Dark City

After the True Lord Qisha made this announcement, all the martial artists present were eager to make their move. They had guessed that Yi Yun might not be easy to deal with, but now there were so many of them, plus the support of the Divine Guard Army, Yi Yun was bound to be at his wit's end.

In particular, they saw that True Lord Qisha took out several red jade boxes. Based on the pills usually sold by the Danxin Sect, they speculated that these red jade boxes contained Spirit Opening Pill, which were enough to allow a Venerable to break through a minor realm.

"You all recognize these pills, right? There are ten Spirit Opening Pills in total. I, Yi Yun's body belongs to my Danxin Sect, and we must take it back. The Danxin Sect's medicine lineage is hundreds of millions of years old. Because of the long passage of time, it was unfortunately lost along the way, and this little beast obtained it. Not only does he not return it, but he also uses our Danxin Sect's inheritance to swindle and cheat, flaunting his power. He even plotted to kill my Danxin Sect's experts and framed them. I cannot quell my hatred without killing him!"

The True Lord Qisha's voice shook the heavens, and many people were eager to try their luck when they saw the Spirit Opening Pill appear.

"It's actually Spirit Opening Pill! Grandma, I want to make a move too!"

Su Yushi looked at Yi Yun, feeling a surge of impulse. Although he knew he couldn't defeat the expert protecting Yi Yun, he could deal with Yi Yun if that expert was held back.

Hutuo Mountain is not strong, resulting in a lack of resources. Su Yushi always believed that if he had better resources, he could become the number one genius in the Tiannan Great World. These ten Spirit Opening Pills were very tempting to him. Even in the Danxin Sect, these were extremely precious pills.

"Okay, be careful not to hurt yourself," the gray-haired old woman said.

"Don't worry, I'm just dealing with Yi Yun, there's no danger." Su Yushi stared at Yi Yun as if he were his prey.

A great battle was about to break out. As long as one of them made the first move, a storm of attacks would follow. Many people were waiting. Xia Zijian had a playful smile on his face. Although he wouldn't make a move, he was happy to see Yi Yun suffer a miserable end.

He raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Jingyue Sha, saying mockingly, "Junior Sister Yuesha, are you still standing behind that kid? Do you want to be buried with him?"

"Hmph, it's none of your business!" Jingyue Sha was furious. In fact, just now, she had received a telepathic message from Yi Yun, instructing her to approach Yi Yun and not to resist. Jingyue Sha didn't know what Yi Yun was up to, but Yi Yun had created so many miracles, so she chose to believe in Yi Yun.

At this moment, many people had begun to gather their vital energy, and some began to gradually approach Yi Yun. Just as they were about to make their move, a strange energy fluctuation suddenly came from afar.

Hmm? This is...

This energy fluctuation seemed to originate from a ethereal heaven, imperceptibly cleansing people's souls.

Who is it!?

Some people looked towards the horizon and were immediately struck by a shock. They saw a huge, Dark City floating above the distant mountains!

A city, floating in mid-air?

The city was so vast that it cast a heavy shadow over the mountains. It was filled with towering spires that shimmered with an ancient black light, and one could faintly hear the howls of ancient monsters.

As the black city flew closer, people saw that the sides of the city's spires were painted with huge eye totems, and within these eyes were eight smaller eyes.

"The Nine-Eye Totem belongs to the Nine Li Witch Kingdom!"

The Nine Li Witch Kingdom is an extremely mysterious country in the Tiannan Great World. Its land area is only about 10,000 square miles, which is a drop in the ocean compared to the Tiannan Great World. However, this small country is known as one of the three great divine kingdoms of the Tiannan Great World, along with the Lightning Divine Kingdom and the Cloud-Leaving Empire.

Although the three kingdoms were ranked equally, both the Cloud-Leaving Empire and the Lightning Divine Kingdom knew that they were no match for the Nine Li Witch Kingdom.

The history of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom is far longer than that of the Lightning Divine Kingdom and the Cloud-Leaving Empire. Over the years, the top powers in the Tiannan Great World have changed. Sometimes there are three major powers, and sometimes there are four major powers, but the Nine Li Witch Kingdom has always been one of them and has never changed.

The Nine Li Witch Kingdom is extremely low-key and does not like to fight for supremacy, but no one dares to ignore them. Historically, all the southern forces that fought against the Nine Li Witch Kingdom were defeated without exception and then disappeared.

There are rumors that the Nine Li Witch Kingdom is descended from the Ancient Secret Tribe, but it is unknown which race they descended from.

"Why are they from the Nine Li Witch Kingdom? They rarely attend the Tiannan Peak Summit. Even when they do come, it's only for the trade fair, which is long over now. They have absolutely no interest in the martial arts tournament. What's going on today...?"

Prince Yi was stunned. In fact, no matter which Tiannan Peak Summit he attended, he disliked the appearance of people from the Nine Li Witch Kingdom because the Nine Li Witch Kingdom was too mysterious and too powerful, completely beyond his control.

Especially now, when they are about to divide up Yi Yun's inheritance, they don't want to see the Nine Li Witch Kingdom disappear.

The Old Monster Qisha also frowned. Normally, the Nine Li Witch Kingdom practiced isolationism. They set up a large array around the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, which was activated year-round, sealing off the entire country. The people of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom rarely went out, and others did not enter. This made the Nine Li Witch Kingdom and the rest of the Tiannan Great World live in relative peace and quiet. They seemed to have been forgotten. Why did they suddenly appear today?

Is this a case of snatching food from a tiger's mouth? If so, his Danxin Sect would have absolutely no chance of winning.

"True Lord, don't worry. The Nine Li Witch Kingdom has no alchemy tradition. This is a fact acknowledged throughout the entire Tiannan Great World. They occasionally participate in the Tiannan Peak Summit's trade fairs only to purchase elixirs. Their people are unlikely to be skilled in alchemy, nor should they be interested in the tradition possessed by Yi Yun."

Beside the Old Monster Qisha, an elder from the Danxin Sect spoke up, and the Old Monster Qisha nodded, "I hope so."

Despite saying this, Old Monster Qisha couldn't relax at all as the massive shadow of the city approached. This feeling of not being in control of the situation was terrible. "Keep a close eye on Yi Yun, don't let him escape in the chaos."

As the Old Monster Qisha spoke, the enormous city was already suspended above Yunze City. One end of the city slowly disappeared into the City Protection Array of Yunze City. What happened next made everyone gasp in astonishment.

The City Protection Array that the Cloud-Leaving Empire had built at great expense actually rippled like the surface of water as the Dark Divine City entered, but it did not pose any real obstacle to the city.

"How... how could this be..." Prince Yi's eyes widened. As the lord of Yunze City, he knew the power of the City Protection Array. He himself had invested a lot of wealth in maintaining this array over the years. Even if five or six Divine Lords joined forces, it would be difficult to break through this array. How did the Nine Li Witch Kingdom get in?

The old snake, also observing from the shadows, narrowed his eyes slightly at the scene. "It seems I underestimated the Tiannan Great World. These ancient worlds within the Ruins of Return are not to be underestimated..."

The old snake muttered to himself. He hadn't taken the Danxin Sect seriously before, but the Nine Li Witch Kingdom had made him take it seriously.

This Dark Divine City finally came to rest a hundred feet above the central square, and several figures appeared at the bottom of the city, slowly flying down.

The leader was an old man, thin and dark-skinned, with a face like a dried-up black walnut and arms like chicken claws. His gray hair was tied into a long braid, neatly hanging down his back, reaching all the way to his waist.

Behind the old man followed a man and a woman. The man was middle-aged and had an indifferent expression. As for the woman, she was wearing a tight-fitting outfit, and her exposed arms and ankles were wrapped in white strips of cloth, which covered her very well. She had a great figure, but her face was not pretty; in fact, one could say it was a little ugly.

The arrival of the three people caused the atmosphere to freeze. Often, the unknown is frightening enough, let alone when the opponent is also powerful.

Prince Yi's eyebrows twitched, and he forced a smile, "I didn't expect that distinguished guests from the Nine Li Witch Kingdom would grace us with their presence at the Tiannan Peak Summit hosted by the Cloud-Leaving Empire. It is truly an honor!"

Prince Yi suppressed his frustration and tried to speak as politely as possible.

"Nice to meet you."

The elderly man at the head of the group nodded to Prince Yi in return. He only said those two words before turning his attention away from Prince Yi. His gaze then swept across the entire room before finally settling on Yi Yun.

The old man seemed completely unaware of Prince Yi's identity, nor did he seem interested in finding out. This caused Prince Yi's smile to freeze, and he felt left out. For a moment, his expression turned rather unpleasant. As the lord of Yunze City, when had he ever been treated with such indifference?

"What brings the Nine Li Witch Kingdom to Yunze City?"

Noticing the old man's gaze, Old Monster Qisha's expression grew increasingly grim. He was of a violent nature, and even though the other party was from the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, he didn't want to waste time on pleasantries and went straight to the point.

The old man smiled and said, "I've heard that a strange thing happened recently in the Tiannan Great World. There's a very interesting young man, and that's why I've come here..."

After saying that, the old man looked at Yi Yun again. "This young friend must be Yi Yun?"

Surrounded by so many people, Yi Yun was too conspicuous, making it easy to deduce his identity.
