The gate to the Outer Mansion always stood open.
The Inner Mansion, however, was tightly guarded, and every guard was an Immortal God.
Clang!
Two guards lowered their spears in unison, barring Ling Feng's path as they stared at him coldly.
"Entry to the Inner Mansion without permission is forbidden!"
Hearing their warning, Ling Feng understood how strictly the Inner Mansion was guarded. He cupped his hands toward them. "I am Ling Feng. Please inform the lord that I have arrived at his command."
"You're Ling Feng?"
The surrounding Immortal God guards all turned to look at Ling Feng, their eyes filled with surprise. His name had already resounded throughout Chaos City.
"Yes."
Ling Feng nodded calmly.
"Go in. The city lord already ordered us to let you through as soon as you arrived."
The two Immortal guards withdrew the spears blocking his path. The other guards no longer wore their earlier aloof, unapproachable expressions.
These Immortal guards were all shrewd. A peerless genius like Ling Feng, personally summoned by the Chaos City Lord, was very likely to become another of his direct disciples. Every one of them regarded him in a different light.
As the Chaos City Lord's guards, they could look down their noses at others, but they naturally dared not act overbearing toward his direct disciples.
After all, they were merely the Chaos City Lord's subordinates. Compared with that relationship, the bond between master and disciple was naturally stronger and closer.
Thus, none of these guards behaved arrogantly toward Ling Feng.
"Thank you."
Smiling, Ling Feng entered the Inner Mansion. As the Immortal guards watched him leave, they could not help discussing him through voice transmission.
"I heard this Ling Feng cleared the Twenty-first Layer of the Heavenly Bridge. That Gatekeeper has strength approaching a King-level Immortal's.
