Chapter 320 - crescent cityAfter daybreak, the wolf cub began to approach the place where there was smoke coming from. Not long after, a small city appeared in front of them. This small city was about the same size as the Source Spirit City"s Acropolis City, Yuanyang City, and it was considered to be a smaller city than the Source Spirit City. The strongest amongst them should be around the Heavenly Core.
did not plan to let Ling Xi and the little wolf enter as she did not know if there were any royal bounties in the small city. Outside the city gates, Long Chen hid them within a secluded forest. After explaining for a while, he arrived in front of the city gates of the small city.However, all of these were not important to Long Chen. When he saw that the guards at the city gate had actually become much stricter, he was already shocked in his heart, but he did not immediately enter the city. Instead, he focused on listening to the conversation of the Guard in the city gate from afar.
"With such a huge commotion, where did that Long Chen guy run off to? The entire Canyang Kingdom is trapped in an inescapable trap. I heard that there"s a woman beside him who doesn"t have any cultivation, so her speed won"t be too fast. Why is there no news about her at all? "
"I"m afraid he"s trying to escape. This Long Chen"s reputation was blown up this time, he actually dared to kill the Ninth Prince. His guts are simply too big."
"Flee?" From what the commander said, this time, the imperial city had sent many people, and it seems like most of them were headed towards the west. How could this unknown brat, Long Chen, escape through such a tight encirclement? ""It would be a good thing if we were caught earlier. We don"t have to stay here and watch every day. If we"re not serious, we"ll be scolded."
Their conversation caused Long Chen"s heart to feel much heavier. Sure enough, the royal family had caught up.
These few days, Long Chen had fully recovered his strength and the divine fire clone s had also been prepared. Although the wolf cub was temporarily unable to use the Nether Demon Ancestral Fire, because of the nine Flame Essence, his strength had reached the fifth rank Earth Realm, which was very extraordinary. However, this kind of strength was akin to an egg striking a rock when faced with a powerful person from the imperial family.
His heart felt heavy.
However, Long Chen was not one to easily give up. Since he knew that the royalty had already caught up, he could just put up a resistance. Long Chen was currently unable to enter the gates of the crescent city, but how could the strongest expert possibly stop him in her small city? Slightly moving to the side of the city walls, Long Chen directly jumped into the crescent city.
It was early in the morning, and the streets were bustling with activity. Long Chen then took out his own cape and covered his face. There were a lot of people these days who didn"t want to reveal their ident.i.ties, so he didn"t appear out of the blue.In the middle of crescent city, Long Chen used the remaining divine jade s in Source Spirit City and bought a lot of daily necessities that mortals use. No matter whether he lived here or lived here, at least in terms of clothes and food, he had well-prepared for Ling Xi.
"Boss, do you have a map to sell the Canyang Kingdom here?" After paying the bill, Long Chen kept all the items he bought into his Qiankun bag and then casually asked a question.
The owner of this shop was a stout middle-aged man. The outline of his body was similar to Source Spirit City"s Alliance Master Li Wudi, but his strength was merely at Dragon-Meridian Realm.It could be seen that Long Chen was definitely an expert, so the middle-aged man was trembling with fear, worried that he would not be able to serve Long Chen well. Since Long Chen needed something, he thought for a moment before quickly nodding and bowing: "Sorry, our shop did not buy any maps. "However."
"But what?" Long Chen followed up with what he said and asked.
"I do have one in private. If the lord is willing, I will give you one in private. After all, you have bought quite a few things from me." The fat boss smiled and left.
"Thank you very much."
After obtaining the map from the owner of the shop, Long Chen then left. When his figure disappeared outside the door, the owner of the shop was already covered in cold sweat. He trembled as he looked in the direction Long Chen had left in, and said with some excitement, "A million divine jade s are about to reach my hands?"
After exiting the crescent city, Long Chen headed towards the mountain forest at his fastest speed. His memory was not bad, and he also had the Spirit Devouring Demon Pupil s, which could only see souls in demon"s eyes. It was very easy to find Ling Xi and the rest. However, what made his heart filled with killing intent was that there were actually quite a few bandits who had surrounded the Little Wolf and Ling Xi, and had yet to make a move.At this time, the wolf cub had yet to turn into a battle state. The surrounding bandits only had the strength of Earth Core Stage at most, and did not even have the right to fill the gaps in the wolf cub"s teeth. Therefore, the wolf cub didn"t pay much attention to them. After they chattered for a while and revealed a bit more information, he would make his move.
"This woman is really beautiful. I"ve seen countless women in my life, but I"ve never seen such a beautiful woman before!"
In the group of bandits, most of them sighed with emotion. However, when they saw the wolf cub, they remembered the shocking news of that one million divine jade s.
Long Chen had killed the Ninth Prince and fled for his life. The imperial family had ordered, whoever found traces of them in the Canyang Kingdom would be rewarded with a million divine jade. In the crescent city, a million divine jade, that was a property that even the strongest warriors of the crescent city had difficulty possessing. It could also let a group of bandits live for countless of years.
"Big brother, a peerless young lady and a black little wolf, aren"t these the people who killed the Ninth Prince? There"s still the main culprit, Long Chen doesn"t seem to have appeared, right? "
Everyone thought of this, and their hearts were naturally filled with excitement. Only the bandit leader suddenly frowned and shouted, "We will split up and flee, quickly!"
His mind was spinning very quickly. To be able to kill a super existence like the Ninth Prince, how could his battle prowess be simple? A bunch of bandits from a small place like theirs didn"t even have the right to fill the gaps in someone else"s teeth.
Just as the bandit leader finished his sentence, a series of screams came from behind him. When he turned around, he could only see a blurry shadow moving at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye. Wherever he went, the bandits would all die, and none of them could withstand a casual punch from that person!
In less than five breaths" time, over a hundred bandits had all fallen to the ground. This showed just how fast that person was. Seeing this scene, the bandit leader"s mind went blank, because this meant that the foundation that he had worked so hard to build up was now completely destroyed! Years of hard work had all gone down the drain!
However, this was not all. In front of Long Chen, he was no different from any other bandits. Under the situation where he was completely unable to resist, Long Chen smashed his fist into his abdomen, causing the clothes on his back to be instantly torn apart. His internal organs were all broken under Long Chen"s punch, and the bandit leader was immediately killed beyond dead.Gently pus.h.i.+ng aside his corpse, Long Chen arrived in front of Ling Xi. The matter was settled, and after obtaining a lot of information, it was already useless to stay here.
"I"m worried that they would leak out the news and have already killed them all. Right now, the entire Canyang Kingdom is after us, so we have to be even more careful, let"s go now. Little Wolf, you just stay like this, I"ll carry Ling Xi on my back and quickly head out into the wilderness.
After giving out his instructions, Long Chen didn"t hesitate at all. He turned around and said to Ling Xi: "Xiao Xi, come up, I"ll carry you.""Huh?" Although she usually stayed in Long Chen"s embrace no less, this was the first time she had let Long Chen carry her, so for a moment, Ling Xi felt a little unnatural.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up." Long Chen turned, and said with a frown.
Ling Xi was a little restrained. She had just finished preparing, so Long Chen immediately turned his hand to protect her legs, and carried her on his back.
"Let"s go." After saying that to the little wolf, he started to move towards the direction of the wilderness. From the map he just obtained, there would be a vast wilderness forest on the left side of crescent city. As long as they entered this mountain wilderness, they would be safer.
The wolf cub"s body was small, but it didn"t affect his speed. The two of them and the wolf quickly disappeared from the forest. At this time, the sun slowly rose.
It had to be said that after carrying Ling Xi, what Long Chen felt was not a burden, but a comfortable one. Ling Xi"s body was soft as she obediently lied down on Long Chen"s back. Both of her hands were wrapped around Long Chen"s neck, and the soft flesh of her chest, which had a certain scale, lightly touched Long Chen"s back, making him feel extremely refreshed after being kissed by his skin. Even though he was facing a great enemy, he did not forget to take advantage of Ling Xi a few more times.
What made Long Chen feel the most was that, because it was a body made of Herba Euphorbiae, there was a strong fragrance of lotus on Ling Xi"s body. It was light, elegant, and fresh.
As for Ling Xi, she was already being held tightly onto her back by Long Chen, so it was very difficult for her to even move, yet the only way she could do so was to hug Long Chen tightly as she was told to move. This peculiar feeling finally caused her pale face to regain some color.
"Mn …" Ling Xi moaned softly, her face slightly flushed red, because Long Chen"s hand had already climbed up her little b.u.t.t and grabbed it. Ling Xi felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and this kind of feeling, which she had never experienced before, caused her to feel a little lost.
"Scoundrel." After Long Chen had already thwarted her, Ling Xi felt a little bit of humiliation. He stretched out his pure white neck and used his white teeth to lightly bite Long Chen"s ear, then immediately shrank back.
"What"s wrong, Ling Xi?" Long Chen"s expression was deep as he asked casually."I will bite off your ear and make you carry me for the rest of your life. Remember me." Ling Xi whispered into his ear.
"I can now remember you for the rest of your life. I don"t need to bite your ear anymore." Long Chen acted as though he was afraid.
"Maybe." Ling Xi was confused about the future.
