The guards' auras were incomparably powerful.
Their faces were filled with displeasure.
To dare attack someone in Burial Sword City, these people were simply tired of living.
Seeing the arrival of the guards, Lu Tianze shouted loudly, wanting the guards to cripple Fang Chen's cultivation.
The guards walked over and looked at the two of them. "What's going on?"
"Sir, I'm here to register my identity, but this person attacked me for no reason," Lu Tianze said before anyone else could.
"Take out your identity medallion," said the guard expressionlessly.
Fang Chen handed over his identity medallion. There was no fear on his face.
After checking Fang Chen's identity medallion, the guard's expression changed slightly. He handed it back to Fang Chen.
"Guards, this person has no respect for the law. He must be severely punished for committing such a crime here."
The guard's expression was incomparably solemn. Lu Tianze was inwardly delighted. If this person violated Burial Sword City's rules, even if he didn't die, he would be crippled.
However, to everyone's surprise, as soon as Lu Tianze finished speaking, the guard at the front said coldly, "Scram."
At the same time, Lu Tianze's body was sent flying and he heavily crashed into the ground.
Lu Tianze looked at the guard in disbelief.
"Guards, he was the one in the wrong first. Why did you attack me instead of indulging him?" asked Lu Tianze.
"Do you know who he is?" asked the guard expressionlessly. "His name is Fang Chen. He is the city lord of Five Elements Sword City."
The guard's aura was extremely terrifying, and it directly pressed down on Lu Tianze and the others.
"What?!"
Hearing this, Lu Tianze's face was filled with shock and fear.
"He is the city lord of Five Elements Sword City."
Lu Tianze's heart was filled with raging waves.
How could such a young martial artist be the city lord of Five Elements Sword City?
Although he couldn't accept this fact, the guard's words were unquestionable.
Lu Tianze glared at Fang Chen and turned to leave.
Seeing Lu Tianze and the others leave, the guard cupped his hands towards Fang Chen and smiled. "City Lord, sorry for disturbing you."
"I'm fine."
Fang Chen nodded slightly.
Actually, Fang Chen had just learned from the scholar that every city lord had certain privileges within the Burial Sword City.
He was the City Lord of the Five Elements Sword City, and his identity had long been recorded by Buried Sword City.
The guard leader checked his identity token and knew who he was.
Therefore, no matter what the cause of the incident was, the guards would not do anything to Fang Chen.
At this moment, the scholar at the side had a wide smile on his face.
As for He Xuelin and the others, they were a little shocked.
"Five Elements Sword City's City Lord."
The four of them were shocked.
This person was so young, but he was actually the lord of a city. It was too shocking.
"City Lord, this must be your first time in Sword Burial City. Please come with us," the guard leader said with a smile.
Fang Chen nodded and said, "Can I bring a friend?"
"Of course."
Hearing this, he turned to look at the scholar. The latter was also grinning from ear to ear.
In the end, Fang Chen and the scholar left with the guards.
The four geniuses of Golden Sword City looked at each other in dismay.
"This person is actually the City Lord of the Five Elements Sword City. How shocking."
"The Five Elements Sword City hasn't had a City Lord for a long time. I didn't expect this person to be so young."
"I'm a little puzzled. Why would the City Lord of the Five Elements Sword City save us?"
Hearing the three of them, Fatty Li's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself, "Did you notice that he looks like someone?"
"Who?" The three of them looked at Fatty Li and asked in unison.
"Gu Jian."
Fang Chen and the scholar arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
Sword Burial City was different from other cities. The City Lord's Mansion was directly under the jurisdiction of the Sword Burial Immortal Palace.
And the City Lord was also an important figure in the Sword Burial Immortal Palace.
This time, the guard leader was bringing Fang Chen to see the City Lord of the Sword Burial City.
Before long, the guard leader brought Fang Chen and the scholar to a luxurious courtyard.
"Young master, you can rest here," said the guard leader to the scholar.
Then he turned to Fang Chen and said, "City Lord, I'll take you to see our City Lord."
The scholar exchanged a glance with Fang Chen and then entered the luxurious courtyard. As for Fang Chen, he went to see the legendary Sword Burial City's City Lord.
City Lord's Mansion, study.
The two old men were full of smiles.
"If that kid sees the two of us, what kind of expression will he have?" asked the short old man with a mischievous smile.
"I bet he'll definitely be surprised," said the tall old man confidently.
"Do you dare bet?" The short old man clearly didn't agree with the tall old man.
"Then let's bet. What do you want to bet?" The tall old man was very confident in his guess.
"Didn't you obtain an Immortal Burial Jade before? If you lose, give it to me," said the short old man with a smile.
The tall old man's expression changed and he immediately refused.
"Hmph, you want my Immortal Burial Jade? Impossible," said the tall old man.
"Aren't you very confident? You don't even dare to bet with the Immortal Burial Jade." The short old man deliberately provoked the tall old man.
"Impossible. Regardless of whether I'm confident or not, I definitely won't bet with the Immortal Burial Jade." The tall old man shook his head with a firm attitude.
Seeing this, the short old man was a little helpless and then said, "Well, if you lose, just give me a Soul Destruction Pill."
Hearing this, the tall old man agreed.
While the two were talking, Fang Chen also came to the study.
"City Lord, the City Lord of the Five Elements Sword City has been brought."
"Let him in."
A voice came from the study.
The guard leader cupped his hands to Fang Chen and then turned to leave.
Without the City Lord's permission, the guards were not allowed to enter the study.
This was the rule of the Sword Burial City and no one dared to break it.
Fang Chen gently pushed open the door and entered the study.
In an instant, Fang Chen saw two old men with wretched smiles on their faces.
"You wouldn't be the City Lords of the Sword Burial City, right?" Fang Chen was a bit surprised, but his expression was still very calm.
"Kid, we meet again. Yes, the two of us are the City Lords of the Sword Burial City." The short old man smiled.
Seeing Fang Chen's calm expression, the tall old man was a bit speechless.
"Kid, aren't you shocked to see the two of us?" asked the tall old man.
Fang Chen spread his hands. "What's there to be shocked about? I've seen you before and know that you're important figures in the Sword Burial Immortal Palace. It's normal for you to be the City Lords of the Sword Burial City."
Hearing this, the short old man laughed heartily.
As for the tall old man, he was filled with helplessness. In the end, he took out a Soul Destruction Pill and threw it to the short old man.
Seeing this, Fang Chen was a bit puzzled.
While Fang Chen was lost in thought, the two old men looked at Fang Chen.
"Kid, you're really something. Not only did you obtain the Five Element Sword, but you also fused with the Five Element Bell to become the City Lord of the Five Element Sword City," said the tall old man.
When they had learned of this from the palace master, they had also been shocked.
But in the end, they felt relieved.
If he could draw out the twelfth Heaven tribulation, then what was the point of fusing with the Five Element Bell?
Furthermore, the palace master had said that this child had the highest chance of obtaining the Sword Burial Emperor's approval.
Fusing with the Five Element Bell proved the palace master's words.
If it was an ordinary City Lord, the two old men wouldn't even bother to meet him. But Fang Chen was different.
The two of them had high hopes for Fang Chen, and the palace master also favored him.
"It was just a fluke," said Fang Chen.
"You're the first person in the history of the Sword Burial City to fuse with the Five Element Bell. If that counts as a fluke, then how can we still have the face to continue living?"
Hearing this, Fang Chen was no longer modest.
The two of them already knew Fang Chen's background.
"We called you here to tell you a few things about the Sword Burial City," said the tall old man.
"What is it?" Fang Chen's eyes flickered.
"Every genius that comes to the Sword Burial Prefecture will go to the Sword Burial Heavenly Wall," said the short old man.
"Sword Burial Heavenly Wall? What's that?" Fang Chen was a bit confused. Just what was this Sword Burial Heavenly Wall?
