Chapter 1091 A Scare
An Da said solemnly, "It's the Lord of Yaogu City. They've returned!"
As An Da spoke, Chen Yang saw a procession entering from outside the city gate.
The leader, possessing the strength of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, wore armor that had been stained black with blood.
The mottled colors resembled blooming flowers of sin, emitting a dizzying stench of blood.
The demonic horse beneath him had a pair of fierce eyes, as terrifying as the man on its back.
With every step of its hooves, the clanging of the horse's armor and the man's helmet sounded like a heart-pounding drumbeat.
The others behind him, while not all at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, were mostly at the fifth or sixth layer of Foundation Establishment. Coupled with their demonic horses, the oppressive aura that washed over everyone instilled fear in their hearts.
An Da suddenly turned to Chen Yang beside him and explained, "The guards of the City Lord's Mansion are divided into two types. One type, like Bamuge, besides training and guarding the city, also goes out to battle.
"These are the majority of the guards. They can come from anywhere. As long as they have the strength, or the talent to reach Foundation Establishment, it is very easy to join the City Lord's Mansion.
"Besides ordinary guards, the City Lord's Mansion also has another team of dozens of people, who are the City Lord's personal guards.
"The weakest among them is already at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment or above.
"Furthermore, each of them is equipped with the best Foundation Establishment armor and demonic horses!
"The reason Yaogu City holds considerable influence within the entire Demon Capital's power structure is because of this team.
"It is said that they can even encircle and eliminate Core Formation Venerables on the battlefield."
After An Da finished speaking, he expected Chen Yang to be scared or nervous. But when he turned to look at Young Master Chen, he was stunned to find that Young Master Chen's face showed no fear or nervousness, but rather immense excitement!
At this moment, Chen Yang's eyes were filled with the Foundation Establishment armor and demonic horses of the City Lord's personal guards.
If warriors could be equipped with such gear, what was impossible about encircling and eliminating Core Formation Venerables?
What beings of the Earth Realm could achieve, warriors could naturally do as well.
"Where can these Foundation Establishment armors and demonic horses be purchased?"
As soon as he said this, An Da almost spat out blood.
Young Master Chen's nerve was extraordinary!
However, since the other party asked, he had to answer. An Da chuckled dryly and said, "These are the results accumulated by the City Lord's Mansion over the years.
"As you know, there was originally a废弃 (fèi qì - abandoned) spiritual脉 (mài - vein) outside Yaogu City. Without that spiritual vein, even if the City Lord's Mansion accumulated more, they couldn't have amassed such wealth."
Before An Da could finish, Chen Yang immediately interrupted, "Can you get these things?"
An Da was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Young Master Chen was not joking, he hastily said, "It's possible, but it will take time, and... the quantity won't be this much.
"The price might also be outrageously high!"
Chen Yang sneered, "Buy them! Start collecting these things as soon as we get back, but it must be done secretly."
Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, An Da immediately nodded in agreement.
If Young Master Chen wanted them, he had to act. As for how much he could earn then...
Thinking of this, An Da secretly glanced at Young Master Chen again.
He found that Young Master Chen was still staring intently at the City Lord's personal guard.
The leader of the personal guard, who was at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, also noticed this fervent gaze.
After his eyes met Chen Yang's, the captain of the personal guard felt that something was off.
There was no trace of fear in this person's eyes, yet he was clearly a junior who had just entered Foundation Establishment.
He dared to meet his gaze!
At this moment, the captain's mind suddenly echoed with the City Lord's voice.
"This person should be Young Master Chen. Go meet him."
Upon hearing this, the captain of the personal guard stomped his foot and flew directly from his warhorse.
And he was heading directly towards Chen Yang!
Chen Yang was startled. He hadn't expected the other party to come directly after just looking at him.
Most importantly, his posture... was he about to attack!
An Da, after realizing what was happening, cried out in alarm and tried to get away.
Chen Yang, however, stood his ground without any intention of dodging.
An Da's heart turned cold, thinking that Young Master Chen was too scared.
"Oh no, oh no, if Young Master Chen dies, what will happen to the spirit stones I've already invested!"
All the onlookers within the city looked at Chen Yang. They didn't understand why the two sides were about to fight without any prior exchange.
Most people already recognized Chen Yang.
He was the Young Master Chen who had been causing a stir in Yaogu City recently.
The other person was the captain of the personal guard, who had just returned with the City Lord.
Just as everyone was shocked by this, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Chen Yang, blocking the City Lord's personal guard captain.
The captain of the personal guard only intended to test Young Master Chen, so he hadn't used his full strength.
After forcing out the guards around the other party, the captain's doubt deepened.
"Foundation Establishment fifth layer and sixth layer?"
Logically, beings of this cultivation level should have been pushed back by the slight force he exerted earlier, yet these two showed no discomfort.
The people who appeared before Chen Yang were two ancient martial artists.
The original personal bodyguard for Chen Yang was Wu Min, but Wu Min had suddenly gone into seclusion. Since that was the case, only these two could be sent.
Chen Yang sat in the tea house and said calmly, "Is this how the City Lord's Mansion treats its guests?"
"You want to fight as soon as you return, what impressive methods.
"I had intended to host a welcome banquet for everyone, but it seems completely unnecessary now."
As Chen Yang's voice fell, the voice of a Core Formation Venerable echoed throughout Yaogu City, "Those who come to Yaogu City are guests of Yaogu City.
"The banquet is not just a welcome feast, it is also prepared for you.
"Return to the mansion."
With the last two words spoken, the captain of the personal guard who had just tested Chen Yang immediately retreated.
As Chen Yang watched the procession pass by below, he noticed a carriage. Although it looked very simple, it had been specially treated to block all spiritual energy probes.
The person sitting inside must be the Lord of Yaogu City!
At the same time, Chen Yang also noticed that in the procession behind, there were a few scattered Foundation Establishment warriors, but the vast majority of people hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment realm.
An Da, on the side, tremblingly picked up his teacup, took a shaky sip of water, and then stabilized his emotions. With a mournful face, he said to Chen Yang, "Young Master Chen, that was the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment realm. You almost scared me to death just now!"
Chen Yang snorted, "What? Are you afraid that if I die, no one will owe you your spirit stones?"
