so I won't disturb you, I'll go do my own work."
Xiao Chaofeng waved his hand and walked away, as if he really was just a messenger.
People at the scene have already started directing the cleanup of the debris.
Xue Yingsong stood there alone, seemingly waiting for him.
Gu Ran walked over.
"Did you win?" Xue Yingsong asked with a smile.
"We won," Gu Ran replied.
