Chapter 392
Chapter 392 – Nangong City
The scene seemed to have completely pause, even the air felt like it was freezing up. Both Nangong Wenyang and Zhang Feng were terrified by this young man in front of them. Of course, their feelings weren’t alike, Nangong Wenyang was terrified, mixed in with surprised, because Jiang Chen was after all on his sides. However, it was a completely different feeling for Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng felt his soul trembling, he was struck by fear that came from the bottom of his heart. Just by looking at this young man in white, he could clearly feel death breathing down on his neck. He had never felt so close to death before in his entire life.
He knew how powerful Li Gai’s cultivation was. Li Gai was an Early Combat Soul warrior, but even with that mighty cultivation, this young man had actually killed him with just a single strike. Zhang Feng kept examining this young man with his senses, confirming that he was truly only a Peak Divine Core warrior, not even a Combat Soul warrior.
However, with just his Peak Divine Core cultivation, this young man had actually killed an Early Combat Soul warrior like he was killing an ant by pinching it. If he didn’t witness this by himself, he wouldn’t have believed it at all.
“You, who are you?!”
Zhang Feng asked with a trembling voice. He was clearly scared now, as all his aggressiveness had disappeared.
Zhang Feng firmly believed he had never met this young man before, and no one had ever told him about this guy either. However, a genius capable of easily killing a Combat Soul warrior while only a Peak Divine Core warrior must definitely be someone famous. However, Zhang Feng just couldn’t recall the Southern Continent ever having had such an incredible genius.
“Little Chen, Nangong City is in a restless state right now. After the Nangong family was divided by my eldest uncle, the Nangong City was split into two parts. The people near the south gate are under his control, while the north gate is still under the Nangong family’s control. However, since we are now in a critical period, for safety purposes, it’s better to stay low profile and walk into the city. Our priority is to return home.”
Nangong Wentian explained.
“En.”
Jiang Chen nodded his head. In fact, right as they arrived at the city, he had sensed a restless atmosphere lingering within the city. This grand and majestic city was not as peaceful as it seemed, the undercurrent was strong.
“You three, stop there! You have to pay the entrance fee.”
Six tall and muscular men stood on both sides of the north gate. When they saw Jiang Chen and the other two, they immediately stopped them.
“Are you blind?!”
Nangong Wenyang walked forward and shouted at the leader of the guards. Only now did the guard see who the man who shouted at him was. He was instantly frightened, and kneeled down onto the ground.
“I didn’t know it was young master Wenyang, please forgive me for my ignorance!”
The guard’s body was covered in sweat. He was just the leader of a small group of Nangong family guards. Compared to Nangong Wenyang who was one of the family geniuses; he was nothing!
“Hmph!”
Nangong Wenyang coldly harrumphed. After that, he made a welcoming gesture toward Jiang Chen and Nangong Wentian, then led both men into the city. All the guards were kneeling down with heads lowered, so none of them were able to see that Nangong Wentian was one of the men that came. If not, they might even be terrified, because the Nangong family’s young master was an existence who could do anything he wanted in Nangong City.
“Little Chen, those are the Nangong family’s guards. You see, not only is Nangong City a prosperous city, with our protection, it is also a really safe place to live. Those who live inside the city doesn’t have to pay entrance fees, but for outsiders, they have to pay a certain amount if they wanted to visit the city.”
Nangong Wentian explained, in Nangong City, the Nangong family was the true emperor, no one could disobey their rules.
