Chapter 518: Special Status
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Each of the soldiers in the two rows possessed a strength comparable to that of great flux experts. Frankly speaking, this troop was truly a little bit exaggerated.
It has to be known that among the human powers, regardless of which tier of power it was, fifth or higher ranked flux experts were considered as core disciples. But here, they were simple guards.
With five hundred oxen strength, G.o.d only knew what terrifying impact force these people would produce with their hatchets.
Seeing all those soldiers arranged by the gate, Li Yunmu understood why human powers were apprehensive toward Pangu who possessed a population of some forty millions.
After the guard’s question, Li Yunmu and w.a.n.g Ren took out their ident.i.ty tiles.
When Pangu soldier looked at w.a.n.g Ren’s ident.i.ty tile, the tense expression on its face instantly relaxed.
It was especially obvious when he realized that w.a.n.g Ren wasn’t only a completely innocent ordinary human, but also a scholar who had previously engaged in teaching. A hint of rare respect appeared on the face of the large soldier.
“Teacher, have you come to take permanent residence in our Pangu City? We greatly desire for people like teacher to come and settle here. If you decide to do so, we would even provide teacher with a generous allowance. Moreover, teacher would never need to worry about his security,” the leader of Pangu City’s guards suddenly said in an extremely cordial tone as if trying to curry favor with him.
When Li Yunmu heard about the benefits and privileges offered to w.a.n.g Ren from the mouth of the crude soldier, he felt like he was in the company of a unicorn.
What the actual f*ck.
An ordinary teacher could surprisingly receive such great privileges after coming to Pangu City.
When Li Yunmu, a great flux expert gave his status tile to the guard of Pangu City, the man’s expression sank quickly, which was something that happened quite rarely.
Li Yunmu even suspected that if he hadn’t been together with w.a.n.g Ren, the soldiers wouldn’t have allowed him into the city.
“You, you are a human great flux expert? Why have you come here? Which human power are you affiliated to?”one of Pangu soldiers inquired without any politeness in his voice.
If a guard in any human city of the Origin World had dared to take this att.i.tude, their career would’ve ended there and then. That is if the great flux expert wouldn’t have killed them on the spot.
After all, Li Yunmu was a great flux expert whose position was far higher than just any flux expert in the Origin WOrld.
But unfortunately, he was in Pangu City which was located in the Ancient Land in the far east.
Li Yunmu could only bitterly smile in his heart. It seemed like great flux experts weren’t popular in all the regions of the Origin World. Clearly in the eyes of Pangu, the combat strength of great flux experts wasn’t much different from their ordinary guards.
“This elder brother’s name is Li Yunmu, and he protected me while on the journey. Without him, I probably would’ve been dead long ago. He is a rogue cultivator and won’t cause any trouble in Pangu City. I can vouch for him.”
While Li Yunmu was thinking about what to say, w.a.n.g Ren was one step ahead of him and replied in his place.
It has to be said that this time, w.a.n.g Ren, an ordinary person, clearly held a much more respected position than Li Yunmu in the eyes of Pangu soldiers.
Once they heard him vouch for Li Yunmu, the dark expressions on their faces instantly softened. It was especially so when they heard that he had protected w.a.n.g Ren. From then on, their became much more lenient.
But the leader of the city guards still had a hint of suspicion. “According to his status tile, he was branded a traitor of a third tier sect not too long ago. What sort of crime did you commit that your human sect is hunting you?”
The head guard didn’t dare to be careless.
“No crime. It was because I discovered a treasure that I got into a conflict with a descendant of a sect elder and was forced to kill him.”
Li Yunmu might not be able to enter the city for it, but he wouldn’t let them wrong him. So he stated the facts of the matter with an att.i.tude that was neither servile nor overbearing.
Normally, the information on his status tile should’ve been updated to that of a silver-ranked member of Underworld Serpent long ago.
However, because he had to secretly infiltrate Origin G.o.d Sect, his latest status hadn’t been updated. In this region though, it only made his life more convenient.
Otherwise, if Pangu soldiers found out that he was affiliated to Underworld Serpent, a first tier organization which specialized in a.s.sa.s.sination and espionage, the matter would have become even more complicated.
“Oh, then it was just your human betters publicizing their personal grudges. You, nicely done.”
“Good, seems like you have protected this teacher during the journey to Pangu City, so you can obtain entrance to the city for the time being. However, we request that you don’t break any regulations.”
w.a.n.g Ren with his ident.i.ty as a teacher possessed an important status, which had helped Li Yunmu pa.s.s much more easily than he had expected.
After some thought, he said, “Protecting teacher w.a.n.g Ren on his way here was something I did in pa.s.sing. I have obtained some harvest while traveling in the world and would like to sell a large amount of wealth in the city.”
“That can be done as long as you don’t commit any crimes. I will pa.s.s your request to my superior.”
Sure enough, after hearing that Li Yunmu wanted to conduct business in the city, his expression softened even more. His tone also became more polite.
Li Yunmu said that he understood and moved forward.
It seemed like Pangu were relatively poor. However, they were making all effort to draw support from skilled humans and settle the problem which had haunted them for a long time.
The position of a teacher was especially looked upon with respect.
The following procedures weren’t a problem. With w.a.n.g Ren’s guarantee, Li Yunmu entered the city without any hitch, even obtaining treatment which surpa.s.sed what any ordinary cultivator would receive.
Once they entered the city, Li Yunmu said, “This time, I must offer my grat.i.tude to you, Brother w.a.n.g.”
“Lord, don’t speak these words. If I, w.a.n.g Ren, hadn’t been saved by you during the journey, my life would’ve ended long ago.”
w.a.n.g Ren offered his grat.i.tude instead of accepting Li Yunmu’s.
His words were also true. Before, w.a.n.g Ren hadn’t traveled alone; after all, in the Origin World, there were many vicious beasts and other monsters in the wilderness as well as powerful bandits. No one would dare to travel without flux experts for protection.
But the three flux experts hired by w.a.n.g Ren’s group were killed by vicious beasts on the journey long ago. Li Yunmu had happened to pa.s.s by when only w.a.n.g Ren was left and saved him.
He had to admit that w.a.n.g Ren’s luck was quite good.
“Lord, where do you plan to reside now? Do you want to come with me?” w.a.n.g Ren asked after some thought.
“If that’s not a bother, we could rent a small courtyard together. I won’t be staying here for long,” Li Yunmu agreed.
He wasn’t an idiot. Since w.a.n.g Ren had a special position in the city, joining him would naturally allow him to conduct his affairs with more ease.
