Chapter 2002
byThe woman herself was not an ordinary Void King Realm. Now that she was on the verge of a breakthrough, the strike she launched naturally had extraordinary power and was not something an ordinary Void King Realm could withstand.
Yang Kai took her attack without incident and even used the momentum to retreat faster, allowing the woman to make a rough guess about his strength.
“Such a small Maple Forest City actually has such a martial artist？” The woman’s fine eyebrows furrowed tightly, and her expression was quite surprised.
However, soon she didn’t have time to think anymore because the heaven and earth baptism for breaking through a major realm was about to come, and she could only hold her breath and concentrate on dealing with it.
Not long after, in the sky, huge energies like thunderbolts bombarded down towards the place where the woman was.
……
Yang Kai had fled for about a hundred miles before slowly stopping.
He didn’t know who the woman he met in this third layer was or by what method she entered this place, but since he had snatched a lot of benefits from her, it was of course better to retreat first.
The other party was at the critical moment of a breakthrough and obviously couldn’t chase after him, so Yang Kai wasn’t too worried.
From behind in the distance, there came bursts of dull thunder-like sounds. Looking back, it seemed that the heaven and earth vision over there could still be seen. Yang Kai immediately knew that the other party had begun to endure the baptism of the heaven and earth energy. Once successful, she could be promoted to the Dao Source Realm.
And judging from the woman’s previous state, it was obvious that she had been preparing for this moment for a long time. I’m afraid the chance of success was not small.
With this thought in mind, Yang Kai once again took a step forward and walked in the opposite direction of that woman.
In the next few days, Yang Kai’s harvest was rather meager. He even encountered some dangers and was chased by an 11th-order peak demonic beast for a long time. The 11th-order peak is almost equivalent to a Martial Artist of the 3rd-layer Dao Source Jing . It is simply not something that Yang Kai’s current strength can resist. If it weren’t for the protection of the Demonic Insect Mother Body and the Azure Flame Thunderbolt Jackal, and also having a glimmer of understanding of the mystery of the Spatial Law, I’m afraid there would really be big trouble.
After finally getting rid of the pursuit of that fierce beast Yang Kai had just recovered for half a day when he suddenly felt the space around him tighten. There is a faint force of heaven and earth squeezing in from all sides, making him completely unable to move.
His face changed drastically. Before he could even resist, a mysterious array suddenly appeared under his feet.
The array rotated continuously, emitting a suction force that firmly nailed Yang Kai in place. The next moment it completely devoured him.
The familiar feeling of weightlessness came, and Yang Kai finally relaxed.
Because he knew that this should be the closure of the Five-Colored Pagoda, and all the Martial Artists still alive inside the pagoda were being teleported out. So he immediately relaxed his resistance and let the power of the array guide him.
Sure enough, when Yang Kai’s vision was restored, he had already returned to the square of the City Lord’s Mansion.
The crowd around was dense, shoulder to shoulder, all with expressions of pain on their faces. Obviously, they hadn’t recovered from the teleportation yet.
To avoid being too maverick, Yang Kai also pretended to be in a state of discomfort and slowly woke up.
Immediately, there was a noisy sound all around. The martial artists of Fenglin City who entered the Five-Colored Pagoda this time, naturally, some people got great opportunities, some people returned empty-handed, and even more people died inside.
Now that everything is over, the situation is of course that some are happy and some are sad.
However, among the martial artists of Fenglin City, tens of thousands of them entered the Five-Colored Pagoda. Now, only more than half of them have returned alive, and the rest have all been buried inside the pagoda. It can be seen that although there are many opportunities in the Five-Colored Pagoda, it is actually extremely dangerous.
Those few Emperor Respect Realms seemed to have been sitting on the high platform motionless all the time. Xiao Yuyang in the middle had sharp eyes like electricity. He just swept slightly among the crowd and then fixed on a woman wearing a blue gauze mask and with a graceful figure.
The woman’s pair of star-like eyes also happened to look towards Xiao Yuyang. The two looked at each other, and the woman nodded slightly. Xiao Yuyang immediately let out a hearty laugh, looking very happy.
“Lord Xiao seems to be in a good mood.” Chen Wenhao, who was sitting on the right side of Xiao Yuyang, looked at him suspiciously.
Xiao Yuyang smiled and said, “Just so so. Does Brother Chen have any opinions？”
“Dare not, dare not.” Chen Wenhao’s face twitched, and he quickly showed weakness. Although he was a powerhouse of the Tianwu Holy Land and had a powerful cultivation base of the first level of the Emperor Venerable Realm, Xiao Yuyang was the Silver Star Envoy of the Star God Palace, and his cultivation base was even one level higher than his. In the front of Xiao Yuyang, how dare Chen Wenhao be?
“However, this small Fenglin City actually has so many warriors who can survive and come out of the Five-Colored Pagoda, which is really a great surprise.” Feng Ming of the Wuhua Palace’s eyes swept back and forth in the crowd, as if he was looking for good seedlings. He said, “City Lord Duan is blessed. Fenglin City can be regarded as having a lot of talents. Although the losses this time are not small, just relying on these people who survived, it will surely be able to support a broader sky for Fenglin City in the future.”
“Lord Feng is too much praise. It’s all thanks to the blessings of several adults！” Duan Yuanshan, the city lord of Fenglin City, couldn’t close his mouth with a smile, and his tone was extremely humble.
Just as Feng Ming said, this time the Five-Colored Pagoda was opened in Fenglin City. Although the warriors in Fenglin City suffered huge losses, this was definitely worthwhile. Among these people who came back alive from the Five-Colored Pagoda, as long as one in a thousand can make further progress in the future, it will be enough to improve the strength of Fenglin City by several grades.
He also saw his son, Duan Tianci, in the crowd, looking radiant, obviously having gained a lot. How could he not be happy？
Just at this time, Duan Yuanshan suddenly frowned, took out a messaging compass from his bosom, and poured his spiritual sense into it. Immediately after that, his expression changed drastically.
He suddenly raised his head and looked towards Duan Tianci in the crowd. Only the latter nodded at him.
And just at this moment, several other messages also came out from the messaging compass. and they all described the same thing. And these messages all came from the heads of the various great families in Fenglin City.
“City Lord Duan, what happened? Your complexion is so ugly.” Feng Ming looked at Duan Yuanshan strangely and asked.
“Several adults, something terrible has happened.” Hearing this, Duan Yuanshan quickly took a few steps forward and bowed.
Feng Ming smiled： “City Lord Duan, don’t exaggerate. With the five of us sitting here, what terrible thing could there be？”
It’s no wonder he has this confidence. After all, there are five Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouses here, and one of them is even at the second level of the Emperor Venerable Realm. As long as it’s not one of the top ten Emperor Venerables coming to massacre the city, they can completely handle it.
Duan Yuanshan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, “It’s like this. The warriors of my Fenglin City broke a seal at the second level of the pagoda and released an ancient wooden xiao from the seal！”
“What？” Hearing this, Feng Ming’s complexion changed, and he suddenly stood up. “Is this true？”
“Absolutely true. I, Duan, just received the reports from the heads of various families and came here without any delay to report.”
“A wooden goblin? There is a wooden goblin in the second level of the pagoda?” A young woman who had not spoken all along frowned her beautiful eyebrows and asked in surprise.
This young woman was none other than Gao Xueting of the Qingyang Temple. She also had a powerful cultivation base of the first level of the Emperor Venerable Realm and could sit on an equal footing with Feng Ming and the others.
“Wooden goblins are not easy to deal with, and this is actually an ancient wooden goblin. Lord Xiao, why didn’t you inform us of this earlier？” Chen Wenhao looked at Xiao Yuyang with some resentment.
Xiao Yuyang rolled his eyes and said, “The Five-Colored Pagoda is not as simple as you think. The things inside it, even the Great Emperor himself, cannot detect clearly. Many sealing prohibitions are extremely hidden. Even if the Great Emperor came in person, it is not certain that he could find them. This released wooden goblin was most likely sealed in a hidden place.”
After his explanation, the others couldn’t say anything more.
“Please, several adults, take action and kill that wooden goblin. Otherwise, it will surely become a great disaster for our Fenglin City.” Duan Yuanshan looked at the six Emperor Venerable Realm experts with a pleading expression.
“Just a mere wood goblin. Why is City Lord Duan afraid of it？ Moreover, it has been sealed for countless years, and its strength must have dropped severely. There is no need for us to take action. City Lord Duan can kill it himself.” Feng Ming had a nonchalant look on his face.
Duan Yuanshan said with a bitter face: “Lord Feng doesn’t know. According to the news I received, this wood goblin can devour the essence of the flesh and blood of warriors, quickly restore its strength, and can also spread wood seeds, lurking in the bodies of warriors. When the right time comes, it will break out of its shell, occupy the warrior’s body, and multiply into thousands. Among the warriors in our Maple Forest City, I’m afraid some have already been infected.
“Is there such a thing？” At this, the six Emperor Venerable Realm experts couldn’t help but change their expressions slightly.
“Absolutely true. This news was told to me by my son. He almost fell victim to a companion whose body was lurking with a wood seed.” Duan Yuanshan quickly replied.
“If that’s the case, then the situation is rather serious. Xiao Yuyang’s expression became solemn. After pondering for a moment, he said: “Alright, since the wood goblin came out of the Five-Colored Pagoda of my Star God Palace, then I, Xiao, can’t just stand by and do nothing. Well, City Lord Duan, you go and activate the ban of Maple Forest City first close the city gates, allow entry but not exit. In addition, don’t let any warrior who is still here leave. Let’s just do a ‘close the door to beat the dog’!
“Yes, thank you for your help, my lord!” Seeing this, Duan Yuanshan was overjoyed and quickly turned around, raising his voice and shouted: “Everyone, by the order of the Star Envoy, please stay here for a while. Several adults have something to deal with. After the matter is resolved, you will be allowed to leave. Please cooperate a lot.”
As soon as these words came out, the noisy square below instantly became silent and everyone looked at Duan Yuanshan in astonishment.
Yang Kai, who was contacting Mo Xiaoqi with the Sound Bead, couldn’t help but raise his head, frowning slightly, not knowing what Duan Yuanshan and those Emperor Respect Realm powerhouses were going to do.
However, the reputation of the Emperor Respect Realm powerhouses was really too great, so even though the warriors staying in the square were a little dissatisfied in their hearts, they didn’t dare to show the slightest bit and obediently stood still.
I saw the six Emperor Respect Realm powerhouses on the high platform gather together. After a simple discussion, four of them suddenly flickered and disappeared in place, leaving only Xiao Yuyang and the young woman Gao Xueting still in place.
And at this moment, the entire Fenglin City suddenly buzzed, and in the sky, a bright energy shield immediately appeared, like a large bowl, covering the entire Fenglin City.
