The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1426 - 1427: The Proud Human Clan

Capítulo 1426: Chapter 1427: The Proud Human Clan

Seeing the deed in Lin Qian’s hand, the face of the guard captain changed slightly.

It was because the deed in Lin Qian’s hand indicated that the house was not in an ordinary place, but close to the center of Yuan City.

Moreover, the edge of the deed was gilded, and from the soul energy fluctuations it contained, one could tell how terrifyingly valuable this deed was.

At least, it would take ten thousand Third Grade Soul Crystals to purchase it.

As for myself, in the position of guard captain, my monthly salary was only five thousand First Grade Soul Crystals, equivalent to five Third Grade Soul Crystals.

Wanting to buy such a mansion, who knows how many years it would take me.

A person who can buy such a mansion certainly is not someone a mere guard captain like myself can contend with.

Thinking of this, the guard captain broke out in a cold sweat and quickly nodded and bowed to Lin Qian: “I’m sorry sir, I really didn’t know you were a resident of Yuan City.”

Immediately after, Lin Qian and his people were welcomed into Yuan City amidst the guard captain’s nods and bows.

“No matter where you are, there will always be people who curry favor with power,” Ye Xuanyan said disdainfully as he entered the city, “If he persisted, I might have looked upon him differently.”

“People of low status always have their difficulties, you’re expecting too much,” Lin Ancestor chimed in.

On the other side, Sun Wukong shook his head: “The guard just now was only at the Dao Realm, indicating that the strength in this Ancient City isn’t very strong. Why not just storm in?”

“Not everything can be solved by brute force.” Zhuge Ming, annoyed, glared at Sun Wukong beside him, wondering what thoughts were running through the monkey’s head.

Many things can’t be resolved simply by using violence. Why can’t this guy understand that?

Soon after, the group returned to the mansion they had purchased in Yuan City.

Upon returning to the mansion, they held a small meeting in the main hall.

“From the current situation, the bizarre changes in Yuan City are quite real, giving the impression that we’ve truly come to the Ancient era,” Lin Qian said as he glanced around at everyone, “For now, let’s gather intelligence and plan our moves.”

“Grandfather, senior, your strengths are the most formidable. Walk through the city and observe the overall strength,” Lin Qian suggested to his grandfather, Lin Ancestor, and Ye Xuanyan.

Both Lin Ancestor and Ye Xuanyan nodded in agreement.

Understanding the strength within the Ancient City was indeed a crucial matter. Only by thoroughly understanding it could they determine the safety of staying in Yuan City.

Elsewhere, Lin Qian looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master: “Could you both observe the arrays within the city and gather texts?”

“Yes!” Both Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master nodded in response.

“Xu Meng, continue to stay by my side.” Lin Qian said to Xu Meng, then shifted his gaze to Sun Wukong, “Buy all the pills in the city, but don’t act recklessly.”

Upon hearing Lin Qian’s instruction, Sun Wukong waved his hand to indicate he understood.

Afterwards, Lin Qian ordered the group to take action, while Qing Yue remained hidden around the mansion domain, and the golden armored guards stood vigil within.

After everyone left, Lin Qian remained seated in the main hall, pondering for a moment before looking at Zhuge Ming: “Prime Minister, do you think there’s a need for me to go to the City Lord’s Mansion in Yuan City for a look?”

After some thought, Zhuge Ming replied: “I believe it’s not necessary; better to speak after gathering information.”

Lin Qian nodded, thinking that acting rashly would indeed be unwise, possibly alerting the opposition.

With this in mind, Lin Qian continued to sit where he was, quietly waiting.

But just then, Lin Qian suddenly opened his eyes because he sensed someone was at the front of the mansion, trying to barge in.

At this moment, a playful smile appeared on Lin Qian’s face as he got up and walked toward the entrance of the main hall.

At this time, there was a member of the Human Clan strolling leisurely into the courtyard in front of the main hall.

Sun Wukong and the others had already left and hadn’t encountered this person.

Otherwise, considering Sun Wukong’s temperament, he might have swung his staff directly at the intruder’s head, killing him outright.

As this person broke into the mansion, had it not been for Lin Qian’s timely order to stop, the hidden Qing Yue and golden armored guards might have acted to kill the intruder directly.

Now, the proud Human Clan member in the courtyard shook his head in delight as he looked toward Lin Qian, filled with arrogance.

Yet the intruder didn’t realize he had narrowly escaped death’s door.

The Human Clan member before Lin Qian was merely at the Dao Realm, yet he acted with great conceit.

“Who are you, barging in without permission? Isn’t that improper?” Zhuge Ming, beside Lin Qian, asked sharply as his expression tensed, looking at the Human Clan member before them.

“Barging in?” The proud Human Clan member in the courtyard suddenly raised his chin, satisfied with himself, “Do you know that this Yuan City belongs to my master.”

“Entering my master’s property—how can that be considered barging in?”

The Human Clan member’s words made Lin Qian’s expression harden slightly, while Zhuge Ming beside him retorted: “Ridiculous! This mansion is my master’s private property, purchased, when did it become your master’s possession?”

“My master is the City Lord of Yuan City, everything within the city belongs to him, including this mansion.” The Human Clan member smirked, “As the steward of the City Lord Mansion, arriving in person, how dare you not kneel upon seeing me, such audacity!”

Saying this, the Human Clan man shouted out suddenly, borrowing the City Lord’s prestige to intimidate.

In his eyes, the mansion was part of Yuan City, hence his master’s property, even if Lin Qian had bought it, it remained his master’s possession.

“What if we don’t kneel?” Lin Qian asked coldly, his expression icy, staring at the conceited Human Clan member in front of him.
