Chapter 262: Taken Away

“Calm down!”

Chen Ansheng pressed his hand on Zhong Li’s shoulder and secretly transmitted his voice:

“Don’t panic. If they have discovered you, it would never be as simple as breaking down the door!”

Hearing this, Zhong Li became more composed.

If they really knew she was here, the entire inn would have been smashed to pieces by now, and they wouldn’t have come in to investigate.

“Oh, gentlemen, what is this about?”

Zhong Li quickly shifted her demeanor, swaying her alluring body with a charming smile as she walked over.

“Get lost!”

The leading armored guard, with a serious demeanor, didn’t pay any attention to Zhong Li’s flirtation.

Zhong Li was taken aback.

You’re telling me to get lost?

Fine! I’ll get lost!

She feigned a frightened expression, clutching her chest as she fled outside.

The others regarded her only as a woman of the streets, paying her no mind.

Now, it was Chen Ansheng’s turn to be dumbfounded.

They weren’t after Zhong Li; so why did they break in?

“It’s him; take him away!”

At this moment, a heavily armored general walked in, his gaze icy as he fixed it on Chen Ansheng.

“You son of a…”

Chen Ansheng finally realized that these armored guards were after him.

After a moment of thought, he understood the reason.

It was the heavily armored general who had cast unusual glances at him during the day.

Clearly, he sensed the aura of an Alien Immortal coming from Chen Ansheng.

Just like when they captured Zhong Li, they were here to capture him!

Damn it!

“Wait!”

Gu Miaoyan quickly moved in front of Chen Ansheng.

“This person is a disciple of Immortal King Han. He hasn’t committed any crimes in the city; on what grounds do you take him away?”

Even facing Gu Miaoyan’s formidable presence, the armored guard captain showed no sign of change in expression.

“The armored guards carry out their duties and owe you no explanations. Step aside!”

The captain barked coldly, and the armored guards raised their weapons.

“How domineering! If I don’t allow it, what will you do?”

Gu Miaoyan was infuriated and prepared to confront the armored guards.

After all, in her view, Chen Ansheng was from Chaos Island, and he hadn’t committed any crime. With no proof, why should they be allowed to take him?

“Presumptuous! Where did this shrew come from? Dare to provoke the armored guards and make me angry? I’ll take you along with him!” shouted one of the armored guards angrily.

A shrew?

Gu Miaoyan was, after all, the top person under the Immortal Kings. How dare anyone call her a shrew?

What are the armored guards? What is Peace City? In the end, life for life!

“Impudent! Uneducated scum, do you believe I’ll kill you all?!”

Gu Miaoyan erupted.

Boom!

A powerful celestial aura pressed down on the dozen or so armored guards.

Though these armored guards were special and capable of enduring the assimilation of a Peak Immortal King, their own realms weren’t high. This captain was barely at the initial stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm and couldn’t possibly be a match for Gu Miaoyan.

Crack, crack…

The armored guards were pressured by Gu Miaoyan’s aura, their bones creaking as they nearly kneeled down.

Yet, they still wouldn’t show weakness, unwilling to back down.

The captain gritted his teeth, struggling to lift his black spear, pointing it at Gu Miaoyan, “Bold thief! Kneel and surrender, and I’ll spare your life!”

“Great General, calm down!”

At this moment, Chen Ansheng rushed over, hastily trying to dissuade Gu Miaoyan.

This woman had too volatile a temper.

This was a death sentence.

Of course, Chen Ansheng felt grateful in his heart that Gu Miaoyan stood up for him.

“Hmph!”

Upon hearing Chen Ansheng’s advice, Gu Miaoyan snorted coldly and withdrew her celestial aura.

The dozen or so armored guards sighed in relief.

“Take him away!”

Then, with the captain’s command, several guards rushed over to seize Chen Ansheng.

As for Gu Miaoyan, they dared not touch her for the time being. After all, if forced, the consequences could be deadly for them all.

“Chen Ansheng, don’t be afraid. I will report to the Immortal King. He will stand up for you!” Gu Miaoyan’s words were just to boost Chen Ansheng’s morale, as Immortal King Han wasn’t worthy of challenging the Snow-Haired Elder.

Even if he had that capability, he wouldn’t necessarily choose to confront a Peak Immortal King for Chen Ansheng’s sake.

“Yeah, I understand!”

Chen Ansheng didn’t resist for now; he wanted to see what the others would do with him.

Moreover, he wasn’t too anxious; if things went badly, he could call for his master. If his master couldn’t solve it, he could always cross over to take refuge. There was no escape route unavailable.

Zhong Li was hiding in the inn and hadn’t left. Seeing Chen Ansheng being captured, she grew frantic.

“Stupid donkey, don’t let them take you to prison; hurry and escape!”

Zhong Li urged anxiously through her thoughts.

“Don’t worry. I’m fine,” Chen Ansheng replied calmly.

“Fine my foot! These bastards will torture you half to death, or even kill you!”

Zhong Li had experienced the torment of the underground prison herself, and just thinking about it made her uneasy.

“Just hide well yourself. I won’t have any issues; trust me.”

After finishing his response, a group of armored guards lifted Chen Ansheng into the air, flying towards the restricted zone of Peace City, where the city’s guards were located.

Passing through multiple barriers, Chen Ansheng was brought to the entrance of a dungeon.

Just as the captain was about to throw Chen Ansheng inside, a man in white floated over and spoke a few words to the captain.

Then, the man in white reached out a claw, and Chen Ansheng was bound by a powerful celestial force and taken away.

Soon, Chen Ansheng was brought to a large mountain.

At the peak of the mountain was a lavish palace. After the man in white brought Chen Ansheng into the palace, he left on his own.

“Hmm?”

Chen Ansheng was a bit dazed.

Wasn’t he supposed to be imprisoned in a dungeon and tortured? This environment was too beautiful.

Moreover, the celestial spirit energy here was extremely rich, almost like that on Chaos Island.

With no one around, Chen Ansheng had no idea what was going to happen.

He simply sat down on the spot, calming his mind and waiting.

Before long, a white-haired elder, dressed in plain linen, approached Chen Ansheng.

Chen Ansheng opened his eyes and regarded the elder.

Returning to simplicity, the aura felt like that of a mortal.

In his heart, Chen Ansheng suddenly grew a bit anxious.

This Peak Immortal King had personally come to find him. What was this about?

“Why are you silent?”

After a moment of mutual gaze, the white-haired elder took the initiative to speak.

His tone was calm, and his expression kind, appearing as simple as an ordinary peasant.

“You haven’t asked anything,” Chen Ansheng shrugged.

“Hehe.”

The white-haired elder smiled.

Then, he dove straight to the point, “I presume you already know my identity. I won’t beat around the bush. I brought you here to exchange something with you.”

Chen Ansheng’s heart tightened.

What could he possibly have that would interest this old man?

So he replied, “Are you joking, Immortal King? I have nothing of value in your eyes. If I did, I would have just offered it up directly.”

The white-haired elder’s gaze suddenly became incredibly profound, as if he could penetrate Chen Ansheng’s celestial body and see straight into his dantian.
