"The Sacred City has been doing whatever it pleases these past few years, and its actions are quite noteworthy!"
Lord Xue Luo chuckled, "Lord Bai Di City has indeed acted a bit excessively, but shouldn't the people of the Sacred City also consider their own actions?"
"The Sacred City's affairs are not for other cities to interfere with!" Zhu Long said coldly, "If anyone dares to disrespect the Sacred City today, do not blame me for being ruthless!"
With these words, everyone was startled. They had not expected Zhu Long to say such a thing, his aura seemingly immense, as if he were ready for a grand confrontation.
"With just the people you've brought, you intend to oppose the experts of my Four Great Cities?"
Lord Bai Di smiled, his expression full of meaning and disdain.
"Do you truly, naively believe that you, as a great city, can challenge the Sacred City?" Zhu Long sneered, "If that is your thought, then you are gravely mistaken and will pay a terrible price!"
"We have already made our decision, and there is no need for you to say more!"
Lord Bai Di stated directly, "Whatever the Sacred City wishes to do, just show us your methods, and let us see if the Sacred City truly possesses such a foundation!"
"You know not the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Zhu Long sneered, but did not attack directly. Instead, he exuded a powerful aura, "Escort the Young Master back to the city!"
Following these words, many experts nodded. The Four Great Cities had overwhelming numbers. If they were to act at this moment, it would undoubtedly stir up trouble.
At that time, it would lead to unnecessary complications, a fact they were all aware of.
And at the same time, everyone could clearly sense that some matters were not as simple as they seemed.
"Should we make a move?"
Lord Xue Luo furrowed his brow and suddenly asked.
After all, this was also the power of the Sacred City. If they could eliminate a portion of it now, it would naturally be a good thing for them.
"Why rush?"
Lord Bai Di waved his hand, "Let them leave first. If the Lord of the Sacred City does not wish to be an enemy of the Four Great Cities, we need not entangle ourselves with them!"
Many people heard this and their faces instantly showed some embarrassment. They had not expected Lord Bai Di to speak in such a manner.
The biological son of the Lord of the Sacred City had his cultivation crippled. How could he possibly let this matter rest? Lord Bai Di's thoughts were truly unfathomable.
"I can understand what Lord Bai Di says!"
Lord Xue Luo spoke, "However, since a move has already been made, it is likely too late to turn back. They will certainly not give us this opportunity!"
"Indeed!"
Lord Wu Shuang nodded, "The Lord of the Sacred City is no ordinary person. How could he possibly compromise? It is likely that before long, the numerous experts of the Sacred City will be at our gates!"
Facing these words, everyone nodded in agreement, offering no further comment on the matter.
Lord Bai Di also furrowed his brow. In truth, he knew very well that resolving this matter would be harder than ascending to heaven. However, he had already made his plans and was prepared to continue the conflict with the Sacred City, even so, he did not fear them.
"It seems a great battle is inevitable!" Ancestor Tian Huo remarked, "However, this matter has nothing to do with us, so we need not wade into this murky water!"
"I fear no one can remain aloof, unless they leave the Ancient Desolate World!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "I just don't know which is more powerful, the Four Great Cities or the Sacred City, in a confrontation!"
"Under normal circumstances, the Sacred City is naturally more powerful!" Ancestor Tian Huo stated, "However, to speak of it, while the Sacred City is powerful, the Four Great Cities have the hearts of the people and will gain the support of many experts. It should be a close match then!"
"Why do these experts harbor such hostility towards the Sacred City?" Zhao Xiaotian asked in confusion.
"The Sacred City has always been arrogant. In their eyes, the cultivators of the Ancient Desolate World are merely fish and meat that can be slaughtered at will. Therefore, the people of the Ancient Desolate World also harbor considerable animosity towards the people of the Sacred City!" Ancestor Tian Huo said frankly.
Facing these words, everyone nodded slightly, gaining some understanding.
And at the same time, Ancestor Tian Huo's expression became solemn. The clash between the two major powers would undoubtedly be the greatest impact for them.
"I think the safest place right now should be the Sacred City!" Lu Fan smiled slightly, "Why don't we head to the Sacred City now? That way, we can avoid this calamity!"
"That is a good idea!" Zhao Xiaotian nodded, "The Sacred City dispatches experts to deal with the Four Great Cities, but the Four Great Cities will not easily deal with the Sacred City!"
"If you wish to go to the Sacred City, then go ahead!" Ancestor Tian Huo smiled, "I still need to head to the Fire Domain for cultivation. That is the most suitable place for me!"
"Since that is the case, then we shall part ways!" Lu Fan cupped his fists.
Everyone has their own Dao, and everyone has their own path to walk. There is no banquet that does not end, a fact Lu Fan understood.
After Ancestor Tian Huo left, Lu Fan and Zhao Xiaotian then headed towards the Sacred City. Since they had made their decision, they would not hesitate any further.
Zhao Xiaotian, however, was somewhat worried, "The Sacred City is filled with experts. Will we encounter trouble if we go there?"
"If we keep a low profile, there should be no problem!" Lu Fan smiled.
Even he himself was unsure if going to the Sacred City would entail extreme danger, but there was no other way now. After all, the Sacred City was the safest place.
And within Xue Luo City, Lord Xue Luo's expression was solemn. Now that the Four Great Cities had gathered in Xue Luo City, it was likely that a terrifying battle would ensue before long, a conflict that was unavoidable.
And at the same time, everyone could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere pervading the entire city.
"The experts from Wu Shuang City and Bai Di City have already arrived. When the experts from the Sacred City come, they will inevitably have to fight them!" Lord Bai Di stated.
"All of that is secondary. The most important thing is whether you can summon the Wu Shuang Divine Sword from Wu Shuang City and the Divine Sword of Bai Di City!"
Lord Xue Luo spoke, "If we can bring out these two divine weapons, we may not need to fear the Sacred City!"
"This..."
Lord Wu Shuang stood to the side, his face showing some embarrassment, "Perhaps my cultivation realm has not reached that level yet, and I cannot wield the Wu Shuang Divine Sword!"
"The divine artifact of Bai Di City is also not something I can control at present!" Lord Bai Di stated frankly, "However, we have heard that Lord Xue Luo can wield the divine artifact of your city. If that is the case, it should be enough!"
"You think too easily!" Lord Xue Luo rolled his eyes, "Things are not as you imagine. The Sacred City is full of experts. Without sufficient trump cards, how can we have a chance of winning?"
"Adding the divine artifact of my Xuan Long City, it should be enough!"
Lord Xuan Long smiled.
