The next day, Dongxuan City.
After all factions were suppressed, an unwelcome group of guests followed closely behind.
In the dense forest far from Dongxuan City, a swoosh echoed.
At one moment, tens of thousands of figures appeared in the field. Judging from their attire, they clearly came from four forces. Especially the four leading figures, their auras were no weaker than Dongxuan City Lord Wang Chongtian.
And these four were the city lords of the four surrounding cities of Dongxuan City. These four had been coveting Dongxuan City for a long time.
Now, upon learning that the City Lord of Dongxuan City had died and the city had fallen into chaos, they naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, hence their presence here.
"Attack!"
Among the four city lords, the strongest, the peak of the third heaven of God King, Holy Sword City Lord Nalan Fanghua, coldly stared at the city ahead and immediately gave the order.
The other three exchanged glances, but did not object. If it were just about strength, they would not have acted like this. However, Nalan Fanghua had a lucky son, and that brat was now an elder's disciple in the Azure Cloud Sect.
If nothing unexpected happened, Sheng Jiancheng would become the king of dozens of surrounding cities in the future. It was known that the Azure Cloud Sect was already considered a first-grade force in the Divine Realm.
"Kill!!"
"All resisters within Dongxuan City shall be killed without mercy!!"
The other three city lords charged towards Dongxuan City. After all, regardless of how the Holy Sword City's situation would be in the future, annihilating Dongxuan City at this moment would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to them.
*Chii~*
As Holy Sword City Lord Nalan Fanghua charged forward, before he could even enter Dongxuan City, thunder erupted in the void. In an instant, a terrifying spear light pierced through Nalan Fanghua's heart. The terrifying lightning instantly shredded his internal organs and soul.
Instantly killing a peak ultimate God King of the third heaven clearly indicated that the attacker was Ye Xuan!
*Boom!!!*
The terrifying aftershock instantly spread over a thousand feet. As the residual energy dissipated, everyone looked at the field, their eyes bulging.
"City Lord Nalan, how is this possible!!"
"A single spear strike to kill a peak ultimate expert of the third heaven of God King, the attacker is at least... the fifth heaven of God King!!"
"Information is incorrect, retreat!!"
The other three city lords left with their subordinates without any hesitation. Ye Xuan paid them no mind, because as soon as he obtained Wang Chongtian's memories, the four surrounding cities had already been taken into account by him.
Now that the four forces had come knocking on his door, it was naturally for the best!!
At the same time, the various forces in Dongxuan City were all dumbfounded.
"Holy shit~"
"The Holy Sword City Lord was actually nailed to death before Dongxuan City!"
"Such cruel methods, a warning to others? Damn it... that was a peak ultimate expert of the third heaven of God King ah~~"
Countless forces were astonished. Looking towards the City Lord's Mansion again, their expressions changed. "Holy crap, we originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to loot, but now we are secretly relieved. Fortunately, we didn't make a move, otherwise we probably wouldn't know how we died right now."
"Trying to leave? Too late!"
Before the other three city lords could leave, they were intercepted by the King of Slaughter. "Heh heh, it's just in time to try this move of the master!"
"【Slaughter Immortal Slaying Sword Array · Activate】!"
As the words fell, the King of Slaughter immediately unleashed his Slaughter Domain to its fullest, then merged it with the Immortal Slaying Sword Array. Furthermore, with the blessings of these God King powerhouses, the King of Slaughter's combat power soared.
The King of Slaughter, whose combat power was already enough to instantly kill a fifth heaven God King, with the sword array's blessing, his combat power could even contend with a seventh heaven God King.
"What!"
"This is... No~~~"
Before the three city lords could finish their words, they were annihilated by the sky-filling sword energy. With a thunderous roar, it was like the end of the world.
The tens of thousands of experts from the four cities were all annihilated in a single move, and the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, enveloped by the Slaughter Domain, displayed its unparalleled sharpness.
*Gulp~*
The scene before them truly stunned everyone. Their gazes looked into the distance with utter disbelief.
My heavens!
What did they see? Was this a dream? Damn it, what kind of joke was this?
One array, and it actually annihilated all four surrounding cities, including the three city lords. If this was the case, then the trump cards possessed by their new City Lord of Dongxuan City would far exceed their imaginations.
Seeing a part, one could infer the whole.
For a time, many forces and rogue cultivators in Dongxuan City's eyes began to gleam. With such a powerful protector, they would have some self-preservation power in the Divine Realm in the future.
No matter from which aspect, it was a matter of great benefit and no harm to them!!
Join the City Lord's Mansion!!
Yes, this was their strongest thought at the moment, because only by doing so could they link their interests with this new City Lord.
Moreover!
The most important point was that Dongxuan City had just changed hands, and the four city lords had perished, and their experts had been defeated. Undoubtedly, the City Lord's Mansion was in need of people. They were all old foxes who had lived for who knows how many years, and they naturally knew how to make choices.
Joining the City Lord's Mansion at this time, the earlier they joined, the more benefits they would receive in the future!!
However, they did not know.
The son of the Holy Sword City Lord had already joined the Azure Cloud Sect. If they were to know that the young city lord of the Holy Sword City was a direct disciple of an elder of the Azure Cloud Sect, who knew... if they would still be so excited.
As expected!
Just as the four surrounding cities were being annihilated, a corner of Dongxuan City looked into the distance with a face full of shock. "The City Lord is dead!"
"This current City Lord of Dongxuan City is courting death!!"
"This matter must be reported to the young city lord immediately~~"
The person in the shadows was none other than someone from the Holy Sword City. However, at this moment, his face was filled with horror. The City Lord was dead, and this City Lord of Dongxuan City had truly caused a catastrophe.
"How can the young city lord's wrath be borne by a mere Dongxuan City."
A sinister glint flashed in this person's eyes, and he then transmitted the events here to the young city lord of the Holy Sword City, Nalan Yinde, who was in the Azure Cloud Sect far away. A great battle that would occur soon was thus foreshadowed.
.........
Divine Realm, Yan Province.
Azure Cloud Sect.
*Crack~*
In a certain cave dwelling of a true disciple, a youth crushed a low-grade divine crystal in his hand into fragments. Then, a monstrous rage surged around him. His cultivation level had already reached the fifth heaven of God-man, which was considered extraordinary given his age.
"Father, no~!!!"
This youth was none other than Nalan Yinde, the young city lord of the Holy Sword City, and the most talented disciple of the Holy Sword City and the Nalan family in over a million years.
"Dongxuan City, you are courting death!!"
Nalan Yinde's face darkened. He immediately flashed out of the cave dwelling and then soared towards where his master was. Even though his current strength was not weak, if he wanted to avenge his father, he would definitely need his master's help.
After all, he knew very well that anyone who could annihilate the four city lords had a strength of at least the fifth heaven of God King. However, he had no worries at all, because his master, the Drunken Immortal Layman, was a seventh heaven God King. Even among the elders, he ranked within the top three. Annihilating a mere Dongxuan City would be a trivial matter.
However, he would never understand what kind of world-ending crisis his thought would bring to the entire Azure Cloud Sect.
