Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1783: Chapter 1786: Absolutely Insane

The guard had just found out through inquiries that their attitude was like this because of that person’s orders.

However, the specifics were not clear to this ordinary person, after all, he was just a regular guy.

So even the guard was bewildered, knowing the result but not the reason behind it.

But soon someone came to clear things up for him.

A cultivator!

A Golden Core Stage!

The guard didn’t take it seriously at all when he saw the Golden Core Stage approaching.

After all, he was at the Nascent Soul Stage!

Although he was obeying that person, it didn’t mean he respected everyone on Southwest Huludao.

However.

”Fellow Daoist, where are you coming from? You’re not a local, right? First time in Nanshan City, huh!”

The Golden Core Stage whom the guard looked down upon brazenly questioned the guard!

The guard was dumbfounded!

Dumbfounded once again!

This arrogant?

After the initial shock came anger, his gaze turned cold as he stared icily at the Golden Core Stage: ”Are you talking to me?!”

He wasn’t keen on taking direct action.

After all, this would upset that person!

However, he still wanted to express his anger and teach that Golden Core Stage a lesson!

Yet!

”You really are from out of town! First time in Nanshan City! Dammit! How dare you bully my people! Fellow Daoists, help me out here!”

The Golden Core Stage shouted loudly.

The guard’s mouth twitched.

This kid is dumb, right?

You said it’s my first time here, so when did I bully your people?

I merely pulled an ordinary person aside for questioning!

Could that ordinary person be your relative?

He highly doubted it!

If that ordinary person was related to a cultivator, there was no way he would have been like that a moment ago.

Plus, this guy was silly enough to ask the surrounding cultivators for help?!

Is he crazy?!

Who would help you?

Who would offend a Nascent Soul Stage for no reason like that?

So, the guard concluded — this kid is either crazy or a fool!

Then!

He got surrounded!

Surrounded by several cultivators who had been chatting around all along.

There were both Golden Core and Nascent Soul Stages!

”What, so being at the Nascent Soul Stage makes you special? Bullying us locals?”

A Nascent Soul Stage glared at the guard, sneering: ”Like none of us is.”

”Senior, this is his first time in Nanshan City, but the City Guard Army didn’t send anyone to follow him, so he’s definitely snuck in with a false identity!” the first Golden Core Stage exclaimed immediately.

”Oh? Really?!”

The Nascent Soul Stage raised an eyebrow!

”Yes, I asked, and my man responded saying this person asked him super basic questions!”

The Golden Core Stage said firmly.

”Very well, you go get someone to notify the City Guard Army, you and I will stay here and bring him to the City Lord Mansion!” the Nascent Soul Stage said immediately.

”Yes, Senior!” The Golden Core Stage nodded, then turned to speak to an ordinary person beside him, who ran off towards the City Guard Army.

Hmm, the guard was once more dumbfounded!

Why is everything happening here so different from what he imagined in his head?

Can a Golden Core Stage call for help from a Nascent Soul Stage?

Ordinary people aren’t afraid of cultivators and obey them?

He even saw the Golden Core Stage giving a piece of silver to the ordinary person who ran errands for him.

Cultivators rewarding ordinary people for running errands?!

My heavens, have I entered another world?!

No, this should be Nanshan City!

However, although he didn’t understand why, he did realize one thing!

Which is why news from Southwest Huludao hadn’t come through, despite sending many people to gather intelligence!

Because, like him, those people got detected right after entering the city and then surrounded and taken away!

Regardless of how clever their disguises were, it made no difference!

As long as they weren’t local, they’d be spotted immediately, because they stood out like a sore thumb!

Honestly, he vowed, he had never seen such a crazy place in his life!

Yes, crazy!

He could only describe it as crazy!

Everyone, whether ordinary or cultivator, was surprisingly willing to work hard for a single cause!

In such circumstances, how can you gather intelligence?!

Unless the person coming has cultivation so high it’s out of this world, able to ignore all the cultivators here!

But if it got to that level, what intelligence would you even need to gather? Just take over the place outright, right?

And then the Nascent Soul Stage surrounding the guard spoke again: ”Don’t move! Behave yourself, and everything will be fine, even when we get to the City Lord Mansion, don’t be afraid, just explain yourself, if you’re truly not an enemy, no one will give you a hard time!”

The guard nodded, without saying much more.

Whatever, just go with the flow!

There was really nothing he could do, and he was beyond shocked!

What happened next was easy.

The City Guard Army arrived, and two more Nascent Soul Stages came too.

The fact that Nanshan City had so many Nascent Souls no longer shocked the guard.

Compared to everything else he’d just seen, a few more Nascent Souls truly meant nothing.

And shortly thereafter, he saw the person he wished to meet—Lu Xiaobu.

”My lord!”

The guard knelt on one knee.

”Oh, it’s you.” Lu Xiaobu laughed: ”Why have you come all of a sudden?”

Those three Nascent Souls escorting him sighed with relief as well, as he was not an enemy, but one of their own, which was a relief!

”My lord, I have critical intelligence, the God Slaying Alliance internally has decided to attack us. They’re planning to mobilize the military power of the three closest cities, Hailai, Zhongfeng, and Guihu, to attack Gourd Waist! Sure enough, more high-level cultivators will come over! It’s urgent!”

The guard reported the situation: ”They sent me out to deliver the message, and I came over immediately!”

He even self-praised his promptness in delivering the message.

A natural behavior!

”Oh.” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

The attitude left the guard somewhat surprised—such confidence? Not the least bit anxious? He remembered the lord was only at the Nascent Soul Stage! Those three cities each had several Nascent Souls!

It was like one pair of fists against four hands!

But then.

”Then tell them now.” Lu Xiaobu shrugged.

”Huh?” The guard paused, what did he mean?!

Then!

He heard those three Nascent Souls who escorted him speak.

”I am the City Lord of Hailai City!”

The first encountered Nascent Soul spoke up.

”I am the City Lord of Zhongfeng City!”

”I am the City Lord of Guihu City!”

The two Nascent Souls who arrived later also spoke.

Thus!

The guard turned his head in disbelief, his eyes wide and larger than ox eyes, staring at the three Nascent Souls: ”It’s you guys?! You guys defected as well?!”

The guard felt like going mad!

Attack?!

Suppress?!

Suppress my foot!

The city lords the God Slaying Alliance intended to send had already become foot soldiers here for those they intended to suppress, so you tell me, suppress who?!

Oh my God!

This is insanely crazy!
