Ling Xiaolong's guess was right.
Zhen Chen was about to succeed in the position of City Lord in Heavenly Star City, but despite his extraordinary talent, he was still just a Celestial Awakening Realm warrior.
With his strength, he could not control those big forces living in the Heavenly Star City.
If he succeeded the position of City Lord, it was inevitable that he wouldn't be able to control the city.
Because he hadn't stayed in Heavenly Star City for a long time, Zhen Chen had returned to Heavenly Star City this time to understand how rules and order work in this city. In order to obtain information on various aspects, he obtained a fake identity and entered the silver-armored guards.
The reason was to establish prestige amongst the silver-armored guards. This way, when he takes over the position of City Lord in the future, it would save him a lot of trouble.
