C157 85th Chapter Elder Position

On top of the Green Cloud Sword, the sword energy was like a sudden clap of thunder as it descended from the sky.

Leng Shan was shocked and did not dare to take it head on. He could only use his sword to block it.

Kacha!

The sound of metal breaking was heard. Although it was very small, it was like a clap of thunder that struck everyone's heart.

Leng Shan's long sword broke and was swallowed by the sword Qi in front of his disbelieving eyes. With a wail, he was sent flying and crashed into a wall. He spat out a mouthful of blood. His Qi was weak and his flesh was badly mutilated.

"This is not true..." Leng Shan struggled to get up. He looked at Lin Chen with a blank face and shouted.

He could not accept this reality!

In front of an Eighth Layer of Spirit Gathering Stage warrior, he had no strength to fight back!

At the same time, the four stewards were frightened, but at the same time, their hearts sank. In this way, the four of them wouldn't be able to escape death.

This seemingly thin and weak youth in front of them was actually so terrifying!

He looked at Li An again and stared at Lin Chen with his mouth agape. Regret filled his heart.

He shouldn't have provoked Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was like the god of death, holding the Green Cloud Sword in his hand as he slowly walked towards the badly mutilated Leng Shan.

Just as Lin Chen was about to end this, an old voice suddenly sounded, "Young man, show mercy!"

As the voice fell, a gentle aura wrapped around Lin Chen and forced him back a few feet.

Lin Chen didn't need to think to know that it was the Black Forest City's City Lord. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to force Lin Chen to retreat a few meters just by relying on his Third Layer of Profound Emperor Stage cultivation base.

Soon, another figure appeared.

He was in his fifties and had a head full of white hair. His Qi was deep, and he was at the peak of Fourth Layer of Profound Emperor Stage. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Lin Chen with a smile on his face.

"Deputy City Lord!" When everyone saw this, they all bowed and cupped their fists.

This man was the Deputy City Lord of Black Forest City, Good.

Good waved his hand and said, "Don't look anymore. Everyone can leave now. The few of you, bring Elder Leng and the four stewards back to their residences and let them treat their injuries."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the ten soldiers bowed their heads and cupped their fists. Then, they turned sideways and walked towards Leng Shan and the four stewards. They carefully carried them away. The crowd seemed to be afraid of this white-haired middle-aged man. After a wave of clamoring, they also left. In an instant, only Lin Chen and Good were left in the dilapidated hall.

"Do you know what crime fighting in the hall is?" After a long silence, Good broke the silence and asked in a deep voice.

Lin Chen said neither servile nor overbearing, "These stewards use their authority to exploit outsiders. They deserve to be beaten."

Good smiled faintly and said, "Even if they are corrupt and lawless, it is still our Black Forest City's own business. No outsider is allowed to interfere. But since you have already beaten them, I can give you two choices. One, follow me to the imperial prison to make up for what I've done. Of course, you can resist, but you must know that you are facing the entire Black Forest City. Furthermore, even if you can escape, this place is isolated from the rest of the world. There is only one piece of pure land here. The Black Spirit Mountain Range is filled with danger. You won't be able to live for long."

"What about the second?" Lin Chen felt that what he said made sense.

"The second is to submit to the Black Forest City. With your talent and cultivation, being an elder is more than enough. As long as you sincerely help the Black Forest City, you will be able to enjoy endless wealth and wealth. You won't be able to leave anyway, won't you?" Good smiled kindly and tried to rope him in.

"Okay, I'll join you." Lin Chen thought for a while and agreed.

He knew that he would not be able to leave this place for a while, so he might as well join first. He would wait and see, and find a way out.

Good smiled even more when he heard that. He looked at Lin Chen again and said with a smile, "Little brother, you really know how to appreciate favors. In that case, please follow me." After saying that, he turned around and led Lin Chen towards the center of Black Forest City.2

"Do you cherish talents that much?" Lin Chen smiled bitterly and followed closely behind.

An hour later, Lin Chen arrived at the Black Forest City, the City Lord's Palace.

He followed Good. Lin Chen looked around and saw that the materials used to build the palace were the same as the materials used to build the Assignment Hall. It was made of countless luminous stones, shining brightly. The layout of the palace was not as imposing and extraordinary as the peaks of the Yanluo Sect. It was very ordinary. However, it covered a large area.

After a quarter of an hour, the two of them finally arrived at the main hall.

After stepping into the main hall, Lin Chen took a look and saw a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe sitting at the head seat of the main hall. He had an ordinary appearance, but his domineering aura made people's hearts tremble.

This man was the Black Forest City's City Lord, Jiang Tianhu.

After Gu De nodded slightly at Lin Chen, he walked straight to the seat next to Jiang Tianhu and sat down. Below him, there were also stone tables and stools, divided into two rows and ten in total.

Good whispered into Jiang Tianhu's ear. The latter turned to Lin Chen and said in a deep voice, "Are you the one who caused trouble in the Assignment Hall?"

"That's right!" Lin Chen said neither servile nor overbearing.

"How dare you!" Jiang Tianhu slammed the table and said with a cold snort.

Lin Chen gave a faint smile, he wasn't intimidated by Jiang Tianhu's Qi. Instead, he looked around and found Leng Shan, who was wrapped in bandages and had suffered a serious injury, "Your subordinates are not clean. I will help you clean up. I don't think they did anything wrong."

Lin Chen's words shocked everyone present.

He actually dared to speak to the City Lord in such a manner!

"You... you... you..." Leng Shan was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He felt that the wounds on his body had ruptured once again.

Jiang Tianhu obviously did not expect Lin Chen to say such words, but he was not angry. Instead, he laughed loudly and said, "Haha, what a big tone, but I like it. I heard from Good that you agree to join us. In that case, let me test your strength!"

As his voice faded, he stood up. Beams of dazzling golden light burst out from his body. The Qi of a peak Fifth Layer of Profound Emperor Stage instantly filled the entire hall and swept towards Lin Chen, leaving no room for escape.

His clothes fluttered in the wind, and his black hair fluttered in the wind. Lin Chen stood motionless in the center of the hall, like a small boat that was swimming against the current, allowing the terrifying Qi to hit his body without moving at all.

"Haha, you're very good. I like it." In about ten breaths' time, the powerful energy released by Jiang Tianhu dissipated in the wind. He said: "From today onwards, you are an elder of Black Forest City, and this is the elder token. Take it."

Jiang Tianhu waved his wrist, and a shining golden identity token fell into Lin Chen's palm.

Lin Chen caught the identity token and looked back at it. He asked, "What do I need to do after becoming an elder?"

"Black Forest City is isolated from the world, there is nothing to worry about. However, each elder is in charge of a region, you just need to ensure the order of that region." Jiang Tianhu returned to his seat and said slowly.

"Congratulations, Elder Lin!"

"Elder Lin has such a cultivation at such a young age, his future is limitless."

"My name is Wang Jingyu. The area under your jurisdiction is right beside you. In the future, I hope Elder Lin will take care of me."

At this time, all of the elders were celebrating.
