Chapter 513

Xu Que had really hit the jackpot this time. After running away immediately after acting cool, he ended up being teleported directly outside Tianluo City by the Divine Movement Escape Talisman, crossing hundreds of miles.

Regardless, a city meant people.

Xu Que felt his luck wasn't too bad after all, so he grabbed Er Gouzi and walked toward the city gate.

The scale of Tianluo City was immense, so large it was breathtaking.

Even before entering the city, the thick, ancient city walls alone were over three meters high, more imposing than any imperial city in the Five Elements Mountain.

The walls were built of bricks and bronze. Over the long passage of time, they had become rusted and weathered, yet they remained sturdy and majestic.

On the city gate were the vigorous characters "Tianluo City," exuding a sense of vicissitudes.

"Er Gouzi, did you come here ten thousand years ago?" Xu Que asked.

He felt this ancient city had a very long history; perhaps it really had been passed down for ten thousand years.

Er Gouzi shook its head. "This Divine Venerable has no impression of it. How could such a small city catch my eye!"

"That's called a dog's eye!" Xu Que said with disdain, though he was also clicking his tongue. If Tianluo City was considered a small city, how big would a truly large city be?

Although Xu Que had been mentally prepared before coming, it was normal for the overseas region to be stronger than the Five Elements Mountain.

But now, encountering an ancient city at random that was more imposing and magnificent than any imperial city in the Five Elements Mountain, the gap was ridiculously large.

What was worse was that Void Refinement Stage experts seemed to be everywhere here. Xu Que found it difficult to act cool on a grand scale; the only thing he could do was probably run away after acting cool.

"Excuse me, soldier, I am a scholar who has just arrived. I would like to find an inn called the Bright Moon Pavilion. Do you happen to know where it is?" Arriving at the city gate, Xu Que couldn't be bothered to enter the city yet. He continued to act like a scholar, asking the guard politely.

This place was too dangerous. He felt it would be better to reunite with the Empress as soon as possible, so he had to find the Bright Moon Pavilion quickly.

The guard didn't seem to have a good impression of scholars. After coldly glancing at Xu Que and Er Gouzi, he said indifferently, "The tallest building after entering the city is it!"

"What?" Xu Que was stunned. Enter the city?

The guard frowned. "What's wrong with you scholars? It's common knowledge that the Bright Moon Pavilion is the tallest building in our Tianluo City. How can you not even know that?"

"Maybe I'm a fake scholar!"

Xu Que rolled his eyes, turned around, and entered the city with Er Gouzi.

But inwardly, he thought his luck was exploding. The Divine Movement Escape Talisman was a random teleportation talisman. After using dozens of them, not only did he land outside Tianluo City, but the Bright Moon Pavilion he wanted to go to was also in Tianluo City. This was even more impressive than winning the lottery!

"Truly, one doesn't have to look far for what one seeks!" Xu Que said happily. Now he didn't even need to rush to another city; entering the city would settle everything!

Er Gouzi was also amazed. "Kid, those talismans of yours are too fierce. Give this Divine Venerable a few for self-defense!"

"You behave yourself. If it weren't for you causing trouble just now, would we have needed to run?" Xu Que stared at Er Gouzi and warned.

Er Gouzi was immediately unhappy and said angrily, "Kid, the one who caused trouble just now was clearly you!"

"Alright, alright, don't worry about those details. Anyway, after entering the city this time, we must be low-key. Do you understand low-key?" Xu Que waved his hand, feeling a bit embarrassed, as he had indeed been the one to cause trouble first.

However, now that he had arrived in Tianluo City and would soon find the Bright Moon Pavilion and meet the Empress, Xu Que felt it was necessary to leave a good impression on her and not cause trouble casually anymore.

Moreover, he was only at the fourth level of the Infant Transformation Stage. If he caused trouble and encountered a Void Refinement Stage expert, it would be too embarrassing to run away again.

Tianluo City was very lively, with people coming and going.

What surprised Xu Que was that the people coming and going in the city were a mixed bag. Besides cultivators, there were demon beasts and half-human half-demon beings; the three races coexisted.

However, according to Er Gouzi, demon beasts here belonged to the Beast Race, and half-human half-demon beings belonged to the Demon Race. On the surface, there were no racial conflicts between the three races, but there were many struggles behind the scenes.

But Xu Que felt this environment was actually the best, very suitable for Su Ling'er and her clan to survive here, at least they wouldn't be looked down upon by the Human Race and demon beasts.

"Kid, the tallest building is there!" At this moment, Er Gouzi stopped and pointed to a tall building not far away.

Xu Que looked up. An ancient-style building rose from the ground, dozens of meters high, comparable to skyscrapers on Earth.

The building was magnificent, with green tiles and vermilion eaves, carved beams and painted rafters—it could be called art!

"Impressive, an inn can be this awesome?" Xu Que was amazed. This was comparable to those six-star high-end hotels on Earth!

"Tsk, another bumpkin!"

At this moment, a voice full of mockery and disdain suddenly came from behind Xu Que.

Xu Que and Er Gouzi frowned at the same time and turned to look.

They saw several wealthy young masters in luxurious clothes looking at them with playfulness.

One of them was playing with two white jade stones in his hand. He looked very wealthy and mocked Xu Que, "Kid, you just said the Bright Moon Pavilion is an inn? You've got some nerve. A place like the Bright Moon Pavilion is only qualified to be considered an inn by the Saint Sons and Saint Maidens of major factions. And you... hmph, you don't take the Bright Moon Pavilion seriously at all, do you?"

Oh my god!

Is someone really coming to cause trouble just by walking on the road?

Xu Que immediately widened his eyes. He felt he shouldn't cause trouble, but he didn't expect that just saying a few words would immediately attract trouble.

"Gentlemen, I don't seem to have provoked you, do I?" Xu Que still squeezed out a smile and said calmly. Enduring for a moment would bring peace; it was better to be low-key since he had just arrived.

The wealthy young masters laughed even more happily. The man playing with the white jade stones sneered, "You've already provoked the entire Tianluo City by calling the Bright Moon Pavilion an inn!"

"Then let me ask you, if the Bright Moon Pavilion isn't an inn, what is it?" Xu Que said helplessly. Although the Bright Moon Pavilion looked very luxurious and imposing, it was essentially an inn!

"The Bright Moon Pavilion is the holy land of our Tianluo City. With your status as a bumpkin, you are not qualified to comment on it. You should kneel and worship it, understand?" The man with the white jade stones said with cold eyes, very aggressively.

Xu Que's face sank, and his murderous intent arose.

He didn't want to cause trouble, but that didn't mean he would be bullied like this.

"Kid, beat him!" Er Gouzi couldn't stand it anymore either. It felt indignant for Xu Que and encouraged him from the side.

"What? You want to fight me? In Tianluo City, you don't even have the qualifications to fight me!" The man with the white jade stones sneered, fearless, clearly having a very significant background.

Xu Que hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head.

He came here to find the Empress, and as far as he knew, the Empress seemed to have conflicts with her family. If he caused trouble, he might implicate the Empress instead.

Forget it, endure a little longer!

"Er Gouzi, let's go!" Xu Que patted Er Gouzi and prepared to turn and leave, not wanting to argue with these people.

Er Gouzi was unwilling. "Damn it, kid, are we just going to let it go?"

"Let it go, don't cause trouble!" Xu Que comforted.

"Alright, I'll listen to you this time!" Er Gouzi saw that Xu Que truly didn't want to cause trouble, so it had to back down. After all, it didn't dare to fight anyone itself.

However, just as the man and the dog turned around, mocking laughter came from behind them.

"Haha, how boring. This bumpkin is too cowardly, he actually ran away!"

"Sigh, no fun to be had now!"

"It's okay, there are so many bumpkins coming to Tianluo City to see the Bright Moon Pavilion every day. There will always be some with hot tempers. When that happens, if they strike first, we'll have a reason to fight back, beat them until their limbs are crippled, and throw them back into the trash heap."

"Haha, Brother Han is still the smart one!"

"You all flatter me. When it comes to bullying people, I, Han Guoqiang, have always been an expert!"

Just as they said this, Xu Que suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned his head in shock and stared at the man with the white jade stones, stunned. "Who did you just say you were?"

The man with the white jade stones was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "What? Have you, a bumpkin, heard of my great name, Han Guoqiang?"

"Your name is Han Guoqiang?" Xu Que narrowed his eyes.

"That's right!" The man with the white jade stones was full of confidence, thinking Xu Que had truly heard of his great name.

"Han your mother! Er Gouzi, go, beat him to death!" Xu Que cursed loudly, directly swung his Xuanzhong Ruler, and smashed it toward the man with the white jade stones. ===== CHAPTER 514 =====
