The city where King Cheng is located is called Hengtian City.
When the two arrived outside this city, less than half a cup of tea time had passed since they were in the teahouse.
As the most prosperous place among all the cities owned by King Cheng, Hengtian City is much livelier, and the guards are more stringent.
At the same time, there are a few powerful auras faintly appearing and disappearing in the city, seemingly deterring the cultivators in the entire city, preventing them from causing trouble too easily.
These faintly appearing and disappearing auras, Lu Ye also roughly scanned.
He discovered that there were two middle-stage Earth Realm grandmasters.
Such a configuration is indeed quite high.
However, as Lu Ye’s spiritual sense penetrated deeper, in an instant...
He sensed an aura far surpassing the middle-stage Earth Realm! Right in the center of the city!
"Is this the expert in the King Cheng Manor?"
Lu Ye pondered, this aura is indeed at the perfection of Earth Realm, extremely close to Celestial Realm.
Not too different from the Yin Wu Xiao back then.
From the aura detected by spiritual sense now... Lu Ye felt it was unlike the previous aura on Yin Wu Xiao.
There’s nothing demonic about it.
As for disguise, Lu Ye believed, few people could perfectly disguise in front of him nowadays.
"I have detected one at the perfection of Earth Realm; it must be the person behind King Cheng, but it doesn’t seem like a demon." After contemplating for a while, Lu Ye said.
He deliberately did not completely withdraw his probing methods, wanting to see the reaction from the other side.
Meanwhile, inside the King Cheng Manor.
An old man suddenly opened his eyes and suspiciously looked around.
Just now, he suddenly felt something unusual.
It was as if... someone was probing him?!
But how is that possible?
Throughout Hengtian City, it’s not arrogance but fact, he knows he is the highest in cultivation, and the remaining two middle-stage Earth Realm practitioners are far behind his half-step Celestial Realm.
"Perhaps the old man sensed wrongly."
Shaking his head, the old man did not think much. In Qing Province, apart from the deceased Yin Wu Xiao, no one should be able to probe him.
He and Yin Wu Xiao are indeed not much different in terms of realm; both are at the perfection of Earth Realm.
However, the divine techniques Yin Wu Xiao possessed were far superior to the old man’s, who only had two lower-grade divine techniques.
Thus, the difference in strength becomes apparent.
So, when Yin Wu Xiao was still around, the old man wasn’t as paramount as he is now.
"Not right... If the one who killed Yin Wu Xiao comes, it’s enough to probe me, but... he has disappeared for six months and can’t appear here."
In his mind flashed a figure named... Lu Yan, and the old man looked solemn.
Rumor has it that he initially came to Qing Province’s Stone Monument summit, and the realm he showed was far from the level needed to kill Qing Province’s Yin Wu Xiao.
Unexpectedly, after two met... they battled!
And the one who fell was the strongest cold-faced State Preceptor of Qing Province!
Upon hearing this news, the old man’s first reaction was delight; the demon pressing on him... was finally dead!
The second reaction... was astonishment!
Sure enough, there are higher mountains beyond mountains, even with several middle-grade divine techniques, Yin Lao Mo fell?
"It’s a pity that divine techniques cannot be obtained by outsiders."
The old man shook his head and sighed.
For high realm cultivators, a sufficiently powerful divine technique is incredibly important.
In the city.
Lu Ye withdrew his spiritual sense and said indifferently, "This old man is an upright cultivator, but in terms of strength, he should be slightly inferior to the previous Yin Wu Xiao."
"Is he the expert behind King Cheng?" Youluo said, "Should we go to him or head straight to Wu Province now?"
"Since he’s not a demon, there’s no need to seek him out. Let’s leave directly." After a moment of contemplation, Lu Ye said slowly.
After saying this, ready to leave, a dazzling beam suddenly erupted about hundreds of miles outside Hengtian City!
Bang!
The beam shot straight into the sky, even in broad daylight, it was clearly visible.
In an instant, this commotion attracted a large number of cultivators to come out to watch; many looked with astounded expressions at the beam hundreds of miles away, unsure of what had happened.
Meanwhile, some high cultivation practitioners inside the city quickly rushed to the place where the beam appeared!
Where there’s unusual, there’s surely demon... maybe it’s an opportunity!
Among those who moved first, the old man, Mo Lao from the King Cheng Manor was also present.
With his hands behind his back, he displayed an impressive demeanor as he quickly moved past the city, flying towards the outskirts.
"It’s Mo Lao! What a powerful aura, indeed worthy to be as renowned as Yin Wu Xiao, a perfection Earth Realm grandmaster!"
Upon seeing this, someone uttered a cry of surprise.
A high expert like him, for them common cultivators, is hard to encounter even in several years.
Now upon seeing him, they all displayed expressions of surprise.
In the city, Lu Ye looked in the direction of the light pillar and said in a low voice, "Let’s go, let’s check it out."
"Alright, let’s catch up quickly." Seeing that something abnormal seemed to have appeared, Youluo was somewhat excited, pulling Lu Ye’s hand and followed.
Those who were enviously watching strong cultivators fly overhead looked in disbelief at the pair beside them... also taking off into the air.
Moreover... seemingly faster, disappeared in the blink of an eye?!
"Phew... Who are these two? I didn’t recognize them just now; how can their speed be so fast?!"
The people who were just in front of Lu Ye and the two were stunned. How could there be such experts right before them, yet they didn’t realize it?
After all, being able to burst out such speed, in their opinion, is not weaker than Mo Lao who hurriedly passed by just now!
At this moment, outside Hengtian City, many streaks of light were rushing towards the place where the light pillar erupted.
Evidently, Mo Lao’s speed was the fastest, quickly arriving at this place.
After arriving here, his cloudy old eyes suddenly brightened, swiftly searching the surroundings.
A moment later, the others also arrived one after another; originally, Lu Ye and Youluo could have reached first.
After all, both are Celestial Realm, completely incomparable to Mo Lao’s peak Earth Realm.
But to avoid attracting undue attention, the speed of the two was not too fast. After arriving here, Lu Ye discovered that the source of the light turned out to be a crack...
As if hidden in the underground, there is some unknown treasure.
"There is such an anomaly here, everyone, do you think it’s a treasure or danger?"
Among those present, Mo Lao was clearly the strongest on the surface. At this moment, he slowly spoke.
"Greetings Mo Lao, what does Mo Lao think?"
"I feel, it seems more likely to be an opportunity."
