Chapter 90: It’s Time to Teach the Love Rival a Lesson

The Imperial Court was located extremely close to the capital city.

The city gate of Wanping City, which was the most prosperous area near the capital, was heavily guarded by two soldiers who were inspecting every passerby.

“Crown Prince has said that from today onwards, the entire Imperial Court will not tolerate Nie Chen,” one of the soldiers said.

“If we discover Nie Chen entering the Imperial Court’s territory, we will kill him without mercy!”

One of the soldiers held up a portrait and scanned the passing crowd.

He was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, and his status was not ordinary among the soldiers.

According to common sense, they should have been treated with respect and luxury as Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and they shouldn’t have been doing the tedious job of guarding the gate.

However, the situation had changed recently.

Since Crown Prince returned from the Sacred Lands of Fanhua, he had put out a warrant for Nie Chen’s arrest and had distributed his portrait to every city and town.

The reward for Nie Chen’s head was a staggering 10,000 Spirit Stones!

That was an enormous amount of Spirit Stones!

10,000 Spirit Stones was a sum that one person couldn’t spend in a lifetime.

If they could get Crown Prince’s recognition, their future would be limitless!

The two soldiers’ eyes shone with excitement as they stared at every passerby.

Although this job was tough, if they could catch Nie Chen, it would be enough to turn their lives around and enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of their lives!

But under the scorching sun, as the crowd of commoners surged into the city, the two soldiers were drenched in sweat and had aching backs, yet they hadn’t found a single suspicious person.

“I wonder if we can still catch Nie Chen,” one of the soldiers said with a sigh.

He held up the portrait and examined it.

“Maybe it’s a bit difficult,” the other soldier replied.

“But as long as Nie Chen shows up, it’s easy to recognize him.”

The portrait depicted Nie Chen as a three-headed, six-armed monster with a hideous face and four sharp fangs.

He also had a full beard and looked extremely ugly.

“Brothers, are you sure this is Nie Chen?” a voice suddenly asked from beside them.

The two soldiers were startled and turned to see a handsome young man standing next to them.

“Damn it?” they exclaimed in unison.

The young man’s appearance was so stunning that it was hard to believe.

They had seen handsome men before, and they had even seen Crown Prince’s handsome face.

But compared to this young man, they were not even in the same league.

Moreover, this young man seemed to be emitting a strange aura that was extremely attractive.

“Brother, you’re too handsome,” one of the soldiers blurted out.

“You’re completely different from the ugly guy in the portrait.”

The young man raised an eyebrow and asked, “Who is the person in the portrait?”

“It’s Nie Chen, of course,” the soldier replied.

“Who else could be so ugly?”

The young man smiled and said, “I’ve heard that Nie Chen is extremely handsome and charming.”

“He’s so charming that ordinary girls will fall in love with him at first sight.”

The two soldiers looked at each other in confusion.

“We’ve heard that Nie Chen is a Heavenly Cloud Palace disciple and is extremely handsome,” one of them said.

“But this time, it seems that the artists who painted Nie Chen’s portrait were all killed by Crown Prince, and the uglier the portrait, the more rewards the artist received.”

“So, the portrait ended up looking like this.”

The two soldiers quickly shut their mouths, not daring to say another word.

“If I said I was Nie Chen, what would you do?” the young man suddenly asked.

The two soldiers were taken aback, but then they burst out laughing.

“Brother, you’re joking,” they said.

“You’re so handsome, how could you be the ugly Nie Chen?”

“I’m Nie Chen, and I’ll make you eat your words,” the young man said with a smile.

One of the soldiers, whose name was Wang Liu, felt a shiver run down his spine as Nie Chen patted him on the shoulder.

“I’ll remember you, Wang Liu,” Nie Chen said.

Wang Liu was left standing there, feeling like he had been marked.

The city of Wanping was bustling with activity.

Many people were gathered on the streets, discussing something in hushed tones.

“I heard that the Righteous Sect is going to hold a meeting to discuss the capture of Nie Chen,” someone said.

“Nie Chen is the one who’s been causing trouble for Empress and Crown Prince,” another person replied.

“I’ve seen his portrait, and he’s extremely ugly, with three heads and six arms.”

“That’s right, he’s a villain who deserves to be captured and killed,” someone else said.

The crowd surged towards the location of the Righteous Sect’s meeting, eager to see the excitement.

Nie Chen followed the crowd, his fists clenched and his killing intent palpable.

“It’s time to teach that love rival a lesson,” he thought to himself.
