When did checkpoints start being set up outside Silvermoon City to check pedestrians? Long Chen couldn't help but frown.
Eighteen massive siege crossbows were aimed at Guo Ran's flying boat. At the same time, countless runes lit up above the outer city gates of Silvermoon City, ready for battle.
"It's people from the Sacred Pill Hall." Guo Ran said gravely.
"The Sacred Pill Hall can actually control Silver Moon City?" Daring to inspect in front of Silvermoon City—this was something he hadn't expected. Mo Nian was also a bit surprised.
You have to understand, Silvermoon City is the city of the human race. Although it doesn't ban foreign races, no one dares to cause trouble within its jurisdiction, or else it would be trampling on Silvermoon City's dignity.
Setting up checkpoints in front of the city gates to inspect pedestrians either means they don't take Silvermoon City seriously or have their approval.
However, seeing that among those people were members of the Sacred Pill Hall and also experts in brocade robes embroidered with Silver Moon, it seemed they had received Silver Moon City's approval.
"Listen up, people on the flying boat! Get off quickly and undergo inspection, or you'll bear the consequences!" A Divine Venerable realm expert shouted sternly.
"Bear the consequences yourself?" I'm indeed quite arrogant. What can you do to me? Long Chen snorted coldly and stepped out of the flying boat.
When Long Chen, Mo Nian, and the others came out, the leading Divine Sovereign expert's expression changed drastically, and he immediately took a stance of high alert.
"I, Long Chen, am entering the city. With just these donkey and horse egg stuff, can you really stop me?" Long Chen looked at the dozens of Divine Venerable-level experts and a group of Immortal King disciples before him, standing with his hands behind his back and sneering.
"Long Chen, you're now a wanted criminal for the Saint Pill Hall, Blood Kill Hall, Nine Nether Hall, and the Demon Clan. Silvermoon City doesn't welcome you. Get lost."
At that moment, a powerful Immortal King with a silver moon embroidered before him stepped out from the crowd. He was a supreme prodigy, fairly handsome, but with an arrogant face, seemingly looking down on everyone.
"Silver Moon City is a city of the human race. Since when did it become someone else's lackey? Is the Saint Pill Hall your father? You're so obedient? Long Chen said disdainfully.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am?" The man dressed in Silver Moon Elegant Robe shouted sternly.
"Whoever you love, I'm heading into the city right now. I don't have time to waste words with you. If you don't want to die, then make way."
I know you've secretly informed those guys, and they're rushing over at full speed.
But if you want to block my path, Long Chen, first, you won't succeed; second, you will pay an unbearable price. Long Chen said coldly.
After a few words, Long Chen basically understood that these people were merely colluding with people from Silvermoon City to keep Long Chen outside the city, and had no right to mobilize the entire city's forces against him.
All they need to do is hold off Long Chen and wait for experts to come to their aid. Once the experts arrive, they can kill Long Chen outside the city without affecting Silvermoon City's reputation.
"Arrogant brat, I think you're courting death. I am the thirteenth son of the Lord of Silvermoon City. If you don't kneel and kowtow to me today, then go die!"
The man dressed in silver moon robes flew into a rage, choked, drew his long blade, and pointed it at Long Chen.
"Boss, why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? I, Guo Ran, am willing to throw a brick to spark the opportunity and take the lead." Seeing the man about to make a move, Guo Ran immediately stepped forward.
The man in the Silver Moon Elegant Robe, though a supreme-level prodigy, had an aura that was not overwhelming—in fact, somewhat superficial. He was clearly a man of good talent but had not delved deeper, nor had he experienced many life-and-death battles. Even Guo Ran was confident he could kill such a person with a single strike.
"Courting death!"
Seeing Long Chen ignore him, a figure with a weaker aura jumped out. The man in the silver moon robe thought he was deliberately humiliating him, and in a fit of rage, he was about to rush forward.
But before he could make a move, he was caught by the elder of the Sacred Pill Hall. The elder had personally witnessed Long Chen and the others fighting fiercely and knew well that among these five, each was a peerless powerhouse.
If this man in the Silver Moon Elegant Robes rushed over, he would be throwing himself into the embrace of death—no one could save him.
"Are you idiots? Why are you blocking me? You bunch of cowards, don't dare to make a move, so let me go, I'll wipe them out. The man dressed in Silver Moon Elegant Robes was stopped and was both shocked and furious, thinking these people must be out of their minds.
"Everyone, this is Silvermoon City, and this is the young master of the city lord. The lord is in seclusion, and his son has the right to refuse anyone entry.
Since the young master does not allow you to enter the city, please leave. Otherwise, once the killing formation is activated, none of you will leave alive. An elderly man from Silvermoon City said coldly.
Clearly, they had no intention of attacking Long Chen or activating the Silvermoon City Grand Array. Their goal was simply to prevent Long Chen from entering the city.
"You don't have to go into the city. Just notify me—my brothers are inside. Tell them to come out." Long Chen said calmly.
"Notice?" Who do you think you are? If you want to leave, leave now; otherwise, die! Another elder from Silvermoon City was already somewhat impatient, but seeing Long Chen still refuse to leave, he roared angrily.
"Pfft!"
Just as the old man finished shouting, an arrow pierced his skull. The old man's eyes widened, as if he didn't sense the impending danger at all before being killed in one strike.
The one who struck was Guo Ran. His sleeve arrow was silent and unnoticed, without any warning. That man didn't even know whose hand he had died by until his death.
"You're really giving me face. Since you want to die, there's no need to stop me." Long Chen snorted coldly and made a move as if to make a move.
"Boom!"
Long Chen had just finished this action when Guo Ran donned the Demon Dragon Battle Armor. His battle blade slashed through the air, killing intent soaring to the sky. The dozen or so Divine Sovereign Realm experts were forced back by Guo Ran's single strike.
"Still dare to fight back? Open the grand formation for me and kill him..."
"Smack!"
Before the man in the silver moon robe could finish giving orders, Long Chen slapped him across the face. Long Chen had tried to restrain his strength, but still nearly killed him alive.
Long Chen hadn't expected that there were such weak Supreme-level experts in the world—no strength, no speed, no combat experience. Even when Long Chen slapped him in the face, he couldn't even activate his instinctively protective power.
Long Chen slapped him, and the guy hit the ground like porcelain. Although it didn't explode, its whole body was covered in cracks, ready to be shattered at any moment.
"Boom boom boom..."
At that moment, Xia Chen and Yue Xiaoqian also made their move. Those powerful beings were completely powerless to resist and were wiped out almost instantly. Whether it was the experts from the Sacred Pill Hall or Silver Moon City, they all vanished. Mo Nian stood with his hands behind his back, not even the desire to strike.
"Rumble rumble... At
that moment, the entire Silvermoon City roared and exploded. Endless divine might changed the color of heaven and earth. Billions of rune arrows condensed atop the city walls, pointing toward Long Chen and the others.
"Open the city gates, or your young city lord's remains will be lost."
Facing the city's grand formation locking onto him, Long Chen didn't even glance. He grabbed the man in the Silver Moon Elegant Robe with one hand and walked straight toward the city gate.
