Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 397 Everyone, don’t say I didn’t warn you!

"Others can stay in the city for one day by paying 5,000 'low-grade spirit stones'."

"We have to pay 5,000 'Middle-grade Spiritual Stones' to enter the city. Why?!"

Wei Sanniang and Liu Sisi were both very angry about this unfair treatment, and their pretty faces flushed red.

Only Ding Chen remained surprisingly calm.

He looked at the captain of the city gate guard with a half-smile, as if he had already seen through the other party's tricks.

"Why? Haha..."

The general in black armor and a red helmet looked at the three people with great contempt, then with a "rustle", he opened the wanted poster with the portraits of Ding Chen and Wei Sanniang.

Then, he opened his voice and shouted word by word: "Just because of this!"

"Before, I used my spiritual consciousness to transmit my words to you, but not only did you not appreciate it, you even questioned me?"

"In this case, I, Li Heshan, as the captain of the 'City Gate Guard', will say it again in front of everyone -"

Li Heshan raised the wanted poster in his hand high up in a deep voice, and said sanctimoniously: "I have seen many wanted criminals like you who want to sneak into Tianci City and rely on the 'Heavenly Iron Law' to avoid being hunted down!"

"It is precisely because of your various 'bad deeds' that the entrance fee charged by [Tianci City] is bound to be higher than that of other cultivators."

"By doing this, we are also responsible for the safety of other practitioners!"

"How about it, are you convinced now?!"

Li Heshan's high-sounding words might deceive others, but they would never deceive Ding Chen.

Because, with Ding Chen's strong spiritual realm, when the old man in Taoist robes on the top of the city took out the bound [Wanted Notice] booklet and tore off the page with Ding Chen's portrait;

Ding Chen has seen through everything!

Now that he had seen through the dirty tricks behind the scenes, the young man's behavior at the moment became even more indifferent. He chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Haha, your high-sounding words are a bit too forced, aren't they?"

"Tianci City, which has always regarded itself as a 'pacifist' and repeatedly stressed that it would never take the initiative to participate in any war, is only focused on handling auction transactions..."

"When did you become so concerned about 'bounty wanted criminals'?"

"Not to mention that among the cultivators who were pursued by major forces as 'bounty wanted criminals', a considerable number of them were originally victims of injustice."

"Even if we put this aside, how can you be responsible for the safety of other practitioners by charging an extra 'entry fee'?"

"Or do you think that as long as you drain the pockets of the 'wanted criminals' by charging them an entrance fee, you can make them behave like 'good citizens'?!"

It is no exaggeration to say that Ding Chen's questioning, which was also voiced in a mysterious voice and with sharp words, tore off Li Heshan's hypocritical mask.

Anyone with a little bit of brains can already understand the meaning of this at this moment -

Li Heshan first used telepathy to inform Ding Chen and his party: I already know your identity as "bounty wanted criminals."

If you want to get into the city quickly and avoid being attacked by bounty hunters, you have to pay me "protection money"!

But Li Heshan and his master behind him didn't expect that -

Ding Chen, a "wanted criminal" who should have been treated like a rat crossing the street, actually dared to complain about the injustice he had suffered in front of so many people?

Since you refuse to cooperate with us in blackmailing us, we'll have to step up our efforts!

Thus, there was a scene where Li Heshan publicly displayed the "Wanted Notice" and confidently revealed the identities of Ding Chen and his group as wanted criminals...

now.

Li Heshan, whose trick was exposed in public, looked dark and fierce.

He stared at Ding Chen without blinking, gritting his teeth and said, "I don't want to hear you nag!"

"Now, either you pay to enter the city, or get out of here and don't delay other cultivators who want to enter the city!"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you."

"Since you are a wanted criminal with a high risk of crime and a high risk of injury, and you just showed an attitude of unwillingness to cooperate, so..."

"The price for you to enter the city has increased again. Each person, every day, needs 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones!"

"Besides, the minimum payment is five days. It's up to you to decide whether to go or stay!"

At the end of his words, the face under Li Heshan's helmet revealed a sinister and cruel smile.

He was sure that at this point, if Ding Chen wanted to save his life, he would have to pay the entrance fee, no matter how high it was.

Because, when Li Heshan made the wanted poster with Ding Chen's portrait public.

Whether it’s the people at the back of the line;

Or the cultivators who gathered at the foot of the city wall, prepared to wait a few more days until the auction officially started, and then pay the fee to enter the city...

Among them, there were already hundreds of people looking at Ding Chen with greed and cruelty in their eyes, which were either clear or concealed!

In their view, this young man who was wanted by Wanya Palace with a high reward had become a "prey" fallen into a trap from the moment he was blocked on the city wall.

The only difference is that -

His "prey" was obedient and paid the money, and then was slaughtered bit by bit by the blunt knife of [Heavenly City] after entering the city.

Still, he was torn into pieces by a group of cultivators outside the city who were eager to try and become "bounty hunters"!

"go!"

Suddenly, Ding Chen shouted loudly.

Then, he stretched out his arms, hugged Wei Sanniang and Liu Sisi's waists, which were as soft as willows in the wind, with his left and right hands respectively, and jumped up.

In the blink of an eye, the young man, who was surrounded by girls on both sides, jumped out of the crowd with a "whoosh" sound and flew in the opposite direction of the city...

"Want to escape?"

"Where are the wanted criminals going?!"

"Chase!!"

Ding Chen's escape made those cultivators who were originally hesitant and undecided about whether to get involved and do the "killing for reward" thing, abandon their concerns and join the action of pursuing Ding Chen.

Ding Chen glanced at the huge crowd behind him, but his expression was surprisingly calm.

As he ran, he shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone, listen to my advice, don't chase me anymore!"

"The conflict between me and Wanya Palace was actually because they were at fault first, but they still had the audacity to issue a 'bounty warrant'."

"At this moment, I do not want to cause any killing, so I would like to advise you all: do not let the short-term benefits blind your eyes and conscience!"

"If you are willing to stop here and put down your butcher knives, you can all be at peace."

"But if you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for retaliating and killing you!"

"Everyone, please don't say I didn't warn you..."
