Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 375 - 373: In Snow Moon City (2 more!)
Chapter 375: Chapter 373: In Snow Moon City (2 more!)
Snow Moon City wasn’t too large, equivalent to a County City, but it also had a population of several millions, and due to some special reasons, the city kept seeing a steadily increasing flow of people, quickly approaching the trend of breaking ten million.
At this moment, slight tremors could be felt throughout Snow Moon City.
On the main streets and in the alleys, nearly everywhere, people were discussing the heist at the Sect of the Battle God.
Chen Xiang had his subordinates spread the news, who indeed carried out the task efficiently and precisely.
In just ten minutes, everyone in Snow Moon City knew about the incident.
“This person truly has nerves of steel, daring to rob the Sect of the Battle God, what isn’t he capable of?”
“Centuries ago, someone inadvertently robbed the Sect of the Battle God and upon discovering the identity of their victim, they were so terrified that they scurried immediately to the Sect of the Battle God to apologize, but in the end, they were still killed by the sect. The Sect of the Battle God doesn’t care why you attempted the robbery; if you rob them, you must die!”
“The Sect of the Battle God places great importance on this trade route, as it’s a significant channel supporting the growth of the sect to date. Comparatively speaking, if you offend someone from the Sect of the Battle God, you might still apologize and have a chance to be forgiven, but if you dare to meddle with the Sect’s transport routes, it’s something utterly unforgivable!”
“The thief’s Cultivation Base must not be too high, and neither must his status be, otherwise why would he need to wear black clothes and a bamboo hat? Isn’t it because he fears the Sect of the Battle God will track down his identity?”
“How do you know the thief was wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat?”
“Nonsense, the Sect of the Battle God has already issued a reward; anyone who can provide clues about this person will be rewarded with ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”
“Ten thousand? My heavens, that’s a lot!”
“Hmph, everyone knows the Sect of the Battle God is doing this on purpose. Old Chen has two squads of the Cold Iron Guard under his command, and with the strength of the Cold Iron Guards, they can easily find and kill the culprit. By offering a reward, they are essentially warning everyone not to mess with the Sect of the Battle God, or else, without the sect needing to lift a finger, the bounty itself could claim your life!”
…
All kinds of discussions were spreading throughout Snow Moon City.
And the news was also being carried along the various sects’ transport routes and by sect disciples who were departing, sweeping outwards like a storm.
The Sect of the Battle God being robbed was indeed a piece of extremely important news.
As a Super Sect, even the appearance of one of its Registered Disciples would cause a sensation in such a small place.
That is a status of the utmost supremacy!
Yet this person had directly robbed the Sect of the Battle God and killed their people; how the Sect of the Battle God would handle this matter was indeed a source of great curiosity.
In Snow Moon City, there were many people standing outside the doors of the multi-story buildings at this moment.
Everyone in Snow Moon City knew that these buildings were the headquarters for the King Yue Road branch’s leader and that this was also one of the strongholds of the Sect of the Battle God.
When Chen Xiang came out, respectful flattery immediately began to rise in waves.
“We pay respect to Old Chen.”
“Haha, there’s no need for Old Chen to be angry; that person dared to steal from under Old Chen’s command, he truly does not wish to live.”
“Could Old Chen reveal how things stand at the moment? Has that person been captured? We still want to witness Old Chen hanging this person in the skies above Snow Moon City!”
“Old Chen’s methods are remarkable, capturing this kind of low-life must be quite simple.”
In these words, there was nothing but flattery and sycophancy as if they themselves were part of the Sect of the Battle God, or even as if they had more confidence in capturing Su Han than the Sect of the Battle God itself.
If it were any other day, Chen Xiang might have thoroughly enjoyed such talk, especially since it was he who had ordered his subordinates to immediately spread the news.
But at this moment, the more those people spoke, the darker Chen Xiang’s face became.
And this darkness, in the eyes of the crowd that only knew how to flatter, became a form of composure.
…
It was during this flattery that at the gates of Snow Moon City, a figure approached.
The sky was filled with swirling snowflakes as this person emerged from the snow, one step at a time, seemingly unaffected by the snow that almost reached his waist.
“Hmm?”
The moment the guardians at the gate of Snow Moon City saw this figure, their eyes immediately narrowed.
“Clothed in black, wearing a bamboo hat…”
Someone whispered, “Quickly pass on the message about this person!”
“There have already been several individuals dressed in black, wearing bamboo hats, but they weren’t the ones the Sect of the Battle God was looking for. After all, Snow Moon City is a place where fish and dragons mix. Our hasty reporting has already infuriated Old Chen. If we report incorrectly again…”
Another guardian spoke up, his figure stationary, showing a hint of hesitation.
And hearing his words, the guardian who had first spoken also pursed his lips, hesitating.
“Let’s just observe for now, don’t startle the snake by hitting the grass.”
In their line of sight, the figure drew closer and closer until, finally, he stood before the two of them.
“A major event took place in Snow Moon City today. If you wish to enter the city, you need to state your identity and purpose,” one of the guardians said.
The figure stood calmly, as if he hadn’t heard, seemingly lost in thought.
“If you cannot disclose your identity and purpose, you cannot enter the city. It isn’t easy for us guarding here, we hope you can show some understanding,” the guardian added.
“Are you also from the Sect of the Battle God?” the figure in black suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, both guardians were stunned, and immediately their hearts pounded fiercely, a surge of nervousness arising within.
They almost instantly knew that this person must be the one Old Chen had offered a reward for!
Because they had only mentioned that a major event had occurred in Snow Moon City, not specifying what it was, but as soon as this person spoke, he directly related it to the Sect of the Battle God!
“We’re not from the Sect of the Battle God, we’re just the guardians watching over Snow Moon City,” the guardian replied.
“Very well, step aside now. I won’t kill you,” the figure in black said.
As he spoke, an astonishing oppressive force surged out, enveloping the two guardians.
Their expressions drastically changed, their faces instantly turning pale, their hearts thundering, and they staggered back several steps.
One of them, anxious, immediately thought of rushing into Snow Moon City to report.
But the other held him back and at the same time said to the figure in black, “We thank Senior Xie for sparing our lives!”

The figure in black nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two of them.
The guardian who had spoken felt as if he were being preyed upon by a ferocious beast, and the other, who had intended to run into the city to report, suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Inside him, thunder roared, and his Cultivation Base at the late stage peak of the Dragon Blood Realm completely dissipated!
