After entering the city's main hall, Linlong discovered that apart from the city lord, the rest were demons that he had never seen before. Moreover, these demons weren't weak either.
One of them, a grim-faced youth, sat on the city lord's seat.
The moment Linlong entered, he discovered that the other party was glaring at him as though he wanted to kill him.
Linlong didn't need to think to know that the youth was the second prince.
The city lord immediately introduced them. "Chen Xiao, this is the second prince, Luo Wen, and several elders of Nanchuan City."
"Greetings to the second prince and elders," Linlong immediately said.
"Chen Xiao, it seems like you are quite bold!" An old Demon Race man beside the Demon race youth suddenly said at this moment.
"This subordinate is bold because I have the Demon King and the second prince behind me," Linlong replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
The old man from the Demon Race coldly snorted and asked. "There's no other reason why we're here. We just want to know if you colluded with the Demon Race's Di Ke and killed Li Xi and the others."
"My lord, that's not the case. I didn't know what happened at that time and was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I realized that Hall Master Li Xi and the others were already dead," Linlong immediately replied.
"Why are you the only one alive when they are all dead?" The elder furrowed his brows.
"This subordinate was wearing a runic armor, so I was lucky enough not to be killed by Di Ke on the spot," Linlong replied.
"According to what I know, hall master Li Xi was also wearing a runic armor. Why are you still alive when he is dead?" The elder asked again.
"Perhaps it's because of my low status that Di Ke didn't pay much attention to me and didn't realize that I was still alive. If my status was the same as hall master Li Xi's, I would most likely be dead by now," Linlong replied.
"Full of lies!" The elder slammed the chair beneath him and coldly said.
"That is indeed the truth. If elder doesn't believe me, this subordinate has nothing to say," Linlong said indifferently.
"Second prince, this subordinate feels that Chen Xiao is lying. Therefore, I suggest that we capture him immediately." The Demonic Race elder said to the second prince.
"This subordinate also feels that Elder En is right." After the Demon Race elder finished speaking, the other Demon Race elder also chimed in.
How could Linlong not see that these demons were simply targeting him?
He coldly said, "The truth is as this subordinate said. If you want to target me, then I have nothing to say."
"Chen Xiao, you are really bold. How dare you speak to the elders in such a manner!" A demon immediately shouted at Linlong.
At this time, the 2nd Prince coldly looked at Linlong, but did not say anything to him. Instead, he looked at the City Lord and asked, "City Lord Wei Te, what do you think?"
"Second Prince, he's probably lying," the governor of Shading City said.
"Since that's the case, you won't mind if I take Chen Xiao away with me, right?" The second prince couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
"Of course I don't mind." City Lord Wei Te immediately said.
"Alright, bring him back to Nanchuan City!" Second Prince Rowan said.
As soon as he said that, a demon immediately walked towards Linlong.
Linlong merely frowned and did not resist. He allowed the other party to place a restriction on him.
It was simple for Linlong to break such a restriction, so he was not worried.
Then, Second Prince Rowan and the other demons immediately escorted him out of the city hall.
Let's observe the situation first. If it really doesn't work, then I'll think of a way to leave. Linlong thought to himself.
Of course, he could also take them by surprise and leave now. However, if he left, the identity that he painstakingly built up for so many days would immediately become invalid. He did not want to waste so many days of effort in vain, so he decided to temporarily see if there was any way to save himself.
It was also at this time that a voice suddenly sounded in Linlong's ear. "Chen Xiao, don't worry. You will be fine."
Linlong could tell that it was City Lord Wei Te's words. Such words naturally surprised him a little.
It seemed that the City Lord valued him quite a lot. It was only because of Rowan's identity that he said those words that went against his conscience. Linlong thought to himself.
Since City Lord Wei Te spoke to him through secret voice transmission, coupled with the fact that City Lord Wei Te was also very strong, Rowan and the other demons did not notice this.
The news that Linlong was captured by the second prince somehow reached the ears of Deng Lai and the other demons. When Linlong was about to walk out of Shading City, they stood on both sides of the road.
However, they did not dare to oppose Second Prince Rowan, so they could only stand on the side of the road.
Some of the bolder demons took advantage of when Rowan and the other demons were not paying attention to stare at them.
Such a situation made Linlong smile knowingly.
Rowan and the other demons were powerful, so they could naturally feel the dissatisfaction of the surrounding demons. However, Rowan's identity was there, and there was no reason for him to do so, so he could only pretend that he did not notice.
After leaving Shading City, they directly went to Nanchuan City.
An hour later, they arrived at the gate of Nanchuan City. Not long after they walked in, seven or eight demons blocked their way.
The leader was also a young demon. He looked a little similar to Rowan, but his face was not as cold as Rowan's.
Needless to say, the person who dared to block Rowan in Nanchuan City should be a demon of similar status as Rowan.
These days, Linlong had a general understanding of the forces in Nanchuan City. He knew that the Nanchuan Demon King had five sons. Among them, the eldest son, Wei Li, and the second son, Rowan, were the most favored. In the future, his position as Demon King would probably be passed on to one of them.
It was also because of this that Wei Li and Rowan usually fought with each other in order to be superior to each other and leave a good impression in the Nanchuan Demon King's heart.
And now, since this young man dared to block in front of Rowan, he was probably Prince Wei Li, who usually fought with him. The other demons did not have the guts to do so.
Sure enough, when he saw the other party blocking in front of him, Rowan said coldly, "Wei Li, what do you mean by this? Blocking the road in broad daylight?"
"Nothing, I just heard that Second Brother, you brought back a suspect out of nothing, so I came to see what's going on." Wei Li smiled.
"Out of nothing? Wei Li, don't talk nonsense! "Rowan sneered.
"I heard that the yao called Chen Xiao is innocent. It's only because the dead Li Xi had a relationship with you that you targeted him. You vainly wanted an innocent person to accompany Li Xi in death!" Wei Li said tit for tat.
"Wei Li, you're talking nonsense!" Rowan could not help but be angry.
"I'm not talking nonsense. I just can't bear to see you, Rowan, use your status as a prince to do such outrageous things!" Wei Li said coldly.
The conversation between the two demons naturally attracted many demons to surround them. Although it was said that they surrounded them, they also stayed far away. After all, the two parties were princes, and they did not want to be involved.
"Wei Li, I don't have time for you. Get out of my way!" Rowan said directly.
"Get out of my way? Rowan, don't make it sound so easy. If you insist on taking Chen Xiao away, I will definitely report it to Father and say that you abused your power to deal with the innocent! "Wei Li said.
"Wei Li, you're wrong. I don't want to do anything to him. I just think highly of him, so I invited him to my residence." Rowan frowned.
He did not want Wei Li to make a fuss with the Demon King. His words were clearly lowering his head.
"Haha, that's good. Then I will wait for you outside your residence. However, I have to warn you in advance. You cannot do anything to Chen Xiao, whom I have my eyes on." Wei Li could not help but laugh.
As he spoke, Wei Li ordered his subordinates to move aside.
"Wei Li, don't worry!" After coldly saying these words, Rowan led his subordinates and Linlong toward his own residence with an ugly expression.
After entering his residence, he immediately "invited" Linlong to a secret chamber.
As soon as they arrived, Luo Wen immediately tore off his' mask 'and said coldly, "Chen Xiao, are you colluding with Dick or not?"
"Second Prince, I really don't know Dick." How could Linlong admit it?
"You don't want to admit it?" Rowan sneered. As he spoke, he immediately placed a restriction on Linlong's body.
For Linlong, who possessed a body technique, Rowan's restriction was similarly ineffective against him.
However, in order to not expose himself, he naturally pretended to be very uncomfortable. Of course, no matter how "uncomfortable" he was, he would not admit that he had any relationship with Dick.
After torturing Linlong for a while and seeing that he could not get any information out of him, Rowan could only let Linlong leave.
Of course, even if he did not manage to get any information out of Linlong after placing such a restriction, Rowan was still suspicious of him.
The moment Linlong left Rowan's residence, Wei Li, who had long been waiting outside, immediately walked up to him.
"Chen Xiao, Prince Wei Li wants you to meet him." The other party immediately said.
This demon was standing beside Wei Li just now, so Linlong naturally knew that he was not an imposter.
Linlong knew that the reason why Wei Li helped him was because he was competing with Rowan and not because he was Linlong. Therefore, he had long expected that Wei Li would not personally wait here.
As expected, after taking a few steps, the demon said as he walked, "Chen Xiao, the reason why Prince Wei Li spoke up for you is because he has some conflict with Prince Luo Wen. It is not because of you, so you have to be mindful of your status."
"En." Linlong immediately nodded.
Soon, he was brought to Wei Li's residence, and after a period of time, he saw Wei Li.
After seeing Wei Li, Linlong immediately thanked him, "Thank you, Prince Wei Li."
He knew that if it were not for Wei Li, he would probably be locked up in some dungeon and tortured by Rowan every day.
Wei Li sized Linlong up and said, "Are you willing to be my subordinate?"
