53. Sudden World War
Lin Nuo’s plan to pretend to be a member of the Dark Alliance had achieved excellent results. The black market trader not only treated him with courtesy but also allowed him to settle accounts later, without the slightest worry that he would run away.
The reputation of the Dark Alliance was still strong; there was no need for any guarantee or collateral, just settle later.
As for when this later would be, whether there would be a later, that’s another story.
According to Lin Nuo’s budget, a large amount of money would be needed to purchase prohibited materials, but the black market trader said to settle later, and he had a large portion of funds at his disposal.
Lin Nuo covered his mouth and nose with a rough cloth, like an ordinary citizen, pulling a cart carrying the box, naturally walking on the street.
The progress was going smoothly; no one noticed the various contraband materials he was transporting in his car. These materials were essential for his experiments, and if he could successfully create a shocking magical device, annihilating the dazzling city would be a breeze.
Above Yu City, a falcon soared, overlooking the city. After a long while, it descended onto the shoulder of a man standing on the rooftop.
“It must be that box.”
The man was Chen Zhong, a representative sent by the Imperial Forest Sect, gifted with extraordinary investigative talents. His contracted spirit beast, the Sky-Hunting Falcon, had previously touched the princess’s ornament, allowing it to soar above Yu City and, upon Lin Nuo’s exit from the shop, precisely detect the princess hidden within that box.
“Seize the box and rescue the princess.”
Chen Zhong muttered to himself, gathering strength. With his adept lightness skill and agile movements, he swiftly navigated between buildings and soon reached the road ahead of Lin Nuo, leaping down from the rooftop.
From noble mtl dot come
Lin Nuo was startled, sensing a strong presence approaching, and in an instant, a man descended from above.
It was Chen Zhong, whom he had encountered before. Unexpectedly, he had come to Yu City.
Fortunately, Lin Nuo had blackened his face and wrapped a cloth around his mouth and nose; otherwise, it would have been embarrassing to be recognized on the spot.
However, the situation was not optimistic. Chen Zhong, a large man, was blocking the way, and there was no passing.
“Leave the box behind.”
Chen Zhong stood in front of Lin Nuo, speaking sternly.
Leave it behind? Just because you say so? You’re looking for the princess, and now you’re meddling in my cargo transport?
“What if I refuse?”
“Then don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Chen Zhong’s middle and index fingers came together, and a strong spiritual energy swirled around him.
In contrast, Lin Nuo was also channeling his spirit, but his meager skills were no match for a duel with Chen Zhong; it was only a matter of time before he’d be battered and bloodied.
At that moment, some people were in pursuit.
“Stop, leave the box behind!”
Lin Nuo turned to look; it was the black market dealer who had just sold him the goods, along with some robust men.
What’s going on? Could it be that these people know I’m not from the Dark Alliance and want to snatch the box back, refusing to sell it to me?
That won’t do. The deposit has been paid, the deal has been made, the goods have left the door; there’s no reason to return them now.
Lin Nuo surveyed his surroundings and spotted a secluded alley wide enough for his cargo cart.
With dogs blocking both ends, he couldn’t fight his way through; he had to change course.
Lin Nuo pulled a small pink ball from his pocket and threw it to the ground. With a bang, it burst into a thick cloud of smoke.
Now’s the chance, time to make a quick escape.
Lin Nuo turned the cart’s head and steered into the alley.
Chen Zhong sensed something was amiss and hurriedly gave chase, while Yang Zhou, an elite of the Dark Alliance, led others in pursuit.
In the midst of the thick smoke, the two parties collided.
Chen Zhong saw that these people must be their reinforcements. He immediately mobilized his spiritual power and launched a Heavenly Spirit Wave.
Yang Zhou sensed the strong spiritual wave, feeling it was that youngster’s reinforcements, tasked with delaying time for his retreat. He immediately unleashed a series of Sunrise Palms to counter, the intertwining spiritual forces collided, dispersing the thick smoke.
As the smoke cleared, both sides could see each other clearly.
Chen Zhong had clashed with Yang Zhou before, and now it was like sworn enemies meeting again.
“Yang Zhou, it’s you again. As expected, the princess’s affair is your Dark Alliance’s doing. Today, I must act as heaven’s agent!”
“So what if it is? You must be here to save the princess. Dare to stand in my way, and you shall die!”
Chen Zhong and Yang Zhou, both with hair standing on end in fury, channeled their spiritual power for a head-on confrontation, unleashing a powerful energy that the nearby market houses could not escape, sending the common folk fleeing in panic.
Their battle alarmed the city’s Royal Army and the Dark Alliance members, who, sensing trouble, hurried to the scene.
At this moment, Lin Nuo had run out of the alley like a stray dog, the battle between the two causing great chaos in You City. Both the righteous Royal Guards and the villainous Dark Alliance’s black market mobilized a large number of people to rush to the scene, intercepting Lin Nuo carrying the box.
“Damn it all, I’m just transporting contraband, why’s it turning into a world war?”
He darted through various alleys like playing hide-and-seek, regardless, the goods could not be intercepted by the official soldiers, nor could they be snatched back by the black market Dark Alliance, especially after a deposit had been paid—that would be a total loss.
But no matter how hard he tried to flee, he was eventually surrounded by a group of people.
In front was a group of the Royal Army, and behind was a group of the Dark Alliance.
They’ve all come to snatch his box? What rotten luck.
What to do, fight desperately?
Lin Nuo had no choice but to face them head-on.
Suddenly, a chill swept in, and everyone’s feet, except for Lin Nuo’s, began to freeze.
