Li Chengfeng knew that there were many experts in the world, and that the divine continent was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
The Enlightened Painting Immortal showed Li Chengfeng the tragedy of 'arrogance is bound to fail'.
When Little Bell heard Li Chengfeng's words, she pouted. "Why haven't I heard of this guy before?
He's so crazy and yet there's no news about him at all. It's quite scary.
If the three of us weren't here today, I'm afraid … no one would have survived. "
Indeed, the outcome of this battle was highly uncertain.
Without Little Bell's soul-capturing artifact, without Liu Sumei's Golden Barrier and Momentary Confusion Realm, without Li Chengfeng's unparalleled scheming, none of them would have survived!
Liu Sumei sighed. "Never underestimate the heroes of the world!
This person is so strong, yet he's never made a name for himself. This means that everyone who saw him in action has been killed by him!
This alone is enough to prove how terrifying he is! "
Li Chengfeng nodded. At this moment, Liu Sumei removed the barrier, and the maids outside the Beauty Pavilion surrounded them in fear. Soon, Cosmos God Cult guards rushed over. "Who dares to cause trouble in the Divine Capital?!"
Li Chengfeng saw that the newcomer wore the Cosmos God Cult's long white robes, but there was a red belt around his waist, and a yellow jade token hung from it. He wore a cloud crown on his head. His appearance was a little strange, but it was unforgettable.
Liu Sumei knew at a glance that this was the Cosmos God Cult's internal guard team. There were two types of guard teams. One was the external guard team, which was the Cosmos God Cult's guard team that Li Chengfeng and the rest met when they first entered the city. They were responsible for the security of the Divine Capital's outer perimeter, as well as any disturbances caused by cultivators. Sometimes, they could also cooperate with the authorities to capture cultivators that they couldn't capture.
Inside the Divine Capital were the internal Guardian Guards, which were made up of higher-ranked disciples of the Divine Capital. They were a powerful cultivation guard team responsible for guarding and guarding the Divine Capital's internal safety. They were directly under the Cosmos God Cult, and even the Emperor could not order them around. Under the heavens, there were only three people who could order them around: the Cosmos God Cult Leader, Imperial Tutor Chang Yuan, the white-robed Archbishop Chang Kun, and the black-robed Archbishop Xie Tianyuan.
The Guardian Guards were also divided into three types. The first type was the Black-Clothed Protectors led by the Black-Clothed Archbishop Xie Tianyuan. They were responsible for dealing with large-scale rebellions and wars, as well as for putting down rebellions. The second type was the White-Clothed Protectors led by the White-Clothed Archbishop Chang Kun. The last type was the Yellow-Clothed Protectors led by Chang Yuan.
An ordinary person might not even be able to see any of the three guardian teams even if they stayed in the Divine Capital for their entire lives. Li Chengfeng's' luck 'was extremely good' as he had bumped into the white-robed guardian the moment he arrived.
"Oh no!" Little Bell looked nervous and whispered, "It's the White-Robed Guardian!"
Li Chengfeng asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
A hint of fear flashed in Little Bell's eyes. "I heard that Protectors are the most cruel and ruthless. Those who are captured by them will be severely injured even if they don't die."
Li Chengfeng was shocked. "We're the victims of an attack. Surely they won't make things difficult for us, right?"
Little Bell smirked. "Heh, they'll definitely bleed!"
Li Chengfeng was shocked. "No way?
This is the Divine Capital. I'm a disciple of the Spiritual Mountain who's here to participate in the competition. You're disciples of the Phoenix Hibiscus Court. How dare the Cosmos God Cult be so insolent?! "
Little Bell smirked. "I heard from my Senior Sister who often travels the mountain that if you get into trouble in the Divine Capital and are captured by Protectors, you'll be severely injured even if you don't die. If you want to come out, you'll definitely be extorted heavily. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave the Divine Prison!"
Li Chengfeng could not believe his ears. He cried out, "Aren't they afraid of incurring the wrath of all the cultivators in the world?"
Little Bell said hatefully, "This is the Divine Capital!
They can't wait to attack us and let all the cultivators in the world know how powerful they are! "
Li Chengfeng still could not believe it until the Protectors appeared in front of them. The leader of the group merely glanced at them and waved his hand. "Take them away!"
When Li Chengfeng saw the Protectors walking towards them, he hurriedly said, "A cultivator ambushed us just now. We didn't do it on purpose. They can all testify!"
Li Chengfeng pointed at the guests nearby and shouted. As he spoke, the Protectors had already taken out their magical weapons. They split into groups of two, one holding a chain that glowed with a faint green light while the other held a black shackle covered in intricate patterns. They glared at Li Chengfeng and the rest.
These people were not fast either. Their malicious gazes seemed to be purposely allowing Li Chengfeng and the rest to resist.
Li Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat. He knew this was a common tactic used by sects in the martial world: Zheng Boke and Duan Yuyan!
They purposely allowed their opponents to cause more trouble so that they could launch a lightning strike to prevent themselves from being condemned by the public.
Li Chengfeng did not dare to move anymore. He turned to look at Liu Sumei, only to see her take a step forward. "I am Qu Wanru's disciple, Liu Sumei. Can I explain myself?"
The leader said, "So you're Qu Wanru's disciple from the Phoenix Hibiscus Court!
But before you speak, you must understand three things. "
Liu Sumei said, "Please enlighten me!"
The leader laughed sinisterly. "First, this is the Divine Capital, not the Phoenix Hibiscus Court!
Do you know why Qu Wanru left the Divine Capital and announced that she would never step foot in the Divine Capital again?
That's because our sect leader attacked!
You can't scare us even if you bring up Qu Wanru!
Second, even if you have something to say, say it in the Divine Prison!
Third, it's not up to you to decide, it's up to us! "
Li Chengfeng's heart sank. The joy of defeating Enlightened Painting vanished instantly, replaced by darkness and fear, as if a huge wave was crashing into him!
What did it mean to cover the sky with one hand?
This was it!!
Liu Sumei suppressed her anger and said softly, "Yes, since we're in the Divine Capital, we should respect the sect's rules. However, we are all victims here, please make an exception. We will reward you handsomely after this!"
A hint of greed flashed in the leader's eyes but he quickly suppressed it and sneered. "I said, if you have anything to say, say it in the Divine Prison!"
Li Chengfeng studied them closely. He noticed that they were showing strong hostility and were bent on capturing them. Many of them were staring at him, obviously making him their main target.
But … why would the Cosmos God Sect target him like this?
Was it because his identity was exposed?
Or was it because … he offended the Cosmos God Sect?
Li Chengfeng's mind raced as he thought to himself, 'That can't be, I've never offended the Cosmos God Sect!
Who would be crazy enough to offend such a terrifying behemoth like the Cosmos God Sect? '
While Li Chengfeng's mind raced, the Enforcers were about to capture him when a loud boom sounded in the air. A golden light descended from the sky, striking between Li Chengfeng and the Enforcers like a bolt of lightning.
The Enforcers retreated far away in shock. When they focused their eyes, they saw Zhao Feiyue standing in the middle, dressed in a white robe.
Zhao Feiyue held the Milky Way Divine Sword in her hand, her expression frosty as she barked, "I'm in charge of this place, all of you back off!"
The leader sucked in a cold breath, his eyes narrowed. "So it's Your Highness!
Excuse me!
Your Highness is stretching your hand too far, this is the Cosmos God Sect's responsibility. Your Highness is shielding a suspect, what is your intention? "
His words were filled with malice, trying to pin the blame on Zhao Feiyue. But Zhao Feiyue grew up in the palace, how could she not notice?
Zhao Feiyue took out a jade token from her pocket and said coldly, "Impudent!
I'm your Grand Ancestor, back off now!! "
The leader took a closer look and felt disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly. He was old enough to be Zhao Feiyue's grandfather, but Zhao Feiyue was Imperial Preceptor Chang Yuan's last disciple. In terms of seniority, the Cosmos God Sect had no boundaries, only one above ten thousand!
But his life was at stake, how could he back off just like that?
The leader sneered through gritted teeth, "Since you're the Ancestor's disciple, you should cherish your life and know the bigger picture. Why bother mixing with this kind of suspect and tarnishing the Ancestor's reputation!
Your Highness, please step aside, don't hinder us from arresting this person! "
Zhao Feiyue sneered, "Humph, don't give me that!
Go tell my Fourth Brother, I, Zhao Feiyue, will protect this person. If you don't agree, we'll fight today!! "
