Chapter 316 - 310: Duowen Heaven, the City Guardian
"Smack!"
Liuyu Heaven swung his arm in a wide arc, landing a slap on the face of the Yaksha leader, making him fall onto the ground.
"Look at yourself, what’s the matter? You’re even longing for Lady Ming King now?"
The accusation by Liuyu Heaven was perfect.
The Yaksha leader just mentioned Lady Ming King, but to him, it became longing for Lady Ming King.
"I wouldn’t dare!"
"I wouldn’t dare!" The Yaksha leader fell to his knees, repeatedly begging for mercy.
Lin Yuan said coldly: "Guard the city well, don’t let this happen again!"
After saying that, Lin Yuan led Liuyu Heaven towards the city.
The construction of the city was remarkably intact, with houses lining the streets, and some shops still open for business.
However, the inhabitants there were all Yakshas, as if it were a nation of Yakshas.
Lin Yuan and his team did not see any of the original residents of the City of Sin.
Perhaps due to frequent visits, Unmoving Ming King was quite well-known in the City of Sin, and most Yakshas in the city recognized him.
Many Yakshas were curious, usually Unmoving Ming King visited every hundred years, yet it had only been thirty years since the last visit.
However, any Yaksha that dared to ask was slapped by Liuyu Heaven, driven to begging.
Lin Yuan was walking along the street with Liuyu Heaven when suddenly a voice came from behind.
"Today, I’ve received multiple complaints saying someone has knocked unconscious many people in the streets, turns out it was you, Liuyu Heaven!"
"Back then, Liuyu Heaven, who always got slapped, can now slap others!"
Upon hearing this, Liuyu Heaven turned like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, looking over his shoulder.
Dare to expose his past, Liuyu Heaven swore to tear the face off the person behind.
Yet, with anger overcoming him, upon seeing who it was, his fury dissipated halfway.
There stood a green-faced man, muscular, holding a Treasure Umbrella.
"Duowen Heaven, why are you here?" Liuyu Heaven asked in surprise.
In the World Honored One Sect, there are five Dharma Guardian Deities and thirty-six little Dharma Guardian Deities.
The Duowen Heaven standing before them and Liuyu Heaven are both among the thirty-six little Dharma Guardian Deities.
However, there are distinctions among the thirty-six little Dharma Guardian Deities.
They are divided into upper twelve, middle twelve, and lower twelve.
Duowen Heaven belongs to the upper twelve, meaning he’s an old-school Dharma Guardian Deity.
Liuyu Heaven belongs to the lower twelve, as a newly promoted Dharma Guardian Deity.
There is a significant gap between the two.
With the passing of the five Dharma Guardian Deities, it’s likely old guardians like Duowen Heaven will become new Dharma Guardian Deities.
Moreover, Duowen Heaven is not Tier Five like Liuyu Heaven.
He is Tier Four, though in the early stage, still a solid Tier Four.
"My brothers and I take turns guarding the City of Sin for the World Honored One. I surely have to be here."
"But what are you doing here, Liuyu Heaven, and hitting my people!" Duowen Heaven said, somewhat disgruntled.
If not for Liuyu Heaven standing beside Unmoving Ming King and unsure of their relationship, he would have slapped Liuyu Heaven himself.
Back in the day, he wasn’t shy in slapping Liuyu Heaven himself; he wondered if it still felt the same.
City of Sin is isolated from the outside world, and Duowen Heaven seems to have defended this place for years, unaware of external affairs.
The five Dharma Guardian Deities were slain recently by Bai Qi, so Duowen Heaven is clearly unaware of the news of Unmoving Ming King’s death.
"I accompany Lord Ming King for an inspection!" Liuyu Heaven, somewhat psychologically overshadowed by Duowen Heaven, hid behind Lin Yuan.
Duowen Heaven treated Liuyu Heaven and Unmoving Ming King with two completely different attitudes.
Being the guard of the City of Sin, he naturally knows its affairs.
Unmoving Ming King, as the son-in-law of the World Honored One, garners his utmost respect.
"Lord Ming King, you’re here!"
"It’s just been thirty years since last time, and we were unprepared for your visit."
"Forgive any noncompliance, and please bear with us, Lord Ming King!" Duowen Heaven said, respectfully.
Lin Yuan nodded and replied indifferently: "No need for formality, just here to look around."
Just looking around?
What’s there to see here, just some imprisoned sinners.
Nonetheless, Duowen Heaven dared not ask further and simply said, "Wherever Lord Ming King wishes to go, I’ll take you for a tour."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Duowen Heaven, who has interacted with Unmoving Ming King more, should know him somewhat.
If he kept following him, Lin Yuan would surely blow his cover.
Not to mention unfamiliarity with the roads, even such simple matters couldn’t be concealed.
Unmoving Ming King conducts inspections every hundred years, surely knowing the City of Sin’s roads.
Lin Yuan, however, completely unfamiliar with the roads, would definitely arouse Duowen Heaven’s suspicion if mistaken.
What to do?
Lin Yuan’s mind raced, searching for a solution.
"Liuyu Heaven, is there any way to stop Duowen Heaven following us!" Lin Yuan whispered to Liuyu Heaven.
Liuyu Heaven contemplated briefly and replied, "I’ve heard Chiguo Heaven likes power, Zengzhang Heaven likes wealth, Duomu Heaven likes beauty, and Duowen Heaven likes alcohol."
"I haven’t interacted much with them, don’t know if the rumors are true, if they are, maybe we can get him drunk."
Likes alcohol?
If he truly does, then indeed we could get him drunk.
Last time leaving the Mysterious World, Lin Yuan told Zhao Kuo he would invite him for drinks next time.
Since he promised, he couldn’t break the promise, thus brought a lot of good wine this time.
Especially that Maotai, he brought dozens, if not hundreds of cases.
Considering this, Lin Yuan whispered to Liuyu Heaven: "Go try him."
Liuyu Heaven was a bit intimidated by Duowen Heaven, but summoned courage to approach and cautiously said: "I’ve heard you enjoy drinking, Lord Ming King has plenty of fine wine; how about I get a few bottles for you."
Upon hearing fine wine, Duowen Heaven’s eyes lit up.
Seeing Duowen Heaven’s gaze, Liuyu Heaven knew the rumor was true.
"You can get wine from Lord Ming King?" Duowen Heaven thought, given Unmoving Ming King’s stature, his wine must be top-notch.
However, Duowen Heaven doubted Liuyu Heaven’s ability to obtain wine from Unmoving Ming King.
After all, to him, Liuyu Heaven was just Unmoving Ming King’s lackey, who would give good wine to a lackey?
"Don’t underestimate me!"
"Though my rank may be low, I have a gift for talking!"
"Lord Ming King values me greatly; I’ll go fetch some wine for you!" Liuyu Heaven declared with confidence.
