When there were only a thousand meters left until Jiang Chen reached the city, he curbed his sword radiance and floated in the sky. He didnât pay heed to what happened behind him, and he approached the city.
The towering walls that encircled the whole city were made out of Mysterious Iron Stone and were as smooth as a mirrorâs surface. Time didnât leave great marks on this city like the other ones, and it seemed quite new.
There were many tall buildings erected in the city, and even though most spaces in it were empty without any buildings constructed on them, if one observed the city carefully, he would discover that a good plan was already set in place here.
They were only waiting until the city became more prosperous, and many magnificent buildings would be constructed here quickly.
Jiang Chen looked upward with his gaze. The true Ling Long Celestial Palace was on the great mountain, and a city, as well as a palace, was a great factionâs symbol.
What was quite rarely seen was that there wasnât any formation set on the city, and there still werenât any flight restrictions.
The people entering and leaving could just directly fly in the air, and the cityâs walls ended up becoming a mere decoration.
Jiang Chen didnât enter the city because he was waiting for the sisters, Diao Yang, and Keer. However, the person who rushed over first was obviously Shi Ganglie.
Shi Ganglie managed to recognize Jiang Chen with a single glance, and he wore a wooden expression, while his eyes flickered with emotions. He assumed that Jiang Chen was trying to show off here on purpose and that he wanted to humiliate him.
Shi Ganglie didnât rush into the city, and he just stared at Jiang Chen attentively.
The people that came over later detected Shi Ganglieâs hostility, and they all stopped in their tracks.
Jiang Chen was calm and composed as if he didnât notice Shi Ganglieâs gaze. Regardless of how Shi Ganglie increased the intensity of the wave of pressure emanating from him, he couldnât affect Jiang Chen.
Shi Ganglie gritted his teeth and fists out of anger. He almost couldnât bear attacking, but he suddenly understood something.
âShi Ganglie is a half-monster, and possess the Angry Lionâs bloodline. Heâs a king in the Monster Clan, and his wave of pressure can let all myriad of beasts weaker than him shiver with fear.â
âWhy isnât this guy affected?â
The onlookers were also curious about this matter.
A wave of pressure was formless, and one could only detect it with his senses. But a powerful wave of pressure could affect enemiesâ minds before the start of the battle, and it could prevent them from using their whole power.
This was especially the case for the outstanding wave of pressure of the Angry Lion, as only a few people among youngsters could bear it.
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen faced Shi Ganglieâs gaze and curled up the corners of his mouth to reveal a faint smile.
Before the crowd could figure out what was going on, a world-shaking wave of pressure emanated.
Roar!
Everyone got to hear a sonorous dragonâs roar.
Shi Ganglieâs wave of pressure was extinguished, while even his body was affected, and his expression changed repeatedly.
âWell?â
It was at this moment that several youngsters flew over from the eastern city gate. They had both men and women among them, and they all had an outstanding demeanor and were all apex Martial Emperors. Just such a matter alone determined that they were likely talented experts of the first rankâs group.
Several people were attracted by the dragonâs roar, and they changed their path. They came over here!
âShi Ganglie?â
Those several people first noticed a golden-haired muscular man, before their gaze was attracted by a white-clothed youth. The youth had an attractive look, and unique temperament, while boundless draconic pressure emanated from his body.
âThis personâs blood and energy are so powerful!â
âCould it be that heâs a dragon?â
âItâs likely, such a majestic draconic pressure as well as such a powerful fleshly body canât be faked.â
Those people assumed by mistake that Jiang Chen was a dragon, and this was why they werenât surprised by his Realm Level.
âSince when did dragons use swords?â
It wasnât just the people, who came over, that were surprised, as even the people who witnessed the previous sword beam were astounded.
Shi Ganglie came back to his senses, and he was shocked greatly.
âItâs a dragon at the Martial Emperor Realmâs late-stage, and if he reveals his true body, he will rival someone at the peak of first rankâs group.â
If a dragon took a humanoid form, he would also get a humanâs distinctive Realm Level, and he would seem quite weak.
For example, Ao Yueâs Realm Levelâs power wasnât great, but if she took a dragonâs form, she would be able to beat anyone at the second rankâs group.
The Monster Clan was on bad terms with the Dragon Clan, but Shi Ganglie was only a half-monster and didnât harbor any hatred toward the Dragon Clan. Instead, he revered and adored it like all humans.
Shi Ganglie curbed his aura and flew into the city without taking another look at Jiang Chen.
An uproar arose among the crowd, but they still found this matter reasonable. It was only a true dragon that could let a lion lower its head.
Jiang Chen wasnât aware that people assumed by mistake that he was a dragon, and once he witnessed Shi Ganglie leaving so easily, he was quite surprised.
âFriend, you are a new face here, arenât you? Did you just come to the Divine Martial Arts Realm to travel in it?â
The several people that came from the eastern city gaze exchanged a glance, and they all decided to try to befriend Jiang Chen. This groupâs leader was a graceful young master with a pretty face who held a folding fan.
The man raised a clever question, and he didnât point out Jiang Chenâs status as a dragon. Instead, he took an indirect approach.
âThat is right, I have come to take part in the Sovereign Roadâs trial.â
When Jiang Chen witnessed that a cordial look was plastered on the guyâs face, he found this matter quite odd. But he still replied politely.
Jiang Chenâs unspoken implication was that he came to the Divine Martial Arts Realm from the Seventh Realm, but when the other guy heard him, he assumed that Jiang Chen admitted that he came from the Dragon Realm.
âIt turned out that itâs like this. Iâm Nie Feng, and those are my friends. You can travel with us if you want so that we can look after each other.â
Jiang Chen stroked his chin, and he wondered since when he became so popular.
Ha had started his path from the Ninth Heaven Realms, and he always wondered whether he possessed a special ability that incurred peopleâs hatred. Everyone that ran across him would yell at him and try to kill him.
But now, someone treated him so cordially, and he found such a matter quite unrealistic.
Moreover, Nie Fengâs power wasnât low, and he could surely get into the first rankâs group, while this was also the case for his companions.
âIâm Jiang Chen, and Iâm happy to meet you.â
Upon hearing this, Nie Feng nodded. He was aware that some dragons would take a human name for their descendants, and he didnât find such a matter strange.
âBrother Jiang, are you waiting for someone?â Nie Feng asked.
âThat is right. My two friends are in the rear, so why donât you enter the city ahead of me?â Jiang Chen said.
âIt doesnât matter, we will also wait here,â Nie Feng said.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was even more surprised, and as he looked at the smiling Nie Feng, he found this matter even more strange.
âArenât they the Spirit Sword Mountainâs five heroes?â
âItâs really them. They have also come here.â
âWho is this guy? Why is he able to let five heroes wait for him?â
The people in the vicinity were all stunned.
The Spirit Sword Mountainâs five heroes referred to Nie Feng and his companions. They were all at the first rankâs group and had resounding fame.
Anyone who could walk with them was anything but simple.
After a short while, Diao Yang and Keer appeared in Jiang Chenâs life of sight, and when they saw Jiang Chen waiting for them here, they revealed a bright smile.
However, Spirit Sword Mountainâs five heroes were taken aback. Those two sisters seemed too mediocre. However, when they noticed the emblem on their clothes, they figured out everything.
The Xia Clan was trying to get close to the Dragon Clan, and most of the Young Sovereignsâ quotas issued to the Dragon Clan had come from the Xia Clan. The Xia Clan was trying any possible means to get close to the Dragon Clan.
When the Spirit Sword Mountainâs five heroes saw those two princesses, they had assumed that their state sent them here to fawn over Jiang Chen.
âThe Spirit Sword Mountainâs five heroes?â
When Diao Yang and Keer noticed the five people next to Jiang Chen, they were quite surprised, and when they ascertained that they were waiting for them, they both felt overwhelmed.
âLetâs enter the city.â
After Jiang Chen introduced both sides to each other, they all entered the city.
âThe Spirit Sword Mountainâs five heroes are proud and haughty, and wouldnât pay heed to ordinary people. Why are they so cordial today?â Keer said in a soft voice.
âWho has said that isnât the case?â Diao Yang was also confused.
They both knew that Jiang Chen was so amazing, but this didnât mean that other people were also aware of it. Moreover, they still werenât sure who was the most powerful among Jiang Chen and the Spirit Sword Mountainâs five heroes
