Chapter 290 - The City Gate Incident
After bidding farewell to the citizens of the Goldfish Island, Long Chen took Ling Xi and the little wolf and stepped onto the road that led to the Biyang Royal City. In front of this huge city, Long Chen was like a tiny ant, or a small stone thrown into the ocean.As he sat on the wolf cub"s back with Ling Xi, the wolf cub"s speed was extremely quick. Before long, Long Chen had already seen the city lying across the horizon from afar. This enormous city looked to be at least ten times bigger than the Source Spirit City.
It was this city that separated the heaven and earth.
The closer they got, the larger and larger the city became. In front of this enormous monster, Long Chen was no different from an ant.
In front of this huge city, there were many people riding demon beasts, but the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf was a little special, because she was worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble, Long Chen made the little wolf withdraw from her fighting state and followed behind him. As for Ling Xi"s peerless beauty, it would also make Long Chen look especially bad, thus she took out his cape and let Ling Xi bring it."As long as we enter the city and find the Ninth Prince, there shouldn"t be any unnecessary troubles." Long Chen thought.
Since the Ninth Prince was not here, he did not have any status in the Biyang Royal City. Although Long Chen could not see through the Ninth Prince, and estimated that he would not sincerely make friends with Long Chen, Long Chen still had to rely on him to enter the Inverse Wonderland.
Only after he made sufficient preparations did Long Chen begin the process.This was the southern gate of the Biyang Royal City, although it was not the largest city gate, but its size was still something the Source Spirit City could not compare to. From all directions, people came and went into the city and left, Long Chen stood on one of the wide public roads and walked forward, looking ahead, there were no less than ten public roads, and the closer they got to the Biyang Royal City, the more human and beasts" property they had.
Holding Ling Xi"s hand, Long Chen followed the crowd and almost reached the city gate. As long as he pa.s.sed through this gate, he would think of a way to determine the Ninth Prince"s whereabouts.
"You two, stop!" Just at this time, one of the guards called out to Long Chen and his group.Outside of the Biyang Royal City stood rows upon rows of soldiers, all looking to be over a thousand soldiers. Judging from the appearance of the person speaking, he should be a small officer like the centurion, with a fierce-looking face, thick muscles and black stubble covering half of her face.
"I wonder what is the matter, my lord?" Long Chen pulled Ling Xi to his side, and with an indifferent expression, he looked at the little officer who stopped him and asked.
"This woman is wearing a cloak. There must be something that cannot be revealed. I have to check it before I can let her in!" The officer saw that Long Chen was just a yellow haired boy, after saying that, he immediately stepped forward, and without caring if Long Chen agreed or not, he directly lifted Ling Xi"s cloak.Long Chen protected Ling Xi next to him, and looked at the officer with his sharp eyes. He did not want to fight with the officer, but since the officer was so aggressive, he had no choice but to fight back.
"What are you doing?" "And rebellion?" Seeing that Long Chen actually dared to disobey, the officer looked at Long Chen in surprise, his tone gradually becoming colder.
"Lord, you"re being too serious. From what I see, there are a lot of people who don"t reveal their true colors. Why are they only targeting us?" Long Chen said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
These city guards had at least the strength of Divine Pill Realm. Although this little officer"s rank wasn"t high, he still had the strength of Heavenly Core. Furthermore, behind them was the entire Biyang Royal City"s army. It was really unwise for Long Chen to clash with him, but he was also not someone to be easily bullied.
At this moment, many people had already seen the conflict. Some people who loved to watch the commotion did not bother entering the city and started pointing.
In fact, there was a reason why this officer was targeting him. Although Ling Xi was wearing a cape, he was curvaceous. Judging from the contours of the cape, he must be a rare beauty. Seeing that, the officer was moved, and then he spoke to stop Long Chen. All for the sake of giving Long Chen a hat, and then openly abducting Ling Xi.
This wasn"t the first time they had done this.
Of course, it was not the first time for the people who stayed in Biyang Royal City to see these officers acting so recklessly. They could guess that the reason for Long Chen"s death was because he had been killed, his corpse buried, and Ling Xi had become a toy of the officers. If he was really too beautiful, he would have been offered to the higher ups by these young officers. In this way, officers could be rewarded, or even promoted.
Within the imperial city, even if it were the three great families, they would still be running errands for the imperial family. As for the army of the Biyang Royal City, they were the direct descendant of the imperial family, so if one did not have enough power and backing, who would dare to mess with these tyrannical soldiers?
Long Chen was not an idiot. He could differentiate the rules just by thinking about it. The army belonged to the imperial family, but Long Chen was still the fairyland G.o.dly guard that the Ninth Prince had personally recruited. Why should he be afraid of these people?
At this time, the black-bearded officer saw that Long Chen, this rash youth, actually did not understand. He originally wanted to give this brat a way out, but he did not expect Long Chen to court death. He sneered and called out to everyone: "Men, I have already investigated thoroughly, this man is a disciple of the Demonic Palace.
"Yes, centurion!"
With his words, the soldiers who were ready to move immediately shouted and charged towards Long Chen. To help the centurion in this matter, they would also be able to obtain benefits.
The centurion had over a hundred soldiers under his command, and these hundred soldiers were currently surrounding Long Chen. With so many Divine Pill Realm, the combination of all of them was not a small amount of strength.
Without saying a word, Long Chen let Ling Xi stay where he was, protected by the little wolf by his side, and then, like a sword, he stabbed straight into the crowd.
"They actually dare to attack?" The bearded officer laughed and was just about to watch Long Chen make a fool of himself, but when he saw the soldiers fall one by one screaming in pain, his smile froze.
A hundred soldiers fell to the ground in less than a quarter of an hour. Not only the officer, even the others were stunned by what they saw, as they started to re-evaluate Long Chen.
"So this young man actually has some guts and strength. I guess he also has some background." However, if he provoked the Imperial Guard Army this time, he would probably suffer greatly. In this day and age, you can"t fight with the Guard of the Imperial City no matter who you fight with. "
"That"s true. Last time, there was a Milky Way Realm warrior who fought with the Imperial Guard Army here. Wasn"t he directly killed by the Guard"s commander?"
Long Chen knew that in this Biyang Royal City, Milky Way Realm was the highest level of power and it might even have power above the Milky Way Realm. However, there were also quite a few warriors with Divine Pill Realm.
There were simply too many people in the Biyang Royal City, almost ten times the number of people in the Source Spirit City. Furthermore, this place was where the experts from the Canyang Kingdom gathered.He realized that Long Chen"s fighting strength had surpa.s.sed his, but he was not afraid. No matter how strong he was, many of them died to him, so he quickly took out a horn and blew it fiercely. A wave of a desolate voice immediately rushed up to Yun Xiao.
"Should I call out the bigger officials?" This suited Long Chen"s intentions, but, the reason Long Chen dared to take action, was because he wanted to shout out the existence of a higher level. However, this fellow had caused him so much trouble, and it seemed as though he had harmed quite a few people.
His eyes turned cold. When the other party had blown the horn, Long Chen had directly used a Spirit Devil Sword Finger to stab through his chest.
The horn fell to the ground.He wanted to know whether the person who killed him was Long Chen or not, but he did not have that chance. He did not even have the chance to see Long Chen"s shadow, and had already collapsed onto the ground, stirring up a thick cloud of smoke and dust.
He never thought that Long Chen would actually dare to kill him in this place. He had done many things like this today, but most of them had been successful. Even if he hadn"t succeeded, the commanders that had taken advantage of him would have protected him. But this time, even before the commander was called out, he was already done for.
Long Chen had injured Guard, but not killed him. Everyone thought that he was someone who knew his limits, but after that, Long Chen had directly killed the Hu Chi with his own words, shocking everyone.As far as they were concerned, daring to a.s.sault and slay an officer of the Imperial City at the entrance to the Imperial City was no different from a crime of conspiracy. Like this, even if Long Chen had a huge power behind him, no matter how strong he was, he would still die.
Basically, everyone in the city was looking at the young man who still had an indifferent expression even though he had killed someone.
With his death, the other centurion s realised the importance of the situation and immediately gathered their men to surround Long Chen and Ling Xi. However, the real leader had not come, so they did not dare take action.
Over a thousand city guards stared at Long Chen like tigers stalking their prey.
Right at this moment, a shadow rapidly descended from above the city wall. With a loud bang, the shadow fell to the ground, landing on both legs before steadily coming to a stop.
This was a middle-aged martial artist. He wore a thick set of armor and wore s.h.i.+ny black military boots. This man was handsome and quite charming.
"This subordinate pays his respects to Lord Seventh Commander!"Thousands of soldiers knelt before him.
"What happened?" This Seventh Commander"s gaze turned between Long Chen and the bearded officer. What happened here had already affected the flow of traffic within and out of the Imperial City, so he had to swiftly resolve it.
Returning to the Seventh Commander, this man is a disciple of Demonic Palace that Liu Heng had found out, Liu Heng originally wanted to take him down, but was killed by him instead.
