Gods: Start with Goblins

However, Luodan was not afraid at all. His heart was full of challenges and desire for the unknown.

He continued to move forward, each step full of strength and determination. He knew that only by moving forward could he find the answers and destination he wanted.

And those half-human, half-demon guys, as well as other existences in this city, will become witnesses and companions on his life journey.

"What a powerful monster. I've never heard of a monster that can transform into a human, not to mention that the aura of this monster has reached the demigod level."

An old man in gorgeous robes exclaimed, his eyes filled with shock and awe.

The young man next to him also nodded repeatedly, obviously deeply shocked by the scene before him.

"I almost thought he escaped from the spirit world." Another middle-aged man in plain clothes said, his voice trembling. "Apart from the big guys in the barrier, who else would have such strength and aura?"

"Okay, stop talking." A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader interrupted their discussion. "The most urgent thing is to inform the city lord and let him know that an important person is coming to visit, so as not to neglect him! Such a powerful person is not something we can ask casually."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. They reacted quickly, some left in a hurry, obviously to inform the city lord; others stayed where they were, staring at the direction where Luo Dan left, their hearts full of curiosity and expectation.

Luo Dan ignored the comments and gazes of the people around him and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion was majestic and magnificent, with towering walls and exquisite carvings showing its extraordinaryness. Luo Dan looked up at the city gate and saw a huge plaque hanging on it, with three big characters "City Lord's Mansion" written on it. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, revealing a sense of majesty.

He walked into the City Lord's Mansion and saw people coming and going in the mansion, which was very lively. Many people who looked like him were busy, some of them were wearing gorgeous clothes, while others were wearing simple clothes, but without exception, they all exuded a noble aura. Their actions were full of indifference and arrogance, as if they disdained everything around them.

Luo Dan didn't care about their attitude. He walked straight to a hall in the mansion. The hall was decorated luxuriously and magnificently. In the center was a huge round table, and several people who seemed to be of extraordinary status were sitting around it. They were talking in low voices, with solemn expressions.

Luo Dan's arrival caught their attention. They all looked up at him, with a hint of surprise and curiosity in their eyes. One of the old men in a gorgeous robe stood up and walked towards Luo Dan. His tone was respectful and tentative: "Excuse me, who are you?"

Luo Dan smiled slightly and did not directly answer his question. He glanced at the people in the hall and had already made up his mind. He knew that these people were important figures in the City Lord's Mansion, and their strength and status should not be underestimated.

"I'm here to see the city lord." Luo Dan said lightly. Although his voice was light, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

The old man's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He quickly looked at Luo Dan, trying to figure out his identity and purpose. After a moment, he nodded and said respectfully, "Please wait a moment, I will go and inform the city lord."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry. Luo Dan found a seat in the hall and sat down, quietly waiting for the city lord to arrive. He knew that this visit would be an unusual meeting, and he had already made full preparations.

Soon, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes hurried into the hall. He had a solemn expression and sharp eyes, and was obviously a man who had been through many battles and had seen a lot. He was the lord of this city, a powerful man who enjoyed a great reputation on the continent.

As soon as the city lord entered the hall, he saw Luo Dan sitting there. He was startled and quickly looked at Luo Dan, trying to figure out his identity and purpose. After a moment, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Luo Dan smiled slightly, stood up and went to meet the city lord. He stretched out his right hand, shook hands with the city lord, and said calmly: "I am Luo Dan, from afar. This time I came to visit the city lord because I have something to discuss."

The city lord's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He quickly searched for information about Luo Dan in his mind, but found that he knew nothing about this name. He secretly tried to figure out Luo Dan's identity and background, and at the same time, he was also thinking about how to deal with this sudden strong man.

After a moment, he nodded and motioned Luo Dan to sit down. Then, he asked, "What do you want to discuss? As long as I can help, I will do my best."

Luo Dan nodded secretly when he heard this. He knew that although the city lord was polite on the surface, he was full of vigilance and suspicion in his heart. However, he did not care about these. He believed that his strength and sincerity could impress the city lord.

So, he began to explain his purpose and plan to the city lord. His words were full of confidence and determination, as if he had seen the dawn of success. The city lord listened to his story carefully and nodded in agreement from time to time.

As time goes by, the atmosphere between the two gradually becomes harmonious. They begin to discuss various issues and plans in depth, as if they have forgotten each other's identities and status. And this sudden meeting will also bring unprecedented changes and opportunities to this city and the entire continent.

"Why are there so many people guarding the gate of the City Lord's Mansion? It's so crowded, as if they don't want anyone to get in." Luo Dan muttered in his heart, and his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. He saw that the guards were wearing uniform armor, holding spears, and had solemn expressions. They were obviously elite soldiers who had undergone rigorous training. Their eyes revealed a kind of vigilance and alertness, as if they were ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

"Who are those two upcoming great forces? How could they scare the city lord so much that he has increased the guards?" Luo Dan speculated in his heart, but he knew that it was too late to think about it now. Since he had come here, he could not give up halfway.

Luo Dan took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality. He knew that the purpose of his trip was very important and he could not retreat because of the guards' obstruction. So, he took a firm step and walked towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. His eyes were cold and his whole body exuded a kind of black aura, as if he was a demon god walking out of the abyss. When the guards saw Luo Dan's appearance, their pupils shrank violently, and they were obviously frightened by his momentum. They wanted to stop Luo Dan, but they did not dare to act rashly.

"Who are you? What are you doing in the City Lord's Mansion?" A guard summoned up his courage and asked loudly. Although his voice was trembling, he still tried his best to remain calm.

Luo Dan did not answer his question, but just glanced at him coldly, and then continued to walk forward. His steps were steady and powerful, as if every step was stepping on the hearts of the guards.

The guards were furious when they saw Luo Dan being so arrogant. They wanted to step forward to stop him, but they were suppressed by the pressure from Luo Dan and could not move. They could only watch Luo Dan walk into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, feeling helpless and angry.

After Luo Dan entered the City Lord's Mansion, he found that there were quite a few people inside. Some were standing, some were sitting, some were talking in low voices, and some were waiting silently. Their eyes revealed a kind of tension and expectation, as if they were waiting for something big to happen.

When Luo Dan appeared in front of them, their eyes were immediately drawn to him. They saw the black air swirling around Luo Dan, and his majestic aura, and they couldn't help but secretly speculate about his identity and purpose.

"Who is this person? Why have I never seen him before?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Yes, his aura is very strong, as if it is much higher than those of us of the same type." Another person answered.

Although they were all of the same type, their blood and lineage were lower than that of Luodan. The pressure emanating from Luodan was fatal to them, making them feel like crawling on the ground. They were filled with shock and awe, as if they had seen something incredible.

At this time, a man who seemed to be of an extraordinary status came up and took the initiative to say to Luo Dan: "Who are you? What brings you to the City Lord's Mansion? We are waiting for the arrival of two major forces, so I'm afraid it's not convenient to receive outsiders."

Luo Dan looked at him coldly and did not answer his question. He just said calmly: "I came to see the city lord to discuss something. As for the big force you are waiting for, it has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the direction of the city lord. Seeing Luo Dan so arrogant, those people couldn't help but secretly get angry. But they also knew that Luo Dan's strength was unfathomable and they couldn't easily provoke him. So, they could only watch Luo Dan leave, their hearts filled with helplessness and anger.

When Luo Dan arrived at the hall where the city lord was, he found that the city lord was sitting at a huge round table, talking in a low voice with several people who seemed to be of important status. Their expressions were solemn, as if they were discussing something important.

Luo Dan did not disturb them, but just stood aside quietly, waiting for their conversation to end. His eyes were cold and deep, as if he could see through everything. The black air emanating from his body filled the entire hall with a depressing and heavy atmosphere.

When those who were talking to the city lord saw Luo Dan coming, they couldn't help but secretly speculate about his identity and purpose. They knew that someone who could walk into the city lord's mansion so arrogantly and not be noticed by the city lord was definitely not an ordinary person.

Finally, the city lord noticed Luo Dan's presence. He looked up at Luo Dan and was secretly shocked. He had never seen such a powerful being before, as if he was a demon from another world.

He quickly adjusted his mentality, then stood up and went to Luo Dan. He bowed respectfully and said, "Who are you? What do you want to do here? If there is anything I can help you with, please feel free to ask."

Luo Dan glanced at him coldly, and then said: "I am Luo Dan, and I come from afar. The purpose of my visit is to discuss something with you. As for what it is, we will talk about it later. Now, I want to understand the situation here first."

Hearing this, the city lord couldn't help but secretly speculate on Luo Dan's identity and background. He knew that someone who could talk to him so arrogantly was definitely not an ordinary person. So, he replied respectfully: "I am waiting for the arrival of two major forces. They come from different places, but both have strong strength and background. I don't know what their purpose is, but I can be sure that they are definitely not here to cause trouble."

Luo Dan nodded secretly when he heard this. He knew that the arrival of these two major forces might be related to the purpose of his trip. So, he decided to first understand the specific situation of these two major forces before making any plans.

"Where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?" A guard dressed in gorgeous clothes asked with a puzzled look but not daring to speak rashly. His voice echoed in the empty front hall of the city lord's mansion, and it was particularly clear. At this time, the city lord was resting in the inner room, and they had quickly sent a message, waiting for the city lord to wake up and personally greet the uninvited guest.

Luo Dan stood in the middle of the hall, his face stern, like an inviolable iceberg. His eyes were deep, revealing a kind of indifference that was detached from the world, but it also made the people around him feel an invisible pressure. When the other guards and servants saw Luo Dan's appearance, their hearts tightened, mistakenly thinking that he was angry, and they quickly knelt on the ground and bowed. The whole front hall was suddenly filled with the sound of clothes rubbing and knees touching the ground.

Luo Dan was not unfamiliar with this action. He remembered that when he was in the monster territories of the young master Dapeng, those powerful monsters saluted him in this way. It was a kind of awe that came from the depths of their blood, and it was the instinctive submission of the monsters to the strong. Thinking of this, Luo Dan couldn't help but raise a faint arc at the corner of his mouth, but this smile did not reach his eyes.

"I just came from somewhere else," Luo Dan said slowly, his voice calm and deep, as if it could penetrate people's hearts, "that is, the ancient barrier. I finally found a trick and escaped from it. You should have heard the news about the ancient barrier shaking, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people around who were still in doubt suddenly changed. They looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and disbelief. Recently, the city lord did mention the abnormal vibrations in the barrier, but that was regarded as the natural fluctuations of ancient power. No one dared to imagine that someone could escape from the ancient barrier that was said to imprison countless powerful creatures. (End of this chapter)
