At this moment, Long Chen raised his head and widened his eyes. This was the first time he took a good look at the Wushu Sage Dynasty.
First was the sky. It was different from the dark blue sky of Cangyang Country. The sky here was actually gloomy and deathly grey. This made the atmosphere under the sky abnormally oppressive. The place where Long Chen was at was a wilderness. The wilderness was flat and barren. There weren't even a few weeds. The soil was dark grey, dry and barren. Stepping on the ground, there was a feeling of loosening.
This vast land was the Wushu Sage Dynasty.
What Long Chen saw just now was the environment. After looking around, he saw the people around him. At this time, there were ordinary people like him who came to the Wushu Sage Dynasty from other places. The other half of them were dressed like the people that Long Chen saw just now. They were all Wushu Alliance people. On their chests, there was a soul-stirring "Wu" character.
Long Chen frowned secretly. Judging from the cold and arrogant attitude of these Wushu Alliance people, they were probably not polite to an outsider like Long Chen. The whip just now was a very obvious example.
"Everyone, line up. Those who have the Wushu Alliance identity token, stand on the left. Those who are visiting the Wushu Alliance for the first time, those who don't have an identity token, stand on the right. Everyone, quickly stand in line. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy." At this time, a deafening roar sounded in Long Chen's ears.
Long Chen frowned.
The other party's attitude was indeed extremely bad. However, not only did they have a lot of people, they were also very strong. They were not easy to deal with. Long Chen knew that now was not the time to start a conflict. Hence, he followed their instructions and stood in the long line on the right. Most of the people who came from the Teleportation Formation stood on the left, and only a few stood on the right.
The people from the Martial Union stood guard beside the two groups, watching over them with vigilant expressions. Their cold gazes, as well as the faint aura emanating from their bodies, caused everyone to tremble with fear, not daring to move recklessly.
Long Chen looked at the people on the left. At the front of the line, there were several large rectangular stone tables. Several warriors with relatively strong cultivation were sitting beside these tables, checking the warriors who had just come out from the Teleportation Formation. These warriors were more well-behaved. They took out a golden token from their Cosmos Sack and handed it to the people of the Wushu Alliance before they could leave.
On Long Chen's side, because this was the first time they came to the Wushu Sage Dynasty, and they were arrogant people in their original territory, they basically did not know what the Wushu Alliance was. Therefore, some of them did not obey the management. The people of the Wushu Alliance looked at Long Chen's team with a contemptuous and mocking smile.
"Perhaps, in their eyes, we are just a group of country bumpkins who don't know anything. The weak are prey to the strong. No matter where it is, this is the hard truth." Long Chen sighed in his heart.
With Zhao Qingyun's reminder, he knew that the Wushu Alliance was powerful. Therefore, he knew that he should behave himself. In the Cangyang Kingdom, he often offended people. After Lingxi left, his character became more restrained. He could only try his best not to offend people that he should not offend.
Of course, Long Chen's character was that he would not offend others if they did not offend him. If someone really bullied him, of course, Long Chen would retaliate like a storm.
More and more people came out of the Qian Kun Teleportation Formation. As for Long Chen, he kept moving towards the front of the team. When he looked up, he knew what was going on. It turned out that the people of the Wushu Alliance were here. On one hand, they were checking the identity of those people. On the other hand, they were making identity tokens for people like Long Chen who had just arrived at the Wushu Sage Dynasty.
One by one, they were able to leave safely after getting their identity tokens.
Long Chen's heart trembled. He knew that the purpose of the Wushu Alliance was here was to brand the brand of the Wushu Alliance for the newcomers, so that they could become a part of the Wushu Alliance. As for the other team, it was not to check their identity, but to confirm if they really had an identity token.
Long Chen estimated that everyone in the Wushu Sage Dynasty would have an identity token of the Wushu Alliance. Long Chen's eyes were sharp. He could easily see that the front side of the identity token was embossed with the word "Wu" in bold and flamboyant calligraphy, while the back side was engraved with his name. After the newcomers told him their name, their name would be embossed on the identity token.
Because of this procedure, the advancement of Long Chen's team was much slower.
Seeing that they were approaching the front of the team, Long Chen could vaguely hear that when the people of the Wushu Alliance obtained the names of the newcomers, they would also record their cultivation level, country, and other information. He was secretly shocked. In this way, all the information of the outsiders who came to the Wushu Sage Dynasty would be in the hands of the Wushu Alliance. It could be seen that the Wushu Alliance's control over the Wushu Sage Dynasty was much stronger than the royal family's control over the Cangyang Kingdom.
At least, if he was in the Wushu Alliance, and Long Chen killed their leader, he would definitely not be able to take over the Wushu Alliance.
Of course, this was just a thought.
"Fat Cat, do you know that the strength of these people from the Wushu Alliance is almost at that level?" At this time, Long Chen could only ask for help from Kitten.
"Kaka, are you asking me a question? But it doesn't seem to be the case." Kitten pretended that he didn't understand.
"Okay, Master Cat, don't waste time. Just say it," Long Chen said helplessly.
"Master Cat is a good name. Good, good. Continue to carry it forward. Hmm … These little guys are generally at the first, second, or third level of the Reaching Heaven State. Some of them are even at the second level of the Reaching Heaven State. They are so weak …" Kitten said complacently.
Long Chen was speechless.
He didn't expect that when he had just arrived at the Wushu Sage Empire, he would meet freaks at the Reaching Heaven State. These two hundred people from the Wushu Alliance were all at the Reaching Heaven State. If these people went to the Cangyang Kingdom, how terrifying would they be?
Just when Long Chen was shocked, there was a sudden uproar in front of them. A rough voice suddenly roared, "What? Even I have to tell you my strength? Why? Is the Wushu Sage Empire such a place? Who are you?"
Long Chen looked up. At this time, right in front of the team, a tall and strong man was confronting the people from the Wushu Alliance. He didn't want to give in at all.
He shook his head, because he knew that this man was definitely going to meet a tragic end. He didn't want to reveal his strength. If he was an expert, it would be right for him to do so. However, it was a pity that he didn't understand the situation. The current situation was that this was the world of the Wushu Alliance, and the Wushu Alliance was an abnormally strong group. If he didn't have the strength to resist the Wushu Alliance, he would be courting death if he resisted.
Indeed, after he had finished shouting, those young men from the Martial Alliance looked at each other, and all smirked coldly. Then, a few Heaven Ascension Tier elites rushed forward, and instantly beat the martial artist who was merely at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier to the point that he vomited blood and died, his internal organs directly shattered.
"You, carry him out and throw him away."
Next to the stone table was a middle-aged man with a stern expression. The aura on his body was much stronger than the others, and it was obvious that he was an expert in the second level of the Heaven Ascension Tier that Kitten had mentioned. The second level of the Heaven Ascension Tier was even stronger than the Sword Emperor from back then.
Under his order, the burly man's body was carried away, and the procedure here continued. However, after the mess just now, everyone was as quiet as cicadas in winter, and they obediently revealed their family's assets.
"These country bumpkins are really hopeless. We have to kill more than 10 people who don't have eyes every day. After so many years, I don't know how many idiots have died in my hands. More than a thousand, haha …" At this time, the few people from the Wushu Alliance who had just killed the man began to discuss.
"I really admire these guys. They don't have any brains at all. How did they cultivate to such a level? Before they came to the Wushu Sage Empire, did they not find out who was in charge in the Wushu Sage Empire?"
These discussions in low voices caused Long Chen to be secretly shocked.
Very soon, it was his turn. Long Chen walked to the stone table. At this time, the few people from the Wushu Alliance who were making records and making identity plates did not look at Long Chen. Instead, they lowered their heads and asked, "Report your name, strength, country you are from, and your purpose in coming to the Wushu Sage Empire. Speak louder."
Long Chen said directly, "My name is Long Chen, and my strength is at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier. I come from the Cangyang Nation, which is one of the subordinate nations of the Wushu Sage Empire. As for my purpose … I have come to the Wushu Sage Empire mainly to pursue the path of the strong and improve my strength."
His answer was direct and clear, and could be considered obedient. Long Chen had already noticed that normally, if he answered all the questions in one go, he would be able to quickly complete the creation of the identity plate. If he delayed and angered them, he would definitely suffer a lot.
"Long Chen … Ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier …" those people murmured silently. Very soon, the identity plate was being created. Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Once he got the identity plate, he would be able to take a good rest and study what exactly was going on with this Wushu Sage Empire.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, the middle-aged man who had just given the order to kill the burly man suddenly raised his head. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Long Chen, and he asked, "Are you sure that your name is Long Chen? Dragon as in Divine Dragon, Chen as in Stars."
Long Chen was startled. Then, he nodded, and said, "Indeed. What instructions does Milord have for me?"
The middle-aged man instantly broke into a grin, and said, "Fine, you are Long Chen. I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. Men, take his head, and bring it back for others to see if he is really Long Chen."
His tone was very calm, but Long Chen was instantly stunned.
His name was Long Chen, and he was going to be killed just like that? What kind of logic was this?
Long Chen realized that this could very well be a misunderstanding. It was possible that there was indeed someone named Long Chen who had offended the Wushu Alliance. Thus, he hurriedly said, "Milord, this is the first time I have come to the Divine Wushu Sage Empire, and I really do not understand what is going on. Could it be that someone with the same name as me has offended the Wushu Alliance?"
That middle-aged cultivator did not listen to what Long Chen had to say at all. With a wave of his hand, he directly said, "Are you all deaf? Behead him, bring him back for comparison, and see if he is that Long Chen."
