Long Chen had told Lingxi and Xiao Lang everything that needed to be said. Early the next morning, Long Chen did not let Lingxi and Xiao Lang send him off. He went directly to Prince Yu's Residence. The others had not arrived yet. Long Chen stood where he was for a while. At the end of the street, the figures of the Heavenly Wolf Triad finally appeared.
"This brat actually wants us brothers to welcome him personally. He is really arrogant. I will teach him a lesson," a bald, burly man said with some savagery.
"Don't be rash. If you want to fight, do it in the Wonderland where there is no one. You don't have face, but His Highness does. Don't cause trouble for His Highness," Yu Tao said angrily.
When they were not far from Long Chen, Yu Tao shouted at him, "Brat, follow me outside the city."
"Ni Yang's Wonderland is outside the imperial city."
From their words, Long Chen guessed this, so he walked behind the Heavenly Wolf Triad.
They could not be bothered with Long Chen, and Long Chen naturally could not be bothered with them.
His indifferent attitude made Yu Chong, who was walking beside Yu Tao, more and more murderous.
"Brother, promise me that you will kill this Long Chen in the Wonderland," Yu Chong said in a low voice.
"What's the hurry? I already looked for His Highness last night. His plan is to spend a month with Lady Lingxi and see how things go. If we kill Long Chen now, His Highness is worried that Lady Lingxi will guess the truth and bear a grudge against His Highness. So it is best for us to bear with it. Whether to kill Long Chen, we have to wait for a month," Yu Tao said seriously.
"I do not understand. Did His Highness bring this Long Chen back from Yuanling City for Lady Lingxi? Why did he not kill Long Chen in Yuanling City?" Yu Chong asked.
"In the beginning, His Highness valued him because of his potential, but my guess is that because of Lady Lingxi, His Highness knew that Long Chen would never be loyal to him, so he decided to give up on Long Chen."
"Why go through so much trouble? The way I see it, we might as well just kill off Long Chen. She's just a woman. Can't we just take her?" Yu Chong said in a somewhat depressed tone.
"Nonsense. As a prince, His Highness only has his own pride. How can you compare him to us? However, I reckon that if Miss Lingxi's determination is firm, His Highness will go crazy sooner or later. Long Chen will die sooner or later. What are you worried about?" Yu Tao said in a low voice.
Yu Chong finally understood.
After leaving Jade Core Imperial City, Long Chen followed them under Yu Tao's lead, and they headed east. All along the way, the members of the Heavenly Wolf Gang gathered together and chatted loudly, and they'd completely overlooked Long Chen's existence. Long Chen couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them, and he was happy to be left alone.
After walking for about twenty kilometers, an emerald green forest appeared in front of them. At this time, Yu Tao walked to the side of Long Chen and said condescendingly: "We will reach Ni Yang City soon. When we reach Ni Yang City, I will take you to see the legendary Lord Sword Devil. At that time, you better speak less and don't move. Otherwise, if you die, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Don't you want me to die?" Long Chen smiled and said indifferently.
"What do you mean?" Yu Tao said with a gloomy gaze.
Long Chen shrugged and no longer answered. He only cared about walking on his own path.
"Boy, you can be cocky now. A mere country bumpkin dares to go against His Highness. You really don't know life from death." Behind him, Yu Tao sneered.
Soon, they arrived at the Ni Yang City that Yu Tao had mentioned. This Ni Yang City was completely different from the Bi Yang Imperial City. Ni Yang City was entirely black in color, and it looked just like a battle fortress. It was ferocious and domineering, and it had sharp edges and sharp curves. It revealed a terrifying and breathtaking aura.
The entire Ni Yang City actually only had a ring-shaped city wall. However, there were countless densely packed rooms within the city wall. When Long Chen saw it from afar, he was able to tell that there were at least several tens of thousands of soldiers stationed within the city wall.
"You shouldn't underestimate these Ni Yang Army. Fifty thousand Ni Yang Army, even a hundred and fifty thousand Bi Yang Imperial City's Garrison Army would not be a match for them. The lowest requirement to become a member of the Ni Yang Army is to be at the Earth Core Realm. The Five Great Leaders of the Ni Yang Army and the supreme Imperial Uncle, the Sword Demon, are not people that the Seven Great Commanders of the Imperial City's Garrison Army can compare with." Indistinctly, Long Chen heard the members of the Heavenly Wolf Gang discussing this issue.
Within the Imperial City, the Garrison Army was guarding the perimeter. However, within Ni Yang City, there were actually fifty thousand Ni Yang Army soldiers. Moreover, every single one of them was an existence above the Earth Core Realm. Moreover, there were even the Five Great Leaders, the Sword Demon, and other experts keeping watch. From this, it could be seen how strict the Imperial Family was in guarding the Ni Yang Immortal's Realm.
"It seems that it won't be easy for me to find the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit in the Ni Yang Immortal's Realm." Long Chen began to have concerns in this aspect.
Following Yu Tao, Long Chen began to enter Ni Yang City. The city gate of Ni Yang City was guarded very strictly. Immortal Realm Divine Guards could only enter after showing a white identity card. Originally, Long Chen didn't have the qualifications to enter Ni Yang City. However, Yu Tao told the gatekeeper that Long Chen was a Immortal Realm Divine Guard newly recommended by the Ninth Prince. Only then did the gatekeeper agree. However, he needed a small team of Ni Yang Army soldiers to personally lead Long Chen to the place where the Sword Demon was.
Confirming identity and registering.
This strict system caused Long Chen's heart to turn cold.
If one were to look towards the inside of Ni Yang City, one would be able to see that the entire Ni Yang City was surrounded by a gigantic lake. That lake was clear and transparent, just like a tranquil mirror. Only when people entered the lake one by one would faint ripples appear, which would then disappear in an instant.
Within Ni Yang City, all the members of the Ni Yang Army wore black battle armor. Even their heads were covered by heavy armor. Only the Immortal Realm Divine Guards wore different kinds of clothes.
Among those who had sunk to the bottom of the lake, none of them wore black battle armor. Therefore, Long Chen could be sure that these people should be Immortal Realm Divine Guards. In other words, the entrance to the Ni Yang Immortal's Realm should be in the middle of this lake.
"This is the Moon Compassion Lake. The entrance to the Ni Yang Immortal's Realm is in the middle of this lake. You can become a Immortal Realm Divine Guard and enter the Ni Yang Immortal's Realm. I really envy you."
Right at this moment, one of the black armored men said. He could tell that although the men from the Heavenly Wolf Gang had brought Long Chen here, they weren't in the same group as Long Chen.
"How many years have you been here?" He could tell that this black armored Ni Yang Army soldier was a young man, and he should be around the same age as Long Chen.
"Three years. Ever since I was young, my dream has been to become an Immortal Realm Divine Guard. However, because of my own innate talent, I'm still at the Initial Heavenly Core realm. That's why I can only be a member of the Ni Yang Army. However, compared to you, I have my advantages. I don't have to face any dangers. In this world, there is no one who dares to attack Ni Yang City and seize the Ni Yang Immortal's Realm. As for you, in the Immortal Realm, not only will you face the threat of Immortal Beasts, you will also have to fight against each other and kill each other. I think you should be more careful."
While saying this, the black armored young man subconsciously looked at the Heavenly Wolf Gang and continued, "I know this group of people. They used to be horse bandits, and they have killed many people. However, after they became the Ninth Prince's subordinates, they restrained themselves a lot. But, a leopard cannot change its spots …"
"Thank you."
Long Chen nodded his head in response to the young man's advice. He could tell that this black armored young man was a kind-hearted person. It was rare to see such a sincere person.
"I've said too much. Hehe, we're almost at Lord Sword Devil's palace. Speaking of which, I've been here for three years, but I've never seen him with my own eyes. But, you've already seen his face the moment you arrived."
Sword Devil, Long Chen had some impression of this man. Before Xiao Lang became the Sun Devouring Demon Wolf, Long Chen had asked him who his enemies were. Sword Devil's name was one of them, and he was one of the main perpetrators.
"Lord Sword Devil is the younger brother of the current Sword Emperor. His cultivation level has already reached the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier. In the entire Cangyang Nation, he can be ranked in the top three. With him guarding Ni Yang City, there's absolutely no danger. These two people are the pillars of the Cangyang Nation, and I've admired them since I was young," the black armored young man said emotionally.
It could be seen that this young man was probably a little stifled. After chatting with Long Chen for a while, he immediately changed the topic. The people of the Heavenly Wolf Gang did not tell Long Chen anything about the rules of the Ni Yang Immortal's Realm. Thus, for some information, Long Chen could only find out from this black armored young man.
After a while, they finally arrived at Sword Devil's palace.
This legendary expert known as the Sword Demon lived a very simple life.
In front of them was a simple black iron tower. The iron tower was a little old, but it could not conceal its sharpness. The sharp aura pierced Long Chen's skin and made him feel a little pain.
"Just the place where he lives has such a sharp sword. I'm afraid it's not too much to call this person Sword Devil. An expert should be worthy of my respect. However, you are Xiao Lang's enemy, and this is another matter …"
After sending Long Chen here, the black armored young man had no choice but to leave.
Today was the beginning of the month. During this month, there were many people who joined the Immortal's Realm Divine Guards. At this moment, there were already many people waiting at the door.
In front of Sword Devil's palace, Yu Tao did not dare to be too presumptuous, and warned Long Chen in a low voice, "Stay here first. When everyone is here, all of you will have to go through Lord Sword Devil's personal inspection."
Long Chen raised his head, and in front of him was a closed iron door.
"He's really arrogant."
After coming to this Ni Yang City, Long Chen truly felt what kind of power the Imperial Family had. This Ni Yang City was only a corner of the Imperial Family, but it was already so terrifying.
What Long Chen did not lack was patience. Time passed bit by bit. He came here in the morning, and it was only in the afternoon that the iron door opened. It was dark and cold inside.
When the door opened, a strong wind blew out. Long Chen stood in front of it, and he was the first to bear the brunt of it. He quickly circulated his True Qi to resist it.
After the strong wind passed, Long Chen found that his clothes had been cut open by the strong wind.
This was just a natural strong wind. Because of the expert swordsman inside, it naturally formed. When the door opened, it naturally blew out.
Long Chen was a little scared.
"Newly promoted Immortal's Realm Divine Guards, come in."
