C208 I Can't Leave
When the symbol spirit stabilized its cultivation, it was already early in the morning. Going to the Flower Town at this time was definitely something that no one would ever know.
"Big brother Ling, just who were those people last night that wanted to capture you?"
As the symbol spirit had just stabilized its cultivation, it was only now that the events that occurred last night were brought up. Even though he was at the critical moment of breaking through, she still knew what had happened in the outside world.
When he heard that he had to capture Ling Tianyu, the symbol spirit was extremely worried. However, his breakthrough was imminent and he had no time to be distracted. Otherwise, he would have had his heart broken again.
Fortunately, Ling Tianyu was very strong. Not only had he sent Ling Feijun flying with a single strike, he had also instantly killed an early stage Nascent Soul martial artist. This caused countless small stars to appear in the Symbol Spirit's eyes.
"I don't know either. I only offended the Soaring Sky Army when I came to the Southern Continent. I believe that the Soaring Sky Army is not just a fifth tier alchemist; they must have some other background."
Ling Tianyu explained. Other than this, he really couldn't think of any other reason. As for why the Branch Lord wanted to capture him, he had no idea.
However, there was one thing that he could guess that Ling Feijun was a tier 5 alchemist. Now that Ling Tianyu had snatched away the 'Heavenly Flame', it meant that Ling Tianyu would definitely not be able to refine a tier 5 pill. For the faction behind Ling Tianyu, he was undoubtedly a trash.
The problem was, what did that power want a Tier 5 pill refiner for? No one knew about this. Perhaps those two elders knew about it, or perhaps Ling Feijun knew about it.
However, this was meaningless to Ling Tianyu. He was someone from the Eastern Emperor Continent. If everyone left, he wouldn't go chasing them back to the Eastern Emperor Continent, right?
Right now, the most important thing for him was to find Sayo first and then leave the Southern Prefecture. However, it would take him over a year to travel to the East Continent.
This made Ling Tianyu secretly sigh. If only he was a Life and Death Realm warrior, then he could fly with his body. If he flew to the East Continent, his journey would be greatly shortened.
"Forget about them, let's head to Flower Cloud Town first." Ling Tianyu said bluntly.
"Right." Fu Qing and Fu Ling nodded their heads and walked towards the city gate.
Just as they arrived at the city gates, a handsome horse galloped in from behind. A soldier on the horse shouted loudly, "City Lord has ordered that the Flower Capital is under strict security. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
As the sound of his voice faded, squadrons of guards from the City Lord's Mansion appeared from all directions, and the gates that were wide open were shut tight.
"What's going on?"
Ling Tianyu was doubtful. He had wanted to head to the Flower Town as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
"The few of you, bring these people to the mayor to verify his identity. The rest of you, go to each household to search. If there are any unidentified people, bring them directly to the mayor's mansion."
The soldier on horseback pointed at Ling Tianyu and the others as he instructed them quickly. Then, he turned his horse around and dashed toward the other city gates.
There weren't many people on the streets in the morning. Other than Ling Tianyu and the other two, there were only five to six people who wanted to leave the city.
At the command of the soldier from before, three people immediately came up from the other side of the city gate and surrounded them.
"What are you doing? We didn't do anything, why did you bring us to the Mayor's mansion?"
"That's right, I'm a true businessman. I'm in a hurry to leave the city, or else I'll suffer a huge loss."
"We protest, we are leaving the city …"
Someone shouted out, but the soldiers ignored them and went up to slap the person who was crying out in protest.
"What are you shouting for? In this city, the Mayor's mansion is the biggest! If you keep on blabbering, I won't kill you!"
This soldier was in the middle stage of the Qi Resisting Realm, and was only at the peak of the Qi Resisting Realm after being beaten up. He covered his swollen face, not daring to make a sound.
With this scene, the people who were shouting also gradually calmed down.
The soldier who hit them shot them a look of disdain.
"Listen up, go to the City Lord's Mansion and verify your identity. Otherwise, death will be the only option." The soldier waved his hand and the other two soldiers led them towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Even these soldiers did not know the reason behind his actions.
Although Ling Tianyu was puzzled about the sudden restrictions in Hua Capital, he could only follow the flow and head to the City Lord's mansion. He knew that something big had happened in Hua Capital. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted in such a way.
Of course, with the strength of Ling Tianyu and the others, they were more than enough to charge out of the city gates. However, if they were to run away, the experts from the City Lord's Mansion would definitely chase them down.
This was naturally something that Ling Tianyu did not want to happen. This was because they had never committed any crime. If they were to run away, it would just make others suspicious of them.
Besides, the capital city was guarded by a warrior who was at the peak of the Returning Realm, so there must be such an expert inside the Mayor's mansion.
"This big brother here, I wonder what happened in the Flower Capital? Why is he suddenly not allowed to leave the city?"
On the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Ling Tianyu asked softly. Even though he was upright and had the Honorary Elder Token of the Alchemist Association, he was still worried about Sayo and wanted to get to Flowcloud Town as soon as possible.
"I don't know, this is an order from the City Lord's Mansion."
Perhaps it was due to Ling Tianyu's benevolence that the soldier explained himself.
A sudden order?
Ling Tianyu wondered if it was the Seventh Elder who had escaped last night.
No, they were in the same group as Ling Feijun. They all said they came from Guan Yang City. If it was Patriarch Seven, he would not have waited until now, but had already closed the city gate last night.
"Have you ever suddenly closed the city gate before?" Ling Tianyu continued asking. He was worried that if the Hua Du City did not open its city gates for a few days, the Branch Lord of Guan Yang City would definitely send another powerful warrior over.
"Never happened before." The soldier answered before glancing at Ling Tianyu and said impatiently, "If you have any questions, go to the City Lord's Mansion and tell him. Don't spout nonsense here."
"You …"
Ling Tianyu didn't say anything, but Fu Qing clenched his fist tightly. This fellow was disrespectful to his boss, he was courting death.
However, before he could make a move, Ling Tianyu stopped him. After all, this was the Hua City, and the City Lord's Mansion was a place that they couldn't go against.
He only hoped that the City Lord's Mansion would finish their business and allow them to leave earlier.
However, although Fu Qing was stopped by Ling Tianyu, the soldier saw his actions and couldn't help but be enraged.
"Oh wow, you still want to fight?" I think you don't know how many eyes Prince Ma has. "
The soldier raised his hand and slapped Fu Qing.
This was the Flower City, and they were already used to showing authority here by virtue of being soldiers of the mayor's residence. Thus, as long as they didn't like these strangers, they would start beating them up.
Moreover, most of those who could come to the capital were businessmen. They would only be a Qi Resisting Realm warrior if they were pushed to their deaths and didn't have much of a background.
As a result, even if they were stronger than these soldiers, they would still think about the City Lord's Mansion and quietly endure.
However, they had never thought that the person he was going to attack would be a true returning realm martial practitioner.
Just as the palm was about to strike, Fu Qing grabbed the soldier's wrist and threw him out.
