C1272 Second Prince
After entering the main hall of the city, Lin Long realized that, other than the City Lord, there were actually no one else inside that had ever seen a Goblin Tribe, and they weren't weak either.
One of them, a demi-human youth with a grave expression, was seated in the same position as the City Lord.
The moment Lin Long entered, he discovered that the other party was looking at him with eyes that wished for nothing more than to kill him.
Lin Long did not need to think to know that this demi-human youth was the Second Prince.
The mayor immediately introduced them, "Chenxiao, this is the second prince, Luo Wen, and the several Elders from Nanchuan City."
"Greetings to the second prince and several elders." Lin Long immediately replied.
"Chen Xiao, it seems like you really have a lot of guts!" An old man next to the young man suddenly said.
"Subordinate's courage came from having his back to the Monster King, and his back to the second prince." Lin Long said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
The old man snorted, then asked, "We came here for no other reason, we just wanted to find out, did you collude with the demon clan Dick from the Ming Region, and then kill Li Xi and the other demon races?"
"Master, this wasn't the case. At that time, even I didn't know what was going on, and was directly knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I realized that Hall Master Li Xi and the others who were by my side were already dead." Lin Long immediately replied.
"Why did they all die and instead, you didn't die?" The old man frowned.
"It was fortunate that I was not killed on the spot by Dick because I was wearing the same Fu Wenjia outfit." Lin Long replied.
"As far as I know, Hall Master Li Xi also had Fu Wenjia with him. Why didn't you die after he did?" the old man asked.
"Perhaps because of my lowly status, Dick did not pay too much attention to me and did not discover that I am not dead. If my identity was the same as Hall Master Li Xi, I would most likely have fallen by now." Lin Long replied.
"Lies!" The old man slapped the chair he was sitting on and said coldly.
"The truth is indeed like that. If you don't believe me, Elder, I have nothing to say." Lin Long said indifferently.
"Second Prince, your subordinate feels that Chenxiao is lying, so I suggest that you immediately arrest him." The old man said to the second prince.
"Your subordinate also feels that Elder En is right." As soon as the old man finished speaking, the other demon clan member followed suit.
How could Lin Long not see that these Spirit Demon beings were targeting him.
He immediately said in a cold voice, "The truth is indeed as this subordinate has said. If you all were to deliberately target me, then I would have nothing to say."
"Chenxiao, you're so brave, to actually dare to speak to the elders like that!" A Goblin Tribe member immediately shouted at Lin Long.
Just then, the second prince looked coldly at Lin Long, but didn't say anything to Lin Long, but looked towards the City Lord: "City Lord Wei Te, what do you think?"
"Second Prince, this kid should be lying." The City Lord of Sardinian City said as well.
"Since that's the case, then do you mind if I take Chenxiao away?" The second prince couldn't help but smile.
"Of course not." "City Lord of Shading City," Werther immediately said.
"Fine, escort him back to Nanchuan City!" The second prince, Rowan, said immediately.
When those words came out, a demon clan member immediately walked towards Lin Long.
Lin Long only frowned, he did not resist, but allowed the other party to place restrictions on his own body.
It was extremely easy for Lin Long to remove this kind of restriction, so he was not worried.
Afterwards, the second prince, Luo Wen, and the other demi-humans immediately escorted him out of the main hall of the city.
Look at the situation first, if it really doesn't work, then I will think of a way to leave, Lin Long thought.
Of course, he could leave as soon as he was caught off guard, but if he left, then all the efforts he had put in for so many days would be wasted. He did not want to waste all these days of hard work, so he decided to temporarily see if there was any way to save them.
It was at this time that a voice suddenly sounded out beside Lin Long's ears, "Chen Xiao, don't worry, you'll be fine."
Lin Long could tell that it was the mayor's words, so these words naturally surprised him a little.
It was only because of Luo Wen's status that he said such ungrateful words, Lin Long thought.
As City Lord Werther spoke to him in a confidential manner, and since City Lord Werther was also very strong, Rowan and the other demi-humans didn't notice this.
The news of Lin Long being captured by the Second Prince somehow reached the ears of Deng Lai and the other Spirit Demon beings. When Lin Long was about to leave Shading City, they stood on both sides of the road.
However, they did not dare to confront the second prince, Rowan. Thus, they could only stand by the side of the road.
Some bold demons took advantage of the moment when Rowan and the other demons weren't paying attention to them and fiercely stared at them.
This situation made Lin Long smile in understanding.
Rowan and the other demon clan members were powerful, so they could naturally feel the dissatisfaction of the surrounding demon clan members. However, with Rowan's identity being revealed and no other reason being present, they could only pretend not to have discovered it.
After leaving Shading City, they headed straight for Nanchuan City.
An hour later, they arrived at the city gates of Nanchuan City. Not long after they entered, seven or eight Monstrous Beasts appeared in front of them.
The leader was also a demi-human youth. He looked a little similar to Rowan, but his expression wasn't as cold as Rowan's.
Since he dared to stop Rowan in Nanchuan City, he should be a demon with a status similar to Rowan's.
He knew that the Demon King of the Nanchuan Region had five sons, of which his eldest son, Wei Li, and his second son, Luo Wen, were the most favored. In the future, the position of Demon King would probably be passed on to one of them.
It was also because of this that Wei Li and Rowan usually fought with each other in order to surpass the other and leave a good impression in the heart of the Demon King of the Nanchuan Region.
And now, since this young man dared to stand in front of Rowan, he was most likely the Prince Wei Li that fought with him. The other demons simply didn't have the courage to do so.
As expected, when Rowan saw that Wei Li was standing in his way, he coldly said, "Wei Li, what do you mean by blocking our way in broad daylight?"
"Not much, I just heard that you took a suspect back with you, so I'm here to see what's going on." Wei Li laughed.
"Creating something out of nothing?" Wei Li, don't you dare speak carelessly! " Rowan sneered.
"I heard that the demon clan called Chen Xiao was innocent. It was only because the dead Li Xi was good to you that you targeted him like that. Wei Li said tit for tat.
"Wei Li, you're lying!" Rowan couldn't help but retort in anger.
"I'm not spouting nonsense. I'm just not used to you using your identity as a prince to do such infuriating things!" Wei Li also said coldly.
Such a dialogue between the two demons naturally caused quite a few of them to surround him. Saying that they were going to surround him would leave them far behind as well. After all, the two sides were princes, so they didn't want to be affected.
"Wei Li, I don't have time for you, get out of my way!" Luo Wen replied directly.
"Out of the way? Rowan, don't make it sound so light. If you insist on taking Chen Xiao away, I will definitely report this to royal father and say that you abused your authority to deal with the innocent! " Wei Li said.
"Wei Li, you're wrong. I didn't think about what I would do to him. I only thought highly of him and invited him over to my place." Rowan frowned.
He did not want the Wei Li to get close to the Demon King, so his words were obviously meant to lower his head.
"Haha, that's good. Then I'll wait for you outside your mansion. However, I must inform you in advance that you can't use private methods against the Chenxiao that I have my eyes on." Wei Li couldn't help but laugh.
As he said that, Wei Li ordered his men to get out of the way.1
"Wei Li, don't worry!" With that said, Luo Wen brought his subordinates and Lin Long back to his own residence with an ugly expression.
After entering his residence, he immediately "invited" Lin Long to a secret room.
As soon as he arrived here, with no demons around, Rowan immediately tore off his' mask 'and coldly said, "Chenxiao, are you in cahoots with Dick or not?"
"Second Prince, I really don't know Dick." How could Lin Long admit it?
"You don't want to admit it?" As he spoke, he directly placed restrictions on Lin Long's body.
For Lin Long who had the body technique, a restriction like Luo Wen was also useless against him.
However, in order to not expose his secret, he pretended to be upset. Of course, no matter how "uncomfortable" he was, he did not admit that he had anything to do with Dick.
After torturing Lin Long and seeing that he could not get anything out of him, Luo Wen could only let Lin Long leave.
Of course, even if he wasn't able to get anything out of Lin Long, Luo Wen was still suspicious of him.
The moment Lin Long left Luo Wen's residence, the guards who were already waiting outside immediately walked in front of him.
"Chenxiao, Prince Wei Li wants you to meet him." The other party immediately answered in this manner.
The demon clan member was standing right next to the guard just now, so Lin Long naturally knew that it was not a fake.
Lin Long knew that the reason the Wei Li had helped him was because he was fighting with Luo Wen, and not because he was Lin Long, so the fact that the Wei Li had not personally waited for him here was already within his expectations.
"Chen Xiao, the reason Prince Wei Li is speaking up for you is because he has some conflicts with the Prince Rowan, and it's not because of you, so you have to pay attention to your own identity." Sure enough, just after a few steps, the demon clan member walked along the path.
"Right." Lin Long immediately nodded.
Soon, he was brought to Wei Li's mansion and saw Wei Li after a period of time.
"Thank you, Prince Wei Li." Seeing the Wei Li, Lin Long thanked him immediately.
He knew that if it wasn't for Wei Li, he would probably be locked up in some dungeon and tortured by Rowan every day.
On the other hand, Wei Li sized up Lin Long a few times, then said, "Are you willing to be my subordinate?"
