MTLNOVEL Chapter 9: City Demin
Next morning, after walking for almost all day Lin reached the outskirts of a city as he looked at the walls which were protecting the city and the tall buildings which were visible even beyond the wall. Lin was amazed as he saw the creation of human beings using science and technology.
"It is like those buildings of the ancient imperial cities of my time but I think these buildings are more sturdy" Lin thought to himself as he started to head to the northern gate of the city. As Lin was walking through the northern gate to reach the city a hand on his shoulder stopped him. Lin turned back as he saw a middle aged man of Qi refining 8th rank. The man had a light armor probably to protect himself.
"Kid, You are a new face huh. Anyways, You can't enter the city without you showing your identity card" The man said as he took his hand off of Lin's shoulder. "Identity card?" Lin asked as he was confused as he heard the system's voice in his mind.
[Host identity card is like those jade plaq you used in previous time to show which faction you belonged to]
"I don't have a identity card" Lin said to the man as the man replied gazing at Lin with suspicion "What? Kid, Were you living under a road all these years?" The man looked at the sword at Lin's waist and looked back at Lin's face as he said "Judging by the sword at your waist you must be a ranker but how come you have no identity card if that's the case then you must be a Demon."
The man took out his weapon a brass knuckle as he leaned forward to punch Lin but Lin dodged the attack as he moved back a few feet. Several other cultivator of Qi refining 5th rank to 9th rank and a single person of Qi circulation 1st rank who wore the same attire came some young, some middle aged and a old man as they surrounded Lin in a circle.
"Demon drop your weapon and surrender" The old man strongest among them said as he pointed the tip of his sword towards Lin. Lin looked at all these people surrounding him as he put his hand on the hilt of the sword ready to take it out and slay all of them.
In a blink of an eye, Lin appeared near that old man as the old man was unprepared as Lin's sword was going to make a connection with the old man's neck but at the end moment it was blocked. Lin looked at the new face, A middle aged man wearing a different clothes then the rest as his sword was the one to block Lin's attack. The old man fell to the ground as his death flashed in his eyes making his body tremble in fear.
"Please withdraw your weapon young man I assure you that no one will attack you" The middle aged man said to Lin as Lin jumped back several meters as he could feel that the man in front of him who is stronger than him. The middle-aged man looked at one of the guard as he said "Withdraw back and take mr.Juan (the old man) with you".
The guard nodded as he withdraw while taking the old man with him back to their original position on the gate.
