Chapter 146 - Deadlock at City Gate (2/2)
“Of course we’ll tyrannize you fools who don’t have eyes” Another chief guard clad in red robes walked over with a line of people He swept a glance over the procession, “Everyone in Lin faes, coe door opened again, and Lin Xuanzhi appeared in front of the crowd
The gate guard looked at Lin Xuanzhi His eyes were transfixed on Lin Xuanzhi’s face – he had never seen such a perfect person before
“You must be frisked in order to enter Sky Peak City, what kind of rule is this?” Lin Xuanzhi did not look angry and instead asked calht in his heart that this was a really stunning character while he said aloud, “This is the rule set down by the city lord We, the guards of Sky Peak City, have full power to search any suspicious people we see”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “Do we look suspicious?”
The city guard smiled coldly “I said you are suspicious, therefore you are suspicious Why don’t I go inside your carriage right thissuspicious”
Yan Tianhen instantly becahtened his fist, Lin Xuanzhi held down his hand
“I’m afraid that we cannot follow your wishes” Lin Xuanzhi said
As the saying goes, the person who guards the prime minister’s door is equivalent to three court officials, since one had to get the guard’s approval to see thethe door of a first-class fa’s eyes to see the world – the city gate guards had always looked down on cultivators from other continents outside the Middle Continent, let alone people frouard raised the corners of his lips “Then I’m afraid you won’t be able to enter the city today”
Having said that, he told the people behind hiet out of the way Those behind ant to enter the city, hurry up”
Lin family members immediately voiced their dissatisfaction
“If you don’t agree to a body search, then you cannot enter the city; I have never seen this kind of rule before” Lin Zezhi gritted his teeth His face was red and white fro for trouble” Lin Yan bit his lower lip “Every single iteic treasure meant to protect their lives, yet you can take a look if you just casually say you want to? Isn’t this akin to forcing others to show you their lifeblood?”
Duan Yuyang also jue and pulled Lin Xuanzhi over “These people are all Huangfu’s watchdogs; none of theood people How about we spend soive them some benefits?”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “They were clearly instructed by someone to obstruct via everyixuan?”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded “I can’t think of anyone else in the Huangfu family who is so cowardly and only kno to play souard heard this, his expression changed “How bold! You dare insult our Huangfu fa?”
Lin Xuanzhi so back and ask your fa Master whether the wounds on his face have healed so that he can overlook the scar and forget the pain”
The guard chief was shocked “How do you know about this? Unless…”
Three days ago, Huangfu Chengxuan ca trip outside and lost his teashes on his face nobody knehat kind of thing clawed out those wounds The best medicine was scattered on it, and it still took three days to finally heal, which xuan furious
Now, Everyone in the Huangfu fa xuan asked theate The chief guard couldn’t help but let his iuards were thus deadlocked at the city gate
The people behind theradually beca on?”
“Yeah, everyone is in a hurry to enter the city and find a place to rest What are you doing, blocking us in front of the entrance?”
“Isn’t it just a body search to see whether you have any demonic cultivator artifacts in your possession? It’s not like they’ll take off all your clothes What’s so difficult about it?”
These voices were not lowered and were even deliberately raised, so they clearly reached the ears of the Lin family
Lin Zezhi’s expression immediately darkened
Lin Yurou bit her lower lip harshly and clenched her fist “I told you, how could the Huangfu fa! Lin Xuanzhi is not worthy to be our leader!”
Lin Yufan, as originally frowning, spared a glance at Lin Yurou, “If you’re worthy, then you do it”
Lin Yurou ree, Lin Xuanzhi locked gazes with the guard for a moment, then nodded “Search, I absolutely will not allow you to search”
The guard chief retorted, “Then it’s also absolutely impossible to enter”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “In that case, ill stay here until you co this, Lin Xuanzhi went back to the carriage and told Yan Tianhen and Duan Yuyang, “I’m afraid this matter will not be resolved in such a short time It’s better to come up for a drink of hot tea and have souard was iain
Lin Xuanzhi was actually bold enough to block the gate and not let the people behind hi the public’s wrath?
The chief guard thought of sorily, “If you continue to harass and disturb the order here, we city gate guards will not be polite either!”
Lin Xuanzhi smiled coldly “I’d like to see exactly how iuard chief choked at once
Take action, naturally they couldn’t take the initiative to start so master was the one who instructed thee of the city was Huangfu Jin
And because the gate guards once had too ht around in front of the city gate, they had offended sofu Jin especially ordered — unless they met demonic cultivators, deate guards were not allowed to take the initiative to strike first no matter who it was Otherwise, once found out, they would immediately be dismissed from their positions!
It’s just that this order was only circulated internally within the city lord’s people, and outsiders were couard was definitely an enviable job: being backed by the city lord, possessing enough power to reach the skies, and having the ability to not put anyone in their eyes
As a result, none of the guards dared to take action, and Lin Xuanzhi drank spiritual tea at a leisurely pace Just like this, within an hour, such a deadlock had occurred
