Chapter 14 The Fifth Prince, Luo Donghe

There were still seven days until the martial arts competition, so Lin Yan decided to stay in the Dragon-Devouring Prison and use the Shadow of the Dragon-Devourer to decrypt the Gold Essence Pill that Huang Suqiu had given to him.

At the same time, he used the extra Marrow-Purifying Pills he had to cultivate, quickly completing the last step in the Forging of Bones and entering the Sixth Stage of Body Tempering.

Compared to the tranquility of the Dragon-Devouring Prison, Sun County was much more lively.

On the third day of Lin Yan's retreat, the doors to Sun County were opened. Tens of thousands of people stood at the sides of the city gates, waiting.

"I heard that the Fifth Prince of the Imperial City's royal family, Luo Donghe, is coming to Sun County. What on earth is it that brought such a big shot here?"

Some people were surprised when they heard Luo Donghe's name. "Luo Donghe?"

"I heard that he is the most talented prince in the whole royal family!"

"Could it have something to do with the Imperial City's army recruitment?"

"Impossible! The Imperial City's recruitment was never under the prince's control. Moreover, it's such a trivial matter. Why would such a small matter bother him?"

"Shh, keep your voices down. Look at the city gates. Even Mu Chen is here to welcome him. Don't let them catch you saying something you're not supposed to."

Above the city gates, a white-haired old man stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance as the wind blew past him. Beside him stood an old man and a young man.

The elegant young man held a longsword in his hand and fervor in his eyes. It was none other than Lin Tianyou.

The middle-aged man was the First Elder of the Lin Family, Lin Lang.

"Haha. I always thought that the Fifth Prince Luo Donghe being Lin Tianyou's cousin was just a rumor."

"But now, it would appear that it is true! Is the Fifth Prince going to personally supervise the martial arts competition?"

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Lin Lang craftily.

Lin Lang chuckled and did not reply. Instead, he looked into the distance.

A large crowd slowly came into his sight, followed by a solemn sound.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The large crowd stood side by side, with no end in sight.

More than 50 soldiers in golden armor made from the python scales led the way. They were sweating heavily, having traveled thousands of miles.

The spears and battleaxes in their hands gave off a greyish-black light and a vast mountain-like pressure was released from their body.

Every one of the soldiers was at the Seventh Stage of Body Tempering at least. With such combat power, they could fill up Sun County with dead bodies within a day.

Behind them were war-horse lugging treasures, delicacies, gold, and silver that glistened under the sun.

The maids were wearing faintly discernible muslin dresses and hairpins made from a luminous beast that glowed with a green light. On their ankles were anklets made of purple electric eel bones.

All of them had enticing and curvaceous figures, causing the men in the welcoming team to hoot.

Behind the group, an enormous demonic beast lumbered into sight. The beast resembled a rhinoceros with a horn on its head.

Its scarlet eyes were especially striking. What was even more shocking was that it was a Rank Two demonic beast. It was equivalent to a martial artist of the Foundation Realm.

Every time it took a step, the earth trembled. Dust flew off the top of the city gate as if the city was crumbling.

"Is that a Jade Horn Rhinoceros? The Fifth Prince managed to subdue such a ferocious beast as his mount!"

Mu Chen's mouth fell open in shock.

The Jade Horn Rhinoceros's back was covered with a rattan bed draped with a light yellow veil. Inside was a handsome young man about 17 years old.

The young man wore a long Divine Dragon robe with golden patterns, a large marble pearl on his head, and a palm-sized token at his waist.

Two women were lying next to him, disheveled and coquettish. One hugged the young man and the other lay in the young man's arms, flirting with him.

"So this is Sun County, huh? What a backwater village. If not for that cunning old fox Lin Lang using the Heavenly Sword Finger Technique as a condition, I would not have come!"

Luo Donghe frowned and was a little angry. He slapped the buttocks of the woman in his arms and cursed angrily.

"B*tch, don't you see that we are almost here? Have you never seen a man in your last life? Get up!"

"Do you want me to feed you to my Jade Horn Rhinoceros?"

Being scolded by Luo Donghe, the enchanted look on the woman's face turned to panic. She quickly got up and sat beside him.

"Welcome, Prince Luo Donghe!"

"Welcome, Prince Luo Donghe!"

When Luo Donghe arrived at the city gate, Mu Chen led a group of civilians in kowtowing to the Fifth Prince.

Luo Donghe hurried down to meet Mu Chen and personally helped him up.

"Uncle Mu, you don't have to be so polite. We are family and you are my elder. In terms of seniority, I should kneel to you!"

"This Sun County of yours is so small and exquisite. I'm so envious! If I can, I really want to stay in Sun County for a while and enjoy myself!" Luo Donghe said in praise.

He looked around and forced a smile.

Seeing this, Lin Lang, who was next to the Mu Chen, came forward before the Fifth Prince could ask him to get up. He bowed and introduced himself.

"Greetings to Prince Luo Donghe, my name is Lin Lang. I am the Elder of the Lin Clan, and this is my son, Lin Tianyou, the number one genius of Sun County!"

Lin Lang grinned cheekily, then turned around and called to his son.

"Tianyou, come and greet your cousin."

Lin Tianyou's face lit up. He quickly came to Luo Donghe and bowed. "Greetings, Cousin!"

Luo Donghe showed no sign of anger in the face of the rude father and son. He smiled and looked at Lin Tianyou, saying,

"Good, not bad, he is worthy indeed! If you are able to enter the Imperial army, you will definitely be able to accomplish great feats in the future and be conferred titles of nobility!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianyou and his father were overjoyed and quickly expressed their gratitude.

"Prince Luo Donghe, your residence is ready. Why don't I get someone to escort you?"

Mu Chen was about to call for someone, but Luo Donghe stopped him with a smile.

"Uncle Mu, thank you. But I've never met my cousin. I want to spend more time with him, so I think I'll live with the Lin family."

"Tianyou, is that alright?"

"Of course! You're more than welcome!"

The father and son nodded and bowed. How could they refuse such a wonderful event?

When Luo Donghe turned back to the crowd, the smile on his face disappeared immediately. He became gloomy and impatient.

A bracelet appeared in his hand. He waved his hand at the Jade Horn Rhinoceros nearby, and it immediately absorbed the demonic beast.

Such a thing left everyone dumbfounded.

"It's the spiritual beast bangle! That precious treasure exists!"

Even Mu Chen, a member of the royal family who had reached the Foundation Realm, couldn't help but be shocked.
