Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 323: King City

Chapter 323: Chapter 323: King City

"It’s nothing."

Ling Chen smiled slightly and patted Ling Wu’s little head.

At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen and Lin Xiaodu looked at Ling Chen with eyes filled with admiration.

They knew Ling Chen was powerful, but finding out that a seventh-level Primordial Pill Realm cultivator had died by his hand was truly shocking.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.

Ye Zhenzhen was incredibly excited.

Choosing to acknowledge Ling Chen as her master was such a wise decision!

A second-level Primordial Pill Realm being able to kill a seventh-level.

If he reached the higher levels of Primordial Pill Realm, wouldn’t he be able to contend with even Kings of the Palace Mansion Realm?

At that time, she would be the servant of a King!

An ordinary person’s servant is disregarded, but a King’s servant, even a high-level Primordial Pill Realm cultivator wouldn’t dare to mess with them, right?

Not to mention, there was a chance Ling Chen might impart his cultivation knowledge to her!

He might even directly bestow upon her cultivation resources!

"Hmph, the people of the Jiang Family have no shame, sending a high-level cultivator to kill you?"

Ling Wu huffed.

Jiang Wusheng actively participated in the Eight Palaces competition, and Ling Chen didn’t violate any rules by killing him; yet the Jiang Family dared to send someone for revenge, which is truly infuriating.

Ling Chen chuckled and said, "That man wasn’t from the Jiang Family, but the Family Head of the Wei Family from Nanshan, Wei Tongxuan."

"The Nanshan Wei Family?"

Ling Wu’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Weren’t they coming to apologize to us? Why would they still try to kill you?"

"That was just a facade, in reality, they still harbor murderous intentions towards us!"

Ling Chen explained.

If he hadn’t killed Wei Tongxuan, perhaps he might have been used by him.

"The Wei Family?"

Liu Qingcang’s expression also turned cold.

He hadn’t expected such audacity from the insignificant Wei Family.

He and Ling Chen referred to each other as mentor and disciple; how could the Wei Family dare to assassinate Ling Chen, did they not fear his retaliation?

"Ling Chen, come here a moment."

Liu Qingcang spoke.

"Yes, Master."

Ling Chen quickly responded.

Ling Chen hadn’t even told Ling Wu about Liu Qingcang’s identity.

Publicly, of course, he had to address Liu Qingcang as Master.

The two stepped aside, and Liu Qingcang released his Spiritual Power, forming a sound-proofing barrier that enveloped them.

"Young Master Chen, do you want me to take action and eliminate the Wei Family?"

Liu Qingcang said coldly.

Ling Chen was their Dark Night Son of the Night, and the Dark Night Lord highly valued him. Otherwise, he would not have been appointed as Ling Chen’s Protector!

If something happened to Ling Chen, it would be a huge loss for their Dark Night.

How could he let the Wei Family slide?

"There’s no need."

Ling Chen shook his head and said, "The others from the Wei Family have not attempted to kill me; there’s no need to implicate them."

He did not indulge in the murder of innocents.

"Alright."

Liu Qingcang nodded.

Since Ling Chen had spoken, there was no need for him to take action against the Wei Family.

Besides, the current Wei Family posed no significant threat to Ling Chen!

"By the way, Young Master Chen, how did you manage to kill Wei Tongxuan?"

Liu Qingcang finally voiced his doubt.

However, the battle between Ling Chen and Wei Tongxuan took place high in the sky, and he was too far away from them.

Following their sword qi collision, Wei Tongxuan was killed, and thus he couldn’t discern Ling Chen’s method.

Ling Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Cang, it was nothing special, just taking an opportunity. Wei Tongxuan wanted to use the shockwave produced by our sword qi collision to escape, so I took the chance to utilize my Divine Soul Telekinesis, activating a mid-grade telekinetic weapon to kill him."

As he spoke, Ling Chen flipped his hand, revealing a black dagger.

As Liu Qingcang’s eyes fell on the black dagger, he immediately recognized it and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, "Your ability to seize the opportune moment is too strong."

To be able to eliminate a seventh-level Primordial Pill Realm Spiritual Body owner with just the initial stage Divine Soul Telekinesis, this level of combat consciousness was too formidable.

Ling Chen simply smiled faintly.

"Good lad!"

Liu Qingcang patted Ling Chen’s shoulder and praised again, "To have successfully cultivated an upper-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique is truly impressive!"

As for the origin of Ling Chen’s Spirit Art, he didn’t inquire.

As a former genius himself, he knew that any prodigy would surely have their own fortuitous encounters.

"Uncle Cang, you flatter me."

Ling Chen replied with a smile.

"Not in the least!"

Liu Qingcang nodded and said, "Alright, continue to work hard. I won’t come over now, you all continue to rest. I will still protect you in secret."

"Mm, thank you for your efforts, Uncle Cang."

Ling Chen gave a bow with hands clasped towards Liu Qingcang.

Then, Liu Qingcang’s figure disappeared into the night.

A night without words.

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, everyone continued on their way.

Three days later, like a ferocious beast from ancient times, a vast city shining with a black gloss lay sprawling on a plain, coming into the view of the four travelers.

"King City!"

A sharp glint flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes.

This was the center of the Great Xia Dynasty, and also where King You, King Xia Jiuyou, resided.

Even his father might be held captive in some corner here.

"Let’s enter the city!"

Ling Chen said.

Then, leading Ling Wu and the others, they walked toward the gigantic entity.

Once they reached the south gate of the King City, Ling Chen saw countless Cultivators coming in and out.

Even strong individuals in the Primordial Pill Realm were common.

Long queues had formed at the gate.

Entering the city required a check by the City Guard Army.

Two hours later, it was finally Ling Chen’s group’s turn.

"Your identity tokens!"

A soldier called out in a cold voice.

Even the soldier responsible for guarding the gate had a cultivation of the Third Level of the Primordial Pill Realm!

"This is our first time coming to King City."

Ling Chen said with a smile.

He didn’t mind the unfriendly attitude of the soldier.

"Please go over there and complete the procedures."

The soldier pointed to a small booth not far away.

"Alright."

Ling Chen and his party promptly walked toward the booth.

"Where do you four come from? What’s your business in King City?"

Another soldier gave Ling Chen a cold look.

"We come from True Martial Academy in Zhenwu Prefecture, and we are here to report to the Marshal Star Academic Palace."

Ling Chen replied with a smile.

"Marshal Star Academic Palace?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately stood up and put on an extremely enthusiastic face, respectfully saying, "Honorable sirs, please come inside!"

Geniuses from the Marshal Star Academic Palace!

How could they, mere soldiers, dare to offend?

"You are too kind."

Ling Chen smiled, presenting the identity jades of the Marshal Star Academic Palace.

Ling Wu and Ye Zhenzhen also took out their identity jades and handed them to Ling Chen.

"These are our identity jades!"

Ling Chen passed over the three identity jades.

"Very well."

The soldier respectfully took them.

The identity tokens of the Marshal Star Academic Palace were likewise currency in King City.

"This is my friend. He came to participate in the recruitment exam of the King Star Academic Palace and the Marshal Star Academic Palace."

Ling Chen introduced Lin Xiaodu.

"Alright, no problem."

After returning the identity jades to Ling Chen and his party and inquiring Lin Xiaodu’s name, the soldier quickly processed the identity tokens.

"Take care, noble sirs!"

The soldier personally escorted Ling Chen and his group into the city before leaving.

Upon entering the city, an overwhelming sense of splendor and prosperity immediately engulfed them.

"Is this King City?"

Ling Chen and the rest revealed a trace of shock in their eyes.

Compared to King City, Zhenwu Prefecture City was simply not worth mentioning.

"Is this your first time in King City?"

Just then, a young man with a warm smile approached them.

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded.

They had been completely overwhelmed by the majestic architecture of King City, a sight that was obvious to any discerning eye.
