Entering the inner city
"This …"
Looking at the young man's figure, the crowd at the lakeside opened their mouths wide. They were completely speechless. This result was beyond their imagination!
Not only had Lin Ling torn apart Yuwen Ji's clothes, he'd even shredded all of them. This was the outer city mountain kid they'd looked down on?
Yuwen Ji had said before that Lin Ling would lose without a doubt if he wasn't in the earth spirit realm, but Lin Ling had said afterwards that he was invincible in the martial spirit realm. Now, he was indeed invincible in the martial spirit realm!
"Well done, little brother Lin Ling!"
Lin Ming's voice sounded amidst the silence. He hadn't thought that Lin Ling would become so strong, surpassing him by several levels.
"I was just lucky!"
Lin Ling smiled faintly.
"That's true. Haha, the mountain children of the outer city are indeed weak. When faced with the heaven's favored children from the inner city, they can only win by luck. I only hope that this luck will continue!" Lin Ming laughed.
His words were full of mockery, as if he was saying to the other geniuses, "Aren't you from the inner city? Didn't you look down on us outer city people? Why aren't you arrogant now? "
All of the geniuses in the inner city were silent. Although they could hear Lin Ming's mocking words, their strength was inferior and they could only smile wryly.
"Heh heh, Lin Ling, follow me to the inner city to see His Majesty in three days!"
Duke Duan smiled in relief. This Lin Ling did not disappoint him. His potential was so strong that only those few freaks in the inner city could compare to him. Moreover, if it wasn't for the fact that times were changing, the champion of the inner city's top scholar competition might not have been those few fellows!
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lin Ling smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Don't worry and go. As long as I'm here, no one will touch the Fire Ancient Clan!" Duke Duan promised again. In truth, if Lin Ling's performance today was mediocre, he might not have protected the Fire Ancient Clan with all his strength. For example, if the Third Prince personally stepped forward to exterminate the Fire Ancient Clan, he might not have intervened after weighing the pros and cons!
However, things were different now. Lin Ling was worth his gamble!
"The inner city is a whole new world. In the past, very few people from the outer city could rise in the inner city. I hope you'll be the first!" Duan Wangye said with some anticipation.
Lin Ling's eyes flickered, and his heart was filled with anticipation. It was said that the inner city was the core area of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom's experts. Right now, he was finally at the strongest area of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom!
"That's great! Ling 'er was actually recommended by Duke Duan to enter the inner city and meet His Majesty the Second Prince. This is simply a great honor for our Fire Ancient Clan!"
Inside the volcano, Ancestor Extreme Flame laughed in excitement. All the clan members were shocked!
Enter the inner city!
Everyone knew what it meant. It meant a meteoric rise and a meteoric rise. Currently, there was only one descendant of the Fire Ancient Clan that was qualified to enter. It was Lin Ling's father, Lin Chen!
Right now, Lin Ling was the only one qualified to enter!
In this era of change, being able to enter the inner city was undoubtedly a great protection for the clan. Others wouldn't dare to provoke the Fire Ancient Clan recklessly.
It could be said that Lin Ling was now the protector of the Fire Ancient Clan!
Everyone knew this, and so they were grateful and excited.
"Grandfather, it's just entering the inner city. It isn't a big deal. Furthermore, the inner city is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There might not be a place for me!" Lin Ling smiled and spoke modestly.
"You little rascal."
Ancestor Extreme Flame scolded with a smile. If anyone else was qualified to enter the inner city, they would already be arrogant. However, this grandson was able to enter the inner city. Firstly, he didn't feel any reverence for the sacred inner city. Secondly, he was still humble and low-profile.
Lin Yiming smiled faintly and didn't say anything else.
That night, the Fire Ancient Clan once again held a feast. The entire clan celebrated together, and the lively atmosphere made many forces in the outer city speechless. In this era of turmoil, only the Fire Ancient Clan was so unbridled.
However, the news of the Fire Ancient Clan's prodigy, Lin Ling, entering the inner city still spread. It made many forces secretly envious, and they were even more fearful of the Fire Ancient Clan.
This news was obviously deliberately spread by Ancestor Extreme Flame. His purpose was to intimidate those forces that had ill intentions towards the Fire Ancient Clan!
Three days later, Lin Ling set off. This time, he was alone.
Although the inner city and outer city were only separated by one city, without a certain status and invitation, no one was allowed to approach the inner city. In the hearts of those deep-rooted ancient clans in the inner city, the people in the outer city were all from the countryside and weren't worth mentioning.
"The second prince, Yun Yixuan, is the easiest to talk to among the princes. If he treats me sincerely, I will treat him sincerely. If he uses me as a pawn, then I don't need to care about him!"
Along the way, Lin Ling's heart was as clear as a mirror. To him, joining the second prince's faction was only a temporary measure. In the future, when his cultivation was strong enough, then he wouldn't need to rely on anyone else!
The outer city was very big. Lin Ling walked for almost half a day, and along the way, there were only a few people on the streets.
After a long time, Lin Ling finally approached the gate of the inner city. It was a huge bronze gate that was close to 50 meters tall and 100 meters wide. It was majestic and mysterious, like a heavenly gate. At the gate, there was a large number of guards, and there were people going in and out.
"That's the inner city!"
Lin Ling's eyes flashed. The huge city wall was like a divine dragon lying on the ground, towering into the clouds. It separated the inner city and the outer city.
"Who are you? Tell me your name!"
Just as Lin Ling approached the city gate, a loud shout filled with energy rang out.
Lin Ling was stopped!
Lin Ling's face was calm as he took out a jade token from his chest, "I am Lin Ling, and I have an entry token!"
If one wanted to enter the inner city, unless their status was very high, they would have to look at the entry token. Lin Ling's entry token was given to him by Duke Duan yesterday. Originally, Duke Duan wanted to send Lin Ling into the inner city, but he was rejected by Lin Ling.
"Entry token!"
In front of Lin Ling was a burly man in armor. His cultivation was not weak, and he was a seven-star Martial Spirit Realm. His face was indifferent as he stared at Lin Ling's entry token!
"Go in!"
After a moment, the burly man nodded.
"Thank you!"
Lin Ling smiled and wanted to walk into the inner city. However, the burly man suddenly frowned, "Lin Ling, what a familiar name. Right, it's you. Stop!"
"What's the matter?"
Lin Ling stopped and frowned.
"Are you Lin Ling of the Fire Ancient Clan?" The man said coldly.
"That's me!" Lin Ling nodded.
"Capture him!"
The burly man suddenly bellowed and waved his hand. Immediately, a large number of imperial guards rushed over and surrounded Lin Ling.
"Sir, what do you mean? I have an entry token. Why are you capturing me? "Lin Ling's voice was low. What kind of trick was this guy playing?
"Hehe, I suspect that your entry token is fake!" The burly man smiled sinisterly and snatched Lin Ling's entry token. Then, he threw it on the ground and stepped on it with his foot. His attitude was extremely arrogant.
"Good, you actually dare to sneak into the inner city. You are really bold. This is enough to send you to death. Moreover, your clan will also be executed!"
