Chapter 214: Name (II)

In Jinzhou City, among the southern cities of Jiangnan province, there was only one large city which had a population of more than 10 million people. It was guarded by a guardian at the peak of the warrior realm.

After Chen Yiming gathered his spoils at the shopping center in Creek Mountain City, he led his team straight to the southern cities.

Their first stop was Jinzhou City.

This was the center of the entire battlefield in the south. If there were any abnormalities in the wilderness, they would immediately be reported to Jinzhou City.

The group walked along the bustling street.

There were many customers in the surrounding shops. There were people shopping, eating, and drinking tea.

“Big cities are indeed different. Jinzhou City doesn’t seem to be affected by the war at all.”

Wang Bowen sighed after he entered the city and carefully confirmed his observations.

“There are guardians at the peak of the warrior realm guarding the large cities. With this level of strength, the giant steel-spear spiders can’t make up for it with just numbers.”

Chen Yiming smiled.

No one knew the true situation of the catacombs better than him.

The spider emperors were either dead or had run away. In reality, the humans had an absolute advantage in terms of top combat strength.

Although the number of giant steel-spear spiders was terrifying, if they were facing all the cities in the south of Jiangnan province, their overall strength would definitely be inferior to that of humans.

However, since the giant steel-spear spiders could sneak around underground, they had the ability to fight against the humans.

“You have already established yourself in the Myriad Phenomena Sect. The sect is much closer to Jiangnan City than East Lake City. Aren’t you considering moving your faction and your family to Jiangnan City?”

When Wang Bowen saw Jinzhou City’s performance in the war, he immediately had a thought.

“There are good and bad things about moving to Jiangnan City. It’s just like how none of the large provincial sects set up their headquarters in Jiangnan City.”

Chen Yiming didn’t think that there was anything to hide.

“That’s true. As the center of the province, there are many restrictions.”

Wang Bowen sighed.

He understood what Chen Yiming was trying to say. He was confident that he could become someone on the level of the sect master, so he had made plans in advance.

This confidence wasn’t completely baseless. After all, Chen Yiming had made another huge breakthrough not long after joining the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

…

The Peninsula Hotel was the best hotel in Jinzhou City.

The heads of the large factions and peak masters who were supporting the southern cities were all arranged to stay here.

At this moment, in the hotel lobby, Gu Chen, the disciple of the Kunshan Sect, was looking for the hotel manager.

“A luxury suite? Give me an explanation for why the Kunshan Sect is treated differently from the other large sects,” Gu Chen questioned him angrily.

When he traveled with the court head, Cheng Shikun, they had always been given the presidential suite. Although the strength of the Kunshan Sect had decreased greatly, they would not be looked down on like this.

If there were really not enough rooms, why didn’t they make arrangements earlier? Why did they have to arrange for them to stay in the same hotel?

The people from their opposing sect, the Myriad Phenomena Sect, were staying in the presidential suite, while the people from the Kunshan Sect were staying in the luxury suite. This made the Kunshan Sect feel ashamed.

“There are indeed not enough rooms. I’ll communicate with the higher-ups immediately and help you change hotels as soon as possible.”

The hotel manager was a thin middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. He had been pushed out to take the blame. As he explained the situation, he bowed and apologized, repeatedly giving his assurance.

The reason was that the higher-ups of Jinzhou City had received the news that Chen Yiming was in the sea of flowers and had resolved the predicament of three cities by himself. He had then led his team south to provide support there.

On the battlefield, there were battles between those who had mastered the transformation of their internal force. Achieving a draw, a defeat, or killing the opponent were completely different outcomes.

The head of the Kunshan Sect, Cheng Shikun, was fighting the giant steel-spear spiders of the same level one-on-one. He was only evenly matched with the spiders, while Chen Yiming had the ability to kill them.

As a result, Chen Yiming’s support was far more valuable than Cheng Shikun’s.

The Peninsula Hotel had already made arrangements for the team led by the court head of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, Zhou Xuesheng. Now, Chen Yiming was leading another team over from Jinzhou City.

In order to prevent a conflict and to protect the Kunshan Sect, they had no choice but to adjust their original arrangements and move the Kunshan Sect, which had an old grudge with the Myriad Phenomena Sect, to another hotel.

Assigning them to the luxury suite was just a reasonable excuse to chase them out.

“Hurry up and get it done. When my master comes, he won’t try to reason with you,” Gu Chen’s expression was ugly as he shouted.

The Kunshan Sect was currently weak, so after Cheng Shikun came to Jinzhou City, he did not go straight to the hotel to rest. Instead, he went visiting to look for a few of their allies.

“No problem. I’ll get right on it.”

The hotel manager heaved a sigh of relief and agreed.

At this moment, a large group of people entered the hotel lobby from the outside.

It was Chen Yiming and his group. Wan Ya was right beside him.

As Chen Yiming stood out more and more in the Myriad Phenomena Sect, not only did Wan Rong talk to her about the future of the Wan clan many times, but she also gave up on the thoughts that she shouldn’t have had.

After witnessing Chen Yiming’s achievements in the three cities in the sea of flowers, she had even thought of a reason to break up with Gu Chen. She was just waiting for the right opportunity to talk to him.

Resisting the clan’s arrangements would only harm Gu Chen. This was also for his own good.

“Welcome to the Peninsula Hotel!”

The hotel manager, who had already received all the information about the important guests, quickly went up to them and took the initiative to help with the check-in procedures.

Between Chen Yiming and Gu Chen, one was a rare genius who had the potential to become the sect master of a large sect, while the other was a disciple of a large sect that was on the decline. There was a huge difference in status and strength between them. The hotel manager naturally knew who was more important.

Soon, a key card to the presidential suite was handed to Chen Yiming.

Other than Wan Ya, the others also received their own room cards. However, unlike Chen Yiming, it was only a standard room.

The Wan clan had already publicized their actions openly, so the hotel manager had naturally received instructions from his superiors. Therefore, Wan Ya was left empty-handed and was arranged to stay in the presidential suite together with Chen Yiming.

“Chen Yiming, why didn’t you die to the mutant beasts?”

This scene made Gu Chen, who was watching, furious. He cursed in his heart.

He clenched his fists tightly. Drops of blood flowed out from the breaks in the skin and finally dripped to the ground.

His girlfriend had been snatched away, and he had even witnessed the scene in person. If not for his lack of strength, he would have killed him on the spot.

However, no matter how angry he was, it could not change the difference in their strength. Therefore, he could only swallow his anger for the time being and make plans for the long term. After all, he firmly believed in his promise with Wan Ya.

Chen Yiming didn’t think much of it. To the current him, it was useless even if the sect master of a large sect came.

If one strike did not work, he would need at most two strikes.

After instructing the elite members of the hunting team to rest well, he walked straight to the elevator.

Wan Ya’s face turned red. She hesitated for a moment before following him.

To be honest, she didn’t want to follow Chen Yiming into the presidential suite in front of Gu Chen.

However, since things had come to this, she had no choice. If things blew up, she and the Wan clan would be the ones to suffer.

When the elevator door closed, the elite members of the hunting team sensed that something was amiss, but they did not know the inside story and did not dare to discuss it casually.

However, the disciples from the Mantis Snake Sword School were different. Many of them secretly looked at Gu Chen.

After all, Gu Chen was a warrior. Chen Yiming could look down on him, but it didn’t mean that others could as well.

He was already leaning against the sofa in the living room. His eyes were listless and his face was pale, as if he had fallen seriously ill.

“Everyone has worked hard. Go and rest quickly.”

Seeing this, Wang Bowen urged everyone to leave.

Soon, the hotel lobby became empty again, leaving behind only a few beautiful receptionists and Gu Chen, who was still leaning against the sofa.

Light music echoed in the hotel lobby as the fish swam around the tanks on display.
