Chapter 1247

Coupled with the previous operations of the Dao One Sect disciples, many people's fish tallies had inexplicably gone missing.

So many people were gathered at the city gate because of this.

Therefore, the moment Lin Luochen took action, the people who had already raised their vigilance noticed it immediately.

She had originally targeted a middle-aged man, but this middle-aged man had remained vigilant; suddenly feeling movement at his waist, he grabbed it tightly with his hand while turning his head sharply, meeting Lin Luochen's eyes.

Lin Luochen didn't expect the middle-aged man's reaction to be so quick.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but the next second, following the middle-aged man's roar, Lin Luochen was stunned.

"The little thief is here, I caught her; go call the soldiers quickly."

Huh??? *What little thief??? *

Lin Luochen was completely stunned; she couldn't understand what the middle-aged man was saying at all.

But soon, following the shouting, several soldiers at the city gate had walked over with big strides.

Seeing Lin Luochen for the first time, they all looked unkind, and some had even drawn the swords at their waists.

"Bold thief, you stole something and still dare not leave."

Huh???

*What the hell did I steal? I haven't even had a chance to act yet. *

With so many people losing their fish tallies, the city guards naturally counted everything on Lin Luochen's head.

And even if it wasn't done by her alone, it was definitely a group crime; although they didn't know what this group was stealing fish tallies for, it was definitely with ill intent, so they would capture her first.

"Capture her."

The leading soldier waved his hand, signaling to take action.

Seeing this, Lin Luochen was speechless—what the hell was going on?

But facing the soldiers' step-by-step approach, she naturally couldn't surrender without a fight.

She still remembered that the Sect Master said to see him at the palace; if she were thrown into jail, how could they meet?

Seeing no other way, Lin Luochen gritted her teeth and took action directly.

With her cultivation, dealing with a few ordinary city guards was naturally easy.

But the sound of fighting naturally attracted the attention of other city guards.

Soon, the sound of war drums for help came from the city gate—someone was causing trouble at the city gate.

"Damn it."

Cursing secretly, Lin Luochen couldn't care about anything else; since things had come to this, she could only take this opportunity to rush into the city first.

Once she entered the city, she would think of a way to sneak into the palace.

Her body turned into a residual image, rushing toward the city quickly, while the city guards at the gate were still shouting loudly.

"Surround this thief, don't let her run."

"Captain, something's wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"That little thief is coming toward us."

"Huh???"

Hearing this, the captain turned his head and looked; sure enough, he saw Lin Luochen advancing instead of retreating, actually taking the initiative to rush toward the city—what was she doing? For a time, the captain was completely baffled.

Logically speaking, since it had already come to this, shouldn't she just escape directly? Why throw herself into the net?

One had to know that once she entered the Imperial Capital, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar—was this person stupid?

"She's beautiful, but is she sick in the head?"

The captain couldn't help but sigh, but soon regained his senses and said in a low voice.

"Let her in."

He wasn't stupid; he knew Lin Luochen's strength was not bad, far from what these ordinary soldiers could handle.

But since she wanted to seek her own death, then let her wish be granted; let her in first.

Rushing all the way to the city gate, she thought there would be a fight, but she didn't expect that when the soldiers at the gate saw her, they would take the initiative to move aside.

Smiles even appeared on their faces.

"Hmm? What's the situation with this guy?"

As they passed each other, Lin Luochen's eyes were full of doubt, while the city guards' eyes were full of mockery.

Under such a gaze, Lin Luochen successfully broke into the Imperial Capital, and at the same time, the city guards said coldly.

"Notify the general, send people to search and arrest; absolutely don't let this thief go."

"Yes."

Not daring to stop along the way, Lin Luochen didn't stop until she reached an empty alley.

Now that she had successfully entered the Imperial Capital, what next?

"I wonder how Senior Brothers and the others are doing?"

She was still worried about Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and the others; little did she know, the Senior Brothers were already strolling around the city, feeling relaxed and easy.

"Tsk tsk, worthy of being a great city in the Central Continent; since we want to sneak into the palace, there's no need to rush for a moment; let's go find out some news first—know yourself and know your enemy, and you'll never be defeated; this brothel looks pretty good."

Walking and stopping along the way, Xu Jie muttered to himself, then happened to pass by a luxuriously decorated brothel, talking nonsense about finding out news, and then turned a corner and walked in with a smile on his face.
