169: Chapter 169 Heavenly Jade City, Instantly Killing the City Guard General

Half an hour later.

White Jade Immortal State, Main City, Baiyu City.

Lin Feng finally set foot on this land.

He had changed into a standard-issue black robe of the Demon Suppression Division provided by Liu Ming.

Embroidered upon that black robe with dark gold thread was a ferocious exotic beast, identical to the ones in the Lower Realm's Demon Suppression Division.

However, this black robe seemed to possess an inherent effect of concealing one's presence, suppressing his Peak Human Immortal cultivation until he appeared like a Mortal who had just undergone Ascension.

"My Lord, this is our Demon Suppression Division's Hidden Demon Robe."

Liu Ming followed behind Lin Feng, respectfully speaking via voice transmission.

"This robe can block the detection of anyone below the Heavenly Immortal realm. After all, you... you reached the Peak of Human Immortal just after your Ascension; it's truly... too shocking."

"If the Immortal Emperor's spies or the people from those three great families found out, it would likely bring about a fatal disaster."

Lin Feng nodded.

He understood that lying low was the way to go.

In the Lower Realm, he could walk with his head held high because of his level suppression.

Here, he was like a new account that had just left the beginner village but with maxed-out stats; he still needed to keep a low profile.

He sized up this Baiyu City.

The city was massive.

It was more than ten times larger than the capital city of the Lower Realm.

The entire structure was built from a warm white jade, radiating a holy light under the illumination of the eternal Immortal Sun in the sky.

Upon the streets, Immortal Qi swirled, and every passerby was clad in Immortal armor, possessing extraordinary auras.

The very lowest among them were in the Human Immortal realm!

Earth Immortals could also be seen everywhere!

Occasionally, he could even sense one or two auras of Heavenly Immortals, as deep and vast as the abyss and the sea, flashing by!

"This..."

Lin Feng sucked in a breath of cold air.

"This is the poorest state in the Immortal Realm? Human Immortals are everywhere, and Earth Immortals are treated like dogs?"

"My Lord, you must be joking."

Liu Ming gave a bitter smile. "Baiyu City is the state capital, after all. Truly powerful figures don't think much of this place. Most of those you see... are disciples of the three great families."

"The three great families?"

Lin Feng remembered Liu Ming mentioning them on the way.

"Yes."

Liu Ming's voice turned somber, carrying a trace of hatred.

"The Wang Family, the Li Family, and the Zhao Family."

"Ten thousand years ago, they were the accomplices who besieged the Immortal King!"

"After the Immortal King's physical body perished, the Immortal Emperor bestowed this White Jade Immortal State upon them, along with us remnants of the Demon Suppression Division."

"In name, they are guarding this place to prevent us from rebelling."

"In reality, they... are the local tyrants here!"

Liu Ming pointed toward the city gate that towered into the clouds.

"My Lord, look."

Lin Feng looked up.

He saw that the city gate was heavily guarded.

However, those guards were not wearing the standard-issue armor of the Immortal Dynasty.

Instead, they were the private soldiers of the families, embroidered with the large characters for 'Wang', 'Li', and 'Zhao'!

Every one of them had an arrogant expression, holding long halberds as they bossed around and randomly searched the 'Immortals' entering the city.

"Halt!"

Just as Lin Feng and Liu Ming were about to enter the city.

A loud shout interrupted them.

A guard captain embroidered with the 'Wang' character blocked their path.

This captain was only at the fifth level of the Human Immortal realm, but as he looked at Liu Ming, who was at the first level of the Earth Immortal Realm, his eyes were filled with undisguised contempt.

"Oh, isn't this... Old Dog Liu from the Ascension Hall?"

Captain Wang used his halberd to tap on Liu Ming's breastplate, making 'clanging' sounds.

"Isn't today the day you hand over the newcomers? Why have you come back so soon?"

"Where are the newcomers?"

Liu Ming, a dignified Earth Immortal, could only suppress his rage at this moment and force a smile.

"Captain Wang, you must be joking. Today... today the Ascension Pool had a bit of a malfunction, and no newcomers came up."

"Malfunction?"

Captain Wang narrowed his eyes. "Liu Ming, do you take me for a fucking fool?"

"I just received a transmission that over at your Ascension Hall, the sky has practically fallen! There was such a huge commotion, and you tell me... a malfunction?"

He suddenly turned his head, his hawk-like eyes staring intently at the person behind Liu Ming...

Lin Feng.

"Who is this kid?"

Captain Wang sneered, "His aura is shallow and his Immortal Essence is unstable; he looks just like a Mortal. Liu Ming, don't tell me this is your newly adopted son?"

"Hahahaha!"

The surrounding Wang Family private soldiers all burst into laughter.

Liu Ming's face instantly turned the color of pig liver!

He was used to it, but the Lord Inspector...

"Captain Wang Wu! You... don't push people too far!!"

Liu Ming roared in anger.

"Oh? And what if I do?"

Wang Wu, the fifth-level Human Immortal captain, not only showed no fear but took a step forward, pressing his halberd against Liu Ming's throat!

"Old man, don't refuse a kindness!"

"Don't forget, your Demon Suppression Division is just a pack of dogs kept by the Immortal Emperor!"

"Even if I beat you to death in the street today, your Demon Suppression Division wouldn't dare to say a single word!"

"Do you believe me?!"

Liu Ming trembled with rage, but he didn't dare to move.

He knew that what Wang Wu said was the truth.

In this Baiyu City, the three great families were the heavens!

"And you, kid."

Wang Wu's gaze turned toward Lin Feng, his eyes filled with greed.

Although he couldn't see through Lin Feng's cultivation.

Anyone Liu Ming protected like this was definitely not a Mortal!

"Looking at your build, you seem sturdy enough."

Wang Wu grinned sinisterly. "As it happens, my Wang Family's Black Gold Mine is short a laborer."

"You, come with me!"

As he spoke, he actually reached out his hand to grab Lin Feng's shoulder!

"No!"

Liu Ming was terrified; he knew Lin Feng's temper!

This was a ruthless man who, while still in the Lower Realm, dared to instantly kill Immortals and Demons from the Upper Realm with a single blade!

If he killed Wang Wu in a fit of rage...

Then they would be completely exposed!

"Endure!"

Liu Ming hurriedly sent a frantic voice transmission to Lin Feng!

"My Lord! Endure! Whatever you do, don't attack! There are Heavenly Immortal Old Ancestors from the three great families stationed in the city! We..."

However, before he could finish his message.

Lin Feng moved.

He did not retreat.

He didn't even look at Wang Wu.

He only spoke in an extremely cold voice, as if talking to himself:

"A piece of gate-guarding trash who isn't even at the Peak of Human Immortal."

"Dares to reach out and touch this seat?"

"Are you... seeking death?"

"What?!"

Wang Wu was stunned; he never dreamed that this 'Mortal' would dare to talk back!

"You fucking..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Lin Feng struck.

"Earth-Shrinking Step!"

"Avici Prison-Suppressing Blade!"

Fast!

It was fast to the extreme!

Before anyone could react!

Lin Feng's figure had already passed by Wang Wu.

He still stood in his original spot, as if he had never moved.

"..."

The sinister grin on Wang Wu's face froze.

He lowered his head.

He saw that at some point, a transparent hole the size of a fist had appeared in his chest.

Inside the hole, his Immortal Heart, his Immortal Nascent...

Had already vanished into nothingness.

"You..."

He struggled to raise his hand and point at Lin Feng.

Thud.

The corpse collapsed to the ground.

[Ding! Successfully slain a level five Human Immortal!]

[critical hit multiplier increased to 105,500x! Obtained 5 billion critical hit points!]

Silence.

A deathly silence.

At the city gate, the hundred-plus Wang Family private soldiers, along with the Immortals queuing to enter the city.

All of them were petrified.

Liu Ming was also petrified.

His mouth hung open, and the word "endure" was still stuck in his throat.

He, he, he...

He just killed a member of the Wang Family like that?!

At the city gate?!

"It's over..."

Liu Ming's vision went dark, and he almost fainted on the spot.

"Enemy attack!!!"

"Captain Wang Wu has been killed!!"

"Seal the city gates! Quick! Seal the city gates!"

After the brief silence came earth-shaking roars!

The hundred-plus Wang Family private soldiers' eyes turned red, and they instantly surrounded Lin Feng and Liu Ming so tightly that not even water could leak through!

Atop the city walls, alarm bells rang out loudly!

Several auras even more terrifying than Liu Ming's.

Rose up violently from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion!

"Heavenly Immortals!"

Liu Ming's face turned pale instantly.

Lin Feng, however, licked his lips.

He glanced at his status panel.

"5 billion..."

He smiled.

"Now this is the rhythm I'm familiar with!"

"Liu Ming!"

"I'm... I'm here! My Lord!"

"Are you afraid?"

"I..."

"If you're afraid, then get the hell away from this seat!"
