He was so forthright that he naturally distinguished between friends and others.
If someone else came here saying they were his friend and asked for his help, he wouldn’t pay any attention.
But the person in question was Yang Chen, a friend he recognized.
It’s easy to say the word “recognition,” but in reality, there aren’t many friends who can earn his recognition.
Yang Chen, who was already in the Spirit Martial Realm at a young age, not to mention his Dan Medical skills. In addition, he was of good character, so he had no reason not to befriend him.
Yang Chen put down the tea and, seeing Jin Cheng so straightforward, no longer pretended. In the time that followed, he recounted the difficulties he had encountered in the Great Wilderness without any omissions.
“Oh? The Horse-thief Gang, interesting, and those bandits are escapees from the former Guard Army of the outside world?” Jin Cheng thought it was interesting and showed a look of interest: “I’ve heard a bit about this matter. At that time, there were some guards in Liaocheng who committed crimes and finally escaped into the Great Wilderness. By the way, what is their martial arts strength
“It’s hard to say now, the Horse-thief Gang’s Head of the House should be at least at the Seventh Layer of the Spirit Martial Realm, and at most, the Eighth Layer.” Yang Chen speculated.
He had some idea of Feng Wuyang’s strength, which was probably already at the Sixth Level Peak of the Spirit Martial Realm, while the ancestors of the Murong Family and the Zhang Family were slightly weaker: the Murong Family’s ancestor should be at the Middle-stage of the Sixth Level, while Zhang Family’s ancestor might be at the Early Phase of the Sixth Level.
The three of them joined forces back then to barely fight against the Big Head and were both wounded, so the Big Head’s strength must be at least at the Seventh Layer, or even the Eighth Layer.
“Oh, the Eighth Layer of the Spirit Martial Realm, that’s not low. Even in Liaocheng, it’s not a top-notch master, but it’s still first-class. However, I’ll help you with this.” Jin Cheng laughed and said, “Brother Yang Chen, come with me!”
“Thank you, Brother Jin.” Yang Chen showed a grateful expression.
Jin Cheng waved his hand: “You call me Eldest Brother and then say ‘thank you’? I don’t like that. I, Jin Cheng, don’t have many friends, but with friends, I’ve never been polite.”
And so, Jin Cheng led Yang Chen to the Guard Army of the City Lord’s Mansion.
There were hundreds of guards at the very least, and Yang Chen took a deep breath. The martial arts strength of these guards was at the very least at the First Level of the Spirit Martial Realm, and some were even higher, so that Yang Chen could only distinguish them through Rainbow’s Divine Soul Power.
Did Jin Cheng bring him to this Guard Army because of…
Yang Chen thought of a possibility in his heart, and the next moment, Jin Cheng laughed out loud: “These guards practice here every day. This is a special environment that our City Lord’s Mansion provides. Brother Yang Chen, look around and see if the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi in this area is much richer than in the outside world?”
Yang Chen looked around, and the place where the guards were located was inside an inconspicuous big mountain.
The big mountain was indeed rich in Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.
“There’s no reason for it to be so dense…Oh, you said it’s a Gathering Spirit
Array.” Yang Chen and Rainbow communicated through Sound Transmission.
Through the mermaid girl’s description, he finally realized that the big mountain was surrounded by a Gathering Spirit Array.
This Gathering Spirit Array was a method of gathering Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, but it would consume a lot of Spirit Stones.
However, for the City Lord’s Mansion, as long as they could cultivate powerful martial artists in the Spirit Martial Realm, what did it matter if they consumed some Spirit Stones?
“Young Master!”
“Young Master!”
At this moment, the guards who were practicing also saw Jin Cheng and quickly stood up and greeted him.
He Liancheng was also among them. Seeing Yang Chen, he said, “Young Master, Young Master Chen.”
Jin Cheng, the amiable City Lord, smiled: “Brother Yang Chen is short of
manpower, isn’t he? I’ll let you choose a hundred of these guards to send at your disposal. As for who to choose, there are no limits, it’s up to your mood, Brother Yang Chen!”
Hearing this, even though Yang Chen had some expectations, he still took a deep breath.
Jin Cheng was really not just talking.
He treated his friends with genuine sincerity.
Three hundred guards, many of whom served to protect the City Lord’s
Mansion, and Jin Cheng simply said you could borrow a hundred people at will! Not to mention the strength of these guards, with just a hundred of them, he could use them to fight the entire Great Wild Hundred Clans!
No, not just fighting, even crushing them wouldn’t be a problem.
Yang Chen held his hands behind his back: “City Lord Jin, a hundred people are too many. I only need ten. However, when it comes to selection, I might be a bit picky, so don’t mind, City Lord Jin.”
“Don’t worry, why would I mind!”
Yang Chen listened and finally let go completely.
He had a keen eye, looking at the Guard Commander He Liancheng, and almost without hesitation, said: “Senior He, I wonder if you would be willing to accompany this junior for a while?”
“Since the Young Master has nodded, He is always ready to obey Young Master
Chen’s orders!” He Liancheng’s mouth raised a smile, secretly saying Yang Chen has a good eye, knowing to choose himself first. He was the strongest among these guards, naturally called Commander.
Jin Cheng also laughed: “Brother Yang Chen, you really know how to pick people, you already took away my Guard Commander who usually protects my safety. But that’s fine, since I promised you, I will not change my mind. But I’m curious, do you know Uncle He’s martial arts strength?”
“I’m afraid, it must be at the Peak of the Spirit Martial Realm.” Yang Chen said.
“Good eye!” Jin Cheng was surprised.
How could Yang Chen, who was only at the First Level of the Spirit Martial Realm, see He Liancheng’s martial arts strength so quickly? It seems, he still underestimated Yang Chen.
The reason why Yang Chen could clearly understand He Liancheng’s martial arts strength was, of course, because of Rainbow. In fact, when Rainbow told him, he was also slightly surprised. At the peak of the Spirit Martial Realm, those gang leaders of the Horse-thief Gang were simply nothing in front of He Liancheng.
They were not in the same league at all.
However, to be on the safe side, Yang Chen naturally couldn’t just bring He Liancheng alone. After all, the vast Great Wilderness was too big for one person to cover.
He picked another nine people in succession.
“You, you, and you!” Yang Chen pointed his finger and selected nine guards.
This made Jin Cheng even more astonished: “Brother Yang Chen, your eyes are really sharp, picking nine consecutive Seventh Layer guards. You did it on purpose, didn’t you? The most powerful group of guards I have are all selected by you, haha!”
“Brother Jin won’t mind, will you?” Yang Chen smiled.
“Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?” Jin Cheng waved his hand:
“These ten people, I’ll lend them to you. Just don’t keep them forever, He Liancheng, and you nine others, have you heard? From now on, obey my brother Yang Chen’s orders. After returning, I will reward you generously.. Aren’t you just sitting around waiting for something to do? Well, here it
comes!”
