The Floating City, also known as the Holy City.
From its inception, the creation of the Floating City was intended to facilitate communication between the Hundred Races, that’s why it is also called: the Holy City.
Thus, the Lord of the Floating City is also the Saint Master, enjoying great honor and privileges on the Hundred Races Continent.
When Lin Yi appeared with the identity of the Lord of the Floating City, the guards at the gate naturally did not dare to neglect and had to muster the courage to salute in front of Frankie:
Lin Yi exuded an aura of authority and spoke with a formidable presence:
The two guards hastily replied:
"Thank you, Master Saint."
And then respectfully stood aside.
Frankie looked at the newcomer and gritted his teeth:
"You dare to appear!"
Lin Yi looked at Frankie and smiled faintly:
"Why wouldn’t I dare?"
Upon hearing this, Frankie was momentarily stunned and then showed a sinister look:
"Chosen One, you better know your limits and not attempt things beyond your capabilities."
"Or the consequences will be beyond what you can bear."
Despite Lin Yi disguising himself as the Lord of the Floating City, in front of someone of Frankie’s caliber, a Level 80 Demigod, it was as if nothing was hidden.
However, Lin Yi’s identity as the Lord of the Floating City was protected by the system, making it so even if Frankie knew, he could not take action against Lin Yi.
Because in terms of status, the identity of the Lord of the Floating City was far superior to that of an ordinary city lord like Frankie.
If Frankie attacked without cause, it would be akin to treason, a fact Frankie knew all too well.
Since the so-called "Father God" began ruling this world, everything had to adhere to the established rules.
Within these rules, Frankie was not qualified to act against Lin Yi’s current status.
Thus, Frankie could only resort to verbal threats, hoping to deter Lin Yi.
But would Lin Yi be someone who was easily intimidated?
Lin Yi was completely unfazed by Frankie’s threats:
"Whether or not it is something I can handle is none of your concern, City Lord Frankie."
Without acknowledging Frankie’s darkening expression, Lin Yi addressed the two guards:
"I just want to know, what right do you have to keep a Chosen One out of the gates?"
"According to the rules set by Father God, any eligible Chosen One can enter any place, so why can’t they enter your Ussuri City?"
"Aren’t you afraid of Father God’s wrath? Such audacity!"
As he finished, Lin Yi’s voice grew louder, until he was almost shouting.
The two guards, frightened and confused, knelt down in panic:
"Master Saint, there may be some misunderstanding here."
The situation quickly drew the attention of the surrounding players.
Everyone was actually not unfamiliar with the Lord of the Floating City.
After all, during the previous trial in the secret realm, everyone had seen his majesty via live stream.
Currently, on the game forums in various battle zones, videos of the Lord of the Floating City as a boss are still circulating.
"How could the Lord of the Floating City appear here?"
This was the question that came to the minds of all the players, and Chavez, who heard the news, also rushed over immediately.
He had previously heard that his sister Saka was killed by this lord, initially finding it hard to believe, but seeing the lord in person now, he believed Saka’s words.
Moreover, seeing the tense and confrontational atmosphere between Frankie and the lord left the surrounding players scratching their heads, eager to know what undisclosed matters were hidden within.
Watching the guards trembling in fear, Frankie’s face shifted through various emotions:
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Yi shouted sternly:
"I am the Master of the Holy City, you better think carefully before you speak."
At this moment, Lin Yi did not want to reveal his identity as the Lord of the Floating City.
If continuously referred to as ’Chosen One,’ those with intent may start to suspect his real identity.
Frankie glared at Lin Yi:
If he could, Frankie would crush this naive Chosen One with one hand.
In reality, with Frankie’s current strength, he could likely finish off the opponent multiple times without even lifting a hand.
However, as the person standing before him was in the guise of the Lord of the Floating City, all Frankie’s grumblings had to be swallowed.
To be scolded by someone he saw as an ant without being able to retort, the frustration in his chest was understandable.
Seeing Frankie’s face of wanting to kill but unable to, Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile:
"What is it, City Lord Frankie, do you have any objections to my questions?"
Frankie struggled to suppress his anger, looking levelly at Lin Yi:
"Master Saint, this is an internal affair of my city, you seem unqualified to interfere, don’t you think?"
"May I ask, if I wanted to enter through this gate, would you also refuse me?"
The two guards, who were just about to stand up, instantly knelt back down in fear, hastily responding:
But Frankie stood at the middle of the city gate, staring gravely at Lin Yi, and whispered to him:
"Chosen One, know when to stop."
"I offer you a quest that could earn you a demigod artifact in exchange for abandoning this task, how about it?"
Lin Yi looked up at Frankie in slight amazement, silent in his heart: Such a grand offer!
However, his subsequent actions spoke for his response; Lin Yi simply bypassed Frankie, saying softly as he passed:
"The more you don’t want me to do something, the more I want to uncover the truth."
Then Lin Yi confidently walked into Ussuri City under the eyes of the crowd.
The players crowding the gate also moved aside automatically, clearing a path.
Behind Lin Yi, Frankie’s uplifted hand fell in resignation several times.
At this moment, the two guards quietly asked Frankie:
"City Lord, should we maintain the lockdown?"
Frankie irritably shouted: For origınal chapters go to NoveIꜰire.net
Watching Frankie follow Lin Yi into the city, the two guards looked at each other, one of them asked:
"Should we still stop them?"
The other glanced fearfully at the sky, then shrank back:
"Better to heed the Saint Master’s words, this was against the rules all along, if Father God is angered, we can’t escape the blame either."
Among the crowded people, Red Eyes and Tian Ci, who went into stealth mode, slipped unnoticed into the city under the gaze of the two guards.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi moved steadily toward the City Lord’s Mansion in Ussuri City, with Frankie following uneasily, watching Lin Yi’s back.
As Lin Yi stood at the edge of the square in front of the City Lord’s Mansion, Frankie finally spoke up again, making a final stand:
"If you abandon this quest, I can provide you with clues to a true divine artifact, how about it?"
