Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 431: Xu Hai City

Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Xu Hai City

Lu Xiao had never seen such a colossal city.

He stood on high ground, hundreds of meters above the city’s tallest point.

Yet when he looked down, he still couldn’t see the end of the city on any side; it stretched boundlessly before his eyes.

Of course, that wasn’t the most bizarre aspect. What truly astonished Lu Xiao was the end of the sky his eyesight reached.

A fierce sun and a crimson moon mirrored each other in the sky, eerie and mysterious.

"Damn, the gap is too vast, take it easy, take it easy," Lu Xiao took several deep breaths.

He had been in a proper modern society just a while ago, then seemingly plunged headfirst into some mysterious space.

That kind of fear towards the unknown, even though Lu Xiao had reached the Super Tier, still couldn’t be completely walled off.

He didn’t know what he would face next, and he was even less aware of the situation within the city.

He also couldn’t reveal his identity as an outsider. From Mo Jiuzhong’s attitude, it was clear they harbored great hostility towards those who trespassed.

Perhaps, once his identity was exposed, he might be endlessly pursued.

This was also why Lu Xiao hadn’t asked anything just now. Asking too much would’ve raised Mo Jiuzhong’s suspicions, and once the seed of doubt was planted, exposure likely wouldn’t be far off.

"Take it one step at a time, at least I need to understand the situation here first."

Muttering to himself, Lu Xiao made his way towards Xu Hai City below.

About half an hour later, Lu Xiao arrived at the city gates.

The gate was bustling with people. Lu Xiao took a quick glance around, and his mind nearly bolted in shock.

Damn... most of them were Heavenly Men.

After looking at his own attire, the tension in Lu Xiao eased a bit.

Luckily, after drifting at sea for many days, his clothes and trousers were practically soaked through. If not, his outfit of Adidas and Nike would have made it easy to get caught within minutes.

Still, Lu Xiao tore his clothes and trousers to look even more ragged before approaching the gate.

"Stop right there!"

Sure enough, Lu Xiao felt somewhat resigned; he knew he’d be stopped upon seeing the guards at the gate.

"Beggars stay outside and may not enter the city," two guards said, looking indifferently at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao let out a sigh, then his Super Tier Internal Energy flared openly.

"I was just beaten up, not a beggar!"

Sensing the powerful Inner Qi emanating from Lu Xiao, the two guards were startled. Was this the Transcendent Realm?

He looked to be in his twenties. Someone in their twenties having reached the Transcendent level couldn’t possibly be a beggar.

In the whole of Xu Hai City, those who could reach the Transcendent before thirty could be counted on one hand.

"Sorry, may I ask where you come from?" the two guards immediately changed their demeanor.

They were the gatekeepers, after all. The last thing they wanted was trouble with the scion of a major family. Such an error could lead to a meaningless death.

"Longdan City," Lu Xiao reported the name of a city that was quite far from Xu Hai City.

As for using the identity of Xuanyuan Xiao, that was something Lu Xiao didn’t dare to do; it was too ostentatious.

Entering the city with that identity would definitely attract attention from all sides.

What he needed now was to remain unseen, to first understand the situation clearly.

"Do you have the identity stamp of Longdan City?"

"Not a damn thing! I’ve been chased for a month! Lost it long ago!" Lu Xiao roared again.

The two guards didn’t take offense to Lu Xiao’s outburst. Their expressions remained normal, with a hint of respect.

To them, such arrogance was normal for the talented progeny of a great family.

The mere fact that he hadn’t started beating them up was an indication of his good temper.

"Alright, you can obtain a temporary Xu Hai City identity stamp at the city defense office, and then replace it with the official one once you return to Longdan City," one of them said.

"I have to go get a temporary identity stamp myself?" Lu Xiao glared.

One of the guards immediately bowed, "My apologies, I’ll handle it for you. Just tell me your name, please."

"Lu Xiao."

He certainly couldn’t use the name Xuanyuan Xiao. Instead of thinking up a false name, why not use his real one?

After all... it was unlikely that anyone here would recognize him.

"Please wait a moment, it will be done shortly!" Upon hearing the name Lu Xiao, the two guards visibly gulped, then immediately headed towards the city defense office together.

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows, discerning from the guards’ demeanor that there must be a powerful Lu family in Longdan City.

His luck was explosively good.

Soon, an identity proof bearing the stamp of Xu Hai City was delivered into Lu Xiao’s hands.

The ID was quite exquisitely made, fashioned from some type of metal. Inscribed upon it were the words "Xu Hai City," and of course, the hand-etched name "Lu Xiao."

"Can I go into the city now?" Lu Xiao asked, stuffing the identity stamp into his pocket.

"Mr. Lu, please," they said.

It was only after Lu Xiao’s figure had vanished that the two guards deeply exhaled.

"Damn, that was close to trouble."

"No kidding, coming from Longdan City, with the surname Lu, and reaching the Transcendent Realm in his twenties."

"He can only be the offspring of Lord Lu of Longdan City."
