Shi Lang and the two were told to get to the Forger city immediately. Tian Long had arranged a place to stay for them. This place was located in the northern part of the Central Plains. It was the hub for weapons and artifacts forging in the immortal plain.
Demonic forces had often attacked the place to disrupt the operations here. Many big forces have their forgers to procure the weapons for the soldiers. Tian Long had sent Shi Lang and the rest to stay with the Dragon Army forger team members.
In the Centurion Tournament, there were a few unspoken rules. The strongest person in the cities would become the uncrowned King of the city for the next five years. The duration may not be long because the centurion tournament was held every hundred years.
However, the winner will get a hefty discount on purchasing raw materials in five years. This may seem too petty, but these big forces made large orders for their forces, costing them a lot of money. Another thing that made it so hard to ascend to the top rank was the gathering of talents.
Since the city was so crucial, how could Tian Long be the only one scheming to send Shi Lang here? There were other places where Shi Lang could have emerged on the top. But the Heavenly Dragon Sovereign wanted to capture this forger city. In the coming time, Shi Lang's rifle would become the primary spiritual weapon. It was not that the people did not like spirit swords and other cold weapons, but the rifle was optimal for mass area control.
Shi Lang handed the rifle to the Cao brothers and his partners. He would not go back on his word and become a business competitor. But Shi Lang was going to design things like grenades and repeat-firing rifles.
He would make one more thing, but it was completely a secret. This weapon will grow up to be symbolic of the Asura Hall. You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin
Three people came off the spirit vessel and stood at the city gate. Shi Lang was observing the gates and machines placed above the arch.
Bo Qingtan looked at the gates and let out a whistle, "I cannot imagine how they forged it."
Shi Lang replied, "One person did not make it, and if you have doubts, use your spirit communication to talk. Otherwise, the people will call you a country bumpkin."
Bo Qingtan was surprised, and Yun Xue chuckled. She nudged the young man with her elbow as they followed Shi Lang up to the guard post.
The guards were all burly, and one was an Immortal Lord. The Immortal Lord saw three people approaching them and said, "Stop, who are you, and what do you need here?"
Shi Lang raised his brow and said, "We wish to enter the city. What is the entry fee?"
The Immortal Lord furrowed his brows and checked them with his spirit sense. Shi Lang's gaze turned colder, and he asked, "What is the meaning of this?"
The immortal lord snorted and said, "Hmph, why are you making a fuss? This is a normal security check. Now, bring me your space rings. We will check it and then return it to you."
Shi Lang tilted his head as he checked out the guard from head to toe. Yun Xue and Bo Qingtan were also glaring at the guy with anger. Shi Lang said, "Are you sure?"
The young man gazed at the guard calmly and said, "If you people are still up to your petty tricks, you will suffer."
The head guard was shocked. He did not know what kind of person could make Lord Yang walk to the city gate. He wanted to ask Lord Yang who this person was, but the young man quickly left.
He quickly moved around to search for the people he was looking for. Shi Lang saw him and asked, "Are you Yang Tie?"
Lord Yang looked at Shi Lang and approached quickly, "Are you Young Master Shi?"
Shi Lang nodded. Young Master was his title as the champion of the Dragon Amry. Yang Tie sighed and said, "Young Master, what are you doing here? I was waiting for you inside the city."
Shi Lang sighed and said, "I apologize for your trouble, but the head guard at the gate wanted to skim through my space ring before I entered the city."
Yang Tie was instantly enraged and clenched his fist. He said, "Please follow me, Young Master. I will get you an explanation about this situation."
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I can get the explanation alone. Please handle the forces behind this guy. Can that be done?"
Yang Tie smiled and said, "Young Master, the banner of the heavenly dragon stands supreme."
Shi Lang chuckled and said, "I did not expect old man Tian to have such prestige. Well, good for him. Come on."
Yang Tie nodded. He was not surprised that Shi Lang addressed Tian Long in such a manner. Shi Lang had a reputation that had spread widely and far. He was a legend, especially in the dragon army camps and among the people.
The world may think that he achieved his glory by riding the coattails of the sovereigns, but they all knew that it was his effort. Tian Long himself had said that Shi Lang killed the demon kings with the cooperation of the Sovereign.
Yang Tie had long wanted to see this guy, and today, he got to see if Shi Lang was true as Tian Long said he would be.
Shi Lang and the rest arrived before the gate again. They had asked Yang Tie to watch over them in the distance. The head guard saw them and smirked, "So, you beggars have decided to come back?"
He extended his hand and said, "Do not waste time. Hand me the rings. I will return them to you in a quick bit."
Shi Lang smiled, looked at the hand, and asked, "Sir, head guard, are you sure there will be no more trouble if we hand you the rings?"
The head guard smiled and nodded heavily as he said, "What trouble could there be? We all should take care of each other, right? Come on. There must be good things for you to attend to. Let's get it over with."
Shi Lang gazed at the hand before him and waved his hand. None of the people expected him to release his sword intent. The head guard had no chance to react, let alone defend himself. The terran smiled and said, "You are correct. Let's get it over with."
A wail echoed at the city gate. Yang Tie gulped a mouthful and as his eyes sparkled with excitement, he mumbled, "Forger City is going to be lively now."
