Immortal Exalt Tan Yu emerged from the city lord’s estate personally. His appearance immediately stunned the patrolling soldiers in the estate. Their eyes were filled with emotion and admiration.
As an Immortal Exalt, although Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was technically the city lord, he had stopped bothering himself with the daily affairs a long time ago. Normally, he rarely even showed himself. Only an extremely small number of people had seen him before.
Very soon, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu appeared at the entrance of the city lord’s estate with vice city lord He Luo, personally inviting Jian Chen into the estate under the shocked gazes of the guards on the side.
“Fellow Yang Yutian, may I ask when we will set out?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu asked in a hurry as soon as they entered the majestic hall.
“Any time will do, but please draw them to the wilderness ten million kilometres to the south-east. My people are already waiting. You can leave the rest up to me,” Jian Chen said easily as if the ancestor of the Void-perceiving sect and the Wukun Master were of no concern whatsoever.
“Alright. I’ll completely rely on you for what happens next. If you really can help us resolve this problem, then our Immortal Rising City will never forget about your great kindness. If you are ever in need, our Immortal Rising City will do everything we can to assist you,” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu said firmly.
Outside the protective formation, the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master sat in the middle of the air. They conversed with one another as they controlled their god artifacts and attacked the protective formation below.
They were discussing the plan to prevent Immortal Exalt Tan Yu from fleeing and killing him in one fell stroke.
“Immortal Exalt Tan Yu is already heavily injured. In his current state, if we use our full strength, we can kill him within twenty moves,” the Wukun Master said without much concern. He grasped the Laws of the Sword, so his attacks were swift and powerful. He did not have any ancient legacies, but only a handful of his peers could match his battle prowess.
“I’ve borrowed the Heaven-locking Chains from the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment as well. These chains can seal up entire worlds. With this item around, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu won’t be able to escape.” The Void-perceiving Ancestor smiled. His eyes were filled with eagerness.
The Wukun Master was taken aback. He said in surprise, “You’ve actually even borrowed the Heaven-locking Chains. Looks like Immortal Exalt Tan Yu of the Immortal Rising City is really done for this time.”
At this moment, the two of them seemed to sense something. Their gazes both turned towards the direction of the city lord’s estate.
Shortly afterwards, a ripple appeared in the protective formation above the city lord’s estate as a gate opened silently. Immortal Exalt Tan Yu appeared outside the formation alone with his feeble presence. His face was still slightly pale.
“Hahaha, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, don’t tell me you plan on running? I’d advise you to give up on that because I’ve come prepared this time. You’re going nowhere.” The Void-perceiving Ancestor stood up from his seated position and opened his hand. Immediately, the colossal, three-legged cauldron shrank and landed in his hand.
Meanwhile, golden chains appeared in his other hand. They shone with exuberant colour and radiated with a chilling pressure.
“That’s the Heaven-locking Chains.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s face immediately changed when he saw the golden chains.
The Heaven-locking Chains belonged to one of the three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, the Space-purging Ancestor.
The Space-purging Ancestor was an expert who had grasped the Laws of Space. His cultivation had already reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt. As his personal god artifact, the Heaven-locking Chains obviously possessed the powers of the Laws of Space. It could move through space and bypass any spatial distances.
As soon as the Heaven-locking Chains appeared, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu knew that he really could not escape this time.
“I don’t wish for our feud to affect my brothers who have gone through thick and thin with me. Old Void-perceiving, if you want to kill me, then I’ll give you the chance. We’ll travel away from the Immortal Rising City and fight to the death in a place of wilderness. That way, you won’t have to worry about damaging or harming the city below because of the shockwaves of battle and hereby provoking peak organisations like the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu stared straight at the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master. He said emotionlessly, “My condition is that you don’t touch my brothers.”
The Void-perceiving Ancestor sneered. Right when he was about to reject his request, the Wukun Master suddenly communicated to him, “Agree to him first. We don’t need your Void-perceiving sect to deal with the eight clans located in the Immortal Rising City. Our Sword Sect of Mount Kun will deal with them ourselves.”
The Wukun Master’s message immediately changed the Void-perceiving Ancestor’s mind. He agreed to the conditions with a laugh. “I’ve heard for the longest time that Immortal Exalt Tan Yu is a man who values his friendships. From what I’ve seen today, you truly do live up to your name. You’re actually willing to give up your life for some Immortal Emperors. However, is the Skyscraping Sword Scripture with you?”
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu flipped his hand, and a blinding ball of light appeared. “You must recognise what this is. This is the Skyscraping Sword Scripture.”
Seeing how the Skyscraping Sword Scripture was actually with Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, the Void-perceiving Ancestor immediately eased up. Although he could borrow the Energy-devouring Furnace and the Heaven-locking Chains from the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment in this assault against the Immortal Rising City, it was not because the holy maiden of his Void-perceiving sect had been married off to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. The true reason was because he had promised to offer up the Skyscraping Sword Scripture once the deed was done.
If he did not obtain the Skyscraping Sword Scripture, it would be difficult for him to report back to them.
“Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, choose your place of burial. I’d advise against fleeing. I have the Heaven-locking Chains. You won’t be able to escape from the Hall Brilliance Heaven no matter what. Hahahahaha.” The Void-perceiving Ancestor laughed aloud.
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu snorted coldly and said nothing at all. He turned around and flew off in the direction that Jian Chen had told him about.
The Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master followed closely behind him.
“Be careful of any traps. I just feel like there’s something off about Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s response,” the Wukun Master communicated.
The Void-perceiving Ancestor said without concern, “The Energy-devouring Furnace represents the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. Who on the Hall Brilliance Heaven doesn’t respect the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment? Since our Void-perceiving sect has produced the Energy-devouring Furnace, anyone with their wits about them would know that it is also the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment’s will for us to attack the Immortal Rising City. Under these circumstances, just which organisations on the Hall Brilliance Heaven do you think would still help the Immortal Rising City?”
The Void-perceiving Ancestor glanced at the Wukun Master and said confidently, “In my opinion, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu is already aware that he can’t get out of this alive, so he’s given up on struggling. He plans on paving a path of survival for his subordinates.”
In the blink of an eye, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, the Void-perceiving Ancestor, and the Wukun Master vanished into the horizon.
The opening in the formation above the city lord’s estate slowly closed up as well.
The two vice city lords, Qiu Wanqian and He Luo, stood in the city lord’s estate and gazed in the direction that Immortal Exalt Tan Yu had vanished in. Their faces were filled with worry.
“What’s going on? Why has brother gone outside alone?”
“Qiu Wanqian, He Luo, what is brother doing? Don’t tell me he is really planning on fighting the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master to the death?”
“He is too foolish. He is already heavily injured, and he will be up against two opponents. How will he stand a chance?”
“The two Immortal Exalts have already been drawn away by brother. Should we gather our forces and kill our way out? Even if we die, we can’t let the people from the Void-perceiving sect have it easy.”
“Yeah, let’s kill our way out and perish with the experts of the Void-perceiving sect. If they want to destroy our Immortal Rising City, we’ll make them pay a terrible price.”
The ancestors of the eight clans in the Immortal Rising City gathered in the city lord’s estate. They all radiated with a murderous aura as their battle intent surged, no longer fearing death.
“Settle down, everyone. Believe in our brother. The moment the city lord returns is the moment we trample over the Void-perceiving sect. He’ll definitely return.” Vice city lord He Luo consoled everyone. His eyes were filled with determination.
The ancestors of the eight clans looked at one another. They were in doubt. They struggled to understand where He Luo’s confidence came from.
However, before they could ask, He Luo said, “Don’t ask for now. It’s not appropriate for me to tell you about certain things right now. We’ll talk about it once the city lord returns.”
When he said that, He Luo appeared to be very confident, but in reality, he was uncertain inside as well. He did not know whether the city lord could still return or not.
A barren mountain range stood ten million kilometres away from the Immortal Rising City. The spiritual Qi there was lacking and basically no vegetation grew. As far as the eye could see, there was only bare rock.
On this day, a tremendous pressure suddenly appeared in the barren mountains, immediately enveloping the entire wilderness.
Several thousand metres in the air, a figure appeared like he had teleported there. He was the city lord of the Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu.
Despite being heavily injured, he was still a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt after all. The presence he naturally gave off was enough to make the surroundings shudder, dispersing all the clouds.
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu hovered in the air. He glanced around cautiously. He also felt uneasy inside, nowhere near as composed as he seemed on the surface.
“There’s no need to worry, city lord. You only need to secretly do what I say. The Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master will die today.” Jian Chen’s voice drifted into Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s ear.
The unexpected voice immediately made Immortal Exalt Tan Yu shudder inside, as he was unable to sense Jian Chen’s existence at all. Let alone his presence, he could not even sense the slightest trace.
If Jian Chen had not spoken up, he would not even believe that a person was actually hidden silently right beside him.
“What a masterful method of hiding.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s confidence swelled. He seemed to truly stop worrying at that moment.
“Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, do you plan on choosing to be buried here?” A laugh rang out. The Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master appeared at the same time in front of Immortal Exalt Tan Yu.
“Isn’t it a little too early to say that?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu immediately became filled with confidence.
“Hahaha, it’s not early at all. I’ve managed to borrow the Energy-devouring Furnace and the Heaven-locking Chains from the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, so the implications go without saying. Just who on the Hall Brilliance Heaven is still bold enough to assist you?” The Void-perceiving Ancestor sneered.
