C517 Spatial Relay Station
The next day.
Ye Lan and the other two woke up early and headed to the Space Courier Station of Maple City.
The Space Courier Station was located in the West City of the Maple City. The Space Courier Station was a place where many Nether Reaching Stage Expert were placed by the royal family of the Longyuan Empire. After that, after generations of continuous improvement and management by the experts, it became the only shortcut to the Imperial City.
In the Space Courier Station, there were thousands of dimensional warships of different sizes.
These warships were made by the Artifact Dao Hall of the Imperial City. The materials used to build these warships were also the best materials.
The Spatial Runes carved on the hull was also made by the Nether Reaching Stage Expert in the Artifact Dao Hall.
Every day, there would be a huge amount of customers in the Space Courier Station of Maple City.
Hundreds of thousands or even millions of cultivators would come here to board the warship and head to the Imperial City, or to other cities within the Longyuan Empire.
However, the Space Courier Station of Maple City today was unusually quiet. There was not a single person in the huge Space Courier Station. It was extremely empty and quiet, completely different from the bustling and bustling of the past.
When Ye Lan and the other two came to Space Courier Station, they felt that something was not right.
They discovered that there were not only merchants and wandering practitioners who were not present, but also cultivators and geniuses from various sects and families.
There wasn't even a soldier of Maple City who was responsible for maintaining the order of Space Courier Station.
"Little Lan Zi, we are surrounded."
Once they entered the Space Courier Station, Ox Devil said in a low voice.
He could feel that there were many powerful cultivators lurking around the relay station.
Similarly, Ye Lan could also sense the many powerful practitioners hiding in the dark.
He could even feel that those people were very nervous, as if they were about to face a great battle.
While Ye Lan and Ox Devil were talking, a figure slowly walked over.
It was a middle-aged man wearing a black Battle Armor. He had short blood-red hair, and his eyes were cold and blood-red.
The aura of the middle-aged man was very powerful. It was many times stronger than the aura of those hidden practitioners in Space Courier Station.
He was not even weaker than Old Lady Tian Yu, whom Ye Lan had met a while ago.
Behind the middle-aged man in black armor were a few old men and women. All of them had powerful Qi and profound cultivation base. Their cultivation base was at the Half-Step to Nether Reaching Stage or even the Netherpassage First Layer!
Lastly, there was a group of young soldiers and soldiers. Their cultivation levels were mostly at the second level of the Embryonic stage or even the Third Layer.
Without a doubt, Ye Lan knew the identity of the black armored middle-aged man in front of him. He was the Maple City's City Lord!
At the same time, he was also the commander of the Maple City's guards!
Those old men, old women, and young soldiers were all top experts under his command. They were in charge of guarding a region in Maple City.
Now, all of these people had gathered in the Space Courier Station for Ye Lan.
"Lord Yan, I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time!"
The black armored middle-aged man cupped his fists at Ye Lan, and a warm smile emerged on his face.
"Lord of Maple City, I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time."
Ye Lan returned the greeting with a calm expression.
"Yesterday, Lord Yan injured a general of Maple City and a thousand elite soldiers. He has committed a serious crime.
Today, I have specially come and have been waiting for a long time. I hope that Lord Yan will surrender and listen to Your Majesty's orders in the future."
Lord of Maple City said straightforwardly.
He had brought everyone here today just for Ye Lan's sake. He knew that Ye Lan had gone through many difficulties in the Skywind Empire and had almost died. The main reason he had returned to the Dragon Abyss was to return to the Imperial City.
However, it was a pity that he wouldn't allow Ye Lan to do as he wished.
That was because the Spirit King had secretly told him that once Ye Lan entered the Dragon Abyss, he would either be expelled or killed!
"Your Majesty? May I ask, who does Lord of Maple City work for? Is he working for Your Majesty? "
Ye Lan replied.
He always wore a bright smile on his face.
"As the city lord of Maple City, I am the commander of a region. I have been guarding the border of Maple City for many years, and I was promoted by Your Majesty. Naturally, I will listen to Your Majesty's orders and work for him. I will be loyal to Your Majesty."
Lord of Maple City said righteously.
His words were filled with passion.
However, those who were interested knew that what he said was just a high-sounding statement.
Within the Dragon Abyss, in the Imperial Court, who didn't know that Lord of Maple City was once a general under the command of the Spirit King? He had followed the Spirit King for many years and fought on the battlefield.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was the right-hand man of the Spirit King.
If the Spirit King rebelled, many people knew that Lord of Maple City would be the first to respond!
He was able to become the city lord of Maple City and become the commander of this region because the Spirit King had recommended Dragon Abyss Emperor many times in the Imperial Court.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach such a high position. He was almost a noble and had thousands of elite soldiers.
"Is that so? Although I did not understand the matters of the imperial court, I heard some stories from the court and knew that Lord of Maple City was once a general under the command of the Spirit King. He had followed the Spirit King on the battlefield for many years.
It was all thanks to the help of the Spirit King that he was able to have his current position.
Many people were even secretly discussing that if the Spirit King rebelled, you, Lord of Maple City , would be the first to respond to the call!"
Ye Lan smiled.
"Things in the court have always changed. All the ministers and generals in the court are people with ulterior motives. What are they talking about? How could they believe it?
If Your Majesty relied solely on the rumors in the court to distinguish between good and evil, Dragon Abyss would have been thrown into chaos long ago. "
Lord of Maple City said with a calm expression.
His eyes were fixed on ___. He did not show any signs of anger because of the rumors that Ye Lan had said.
Of course, perhaps only Lord of Maple City knew if the rumors and rumors that Ye Lan had said were true or not.
"Whether it's loyalty or deceit, I think, Lord of Maple City , you know better than me in your heart."
Ye Lan said with a playful smile.
In his previous life, he clearly remembered that the Spirit King had betrayed the Myriad Devil Cult. The first person to respond to the call of the Spirit King was Lord of Maple City !1
"Lord Yan, there's no need to say anymore. I have come today to punish you."
"Condemn me? You have already said that you are loyal to Your Majesty and do things for him. If I may ask, has Your Majesty ever ordered you to punish me?"
Ye Lan put his hands behind his back and said with a face full of respect.
"No."
Lord of Maple City frowned and answered truthfully.
"Let me ask again. Since Your Majesty didn't give you the order to punish me, you have mobilized a large force to come here and denounce me, the Lord Yan that Your Majesty had appointed. May I ask if you have any respect for Your Majesty?
Or is it that you, Lord of Maple City , don't have Dragon Abyss Emperor in your heart? Do you want to publicly embarrass Your Majesty and plot a rebellion? "
Ye Lan continued.
" I have long heard about Lord Yan. He has extraordinary talent and is the number one Martial Genius in Longyuan Empire.
Today, I see that he is indeed extraordinary.
You are not only powerful because of your talent and cultivation, but also because of your mouth!"
Lord of Maple City said with a warm smile. However, anyone could see the cold killing intent hidden deep in his eyes.
Ye Lan, that hateful brat, had accused him of rebelling with just a few words. How could he tolerate this?
Although he, Lord of Maple City , had the intention to rebel before, he hadn't implemented it after all.
Ye Lan's words were undoubtedly framing him. If it reached Your Majesty's ears, who knew if Dragon Abyss Emperor would sympathize with him and secretly remove him from the position of Lord of Maple City , choosing another capable person?
"Lord of Maple City, you flatter me too much. This kid's mouth wasn't really good at talking. Otherwise, Lord of Maple City would have led his people away instead of blocking and killing them. "
Ye Lan replied.
"I'm sorry, I'm a subordinate of Your Majesty. This life belongs to him. Whatever Your Majesty wants me to do, I will naturally do it.
But don't forget, I am also the City Lord of Maple City. I have to take care of everything in Maple City. I have the responsibility and the authority to do so!
You have harmed my soldiers, and this crime cannot be forgiven.
I believe that even if I kill you here, Your Majesty won't say anything."
Lord of Maple City said coldly.
It could be seen that he was determined to kill Ye Lan.
Today, he would never let Ye Lan leave Maple City so easily. He had to complete the mission given to him by the Spirit King. When he saw Ye Lan, he would either expel him or kill him.
All in all, he absolutely couldn't let Ye Lan enter the Dragon Abyss smoothly, and he absolutely couldn't let him go to the Imperial City.
