"Thank you, Lord Ling, for your understanding."
Chou Wu bent down and said respectfully.
Then without wasting any more time, he immediately turned around and led everyone towards the city gate.
When they were less than a hundred meters away from the city gate, such movement finally attracted the attention of the city guards.
Under the leadership of a young general, dozens of well-equipped guards lined up to block Ling Yun's group.
The crossbow arrows in his hands are all ready to be fired at any time. If the situation goes wrong, he will attack without hesitation.
Ling Yun glanced at it, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The other party's age seems to be only twenty-five or six years old, but his cultivation level is extremely good.
Judging from the strength of its energy and blood, it has reached the peak of the Spirit Conduit Realm!
There is only one step left to enter the realm of blood fusion!
If such a level of cultivation were placed in Cloud City, I'm afraid it would directly create an additional top force.
However, in Luoyang City, the opponent turned out to be just a "little soldier" guarding the city gate.
Even the guards behind him are mostly at the Tongyi level!
Although the number of people is less than one-tenth of Ling Yun's, but in terms of momentum, it is not inferior at all.
At this time, the two sides were confronting each other.
"He who comes is stopped!"
At this time, the young general stepped forward and looked at Ling Yun and others. Especially after noticing the strength of Zhang Mu, his eyes became a little wary and he spoke.
"You look a little strange. Which force do you belong to?"
"What are your plans for coming to Luoyang City?"
It's not surprising that the other party has such an attitude.
After all, there were hundreds of people, and almost all of them had weapons in their hands. No one else would be able to feel at ease.
If we continue to remain indifferent, then there is probably no need for the city guards to exist.
Ling Yun was about to speak, but Chou Wu on the side suddenly stepped forward and said with fists in his hands.
"Lord Li, you misunderstood, we are not here to cause trouble."
"We are all forces within the city. Before, we just went out for missions."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chou Wu had quietly approached the young general and seemed to have stuffed something into his cuffs.
Ling Yun's eyes flickered slightly when he saw this.
But he didn't say much, but watched the development of the situation silently.
Without his voice, Zhang Mu and the others would not dare to act rashly.
Everyone in the group waited in silence.
On the other side, the young general calmly touched the hard object inside his cuff, and a look of satisfaction suddenly appeared on his face.
He patted Chou Wu on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Very good, it seems that this general has misunderstood."
"Okay, you have no problem, you can go in."
"But I'll say it first. If I find you making trouble in the city, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Chou Wu's smile remained unchanged, and he said a few flattery words, which immediately made the other party laugh with satisfaction.
The guards blocking the road in front of him also gave way at this time.
Under their gaze, the convoy also slowly drove forward.
Looking at Chou Wu who had become "acquainted" with the young general, Ling Yun's eyes couldn't help but twinkle slightly.
It seems that there is a certain reason why Li Tao chose to let this guy come.
However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Stop!"
I saw a middle-aged man wearing exquisite armor suddenly walking out of the city gate.
This man was tall and burly, with muscles that even armor could not completely cover up.
As he approached, almost everyone except Ling Yun felt inexplicably short of breath, and their bodies felt as if they were carrying a heavy burden.
Judging from the sinister look on his face, it was obvious that he came with bad intentions.
As he finished speaking, hundreds of elite guards wearing black armor suddenly swarmed out from behind him.
The entire convoy was stopped again.
With the appearance of this middle-aged man, the faces of the young general and Chou Wu became obviously ugly.
"Lang Mie, what do you want to do?"
"I'm on duty today. You brought so many people here. Are you trying to rebel?"
"It seems that I need to talk to the city lord."
Looking at the elite guards who were vaguely surrounding his own people, the young general suddenly said with a gloomy face.
And as soon as he opens his mouth, he doesn't care about anything, but he puts on a big hat first.
However, when the middle-aged man named Lang Mie heard this, he was completely dismissive.
"Lord City Lord? I'm so scared."
"See what this is first before you talk!"
After saying that, he threw out a palm-sized token.
Ling Yun took a quick glance and saw that the token itself was nothing special. It was engraved with some exquisite patterns and had a big word "Mo" written on it.
"Mo?" Ling Yun's eyes couldn't help but move slightly, as if he remembered something.
At the moment, he simply wasn't in a hurry to show up, and just watched the show with great interest.
At this time, the young general took the token, took one look at it, and his expression suddenly changed.
With his eyesight, he naturally recognized that the token in his hand was the personal token of his immediate boss, City Lord Mo Wanxiang!
"How's it going? Did you see clearly?"
"If you can't see it clearly, take it back and look at it slowly."
"I have some things to deal with now, and you'd better not get in the way."
Lang Mie sneered and said in a disdainful tone.
The young general held the token tightly, so hard that it turned white.
However, even though the anger was boiling in his heart, he did not dare to vent it at this moment.
After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down again.
He turned around and glanced at Ling Yun and the others, his expressions a little uncertain.
What are the origins of these people, and even the city lord wants to get involved!
Regarding the act of secretly collecting benefits just now, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful at this moment.
If this reaches the ears of the city lord, he will be doomed!
At the moment, he didn't care about his face and was ready to leave this place.
"Sir, you..."
Chou Wu on the side saw that he was leaving, and immediately felt anxious.
However, the other party didn't even look at him, and returned to the city with his guards.
Looking at his back, Lang Mie was not surprised and spat with some disdain.
Then he turned to look at Chou Wu, who had an ugly face, and said with a sneer.
"What, you don't recognize me anymore?"
"Or do you think you can hide it from us?"
After saying that, he glanced at Ling Yun and others with very disdainful eyes.
"Is this the support you have been waiting for?"
"Haha... they are just a bunch of trash."
"You guys, you came from nowhere, and you still want to show off your power in Luoyang City."
"Today, I will let you, Master Lang, teach you the rules of this place!"
After saying that, he looked at the guards behind him and waved his hand.
"You all listen to me, don't let me go to any of the people in front of you!"
"If anyone dares to break in, he will be shot to death!"
"Yes, sir!" all the guards shouted in unison, pointing their crossbows at Ling Yun and his group.
