Everyone was getting anxious. If they could really gather six hundred Chaos Source Stones, they would grit their teeth and do it. After all, they had to look at the bigger picture.
There were twenty clans. If they split it among each clan, they would only get thirty Chaos Source Stones.
If they really couldn't, they could only grit their teeth and bear it. After all, they were here on a mission from their clans. If they couldn't even enter Flat Demon City, they would be sinners.
However, the problem was that this time, no one had made any preparations for this.
"Sir, we really can't gather that much …"
A young man couldn't help complaining. However, before he could finish his sentence, the guard's expression changed and a ferocious glint flashed across his eyes.
Indeed …
With a ferocious glint in his eyes, the city gate guard did not hesitate. He raised the whip in his hand and ferociously swung it at the young man.
Such a scene had truly frightened the youth to the point that he was stunned on the spot. He had even forgotten to dodge. His mind was completely blank as he waited for the punishment to descend.
The others were anxious, terrified, and a little angry too. However, they didn't dare to voice their anger.
Lin Xian couldn't help but clench her fists. She had the urge to block the whip several times, but in the end, she gave up.
If he really made a move, the situation would become even worse. Perhaps there would be no room for reconciliation.
Therefore, he could only bear with it!
The people lining up at the back either looked at them sympathetically or gloatingly.
Whoosh!!!
Just as the black lightning whip was about to land on the youth's body, the youth seemed to wake up from a nightmare. He was so scared that his fists immediately shrank into a ball.
Before the whip landed on his body, he could already feel the pain. His soul trembled and this was an inexplicable sense of fear.
However, the world soon quieted down.
There was no more whistling of the wind or the crackling of the black lightning on the whip. There wasn't even the sound of the wind.
It was as if the entire sky had been frozen in time, falling into a state of silence.
What was going on?
He didn't feel the whip landing on his body. He didn't feel any pain. He didn't feel anything.
The young man hesitated for a moment before he slowly let go of his hands and looked over. What appeared in front of him was a hand that didn't look strong grabbing the whip tightly. It was as if a strong hand was grabbing an electric snake.
The whip couldn't move in his hand.
Such a scene made the young man feel both grateful and astonished.
Who would dare to save him at this time? Offending the city gate guards was an extremely dangerous thing to do.
Even if they dared to, who had the strength to grab the whip?
Was it Brother Lin Xian?
When the young man saw the face, he was shocked again. The person who saved him wasn't Lin Xian but Qin Xiao.
At this moment, everyone was staring at Qin Xiao, dumbfounded. Their eyes were wide open.
It was Qin Xiao again!
However, this time, other than being shocked, they were also more worried.
At first, everyone was holding back their anger and didn't dare to voice it out. They were afraid that they would offend the city guards. If they couldn't enter Flat Demon City in the end, they would have nowhere to cry.
However, Qin Xiao had made his move. He had forced the situation into a hopeless situation that could not be salvaged.
Although this move indeed made everyone feel great, there was a price to pay for it.
Crash!!!
As soon as Qin Xiao made a move, it naturally angered those city gate guards. Immediately, a large group of city gate guards rushed forward.
There were more than a hundred guards at the city gate, and all of them were armed to the teeth. Naturally, they looked even more powerful and inviolable.
A powerful aura surged over and Lin Xian and the others couldn't help but take a few steps back. The flood horses were also trembling in fear and kept retreating.
Many people who were taking pleasure in the misfortune of others were delighted to see a good show.
In the face of such a fierce situation, Qin Xiao was still calm and composed. His face was as calm as water as he glanced at the city guards.
These city gate guards were only first-step Heavenly Venerables. Even if they were first-step Heavenly Venerables and were equipped with full armor and immortal artifacts, their strength should still be considered relatively strong.
Moreover, the most important thing was that they had the advantage in numbers. There were more than a hundred of them.
Who would dare to act rashly when they were guarding here?
Even a third-step Heavenly Venerate would have to think about it carefully, right?
The guard at the city gate who attacked was obviously shocked by this sudden turn of events. After being stunned for a long while, he finally reacted.
His expression suddenly became ferocious and distorted. He looked at Qin Xiao fiercely and said, "How dare you resist, boy. I think you're courting death, aren't you?"
"Humph, you don't know what's good for you. This is not a place where a young boy like you can behave atrociously."
After saying that, the city guard tried to pull his whip back, but to his embarrassment, he found that it did not move at all.
He used all his strength, but there was no way to move it at all.
Therefore, he knew that this inconspicuous young boy in front of him was a second-step Celestial Venerable Human Immortal. He was quite strong.
No wonder he dared to be so arrogant.
However, so what? This was the Flat Demon City, after all. They were the guards of the city gates, lords who wielded the power of life and death.
Therefore, how could he tolerate such a situation?
Clang! Clang! Clang!
When the other guards saw this, they also brandished their spears in unison. The spearheads were all aimed at Qin Xiao, flashing with a strange sharpness.
All the rays of light converged on Qin Xiao, as if they were going to pierce through Qin Xiao's body.
It was just that this kind of deterrence clearly had no effect on Qin Xiao.
"Brat, why aren't you letting go? Don't you want to live anymore?" The city gate guard was even more enraged.
Although he was only a small city guard and did not have a high status in the Flat Demon City, he was still the superior.
However, the current official was not as good as the one in charge. He guarded the city gate and exercised his authority. At this moment, he held the power to kill.
This bone-chilling voice was filled with a strong warning.
It was like a final warning. If Qin Xiao still dared to not let go, they would not be polite.
Lin Xian opened his mouth to speak but stopped. He really wanted to advise Qin Xiao not to be so rash.
If he was not careful, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, he was also very cautious about such matters and did not dare to act rashly.
However, Qin Xiao was not from High Mountain Town and had saved them before. Therefore, he did not know what to say.
"Hmph!" Qin Xiao laughed coldly. He swept his gaze across the ferocious guards and shouted, "As guards of the city gate, you should be dignified and honorable. Because you guard the city gates, you represent the image of the Flat Demon City. "
"Everyone who enters or leaves the city has to pass by you. The image you create will directly affect the impression others have of the Flat Demon City."
"You are wearing the utmost glory. Logically speaking, you should work hard to maintain this dignified and dignified image."
"But you are neglecting your duties and abusing your power for your own personal gain. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Flat Demon City Lord if he finds out about your audacity? "
"You are destroying the image of the Flat Demon City by acting so recklessly. For the sake of your own selfish desires, you're willing to sacrifice the glorious image of the entire Flat Demon City. How dare you do that? "
"Are you really not afraid of being punished by your superiors for doing this?"
Qin Xiao's voice was not loud, but his words were like thunder and knives. They struck the hearts of the city guards hard, causing them to turn pale.
Inexplicably, a sense of fear welled up in their hearts.
If the Flat Demon City Lord found out about this, they would not be able to escape death.
But who would dare to let the Demon Flattening City Lord know about this?
As long as everyone behaved themselves, there wouldn't be any problems at all. Besides, there was still that person behind them. So what was there to be afraid of?
"Hmph!"
At this moment, an angry snort sounded like thunder. A figure walked out of the crowd and walked to the front. His eyes were as wide as a bull's as he glared at Qin Xiao with intense hatred.
Just by looking at this person's attire, one could tell that he was different from the other gate guards. His status was obviously higher.
From his aura, it was obvious that he was a Second Step Heavenly Venerable Human Immortal. Obviously, he was the captain of the city guards and was in charge of this side of the city gate. He could be considered the current official here.
However, it was clear that the person who had arrived was very unfriendly. He was extremely furious at Qin Xiao for ruining his plans and publicly saying such words.
There were some things that everyone knew in their hearts, but no one dared to say it out loud.
If they said it out loud, the nature of the situation would be completely different.
If everyone held back and did not say it out loud, they would treat it as an unspoken rule and let it pass. However, these things could not be exposed to the public.
It was not that they would die if they saw the light, but they would naturally become much more dangerous if they saw the light.
They were actually worried about such things. If they really made a big mess and it really reached the ears of the Flat Demon City Lord, they would really have to bear the consequences.
Therefore, they were both afraid and furious at Qin Xiao's words. At this moment, they naturally wanted to kill Qin Xiao, this scourge, and seal his sharp mouth forever.
"Kid, who sent you here to spread rumors and mislead the public?"
"We allowed you to collect entrance fees here. How dare you say that we are abusing our power for personal gain? How dare you slander us like this? You are simply looking down on our Flat Demon City and humiliating us. "
"How can I allow such an audacious person to behave so atrociously here?"
"I think you are deliberately here to cause trouble. You are so young and yet you have learned to run amok."
"Hmph, do you really think that no one can control you just because you are a Second Step Heavenly Venerable and a genius? Do you think you can make a fuss here just because you can? "
"Today, I will make you understand that our Flat Demon City is not a place where you can behave atrociously."
After saying that, a sinister look flashed across the captain's eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked aggressively.
The other guards at the city gate were also prepared to take action.
"Retreat quickly!"
As soon as the battle started, Lin Xian immediately shouted at the crowd and protected them as they retreated quickly, giving way to the battlefield.
The people queuing behind them also retreated one after another, distancing themselves from this troublesome place so that they would not be implicated.
"Hmph, looks like I have exposed your ugly face and shameless scheme. Are you angry out of humiliation?"
"This is a sign of a guilty conscience. Is that why you want to kill me to silence me?"
"You want to seal my mouth? Does no one dare to say it? The truth is the truth. Just because others don't say it doesn't mean that they are fools. "
"All of you are playing with fire!"
