539: C539 Zhao Cang

C539 Zhao Cang

"How dare you! Who are you to attack Zhao Men?"

The soldiers who were guarding the city all stood up and walked towards Ling Jian.

At that moment, even the cultivators who had entered the city and left the city stopped in their tracks and stood not far away to watch.

They all looked at Ling Jian with shocked expressions. They never thought that this young man, who looked so young, would actually be so bold.

This was a place under the Zhao Family's jurisdiction. This young man was truly bold, to actually openly tear apart the Zhao Family's reputation.

Ling Jian's expression was calm. Even though so many soldiers were looking at him, his expression did not change. He calmly said, "He said that I was going to attack. Did that dog of yours see it?"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

A few soldiers also frowned in their hearts. They indeed did not see Ling Jian attack, but to think that way, Ling Jian was undoubtedly the most suspicious.

"Since there is no evidence, then I am not the one who injured him."

"Could it be that this is your usual style of doing things, slandering good people?"

Ling Jian's words caused the expressions of the soldiers at the city gates to become even uglier.

"What happened?"

A middle-aged man's shout came from within the city.

A couple of soldiers with ugly expressions had great joy on their faces when they heard this. Immediately, they opened up a path and saw a middle-aged man quickly walking over.

"Who is it? You actually dare..."

A pair of sharp eyes had already landed on Ling Jian after the man walked out of the city gate.

It was also after his gaze came into contact with Ling Jian's body that the originally cold and stern words came to an abrupt stop.

Mu Qiurou's gaze similarly became extremely strange.

No matter what, she never would have thought that this person in front of her was actually Mister Zhao, who had left the Huang Clan Tribe a few days ago.

"Mister Zhao, do you think I dare?"

When Ling Jian's voice entered Mister Zhao's ears, it caused the latter's body to involuntarily stiffen. No matter what, he never would have thought that he would actually bump into Ling Jian in this place.

Because of the death of the Imperial Patriarch, the transaction between him and the Imperial Patriarch didn't proceed smoothly. After he returned, not only was he fined a portion of the spirit stones, but he was also demoted of his position.

Now, he was sent to guard the door.

If he had not heard the commotion outside, he might not have come.

However, he had never expected that the person outside was the one who had punished him this time.

He still had a deep memory of Ling Jian. Not to mention himself, even that shadow clone was not something he could contend with, let alone Ling Jian himself, who had killed the Imperial Patriarch.

If he had known that Ling Jian would come, he would definitely not have come out now. He would definitely have waited at the entrance.

"Young Master Ling, long time no see."

Mister Zhao's tone was kind, and he had a smile on his face. He was no longer as high and mighty as he used to be.

The surrounding cultivators and soldiers were all stunned, they never thought that there would be a day when they would see Mr. Zhao act so respectfully in front of a young man.

"I remember that this person seemed to be Zhao Cang from the Zhao Family. I heard that he made a small mistake and was punished to guard the door."

"It seems that this young man's identity isn't simple. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been treated this way by Zhao Cang."

"Now there's a show to watch."

...

The surrounding cultivators began to discuss among themselves, and even more gazes fell upon Zhao Cang.

Many people recognized him. It wasn't because they had a strong memory, but because Zhao Cang had some reputation to begin with. With a cultivation base at the peak of the Human Spirit Dao, it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the Earth Spirit Dao.

Compared to these cultivators, the ones who were the most shocked at this moment were naturally the guards at the entrance.

They had never thought that Zhao Cang, who had such a high status, would actually be so respectful to a young man.

"You are the person in charge of this entrance?"

Ling Jian looked at Zhao Cang and spoke calmly.

He had clearly heard the words of the surrounding cultivators earlier.

"It's me, it's me."

Zhao Cang quickly replied with a very humble attitude.

Ling Jian slowly said, "It's like this, I want to enter the city, but because I don't have a token, I was stopped. Your soldiers slandered me and injured me, how are you going to deal with this matter?"

Hearing Ling Jian's words, Zhao Cang's expression changed slightly.

"If Young Master Ling wants to enter the city, just tell me directly. Any token is just a formality."

Even though that was the case, Zhao Cang's movements were not slow at all. He casually inhaled, and a few black tokens appeared in his palm. He respectfully gave them to Ling Jian.

"This Mixed Heaven City is not under the control of our Zhao Family. With these tokens, Young Master Ling will not be hindered from entering from that city gate in the future."

Ling Jian nodded, and kept the tokens into his Qiankun bag.

The Zhao Family could use Zhao Gate as a way to profit. The other two major families would do the same. If they were blocked by other gates, it would be troublesome.

"Your subordinate said that I injured this person. How should we deal with this?"

Ling Jian looked at the soldier lying on the ground.

At this moment, the soldier was still lying on the ground, curled up. When he noticed Ling Jian looking at him, he could not help but shrink his neck.

"This person had eyes but failed to see. He offended the young master. He deserved it."

Zhao Cang said somewhat angrily.

If it wasn't for this soldier, he wouldn't have made an appearance at all.

"That's good."

Ling Jian nodded.

Seeing Ling Jian like this, Zhao Cang could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He had seen Ling Jian in action before. Although this young man looked gentle and refined, he was actually a fierce character.

Moreover, the key was that the two of them were not familiar with each other. If the two of them had a grudge here and started fighting, he would not be able to stop these useless soldiers.

"Young Master Ling, are you going to enter the city now?"0

Zhao Cang, who was standing at the side, asked with a smile.

He did not know Ling Jian's background, but he was still very willing to be friends with him. Now, he cared a little more about him.

Nodding, Ling Jian slowly walked into the city.

Seeing this, Mu Qiurou also carefully followed behind.

At this moment, none of the soldiers at the city gates blocked Ling Jian and Mu Qiurou. They were also smart people. Through Zhao Cang and Ling Jian's attitude just now, subconsciously, they thought that Ling Jian was a peerless expert or a disciple of a powerful sect.

Even Zhao Cang did not dare to provoke him, and they did not have the courage to do so.

Very quickly, Ling Jian and Mu Qiurou's figures had completely disappeared from the city gates.

It was only after their figures had completely disappeared that Zhao Cang suddenly turned around. The calm and smiling expression on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a touch of gloominess and fury.

"A bunch of useless trash. This matter can't even be handled properly."

Zhao Cang coldly berated the soldiers beside him who were silent like cicadas in winter.
