Chapter 1341 Whoever Holds the Hand
Chapter 1341 Whoever Holds the Hand
When the cultivators behind Lu Chen saw the signal talisman being sent out, they knew that the situation had reached a point of no return. Many of them had already quietly left, fearing that they would be implicated.
In response to this, Lu Chen did not deliberately stop it, but just stood there calmly, casting a reassuring look at Lan Caiyi and the others. He knew that the real fun had just begun.
Soon, about a hundred cultivators emerged from the City Lord's Mansion, all of them in the late Xuanxian realm. Their appearance immediately surrounded Lu Chen and the other seven or eight hundred people.
If such strength were placed in other realms of the Lower Thirty-three Heavens, it would be enough to control an area, but in the Holy Land of China, he could only serve as an ordinary guard team member.
This shows that the power of the Chinese Holy Land is far beyond everyone's imagination.
Upon seeing this, Steward Wang was so excited that he pointed at Lu Chen arrogantly, and said with anger and resentment in his voice:
"Deputy Commander Zhang, this guy, relying on his own strength, actually dared to attack me! And these people, they are all lawless and unruly people, quickly arrest them all and punish them severely."
The cultivator called Deputy Commander Zhang looked at Manager Wang, then at Lu Chen, but did not take action immediately.
He was very clear about what Manager Wang did on a daily basis, but he turned a blind eye to it because of his brother-in-law's status. However, this did not mean that he had to obey him.
At this time, Deputy Commander Zhang stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over Lu Chen and the others, finally stopping at Lu Chen. "If you have nothing else to do, please disperse. Otherwise, it will be very disadvantageous to you."
Lu Chen didn't expect that Deputy Commander Zhang would actually speak for him. It seems that not all cultivators are parasites, which made him feel very relieved.
So Lu Chen kindly reminded him: "You can't control this matter. I advise you to step aside. Just think of it as a thank you for what you said just now."
Upon hearing this, Deputy Commander Zhang was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned grim. He felt that Lu Chen was somewhat ungrateful.
At this moment, a figure appeared like a ghost. The person was wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with silver cloud patterns, looking mysterious and noble.
He was tall and strong, with a stern face and a pair of deep eyes like a cold pond, without any emotion; under his high nose bridge, his thin lips were tightly closed, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
When Deputy Commander Zhang saw the newcomer, he thought to himself that something was wrong. He originally thought that he could just go through the motions and forget about this matter.
But now that Commander Zhao has arrived in person, it is clear that things are out of his control.
"Commander Zhao, it's just a small matter. I dare not trouble you. Just leave it to me." Deputy Commander Zhang tried to save the situation and greeted him with a smile.
However, Commander Zhao ignored Deputy Commander Zhang's words. He glanced around the scene coldly, his gaze finally landing on Lu Chen. He ordered in a cold tone: "Catch those who are gathering to cause trouble, send the rest away, and kill those who resist without mercy."
Upon hearing this, Deputy Commander Zhang shook his head secretly. He knew that Commander Zhao's words were not only directed at Lu Chen, but also meant to show his authority to everyone.
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar all around, and the cultivators who had been following Lu Chen all dodged and left.
In less than a moment, only Li Aotian and Lan Caiyi were left by Lu Chen's side.
Lu Chen didn't care about this. He just wanted to see the truest side of the sect through this incognito visit.
At this time, several members of the City Lord's Mansion's guard team were ready to fight and surrounded Lu Chen and others.
Upon seeing this, Lan Caiyi and the others took out their respective magic weapons, ready to fight to the death.
When Lu Chen saw that Commander Zhao was arresting people without knowing the truth, his face turned ugly.
He raised his hand and cast a ban, and the guards who were approaching froze in place, unable to move. Then he said:
"Commander Zhao, right? What you call 'gathering a crowd to cause trouble' is nothing more than the people's desire for justice. They simply want to see the truth revealed and justice served. Is that a crime?"
Commander Zhao looked Lu Chen up and down, and found that he was only at the early stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. He sneered and said, "Although I don't know where you came from, you young fool, but I have the final say here.
Your so-called truth and justice are nothing but insignificant things in the face of absolute strength. Now, either surrender obediently or prepare to face death."
After saying that, Commander Zhao's consciousness quickly locked onto Lu Chen, and he sneered in his heart. He was a cultivator in the late Golden Immortal Realm, so it was no problem for him to deal with an unknown kid.
So, he cast a ban without hesitation. This ban contained his powerful strength, which was enough to make any cultivator who was below his level lose the ability to resist in an instant.
However, just as the ban was about to touch Lu Chen, something incredible happened.
The seemingly indestructible restriction seemed to be swallowed by an invisible force when it approached Lu Chen, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Commander Zhao's pupils suddenly contracted and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
He knew clearly that his restrictions were no joke. Anyone who could dissolve them at such a close distance was either a strong man of the same level, or someone who had mastered some extremely advanced magic.
At this time, Lu Chen still had a smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.
Commander Zhao was filled with doubts and began to suspect that the young man in front of him was hiding his true strength.
At this moment, Lu Chen just glanced at Commander Zhao lightly, but this glance seemed to carry a thousand pounds of power, and a powerful pressure suddenly swept towards Commander Zhao.
This pressure does not come from any external attack, but directly acts on the depths of the soul, making people feel suffocated and oppressed.
Commander Zhao felt that the space around him seemed to solidify at this moment, and every inch of air became as heavy as lead, almost crushing him.
He widened his eyes, trying to find the source of the pressure, but found that except for himself, no one else seemed to notice this change at all.
"This is……"
Commander Zhao was horrified, yet he dared not utter a single sound. He tried to mobilize his inner essence to resist this inexplicable pressure, but each attempt seemed futile and only made him suffer unspeakably.
But when other people saw this scene, they found that Commander Zhao had suddenly turned as pale as snow, with beads of sweat on his forehead and his eyes filled with shock and fear.
As everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, Commander Zhao asked with difficulty:
"You...who are you?"
Commander Zhao asked with difficulty, his voice trembling. He realized that he might have really provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked...
