Wen Wen wanted to take Chen Ke along to negotiate, but Elder Wang, Elder Liu, and Sister Wang all opposed it. If he went, he had to bring Elder Chen to ensure his safety.
Although Chen Ke had already reached the heavenly immortal realm, how could he compare with Elder Chen, who was at the immortal stage?
Who would have thought that the very next day, Wen Wen would take Chen Ke and head to Lingnan City ahead of the others? Elder Wang was furious, and everyone could only hope they returned safely.
Several days later, the sentries spotted a large force approaching the city from afar. Upon receiving the news, Long Zhang immediately activated the array and ordered the gates shut.
For the first time, Dragon City sounded its alarm, signaling an enemy attack. The experts all emerged from seclusion and hurried to the main southern gate.
Before long, a large number of Flying Crafts and cultivators riding flying swords gathered about half a kilometer outside the southern gate.
Seeing that Dragon City had activated an array took them quite by surprise. It meant the city had a skilled expert. Before coming, they had already investigated Dragon City's strength.
One immortal stage expert and three heavenly immortal realm experts. They had brought several times that number of experts, intending to seize Dragon City in one stroke.
Leading them was the eldest young master of the Marquis House. He had long coveted Dragon City's businesses but had never found an opportunity. Who would have thought their young City Lord would come to him? It suited his wishes perfectly.
Even after seeing Dragon City activate its array, he was in no hurry. With the young City Lord as his trump card, the other side would surely have to think things over.
