When the guard leader heard this, he hurriedly flattered, "Lord Lin is indeed a man of noble character and unquestionable integrity. You are truly worthy of my admiration."
Lin Xiao, "…"
Was it appropriate to flatter him like this?!
Just as Lin Xiao was about to ignore the guard leader and continue to line up peacefully, the good-for-nothing from earlier walked over.
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the good-for-nothing.
Could it be that he had not taught him enough just now? Now that this fellow knew his identity, he still dared to come over and seek death?
Noticing Lin Xiao's gaze, the good-for-nothing hurriedly explained, "County Chief Lin, please don't misunderstand. I just wanted to thank you for speaking up for me just now. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been locked up."
"Mm."
Lin Xiao nodded noncommittally. He looked at the good-for-nothing and said earnestly, "I hope that after today's incident, you can learn how to behave."
"Ding!
Congratulations, Host, you have received 200 energy points! "
"Ding!
Congratulations, Host, you have received 50 energy points! "
"Ding!
Congratulations, Host, you have received 50 energy points! "
…
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, a system notification sounded in his mind.
It seemed that his "chivalrous" actions had sincerely convinced the good-for-nothing. At the same time, it had also gained the approval of the surrounding commoners, which was why he had won so many people's hearts.
Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction and continued to line up in the queue for a while. Soon, he entered the imperial city.
The Genius Battle for the Throne was a grand event held once every sixty years in Beiwu Country. As early as a month ago, the Beiwu Country citizens who were interested in this grand event had already begun to gather in the imperial city.
Now, it had reached its peak!
The Imperial City, which was already bustling with activity, became even more crowded at this moment. Black Tortoise Street was filled with a sea of people.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!
As expected of the imperial city, it's so lively! "
Lin Xiao stretched lazily, then looked around at the surrounding commoners and cultivators. He said leisurely, "But there are much fewer experts here than I thought!"
Hearing this, Juling Shen and Yang Jian both nodded in agreement.
With their cultivation, there were not many people in front of them who could catch their eyes.
"What is this brat talking about?
This is the Imperial City, and he actually dares to talk nonsense here! "
"Yeah, who isn't a genius who came to participate in the Battle of Geniuses? He actually said that there are few experts here. What a joke!"
"You two still don't know who he is!
He's Lin Xiao! "
"What?
He was that Lin Xiao with heaven-defying talent?
No wonder he's so arrogant! "
…
Lin Xiao did not deliberately lower his voice. When the surrounding commoners and cultivators heard his words, they immediately began discussing.
"My Lord, should we shut them up?"
When the grumpy Juling Shen heard the discussions around him, he immediately raised his Sky Shaking Hammer, looking like he would smash anyone who dared to say another word.
"No need, we just came to the Imperial City to look at the scenery and take first place in the Battle of Geniuses. There's no need to complicate matters."
Lin Xiao casually waved his hand, shrugged, and said calmly.
The surrounding commoners: "…"
Although Lin Xiao was very powerful, there were no weaklings among those who came to participate in the Battle of Geniuses. Taking first place in the Battle of Geniuses, wasn't that a bit too much?
However, under Juling Shen's fierce gaze, no one dared to raise any questions.
At this moment, there were a few hurried sounds of horse hooves coming from not far away.
Black Tortoise Street was already crowded with people. There was no way for horses to pass. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Lin Xiao frowned slightly.
He raised his head and looked towards the west side of the street. Only then did he realize that a group of extravagant horses were trampling over people. Countless commoners were injured by the horses' hooves!
Even though they had injured countless people, the group of horses did not have any intention of stopping.
The person leading the group even had a proud smile on his face. "Get out of the way, get out of the way!
I'm the City Lord of Red Flame City, Zhao Hong!
If you don't want to die, get out of the way! "
The person leading the group was in his early twenties. He was wearing a long red robe. As he shouted, he waved his hand and whipped the horse under him a few times.
The horse was extremely violent. After being whipped, it jumped up and down. Its eyes were red and its mouth was panting heavily. The strength of its trampling on the commoners also increased.
To be able to tame such a violent horse, it meant that the owner of the horse was indeed capable.
It was a pity that this person was a madman who disregarded human life.
Just as the commoners were panicking and running for their lives, Lin Xiao's eyes flashed with coldness. He said to Yang Jian, who was beside him, "Second Young Master."
Yang Jian understood tacitly. He raised the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand slightly. A terrifying aura burst out. This aura was extremely strong, as if it had pierced through space. It rushed directly in the direction of the City Lord of Red Flame City.
"Chi!"
A white light flashed, and the fierce steed instantly turned into a pool of blood. It no longer had the slightest bit of prestige.
Zhao Hong, who was riding on the horse, was caught off guard and fell off. After rolling a few times on the ground, he lay on the ground in a sorry state.
"Pfft!"
Zhao Hong lay on the ground and could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Although the target of the light was not him, the aftershock of the light was still unbearable. He suffered a serious internal injury.
Zhao Hong got up from the ground with difficulty and pulled out the golden sword at his waist. He looked around and shouted, "Who is it!
Do you know … "
However, before he could finish his sentence, an unparalleled pressure descended on his head.
"Plop!"
Zhao Hong, who had just stood up, knelt down again in a sorry state. Even the marble floor under his feet cracked into countless pieces after he knelt down heavily.
"Someone actually dared to attack Zhao Hong in the Imperial City!"
"Zhao Hong has the Third Prince as his backer. That's why he's so arrogant in the Imperial City. It looks like the person who attacked him is in for it!"
"I'm afraid it's a young genius who came to participate in the competition."
"Speaking of which, this Zhao Hong is really despicable. The person who attacked him helped us vent our anger, but I'm afraid he's in for it."
…
The citizens of the Imperial City were no strangers to the arrogant youth in front of them. When they saw that someone had attacked him, they could not help but discuss it.
Just as they were discussing, Lin Xiao walked out from the crowd. He walked step by step to Zhao Hong and said indifferently, "It's me.
What's wrong? "
This …
Seeing that the person who attacked was Lin Xiao, many people who knew of Lin Xiao's identity craned their necks, wanting to see a good show.
However, Zhao Hong was completely unaware of Lin Xiao's identity. He supported his body with one hand and pointed at Lin Xiao with the other. He gritted his teeth and scolded, "It's you!
You're dead. Don't you know that I'm the youngest … "
"Shut up."
Before he could finish, Lin Xiao rudely interrupted him. He lifted his collar with one hand and said rudely, "Apologize to the citizens you bumped into!"
