Chapter 77 – Lingwu CityTranslated by:Edited by:TLCed by: OMA
Long Chen raised his head and gazed at the vast city without borders before him.
This city was like white jade, with tall city walls. Within these city walls, there were buildings that seemed to pierce the clouds. The buildings were also flawlessly white like jade. Under the radiance of the sun, these buildings shone with a dazzling radiance.
Fortunately, he had already seen Yuanling City so Long Chen was not too surprised when he saw the enormity of Lingwu City.
However, this city before him was like a huge white cloud, so Long Chen was amazed by its sheer size and splendor.
The four others had already seen Lingwu City before. However, today, they could finally enter and live there, so they were filled with excitement.
Looking at the age of these 5 youngsters, Gan Lin smiled faintly, and said, “Well, now follow me inside. After settling down, I will introduce you to our Lingwu Family members.”
Under Gan Lin’s guidance, Long Chen and the others entered Lingwu City. In Long Chen’s eyes, Yuanling City was already a synonym for wealth, while Lingwu City was its heart. It was no wonder that it was the embodiment of Yuanling City.
“Lingwu City is also subdivided into the city outskirts and the inner region.The city outskirts are further divided into 9 large regions. These 9 regions are governed separately by the 9 outer factions. We, the Green Faction, are in the Green region. All of you will now be situated in the Green region. The city gate through which we now entered is the city gate used exclusively by our Green Faction.”
While he was walking down the road, Long Chen would, from time to time, see the warriors that walked past him. Some of them were also in the ninth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm while most were usually at the Human Dan Realm, or an even higher level.
Seeing that the people in this place were much stronger than him, Long Chen completely threw away his previous disposition.
From his previous point of view, the Lingwu Family was not harmonious and tranquil as it seemed on the surface. Underneath this serenity, it was full of sinister secrets and killing intent, making Long Chen a little apprehensive.
“In this frightening place, it seems that I must just keep my tail between my legs and act like a grandson….”
[TL Note: (装孙子) To pretend to be a grandson who listens attentively and does things as a senior’s wishes]
As he thought about that, Long Chen immediately became depressed and wanted to escape.
However, he had tried so hard to enter the Lingwu Family, and he could now fight to his heart’s content. It would be a pity if he wanted to leave. Moreover, Long Chen was not afraid of others challenging him, so he decided to stay on.
“Now, I too am considered to have become a member of the Lingwu Family. I am a person of the Lingwu Family. Later, I will ask about the matter regarding the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect to see if there’re any ways to deal with them.”
Along the road, people would frequently greet Gan Lin. After seeing Long Chen and the four others, they would click their tongue and say smiling, “Have the new rookies come again? Your Qinyang Branch will be busy for a long time. I hope that these new calves aren’t too much trouble.”
Long Chen secretly committed these words to memory.
Shortly, Gan Lin brought them into a courtyard. The courtyard was very s.p.a.cious, and after counting the rooms, there appeared to be hundreds of them.
This time, Gan Lin turned back and said, “This area is our Green Sun Branch’s territory. This compound is under the jurisdiction of Enforcer Liu and is known as the Green Willow Residence. We are all Enforcer Liu’s disciples. Now, I will arrange residences for all of you, and then I will explain to you the matters concerning Lingwu City. ”
Currently, during the day, one could see that within the courtyard, there were very few signs of human inhabitation. Gan Lin was very familiar with this place. Very quickly, he moved over to a row of small rooms, and pointing at those small rooms, he said, “Here is the area for Fourth Grade Disciples to live in. From now on, you five will live here. Only after you get promoted and become Third Grade Disciples, can you leave from here. You all can select a room, and register it properly. I will be waiting for you at the Martial Techniques Training Hall.”
Listening to what Gan Lin said, the four others promptly went to pick out a room.
Long Chen thought that since all of those rooms were not bad, he could simply pick the number of a door plate at random and immediately follow Gan Lin to the Martial Techniques Training Hall for the Fourth Grade Disciples.
Gan Lin already knew that Long Chen had followed him. He walked to the chair at the very front and sat down on it. He sized Long Chen up before he said, “You can sit down first. After everyone else comes, I’ll brief all of you on the matters of the Lingwu Family. If you have any questions, you can ask them.”
Long Chen nodded as there was nothing for him to say. Soon, after he was seated, the other four arrived with excited looks on their faces.
Seeing that these people all had expressions of longing, Gan Lin shook his head. But looking at Long Chen’s indifference made him feel very satisfied. Seeing that everyone was present, he simply nodded and said, “First, I’ll tell you about the characteristics of the Lingwu Family’s Outer Clans, and also about the daily needs. If you have any questions, you can ask me.”
Everyone nodded their heads earnestly.
Even though it was not deliberate, the rich and powerful Lingwu Family had subconsciously put pressure on them.
