Qingfeng Li shook his head. “I don’t have any monarch level elixirs.”

“It’s alright if you don’t have any,” the silver-haired Captain of the Guards said, his voice cold. “When you enter, you’ll have to work for the City Lord for one month. The people who had just entered didn’t have any monarch level elixirs, either. They’re going to work at the City Lord’s Estate. Do you agree to this?”

Qingfeng Li frowned, his expression darkening. He was extremely unwilling to work for someone else.

Beside him, the Sky Wolf Emperor, Mengyao Xu, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Lingyun Emperor all frowned. They were all individuals of dignity. Naturally, they weren’t about to bow to anyone else.

Qingfeng Li smiled humorlessly. “Is there a third option?”

“Of course,” the silver-haired Guard Captain replied, “and that is to defeat me.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. “Then I’ll take the third option.”

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the surrounding self-cultivators all laughed, with the guards in black laughing especially loud.

The guards were well aware of how powerful their Captain was. He was definitely among the strongest of the masters of the Half-Step Spirit Monarch Realm, just about to truly break through to the Spirit Monarch Realm.

A short while ago, there had been a a Half-Step Spirit Monarch Realm master who had been unwilling to submit and wanted to challenge the Captain. In the end, the Captain broke one of his legs with a single blow and had him thrown into the City Lord’s Estate; he was currently there, watering flowers.

“Qingfeng Li,” the Sky Wolf Emperor spoke, “how about you let me fight him?”

Qingfeng Li shook his head. “Senior,” he said, “Believe me. I will definitely defeat him.”

Qingfeng Li walked forward; the self-cultivators around him moved aside, clearing a wide path so the two men would have space to fight.

The silver-haired Guard Captain stood there, his silver armor making an impressive sight. He radiated a powerful energy that warped the space around them, creating fissures in the air. His power was evident.

Qingfeng Li activated the clairvoyance in his right eye. Looking closely, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. He realized that the armor that the Guard Captain was wearing was actually a Monarch Level Class One spiritual treasure. No wonder he acted so cocky.

Monarch Level Class One Spiritual treasures were extremely powerful. Ordinary self-cultivators would never be able to break through its defenses.

Although the other was wearing a set of powerful armor, Qingfeng Li was not worried because he had the Dragon Bone in his right index finger.

The Dragon Bone held immense power; it was the sharpest thing in the world. It could, naturally, pierce through a mere piece of armor with ease.

“Sky Lasher Fist!” The silver-haired Captain gave a livid shout as he abruptly swung his right fist. It formed a black beam of light, several thousand meters in size, which crashed violently toward Qingfeng Li.

This massive fist contained a Monarch Laws. Talisman scripts of Order swirled on its surface, sparkling with silver light.

Qingfeng Li smiled, his expression calm, as he spoke softly, “Wolf God Law.”

Qingfeng Li reached into the void with a finger, releasing a tremor that formed a giant Wolf God several thousand meters tall. Its surface sparkled with Wolf God Talisman scripts of Order, along with a hint of the power of the Dragon Bone.

Qingfeng Li tapped the air in front of him with a finger, and opening its massive maw, the Wolf God Law bit down heavily onto the silver-haired Captain’s Sky Lasher Fist. With a loud crunch, the fist was gone.

The expression on the face of the silver-haired Captain changed, his eyes filled with disbelief. He had never have thought that his strongest attack would be dispelled so easily by Qingfeng Li. How could the Monarch Law Qingfeng Li used be so powerful? He felt his heart skip a beat.

Qingfeng Li’s right index finger continued to create tremors through the void, creating a massive Wolf God Law, which dashed forward with its maw wide open.

Sensing the Wolf God Law’s immense power, the silver-haired Guard Captain felt the color drain from his face. Not daring to hesitate another instant, he used his own Monarch Law to create a massive Talisman script of Order, formed from silver talisman scripts. It sought to freeze the Wolf God Law with the mercurial power it contained.

But the Captain had underestimated the Wolf God Law. This was a Law created from the first wolf to ever exist in the world. With a mystical force, it smashed the silver pillar of water apart.

Immediately after, the Wolf God Law slammed heavily onto the body of the silver-haired Captain, sending him flying backward several dozen meters before finally crashing into the ground. He opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, clearly wounded. Even the silver armor he was wearing was cracked.

Clang, clang, clang…

The surrounding guards all pointed out their spears, besieging Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li smirked. “What, do you lot want to attack me?” he remarked, voice heavy with disdain, “Your Captain said so himself, If I could defeat him, he’ll let me into the City.”

The faces of the dozens of black-clad guards all darkened. They did not speak, but they didn’t stand aside, either.

Struggling, the silver-haired Guard Captain stood up from the ground. He wiped at the blood on the corner of his lips as he glared at Qingfeng Li bitterly. “Stand aside,” he said, “let him enter the city.”

The Sky Wolf Emperor, Mengyao Xu, Black Puppy, the Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Lingyun Emperor all followed Qingfeng Li as he walked quickly through the city gates.

Behind them, the silver-haired Guard Captain glared at Qingfeng Li with eyes filled with spite and killing intent. Qingfeng Li had made him lose face today; if he could, he would have killed him right there and then.

However, the silver-haired Captain was aware that Qingfeng Li was stronger than him. He had also set the terms himself, so he couldn’t go back on his word. He had to take this loss gracefully, or it would be a stain on the reputation of the Lord of the Emerald Lake City. If the City Lord presses charges then, he would also be punished.

Beside Qingfeng Li, the Sky Wolf Emperor glanced at Qingfeng Li. “That silver-haired Captain, he’s directing killing intent at you?”

Qingfeng Li nodded. “I know,” he said. “He’d better not mess with me. If he does, I wouldn’t mind killing him.”

As Qingfeng Li and his people walked along the broad streets of Emerald Lake City, they felt a wave of scorching energy. The ground was paved entirely from emerald-green meteor stone. These were Eighth Grade meteor stones, every one of them containing immense power. The footfalls of the people walking along it could not leave a single trace on this material.

The street was very wide, enough for a dozen or more horse-drawn carriages to pass shoulder-to-shoulder. To either side of the street were planted ancient, towering trees, each one over a thousand years old and measuring seven or eight meters across the trunk.

These ancient trees sported dense, lush foliage and sparkled with Talisman scripts of Order. They exuded a mysterious energy and, when drawing a breath, made passers-by feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

Behind the trees were countless stores. There were shops of all kinds, elixir stores, weapon stores, Spiritual treasure stores, spirit herb stores, among many others.

“Let’s go. We’ll find an inn to stay at first.” Qingfeng Li led the group forward.

They came to an inn that was called the Emerald Lake Inn. This building was thirty-three storeys high, constructed entirely from jade-green veluriyam and etched with all kinds of shining talisman scripts.

Suddenly, Qingfeng Li’s pupils contracted. He spotted a familiar face in the lobby of the inn. It was Ya Yun.
