The city gate of the main city of Xizhou is a majestic huge stone gate. The stone is not an ordinary stone, but a black gold stone with a hardness comparable to metal.
A ten-meter-high metal gate clamped into the ground like a beheading ax, completely blocking the city gate so that not even a fly could fly in.
In addition, there are dozens of guards armed with long axes, guarding the city gate loyally.
Each of them has a sturdy body shape, strong muscles, and a restrained and powerful aura. Although the long ax in their hand is not a treasure, it is also made of special metal and is very strong.
Those long axes seemed very heavy, but when held in their hands, they seemed to be so light and weightless that they felt no effort at all.
As soon as Lin Yung approached the city gate, he was intercepted by the guards.
"Who is it? Stop!"
The two guards crossed their axes in front of Lin Yun and questioned Lin Yun in a fierce tone.
Lin Yun said calmly: "I am a casual martial artist in a small town. I heard that bandits are rampant in Xizhou recently. The city lord is recruiting warriors to suppress the bandits. Although I am not from Xizhou, I still want to contribute to Xizhou.
Make a contribution to the kingdom."
Before going to Xizhou, Lin Yun had already obtained enough information from the Lord of Zhen. Naturally, he knew that the Lord of Xizhou was in charge of recruiting warriors across the entire state.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, one of the guards couldn't help but sneer: "Contribute to Xizhou? I think you are doing it for the reward of one million gold coins?"
Another guard also taunted: "You look so weak, but you still want to follow and suppress the bandits, and you don't even want your life for money?"
Although these guards looked strong, their cultivation was actually only ninth-level warriors and had not reached the level of warriors, so they could not sense Lin Yun's cultivation at all.
Although Lin Yun disguised himself as middle-aged, he could not change his body shape. He still looked about the same as a fifteen-year-old boy, and compared with these guards, he looked even more frail.
It is precisely for this reason that these guards despise Lin Yun so much.
At this moment, many people going in and out of the city gate, after seeing someone being stopped by the guards, came over to watch the fun, pointed at Lin Yun, and talked about it.
Lin Yun said in a very calm tone: "You are right, I am here to make money. But I believe that I have the ability to make this money. Please open the city gate and let me see the city lord."
"The city lord has specifically told us to only recruit warriors who are above the level of a seventh-level warrior. Have you met this requirement?" A guard looked at Lin Yun with contempt, obviously not thinking that Lin Yun had reached the level of a seventh-level warrior.
Lin Yun didn't speak, but nodded expressionlessly.
Seeing Lin Yun nodding, the guards all showed suspicious expressions.
One of the guards, whose face was covered with scars, directly raised his ax and placed it on Lin Yun's neck: "You said you have reached the level of a seventh-level warrior, so let me test your strength."
With the ax held on his neck, Lin Yun remained expressionless and showed no reaction at all. He didn't even look at the ax, but said to the guard in a calm tone: "You'd better look behind you first."
After Lin Yun finished speaking, a series of falling sounds were heard.
thump!
thump!
thump……
Hearing this voice, Scar Guard was startled. Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see the onlookers on the side, who were holding their faces in their hands and looking behind him with a completely shattered expression.
Scar Guard suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart and hurriedly turned his head and looked back.
The scene that happened before his eyes completely refreshed his outlook on life.
All the guards holding long axes present fell to the ground motionless, completely unresponsive.
"What...what's going on?!" Scar Guard was completely dumbfounded, and even the hand holding the ax began to tremble.
What exactly is going on?
Why are everyone else lying on the ground?
Did the person in front of me just do something?
Impossible, he obviously didn't do anything!
The Scar guard turned to look at the crowd, his eyes full of doubts, as if he was asking the crowd what happened just now.
The onlookers were all confused, unable to understand what just happened.
Because the young man wearing a straw hat in front of him really did nothing. He just glanced at the other guards at the moment when the ax was pressed against his neck, and those guards fell down inexplicably.
Can you fall over just by looking at it?
Is this really something humans can do?
In the eyes of the onlookers at the scene, this kind of thing has completely subverted their understanding.
There is no doubt that what Lin Yun used just now was just his pupil technique.
Lin Yun's current state of spiritual consciousness has reached the second state of spiritual consciousness, the super-sensory state.
Although his pupil technique is ineffective against people with strong mental strength, it is still more than enough to deal with these warriors guarding the gate.
"You... what on earth did you... do to them?!" Scar Guard looked at Lin Yun at this time. The contempt and disdain he had before were no longer there, replaced by awe and fear.
"Do you want to know?" Lin Yun replied expressionlessly, his tone still calm.
But this abnormal calmness now made Scar Guard feel a chill that seemed to freeze his soul, causing cold sweat to break out all over his body.
"No, no, no... no need." Scar Guard's hands trembled with fear, and he couldn't even hold the ax on Lin Yun's neck steady, and dropped it directly to the ground.
Lin Yun did not make any move and said calmly as usual: "I want to see your city lord. Do I need to repeat this sentence again?"
Scar Guard's body trembled violently, and then he said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, I will go immediately, I will go immediately."
After saying that, the scar guard rolled and crawled to the city gate and asked the guards inside the city gate to open the gate.
After the city gate opened, Lin Yun stepped over the fallen guard, walked into the main city of Xizhou in a swagger, and then walked straight towards the city lord's palace.
The guards waiting outside the city lord's mansion have all reached the level of warriors. Therefore, they are more knowledgeable than the guards at the city gate. After hearing that Lin Yun was here to participate in the bandit suppression operation, they immediately brought Lin Yun into the mansion to be interviewed by the city lord.
He was also very respectful and polite to Lin Yun along the way.
Under the leadership of the guards, Lin Yun soon met the city lord of Xizhou, Xizhou Hou, in the city lord's mansion.
Xizhou Hou is a rickety old man over sixty years old. He wears a patterned black robe and holds a black skull staff. There is also a skull totem carved on his wrinkled face. He looks both good and evil.

The realm of Xizhou Marquis is the same as that of the ninth-level martial artist like Yuzhou Marquis. However, his aura is completely opposite to that of Yuzhou Marquis, who is upright, and even has a vaguely weird and bloodthirsty aura...
