297: Chapter 296 Arrival in the City of Sin: Now that the door is gone, do we still have to pay?

The core region of the Chaotic Star Sea was not a planet, but a supercontinent floating above the turbulence of the Void Realm.

This continent was pieced together from countless broken star remnants. It was pitch black all over, exuding an ancient and decaying aura. In the very center of the continent stood a steel city as ferocious as a giant beast.

This was the City of Sin, which made the Three Realms tremble with fear.

There was no law of the land here, no morality, and no laws of the Heavenly Court. There was only one truth here: power.

It was the largest den of stolen goods in the Three Realms, and the final refuge for countless wanted criminals, evil Cultivators, and fallen Immortals. Every inch of its soil was soaked with blood, and grievances were buried under every brick and stone.

"Rumble—!!!"

Just as the City of Sin was still immersed in the clamor of slaughter and trading, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the horizon.

A golden stream of light tore through the dim Void Realm, dragging a gorgeous tail flame ten thousand zhang long, and descended onto the square in front of the city gate with an extremely arrogant and high-profile posture.

Airwaves rolled, and dust and smoke rose.

When the light dissipated, it revealed that luxuriously extreme Golden Chariot. Nine Dragon phantoms coiled around the chariot body, and the gems inlaid on the wheels shone brightly in the dim light, practically having the words "I am rich" carved onto its forehead.

This scene instantly attracted the gazes of countless people at the city gate.

Those Cultivators queuing to enter the city were mostly ragged and had sinister expressions; they were either running away after just killing someone or coming here to take refuge.

Seeing this chariot with a completely different style at this moment, everyone was stunned.

"Damn? Which landlord's silly son ran out?"

"This chariot... is it made entirely of profound gold? Just these four wheels could buy my life ten times over!"

"A fat sheep! Definitely a super fat sheep with thorns!"

Countless greedy, sinister, and mocking gazes focused on the chariot like substance.

Lin Feng brought Liu Ming and Huang Fugui and slowly walked off the chariot. He was wearing an immaculate white robe, holding a folding fan (actually a defensive Magic Treasure produced by the System), with an innocent smile on his face.

"This place, the smell is quite strong." Lin Feng fanned his nose; the air was permeated with the smell of blood and rot.

"Stop!!!"

Just then, a loud shout broke the peace.

Two rows of guards in black armor with fierce faces quickly surrounded them at the city gate. The captain in the lead had a burly figure, a hideous scar running from the corner of his eye to his chin, and was holding a black long spear, with a rich aura of Evil Qi emanating from his whole body.

These were the Black Armored Guards of the City Lord's Mansion, specifically responsible for extorting newcomers entering the city.

"New here?"

The scarred captain looked Lin Feng up and down. Seeing his delicate skin and tender flesh, and the lack of that murderous Evil Qi from someone who licked blood from a blade, he immediately made a judgment: this was a greenhorn who didn't know the rules, most likely a young master who had snuck out from some big Family.

"Do you know the rules of the City of Sin?"

The scarred captain poked the ground with his long spear, revealing a mouth of yellow teeth, and grinned: "Everyone who enters the city must pay a 'head tax'. Looking at your chariot, it's not bad, and there are quite a few people. Each person... hmm, ten thousand High Grade Immortal crystals! Plus a 'luxury parking fee' of one hundred thousand for this chariot! If you are short even one cent, this chariot belongs to us!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people queuing around sucked in a cold breath.

Too dark!

Usually, the entrance fee was only ten Low Grade Immortal crystals per person. This scarred face was picking on people, directly asking for an exorbitant price! This wasn't collecting fees, this was blatant robbery!

But no one dared to speak. Everyone held the mentality of watching a show, wanting to see how this "rich second generation" would be skinned and deboned.

Lin Feng, upon hearing this, not only didn't get angry, but instead closed his folding fan and asked with interest: "Ten thousand? And a one hundred thousand parking fee? Are you sure?"

"What? Think it's expensive?"

The scarred captain sneered, his eyes unscrupulously scanning the Golden Chariot, his greedy gaze seemingly already calculating how to dismantle this chariot. "If you think it's expensive, that's fine too. Leave this chariot behind, and you can roll inside. Oh right, that Fugui looks quite fat, leave it behind for the brothers to roast as a snack to go with wine."

Fugui, standing on Lin Feng's shoulder, bristled instantly and bared its fangs at the captain: "Squeak squeak squeak!" (Translation: Your whole Family is a snack! I'll blow you to death with a fart!)

Lin Feng patted Fugui's head, signaling it to calm down.

He stepped forward, looked at the arrogant scarred captain, and asked in a calm tone: "Is it because this gate is blocking the way that you have to charge such an expensive fee?"

"Nonsense! This is the rule set by the City Lord! This gate is Heaven!" The scarred captain was smug. "No money? If you have no money, then get lost! Or let me poke a few holes in you!"

"So that's how it is."

Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully, the smile on his face suddenly becoming somewhat meaningful.

"Since you charge fees because of the gate, then what if... the gate is gone?"

"What?" The scarred captain was stunned, not having reacted to the meaning of this sentence yet.

The next second.

Clang—!!!

A blood-red blade light erupted from Lin Feng's hand without warning.

Fast!

Too fast!

It was a speed that transcended the perception of time and space. The chaos asura blade in Lin Feng's hand erupted with the terrifying destructive power of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal in this instant, mixed with his newly upgraded "power of emotion".

The blade light was like a red angry Dragon, instantly piercing through the heavens and the earth.

"Boom—!!!!"

A heaven-shaking and earth-shattering loud noise shook the entire City of Sin.

In the eyes of everyone who was terrified, that black city gate, which was a thousand zhang high, cast entirely from star iron, and claimed to be able to withstand the full attack of a Golden Immortal, along with the city walls extending for several miles on both sides, collapsed instantly like a shoddy construction project!

Countless runes exploded, and giant rocks rolled down.

The scarred captain and his subordinates didn't even have time to scream before they were directly blown away by the terrifying airwave of this blade, each spitting blood, falling into the ruins like dead dogs, their faces full of horror, their weapons shattered all over the ground.

Dust rolled, rushing straight into the clouds.

The originally majestically standing city gate had now become an extremely wide, extremely transparent... ruin square.

Lin Feng sheathed his blade, his movements smooth as flowing water, and lightly flicked the non-existent dust off his sleeves.

He stepped over the rubble, walked to the scarred captain who was already paralyzed with fear and whose legs were trembling, squatted down, and still had that gentle smile on his face:

"Look, the gate is gone now."

"Since the gate is gone, do I still need to pay the 'entrance fee'?"

Silence.

Deathly silence.

The desperate criminals around who were waiting to watch the show had their eyes popping out, and their jaws dropped to the ground.

Where the hell did this fierce person come from?

If he thought the entrance fee was expensive, he didn't think to bargain, nor did he think to fight, he just cut the city gate down?!

Is this the way rich people solve problems? Too violent! Too unreasonable!

[Ding! Detected a large amount of "shock", "fear", and "worship" emotions from the surroundings! Divine-Grade recovery activated!]

[Strengthening Points + 1000!]

[Strengthening Points + 2000!]

[Strengthening Points + 5000!]

[Congratulations to the Host! Broke the city gate with one blade, achieved the achievement "Violent Demolition Team", rewarded with extra Strengthening Points + 10000!]

Listening to the constantly rising values in his mind, Lin Feng stood up satisfied and waved at the already dazed Liu Ming:

"Liu Ming, what are you stunned for? Get on the chariot, let's enter the city."

"Remember, in the City of Sin, we need to keep a low profile."

Liu Ming looked at the city gate that had turned into ruins, then looked at the Cultivators who were scrambling to make way, his mouth twitching wildly.

Low profile?

Chief, do you have some misunderstanding about these two words?

You call this a low profile? If you were to be high-profile, would you have to slaughter the City of Sin to liven things up?
