Inner Demons

And there were more people behind the constables—none were in uniform, wearing various outfits, but all held weapons. For example, iron chains, iron rulers, clubs, short knives, and such things. Their spirit and energy also weren't those of ordinary people; Li Yunxin realized they should be the constables' "helpers" or "associates."

The Head Constable and constables were officially employed public servants. But they couldn't handle all the city's affairs on their own, so they also kept "helpers" and "associates" who weren't on the official payroll. And most of these people weren't virtuous to begin with, which could be seen from their expressions now.

This group numbered over a hundred. Carrying torches as they walked over, they didn't say a word. There were only sounds of footsteps, the clashing of weapons, and the crackling of burning torches on the street. They quickly stopped about a dozen paces away from the dozen demons, looking at them silently in the firelight.

Li Yunxin raised an eyebrow, realizing tonight was going to be interesting.

Because this group of people wasn't speaking.

As the saying goes, a biting dog doesn't bark. If this group had come over noisily, they would likely have been hoping to use momentum to scare the other side away. But now, without saying a word, they clearly had an extremely specific purpose—perhaps their hearts were also filled with simmering rage.

Li Yunxin looked at the Wolf Daoist beside him.

He found the Wolf Demon staring intently at the situation, his nose even twitching slightly. This "twitching" wasn't "sniffing." It was the way a wild beast's nose wrinkles when it bares its upper lip to show its teeth when angry or demonstrating. Li Yunxin had seen many cats and dogs in his past life and was all too familiar with this reaction.

This meant... the Wolf Daoist also had some explosive emotions hidden in his heart, currently eager and unable to wait, even accidentally letting it show!
