Chapter 320 Arriving at the Imperial City
Lin Yan didn't wait for Mei Jiangxue to appear again in the online game.
He understood that Tianxuan must be unwilling to bow to him.
He also guessed this result. Tian Xuan was so disgusted with him. Of course, he would not throw an olive branch to him and show his friendship to him under the current circumstances.
However, what he was very curious about was that if Tianxuan didn’t deal with Lin Zhilan by himself, what other means could he use to curb Lin Zhilan’s challenge to his young disciples?
But unexpectedly, the next morning, when Lin Yan and Ye Xier took to the street, they suddenly heard something.
Lin Zhilan was actually defeated by Dugu Sword Demon at dusk yesterday!
What followed was naturally a series of reactions from the failed Lin Zhilan.
Although no one knows where Lin Zhilan is now, Lin Yan, based on his understanding of his cousin, understood that after Lin Zhilan was defeated by the young warriors in Xiaoshui City, his confidence must be greatly reduced, and it is impossible for him to go to Qingwu Sect to challenge again.
Lin Yan didn't expect that the end of the matter would be like this.
The Dugu Sword Demon suddenly appeared and defeated Lin Zhilan!
Lin Yan first wondered whether Tian Xuan managed to persuade Dugu Sword Demon to defeat Lin Zhilan in advance with his good connection with the Dugu family, thus avoiding the scene of Qingwu Sect losing face. But then, Lin Yan denied this suspicion.
Because of Dugu Sword Demon's cold personality, he is disdainful and unwilling to be exploited by anyone.
Therefore, this matter can only be attributed to luck. Lin Zhilan happened to meet Dugu Sword Demon. Of course, this is equivalent to Tianxuan getting a good luck with a new chapter in the campus all-round master.
Thinking of Tianxuan's long breath when he heard the news, Lin Yan was a little unhappy. He was originally waiting for Tianxuan to be embarrassed, but unexpectedly, the changes in the middle of the matter still made his thoughts turn into a bubble.
However, this incident itself brought him unexpected glory.
Because the words that Dugu Sword Demon said after defeating Lin Zhilan were already in the midst of a stir in Xiaoshui City.
Dugu Sword Demon said this: "I defeated you, but you have to know that I am just ranked second among the young masters in Xiaoshui City. Only when you meet Lin Yan will you know the real terribleness of our young warriors in Xiaoshui City!"
It is hard to believe that this sentence would be said from the Dugu Sword Demon, because Dugu Sword Demon never took the initiative to show weakness, but this time he took the initiative to admit that his strength was weaker than Lin Yan. However, as this sentence accompanied the news of Lin Zhilan being defeated, it became more and more brighter. No one paid attention to this anymore, and everyone was trapped in discussions about Lin Yan.
At least, when Lin Yan and Ye Xier were walking on the street, they heard people passing by talking about themselves.
"Ah, I really didn't expect that even the Lonely Sword Demon would take the initiative to admit that there was a time when he was inferior to others."
"That's of course. Do you think the pride of Dugu Sword Demon is hypocritical? When there was no Lin Yan before, he was the throne of the young warrior in Xiaoshui City, but now he must have clearly understood Lin Yan's strength, so he said this. If I want to say, Dugu Sword Demon is also good, at least he will not disgust others to raise himself. However, what shocked me the most was Lin Yan. It seems that Lin Yan's title of Lin Yan's first young master is not blown out, and there is no moisture."
"Of course there is no moisture. You must know that the second-ranked Dugu Sword Demon said this, so is there any falsehood?"
"Tsk tsk, Lin Yan is really amazing. Just like a star, his rise is so fast. How long has it been before he occupied the throne of the number one master of young warriors in Xiaoshui City. All the geniuses and elites from all major sects were trampled by him."
"Hey, brother, why did I see you carrying paper and pen with you?"
"Yes, my biggest expectation now is to see Lin Yan. Haha, Xiaoshui City's number one young master, what a high honor. Of course, I hope to see such a genius among geniuses with my own eyes! If I could say a few words to Lin Yan, it would be even better, so I brought my pen and ink to record every word he said."
"This brother has a good idea, well, I want to do this too. Now Lin Yan is undoubtedly the hottest person in Xiaoshui City. If you can meet him or even say a few words, you can use it as a topic of conversation that you will be proud of for the rest of your life."
Whether Lin Yan walks through the streets or alleys, as long as there are people chatting, he can hear similar discussions.
"Hehe Lin Yan, you are so majestic now." Ye Xier joked.
"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Yan smiled.
Lin Yan would not be arrogant about this, because he understood that he would suddenly rise up, just like the genius in the past, and could become the focus of discussion among the residents of the city in a short period of time, but it would not be a lifetime. As long as there is a new and eye-catching event that breaks out again, the things people are talking about will change immediately. I believe that it will not take long to calm down the hot discussion of himself.
"However, Tianxuan, who learned this news, should be in a very unhappy mood, right?" Lin Yan said in his heart.
In the room of Tianxuan of Qingwumen.
Tian Xuan was glad that things suddenly changed at dusk yesterday. When the news of Lin Zhilan and Dugu Sword Demon competing in the open space in the east of the city reached him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then things also went in the direction he estimated. In the end, Dugu Sword Demon defeated Lin Zhilan with his rapid improvement in strength.
At that time, he knew that he would not have to pass the skills to Mei Jiangxue at night. After all, even if Lin Zhilan came to him to challenge Qingwu Sect again, he had enough reason to refuse.
But!
He also heard that the residents of the city were discussing Lin Yan, and he treated Lin Yan as an idol and was fanatical!
Although it is impossible for a person to know that he is incompatible with Lin Yan and water, he still feels very uncomfortable. Of course, he is not jealous of Lin Yan, but just feels that Lin Yan, who is disgusted by him, cannot rise quickly like this!
However, he is not that kind of vicious person, so it is impossible to suppress Lin Yan. Therefore, it is almost a foregone conclusion that Lin Yan will continue to grow rapidly after rising!
It can be expected that in a few years, Lin Yan will establish his transcendent status in the entire Xiaoshui City at the age of 25, but with a terrifying strength that exceeds the heads of many sects!
"Am I really wrong to do this?"
"It will not be of any benefit to me and Qingwu Sect when he gets stronger in the future and will fight me against me, then he may be able to do the face of Qingwu Sect again."
"Maybe, when I knew it was impossible to get him to this sect at first, I should change my strategy and maintain a good relationship with him, so that I would not be able to do this now. Maybe, I did something wrong."
But Tian Xuan, who muttered to himself, quickly shook his head: "No, even if I did something wrong, it would be impossible to bow to him. If I ask me to bow to a young man who is much lower than his age, that would be absolutely impossible!"
"Let him grow up by himself. I don't pay attention to his strength, but if he continues to pester Jiangxue girl and continues to wipe out my Qingwu Sect's face, I will still suppress him!"
Tianxuan immediately suppressed the regret he had developed.
Like before, he still had a disgusting attitude towards Lin Yan, and his stiff relationship never changed at all.
On this side, Lin Yan had decided to set out to find the sword of war.
My father needed quietness, and Ye Xier could not take risks with him, so Lin Yan specially rented a quiet and comfortable house in Qingyang Town for Ye Xier.
Early the next morning, Lin Yan bid farewell to his father and Ye Xier and set out on the road to Zhongzhou City.
Three of the five battle swords that have not been found, one of which should be in Zhongzhou City, and Zhongzhou is the big city closest to Xiaoshui City. Naturally, Lin Yan chose this place for his first stop.
Moreover, since he had to pay attention to the movements near Dragon Island, he could not have run too far.
He flew in the air and rarely had a rest in the middle, but it took a whole week before Lin Yan followed the map's guidance and arrived at Zhongzhou City.
Zhongzhou City is located at the center of the martial arts world and belongs to the inland city. It is the largest of the 100 cities in the martial arts world.
Unlike other cities, other cities are either controlled by aristocratic families, like Tiandi City, or controlled by major sects, like Xiaoshui City, or the city lord leader. This is not the case in Zhongzhou City at all, because it is the only city in the entire martial arts world with an imperial palace.
Imperial City is the most accurate name for Zhongzhou City.
The imperial power system in Zhongzhou City Imperial Palace is not only suitable for this city, but is used in the entire martial arts world!
Although the cities seem to be scattered and independent, there are no military troops stationed, and there are no major officials on the border, nominally, all the people in the martial arts world are subjects of the Zhongzhou Imperial City!
According to legend, the initial social form of the martial world was the form of vassal states. Later, after the Zhongzhou Kingdom where Zhongzhou City was located became stronger, it began to annex the surrounding vassal states one by one. After years of war, it was finally able to unify the entire martial world!
At that time, the martial arts world was a country. The Zhongzhou Dynasty was established and the imperial power influenced everyone.
Although the situation gradually changed and became its current form, no matter which big city it was, it abolished the imperial power of Zhongzhou City.
Of course, imperial power is not omnipotent, and Zhongzhou City cannot affect other big cities, so other cities still maintain their own form. It can be said that they have nothing to do with Zhongzhou Imperial City. Only in Zhongzhou City, imperial power is the absolute master.
The Tang regime in Zhongzhou has existed since the unification of the martial arts world and has continued to this day.
The imperial city, that is, Zhongzhou City, only the imperial guards surrounded the palace, and other regular troops were mainly used to guard the surroundings of the imperial city. After all, there will be no military wars in the martial arts world, but there are still civil and military officials, responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the imperial city.
But it seems that except for being branded with the special system of imperial power, Zhongzhou City is not much different from other big cities. Of course, there is definitely only one master here, that is, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne of the palace!
Lin Yan entered the imperial city from Shanyong Pass to the north. The soldiers who were in charge of guarding the city gate also specifically reminded Lin Yan not to cause trouble in the imperial city. Otherwise, they would be expelled at the least, and would be imprisoned in a death row or even beheaded, even if they were warriors!
Lin Yan didn't think this sentence was sensational, because here was a completely independent country. Even if a warrior was identified as an enemy by the palace, the palace could even contact powerful warriors from other cities to act together and kill the warrior!
Lin Yan walked into the imperial city.
As the largest city in the martial arts realm, Lin Yan's current location is just within Shanyong Pass and a border defense zone. Until Lin Yan passed through the border defense zone, villages, suburbs, small and medium-sized towns and officially entered the urban area, three days had passed.
Lin Yan finally arrived at the core area, which is the real imperial city.
