The bigger the tree, the more attention it would attract, and this was even more so than the Forgotten Continent's Royal City. Before the opening of the city, Ling Chen didn't think much of it, but after yesterday, Ling Chen started to think that Ling Tian City's sudden rise might cause some sort of reaction from the Royal City. After all, Ling Tian City had completely suppressed the Forgotten City.
However, he had never thought that the Forgotten City would react so quickly … this was only the second day of the opening, and he had never thought that the Forgotten Emperor would personally come! Evidently, the impact that the Forgotten City had received was not just a small one, but the Forgotten Emperor was truly furious … after all, the economic losses were secondary, and the Forgotten Continent's Royal City had been completely suppressed by a newly constructed player's city. This caused the Forgotten City and the Forgotten Emperor to lose all of their dignity and face, so it would be strange if they didn't explode with rage.
From what the players had said, the Forgotten Emperor had not entered the city, and he instead wanted the Lady of Ling Tian City to personally receive him … before they had even met, he was already trying to intimidate the Forgotten Emperor.
"The Forgotten Emperor controls the highest authority in the Forgotten Continent, and he is also the most powerful person. Such a person has personally come to see our beautiful Lady of the City; this has never happened before. It's a pity that he doesn't seem to have good intentions, "Li Xiao Xue said as she narrowed her eyes and looked at Ling Chen.
Yun Meng Xin thought for a moment before saying, "The opening of Ling Tian City has caused the number of players in the Forgotten City to decrease by 99%; anyone would be furious. Just then, the Lady of the White Tiger City and the Lady of the Vermillion Bird City came to attend the opening ceremony. As the Forgotten City's Emperor, he definitely won't be able to sit still after hearing about this. "
"Let's go to the western gate. After all, he's the Forgotten Continent's Emperor, and Ling Tian City has just opened, so we can't afford to offend him. When the time comes, we'll just have to act according to the situation, "Yun Meng Xin said as she frowned.
"No need!" Ling Chen suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked in front of Yun Meng Xin as a cold smile flashed on his face, "The rise of Ling Tian City is because of everyone's hard work, and we didn't use any shameless or despicable methods. The number of players in the Forgotten City has decreased simply because they cannot compare to Ling Tian City; we don't need to feel any guilt towards the Forgotten City at all.
"The Forgotten Emperor is the Forgotten Continent's Emperor, but even if he rules over the entire Forgotten Continent, he doesn't have the right to order us. Our Ling Tian City has just opened, so if he wants to come to visit and congratulate us. Ling Tian City has just opened, so if he wants to, we will, we will, and, but he, we, we, he, Ling, he, the, the Emperor, the Emperor, will, will, the Forgotten City, is., is, is. Meng Xin, you must remember that you are now the Lady of Ling Tian City, and your decisions and actions represent all of Ling Tian City. Now that the Forgotten Emperor has arrogantly asked you to personally greet him, if you really go, you'll be admitting that you fear the Forgotten Emperor, and that Ling Tian City is inferior to the Forgotten City. Have you forgotten what Ling Tian City's final goal is during the opening ceremony? "
Ling Tian City's true goal is to look down on the Mystic Moon City and reign supreme over the entire Forgotten City!
Yun Meng Xin stared at Ling Chen for a while before smiling, "Thank you for your reminder, Ling Tian. I know what I should do now. "
"What should we do now? Should we just ignore the Forgotten Emperor … but he's the Forgotten Continent's Emperor, and he should be incredibly powerful, "Xiao Qi said fearfully.
"You guys stay here, I'll go greet him." Ling Chen took a step forwards as he smirked, "For me, the Vice-Lord, to greet him is already giving him enough face!"
It was impossible for Ling Chen to not fear the Forgotten Emperor at all. However, his personality had always been incredibly unyielding. If people respected him, he would respect them. If someone looked at him out of the corner of his eye, even if that person was the Emperor of Heaven, he would still spit on them.
"You're going by yourself?"
"I'm enough." Ling Chen nodded, "The grand opening ceremony has just ended, and there will be a large number of new players joining soon. There will be countless things to take care of, so don't waste your time on outsiders. Just leave it to me, who has nothing better to do. You guys go do what you need to do … Dia Wu, Bing Yao, protect them well. "
After speaking, Ling Chen picked up a Spatial Orb and crushed it, moving it to the west gate of Ling Tian City.
At this moment, the west gate of Ling Tian City was wide open. As soon as Ling Chen arrived, he felt an incredibly heavy aura. Looking over, there were 100 or so people standing in front of the west gate, all of them wearing cold expressions and wearing all sorts of armour. All of them gave off a powerful aura. At the center of them was a middle aged man that rode on a tall warhorse like a host of stars surrounding the moon. The middle aged man wore a violet gold robe, had slanted brows that were like mountains, and the space between his brows was heavy while he emanated a terrifying dignified aura. This sort of dignified aura could not be purposefully displayed, but because he had been in such a high position for a long time, his every word and action naturally gave off the aura of an Emperor.
It was just that this Emperor's expression did not look too good.
A scale of 100 people had exceeded Ling Chen's expectations. To be able to come from the Forgotten City and accompany the Forgotten Emperor, all of these people were experts amongst experts. Ling Chen's mind spun for half a second before he smiled and strode over, saying excitedly, "Aiya, aiya! I heard that the honourable Forgotten Emperor has brought people to celebrate the opening of our Ling Tian City; we are simply overwhelmed by this favour and cannot thank you enough. Come, come, come, please come in! "
The excitement on his face and the passion in his voice caused the Forgotten City's soldiers to stare in shock. Ling Chen walked over, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the soldiers carrying gifts. He smiled as he said, "You're too much. Why did you bring gifts when you came? You're too courteous. These gifts are quite heavy, and it's tiring to carry them all. Put them down, and I'll get someone to take them away. "
The face of the gold-armoured soldier closest to Ling Chen twitched, wishing that he could spit on Ling Chen's face … they were all carrying high-grade items to protect the Forgotten Emperor in case of any unexpected situations, so what kind of gifts were they? Moreover, the Forgotten Emperor had personally brought people to cause trouble, so how could they bring gifts?
"Gifts for you? Haha, my Emperor coming here is already giving you a lot of face, and you want my Emperor to prepare gifts for you? Are you daydreaming? "One of the gold-armoured soldiers couldn't help but mock Ling Chen. They had come to make trouble for Ling Tian City, so his words were not polite at all.
"Not gifts?" The warmth on Ling Chen's face immediately cooled down, turning into shock and confusion. "Are you joking? When the Vermillion Bird City and White Tiger City's Lords came to visit, they both brought gifts to express their sincerity. This was the most ordinary way of dealing with people. Your Forgotten City is a Royal City that reigns above the Vermillion Bird City and White Tiger City; could it be that you don't even know how to deal with people? Aren't you being a bit too petty? If this gets out, you'll become the laughingstock of the entire world. "
The Forgotten City's soldiers, who had come with such a ferocious aura, were completely dumbfounded and furious. They had come to denounce Ling Chen, but before they had even started, they had been viciously scolded by Ling Chen. What the hell was going on? Moreover, this brat who had come out of nowhere dared to speak so arrogantly to the Forgotten Emperor? What the hell was going on?
However, the Forgotten Emperor was not angry at all, and his sharp eyes looked at Ling Chen with interest. "Who are you? Where is your Lady? From what I know, your Lady should be a young woman. "
"My name is Ling Tian, and I'm Ling Tian City's Vice-Lady." Ling Chen generously announced his name and position. "As for our Lady, Ling Tian City has just been rebuilt, and she is very busy. She doesn't have the time to personally greet the Forgotten Emperor, so I'm here to greet the Forgotten Emperor."
Hearing this, the Forgotten City's soldiers' expressions all changed. Just what kind of status did the Forgotten Emperor have? For him to lower himself to come here, the Ling Tian City's Lady actually didn't have the time to personally greet him … and there was only one person!
This was simply preposterous! Since ancient times, who had dared to greet the Forgotten Emperor like this?
"Impudent!" The heavily-armoured general behind the Forgotten Emperor couldn't help but fly into a rage. "His Majesty's arrival is the glory of Ling Tian City! Hurry up and tell your Lady to come out and greet him! If you don't know how to appreciate kindness, don't blame us for being rude! "
"Oh? Don't know how to appreciate kindness? " The smile on Ling Chen's face disappeared. He glanced at the soldier and calmly said, "Then I'd like to ask a few questions. Why is it that the Lord of the City didn't personally come to greet you? Why does our Lady have to come out and greet you? "
"Preposterous! Our Majesty is the Forgotten Emperor, the ruler of all humans in the Forgotten Continent … "
"That's right, you're absolutely right. The Forgotten Emperor is the ruler of all humans in the Forgotten Continent," Ling Chen disdainfully cut him off as he slowly said, "But what does that have to do with us players? We players come from otherworlds and don't belong to the Forgotten Continent. The Forgotten Emperor is your ruler, but he has nothing to do with us players, nor does he have the right to rule over us. Comparatively speaking, our Lady's status is much more prestigious than the Forgotten Emperor's. I, a high and mighty Vice-Lord who is worshipped by millions of players, personally greeting you is already giving you a lot of face. "
The heavily-armoured general was so angry that his body trembled as he furiously said, "Arrogant otherworld human! You dare to look down on our Majesty? Are you trying to provoke all humans in the Forgotten Continent?! "
"Provoke? Heheheh … "Ling Chen started to laugh, and his laugh became colder and colder. Suddenly, his face became as cold as an icy blade." You've come uninvited, and the first thing you've done is to ask our Lady to come out and greet you. Just who is provoking us? All of you look so unkind and arrogant, and you're standing in front of Ling Tian's city gates with weapons. Just who is provoking us? I've come to greet you, but every single word you say is arrogant, mocking, or threatening. Just who is provoking us?
"I've only said a few things that even an idiot would know, but it seems like I'm provoking you. What a joke. Could it be that the Forgotten City's way of doing things is so arrogant and shameless? "Ling Chen said as he coldly laughed.
Even in front of the Forgotten City and the Forgotten Emperor, his words were incredibly sharp, and he did not hold back at all.
