Chapter 326: Chapter 328: Beat Every Time We Meet

Within a quarter of an hour, the two had rushed to the southern market.

"Xiao Wu!"

Ling Chen’s figure instantly appeared beside Ling Wu, and only after seeing that the latter was unharmed did he relax.

When Ling Chen’s gaze fell upon the cultivator standing in front of the three, Ling Wu, his expression turned cold.

Because, this person was none other than Gao Ling.

Originally, after Gao Ling learned that Ling Chen carried high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones, he wanted to extort another share from him.

Ling Chen and his party had arrived without even bringing guards.

This showed that Ling Chen’s background was, at most, just wealthy.

He had no real strength.

Moreover, a strong dragon can’t crush a local snake.

Having arrived in King City, what could an outsider rely on to fight him?

Looking at the abilities of these people, it was certain they couldn’t pass the entrance assessments of the two top Academic Palaces.

To put it plainly, these four were just going through the motions.

They would soon leave in an embarrassing plight.

So why not take all the Primordial Spirit Stones from this boy to fuel his own cultivation?

After Ling Chen departed, Gao Ling planned to contact some cultivators and wait until evening to ambush them at the inn where Ling Chen was staying.

However, he had not expected to encounter Ling Wu and the others so soon.

Of course, Gao Ling saw no need to let these three go.

He might as well extort some Spirit Stones first.

The highest cultivation level among the three people, Ling Wu, was no more than the first level of the Primordial Pill Realm, and they could not possibly be his opponents.

"What do you mean?" Ling Chen asked coldly.

Even when Gao Ling had changed the agreed payment for guiding them, Ling Chen did not refuse and directly gave him a high-grade Primordial Spirit Stone.

Unexpectedly, this not only did not bring gratitude but also aroused covetousness.

With a smile, Gao Ling stared at Ling Chen and said, "Young Master Ling, you’ve come at the right time. I’ve guided you, and you still owe me three high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones; it’s time to pay up, isn’t it?"

Zhang Yan, who was not far away, had not rushed over.

"High-grade Primordial Spirit Stones, this guy is really asking for an exorbitant price!" Zhang Yan thought to himself.

He did not take action immediately but decided to watch how Ling Chen would handle the situation.

In King City, it’s not the same as in the lower Eight Mansions.

This place has the most top powers of the Great Xia Dynasty.

If one was not careful, it was very possible to offend the scions of noble families.

To become a strong cultivator, talent is important, cultivation resources are important, and vision is equally important.

If one offends the scions of noble families, even if they enter the two top Academic Palaces, they might not be able to get by.

In the two top Academic Palaces, there are mostly the scions of all the great powers.

In the Academic Palaces, it’s nothing for these scions to deal with one person.

Feeling the somewhat tense atmosphere, many passersby stopped to watch the excitement.

Hearing the words "high-grade Primordial Spirit Stones," everyone understood that Gao Ling was obviously bullying outsiders!

"You’re goddamn asking for death!"

Ling Chen spoke coldly, and a cold murderous intent spread from his body.

"Hmph!"

With a cold hum, Gao Ling said, "Kid, watch your mouth. This is King City, not a place for you to run wild."

"Boom!"

Speaking, Gao Ling’s body surged, and red Spiritual Power swept out, casting him like a deity of fire.

He was in the early stage of the second level of the Primordial Pill Realm, possessing a Fire Spirit Body with Spiritual Power comparable to the third level.

In his view, as soon as he showed his strength, Ling Chen and his party would surely submit.

His proud gaze provocatively locked onto Ling Chen.

"You’re bringing this on yourself!"

Ling Chen snorted coldly, and black Spiritual Power erupted from him as well.

"Huh?"

Gao Ling was taken aback and said, "What, you want to fight me?"

Ling Chen didn’t finish speaking; his reply to Gao Ling was a punch.

"Courting death!"

Gao Ling’s eyes turned icy.

A mere late-stage cultivator of the Primordial Pill Realm daring to attack him was simply looking for a dead end.

In King City, he dared not kill someone.

But he had numerous methods to make Ling Chen’s life worse than death!

Watching the black fist rapidly enlarging before his eyes, Gao Ling suddenly raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and punched towards Ling Chen’s fist.

Neither of them used any Spirit Arts, competing solely with Spiritual Power.

With his early-stage level three Primordial Pill Realm Spiritual Power, he was more than capable of crippling Ling Chen’s right hand.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound rang out as two fists wrapped in Spiritual Power collided fiercely. "Kid, you dare to stand toe-to-toe with me, you’re really seeking death..."

Gao Ling’s mouth curled into a sneer.

However, before he could finish his sentence, a terrifying force transmitted from Ling Chen’s fist.

"Crack!"

Then, the sound of bones shattering was heard, and Gao Ling felt an intense pain coming from his right hand.

"Ah!"

Gao Ling let out a piercing scream.

Then, he started rolling on the ground, clutching his right arm.

"What?"

Zhang Yan was completely dumbfounded.

Ling Chen had just crippled Gao Ling, who was at the second level of the Primordial Pill Realm, with a single punch?

"How is that possible?"

Passersby exclaimed in surprise.

Clearly, Ling Chen’s move had astounded them as well.

They could sense that Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power was only at the late-stage level one of the Primordial Pill Realm, and against Gao Ling’s level three Spiritual Power, Ling Chen had won outright, which was beyond all their expectations.

Ling Chen stepped forward, aiming a stomp at Gao Ling’s bloodied right hand.

A more horrific scream echoed.

Then, Ling Chen tapped his foot, and a black storage ring flew up.

With a wave of Spiritual Power, he blew the blood and flesh off the ring and seized it in his hand.

He crouched down, looked at Gao Ling, patted his face, and said, "Kid, the reason I didn’t bother with you before wasn’t that I was afraid of you, but that I simply couldn’t be bothered to deal with you. Who do you think you are to try and steal my Spirit Stones?"

The commotion, naturally, drew the attention of many.

Even the city guard army on patrol in the southern market was alerted.

"What happened?"

A captain of a city guard squad looked at Ling Chen and asked.

They were responsible for maintaining order in the southern market.

Ling Chen spoke calmly, "This man wanted to rob our Spirit Stones, I just gave him a little lesson."

"Is that so?"

The captain stared coldly at Ling Chen.

"If you don’t believe me, you can ask these people."

Ling Chen said with a smile.

The captain spoke in a cold tone, "I will investigate. However, right now, you need to come with me."

"Okay."

Ling Chen nodded.

At this time, Gao Ling finally ceased his wailing and took out an Elixir to heal.

"My lord, you don’t need to listen to this kid’s nonsense. I saw this kid was new here, and I kindly offered to show them the way. I didn’t even ask for payment, and instead, they attacked me and even stole my storage ring!"

Gao Ling said hastily.

His eyes were fixed on Ling Chen, filled with a look of hatred, as if he wanted to tear Ling Chen apart.

"Is that so?"

The captain looked at Ling Chen again, "What’s in your right hand?"

"A storage ring."

Ling Chen opened his right hand and replied indifferently.

"His storage ring?"

The captain asked.

"Correct."

Ling Chen nodded.

The captain sneered and said, "Well, well! It seems to me that you’ve maliciously injured someone and robbed them of their storage ring!"

He had been patrolling the southern market for a long time and naturally was quite familiar with Gao Ling.

He knew very well what kind of person Gao Ling was.

Gao Ling was someone who trapped newcomer cultivators.

Since Gao Ling always offered him some gifts, he naturally had to stand up for Gao Ling.

"Guards, seize this man and bring him back to the barracks!"

The captain shouted coldly.

"Yes, sir!"

Several guards approached, ready to lay their hands on Ling Chen.

"Hold on!"

Ling Chen spoke coldly.

"Now the facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, what, you’re still not pleading guilty?"

The captain barked.
