At this moment, Chen Hui and many of his soldiers were stunned by the sight before them. The woman standing in the middle of the road, blocking their path, was a graceful and beautiful woman.
She was truly beautiful, so beautiful that just one glance made their hearts race. Her fair skin, her sweet face, her imposing figure - she was the perfect object of all men's desires.
However, although this woman was quite beautiful, the aura she exuded was not simple. Especially when she dared to stand alone in front of this army of a thousand men, it was enough to show her courage and the fact that she was not to be trifled with.
"Miss, I don't know your name. Why are you waiting for us here? Is there something you need?"
Chen Hui was a city lord, and his seasoned experience made him feel that this beautiful woman was probably not friendly. So he simply stopped to ask.
"My name is Su Ruo. I am an inner door elder of the Blue Dragon Sect. I am waiting for City Lord Chen here. I do have something that I hope City Lord Chen can help with."
Su Ruo smiled charmingly.
"I didn't expect you to be so young and already be an elder of the Blue Dragon Sect. I really admire you. What do you want to tell me?"
Chen Hui responded with a smile, "Miss, your words are incorrect. Since this area is within my jurisdiction, then the people in this area should be under my control, and the things in this area should also be under my control."
"Let's not talk about the iron ore mine for now. It's a huge fortune. I can't just give it away. Even if we don't know each other, there's no need to show any courtesy to me because this is my city's business. Not to mention you, even if you are the leader of the Blue Dragon Sect, you have no right to interfere."
"City Lord Chen has such a big attitude. You say that the Blue Dragon Sect has no right to interfere in my Purple Gold City, but I, Su Ruo, today, just want to interfere once. I really want to see who among you can pass through this boundary without my permission and go through here."
Suddenly, Su Ruo extended her finger and pointed forward at the road. An intangible energy burst out, and a deep hole was created in the road ahead.
"Boom"
Then Su Ruo waved her arm, and dust rose as a deep groove appeared on the road, splitting the main road.
"Such an arrogant girl. I want to see how you stop us."
Seeing Su Ruo's actions, the soldiers of Purple Gold City were extremely furious. They controlled their horses and released layers of elemental energy, charging towards Su Ruo with a fierce momentum.
"Rumble rumble rumble"
The horse galloped forward, the elemental energy swirling around. Under the trampling of the iron hooves and the elemental energy, the ground made a deafening roar and began to tremble violently. The force was truly terrifying.
However, for the actions of the soldiers of Purple Gold City, Su Ruo remained calm, just smiling at everything, until the army was about to step into the boundary, Su Ruo's expression slightly changed.
Her white long dress fluttered wildly. Within her weak body, a layer of gas that could be seen by the naked eye emerged.
The gas was extremely powerful. It swept past, and the soldiers of the elemental realm were all thrown off their horses and blown back.
"Elemental Realm?"
At this moment, Chen Hui's eyes lit up. Because he could already sense that the aura she was emitting now was not elemental energy but astral energy. This young beautiful woman before him was actually a powerful Astral Realm warrior. The Xuanwu Realm is just one level away from him, but the power difference is immense. If Su Ruo's strength is strong enough, even if the entire thousand-person army of them all attacks together, they may not be able to stand against Su Ruo. This is the power of the Xuanwu Realm.
Once upon a time, there was a peak-level Xuanwu Realm strongman who alone destroyed a second-class sect. You know, that second-class sect not only had hundreds of disciples but also had Xuanwu Realm strongmen in charge. However, in front of that person, they were still no match.
So, when Chen Hui discovered that Su Ruo was actually a Xuanwu Realm master, the calm and composed expression on his face finally showed a trace of concern. He solemnly said:
"Unexpectedly, Miss Su Ruo is so powerful. Xuanwu Realm strongmen can indeed stop us."
"However, as the head of the sect, you should know the rules of the sect. You obstructing me like this, don't you fear causing trouble for the Blue Dragon Sect in the future?"
"Trouble? Do you really not respect the Blue Dragon Sect, or don't you respect me? Although in the Jiuzhou Continent, there is the rule that sects cannot interfere in cities, this does not mean that my Blue Dragon Sect is afraid of you."
"Previously, I politely asked you to help, but you not only didn't know how to act properly, but even dared to threaten me with your status."
"Well, fine. Now I've changed my mind. I'm not asking you to help anymore, but ordering you to do things for me." Su Ruo walked slowly and voluntarily crossed the boundary and walked towards Chen Hui.
"What do you want to do? If you dare to do anything detrimental to me, it will cause great trouble for the Blue Dragon Sect. You can't bear the responsibility for this!" At this moment, Chen Hui was completely panicked. Facing a Xuanwu Realm strongman, he lost his confidence.
"Can you really bear the responsibility for saying such things to me?" Su Ruo's smile became even colder.
"You... What do you mean?"
And seeing Su Ruo's tough demeanor, Chen Hui was controlling the warhorse beneath him and constantly retreating. He subconsciously thought of a dangerous situation, that the beautiful woman in front was definitely not as simple as it seemed. Otherwise, he would not have said such words.
"I mean, to discuss identity and status with me, you are still far from worthy."
Su Ruo turned her wrist and suddenly appeared a token. After seeing this token, Chen Hui and the other generals behind him all had their faces change, an indescribable fear rising on their faces.
"Whisper" Suddenly, Chen Hui jumped off the warhorse and "plopped" landed on Su Ruo's feet, with an extremely frightened voice pleading:
"Your servant doesn't know the second young lady's presence here. I have offended you before. Please forgive my mistake, second young lady."
And at this moment, both the soldiers on the warhorse and those behind them all knelt down, starting to apologize and beg of Su Ruo.
Because Su Rou's token also came from a city, and this city was a first-class city. Moreover, Su Rou's identity was the second daughter of the Lord of Zhuque City.
But this is not the key point. The key point is that this Purple Gold City is exactly managed by Zhuque City, and Su Rou is precisely the direct superior of Chen Hui.
