Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City-Chapter 556 - 555 Citywide Alert

Infiltrating the Imperial Palace is not as easy as it sounds. To make matters worse, the Elf Clan’s team is still barred from entering the Imperial City.

Avril pondered, while the maid Xiaoqing looked on with disdain, "Infiltrating the Imperial Palace? Do you take our Princess for a god? If we could get into the Imperial Palace, why would we still be here? With your little brains, you’re trying to help us? Indeed, there’s a reason why Earthlings are wanted across all planes."

"Hehe, how about it, Princess? Fancy a bet? Have you seen a race wanted across all planes in all these years?" Lin Hao chuckled, ignoring the maid and continuing to look at Avril: "Opportunities are rare. Miss this village, and there won’t be this shop anymore."

With Lin Hao’s words, Avril was suddenly startled, a ripple stirring in her heart. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Indeed, in countless years, there has only been one race wanted across all planes.

Earthlings!

Moreover, the order came from the Divine World in the previous plane, and it was a prophecy issued by all the major gods simultaneously.

To make so many gods, even those not from the same faction, issue such a prophecy, one can only imagine the enormous power needed.

In the Upper Realm Plane, when this prophecy was issued, people speculated the reasons and tried to investigate the cause, but no one knew why, not even the Earth humans from the Upper Realm Plane themselves.

Now, Avril had a sudden intuition that these two people in front of her must know why Earth humans were so powerful to be wanted across all planes.

To be wanted could only mean that this race had value, and being wanted across all planes meant that this race’s value far exceeded imagination!

Perhaps, this was truly an opportunity for the Elf Clan.

Avril felt her breathing accelerate.

"Fine, I’ll help you, but I don’t know how to get you into the Gu Country Imperial Palace. As Xiaoqing just said, we are under house arrest, and even I cannot leave this camp." Avril sighed with a sorrowful look in her eyes.

The melancholic sight nearly broke Zhou Quan’s heart; he couldn’t help but urge Lin Hao on Avril’s behalf:

"Big Brother, think of something! Looking at how sad my bride-to-be is, my heart is breaking."

"Who is your bride-to-be? Don’t spout nonsense here!" Maid Xiaoqing glared at Zhou Quan, her eyes fierce, as if she was about to rush up and give him a good beating.

"Xiaoqing." However, this time, before Lin Hao and Zhou Quan could speak, Avril stopped Xiaoqing, then regarded Lin Hao and Zhou Quan solemnly, taking a deep breath: "If you fulfill your promise and help our Elf Clan, I am willing to agree to marry... to marry..."

Avril looked toward Zhou Quan; she still didn’t know how to address him.

"Zhou Quan... hehe." Zhou Quan grinned sheepishly, almost jumping with excitement: "Don’t worry, my Big Brother always keeps his word, what’s said is said!"

Only maid Xiaoqing seemed anxious, feeling Avril was being deceived and couldn’t help but say, "Princess, how can you casually agree to marry a fat man."

This statement upset Zhou Quan; his eyes widened as he emitted a bit of an imposing aura: "What about being a fat man? What’s wrong with that?"

"Enough." Avril quickly stood between the two, sighing, and looked at Lin Hao: "What the friend said earlier was right; if it can save our Elf Clan, whom I marry doesn’t matter. It’s just that..."

"Getting in is simple. Just say we are envoys from the Elf Clan. We need to enter the Imperial Palace to inquire about what to do next. If the Gu Emperor has you locked out of the city, there should be an explanation. Sending envoys is a very normal thing to do."

Lin Hao had a plan already and laid it out one by one.

But Avril shook her head: "The way you two look now, I’m afraid it would be difficult to blend in. Our Elf Clan..."

"It’s simple, Princess seems to have forgotten what I looked like before?" Lin Hao said with a slight smile, then glanced at Zhou Quan. "Besides, I assume there must also be some chubby members in the Elf Clan?"

"That... could be worth a try." Avril thought for a moment and suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

Lin Hao got to work immediately, performing a bone and appearance change on himself, and did the same for Zhou Quan.

"Xiaoqing, bring two sets of our clan’s official robes." Having changed their appearances, Lin Hao and Zhou Quan now perfectly resembled members of the Elf Clan, causing Avril’s eyes to light up as she quickly called for Xiaoqing.

Once dressed in the new clothes, those standing before her were completely Elf Clan people.

"Call the General in." Avril was delighted and wanted to prepare for entering the palace.

Soon, the Elf Country Guards General walked into the carriage, and upon seeing two more people inside, he was taken aback. Luckily, after Avril’s lengthy explanation, the General came to his senses.

"I have heard a bit about the people from Earth. The other day on the road, I heard some rumors about something happening in the direction of Lin City, but I couldn’t believe they were true," the General pondered a bit, then carefully observed Lin Hao.

However, the General was very supportive of the decision proposed by Lin Hao and Avril. Soon, he went out and negotiated with officials of Gu Country to send envoys to the palace for an audience, presenting tributes and submitting Avril’s portrait.

After all, Avril’s beauty was renowned among the Elf Clan, and the Gu Emperor had heard of Avril’s fair countenance, prompting this proposed marriage alliance. Bringing along Avril’s portrait would make it easier to obtain an audience.

Sure enough, in less than two hours, news came from Gu Country Palace allowing the envoys to enter.

Meanwhile, in the camp outside Gu Country Imperial City, Avril was holding a smartphone, fascinated and engrossed in studying it.

In All Heavens and All Worlds, it was only Earth that had developed a scientific and technological civilization while the other planes were intensively cultivating themselves. Avril has never seen such a novel thing as a smartphone.

Even though there were no base stations here, there was still a weak signal, the signal transmitter from Lin City also covered this area.

However, the signal was weak. To contact Lin City, it depended mostly on luck.

Lin Hao briefly informed Lin Guodong of the situation here and agreed to launch a military attack in five days. Afterward, he, along with Zhou Quan and two Elf Country soldiers, entered the Imperial City with the Gu Country officials.

Being led by Gu Country officials, Lin Hao and Zhou Quan entered confidently into the place they had originally planned to infiltrate with some difficulty.

All along the way, Lin Hao kept his eyes open.

The reputation of Gu Country Imperial City was well-founded; on the city walls and towers, various runes were inscribed everywhere. It was conceivable that in the city center, there must be a focal point of an array, and once a battle occurred, these runes would surely play a certain role.

Moreover, Gu Country Imperial City was already on full alert, with soldiers everywhere, seemingly preparing for an imminent war.

Entering the city, Lin Hao saw many of Gu Country’s subjects moving defensive equipment up to the city walls.

Clearly, Gu Country Imperial City had already begun preparations for a major battle, and the opponent was obvious.
