Chapter 1323 Causing Trouble at the City Lord's Mansion

“Of course not, I’m just trying my luck. If you can provide clues, I can also give you a thousand magic stones as a reward. Of course, the clues must be genuine. My family has someone urgently needing this Soul Mushroom to save a life, so I’m determined to get it,” said Chu Linfeng.

The shopkeeper glanced at Chu Linfeng and said, “If you want to know the origin of the Soul Mushroom, you need to ask the City Lord of this city. Maybe he knows the origin of this precious medicine. That’s the only information I can provide.”

Chu Linfeng felt a bit disappointed, “Could the City Lord really know the whereabouts of the Soul Mushroom? You’re not just fooling me, are you? You better not deceive me. You know, both of us are at the Demon Emperor’s realm; killing you would be very easy.”

“Sir, I’m telling the truth. How could I deceive you? You’ll know when you go. Our City Lord is knowledgeable about everything under the heavens and everything on earth. When you go, it definitely won’t be because of me,” the shopkeeper said.

Chu Linfeng glanced at the shopkeeper and said, “I hope you’re not lying, or you’ll be sorry! Here are a thousand magic stones as a reward for providing the clue. My family has nothing but wealth.”

The shopkeeper, after accepting the magic stones from Chu Linfeng, almost burst into laughter, “What else do you need, sir? If I know, I’ll definitely tell you.”

“Do you know the Ten Thousand Demon Cave? I’ve heard there are numerous fierce and evil residual souls inside. It’s said that places like that produce special soul-related medicines. Perhaps the Soul Mushroom might appear there,” the Jade Immortal Emperor said at this moment.

“The Ten Thousand Demon Cave? Of course, I know it. Most people in the Demon Realm know it. How could you not know? It’s quite strange!” The shopkeeper looked at Chu Linfeng and the Jade Immortal Emperor with a puzzled expression and asked.

“What’s so strange about it? We’re from a Hidden Clan, so naturally we wouldn’t know about these things. We came out this time because we had no choice but to search for spirit medicine. Otherwise, what do you think it was?” The Jade Immortal Emperor said seriously.

“So that’s how it is. But the Ten Thousand Demon Cave is too dangerous. I’ve heard that it’s filled with residual souls, some of which are as powerful as Demon Emperors. Most people who enter never return. The Ten Thousand Demon Cave is about three thousand miles from here. If you want to go, I advise you to find more people to enter together. This way, the danger will be lessened. Once you leave the city gate, head east and ask around to find it.” The shopkeeper advised.

Upon hearing this from the shopkeeper, both Chu Linfeng and the Jade Immortal Emperor felt pleased. The thousand magic stones were not spent in vain, “We were just asking. We should first talk to the City Lord. Perhaps the Soul Mushroom isn’t there, and we won’t need to go see it,” Chu Linfeng said.

Then, Chu Linfeng and the Jade Immortal Emperor left, while the shopkeeper laughed, “Truly fat sheep, so easy to trick. The Ten Thousand Demon Cave is a forbidden area in the Demon Realm; not everyone can enter it. The more you go east, the farther you get from the Ten Thousand Demon Cave. And they claim to be from the Hidden Clan; they’re just brainless fools.”

Of course, Chu Linfeng and the Jade Immortal Emperor didn’t know this. If they did, the shopkeeper’s life would definitely be at risk. At this moment, the two were rushing to the City Lord’s Mansion, possibly having to resort to force this time.

After asking around for the direction to the City Lord’s Mansion, the two quickly arrived at its gate, only to be stopped by the guards, “Who are you? This is the City Lord’s Mansion. Not just anyone can enter. Get lost!”

A guard’s tone was very unpleasant, which made Chu Linfeng very upset. Before he could act, the Jade Immortal Emperor flashed and slapped the guard several meters away. The guard was slapped so hard that blood flowed from his mouth, and a few teeth fell out. It took him a long time to get back up.

Few dare to attack at the City Lord’s Mansion gate, and this startled the guards. “How audacious to cause trouble at the City Lord’s Mansion. No matter who you are, you’re doomed. Brothers, cripple these two,” a middle-aged man who seemed to be the head guard yelled angrily at Chu Linfeng and the others, looking down on them.

“If you want to die, I’ll grant your wish!” Chu Linfeng said and dashed like a shadow toward the speaking guard, ending his life by striking his chest with a palm.

“Murder! Murder!” A guard shouted in terror and ran quickly inside the mansion, seemingly to report the situation.

That was exactly what Chu Linfeng wanted, to draw more people and kill a few so the City Lord would recognize their strength, making it easier to question him.

Then, he and the Jade Immortal Emperor directly entered the City Lord’s Mansion, while the gate guards kept retreating, afraid to stop them. Jokingly, anyone who could slay the guard leader in a single hit had at least the realm of a Demon Monarch, as the guard leader had the strength of a Demon General.

The news of killings at the City Lord’s Mansion gate quickly spread within the mansion. At this moment, a middle-aged man was leisurely playing chess with an elder in a beautifully decorated study. The reporting guard reached the door and shouted, “City Lord, something bad has happened! Two individuals are causing trouble at the mansion gate and killed the guard leader. The intruders are incredibly powerful; the guard leader was slain in one strike.”

The middle-aged man was naturally the City Lord. He frowned slightly, “Who dares to cause trouble here in my place? Elder Zhang, shall we check it out? Let’s finish this game after dealing with those two. I’m eager to see who is so bold.”

“All will be at the City Lord’s command. You’ll lose this round. If you don’t believe me, try playing later,” the elder said.

Then the middle-aged man and the elder left the room, “Go notify the major Protectors and Elders to capture the intruders who killed at my City Lord’s Mansion. Make sure not to let them escape,” the middle-aged man ordered the guard.

The guard ran off, while Chu Linfeng and the Jade Immortal Emperor arrived at the Martial Arts Training Ground of the City Lord’s Mansion. By this time, dozens had gathered there, all staring at them.

“Who are you, boy, daring to cause trouble at my king’s place? If you don’t explain, I will make you wish for life over death,” the middle-aged man and elder appeared before Chu Linfeng.

Chu Linfeng glanced at the middle-aged man and the elder, realizing their powers had reached the Late Stage Demon Emperor realm, with the elder’s strength seemingly slightly higher. For others, they might be tough opponents, but for him, they held no value in his eyes.

“So you’re the City Lord. I’m here to discuss something with you, and you’d better send these people away, or suffer the consequences yourself,” Chu Linfeng said calmly.

“Arrogant! How dare you be disrespectful to the City Lord; boy, prepare to die!” a middle-aged man in the Early-stage Demon Emperor realm shouted in anger, quickly flashing towards Chu Linfeng in attack…
