309: Chapter 54: Scion of a Prestigious Family (6K6) 309: Chapter 54: Scion of a Prestigious Family (6K6) The Great Yue Kingdom isn’t particularly large, nor is it small.
The ancient battlefield secret realm, buried deep under heavy snow and surrounded by a thick fog spanning a hundred miles, obscured any clear outlines of its extent.
Xie Xuanyi had previously probed with Divine Thought but could only roughly discern a layout of an ancient city surrounded by mountains on all sides.
Moreover, due to the excessively tragic Dragon Slaying War of that year, these mountain ranges, along with the millennium-long national fortune, were bombarded into fragments, leaving only remnants.
Now pursued by the Centurion and his iron cavalry, Xie Xuanyi, no longer burdened by Qing Li the Little Mute Girl, exerted his full strength in the art of Sword Control to flee.
Only then did he truly experience the vastness of “heaven and earth,” soaring tens of miles with Sword Control.
Xie Xuanyi barely caught sight of the towering city gates rising on the southern edge of this ancient nation.
In comparison to the whole territory, the “Tiesuo Alley,” where he had previously stayed temporarily, truly amounted to nothing more than a sesame-sized piece of palm land.
How many people did this ancient country have a thousand years ago?
It must be tens of times larger than Lichao City.
At least a million people, to say the least.
These iron cavalrymen were of excellent quality, and that Centurion was “inescapable,” his Yin God relentless.
Despite the incredible speed of Xie Xuanyi’s flight and his full effort to shake them off, he only managed to distance himself from the iron cavalry, not completely breaking free from the Centurion’s Divine Thought lock-on.
But fortunately,
Xie Xuanyi’s realm in the Divine Soul Realm was a bit higher than the Centurion’s.
He landed on a towering tower inside the city gate, taking a brief rest to recover the Qi within his body, while silently looking into the distance, observing the directions, recording the map.
After parting with Qing Li, the plan was simple: since the iron cavalry was after him, he couldn’t let them disturb the peace of “Tiesuo Alley” no matter what.
Xie Xuanyi decided to lead the Centurion and the iron cavalry along the edge of the ancient country, making a large detour to create enough distance.
When the opportunity arose, he would make a trip to Tiesuo Alley, retrieve the “Amulet,” and then head straight into the main city area.
These Death Soldiers, though brave, lacked intelligence.
So far,
The plan was going very smoothly.
Just as Xie Xuanyi was preparing to continue with Sword Control, a familiar voice rang out from a distant alley within the scope of his Divine Thought.
“Charge, all of you charge!”
This voice was angry and frightened.
Miles away, in a narrow alley, the battle was fierce.
The walls on both sides were covered in blood, and Qin Wanyang, clad in a luxurious black robe, was setting up an array.
In front of him stood the Qin Mansion staff, brandishing swords and charging into battle, yet they were repelled by a towering figure enveloped in red luminous lights.
This towering figure exuded a strong demonic aura.
A reddish Grotto Heaven hovered above.
Streams of divine radiance flowed out like lava, spreading across the ground, collapsing the earth and distorting the space wherever it passed.
“A demon cultivator from Chi Ling City?”
Xie Xuanyi crouched at the tip of the tower, narrowing his eyes.
After encountering the group of female cultivators from Yuqing Pavilion, he had realized that something was amiss.
Xie Sheng and others had entered this Secret Realm, presumably having discovered the “Sword Qi Mark” he had left behind years ago…
Given their nature,
They would not advertise their discovery of the Secret Realm.
Now,
Not just one faction had arrived here, but even demon cultivators from Chi Ling City had appeared in the Great Yue Kingdom.
Obviously,
Due to Ao Ying’s mishap, the Human Race’s Northern Hunt had been “accidentally revealed.”
Previously at the Resentful Ghost Ridge, Xie Xuanyi had killed a group of Death Soldiers from Chi Ling City…
But he was well aware that these Death Soldiers were likely just a fraction of Chi Ling City’s forces dispatched this time.
Ao Ying, having reached Perfect Cave Heaven and possessing an important treasure, was cunning and elusive, and Prince Jiu was ruthlessly efficient.
The mission would likely dispatch one or two Half-step Yin Gods, or false Yin God Realm experts, to lead and give commands.
At this moment,
The demon cultivator who was pressing down on the Qin Family staff and closing in had reached a Half-step Yin God Realm.
After reaching Perfect Cave Heaven,
The demonic aura condensed into divine radiance, and within the divine radiance lurked Tao Rules.
It’s just a pity…
The power of the Tao Rules was not complete; it must have only gathered a small portion.
But this level of combat power was already enough to suppress the young prince of the Qin Family.
Among the participants in this Northern Hunt, the young prince’s strength wasn’t unique, likely only around the eighth or ninth layer of Cave Heaven, not much stronger than “Lin Yu,” who he had exchanged blows with at the city gate.
All the Saint Heirs and geniuses from the major holy places had already reached Perfect Cave Heaven.
Ready to condense Tao Rules at any moment.
However…
The Qin Family had a deep foundation, as the family protected by the martial fortune of the Great Chu.
Qin Wanyang being the youngest, should be the most favored, and probably had the most treasures on him.
Deep in the alley, white array patterns kept flashing, as Qin Wanyang was forming an array.
Several treasures were positioned outside the array, and the Qin Mansion staff resisted the Tao Rules attack from the demon cultivator of Chi Ling City with their own blood, buying time for the young prince to set up the array patterns.
But Xie Xuanyi realized the purpose of these array patterns.
These Qin Mansion staff, now paying with their lives for Qin Wanyang’s time…
it was actually quite a tragic affair.
Because it was a “teleportation array.”
The ancient battlefield of the Great Yue Kingdom was sealed with evil spirits, making it difficult to leave at will.
But the short-range “Space Array Pattern” was not restricted and could be used freely…
Qin Wanyang intended to sacrifice these staff in exchange for his own chance to escape.
Xie Xuanyi shook his head and turned to leave.
The Qin Family had a decent relationship with him.
But to be precise…
it was Qin Baihuang that had a good relationship with him.
This young prince of the Qin Family had previously conspired with the owner of Fang Yuan Fang to plot against him, a debt Xie Xuanyi had not yet settled.
Now, by not leading the iron cavalry and the Centurion to this young prince, he was already being “merciful” and turning a blind eye.
Just as he was preparing to move,
At the very edge of his Divine Thought-covered range, another powerful presence surfaced.
In the void, a portal suddenly opened, and dozens of people, wielding treasures, swept over from above the city walls.
