11 CONFLICT
After Lin Chen and Yan Xue defeated the Guardian Bull of the Forest, they continued their journey to Xuan City, the Capital of the Jingwen Province. The distance between the Purple Forest and Xuan City was 10 thousand kilometres.
It took 3 days at the current Lin Chen's full speed to get to Xuan City, but because Lin Chen brought Yan Xue, it took 7 days.
Along the way, Lin Chen also killed a lot of beasts and cultivated them to level up.
…
"Status", muttered Lin Chen.

Lin Chen took a deep breath as he looked at the blue screen in front of his eyes, "Hahh, it's still a long time to advance to the Heavenly Emperor level", said Lin Chen, slightly disappointed.
"Lin Chen, let's go." Yan Xue said, approaching Lin Chen.
Lin Chen nodded slightly and stood up while patting his clothes soiled with dust and grass.
They resumed their journey until 7 days had passed, and from a distance, Lin Chen could already see a fairly large city wall from the walls surrounding Xing City.
"Woaahh what a huge city," said Lin Chen, looking at the city walls and the long queue.
Yan Xue chuckled lightly and chimed in Lin Chen's admiration when seeing Lin Chen's expression.
"This is just a small town. There are still bigger cities, among the Provinces in the Empire, Jingwen Province is last in terms of both strength and area." Yan Xue replied.
Lin Chen was silent and nodded when he heard Yan Xue's explanation.
They both walked back and lined up in the queue.
10 minutes later…
To enter the city, they are checked for identity and charged an entrance fee of 2 silver taels per person.
The moment Lin Chen stepped in, there was a commotion in the city, lots of merchants hawking their wares, and some minor bickering between merchants and buyers about prices.
Lin Chen, looking around, stopped as his gaze focused on the large, classical Chinese style building.
"Yan Xue, let's eat over there," said Lin Chen, pointing at the big building.
Yan Xue gave a small nod and followed Lin Chen. When they arrived in front of the building, they were greeted by a quite beautiful maid.
"Welcome sir. What floor would you like to eat on?" The waiter bowed respectfully.
"Floor? Is there a difference between floors?" Lin Chen asked in confusion.
Hearing Lin Chen's question, the maid smiled wryly but still explained. "For the First and Second Floors that everyone can enter but with different food prices, the Third Floor can only be entered by people who have reached the Heavenly Path stage. Finally, the Fourth Floor is reserved for influential Nobles, Great Sects and people with cultivation levels. Heavenly King," explained the servant.
Lin Chen, who heard the waiter's explanation nodded slightly and chose the floor, "Okay, then we choose the second floor", Lin Chen replied, then entered the building.
"Tch, asking for an explanation but only asking for the second floor", She muttered, full of annoyance.
Lin Chen, who heard the maid's words, ignored her and continued his way to the second floor.
"Lin Chen, couldn't you have just entered the Fourth Floor. Why choose the Second Floor?" Yan Xue asked who was following behind Lin Chen.
"To avoid trouble." Lin Chen replied calmly.
"Problem?"
"Yeah, isn't it strange for a 15 year old to be at the Heavenly King level. For a 15 year old genius among geniuses to only reach Core Formation *9 at most. If people find out that I reached Heavenly King, then they will think I have a precious artifact or forbidden technique to temporarily level up." Lin Chen explained.
Yan Xue only nodded slightly in agreement with Lin Chen's answer.
They sat right by the window with a view of the city. Lin Chen ordered a meal that included luxury.
"This is the food, sir, please enjoy it," said the waiter, putting the food down and turning to leave.
Lin Chen smiled in response to the waiter as he was about to put some food into his mouth. A group of young people totalling 5 people, approached him, led by a handsome young man with long brown hair and matching eyes wearing blue clothes with cloud patterns.
"Miss, will you come with me?" said the youth leader.
"Sorry not interested", Yan Xue replied without taking her eyes off.
Hearing the answer given, other youths began to get emotional.
"You bastard! The young master is asking you nicely!" Said another young man.
The herd leader waved his hand to stop. He looked back at Yan Xue, "Miss, if you come with me. You can enter the fourth floor", he said confidently.
Yan Xue just shook her head and replied without looking back at her, "Not interested."
Annoyed, the young man hit the table, making a loud noise throughout the room and said.
"You! You dared to reject me twice. Don't you know who I am? I am Lu Xian, Young Master of the Blue Clouds Sect!!!" He shouted, annoyed.
Hearing the commotion, the customers eating their meals looked at the 5 youths and Lin Chen and Yan Xue.
"Lu Xian? Isn't that the genius of the Blue Cloud Sect?" Ask the customer slowly.
"Yes, and it looks like the lovers over there are involved with Lu Xian," replied another customer.
"They're finished. Lu Xian is already at the Core Formation level *8" the customer shook his head.
Lin Chen, who had been silent all this time, stood up from his seat, annoyed that something was disturbing him while he was eating.
"You," said Lin Chen looking at Lu Xian.
Lu Xian, who was staring at Lin Chen, only snorted.
"Huh. What? Do you dare to fight me? You're not worthy. You broke his leg!" Reply Lu Xian ordered his subordinates.
"Yes, young master." They answered in unison and attacked with murderous intent.
Lin Chen didn't budge from his spot being attacked from all directions.
Finding the young man in front of him didn't move an inch, made Lu Xian smile slyly and big head, "Are you scared? I'll let you live as long as you kowtow 3 times-" said Lu Xian, who had finished his sentence because he saw a scene that didn't match his expectations.
Boom!
Boom!
Lun Xian's subordinates were flung violently against the wall. The customers who saw what was happening in front of him almost dropped their jaws to the floor in disbelief at what they were seeing.
Seeing his subordinates being defeated in just a few seconds made Lu Xian's legs tremble, but he tried to remain calm and pointed his finger at Lin Chen, "Y-You… D-Don't you dare attack me or the Blue Cloud Sect will hunt you down" threatened Lu Xian stuttering.
Regardless of what Lu Xian said, Lin Chen picked up a piece of wood and flicked it toward Lu Xian. The wood chips flew fast like bullets hitting Lu Xian's right and left shoulders.
"Arrgghh!"
A scream resounded throughout the room. The customers were now shuddering in horror, and some felt sorry for Lin Chen for offending the Blue Cloud Sect.
"Die the child. The patriarch and father of Lu Xian is already at the Heavenly King stage *8," murmured the customer.
Lin Chen, who heard this, smiled a little and kicked Lu Xian's chest again.
Boom!
"Don't let me see you again. You guys, take that trash away from me." said Lin Chen pointing at Lu Xian's subordinates.
Lu Xian, who hit the wall, tried to get up on one leg, "You! The Blue Cloud Sect will hunt you anywhere." Lu Xian said as his subordinates carried him.
Lin Chen was silent as he was threatened by the youth he had just defeated because, for him, his current strength was enough to dominate Jingwen Province.
Even if it's only in the Heavenly Realm if he puts all his strength into it, Lin Chen had already been able to defeat the enemies in the Nirvana Realm.
Seeing Lu Xian walking out, Lin Chen opened his voice again, "Wait", said Lin Chen.
"Especially!" Lu Xian replied, annoyed.
"You pay the cost for the damage," said Lin Chen looking at the cracked floor and some smashed furniture.
"You!"
"What? Or do you want me to break your leg?" asked Lin Chen, who gave off a killing aura.
Lu Xian, who felt the murderous aura, could only be silent while gritting his teeth in annoyance. He took a bag of gold from his storage ring and threw it to the maid, then left.
"Lin Chen, you are in danger. Why did you make enemies when you just came to the capital?" said Yan Xue worriedly, who approached Lin Chen.
Lin Chen, who saw Yan Xue's expression, only smiled gently and patted Yan Xue's head lightly, "You take it easy. Let's find another restaurant. It's too noisy in here," said Lin Chen.
Yan Xue just nodded slowly with a flushed face and followed Lin Chen like a duck following its mother.
