Azure Wave City Lord, Guardian Jade Talisman

As the gaze of the wealthy young man fixed upon them, the Treasure Pavilion and the others immediately felt an immense pressure descend upon them.

It descended upon them as if the sky had collapsed.

This caused everyone's bodies to sink, cracking the ground beneath their feet.

Moreover, as time goes by, the pressure emanating from these privileged young people becomes increasingly heavy.

In just a few breaths, the pressure caused the waists and legs of the Treasure Pavilion and others to bend and sink continuously.

He actually wanted to use his own aura to force the Treasure Pavilion and others to their knees!

"This person isn't even at the Nascent Soul Realm, how can he be so strong?!"

The Treasure Pavilion and the others were all shocked by the aura emanating from the young man.

They could all see that the young man in the sky was not Nascent Soul Great Power, but rather Golden Core Realm.

However, the aura emanating from him was truly terrifying.

Just like the king in the sky, he inspires fear and trembling.

I couldn't help but want to kneel down and worship it.

The two Deputy Pavilion Master, in particular, were filled with disbelief.

They were also powerful individuals at the seventh level or above in the Golden Core Late Stage.

But they felt that they were not even in the same league as them.

"Interesting. This aura doesn't seem to be just a simple imposing force, but rather something that's generated by some secret technique. It has the power to awe the soul and subdue the enemy."

Of all the people present, only Lu Qing remained relaxed and unperturbed by the imposing presence of the wealthy young man.

He even had the leisure to analyze the other party's situation.

However, to avoid drawing attention, he cooperated and temporarily put on a pained expression.

"Young Master's [Emperor's Heart Art] has become increasingly refined."

Watching the Treasure Pavilion and his entourage being gradually swayed by the imposing aura of the wealthy young man, almost to their knees, one could see them being forced to kneel.

The two elderly men behind him also smiled and began to talk to each other.

"Indeed, among the direct descendants of the main family this generation, the young master's [Emperor's Heart Art] is the best cultivated."

He has now cultivated to the perfect eighth level of the Golden Core realm.

Given time, if he can perfect the ninth level of cultivation.

"At that time, Tribulation Transcendence and achieving the Primordial Spirit will be a piece of cake."

The old man who looked like a servant nodded with great satisfaction.

The young master is a flawless High Grade Golden Core condensed after passing through nine Heavenly Tribulation, and his talent is astonishing.

Once they achieve the Primordial Spirit, they will surely continue to advance rapidly and travel a very long path in the Nascent Soul Realm.

It's not like someone like him, who gradually refines and advances from Low Grade Golden Core, and whose potential is limited—he's Nascent Soul Realm.

Once the young master achieves the Primordial Spirit stage, then the madam's lineage will finally have a true support.

"Still trying to put up a stubborn resistance?"

The young man, dignified and noble, looked disdainful as he saw the Treasure Pavilion and the others struggling under the pressure of his [Emperor's Heart Art].

Then his gaze hardened, and he focused his mind.

The next moment, the Treasure Pavilion and the others immediately felt a sudden increase in pressure on their bodies.

Thump!

A loud bang.

Under the sudden increase in pressure, the guard, who was already injured and only at the first stage of the Golden Core Realm, was overwhelmed.

Although he was on the verge of being crushed, he could no longer hold on, collapsed to his knees, and fainted.

The Treasure Pavilion and his companions were in no better shape; their legs were bending lower and lower, and they were about to collapse to their knees.

"Damn Qiu Rong!"

Feeling the almost unbearable pressure on his body, the Treasure Pavilion felt extremely aggrieved.

His hatred for Qiu Rong also surged.

If it weren't for this traitor destroying the surrounding array with that Black Array Disk...

With the support of the powerful formation, how could she allow herself to be bullied like this, with almost no power to resist!

Seeing the struggles of the Treasure Pavilion and the others, Lu Qing sighed inwardly.

He didn't mind pretending to be uncomfortable to avoid attracting attention.

However, kneeling down like that is absolutely unacceptable.

Just as Lu Qing was about to make a move, his mind stirred, and the surging magical power subsided.

Immediately afterwards, a loud voice suddenly rang out.

"Hehe, I never expected that a talented man from the Gongshu Family would be interested in traveling to my small town in the lower realm. It is truly an honor for me."

As the voice faded, another figure appeared in the sky.

He appeared out of thin air and stood before the three elegant young men.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, tall and with rugged features.

As the middle-aged man in black robes appeared, the Treasure Pavilion and the others immediately felt the pressure on their bodies decrease, and they were able to stand up straight.

"It's the City Lord!"

The Treasure Pavilion and the others were greatly relieved to see the middle-aged man in black robes appear.

A sense of relief, like surviving a disaster, rose from the bottom of my heart.

If the city lord had arrived even a few breaths later, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on and would have collapsed to their knees, suffering severe mental and physical damage.

"Is this the city lord of Azure Wave City?"

Lu Qing's mind stirred slightly, and he quietly activated his Supernatural Ability.

Soon, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes as he looked at the note that had appeared in his field of vision.

"At the first stage of the Primordial Spirit Tribulation, the cultivation level of this Azure Wave City is a level higher than that of the two old men."

"Young master, be careful!"

Upon seeing the middle-aged man in black robes appear, the two elderly men behind the elegant young man Gongshu Yu immediately changed their expressions and stood in front of him.

They could sense that the aura emanating from the other party was extremely dangerous.

Nangong Yuanwu, who was cultivating in seclusion in the lower realm, has actually made a breakthrough?

The two old men had the same thought at the same time.

According to the information they had, when Nangong Yuanwu was banished to the mortal realm, he was at the initial stage of the Nascent Primordial Spirit realm, just like them.

Unexpectedly, after spending a hundred years in this Small Azure Realm with its sparse spiritual energy, he actually broke through and entered the First Tribulation Realm!

"Butler Cai, don't worry, I believe Lord Nangong won't do anything reckless."

After all, we came here to help the city lord capture Demon Clan spies.

This is a matter of great principle; Lord Nangong should not be unaware of right and wrong.

Gongshu Yu, however, remained calm and smiled as he spoke.

However, what he said was rather intriguing.

"Oh? Are there Demon Clan spies in my Azure Wave City? How come I didn't know?"

The Lord of Azure Wave City asked indifferently.

"Lord Nangong is joking. The Demonic Qi below is so obvious, don't tell me you didn't see it?"

Gongshu Yu paused for a moment, his smile fading slightly.

"Is there?"

With a flick of his sleeve, the Azure Wave City sent out a streak of light that landed on the black light that still exuded a terrifying and eerie aura.

The next moment, the black light melted away like snow under the scorching sun, eventually disappearing completely.

After doing all this, the Azure Wave City continued slowly, "How come I didn't see it?"

Seeing this, Gongshu Yu's face also turned cold.

"It seems that Lord Nangong is going to protect these Demon Clan spies from the Treasure Pavilion?"

"If I were to report this matter to the Punishment Hall, would the City Lord be able to bear the consequences?"

"Let's talk after you report it," the Azure Wave City said indifferently. "Besides, are you sure you can leave my Azure Wave City?"

The moment those words were spoken, the surrounding air suddenly became frigid.

An extremely dangerous aura emanated from the Azure Wave City.

Gongshu Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

The two old men who were blocking Gongshu Yu's way both trembled and looked at each other as if facing a formidable enemy.

One of the older men even shouted loudly.

"Nangong Yuanwu, how dare you touch our young master? Do you want your Nangong Family to go to war with our Gongshu Family?!"

"To wage war against your Gongshu Family?" The Azure Wave City said with a half-smile, "Do you, a mere Golden Core Realm, have the weight to do so?"

The Leng Yi in his eyes sent a chill down the spines of the two old men.

They suddenly regretted their overconfidence.

After breaking through his cultivation level, Nangong Yuanwu seemed to have become more unrestrained in his temperament.

It seemed that they had no regard for the Gongshu Family at all and truly wanted to attack them.

The old man continued to shout, "Nangong Yuanwu, Young Master Yu is the Dao Child of our direct lineage. If you dare to touch him, just wait for our Gongshu Family to declare war on your Nangong Family!"

"Dao Child?"

The Azure Wave City's gaze fell on Gongshu Yu.

A few breaths later, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

"So that's how it is. You've cultivated the [Emperor's Heart Art], no wonder you're so arrogant and dare to cause trouble on my territory."

Kid, let me give you a piece of advice: there's always someone better than you.

Don't think you're so great just because you have some cultivation level. I'll crush you if you don't!

Upon hearing this, the entire city fell silent.

Everyone was stunned by the domineering words of the Azure Wave City.

Even Lu Qing was quite surprised.

This Azure Wave City seems to be acting rather unusually.

As for Gongshu Yu, his face turned even more ugly.

He hadn't expected that Nangong Yuanwu would be such a reckless scoundrel.

Not only did they show no regard for the relationship between the two families, but they also dared to humiliate him in public!

Gongshu Yu had never been so publicly humiliated before!

An uncontrollable surge of anger rose within him.

"It seems that City Lord Nangong is determined to protect these wicked creatures from the Treasure Pavilion," Gongshu Yu said coldly.

"Kid, do you think a demon is a demon? If you keep making a fuss, I might really crush you!"

Seeing that he was still arguing, the Azure Wave City turned cold and stared at Gongshu Yu.

"Fine, very well!" However, Gongshu Yu was completely oblivious, and instead laughed in anger, "No one has ever dared to insult me, Gongshu Yu, like this!"

"Nangong Yuanwu, you are nothing but a Nascent Soul Realm with limited potential, an old fellow who was banished to this lower realm by the Nangong Family to eke out a living. How dare you insult me?"

"Since you insist on protecting these Demon Clan spies, then I will capture you as well, and then file a complaint with the Punishment Hall against your Nangong Family for daring to collude with the Demon Clan!"

After saying this, Gongshu Yu suddenly tore off a jade pendant engraved with mysterious runes from his neck.

Then he bit his tongue, forcing out a stream of blood and essence, which he then sprayed onto the surface.

"The Guardian Jade Talisman! Young Master, you mustn't!"

The two old men were shocked to see this and tried to stop Gongshu Yu.

However, it was too late.

Gongshu Yu was able to activate the Magic Art and put the jade tablet into motion.

The next moment, an incomparably vast aura emerged from the jade tablet.

"Butler Cai, Steward, you don't need to stop me. This scoundrel dares to insult me like this. If I just swallow this insult, my Dao Heart will surely be damaged."

The [Emperor's Heart Art] will also find it difficult to make any further progress.

Only by capturing this fiend can I vent the hatred in my heart!

Upon hearing this, the two elderly men paused in their movements.

I recalled the unique nature of the [Emperor's Heart Art].

They knew that there was truly no turning back now.

"Guardian Jade Talisman?!"

The Azure Wave City was equally startled when he sensed the aura emanating from the Jade Talisman in Gongshu Yu's hand.

Just as he was about to make a move, the two old men who had been extremely wary of him suddenly stepped forward to meet him.

"Don't even think about it!"

The two joined forces, unleashing layers of magical power and light to block the path of the Azure Wave City.

It will take some time for the young master to activate the Guardian Jade Talisman.

They need to buy the young master some time.

"Get out of my way!"

The Azure Wave City's gaze was icy, and the sleeves of his black robe, which had transformed into a river of abyss, blasted towards the two old men.

Boom!

The clash between the three Nascent Soul Realm caused the spiritual energy above Azure Wave City to surge violently, even distorting the laws of nature.

The immense power emanated from it, causing all the cultivators in the city below to feel their legs go weak.

Apart from those at the Golden Core Realm and above who could barely stand,

The rest of the cultivators collapsed to the ground, their eyes filled with fear as they watched the battle unfolding in the sky.

The mere leakage of aura during a battle between the Nascent Soul Realm experts is something that low-level cultivators like them cannot withstand.

If it weren't for the powerful array protecting Azure Wave City...

At this point, they probably don't know how many of them are going to die.

"How did things get to this point?"

Treasure Pavilion, the Tianji Workshop Master, who had originally come to see the Treasure Pavilion and his companions in their defeated state, looked at the sky in disbelief.

At the same time, I was filled with immense fear.

He never imagined that what was originally just a plan to eliminate the Treasure Pavilion would turn into such a battle at the Nascent Soul Realm.

If anything were to happen to Young Master Yu because of this, he would probably die ten times over and still not be able to atone for this sin.

Amidst the violent explosion of spiritual energy, the two elders could no longer maintain their balance and were forced to retreat rapidly.

Once he regained his balance, the shock on his face was hard to conceal.

The difference between entering the initial stage of the Primordial Spirit and the first tribulation of the Primordial Spirit realm is only one level.

The vast difference in their strength shocked them.

Even when the two of them joined forces, they were still unable to completely block the opponent's attack.

However, being able to block this attack was enough for them.

Despite forcing two Nascent Soul Realm back with a single blow, the Azure Wave City showed no sign of triumph.

Instead, his gaze became extremely solemn as he looked towards where Gongshu Yu was.

At this moment, the jade tablet in Gongshu Yu's hand had disappeared.

Only wisps of jade powder remained, drifting in the air.

Beside him stood an old man with an indifferent expression and a somewhat ethereal and distorted figure, his hands behind his back.

"Guardian Jade Talisman".

The Azure Wave City stared intently at the figure.

He was naturally familiar with the Guardian Jade Talisman.

This is a protective treasure specially crafted by various families in the upper realm for their outstanding disciples.

Jade Talisman often contain the Primordial Spirit Primordial Spirit power of an unparalleled expert who has undergone at least three tribulations of primordial spirit cultivation.

After being activated by bloodline, the Primordial Spirit power within the Jade Talisman can be summoned to slay enemies.

It is one of the strongest protective measures that many powerful families in the upper realm give to their core disciples.

He just didn't expect that Gongshu Yu would have a Guardian Jade Talisman on him.

What surprised him even more was that it would use it here without any hesitation.
