The city gate of the main city of the Western Region was a towering stone gate. The stone was not an ordinary stone, but a profound gold stone that was as hard as metal.
A ten-meter-tall metal gate was inserted into the ground like a beheading axe, completely blocking the city gate. Not even a fly could fly in.
In addition, there were dozens of guards wielding long axes guarding the city gate loyally.
They were all sturdy, muscular, and powerful. Although the long axe in his hand was not a treasure, it was forged from a special metal and was extremely sturdy.
Those long axes looked very heavy, but when they were held in their hands, they seemed to be so light that they had no mass. They did not feel the slightest bit of strain.
Just as Lin Yun approached the city gate, he was stopped by the guards.
"Who is it? Halt! " rdquo;
The two guards crossed their axes in front of Lin Yun and questioned Lin Yun with a fierce tone.
Lin Yun said indifferently, "I am a rogue martial artist from a small city. I heard that the Western Region has been running amok with bandits recently, and the City Lord is recruiting warriors for the sake of suppressing the bandits. Although I am not from the Western Region, I still want to contribute to the Western Region and contribute to the kingdom. rdquo;
Long before he went to the Western Region, Lin Yun had already obtained enough information from the Country Protector Lord. Naturally, he knew that the Marquis of the Western Region was recruiting warriors from all over the country.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, one of the guards could not help but sneer, "Contribute to the Western Region? I think you're doing it for the reward of a million gold coins, right? rdquo;
The other guard also mocked, "With your weak appearance, you still want to follow us to suppress the bandits? For the sake of money, you don't even want your life? rdquo;
Although these guards looked sturdy, their cultivation was actually only at the ninth level of the Martial Disciple realm. They had not reached the Martial Warrior realm, so they were unable to sense Lin Yun's cultivation.
Although Lin Yun had disguised himself as a middle-aged man, he was unable to change the size of his body. He still looked like a fifteen-year-old youth. Compared to these guards, he looked even more fragile.
It was precisely because of this that these guards looked down on Lin Yun.
At this moment, many commoners who were going in and out of the city came over to watch the commotion after seeing someone being stopped by the guards. They pointed at Lin Yun and discussed animatedly.
Lin Yun replied in a very calm tone, "You're right. I'm indeed here to make money. However, I believe that I have the ability to earn this money. Please open the city gates and let me see the City Lord. rdquo;
"The City Lord has specifically instructed us to only recruit warriors above the seventh level of the warrior realm. Have you met this requirement? A guard looked at Lin Yun with disdain. Obviously, he didn't think that Lin Yun had reached the seventh rank.
Lin Yun didn't say anything and just nodded expressionlessly.
Seeing Lin Yun nod, the guards revealed suspicious expressions.
One of the guards with a face full of scars directly raised his axe and placed it on Lin Yun's neck, "You said that you have reached the seventh rank. Then let me test your strength. rdquo;
With the axe on his neck, Lin Yun was still expressionless and didn't react at all. He didn't even look at the axe and said to the guard in a faint tone, "You'd better look behind you first. rdquo;
After Lin Yun finished speaking, a series of sounds of people falling to the ground sounded.
Plop!
Plop!
Plop …
Hearing this sound, the scarred guard was shocked. From the corner of his eye, he saw the onlookers on the side holding their faces with their hands and looking behind him with a broken expression.
A bad feeling suddenly emerged in the scarred guard's heart and he hurriedly turned his head to look behind him.
The scene that happened in front of him completely refreshed his worldview.
All the guards who were holding long axes fell to the ground at this time and didn't move at all.
"What … What's going on?! The scarred guard was completely dumbfounded, and even the hand holding the axe began to tremble.
What the hell is going on?
Why are the others all lying on the ground?
Did the person in front of him just do something?
Impossible, he clearly didn't do anything!
The scarred guard turned his head to look at the onlookers, his eyes full of doubts, as if asking the crowd what happened just now.
The onlookers were all dumbfounded and couldn't understand what had just happened.
Because the young man wearing a straw hat in front of them really didn't do anything. Just at the moment when the axe was pressed against his neck, he looked at the other guards and those guards just fell inexplicably.
Making people fall with just a glance?
Is this really something that a human can do?
In the eyes of the onlookers at the scene, this kind of thing has completely subverted their understanding.
There is no doubt that what Lin Yun just used was just his eye technique.
Lin Yun's current Divine Sense realm has reached the second realm of Divine Sense, the surpassing realm.
Although his eye technique can't be effective against people with strong mental strength, it is more than enough to deal with these Martial Disciples guarding the gate.
"You … What the hell did you do to them?! The scarred guard looked at Lin Yun at this time, there was no longer the contempt and disdain in his eyes before, but instead, there was awe and fear.
"Do you want to know? Lin Yun still replied with an expressionless face, his tone was still very calm.
But this abnormal calmness at this time made the scarred guard feel a chill that seemed to freeze his soul, making his whole body ooze cold sweat.
"No, no, no … No need." The scarred guard was so scared that his hands trembled, and even the axe on Lin Yun's neck fell to the ground.
Lin Yun didn't move and still said calmly, "I want to see your City Lord, do I need to repeat this sentence again? rdquo;
The scarred guard's body trembled violently, and then he said in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes, yes, I will go immediately, immediately. rdquo;
After saying that, the scarred guard ran to the city gate and asked the guards inside the city to open the gate.
After the city gate opened, Lin Yun stepped over the fallen guard and swaggered into the main city of Xi Province, then went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.
The guards waiting outside the City Lord's Mansion had all reached the Martial Soldier realm. Therefore, they were much more tactful than the guards at the city gate. After hearing that Lin Yun had come to participate in the bandit suppression operation, they immediately brought Lin Yun into the mansion to meet the City Lord. They were also very respectful and polite to Lin Yun along the way.
Under the lead of the guards, Lin Yun soon met the City Lord of Xi Province, the Marquis of Xi Province, in the City Lord's Mansion.
The Marquis of Western Prefecture was a stooped old man in his sixties. He wore a patterned black robe and held a black skull staff in his hand. His face was covered in wrinkles and there was a skull totem engraved on it. He looked neither good nor evil.
