Ji Geng, the lord of Wanyi City, has been having a headache these days.
The uninvited guests from the Immortal Capital broke the comfortable situation of Wanyi City.
Wanyi City is just a border city in the Lower Domain. Because it is adjacent to the Liuli King City, this place has always been relatively prosperous and the city is also very large.
Therefore, although the city lord of Wanyi City belongs to a certain lower domain, his life is extremely comfortable. The power and oil in his hands are also very rich, which is no worse than that of many big cities in the middle domain.
Ji Geng has always enjoyed this kind of life.
Although he is a neighbor of Liuli Wangcheng, although Liuli Wangcheng is domineering, he never bullies others. In addition, he has always been relatively diplomatic, and his relationship with the border forces of Liuli Wangcheng is still good.
This kind of day can be said to be like a fairy.
However, half a month ago, a group of people came to Liuli King City. The leader was a Holy Dharma King from the Immortal Capital City. He was very powerful. He was at the peak of the eighth level of the Imperial Realm and was only one step away from reaching the ninth level of the Imperial Realm.
This kind of strength made Ji Geng, who was in the early stage of the Imperial Realm, feel extremely stressed.
Although the lower domain they belong to has nothing to do with the Immortal Heaven, no one in the lower domain dares to ignore the first-grade sects in the eight upper domains. Naturally, they must fawn over them if they can.
However, Immortal Heavenly Capital's request this time was obviously excessive. They directly proposed to take over the north gate of Wanyi City for one year.
The north gate of Wanyi City is the only way to the Liuli City. It is also the busiest gate in Wanyi City. It is also the most profitable gate.
Because Liuli King City is a pearl of the Shenyuan Continent and is known as the land of freedom. It is also one of the top forces in the Upper Eight Regions.
In one year, I don’t know how many powerful people will pass through Wanyi City to go to Liuli King City.
The tolls collected by Wanyi City are also staggering.
Therefore, facing the rude request of Immortal Tiandu, the Lord of Wanyi City subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Fortunately, although Immortal Tiandu is overbearing, it is not completely unreasonable. They also gave huge rewards, which even exceeded the income that Beimen could bring in a year.
If the Lord of Wanyi City is short-sighted and only cares about money, there will naturally be no reason to refuse such a generous reward.
However, despite the huge temptation of benefits, he still did not agree hastily.
As the lord of a city, how could he not know about the grievances and grievances between the Immortal Capital and the Vientiane Territory in the past six months?
The Lord of Wanyi City would naturally not fail to hear the news that the entire army led by Immortal Tiandu Palace Wuji was annihilated.
As the lord of a city, he didn't want to comment on the grievances between the Immortal Capital and the Vientiane Territory, let alone get involved for no reason.
If it were before the Gong Wuji group was destroyed, he would definitely agree without hesitation.
However, after the Gong Wuji group was destroyed, everyone who pays attention to this matter now knows that the Immortal Heaven has suffered a great loss from Jiang Chen.
Even Gong Wuji has the ability to eliminate the evil genius in Wanxiang Territory, but the mere Wanyi City has no ability to get involved.
Besides, this kind of thing is simply thankless.
If he offended that Jiang Chen, there might be endless troubles in the future.
As a person who is accustomed to living a comfortable life, Ji Geng, the lord of Wanyi City, is naturally unwilling to get involved in such disputes.
However, Ji Geng obviously underestimated the determination of the Immortal Capital. When Ji Geng showed his unwillingness, the Holy Dharma King of the Immortal Capital tripled the reward again.
What he said was that if the Lord of Wanyi City did not agree, he would be the enemy of the Immortal Heaven.
This method of kidnapping left Wanyi City Lord with no other choice. He could only hold his nose and agree, but he made it clear that Wanyi City would never be involved in this matter.
Moreover, the Immortal Heavenly Capital must make it clear to the outside world that Wanyi City surrendered control of the North Gate under pressure and was definitely not actively cooperating with the Immortal Heavenly Capital.
Immortal Tiandu knew that Wanyi City wanted to distance itself from itself. Although it felt unhappy, it did not want to cause trouble and agreed to the request of Wanyi City Lord.
In this way, although the Lord of Wanyi City was reluctant, he still handed over the control of the North Gate.
However, now that he has been cleared, what he is going to do is a matter for Immortal Tiandu. He does not have to worry about Jiang Chen's revenge, nor does he need to worry about Liuli Wangcheng's displeasure in the future.
After all, this north gate leads to Liuli King City.
The north gate was handed over to the people of the Immortal Heavenly Capital. To a certain extent, it was also a provocation to Liuli King City.
If Liuli Wangcheng wants to argue with each other, it will be a big deal.
…
On this day, Jiang Chen arrived at the south gate of Wanyi City. He entered through the south gate and exited through the north gate, and then he could enter the boundary of Liuli King City.
In his opinion, Wanyi City should be tightly sealed now.
However, after he entered the south gate, he found nothing unusual. The guards at the city gate simply did some questioning and let them in.
There was no such strict situation as imagined. This was completely different from the encounter outside Tai'a City.
"Could it be that I thought wrong?" Jiang Chen felt incredible.
In his opinion, this place should be tightly guarded and not even a fly can be allowed in.
However, now that he has come in, Jiang Chen does not continue to think about this matter. Once he has come, he will make peace with it. As long as he is careful and cautious.
Although this Wanyi City belongs to the same lower domain, in terms of prosperity, it is not any worse than Tai'a City. In some places, it is even worse.
However, different regions and different landforms and customs made Jiang Chen quite fruitful.
Since the two of them were casual cultivators, they naturally went to a place where there were more casual cultivators. After a while, Jiang Chen came to a place where casual cultivators would stay.
This place is actually a dojo in Wanyi City.
However, this dojo is not aimed at local warriors, but is specially opened for casual cultivators. It is said to be a dojo, but in fact it is an inn.
But in addition to providing accommodation, it also provides a place for practice.
To put it bluntly, it is a place that provides all-round high-end services to casual practitioners.
The poor in literature and rich in martial arts, even casual cultivators, most of them are willing to enjoy high-end places, rather than staying in inns like ordinary people.
Therefore, the business of this dojo is very good.
As soon as the two entered the door, they saw a large open square with many tables arranged randomly. There were at least a thousand casual practitioners, scattered in groups, enjoying the fine wines there.
"Damn it, what's going on in Wanyi City! Okay, why aren't you allowed to pass through the North Gate?"
"Isn't that right? I've gone in and out of this north gate eight times if not ten times. I've never seen anything like this!"
"I heard that the North Gate has been taken over by some force. From now on, if you want to go to the North Gate, you must accept their interrogation. I heard that the interrogation is very strict."
"What kind of force is so fucked up?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! I heard it's a first-class sect from the Upper Eight Realms."
"Tch, a first-grade sect is amazing, isn't it? Can it be more awesome than Liuli Royal City? What the hell!"
Most of the casual cultivators are unruly masters, and almost most of them are rebellious elements with hot tempers and no fear of anything.
If he didn't have this kind of personality, he wouldn't have become a casual cultivator and would have joined the sect long ago. It's because he has a hot temper and can't stand that kind of birdiness that he is willing to become a casual cultivator.
Therefore, when these casual cultivators talk about it, they are also very unscrupulous.
Jiang Chen happened to pass by these people. Hearing these conversations, his heart sank and he thought that it was indeed the case. This is to be gentle in and strict out.
It is easy to enter this city gate, but it is not easy to get out of the north gate and enter the boundary of Liuli King City.
Even if you leave now, you will probably be targeted by people from the Immortal Capital. Leaving as soon as you enter the city is simply asking for trouble.
Moreover, even if you leave, there are only three roads in total. Any one of them must pass through a city. The situation of the other two roads and the other two cities must be similar.
"Well, now that I'm here, I have to pass no matter what. I just wonder how strict their interrogation is? If you want to check the marks on my body, you obviously can't."
Jiang Chen had already refined the immortal mark on his body.
But since this mark can be refined, he guessed that the people in the Immortal Capital should also know about it. Therefore, their investigation should not be as simple as the mark.
The world of martial arts is full of wonders.
Regardless of whether it is the Immortal Capital or the Nine Yang Celestial Sect, since this is the last level, there will definitely be many means to investigate.
It is really not easy to pass.
The two of them crossed the main square, entered the lobby, and booked two rooms. Then they asked for a table, ordered some wine and food, and returned to the main square.
Where there are many people, there is the most news.
It is not convenient for Jiang Chen to inquire now. After all, this place may not have the eyes and ears of the Immortal Capital or the Nine Yang Celestial Sect.
What if someone spots me when I inquire, but I am the one who is looking for trouble.
"Everyone, I heard that this interrogation is really strict. Women are fine, basically they can be let go. But young people, especially those between twenty and forty years old, need to be tested first.
The age of the bones. At this stage, strict interrogation is required. It is said that they also have a strange treasure that can detect whether they are disguised. Once they are found to be disguised, they must restore their true appearance."
"Isn't it? This is too bullying. They are investigating Jiang Chen. If they do this, wouldn't the whereabouts of many people who are being hunted with bounties be revealed? Isn't it too unreasonable for them to do this?"
"Hehe, I don't care if I'm authentic or not. Who wants me to be a first-grade sect?"
Everyone said something to each other, but Jiang Chen secretly frowned.
If it is true as these people say, it is really a big trouble. If you want to pass, it will not be that difficult.
The method they relied on all the way here was nothing more than constant disguise, coupled with powerful means of blocking spiritual consciousness.
If the disguise can be detected, it will be really difficult to pass.
After all, his appearance has long been posted on city gates everywhere, and rewards have been posted for so long. Even people with poor memories know what they look like.
