Arriving in Heavenly Moon Commandery City, but Penniless
"Yes! That is indeed the case!"
"Under those terrifying aftershocks, even if the Desolate Domain hasn't been destroyed by now, it must have collapsed!"
Elder Mo swept a pitying gaze over Su Fan and Jiang Xueyi, then spoke to Shangguan Feiyue, his voice still thick with lingering fear!
Their hearts lurched!
Their hearts lurched!
Hearing this, Jiang Xueyi and Su Fan could not help staggering backward. Anxiety, fear, and a sense of foreboding surged madly within them, while they prayed over and over in their hearts!
How could this happen?
How?
The Star Divine Sect should be all right, shouldn't it?
The Su Lineage should be all right, shouldn't it?
They should all be all right, shouldn't they?
"Miss Feiyue, with such a tremendous upheaval in the Desolate Domain, we are truly worried about the safety of our homes. We must take our leave here!"
"As for the Heavenly Pride Battle... if all is well at home, how about we come to Heavenly Moon Commandery City to find you?"
Su Fan and Jiang Xueyi exchanged a glance, each seeing the immense anxiety and urgency in the other's eyes. Su Fan hurriedly cupped his fist toward Shangguan Feiyue and bid her farewell.
"Miss Feiyue, may we meet again if fate allows!"
Jiang Xueyi did the same.
The Heavenly Pride Battle?
Hearing this, Elder Mo looked over. The middle stage of the Divine Power Realm and the peak Divine Body Realm? They did qualify to participate!
"I'll go with you!"
"With such a tremendous upheaval in the Desolate Domain, one of the territories under my father's jurisdiction, I also have a responsibility to investigate its condition!"
After a moment's thought, Shangguan Feiyue suddenly looked at Su Fan and Jiang Xueyi and spoke earnestly.
"Miss! You mustn't!"
"That's right, little Feiyue! If that heavenly might descends again, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous?"
"Miss! Your person is worth a fortune. With this upheaval in the Desolate Domain, the Commandery Governor has surely already headed there. Please don't go, miss! Let's return to Heavenly Moon Commandery City!"
"Say no more. My mind is made up. Su Fan, Miss Jiang, let's go!"
Hearing this, Elder Mo and Xiao Tao immediately grew anxious and hurriedly tried to dissuade her. But they could not outlast Shangguan Feiyue's stubbornness and could only helplessly give up in the end!
The Commandery Governor?
Su Fan and Jiang Xueyi were shocked to hear this, but they were in no mood to concern themselves with who her father was. After a moment's thought, they nodded and said:
"All right! Thank you, Miss Feiyue!"
"It's nothing. Now that I know, I have no reason not to go! Let's go! It'll be faster by warship. Otherwise, who knows how much time will have passed by the time you reach the teleportation array!"
"All right."
Finally, a roar rang out.
As the warship set sail.
They vanished from this stretch of heaven and earth.
Elsewhere.
Heavenly Moon Commandery City.
It was an ancient city of boundless expanse, its edges beyond the reach of the eye, with a population of untold hundreds of trillions spread throughout the city!
Above the city were countless incomparably powerful restrictions, radiating countless terrifying fluctuations as dazzling light shone incessantly!
All manner of warships traveled back and forth through the void at every moment. Their numbers seemed no fewer than a hundred thousand, stirring endless spatial fluctuations as though they would never cease.
Countless cultivators came and went along streets bustling with a clamor of voices, with all manner of shops lining both sides!
Yet at this moment.
On this street.
A young man dressed in long black robes, his head covered in white hair, walked along the street with two tall, burly figures clad in black cloaks, drawing considerable attention!
As the white-haired young man in black and the two tall, burly figures approached, the entire street suddenly fell eerily silent.
Along both sides of the street, around the surrounding pavilions, and beneath the houses, cultivators turned shocked gazes toward the white-haired young man in black and his two companions!
The next moment.
An uproar erupted!
"Hiss! This young man is truly terrifying! Those indifferent, icy eyes seem devoid of emotion, like an abyss ten thousand fathoms deep! That terrifying presence he gives off without a trace! As he walks, even the earth and space seem unable to bear his existence. With every step, he crushes space and the ground beneath his feet!"
"So young, yet he has such a terrifying demeanor, bearing, and strength. Just what sort of being is he? Why have we never seen or heard of him before?"
"He truly is terrifying. I feel he isn't the slightest bit inferior to those few. To possess such strength at such a young age, and with those two guards behind him giving off such terrifying presences as well, they must be people from a major faction in the Heavenly Domain, right?"
"Aside from our Heavenly Moon Commandery City, perhaps only the Heavenly Domain could nurture such a heavenly pride?"
"That must be it. It looks like next month's Heavenly Pride Battle will certainly be lively, with plenty worth watching. I feel this man definitely has the strength to make the top ten!"
"Forget the top ten. Even making the top thousand would be enough! That would let him represent Heavenly Moon Commandery and head to the Divine Capital to participate in the Divine Dynasty Heavenly Pride Battle held once every hundred years! To compete against those top heavenly prides from the dynasty's various commanderies-just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"
"The Heavenly Pride Battle? Next month? The top thousand can represent Heavenly Moon Commandery and go to the Divine Capital to participate in the Divine Dynasty Heavenly Pride Battle held once every hundred years?"
"Heh... how interesting! I've only just arrived, and I've already encountered something so interesting. But how could such a grand occasion be without a son of providence?"
"Next month... Su Fan! It looks like we'll be meeting very soon! Heh, I'm actually looking forward to it a little!"
Walking along the street and listening to the discussions coming from all around, Jun Wudao pondered and murmured inwardly. Then the corners of his lips rose, forming a faint smile!
The Heavenly Pride Battle?
Not bad at all!
Now, he only needed to wait quietly for a few days. Jun Wudao did not believe Su Fan would fail to attend such a grand occasion!
All he needed now was to find a place to stay and quietly await that day. Once he settled this grudge, it would be time for him to once again embark on his own road of no return!
At this thought, Jun Wudao turned his head slightly, glanced at the two Asuras behind him, and asked calmly, "You should have spirit stones or divine crystals, right?"
"Reporting to Your Exalted One, we have neither spirit stones nor divine crystals!"
The two Asuras answered, their voices cold and rigid, as though they possessed no emotions at all!
Hearing this, Jun Wudao could not help stopping in his tracks. He turned to look at the two, not knowing what to say at that moment!
I'm penniless!
They don't have so much as a single spirit stone or divine crystal either, so where are the three of us going to stay?
Surely we can't start killing and robbing the moment we arrive in this city?
Do we really have to go outside the city, bring out the Nine Nether Rebirth Boat, and stay in that alternate-dimensional space?
