Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 208 Trial
“Shhhhh!”

The charging horse suddenly stopped, and its inertia caused a commotion in the room behind.

"Azi, go take a look."

Inside the side room, Chen Yao frowned and said to Zi Ji.

Ziji nodded, stood up and looked outside.

After a moment, Ziji replied.

"Master, there are guards stationed at the city gate."

"Just give me some money."

Chen Yao was not surprised and casually threw a purse to Zi Ji.

Ziji nodded and was about to take it, but Yin beside her suddenly thought of something and spoke out.

"It's useless. I forgot to tell you that these are not guards from Tiandou City, but from the Spirit Hall. Some time ago, the Spirit Hall took over the defense of Tiandou City and strictly checked people entering and leaving the city. They must be looking for someone."

As she spoke, Ah Yin looked at Chen Yao meaningfully.

Chen Yao was stunned at first when he heard this, then the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"This Bibi Dong is just a waste. As a country, it was taken over by others. Why is it called Tiandou City? It should be called Wuhun Branch City directly."

Chen Yao's voice was full of contempt for Tiandou City's cowardice, but he still subconsciously took out the mask from his soul guide.

Although he is no longer afraid of Bibi Dong, he plans to disguise himself in the spirit of "less trouble is worse than more".

But Yin still shook his head.

"The Spirit Hall has made up their mind this time. They won't conduct random inspections. Even if you disguise your appearance, it will be useless. They will also force you to inspect your spirit and spirit rings. There is no way to avoid it."

After hearing Ah Yin's words, although Chen Yao was speechless, his expression was still calm. However, Tang Yuehua and others were all shocked and couldn't believe it.

"How is it possible! Would Tiandou City actually agree to such an outrageous request from the Spirit Hall? Isn't the emperor afraid that Tiandou City will become an empty city?"

Gu Yuena and other soul beasts might not realize anything, but Tang Yuehua, Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing, who all came from extraordinary backgrounds, could see the problem immediately.

Such harsh conditions and such tough inspections will definitely have a huge impact on Tiandou City.
To put it simply, travel is inconvenient, the flow of people decreases, trade becomes difficult, and financial resources drop sharply.

To put it in a broader sense, from ordinary people to princes and nobles, trust in the country has dropped sharply, affecting the country's destiny.

They really couldn't imagine that the Tiandou Empire was so cowardly as to agree to such humiliating conditions from the Spirit Hall!

"Forget it. Although it's outrageous, it seems to be expected. This is how the Tiandou Empire is."

Chen Yao shook his head and clicked his tongue twice, with a hint of sarcasm.

Today, Douluo Continent is divided into four major forces, two palaces and two countries, not counting those scattered sects.

They are Spirit Hall, Demon Dragon Hall, Heaven Dou Empire, and Star Luo Empire.

Among these forces, the Tiandou Empire is not as strong in martial virtue as the Xingluo Empire. It emphasizes propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame in everything. It may have some ways to govern the country and maintain peace, but it is not tough towards the outside world.

In addition, the royal family of Tiandou Empire inherited the not-so-outstanding Swan Martial Spirit.

Although it looks good, it has no potential, let alone combat power.

Even because of some of the habits that come with the Swan Martial Spirit, the people in power in this empire tend to be gentle in character.

This may be a good thing for ordinary people, but as the royal family of the empire, being indecisive when facing various important decisions can be very fatal.

However, the royal family was too weak to suppress another party, so they could only seek out powerful outsiders to serve them. But after all, they were outsiders, and they were suspicious of each other, which led to the increasing depletion of national strength.

The emperor of the Xingluo Empire in the west of the continent was an ambitious man who was bent on expanding territory and had always been eyeing the Tiandou Empire.

Amid such internal and external troubles, the Tiandou Empire did not dare to resist the Spirit Hall's tough attitude of fighting at the slightest disagreement, and agreed to the humiliating conditions.

"Brother Chen Yao, do we still have to go in like this?"

Qian Renxue said at this moment, but there was some sadness in her voice.

The reason was probably that she had used her strategy and skills to quietly replace the crown prince with a cat and took control of the politics of the Tiandou Empire.

Even though she was later taken away by Chen Yao and all her efforts were wasted, she was always proud of the abilities she had demonstrated before.

But the weak attitude of the Tiandou Empire now, and its vulnerability to the Spirit Hall, made her feel that her previous achievements were so insignificant.

Bibi Dong had no intention of controlling the Tiandou Empire through her, she just wanted to send her away and let her play house!

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue suddenly felt extremely aggrieved. If she had not maintained her rationality and knew her own weight, she really wanted to rush back to the Spirit Hall, beat Bibi Dong up, then tie her up and put her on the bedside, making her watch herself and Chen Yao having fun in front of her, but being unable to do anything!

At this time, Chen Yao also noticed that something was wrong with Qian Renxue, but as he said, he might have some skills in picking up girls, but he was not a god. Women's hearts were as unpredictable as the sea, so how could he know what Qian Renxue was up to? He was too lazy to pay attention and just replied lightly.

"No need. I was thinking of saving some trouble, but it looks like Bibi Dong won't stop until she finds me. If I keep hiding, I won't have a peaceful life in the future. I might as well just meet her."

Chen Yao originally wanted to save trouble, but since Bibi Dong had done this, Chen Yao simply didn't bother to cover it up. Anyway, with his current strength, and the fact that Gu Yuena had recovered from her injuries and was as powerful as a first-level god, he could easily overturn the Spirit Hall. Naturally, he had no reason to be afraid anymore.

It just so happened that in his plan, the Spirit Hall was also an extremely important part. He also wanted to use the huge energy of the Spirit Hall to devour the entire world. He simply took this opportunity to sort out the grievances and retribution between him and Bibi Dong. As he spoke, a faint light flashed in Chen Yao's eyes, his face became stern, and he slowly stood up.

Jumping off the carriage, the bright golden light from the sun shone on that flawless face, with a dreamy beauty, like a god.

The bustling pedestrians around subconsciously stopped when they saw this scene. They were shocked by the beauty before them and held their breath. There was silence all around. Time seemed to stand still at this moment and turned gray and white. Chen Yao, who was riding the huge carriage, became the center of all things.

Seeing the appearance of the people around him, Chen Yao frowned, not quite understanding what was going on with these people. Did he scare them by releasing his martial spirit and spirit rings?
He raised his hand somewhat unconfidently, but after finding that there was no soul power lingering around, Chen Yao was too lazy to care and walked slowly towards the checkpoint set up by the guards at the city gate in front of him.

Chen Yao's action seemed to break the still picture, and the people around him came to their senses and realized that they were not in a deep dream at this moment. The handsome man who looked like a god in front of them was real!
Most of those who can appear here are residents of the Tiandou Empire.

The Tiandou Empire is not like the Xingluo Empire, which believes in strength and fists.

The literary style is prevalent in the country, and everyone from the common people to the nobles likes to pretend to be cultured and pay attention to interests. From the original trajectory, we can get a glimpse of this from the popularity of Tang Yuehua's aristocratic training center.

While they are pursuing culture, their requirements for appearance are gradually increasing. After all, we are all civilized people, but if you are so ugly that it makes people feel uncomfortable, it is indeed a bit impolite!
As time goes by, this concept has become more and more deeply rooted in people's minds, and even now it has become extremely harsh.

Here, even if you have no talent or virtue, but if you are good-looking, you will be sought after. But if you are born ugly, even if you are full of knowledge, you will not be welcomed by others.

Although this view does not apply to powerful soul masters, with such a huge base concept, the soul masters in Tiandou City all pay great attention to their appearance.

And now the appearance of Chen Yao has broken the people here's concept of beauty. The pedestrians around him are starting to get a little agitated, and even many girls are seeing stars and are ready to rush forward regardless of their reservedness.

And Chen Yao felt those extremely hot gazes focused on his face, and he seemed to understand something in his heart.

Turning his head, he looked at the pedestrians around him who seemed to have mutated. The corners of his mouth twitched suddenly and he began to murmur in his heart.

"Damn it, why do I feel like I've become a celebrity? Am I really that handsome? Nothing like this happened when I was in Wuhun City before!"

Although Chen Yao is lustful and greedy, he does not like the feeling of being in the limelight and being sought after. Perhaps most people cannot resist that, but Chen Yao feels the murderous gazes around him and finds it difficult to get used to it. He still prefers the resentful and unwilling look of his enemies before their death.

Chen Yao was not far from the checkpoint at the city gate, just a few steps away. However, before Chen Yao had even finished walking this short distance, the people around him seemed to have completely mutated, turning into zombies with bloodshot eyes and hideous faces, rushing towards Chen Yao with a howl.

Those who know are considered brainless fans, and those who don’t think they are zombies that come to eat your brain!
When Chen Yao saw the few people rushing towards him, his eyes turned cold. He basically never attacked civilians with low soul power, but he regarded this group of people as trouble, so he would not show mercy.

"Bang! Bang!"

Chen Yao flicked his sleeves and several sonic booms were heard. Several figures vomited blood, flew backwards, and fell heavily to the ground, emitting painful whimpers.

Most of them were beautiful young women. Although Chen Yao felt offended, he did not hit them hard. He only caused them to suffer minor injuries as a price for his recklessness.

But the few men who were mixed in with them, wearing yellow and green clothes, seductive looks, and heavy makeup were a bit too much. No one knew what they were thinking. They rushed up with these women, which made Chen Yao feel sick.

There was no mercy at all when he attacked, causing their heads to explode and red and white splatter all over. This could be considered as Chen Yao's only remaining sense of morality at work, wanting to clean up some of the filth in the world.

Someone was killed and the atmosphere in the field suddenly changed and there was an uproar.

The guards at the city gate also reacted immediately. They rushed over with spears in hand and began to maintain order and stabilize the restless crowd.

There were also many guards who pointed their spears at Chen Yao, with vigilance on their faces and complicated expressions in their eyes. They were shocked by Chen Yao's appearance, and terrified by his terrifying soul power and ruthless methods, which actually took people's lives without a word!

"Who are you? How dare you commit a crime at the city gate?!"

One of the guards looked at Chen Yao's dark eyes which were filled with coldness, sweat broke out in his body, and he swallowed his saliva and spoke sternly.

Before Chen Yao could say anything, a sharp voice erupted from the crowd of people being controlled nearby.

"Miss! You are so brave! How dare you hit our young lady!"

Obviously, among those who were injured by Chen Yao just now, there were many young ladies from noble families.

"Yeah! How can you hit someone randomly? That's so immoral!"

"I didn't expect this person to have a nice appearance but a heart as vicious as a snake!"

"That's right! It's such a waste! My poor wife is still vomiting blood! Honey! Don't let anything happen to you!"

"What's wrong with this Spirit Hall guard? Someone's dead, why don't they quickly arrest him? What are they standing there for? Are they condoning him to continue committing murders?"

The crowd began to talk. Among them, there were those who were jealous of Chen Yao's looks, and there were also those who were afraid of Chen Yao's strength. However, they relied on the fact that they were in the crowd and were fearless, and their words were sharp. When the people around saw that Chen Yao, who was previously popular, had become the target of public criticism, they immediately followed the crowd and started pointing fingers.

For a moment, Chen Yao became the center of the vortex. In the eyes of many people, that tall figure was like a small boat in the storm, swaying and about to collapse.

In the carriage behind, Qian Renxue and others were furious when they saw Chen Yao was in such a situation, and they couldn't help but want to rush down.

Ah Yin and Tang Yuehua looked weird at first, then sneered.

"Don't worry about it. Do you really think A Yao is a good man?"

After hearing Tang Yuehua's words, Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing, who were acting impulsively, suddenly came back to their senses.

Yes, although those people outside are arrogant, what good is Chen Yao?

It can be said that morality has declined and lawlessness has become prevalent!

Compared to these people, although they have no brute force, they have sharp tongues and want to use words as knives to kill people invisibly.

Can.
Chen Yao, he really has a knife! And it's the kind that can destroy the world with one strike!
For a moment, they looked at those people who were making a fuss, their faces full of pity. Someone might be in trouble!
While Ah Yin and the others were talking, the noise from outside was getting louder and louder. Passers-by who came later all stopped to watch. The residents in the city were also alarmed, and countless people came out to watch. In a moment, there was a huge crowd of people, and Chen Yao, who was at the center of everyone, seemed like a criminal who was about to be tried!
Although he had no expression on his face at the moment, in everyone's eyes, Chen Yao was only strong on the surface, and he must be extremely fragile inside, right?
