Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Azurecloud City, the Mysterious Girl

Johnnie directly came to the nearest city, and used teleportation to arrive at Sky Blue City, then headed straight for The Chinese City.

Sky Blue City and The Chinese City were both under military control, and they had developed rapidly, with players coming and going, bustling and lively.

Especially The Chinese City, which controlled the entrance to the Dark Forest. To enter, players had to pay one gold coin.

Now that players had become stronger, many powerful groups had formed to go into the Dark Forest to explore and level up, which was also an important source of income for The Chinese City.

Soon, Johnnie passed through The Chinese City and arrived at the entrance of the Dark Forest.

A small team was stationed there, and they were not allowing players to enter freely.

"Stop right there. If you want to enter the Dark Forest, you have to pay one gold coin!" A soldier stepped forward and stopped Johnnie, speaking coldly.

Johnnie was a bit surprised and said."I also have to pay?"

To him, one gold coin was nothing, but this was The Chinese City, which he had helped build. For him to enter the Dark Forest and still have to pay, wasn’t that a bit excessive?

Smack!

At that moment, a middle-aged man walked over, raised his hand and slapped the soldier, then gave a respectful bow to Johnnie and explained."Johnnie guru, this guy is new, he doesn’t recognize you. Are you going into the Dark Forest? Please, go ahead."

He kicked the soldier out of the way and made a gesture of "please."

Johnnie nodded and didn’t pay much attention. He looked at the players coming and going, and asked curiously."Are there so many players entering the Dark Forest now?"

The man quickly explained."Now that players have leveled up, about ten thousand players enter the Dark Forest every day."

Ten thousand is ten thousand gold coins!

Just from the entrance of the Dark Forest, they could collect that much gold in one day. Plus all these players coming in, they were boosting the economy of The Chinese City. The city’s income per day was probably at least 300,000 gold.

For a first-tier city, this was an enormous number.

Johnnie, however, didn’t seem to care. To him, gold was just a number.

He walked directly through the Dark Forest passage and entered the Dark Forest.

After Johnnie left, the soldier finally sighed in relief and ran over, surprised and asked."Captain, was that Johnnie guru?"

"What do you think?" The captain glared at him angrily and warned."Be smarter next time. The Chinese City was all built with Johnnie guru’s help. You dare to charge him a fee? You want to die?"

The soldier felt a bit scared and awkwardly scratched his head, saying."I think Johnnie guru is quite friendly."

...

At the edge of the Dark Forest, there were many Stage 3, Level 5 Dark Spiders.

The sound of fighting came from all around, and many players were in groups, hunting these Dark Spiders.

The players here were all Stage 3 or higher, and each group had a mage. Fire-based magic was effective against Dark Spiders, so it was quite easy to deal with them.

Johnnie didn’t pay any attention to the monsters here. He followed the map and headed toward the ruins of Azurecloud City.

The ruins of Azurecloud City were deep in the outer part of the Dark Forest.

As Johnnie kept going deeper, the monsters he encountered became stronger.

Stage 4 Green Goblin, Forest Witches, and Stage 5 Dual Blade Reaper.

Johnnie’s current strength made dealing with these guys a complete breeze.

Soon, a vast and magnificent city appeared ahead.

"Is this the ruins?" Johnnie was stunned. He looked at the map in his hand — the location clearly marked was the ruins of Azurecloud City.

But what he saw in front of him wasn’t ruins at all — it was a complete, functioning city.

Tall walls had soldiers patrolling on top, and people were constantly coming and going through the gates, dragging in powerful monsters and bringing them into the city.

These people were not players — they were all natives of this world.

"Stage 5, strong!" Johnnie noticed their power. Even the weakest among them was at Stage 5.

And the soldiers were even stronger — they were all Stage 6.

This city might really be related to the Haldrem Empire. Maybe Princess Lisa was even inside.

He hesitated for a moment, then walked directly toward the city.

"Stop." a soldier at the gate blocked him. He looked at Johnnie curiously and asked, surprised."Are you a player?"

Johnnie nodded and said."I want to meet the Lord of Azurecloud City."

The soldier frowned and blocked his way, coldly saying."Azurecloud City doesn’t have a lord. And we don’t welcome players here. There’s no mission for you either."

The soldier immediately tried to drive Johnnie away.

This was the first time Johnnie had ever heard of a city without a lord. He became even more curious. He looked at the soldier in front of him, hesitating whether to just fight his way in.

This guy was only at Stage 6, Level 3. He couldn’t stop Johnnie at all.

But if the city guards were at Stage 6, then there must be stronger people inside.

Woo, woo...

Suddenly, a series of horn sounds rang out. The soldiers’ faces changed slightly, and they immediately shouted."Enemy attack! Get inside quickly!"

People who had just left the city, upon hearing the horns, looked terrified and rushed into the city in a panic.

Johnnie was caught in the crowd and pushed inside.

"Bad, that player also got in!" The soldier realized too late and couldn’t stop him anymore.

"Kill..."

Suddenly, a wave of battle cries came from outside. A group of about a thousand people appeared in the distance, and they were coming in a huge, intimidating force.

"Not a Beast Wave?" Johnnie had already entered the city and heard the battle cries outside. He was a bit surprised.

Boom!

He hadn’t even had a chance to see who the attackers were, when the heavy city gate suddenly slammed shut.

"Move, get out of the way!" A group of soldiers hurried up the walls.

Outside the gate, there was a loud rumbling and screams of pain — it seemed those who hadn’t made it inside were being mercilessly slaughtered.

Johnnie was very curious about what was happening outside.

Whoosh...

At that moment, a powerful gust of wind swept by, and a huge flying mount took off into the sky.

Many people here had flying mounts. They rose into the air to watch the battle.

Johnnie hesitated for a moment, then summoned his Void Sword, flew with the controlled sword, and reached the middle of the sky. He finally got a clear view of what was happening outside.

Boom, boom...

The sound of explosions continued. Flames were flying everywhere. It was a group of about a thousand people who had already reached the city wall. Their mounts were all different — Blazing Tigers, Ironhorn Rhinos, Feral Dark Bulls...

They were channeling fire-based magic in their hands, bombarding the soldiers on the walls with intense attacks.

For a moment, the soldiers were completely overwhelmed and couldn’t even fight back.

The city gate trembled slightly at this moment — the enemy had already begun to attack it.

"Wow, such a powerful Fire-based Magic!" Johnnie watched the blazing fireballs whizzing through the air, his expression shocked.

He had changed class to The Mage of the Five Elements, and he had mastered the Five Elements Technique. He was very sensitive to the Fire Element.

He could tell at a glance that these seemingly ordinary fireballs were extremely powerful, way stronger than the Fireball Spell cast by normal mages. They were somewhat similar to Crysic’s Blazing Mages.

These people were definitely not ordinary.

Boom!

The city gate shook again violently.

At this time, the reinforcements had arrived on the walls, and a rain of arrows poured down.

All of the soldiers here were physical classes, no mages.

Compared to the enemy, their strength was much weaker, but they were in great numbers. The endless arrow rain overwhelmed the enemy’s attack from below.

"Stand your ground! Even if we die, we must break through the gate and save The Saintly Lady!" A loud shout came from below. The leader was actually a woman.

Too far away for Johnnie to see her face, but the woman’s power was extremely terrifying. With her staff, she waved and sent waves of fire into the air, melting the arrows that were coming at her.

"Fire-Control!"

Johnnie was surprised. The woman wasn’t attacking with Fire-based magic — she was using Fire-Control, just like him.

Fire-Control wasn’t a powerful technique, but only The Mage of the Five Elements or those with strong fire talent could control it.

This woman was definitely not ordinary.

"Damn it! Capture that woman alive!" A general on the wall gave the order. A huge net was thrown down, covering the woman below.

Whoosh!

A fire snake shot up into the sky, but the net remained untouched and quickly trapped the woman.

"Shoot!"

On the wall, an endless rain of arrows poured down. Cries of pain echoed through the air.

Besides the leader, the others suffered heavy casualties and couldn’t even block the arrows.

None of them turned back. They kept charging toward the gate, attacking the soldiers on the wall.

Johnnie watched this scene and felt a little moved, but he didn’t choose to intervene.

Soon, the invading force was wiped out completely, leaving only the woman captured alive.

The city gate opened, and a group of citizens roared and rushed out.

"Kill this evil woman!"

"No, burn her, sacrifice her to The Elder Tree!"

"Burn her! Burn her!"

The shouts echoed. The woman was tightly bound, at the mercy of the crowd.

"Disgusting thing. If you have the guts, just kill me!" The woman stared coldly at them, cursing angrily.

"Still daring to insult us? We must cut her into a thousand pieces!" The crowd was furious, shouting and cursing.

Johnnie, however, sneered. These people had just run into the city like cowards when the enemy arrived. Now that the danger was gone, they were shouting and boasting.

"Move aside, Johnnie will handle it." A few soldiers drove away the crowd, and led the captured woman toward the deep part of the city.

"Master, Phoenix Bloodline. This woman has the Phoenix Bloodline!" At that moment, the voice of The Red Carp echoed in Johnnie’s mind.

The Phoenix Bloodline — one of the Four Sacred Beasts?

Johnnie was surprised. This woman was related to the Phoenix.

He was about to act when a loud shout came: "That player is an invader. Capture him!"

A soldier recognized him, and the surrounding citizens turned hostile, immediately surrounding him.

"Die!" Johnnie’s eyes turned cold, and he acted decisively. Seven Sword appeared, a flash of cold light, and he slashed toward the surrounding crowd.

[Ding: You have killed a resident of Azurecloud City, gained 3 experience points, and your sin value has increased by 1.]

The message flashed. These residents were at Stage 5, but they were still no match for Johnnie.

Killing residents of the Universe Continent’s cities would increase your sin value.

It was clear that these people in Azurecloud City were also protected by the rules of the Universe Continent.

If your sin value was too high, you would be wanted by all the cities.

Johnnie, however, didn’t care. No city was daring enough to act against him yet.
