Chapter 15: the Ling clan

Tian introduces himself in a gentlemanly pose and a smile on his face.

The ladies were surprised to see a devil who just finishes torturing his enemies become a perfect gentleman.

"My name is Ling Yi and I'm from the Ling clan, I'm really grateful for your help so if you don't mind I will like to invite you over to my Ling clan as a way to show my gratitude."

The Princess took a step forward before introducing herself in a respectful manner.

"Young Miss, it appears that you have truly misinterpreted the circumstances. I didn't kill this idiot because of you; their demise is just the beginning as I will soon wipe out both their clan and the clan of the Naga race."

The ladies were surprised before looking at the young man in front of them like they are looking at an idiot who doesn't know how high heaven is.

"Young master you must be joking right?"

The princess asked.

"Why will I joke with such a proclamation?"

"Young master, You don't seem to realize the implications of what you say; if the Shui and Weng clan heard what you said, you will undoubtedly be in danger right now."

"Huh... What more trouble can they bring after trying to take my life but failed"

"snort... it's time for retribution."

When the princess realizes how ignorant the man in front of him was, she shakes her head in sympathy, but she can tell he is serious.

"By the way young miss, I need you to tell me the location of the Shui and Weng clan and also I will appreciate any sort of information about them".

The ladies' surprise grows as they learn that Tian knew nothing about each clan before making the claim that he will destroy them.

The princess looks at him with interest.

*clear throat*

"Young master, why don't you accompany me back to the clan where I will present you to my father? After that, you may ask him any questions you need to, and I'm confident he won't mind since he did not like the Shui and Weng clan."

"I'll really appreciate that because I'm in desperate need of a place to rest and freshen up, as you can see I stink a lot."

The ladies giggle at his sarcasm before they started walking in the direction of their clan.

While they are walking the princess whispers to her servant.

"Do you all also feel the bloodline attraction from him?"

They all look into the young miss eye before nodding their heads.

"How puzzling I felt a strong bloodline connection to him as if my superior was standing right in front of me, but he doesn't appear totally like an elf, even though he has some elf-like traits; perhaps father will know better when he sees him."

Tian noticed their odd behavior because he was walking behind them, but he smiled when he guessed what they were thinking. He has read extensively about bloodlines and is aware of the advantages of having a strong and high bloodline. He also knows that there are various branches of elves, and the dark elves are known for being brutal to their foes while also possessing a pure heart.

They walk for about an hour before they see a large city in front of them. There is a city wall with a large gate in the middle that serves as the city's entrance, and on top of the city wall, there are many dark elves with bows in their hands, some of whom are in front of the city gate inspecting anyone who wishes to enter the city.

Tian was stunned after seeing this city, and he couldn't help but wonder why everything in this world is always enormous. The girls saw how dumbstruck the young man following them has become, and they couldn't help but think the same thing. *rural bumpkin*

Before taking them to the entrance, the young miss shakes her head. And as soon as the guard spotted the princess, they cleared the way for her, and once the gate was open, the princess and Tian entered the city. Tian was now even more stunned when he realized how gorgeous the city's inside was.

Tian noticed his embarrassment before taking a deep breath and looking around the city with curiosity; the princess didn't mind the brief pause in fact she was explaining how things worked in the city to Tian.

Tian notices humans and various demonic animals roaming throughout the street and going about their business, there were various merchants on the City Road advertising their market. Everyone was minding their own business, and everything appeared to be in order.

"You must be wondering how humans, demons and elves are able to live together peacefully in one city right?"

Tian nodded his head, cause of course he was curious how they manage to achieve this feat, humans are cunning and ambitious in nature while demonic beasts are violent in nature even in their human form.

"Sigh... This entire world serves as a training ground for divine realm inhabitants, although it was once a planet of the mortal realm that a divine realm expert refine to serve as a training ground for his people."

Tian was startled once more when he heard this astounding news: an expert refining an entire planet. What realm does a person require to achieve such a feat?

The young miss frowned upon seeing the surprised look on Tian's face.

Tian notices the confusion before he quickly clarifies himself.

"Hem" "hem"

"Don't misunderstand me, young miss. I might actually come from the outside world, but I have no knowledge of a world that is being turn into a training ground; in fact, I was brought here against my will. I do not see you people as training dummies."

Before she begins walking forward, the young miss nods her head and smiles, Tian follows behind while still looking around.

"As I said, once this world turns into a training ground, everyone becomes wary of one another, and there is a lot of killing everywhere. Different young men with devil energy then appear out of nowhere and declare war on everyone in the world. We are able to kill some people but have to pay a heavy price for doing so, while other people are simply too strong for us."

"They treat our people like animals, killing countless people and wiping out entire tribes in the process. They use us as a starting point for power. It wasn't until one day that a human expert managed to rally everyone to face this outsider every time they appeared after that peace was established for many years."

"After many years of peace, everyone began to separate on their own, and then desire for riches and ambition to be powerful overtook everyone, resulting in the world you see today."

"But this city was built by my grandfather, and he welcomes anyone to visit as long as they obey the laws. In brief, this is a center city built by elves to demonstrate how strong we once were as a group."

Tian finds the story to be very intriguing, and as the princess taps him on the shoulder to wake him up, he realizes that he is now in front of a different gate, which is golden in color and smaller than the first one. The guards at this gate are also stronger than those at the first; they are saint realm experts, as opposed to the earlier guards who were nascent soul experts.

The guards open the gate for the princess with the utmost reverence and respect, but they do not bother Tian because they know he is with the princess. Behind the gate was another, larger city; everyone there was dressed expensively, and some were riding in carriages drawn by beasts; they were all nobles. Tian was numb from all the surprises he had experienced today, so he chose to simply walk with the princess.

The palace stood out among all the buildings in the city,it was made of a dark silver ore and gave off a ruler aura. As they entered the palace, Tian noticed different dark elves moving around in various outfits that easily revealed their professions in the palace; some were maids, some were royal guards on patrol, some were ministers, and so on, in fact, Tian found the palace too big than the Palace he watches in the Chinese movie on Earth.

"Yu'er.".. The princess called for the maid beside her before turning to face Tian.

"Please take young Master Tian to a prepared guest room and make sure you serve him well, I will go talk to my father first."

"Yes young miss.."

Tian simply follows the maid's instructions as she leads him away. He is now free of anxieties and his only thoughts are to take a hot spring bath and eat something tasty because he is fucking starving; meeting the young miss father can be completed later.
