Crunch~
Crunch~
On the road paved with bluestone, carriages come and go.
There are many pedestrians, and the sounds of hawking and shouting are endless.
The city of Ruyang is bustling.
The appearance of time-space nodes made this a trial ground for many Martial Artists and cultivators, and Ruyang City became a resting place between trials.
The appearance of demons has not caused panic among the residents here.
Although ordinary residents are filled with concerns about the future, almost none have fled due to the propaganda of Great Wei.
They transformed the thought of escaping into a motivation for prayer.
Ordinary civilians believe that as long as they are devout enough, the Supreme Emperor of the Yellow Heaven will protect the city.
Moreover, the continuous influx of people has made this less prominent city even more prosperous.
"Here!"
Suddenly, a group of soldiers surged out of the crowd and entered the tavern on the left.
Lin Zheyu curiously glanced at the team of soldiers, noting the odd aura of the leader, who was very strong.
He has been in Ruyang City for a day now.
Lin Zheyu is no fool rushing into time-space nodes without understanding.
He specifically entered the city and mingled in the tavern to gather information.
In this tavern alone, Lin Zheyu sensed three Innate Realm Martial Artists.
Martial Arts Innate cultivators who turn to the Dao can be easily recognized.
Their bodies are stronger, their vitality more abundant, and they possess a unique aura.
This aura comes from the will refined at the Grandmaster Realm.
Bang bang pop...
Intense commotion ensues, causing unrelated people around to rise and retreat.
Even Lin Zheyu does the same.
"Stop right there!"
The leading man shouts, flicking his right hand, sending a rope glowing with blue light flying towards Lin Zheyu.
Lin Zheyu is slightly startled but quickly regains his composure.
"Ah!"
"Ah ah!"
Screams echo as a cold-faced middle-aged man near Lin Zheyu grabs someone from the crowd and throws them out.
Seeing the man reach towards him, Lin Zheyu gently furrows his brow.
He discreetly steps back, causing the man to miss.
The middle-aged man shows a hint of surprise, not expecting to miss. However, at this critical moment, he cannot care about such details.
His figure moves, and he is about to escape.
Lin Zheyu quickly extends his right hand, brushing against the man’s arm, pouring vast True Essence into his body.
This sudden change causes the middle-aged man’s figure to halt suddenly.
The rope from behind swiftly catches up and instantly binds him.
"Take him away!"
The leader coldly snorts, kicking the middle-aged cultivator on the ground, and leaves without looking back.
After the small incident, everyone returns to their seats as if nothing happened.
They seem used to such situations.
"An infiltrator in the city?"
Watching the group leave, Lin Zheyu ponders silently.
Infiltrators in Wuling City had been caught over a hundred times, but none were as powerful as the one just now, mostly around the Huajin Level.
In the Central Plains, each city has a large Celestial Observation Array with mysterious capabilities. These spies and infiltrators are discovered by the Observatory utilizing the Celestial Observation Array.
The specific principles are unknown to Lin Zheyu.
He learned this while executing capture missions, overhearing from those well-informed.
Compared to Wuling City, Ruyang City is at the border between the Central Plains and Southern Barbarians.
A time-space node appeared nearby, making the chaos here far beyond Wuling City’s comparison. Powerful figures emerging here are hardly surprising.
Lin Zheyu is interested in the man leading the soldiers.
"Demon Suppression Army..."
"Did he cultivate a special technique?"
Lin Zheyu murmurs softly.
The man’s aura is strong, likely above Martial Arts Innate, but not at the Foundation Establishment level.
Lin Zheyu secretly uses his sensing field and Spiritual Sense to spy on the man’s energy, finding it very strange.
It carries a sinister trait, somewhat similar to Yin Sha energy.
The Demon Suppression Army is one of the most formidable forces outside the city guards. Lin Zheyu suspects that the man is indeed a strong member of the Demon Suppression Army.
"Interesting."
"Senior Sister Wenzi and Senior Brother Chen Ding joined the Demon Suppression Army some time ago, wondering when they will return so I can inquire."
Lin Zheyu ponders silently.
He is very interested in various cultivation techniques, hoping they might inspire him.
"Would you mind if I sit here, my friend?"
As Lin Zheyu is thinking, a man smiles and speaks.
"Please."
Lin Zheyu gestured for him to sit.
He glanced at the man, who had a gentle and handsome appearance, wearing a moon-white robe with copper coin patterns, his long beard neatly combed.
"My friend, your skill earlier was extraordinary. Had I not been nearby, I wouldn’t have noticed."
The man smiled and said.
"You must be mistaken; I am merely an ordinary person." Lin Zheyu slightly shook his head, speaking indifferently.
