Heavenly God City under Guard
Heavenly God City.
As the capital of the God Realm, Heavenly God City had always been bustling with activity. It was one of the most populated cities in the world. However, ever since the Battle of Geniuses began, the city had become somewhat deserted.
Even though the streets were still packed with people, and many foreign experts had come to visit, the entire city wasn't as bustling as before.
However, the entire capital city was not as bustling and bustling as before. In comparison, there was a somewhat dull aura that enveloped the entire city.
"It seems the situation isn't as optimistic as I thought."
Ye Zichen had just arrived through Skyspan City's spatial transfer formation. Although Heavenly God City hadn't suffered as much of a disaster as he'd imagined, he wasn't particularly optimistic either.
Everywhere he looked, he could see soldiers clad in battle armor. They carried their weapons and vigilantly patrolled the city.
From the streets to the skies, there were guards everywhere.
That wasn't all. As soon as he emerged from the transfer formation, he sensed several auras at least at the diviner level. It was as if they were trying to spy on him, but as soon as they got close, Pu Jingwan blocked them.
"The people here really aren't polite."
Pu Jingwan furrowed her brows in annoyance. Spying on others with their auras was like stripping them naked for everyone to see. It wasn't as simple as prying on someone's privacy.
Pu Jingwan frowned and crossed her arms. Before she'd even finished speaking, she saw a squad of guards approach.
Judging from their aggressive demeanor, they were most likely here for the two of them.
"Wait a moment."
The person who spoke to Ye Zichen and co. was a man who was armed to the teeth. From his eyes, Ye Zichen could tell that he was definitely not young. Of course, no cultivator on the Divine Mountains was too young. Most importantly, this man wasn't one of the younger generation.
Judging from his tone, he was fairly polite. He reached out and stopped Ye Zichen and Pu Jingwan, who were just about to leave.
"Please show me your identification."
The guard already extended his hand. Ye Zichen casually took out his crystal card.
"And this one …."
The guard captain pointed at Pu Jingwan. This put Ye Zichen in a difficult position.
Only people from the Divine Mountains possessed identification cards. Pu Jingwan was an Outsider, so how could she possibly have one?
"We came from Skyspan City. She left her crystal card at home," explained Ye Zichen.
"Then I'm sorry, your friend will have to follow us." Following the captain's words, his team members had already surrounded him.
"You can't possibly not tell that we're both gods, can you?" Ye Zichen knit his brows.
"If you don't have a crystal card, you won't be able to identify us. Little brother, it's best if you don't care. We are just following orders. If your friend really left her crystal card in Heaven Connect City, we naturally have a way to prove her innocence. If she's not … we also have your identity information here. When the time comes, you might need to stay with us for a while, "the guard captain said.
So harsh? A solemn expression flashed across Ye Zichen's face.
It was obvious that the relationship between the God Race, the Yao Race, and the Demon Race had undergone some subtle changes.
Otherwise, the divine race would not be so paranoid.
Especially since Pu Jingwan's aura clearly belonged to the God Race.
"You suspect my friend of being a demon?" asked Ye Zichen.
"I wouldn't call it a suspicion, but I can't deny it, either. Your friend doesn't have an identity crystal card that belongs to the God Race. You should be clear about this. If you want to prove your friend's identity, you'd best come with us, "said the guard captain kindly.
"Then why are the yao and demons allowed to roam the city as they please? My friend simply doesn't have a crystal card, yet you're targeting her like this. If she doesn't have a crystal card, just treat her as a yao or demon, "said Ye Zichen.
"Are you …. sure?"
The guard captain's tone suddenly slowed. As soon as he spoke, both Ye Zichen and Pu Jingwan sensed his aura change dramatically.
If he had explained it in a friendly manner before, then his words were a little sharper after he finished speaking.
"If you're trying to say your friend is a yao or demon, can you explain to us why she's pretending to be a god, and why …. You're covering for her, saying she left her crystal card in Skyspan City. What are you trying to do?"
Suddenly, Ye Zichen recalled the demons they'd encountered who could hide their auras. Back then, they'd sent their corpses to Skyspan Academy. Could it be that the gods had made some progress? Was that why they were so cautious? She didn't have a crystal card, yet she was pretending to be a god?
Ye Zichen couldn't help but curse himself for saying the wrong thing. He'd almost forgotten that demons could disguise their auras.
After what he'd just said, there was no way he could clear his name. If he tried to explain, he might just make things worse.
Originally, he'd just wanted to cooperate with the guards and not mention his identity ….
But now it seemed he had no choice.
"Don't overthink things. My friend is absolutely not a yao or demon. I was just saying it casually," said Ye Zichen.
The captain of the guards looked at him calmly. Ye Zichen took a deep breath.
"There's no way I'm like what you're thinking …."
"I'm not thinking anything. You're the one imagining things. What I'm doing right now is just our job. If you have a crystal card, you can pass. Demons and yao have their own places to separate you. If you don't have a crystal card, you'll have to come with us, "said the captain meticulously.
"Alright, alright, I was overthinking things." Ye Zichen smiled apologetically, then shrugged. "But to tell the truth, there's really no need. Don't you …. Don't you know who I am?"
"I'm sorry, but no matter who you are, your friend doesn't have a crystal card. She'll have to come with us and undergo an inspection."
With that, the captain didn't waste any more words with Ye Zichen. He glanced at his subordinates, and they all attacked Pu Jingwan.
Sky supremes.
The guards were all peak sky supremes at the very least. With a diviner as their captain, they could be considered a fairly strong squad.
But their opponent was Pu Jingwan, someone who ordinary rulers couldn't last more than ten rounds against!
