You want me to kneel?

Lin Yu frowned.

Since becoming the Human Emperor, no one has ever dared to speak to him like that.

This young man truly doesn't know his own limitations.

"Are you mute? Our Young Master Qi is asking you why you're not kneeling!!"

A thunderous sound came from behind.

This is Qi Rui's lackey, who also seems to come from a prominent family, exuding an air of superiority.

"court death!"

drive!

Seeing that Lin Yu still didn't speak, the lackey spurred his horse forward, and the sharp hooves stomped hard on Lin Yu's face.

Lin Yu frowned, just about to make a move.

At this moment, an old man rushed forward, raised his scepter, and silently recited a spell.

Wow!

A burst of golden light shone forth, and the horse, as if startled, immediately went out of control, rearing up on the spot!

The lackey lost his balance and fell off the horse, wincing in pain.

Qi Rui's expression hardened. "Alien race, you're practically courting death!"

He slapped the mammoth's head hard.

The giant elephant raised its head and let out a deafening roar, then raised its front hooves high and stomped down on the elder of the elves.

Bang!

This giant elephant is no ordinary beast; it possesses superhuman strength, and a single stomp of its foot would weigh at least tens of thousands of tons.

In a single strike, the elven elder's protective barrier was completely shattered. Faced with a pair of enormous hooves, his face instantly turned pale.

"Elder!"

The elves also gasped in surprise.

However, at this critical moment, Lin Yu made his move. With a slight lift of his hand, the giant elephant's hoof could no longer advance even an inch.

Qi Rui looked astonished, finding it unbelievable.

You should know that his spirit beast, according to the cultivation level of a martial artist, should be at least at the level of a Martial Saint, yet this kid easily blocked it with a simple wave of his hand.

But what surprised him even more was yet to come.

Lin Yu raised his hand again, and the giant elephant, along with him, slowly floated up, as if suspended in mid-air, spinning continuously.

Everyone was stunned.

Qi Rui's friends were also astonished and didn't know what to say.

"Young friend, you certainly have impressive skills. However, it's rather unbecoming of a master to argue with a junior like this."

Just then, a cold voice rang out.

Everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged man in fine clothes leading several other elderly and middle-aged people slowly approaching from a distance.

"Lord City Lord!"

Everyone looked shocked.

City Lord Xu Huailie!

He is also the number one expert in the entire Bingdong City!

It is said that Xu Huailie was not originally a native of Bingdong City, but came from China.

Hundreds of years ago, when Xu Huailie arrived in Bingdong City, he witnessed a rebellion by foreign tribes. With his absolute strength, he united with the five major families to suppress the rebellion, thus achieving great merit.

From then on, the five major families, along with other prominent families in the city, jointly recognized Xu Huailie as the city lord.

Xu Huailie himself is very wary and repulsed by foreign races. Now that this young man has brought a foreign race into the city, I'm afraid the city lord will not let it go easily.

Lin Yu slowly withdrew his hand, and Qi Rui fell from mid-air. The giant elephant knelt on its front knees and bowed to Xu Huailie. Qi Rui also slid down and clasped his hands in a fist and said to Xu Huailie, "Lord City Lord, please understand that this brat opened the city gate without permission and let the alien race in, breaking the rules of our Bingdong City. Please order him to be executed immediately, as well as these treacherous alien races!"

These words immediately stirred up unrest among the elves, who stared at Xu Huailie with wary expressions.

Xu Huailie smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "I will make my own decision on this matter!"

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yu and asked, "Young man, are you from China?"

Given Lin Yu's age and cultivation level, if he were a native, he would have already become famous in the city, so Xu Huailie was certain that Lin Yu was from China.

“Exactly!” Lin Yu replied.

"Ancient martial arts, or divine blood?" Xu Huailie continued to ask.

Lin Yu was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected this person to know so much.

“Don’t be surprised, I also came from China hundreds of years ago!” Xu Huailie said with a smile.

Lin Yu nodded and said, "I guess I'm half a divine bloodline!"

Because he has half the blood of the Ao family, he considers himself to be half divine blood.

Xu Huailie was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded, as if he had been relieved a lot.

"Divine blood is the true lineage of China, a descendant of the human emperor. No wonder you are so kind-hearted!"

He sighed and continued, "But young man, you must know that those who are not of our race are sure to have different hearts. Bringing these foreign races into the city is a tremendous threat to our China! This Bingdong City was originally built to defend against foreign races. If you let foreigners in so casually, it could very well bring about the annihilation of China!"

Lin Yu said, "If we don't let them in, won't we be doomed?"

"Forehead……"

Xu Huailie was stunned, not knowing what Lin Yu meant.

Lin Yu glanced at Xu Huailie and the other several elegantly dressed elders, and said indifferently, "Internal strife among humans is nothing more than a struggle for resources and driven by self-interest. Although I have only been here for a few days, I know the situation in Bingdong City very well. The City Lord's Mansion, including the five major families, monopolizes all resources, while the common people are living in misery, oppressed and exploited, with their living space shrinking. As far as I know, there have been no fewer than a hundred rebellions and uprisings in the city in the past hundred years, all of which you have suppressed with force! You call this peace?"

Xu Huailie, along with the members of the five major families, blushed deeply.

"Young man, what do you know? We monopolize resources to avoid civil war! Besides, most of the people in this city are happy!"
