Chapter 1568: Pearl City (2/2)

He hovered above the sky and looked down at the archipelago. A smile came on his face the moment he saw the high paG.o.da and the familiar sceneries: “Pearl Archipelago, what a fortress.”

Having said that, he landed on the ground. There were many islands but the most important was still the main Pearl Isle at the center. Pearl City in this spot was the core of the archipelago. The walls were built with divine stones. Even the most ignorant would understand how fortified it was.

The city was being heavily guarded. Anyone entering would be subjected to a strict examination and questioning. Suspicious people were not allowed entry.

In fact, this wasn’t the case normally but it was different now. Sometimes, even the city lord herself would come for questioning.

There were many people lining up outside of the city to Li Qiye’s amus.e.m.e.nt. It wasn’t surprising for this to happen after the matter at Heaven Suppression.

When it was Li Qiye’s turn, two guards stood in front and two behind him as if they were afraid of him suddenly causing trouble.

“Where are you from? Which place in Pearl are you heading to?” One guard asked with a grave tone.

“From where I should and to where I should.” Li Qiye chuckled and answered.

Such att.i.tude made the guards unhappy. The leader uttered coldly: “Don’t run your mouth. What’s your name?”

Li Qiye glanced at him leisurely and asked a question instead: “Who is in charge of Pearl right now?”

“Who are you!” The guards’ expression worsened. One guard was already pointing his spear at Li Qiye.

Li Qiye didn’t seem to mind at all and smiled: “I would like to see your boss.”

“Speak, who are you, which sect are you from?!” The leader immediately shouted with his hand gripping his sword hilt. If Li Qiye dared to move, he would cut him down instantly.

Li Qiye slightly raised his brow but he was still in a relatively good mood.

“Don’t be disrespectful.” A voice disrupted the high tension. This voice was clear and charming yet unquestionable as well.

A woman walked out, dressed in a five-colored skirt that accentuated her beauty. Her brows were sharp with eyes bright like the stars. She had a stately and dignified appearance despite the long skirt.

This n.o.ble woman also emitted a five-colored aura like a swaying feathery tail. She looked just like a beautiful peac.o.c.k. When she spread her tail, it could attract everyone’s eyes.

“City Lord.” The guards respectfully bowed after seeing her.

“No need for formality.” She gently waved her sleeve. A royal aura accompanied her each and every move.

As the guards were standing up, she glanced at Li Qiye with a sword-like stare.
