Chapter 201 - The Arrival Of The Eight Ancient Families.
Black Iron City
As the sun was sinking lower into the sky and the sunshine was losing its brightness, the scorching heat of the day was slowly being ebbed away and replaced by a comforting warmth.
It\'s already been a few hours since Blood Fiend Saint had escaped and the news about the Blood Fiend Gang\'s destruction was like a windstorm rolling over the entire city.
However, it didn\'t cause a great commotion like one might expect. Instead, it created a heavy atmosphere throughout the whole city.
As a city run by criminals and filled with all kinda evil people, Black Iron city was usually enshrouded by a tense and gloomy atmosphere.
However, the tense atmosphere today was different from the usual one. There was a depressing and ominous air contained inside it, which had quickly spread all over the city.
At this moment, even the common people could sense and feel the danger in the air.
Many of them closed their doors and had gone to sleep early despite being daytime while a lot of them were quietly leaving the city with their tails between their legs.
Even the City Lord along with some of his goons have disappeared as well, leaving the city unguarded. In fact, not mention the people and the City Lord, even the birds, and some of the animals chose to leave as well.
Meanwhile, a lot of new faces were also entering the city through every entrance. From the look of them, one could clearly tell that they weren\'t regular people.
Tough they did their best to hide their powerful aura and killing intents, they weren\'t able to escape Azure and Ling Chen\'s spiritual sense.
While many people were leaving the city as though there was a plague, many were flocking in as if there was a peerless treasure inside.
Most of them chose to stay at the Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant, while the others chose to stay at nearby Inns and houses.
Any newcomers, oblivious to the situation, would immediately feel that something was wrong the moment they entered the city due to the hazy and ominous air enshrouded the city.
If one were to describe the atmosphere within the city, it would perfectly be summarized as the calm before a mighty storm.
"Blood Fiend Saint has indeed done a good job."Ling Chen murmured to himself with a devious smile on his face.
At this moment, he was standing next to the window in his room which was located on the third floor of the Inn while quietly observing what was going outside.
Because his room was located on the third floor and at the fore the front of the Inn, Ling Chen had a good view of the surrounding.
From his position, he could see all the people that were entering and leaving the Inn by looking down. He could also see all the people that were going up and down the street below as well as the surrounding houses and businesses.
"It seems like these men are here to make sure that I don\'t escape." He added while looking at five men walking down the streets in front of the Inn.
It was his third time seeing them passing by. Furthermore, every time they passed by the Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant, they couldn\'t help but take a quick glance up in the direction where his room was located.
Though they looked like five harmless middle-aged men, Ling Chen knew that it was just facade. With Ling Chen\'s power and abilities, the people that could hide the truth or their true strength from him hasn\'t appeared yet.
These five middle-aged men were five powerful warriors. The strongest one of them was a 5th Tribulation Martial Saint while the weakest one was a 2nd Tribulation Martial Saint.
In fact, aside from these five men keeping tabs on him from the outside, there were another seventy powerful warriors in the Inn watching his every movement as well.
They all disguised themselves as customers and rented all the rooms on the third floor as well the fourth floor above him. Even the second floor below him was occupied by them as well.
Not only that, the houses and Inns nearby were also occupied by these people. In another word, he was completely surrounded by all sides, like a mouse in a cage.
However, for some unknown reason, none of them dared to make a move yet. It was if they were waiting for something while making sure he didn\'t escape.
Even though Ling Chen was aware of his current situation, there wasn\'t a hint of fear in his eyes. It was as if all of these had nothing to do with him.
He was as calm and composed as one could be. He stood there calmly, completely untouched and unfazed while quietly looking outside with a playful smile on his face.
As Ling Chen was observing the people walking down the street below, he suddenly shifted his gaze into the distance.
At the same time, both his Demonic and Divine Eyes shone brightly, revealing a glare capable of crossing time itself.
In the next moment, his mouth curved upward into a devious smile as he coldly uttered." It seems like that party is about to start."
Rumble~~~"
Not even ten minutes have passed after he said that, the ground suddenly started to quake violently as though there was an earthquake. The ground seemed on the verge of being torn asunder.
From afar, one could hear the concentrated sounds of beast hooves trampling on the earth accompanied by the roars of demon beasts and humans.
At this moment, everyone within the city became frightened upon hearing the loud roars of the demon beast as well as the trembling ground.
At the same time, they knew that the thing they were afraid the most was going to happen. The moment they found out that the Evil Star Ling Chen was in the city as well as being the one responsible for the annihilation of the Blood Fiend Gang, they knew that it wasn\'t going to be long before the entire Black Iron City turned into a battlefield.
It was also the main reason that many of them chose to leave the city as they didn\'t want to become collateral damages or casualties of the war.
Not only the remaining Eight Ancient Families in the Sun Demi-God was looking for him, but he was also being sought by all the major powers in the Heaven Suppression Region.
Meanwhile, In the distant sky, a sudden change that could frighten even the most powerful Martial Saint happened. Hundreds and even thousands of men could be seen flying in the sky towards the direction of Black Iron City.
This was indeed a magnificent scene. Some of them were even riding many powerful avian demon beasts. The sound of these thousands of men and demon beasts approaching the city was like the violent howl of an ancient beast, instantly breaking up the layers of clouds, quaking the ground.
The moment they appeared, powerful killing intent, along with numerous Martial Saint\'s aura, poured down freely without any intention of suppressing itself.
Each one of them was more powerful than the last. Their terrible auras spread across in all directions.
Waves of Demonic Qi and powerful True Qi were rising up and down like a prehistoric beast or a god was about to descend. The clouds around were scattered, rumbling, and rolling.
Everyone was alarmed and assaulted by their numerous auras, even the ones that were hiding inside their houses.
" You guys are finally here." Murmured Ling Chen with a cold and an evil smile on his face as he was staring at the thousands of people in the sky.
