Dragon Monarch
Chapter 397 - Meeting the Mayor
Lin Yan and Xia Yue'er were currently approaching towards a certain city which was a small town that was in the Li Clan s territory.
When he reached the city gate, Lin Yan was a little surprised even though the city was very small, very many cultivators passed by. There were no guards at all who usually quoted the entrance fee into the city.
From this, Lin Yan was well aware that the Li Clan that had many cities under his control was not trying to reap great profits from cultivators, either, and it could be seen that all the cities managed by the Li Clan were cities of trade.
“The city is very crowded.” Xia Yue'er who was in her VIP seat also stared at all the passing cultivators in front of the small town gate.
“Yes. The Li Clan was the manager of the Alchemist Association. Of course the city they manage will be very crowded. Because, all their cities are used as a big trading place.” Lin Yan nodded small and added.
“Then, where will we start? Do we have to ask every cultivator that is here where the Li Clan is located?” Xia Yue'er asked.
“I can confirm that only a few of them know the location of the Li Clan. Because, such strength if their place is revealed to the public, many cultivators will be eyeing them.” said Lin Yan.
“Then, how do we know the location of the Li Clan? Do we have to capture all these cultivators and then threaten them? There must be one of them who will know the location of the Li.” Clan Xia Yue'er gave a suggestion for being too lazy to think.
Hearing Xia Yue'er's suggestion, Lin Yan did not know what to reply to. Without speaking he walked towards the center of the city, of course the ruler or could be said to be the Mayor must know where the location of the Li Clan was.
Arriving at the destination location, Lin Yan gazed towards the building guarded by several second stage Emperor Realm level cultivators.
Some cultivators or people who had influence were seen going inside and doing certain checks.
Arriving in front of the guards, they stopped Lin Yan.
“Token Identity.”
Lin Yan was silent for a while then took out the Token that Li Hao had once given him whether it was working or not.
“Hm?” A frown appeared on the forehead of the guard when he saw the Token issued by Lin Yan. He also looked towards Lin Yan back carefully to find out who Lin Yan really was.
“I want to meet someone influential in this place.” Lin Yan also said his goal.
“This token should not be in the hands of someone who is not from the Li Clan. And you have absolutely no Li Clan tokens commonly used by them. But, you can wait, I will call the Mayor first.” The guard naturally did not want to take the Token directly because if Lin Yan had any relationship with the Li Clan, he would be exposed to trouble if it made things difficult for Lin Yan.
Lin Yan only gave a small nod and did not mind waiting. From that, he knew that it seemed that the Token owned by Li Hao had a huge influence.
One of the guards directly went inside and one more guard led Lin Yan into the waiting room.
After waiting for a few minutes, an old man walked into the waiting room provided at the venue.
When Lin Yan looked towards the old man, his eyes narrowed slightly as he could feel the immense power of a very old man.
“Can you tell me your identity? The token you have is an important Token member of the Li Clan, and you are not a member of the Li Clan. Tell me, where did you get that Token.” The old man did not introduce himself at all but still gave Lin Yan an opportunity to explain the sign that he was unlike the other arrogant cultivators.
“Good, I'll get straight to the point as well. I am Lin Yan, and I obtained this Token from someone named Li Hao. He said that if I want to pay a visit to the Li Clan, with this Token, I can enter the Li.” Clan Lin Yan said as he showed the Token in his hand.
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Li Hao and Lin's first name.
“Li Hao? Isn't that the Patriarch's grandson who recently arrived from the Northern Mainland? And this young man surnamed Lin?” The old man's inner self while glancing towards Lin Yan's shoulder. He could faintly see the form of Xia Yue'er who seemed to be putting on a bored face all the time.
The old man knew that Xia Yue'er was a Spirit, but he had never seen what kind of Spirit Xia Yue'er was. And that makes him confused, why the Spirit came out when there was no fight. Usually the Spirit will only cross when there is a fight done by the one who did the Contract with him.
And also, if it was true that Lin Yan was very familiar with Li Hao to the point that Li Hao gave him the Token, he said, he instantly knew what purpose Lin Yan had come to the city he managed at the behest of the Li Clan. And Lin Yan's goal according to him was to find the specific Location of the Li Clan.
“Because you are going there, I will say it frankly. In order to reach the Li Clan, it was almost as difficult to reach the location of a certain enclosed place as the Ancient Clan and the Two Strongest Sects. So, you should have a guide to go there. It just so happens that this time we will send an important item to the Li Clan, and some cultivators will go there. You can go along with them.” The old man said in a flat tone and was not afraid at all if Lin Yan did something that made a loss for them because the cultivator he sent out had as much cultivation level as the third stage Emperor Realm three guys.
Before Lin Yan spoke, the old man continued again, “You will be leaving soon, not for another half hour.”
After saying that, the old man left the place in an instant. Even though Lin Yan possessed the Li Clan Token, his true identity was unknown. And regarding Lin Yan's first name, the old man didn't think that Lin Yan was from the Lin Clan because Lin Yan didn't wear the clothes of the Lin Clan members nor did he have any Lin Clan tokens.
“Lin Yan. Even she did not introduce herself.” Xia Yue'er said slightly exasperated.
“Yue’er, you should know that he has seen you before. Even though the old man seemed unconcerned, if we do something that he does not want to do, he will immediately finish us off. If not mistaken, he has a cultivation level above the Emperor Realm.” Lin Yan said.
“Really?” Xia Yue'er was shocked when she heard what Lin Yan said as the two of them had not currently reached the level of the Emperor Realm yet.
Lin Yan only sighed as he gazed towards the tiny Fairy Spirit as it was not too careful by anything around it. He wondered what if Xia Yue'er was alone, it was certain that something bad would happen to him.
**
In a place not too far away from the Li Clan, some cultivators seemed to be waiting for something.
“Is it true that you said that the young man was in this city?” Ask one of them.
“Yes. Even though it's only a 70% chance, I guess it's him.” The others nodded small.
“Ha-ha-ha. was unexpected. It seems that we will throw two birds with just one stone. Prepare an army, we will ambush the cultivator who sent the goods to the Li Clan, we also simultaneously capture that young man.” Wild laughter sounded from the cultivator who asked earlier knowing that if everything was true, then they would get double luck.
Lin Yan had no idea that his trip to the Li Clan would get into trouble which eventually made him have an unexpected additional enemy.
