I Just Wanted To Live but I Somehow Became Better Than the Protagonist

The bull demon adjutant belonged to the neutral faction. He didn’t want to offend the Kuang family and was about to suggest leniency when Ye Yong spoke up.

“This lord should think clearly, in this special period, inciting the public is an extremely vile act.”

“Ye! You are just an outsider, what right do you have to interfere with us?” “I think he is with that Long Tian’s group! Trying to persecute us in Shilin City!” The guards cursed loudly.

“Young Master Ye, I will judge this matter myself, you need not say more.” The ox demon adjutant spoke.

“So how do you plan to judge? We want to know now.” Dan Han and Dan Rong couldn’t help but reveal themselves. Although they wore veils, their eyes showed anger, very dissatisfied with the way the other party spoke to Ye Yong.

The ox demon adjutant’s face changed. Compared to Kuang Polou, who had already left the city, Dan Yu, who stayed in the city, was the one who could not be offended. Moreover, Dan Han and Dan Rong’s status was much more noble than the guards. The ox demon adjutant immediately spoke righteously, “Inciting public emotions will be dealt with by military law!”

“You can’t do this! We did nothing wrong! We are just seeking justice for Young Master Kuang Biao!”

Just as the Kuang family’s guards were defending themselves, a loud noise came from the other side of the street, followed by a burst of shouting and fighting.

“It seems there is more than one pig teammate.” Ye Yong sighed. There were still many districts around the City Lord’s Mansion, and the place he was currently in was just one of them.

“Manage the area you are responsible for.” Dan Han ordered the ox demon, “First lock up these ill-intentioned guys, and deal with them all later.”

“Yes.” The ox demon adjutant did not dare to object.

When Ye Yong and his group arrived at the junction with another district, the soldiers there had already started using force to suppress the civilians. This was a world of cultivation, a big city of the demon clan, and the civilians all had cultivation. Naturally, they were not powerless. The two sides fought together, venting their suppressed emotions.

“Boom!” Not far from the city, attacks also began to continuously hit the protective city formation. At this moment, it could be said that internal and external troubles erupted simultaneously.

“Young Master Ye, it’s not safe here. You should go to Lord Dan Yu.” Dan Han and Dan Rong knew that Kuang Polou and his men were ready, inside and out, to create chaos and start the siege.

“It’s fine, I’ll stay here. You go help quell the riot.”

“Be careful then.”

Ye Yong nodded. He stayed in place, his gaze focused on the soldiers and civilians, looking completely unguarded.

In the shadows.

“Sheng Yan is alone! This is the perfect opportunity to take him out!” The two Kuang family guards exchanged glances and made a decision. They had originally planned to follow Sheng Yan and report his movements, but now they had a chance to make a great achievement.

Their eyes gleamed with greed as they attacked together.

It should have been easy for two Golden Core stage demons to kill a young Crystal Formation stage cultivator.

But as they approached Ye Yong, they found themselves unable to move even an inch closer when they were just a few meters away.

“I thought it would be the Xuan Yang clan.” Ye Yong looked back at them. He didn’t sense that strange dangerous aura from them, and their cultivation levels were not high. Some animal traits were still retained, clearly indicating they were wolves, obviously from the Kuang family.

Ye Yong had deliberately revealed his aura earlier to correct the bull demon adjutant, partly to prevent the riot and partly to lure out the Xuan Yang clan.

But instead of sheep, he got two wolves.

“Retreat!” The Kuang family’s guards wanted to flee, but who was Ye Yong? Setting aside the system, he was a man with several storage rings, and any treasure he casually pulled out could crush the opponent to death.

The Kuang family’s guards were immobilized by a powerful force, unable to move, their demonic power stripped away, leaving them terrified.

“Although I am not the protagonist, I am not so easily manipulated.”

The Kuang family’s guards were very confused upon hearing this. What is a protagonist? If you are not the protagonist, then what are you?

This was destined to remain unexplained. Ye Yong looked at the two wolves lying on the ground, exhausted, but did not finish them off.

It wasn’t that Ye Yong was merciful, sparing the lives of those who attempted to assassinate him, but given the current situation, as an outsider, it was not appropriate for him to act. After all, there were still civilians watching. Otherwise, if he was caught, even the white could be said to be black, and he would end up in a situation like Long Tian.

However, Ye Yong did not intend to let them off easily. He bought two bottles of Truth Elixir from the system store and forced them to drink it. The two werewolves choked and struggled.

“Why do you want to kill me?” Ye Yong asked.

“Because Young Master Kuang said that the Holy Words of the Holy Sect can strengthen the city’s protective array, which would be detrimental to us weakening the formation.” The two werewolves lying on the ground were very surprised by their own words, wanting to cover their mouths, but the restraints on their bodies still existed, making it impossible to move.

“Why do you want to weaken the city’s protective array?” Ye Yong deliberately asked loudly, attracting the curiosity of the surrounding civilians.

“That is to make it easier for the allied forces outside to break in. Once the allied forces control Shilin City, kill Dan Yu and the city lord’s lineage, this city will belong to the Kuang family.”

The surrounding civilians were instantly in an uproar.

“What else did you do besides killing the Holy Word?”

“Not much else, but we were responsible for spreading unsettling rumors in the inner circle, inciting conflict between civilians and soldiers, and trying to draw away as much of the middle circle’s forces as possible.”

“One last question.” Ye Yong looked at the civilians gathering around, a slight smile on his lips: “The Kuang family plans to betray Shilin City, right?”

The two guards bit their lips hard, trying not to speak, but they couldn’t resist and uttered one word: “Yes.”

Hearing the commotion, the bull demon adjutant hurried over and was shocked by what he heard. He glanced at Ye Yong a few more times. If it weren’t for this person intervening just now, he might have already helped the enemy.

“After your Kuang family takes over Shilin City, what about us ordinary residents? Are we just shields to divert the soldiers who are supposed to protect us?” The civilians were all filled with righteous indignation and anger. They had originally thought the Kuang family guards were simply seeking justice for their young master and had no choice but to resort to such measures. Now it seemed their intentions were truly sinister.

Suddenly, a demon rushed out and kicked them. Soon, more and more followed suit, and before long, the two werewolves were trampled to the brink of death.

“Enough.” The bull demon adjutant grabbed them: “Traitors will be dealt with by military law. Remember not to believe rumors. Stay here and wait for the war to end.”

The civilians responded in agreement, wanting to thank the human who exposed the Kuang family’s treacherous intentions, but found that he had already disappeared.

Although Dan Han and Dan Rong assisted, there were simply too many civilians gathered in the inner circle. Some of them were naturally rebellious and feared chaos in the world. Now, incited, they became even more reckless, rushing to attack the noble’s residences. How could the nobles tolerate this? To them, it was already a blessing that the civilians didn’t charge into traps and stayed safe at home. Now they dared to rebel?

Immediately, some nobles from the middle circle led soldiers to the inner circle, vowing to clear out these troublemakers.

The inner circle was already in chaos, and the forces in the middle circle had also been reduced. Kuang Polou felt it was about time. With a single command, several key points maintaining the city’s protective formation began to show problems one after another.
