Chapter 1640: A Thing Beats Another

...This was, of course, within Su Changge's expectations.But after watching for a while, he realized... Fang Yu wasn't there at all.Only the Celestial Sky Halberd could contend with the demonic infant..."So alert"

Fang Yu was a little surprised, his eyebrows raised.

And Tianjidao and Chen Qian'an beside him also had a flicker of surprise in their eyes.

These soldiers could tell so quickly that the three of them hadn't passed through the five Guardian Cities properly

The situation is beyond expectation.

But Tianji Dao Ren and Chen Qian'an did not act rashly, instead bowing their heads and waiting for Fang Yu's response.

Fang Yu looked up at the soldiers ahead.

Between the two guardian cities above, many soldiers have already gripped their weapons, ready to strike at any moment.

And the soldiers standing before Fang Yu retreated, their faces cold and eyes icy.

"Where do you come from, and what is your purpose!” This soldier clearly held a rank, his words carrying an undeniable authority.

"I can explain," Fang Yu said. "It's a misunderstanding."

"Answer my question at once! Why are you bypassing the five protective cities ahead" the soldier barked coldly.

"That's how it was. When we arrived at the first Guardian City, we were walking on the main road when we suddenly sensed a strange aura passing by us." Fang Yu fabricated, "We immediately became alert, thinking that an enemy might have appeared, so we followed it."

"From then on, we strayed from the path, moving from the edge of the mountains until we reached here."

"But we haven't caught up to that aura yet..."

Fang Yu spoke, but his eyes flickered with a strange light.

A blooming flower pattern, slowly released from his pupils, enlarging in the vision of the soldier before him.

The soldier's face twitched for a moment, his expression shifting.

"...I see." Zhan Bing nodded, the three feathered individuals smiled at them, "You can pass now."

Saying that, Zhanbing stepped aside.

Then, the large group of soldiers behind them still glared at Fang Yu and the other two with fierce eyes.

"You should step aside," Fang Yu said. "Your boss already knows the situation."

"Your actions are suspicious, your motives questionable. What right does a mere centurion have to let you pass!"

At this moment, another armored general appeared before them.

“I’ve already explained the reason, and I showed you the token. You don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do about that.” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, threateningly. “I have to warn you, even though I am the city lord, your rank is just a soldier. If you push me too far… I’ll report you to the Bone-eating King.”

Hearing this, the general laughed instead of being angry, even laughing out loud.

Even many of the soldiers behind him couldn't help but smile.

Fang Yu's brow furrowed.

"Just a mere city lord, wanting to accuse the Bone-Eater King's personal guard! Go ahead! See if the king trusts you, a small city lord, or us!" The general laughed heartily.

"So the city lord isn't worth much But Nuo Jiang looks so imposing." Fang Yu frowned and muttered to himself.

"The three of you, I don't care what city you come from, nor your status," the general said with a cold smile gone. "As long as you haven't passed the examination of the five guardian cities in front according to the rules, you have no right to be here!"

Having said that, he glared fiercely at the soldier who had made way for Fang Yu, then turned to Fang Yu and his companions, raising his hand in a gesture.

"Bring these three in here and take them to the prison! I will personally interrogate them afterwards!"

As soon as the words left his lips, the numerous soldiers behind him immediately sprang into action!

"Boom!"

A massive aura of soldiers' presence emanated, causing the ground to tremble.

"Sigh, there's no other way, looks like I have to do this myself." Fang Yu sighed inwardly and was about to raise his hand.

Just then.

"The Prince has arrived!"

Suddenly, a sound incredibly loud came from behind.

This caused the group of soldiers who were about to apprehend Fang Yu and his companions to be taken aback, including the general who frowned and looked up towards the rear where Fang Yu was located.

A whole troop of men appeared in that spot.

"Just take care of these three!," the general shouted.

Only then did the numerous soldiers shift their gaze to where Fang Yu and his two companions stood.

But just at that moment, their faces changed!

The three people who were standing there just three seconds ago... are gone!

The general also reacted, his face instantly turning grim.

His eyes flashed with a strange light as he looked around.

However, Fang Yu and the other two had already disappeared without a trace.

"To dare escape under my very nose..." The general's face was as dark as night, his anger simmering uncontrollably!

At this moment, he turned his gaze once more to the soldier below, who was under Fang Yu's control.

"To let three suspicious individuals go so easily… Strip him of his centurion rank and throw him in the dungeons! I suspect he's involved with those men!" the general roared.

As soon as the centurion regained consciousness, he was controlled by several soldiers and shackled.

"I, I'm innocent! Innocent!" the centurion roared to his soldiers.

However, the military order was absolute, and he was forcibly taken away.

At this moment, the prince's procession slowly arrived at the checkpoint in front of the two guardian cities.

"See the Crown Prince of Cranes," The general took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his chest and bowed with his fists clasped.

The Crown Prince of the Crane Tribe is sitting on a giant white crane, hovering in mid-air.

He also has gray skin and gray eyes, but his handsome features are evident, as is the soft, alluring aura he emanates.

"I heard quite a commotion here earlier. What happened" asked the Prince of Cranes.

"Three suspicious individuals crossed the five protector fortresses ahead and arrived here. We wanted to apprehend them." The general answered truthfully.

"Got it" asked the Crown Prince He.

"...No, they simply vanished before our eyes...But I will dispatch a pursuit party immediately to bring them back as soon as possible!" the general said with a grim expression.

"You can't even catch them standing right in front of you. Do you think sending a team after them now will bring them back" the Crown Prince He asked with a faint smile.

The commander's face changed, he lowered his head and clasped his fists together, saying: "Your Highness, this is indeed our dereliction of duty. We will do our best to make amends."

"I will have my father consider strengthening the defenses of Protector City," said Prince He with a smile. "In the future, you will have more helpers and such situations will not occur again."

The general said nothing more, only bowing.

"Let's go." Hehe smiled, the Crown Prince of Cranes driving his white crane forward slowly.

And the troops behind him immediately followed suit.

Behind this group of prince's guards, there were three armored warriors.

It is precisely Fang Yu and the three of them!

Upon seeing the arrival of the prince's procession, Fang Yu immediately abandoned his plan to attack and instead blended in with the prince's personal guard.

As things stand, that arrogant general... seems to have to lower his head in the presence of the prince. He doesn't even dare utter a word in rebuttal.

Perhaps, that's what they call "one thing beats another."

Now, Fang Yu and his two companions mingled in the ranks behind the prince's retinue, naturally there was no risk of being stopped.

hf;ally, it must be because the fame of your sect leader has reached even him!"Fang Yu didn't say much. He looked at Chen Ye and asked, "This Ye Ge, is he really Lin Baitian's follower""Yes," Chen Ye rep...
