After Wu Kui left, Fu Yulong, who had been looking cold and aloof, slumped down on the steps behind him with a thud, his face turning grim once again.
Unexpectedly, at this crucial moment, even Wu Kui has come to suppress them. Do they really not take them seriously?
Furthermore, the deaths of Mu Han and the other two, and the fact that Qingyang City had been unable to be captured for a long time, even resulting in the loss of three pillars of his Sea Cloud Palace, suggests that there is likely an extremely powerful individual lurking within Qingyang City.
The fact that the opponent was able to kill two Origin Transformation Realm experts and a Fifth-Tier Formation Master suggests that their cultivation level must have reached the Origin Return Realm. Thinking about it this way, nothing is surprising. Otherwise, if the opponent was just a Origin Transformation Realm expert, he really wouldn't believe that they could kill such a team.
" The Origin Return Realm... It seems I must make a trip to Qingyang City myself."
Thinking of this, Fu Yulong couldn't help but let out a long breath, a sharp killing intent flashing deep in his eyes. Regardless of whether there were any experts at the Origin Return Realm in Qingyang City, this time, no one could stop his determination to take Qingyang City. Anyone who tried to stop him would die, not even a Origin Return Realm expert!
Just as Fu Yulong was preparing to set off for Qingyang City, elsewhere, within the Southern Region Alchemist Alliance, two figures rushed out of the Alchemist Alliance one after the other, rapidly flying towards the southwest border.
Meanwhile, in Qingyang City, as the war subsided, some of those who had left the city returned. With the concerted efforts of the Liu Clan family, Qingyang City was restored to its original state in just a few days. Of course, Xiao Yan was undoubtedly the one who contributed the most to this.
With his immense cultivation, building a city on flat ground would be an easy task. It was precisely because of Xiao Yan's actions that the pedestrians returning to the city were both curious about this suddenly appearing powerhouse and deeply shocked by his methods.
Just as Qingyang City was returning to its original state, a middle-aged figure dressed in brocade robes and with a tall and upright posture arrived from a distance and appeared in the sky above Qingyang City Qingyang City.
At the same time this person arrived, Xiao Yan, Bai Hua, and the others, who had just rested in the Liu Clan mansion in the city, were also alarmed once again.
Immediately afterward, as several streaks of light swept into the sky, the gazes of the people in the city below were once again drawn to them. Countless eyes, filled with surprise and annoyance, swept over the people in the sky. The endless battle, coupled with the constant destruction of the city, had already made them somewhat impatient. If it weren't for their inferior cultivation levels, they probably would have already been unable to resist rushing forward.
In the sky, the leader of Qingyang City's side was none other than Xiao Yan, followed by Bai Hua, Zhong Li, and others.
A group of people came aggressively, blocking the middle-aged man's way. Their serious gazes swept back and forth over the latter. Zhong Li and the others were shocked to find that, with their cultivation levels, they could not see through the cultivation level of the person in front of them!
It should be noted that among this group of people, apart from Xiao Yan being somewhat special, he could even clearly sense Bai Hua's cultivation level. However, with this guy's arrival, he couldn't even see through his aura. This means that his cultivation level must be much stronger than Bai Hua's!
"A powerhouse at the Origin Return Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Li couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Liu Huabai and the others behind him also showed extremely shocked expressions after hearing the words from the former.
" Origin Return Realm expert! Could he also be from the Sea Cloud Palace?!"
"As far as I know, there seems to be only one expert at the Origin Return Realm level in the Sea Cloud Palace, and that is their Palace Master."
"Then wouldn't this person be...?"
"Hahaha, it seems even in this rural Qingyang City, the fame of my Sea Cloud Palace is already known. That's right, I am Fu Yulong, the Palace Master of the Sea Cloud Palace. The reason I have come to Qingyang City today is twofold: first, to reclaim lost territory, and second, to avenge my loyal subordinates who died before."
Hearing Liu Huabai and the others' conversation, Fu Yulong couldn't help but grin, revealing an extremely cold smile. His gaze swept over the group in front of him, finally settling on Xiao Yan. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked deeply at the latter before slowly saying:
"Young man, I can sense that you are different from them. Although I can't quite put my finger on it, you are the first person in all these years who has given me this feeling. If you are willing to join my Sea Cloud Palace, today, I, the Palace Master, can spare your life and even give you great benefits. What do you say?"
Upon hearing Fu Yulong's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This guy's purpose was clearly the same as the previous groups—they were all here to stir up trouble. But how could he say such conciliatory things in front of them? Wasn't that just too foolish?
"I think that's unnecessary. I don't have a habit of betraying my friends."
"Well..."
Xiao Yan's straightforward answer surprised Fu Yulong for a moment, then he let out a dry laugh and said:
"It's alright. After all, you're young, and it's good that you have such thoughts and actions. However, I still want to advise you to think it over carefully. But the person I'm looking for right now isn't you, but that guy in the Origin Return Realm who has been hiding in Qingyang City until now and hasn't shown himself yet."
Fu Yulong smiled confidently as he slowly scanned the city below, completely unaware of the astonished expressions on the faces of the people before him. When had Origin Return Realm expert appeared in Qingyang City?
Soon, Fu Yulong's expression gradually darkened. After searching and probing, he couldn't sense the aura of the Origin Return Realm expert who had killed Mu Han and the other two. This was truly unbelievable to him.
"How is this possible... He killed Mu Han and the other two, how could he not have left a trace? There's only their lingering aura left in this city!"
"Haha, of course there couldn't be any other trace left behind, because those three bastards, Mu Han, were killed by us."
Upon hearing Fu Yulong's words, Bai Hua couldn't help but sneer, his words filled with cold mockery. Mu Han and the other two had clearly died at Xiao Yan's hands, yet this guy actually thought someone else had killed them; that was utterly foolish.
Upon hearing Bai Hua's words, Fu Yulong's expression changed abruptly. His gaze instantly shifted to Bai Hua, and he said in a deep voice with disbelief, "..."
"What did you say!"
