After resolving the troubles at Yard Station, the two accelerated their journey and soon arrived at Anque City. Anque City is located at the border of Jiu Yi County and the Azure Wolf Kingdom, serving as a frontline camp where the two nations come into direct contact, making its strategic importance evident.
Anque City is renowned for its sturdy walls and deep moats. The arrow towers and beacon towers on the city walls are densely packed, resembling a slumbering giant that quietly guards this land. Here, countless battles are fought, with the intensity of conflict ranking second along the border between Da Ao Kingdom and Azure Wolf Kingdom, only surpassed by the legendary Dragon City.
Due to its critical strategic position and frequent warfare, the Di Sha War Division has been stationed here. The Di Sha Zhan Bu is one of the two major divisions of Tian Gang Di Sha, equally famous as the Tian Gang Battle Division stationed in Dragon City, yet differing greatly in style. The warriors of Di Sha Zhan Bu are known for their bravery and prowess in close combat. Clad in heavy armor and wielding formidable weapons, they remain steadfast in the fiercest battles, delivering devastating blows to their enemies.
The strength of Di Sha Zhan Bu lies not only in the valor of its warriors but also in its unique tactics and rigorous training. They always manage to exploit the enemy's weaknesses under the most unfavorable conditions, striking lethal blows. Furthermore, training within Di Sha Zhan Bu is extremely strict; every warrior must undergo layers of selection and harsh training to become a member of the Di Sha War Division.
When Chen Moxuan and Chen Feng arrived at Anque City, it was just at dusk. Under the setting sun, Anque City appeared even more magnificent; the arrow towers cast long shadows in the golden light, resembling a grand painting.
Chen Feng donned his prepared battle armor, feeling an inexplicable surge of excitement from its cold touch. He tightly gripped the seal that represented his identity, ready to step into the renowned Anque City. However, when he reached the city gate, the guards did not immediately allow him entry as he had anticipated. Instead, they scrutinized him from head to toe, a hint of barely perceptible disdain flickering in their eyes.
"Are you that new Wu Zhuang?" one of the guards questioned with a tone laced with skepticism. He did not rush to let Chen Feng enter but instead gestured for him to wait outside while he reported to Di Sha Jiang Jun first before granting permission for entry.
Hearing this, Chen Feng felt a wave of displeasure rise within him. He had come bearing a seal and was still being kept outside! Even if he were to meet Di Sha Jiang Jun, it should have been a personal visit; such notifications should be delivered by his own guards.
For a moment, Chen Feng was uncertain whether this gatekeeper's attitude was directed at him or if it stemmed from Di Sha Jiang Jun's own sentiments. Nonetheless, it was said that troublesome situations often befell Chen Feng; all he could do now was wait.
Just then, voices began to drift over from within Cheng Tou—though quiet, they were clear enough for Chen Feng to hear distinctly.
The figure at the city gate is the legendary Wu Zhuang. Do you know why he only arrived just before the three-month term was about to end?
I don’t know!
It’s because that guy is a coward. I heard that during his term, he went home for a visit and even planned to join the Shangqing Sect. It’s honestly laughable!
Hmph, someone like him is fit to be part of our Di Sha Zhan Bu? What a joke!
The most interesting part is, I don’t even know how he became Wu Zhuang. His opponents along the way were either injured from the previous match or didn’t perform well. In the final match, that guy at the first level of Innate was defeated by someone at the Houtian Shizhong level, and he ended up as Wu Zhuang.
Those words were like sharp blades, cutting into Chen Feng’s heart with each syllable.
He knew those remarks were meant to humiliate him, trying to provoke him.
Beside him, Chen Moxuan seemed quite interested: “Kid, did you really defeat an opponent at the first level of Innate with your Houtian Shizhong strength?”
At this moment, Chen Feng felt a bit embarrassed: “In the final match, my opponent had fought fiercely in the previous round and didn’t have enough time to recover. Plus, he was only at the first level of Innate, and his Internal Energy hadn’t fully transformed into spiritual power, so he lost to me.”
Chen Moxuan pondered for a moment after hearing this and simply smiled: “You were indeed lucky. But it seems you’ll have to put in more effort than others if you want to win over the hearts of the troops.”
Chen Feng clenched his fists and said: “Ancestor, I am no longer who I used to be; my current strength is enough for this position.”
Chen Moxuan patted his shoulder: “Winning hearts can sometimes be like moving a mountain. If you want to change others’ opinions, you’ll need to put in more effort. However, there are many who don’t want things to go well for you.”
Just as they were conversing, the city gate slowly opened.
The City Defense Commander walked up to Chen Feng, his gaze filled with scrutiny and disdain, as if he were looking at a mere clown.
“The general has allowed you entry into the city. But who is this beside you? Your attendant?”
He deliberately elongated his tone, his voice dripping with contempt.
Hearing this, Chen Moxuan calmly replied: “Reporting to the general, I am his horse attendant, responsible for taking care of his steed.”
Upon hearing this, the City Defense Commander smirked mockingly and fixed his gaze on Chen Feng, clearly trying to make things difficult for him.
“Hmph! A Wu Zhuang actually needs a horse attendant to enter the city? How ridiculous.”
“However, since you insist on it, then let’s go in together.”
However, the Di Sha General was not someone easy to meet. A person with little strength, hmph, I bet the Di Sha General would send you to clean the toilets!
As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal them to leave, but the disdain and contempt in his eyes did not fade.
Chen Feng could tolerate his own humiliation, but he never expected the other party would treat Ancestor with such an attitude. His eyes reddened for a moment.
Seeing this, Chen Moxuan grabbed him firmly, using his immense strength to prevent Chen Feng from rushing out.
The City Defense Commander, witnessing this scene, assumed that Chen Feng lacked any real power and felt even more disdainful.
Ancestor, how can we allow him to insult us like this? According to the traditions of Da Ao Kingdom, even the lowest official rank assigned to me would be higher than his! How dare he mock a superior!
Chen Moxuan patted his shoulder: Even the soldiers at the city gate know your reputation; clearly, someone is stirring trouble behind the scenes.
As for this city defense commander, he might have believed the rumors and thus looks down on you. It’s also possible he is involved in this as well. But regardless, we can't start a fight on your first day here.
There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him later. Remember, a gentleman takes his revenge; it’s never too late.
Chen Feng was instantly impressed by Ancestor's meticulous thoughts and broad-mindedness. He silently noted this down in his heart, preparing to settle scores later.
As the city gate slowly opened, the two stepped inside side by side.
Upon entering the city, they immediately spotted a soldier clad in black Mystic Level armor standing beside Tian Sha General.
