Chapter 396: Wuling City
After staying under the cliff for the night, Yin Hu was able to move, and Ye Chen set off again and continued to move in the direction of Xingchen Academy.
However, because Yinhu was injured, Ye Chen did not let him turn into Yanhu's real body and carry Shan Candle and Luo Tianyan, but instead held Shan Candle in his arms and held Luo Tianyan Fei in his hand. However, being troubled by the bald head, Ye Chen didn't have the heart to stay any longer when he encountered the landscape.
By noon, a small city appeared in Ye Chen's sight, although it was not big, but it was also prosperous, from time to time there would be warriors falling from the sky and walking into the city, and the city was also full of people, and it was very lively.
"Let's go there for lunch. Ye Chen pointed to the small city road.
Luo Tianyan poked his head out from behind Ye Chen, looked at the city, and then nodded and said, "Okay." ”
"If it's fun, we'll stay in town for a few more days. Ye Chen smiled dotingly, and as he spoke, he and everyone fell outside the city.
This city is not like Dragon City, it has an owner, and two teams of guards from the Qi Sea Realm have been set up at the city gate, where the city tax is collected.
Ye Chen took a look, there was already a long queue at this city gate, there were forty or fifty zhang, if he also went to the row, he would at least wait until the afternoon to enter the city. But fortunately, Ye Chen's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there was a flat stone tablet on the city wall, and there was a notice on it, saying that martial artists who had cultivated above the God Realm could enter the city directly without paying taxes.
Ye Chen took the two little girls and Yinhu over, and the guards guarding the city saw that Ye Chen wanted to cut in line, so he came over and raised his spear and saluted, and said in a businesslike tone: "Senior, if you want to enter the city, please queue up to pay taxes, don't cut in line." ”
Ye Chen was secretly amused in his heart, but these soldiers were well-trained, and they didn't come to catch up. So Ye Chen didn't care, he just said unhurriedly: "I have a Transformation Divine Realm cultivation, can I enter the city?"
"Transform, transform the Divine Realm Cultivation?" the soldier was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Ye Chen suspiciously.
It's no wonder that the soldiers don't believe it, it's really that Ye Chen's age looks too young, not as old as him, if he wants to say that he has a god realm cultivation, he won't believe it if he kills him.
However, the soldier did not ridicule Ye Chen, but hesitated for a while, then saluted Ye Chen, and said politely: "Senior, wait a minute, I'll call the captain." ”
Ye Chen frowned, he didn't expect it to be so troublesome. But he didn't want to embarrass a conscientious soldier, so he had to nod his head and let the soldier go quickly.
"It's so troublesome, I really want to see what kind of bird this city's lord is!" Yin Hu said indignantly.
"There are no rules, and it's okay for people to set such rules. Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's difficult to be the lord of a city, not only do you have to give worship to the nearby sect forces, but you also have to maneuver among the major forces, you can't rely on any strength, and you can't offend any force." In addition to these, the soldiers and non-commissioned officers in the city have to be raised, and the common people have to be protected, so naturally they have to be careful. ”
This is also one of the reasons why there is no city lord in Dragon City, there are many forces in Dragon City, and the intertwined roots are very complicated, if someone from the nine major sects becomes the city lord there, the other sects will definitely refuse, and if there is someone outside the major forces who becomes the city lord, they have to maneuver between the major forces.
The word "circumstantial" is easy to say, but if you really want to do it, it is as difficult as heaven. First of all, the nine major forces of Dragon City, that is, the nine forces supported by the nine major sects of the Phantom Dragon Continent, will definitely do their best to win over this so-called city lord, this city is mainly left and right among the nine major forces, and the nine major forces will definitely get rid of him, and if only one force is good, the other eight major forces will get rid of him. Therefore, the position of the lord of Dragon City has been vacant, and Dragon City has naturally become a prosperous, but chaotic city.
However, Yinhu is just a demonic beast, although he was also the young master of the clan before, but the demonic beasts will do it if they are not satisfied, their fists decide everything, and there are not so many ways at all, so Ye Chen didn't tell him this, because he didn't understand it.
"Where are the seniors of the Transformation God Realm?" Soon, the captain of the soldiers defending the city came over and asked with a smile on his face.
"I am. Ye Chen stood up with Shan Candle in his arms and said proudly.
The middle-aged man-like captain looked at Ye Chen suspiciously, "You?"
"What?" Ye Chen frowned, slightly displeased.
"Nothing, nothing. The captain hesitated for a moment, then said with a dry smile, "Since the senior is a master of the Transformation God Realm, please take out the voucher and enter the city as soon as it is confirmed." ”
Although his tone was quite disdainful and suspicious, he could also see that the captain who only had the triple cultivation of the Condensation Realm was also a cautious person, otherwise he would have directly reprimanded him.
Ye Chen didn't bother to bother with him, he just snorted coldly when he heard this, and his whole body surged, releasing all the pressure of the three heavens of his Transformation Realm, for a while, Ye Chen's robe danced without wind, and the surrounding grass and trees and gravel were also shaken and swayed, and with Ye Chen as the center, a tornado was formed.
The captain was drenched in cold sweat by this coercion, his legs trembled, and he almost knelt on the ground, where did he dare to be rude to Ye Chen, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Senior, senior, quickly put away the supernatural powers, the small one will let you into the city, and the little one will let you into the city, and this will let you into the city!"
Ye Chen didn't embarrass him, and when he heard this, he put away the coercion of his god realm master.
"Senior, the city lord of my family has ordered, but there is a strong person who has cultivated in the god realm, and he must treat him politely, and invite him to the city lord's mansion with eight sedan chairs to enjoy, you can see ......" The captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat on his head.
"No, I'm just here to play, I'll leave in a few days. Ye Chen frowned, and he was already a little impatient, "Can I go in now?"
"Yes, yes, since the seniors don't want to go to the City Lord's Mansion, then you can do it yourself, you can do it yourself. The captain of the guard didn't dare to be embarrassed, and hurriedly said respectfully.
Ye Chen nodded slightly and walked towards the city gate.
After Ye Chen walked away, the captain of the guard suddenly took out a crystal, handed it to the soldiers on the side, and ordered: "Hurry up and report to the city lord, just say that there is a senior master of the God Transformation Realm." ”
The soldier hurriedly took the order and took the crystal away
After entering the city, Ye Chen did not run around like a headless fly, but stopped a passer-by first and asked if there was a return inn in the city.
Passers-by said yes, and kindly pointed out the way to Ye Chen. After Ye Chen thanked the passers-by, he walked directly to the inn.
The intelligence network of the Return Pavilion is almost all over the entire Phantom Dragon Continent, and the Return Inn is the site of the Return Pavilion Intelligence Network, for example, this city, the Return Inn is the intelligence point of the city, and all the noteworthy information in this city will be gathered in the Return Inn, and then sorted out by the shopkeeper of the Return Inn, transmitted to the Return Pavilion, and then conveyed to the old man according to the needs of the old man.
And Ye Chen came to investigate the group of people he met before, so as to take revenge.
"Yo, guest officer, are you going to be a top soldier or staying in a hotel?" As soon as he entered and returned to the inn, Xiao Er immediately greeted him warmly.
"Stay. Ye Chen looked around and said, "Invite your shopkeeper, I have something to say to him." ”
"The guest officer is polite, please don't dare to take the word, the villain is the shopkeeper who returned to the inn, I don't know what the guest officer commands?"
Ye Chen glanced at the shopkeeper, took out the token of the Imperial Dragon Sect Sect Master and threw it to him, "Give me three adjacent upper rooms." ”
As soon as the thin old man saw the token, his expression suddenly became a lot more respectful, but he didn't salute immediately, but returned the token to Ye Chen with both hands, and said respectfully: "Yes, yes, guest officer, please go upstairs." Little Er, go and prepare a table of the best wine and food! Let the chef make it himself!"
Xiao Er was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly took the order.
Ye Chen followed the old man upstairs, and lived in the Tianzi No. 1 room under the old man's arrangement. As soon as the door was closed, the old man hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and asked for a sin: "Disciple Han Fu pays a visit to the sect master, may the sect master live a long life and cultivate diligently! The disciple does not know that the sect master is coming, and if he misses the welcome, please punish the sect master!"
"No need to be polite. Ye Chen waved his hand and sat down on the chair, "I'm here to travel, it's normal for you to not know." ”
"Sect Master Xie. The shopkeeper who claimed to be Han Fu stood up at this time, bowed his head and stood aside with his hands tied, waiting for Ye Chen's orders.
Ye Chen didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "I came to ask you something, you are in charge of the intelligence network around here, if you know, you must tell the truth." ”
"It's nature, it's nature. Han Fu hurriedly said.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Let me ask you, is there a sect called God Slaughter in the vicinity?"
"God Slaughter?" Han Fu thought about it carefully when he heard this, "Back to the sect master, the disciple has been in this Wuling City for more than seventy years, and he has never heard of a sect with this name. ”
"What about the Phantom Dragon Continent? You should also have information from other places here, right? Go and check it to see if there is a sect called God Slayer. Ye Chen wasn't too disappointed, there wasn't one around here, it should be a sect from other places. And as soon as he made a move, there were five or six powerhouses in the Transformation God Realm, and the strength of this sect should not be weak, and it must be easy to find out with the intelligence network of the Returning Pavilion.
"Yes, Sect Master, wait a while, and the disciple will go and bring out the information. Han Fu hurriedly said.
Ye Chen nodded and let Han Fu go.
After waiting for a while, Han Fu hadn't come back yet, but the wine and food came over first, Ye Chen ate with the two little girls and Yinhu first, and carefully helped Yinhu change the medicine for the injury, and told him to rest first.
Then Ye Chen chatted with Luo Tianyan in the room, while waiting for Han Fu to bring out the information. However, it wasn't until the sun was about to set that Han Fu knocked on the door and came in.
"Didn't you say wait a minute? Ye Chen asked with some reproach.
"Back to the sect master, the disciple transferred all the information in the entire Phantom Dragon Continent that was mastered by the Heavenly Machine Palace, and investigated them one by one, which is why he has been going for so long. Han Fu hurriedly explained.
"Did you find anything?" Ye Chen didn't say anything more, just nodded and asked.
"The disciple is incompetent, and he did not find the sect of God Tu in the intelligence of the Heavenly Machine Palace, and asked the sect master to punish him. Han Fu said cautiously.
"No?" Ye Chen frowned when he heard this, "Isn't that God Slaughter a sect?"
"Don't insist on it, maybe it's a hidden sect. Jing Xin helped analyze in Ye Chen's mind, "The Phantom Dragon Continent has existed for so long, and the sect forces are endless, and there may be a time when a hidden sect suddenly appears that is unknown. Although the intelligence network of your Heavenly Machine Hall is powerful, after all, the strength is too low, and even the old man of the hall master only has the cultivation of the ninefold condensation realm, and it is normal to have hidden sects that he does not know. ”
Ye Chen thought about it for a while, pondered for a while, took out the God Butcher token again, and handed it to Han Fudao: "Forget it if you don't have it, you take this token, investigate it carefully, and tell me if you have any news." ”
