Immortal Warriors
IW 56 - Heidong City

Actually Ling Zhen still wanted to enjoy the early days of his marriage with Ji Yanran, but nevertheless he had to hurry to complete his goal.

Aside from having discovered the mysterious figure of Queen Chu and being able to heal her Mother, Ling Zhen had also managed to kill one of the members of the Demon Worshiping Sect who massacred her family.

Before leaving Jihao City, Ling Zhen listened to Ji Yanran's message to him, besides Ji Yanran also told him everything about the Hei family and the Wang family, as well, including the relationship of the two families with the Gluttony Lantern.

“This is retaliation. I'm ready for this. And I can't go back.” Ling Zhen was aware of the consequences of revenge, but he could not be a half-human who lacked determination.

It took about four days for Ling Zhen to arrive at Heidong City. Before landing in Heidong City, Ling Zhen chose to rest in the forest and train his body aura.

With the resources he possessed, Ling Zhen absorbed the Spirit Gem's efficacy. Not to forget also he ate fruits that included high-efficiency resources.

‘Family Hey, they really have acted out of bounds..’ Ling Zhen shook his head slowly considering Ji Yanran's words if the Hei family had the biggest business land of human trafficking.

After feeling well rested, Ling Zhen continued his journey towards Heidong City, a city directly adjacent to the ocean that was the crossroads between empires.

Ling Zhen headed for the harbor following Ji Yanran's direction to free the slaves who were escorted abroad.

The two countries that were targeted by the Hei family's slave sales were Ezzo Country and Fuyumi Country.

Ling Zhen himself was curious about the names of the two countries, according to Ji Yanran, Ezzo Country and Fuyumi Country is a closed country and does not cooperate with the three empires in the Five Colors Continent.

The main threat was actually a power from outside this continent. There were even rumors about the Demon Worshiping Sect coming from outside the Five Color Continent.

Ling Zhen wanted to search for the truth by looking at it for himself. After all his journey was still long and he had rounded up his resolve to finish off the entire Demon Worshiping Sect members with his own hands.

As Ling Zhen landed on the ramparts surrounding Heidong City, he watched closely the guards who numbered around fifty people. The abilities of the guards were more or less below those of the Early Stage Sacred Swordsman.

It didn't take long for Ling Zhen to land in front of the gate and make the guards point weapons at him.

“Young man, what's your purpose for coming to Heidong City?” One of the guards who had the ability of an Intermediate-stage Sacred Swordsman walked arrogantly closer to Ling Zhen.

“My destination? I just want to say hello to family members Hey.” Ling Zhen smiled faintly as the guards approaching him released a huge amount of murderous aura.

“All of you, catch this brat-” The guard widens his eyes as Ling Zhen unleashes a deadly murderous aura.

Without further ado, Ling Zhen took out the Nine Dragons Sword and began to finish off one guard after another.

There was no significant resistance from the guards, the commotion at the city gate caused the residents to panic and enter the house.

Ling Zhen walked calmly through the streets of the city and headed straight for the harbor with the science of lightening the body.

“Phoenix Breath Art!” In a single breath of his, Ling Zhen moved quickly and released a storm-making slash.

“Don't stand there, young man! Do you have great guts blocking us?!” The man who had a high stature looked down at Ling Zhen.

“A mouse don't get in the way of a tiger!” One of the swordsmen swung his sword at Ling Zhen's neck, but it was precisely the swordsman's neck that was pierced by the Nine Dragons Sword.

As the Gluttonous Lantern warriors kept their distance from Ling Zhen, they all felt a dense murderous aura and suppressed their movements.

“He didn't mean to kill you and you killed him!”

“Really! What is your real purpose?! There should be no one who dares to bully Heidong City, not even the imperial family!”

Hearing the words of the Gluttonous Lantern warriors, Ling Zhen laughed and held his head.

“Listen, this bastard swung his sword at my neck. Am I not just defending myself? Don't say things as if you're a saint, damn bastard!” Ling Zhen stared intently at the Gluttonous Lantern warriors who were staring in fear.

“When you swing your sword at someone else, you're ready to die, right?” Ling Zhen was already in front of the swordsman who was sculpting and releasing his sword slash.

Seeing Ling Zhen's abilities far above theirs, the Gluttonous Lantern warriors who were guarding the port crowded around Ling Zhen.

“A mouse? Let's prove here who a real rat and tiger is!” Ling Zhen smiled grinningly at the sheer number of warriors surrounding him.

“Thousand rats though will not be able to kill an angry tiger!” With one breath Ling Zhen had already killed ten warriors in one breath.

The commotion that Ling Zhen was doing was provoking the arrival of one of the main members of the Hei family named Hei Yang.

Hei Yang came with two executives from the Gluttony Lantern, instantly the faces of the warriors who surrounded Ling Zhen improved.

Ling Zhen stopped moving and watched Hei Yang intently, the man looked arrogant and grinning sharply at him.

“Young man, tell me what is your name? I intend to make you my bodyguard, and I will forgive your mistake!” Hey Yang is pretty haughty saying that. He thought Ling Zhen would respond to his request.

“Don't joke! Forgive me? I came here to kill and your whole family, Hey Yang!” A moment of red colored fire surrounded Ling Zhen and the entire people who were surrounding him.

Hei Yang's face paled as he looked at Ling Zhen's sharp gaze. According to him this young man had a deep grudge against him even the Hei family.

Given that the Hei family has committed acts such as slavery and even slaughter, of course many people hold grudges against the Hei family.

“Satan Rakus, Taring Gluttony! Kill this brash young man!” Hei Yang pointed at Ling Zhen, instantly appearing two men of rugged appearance and possessing the ability of an Intermediate Stage Earth Swordsman.

Ling Zhen shook his head, “Think who came out, it turned out that only two losers were acting rogue!” Hearing Ling Zhen's provocation, instantly the Voracious Demons and Fanged Ferns unleashed a murderous aura and darted forward releasing their sword and machete slashes.
