Chapter 1799: Chapter 1799 Sinless City
Ye Liuyun, his clone, and Ye Tiandao stood before the city gate, each holding a blade. They were attempting to buy some time for the Skeleton Golem while simultaneously killing as many of these raving people as possible, taking advantage of the opportunity to practice their sword intentions.
They didn’t have to utilise their genuine energy to fight these lower-level zombies. It was enough just to use their sword intention. It was merely that they were preoccupied when vast numbers of undead raced towards them.
Ye Liuyun and the others practised their sword intention until dawn.
The clones started using their Flame Force to fight off the undead.
The Skeleton Golem brought back quite a few resources. Ye Liuyun retrieved the clones, Ye Tiandao, and the Skeleton Golem to let them recuperate
He decided it was time to leave, rather than risk being discovered for annihilating a city and becoming the target of someone’s hunt.
However, the black smoke from the burning bodies still attracted a flying vessel.
More than twenty martial practitioners of various degrees, ranging from second to third stage, dropped from the flying vessel.
Each of them held a similar short blade. Despite their differences in clothing, Ye Liuyun thought they looked like they were from the same army troop.
Otherwise, the weapons of ordinary martial practitioners would not be so uniform.
After descending, these martial practitioners used their Divine Sense to examine the condition inside the city.
A middle-aged man leading the group frowned and asked Ye Liuyun, "What happened here?"
"I’m not sure. When I got here, it was already like this. There were quite several starving refugees attacking, so I just killed some of them," Ye Liuyun replied.
"Bah! Do you think I’m a fool? This was not how it was before. And it is obvious that this place has been wrecked only recently." The middle-aged man questioned Ye Liuyun.
"So, you’re insinuating that I did this?" Ye Liuyun retorted bluntly.
"You are seeking death!" A martial practitioner beside him immediately swung his sword at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun lifted his hand without faltering and struck with his sword.
In the meantime, he let his clone don the Concealcape and seized their flying vessel.
With a smooth swish, the martial practitioner’s sword came to a halt before it could reach its target. A burst of blood gushed from his midsection, as his body was severed in half and dropped onto the ground.
"Attack!" That middle-aged martial practitioner yelled his command, charging forward with his men.
He did not believe Ye Liuyun could destroy the city. He simply wanted to inquire about the situation with Ye Liuyun. Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun dared to resist them head-on, even when he was confronted by twenty of them.
After yesterday’s battle, Ye Liuyun’s realm had truly revealed itself as the stage of the third level. However, it wasn’t enough to withstand his intermediate third level.
However, as long as he was confronting a martial practitioner wielding the blade, Ye Liuyun was unfazed. Not to mention that these people’s Sword Intention was nothing like Ye Tiandao’s.
So he casually slashed down one by one with his sword. These martial practitioners were unable to lift their swords under the suffocating strength of his overwhelming Sword Intention. All they could do was stand in place and wait for him to strike.
"Retreat! Hurry!" The middle-aged martial practitioner realized they were oppressed by Ye Liuyun’s dense Sword Intention. Hence, they chose to surrender and retreat.
But how could Ye Liuyun let them off so easily?
He continued to unleash his Sword Intention, chasing and slaying while gathering bodies and Virtuoso for Black Panther.
The two first-level martial practitioners piloting the flying vessel were killed by the clone with a slap respectively. They had no chance to escape even if they wanted to.
The clone then exited the flying vessel to confront the returning martial practitioner, hacking them down one by one with their swords.
Thud, thud, thud!
Within seconds, three martial practitioners beside the middle-aged leader’s side collapsed to the ground. He couldn’t even figure out how Ye Liuyun’s sword had brought them down.
"Where did he suddenly come from the front?”
As he was bewildered, Ye Liuyun and his Divine Soul plunged into the leader’s Ocean of Consciousness, consuming his Divine Soul and conducting a soul-searching procedure.
This search turned up two key pieces of information for him.
The first piece of information revealed that these martial practitioners were soldiers from the north. The Sinless City’s city lord had hired the entire squadron, led by its commander.
Sinless City was as a hub for fugitives. Regardless of the gravity of their crime or where they committed it, once they came to the Sinless City, the city lord would protect them.
Thus, Sinless City had become a haven for criminals.
The lord of Sinless City was considered to be at the fourth realm’s advanced level. After long-term accumulation, the city crawled with numerous experts on the third and fourth levels.
However, no one, including the city lord himself, dared to simply leave the Sinless City.
Therefore, the city lord of Sinless City contracted the northern army to do his chores outside Sinless City.
This time, the city master of Sinless City intended to concoct a particular medication. So he hired soldiers from the northern army to disguise themselves and kidnap a well-known pharmaceutical guru.
However, before they could get into the Sinless City, the pharmaceutical guru learned about the medication he had to make and claimed to require a unique ingredient, the Lilac Crystal Bloom.
Following extensive searching, they learned that the local city ruler was able to supply the Lilac Crystal Bloom but demanded a hundred Alora Crystal in return.
Thus, the city lord of the Sinless City set about preparing a hundred Alora Crystal right away and dispatched someone to trade them.
They arrived in the city and to their surprise, nobody was there. Instead of answering their questions, Ye Liuyun ended up counter-killing them.
They never would have imagined that someone would have the audacity to massacre the Sinless City city lord’s men within the boundaries of the battleground.
The flying vessel they rode in had a clear emblem of Sinless City.
It was at that moment that Ye Liuyun cast a glance at the flying vessel’s emblem. He chuckled at it dismissively and proceeded to refine it, before assimilating it into his Spatial World.
And it was in that middle-aged man’s Interspatial Ring that he discovered a hundred pieces of Alora Crystals!
"What a windfall, haha! I don’t care about your Sinless City at all!"
But these one hundred Alora Crystals possessed various kinds of qualities, most of which meant nothing to them and could only be traded in for something helpful when the specific opportunity arose.
Upon eliminating traces of the corpse, Ye Liuyun promptly advanced to reunite with Xiao Yunfang and the rest.
The second critical piece of information he learned was that Xiao Yunfang’s crew had been discovered by these soldiers.
Although they were also employed by Sinless City, they were also part of the northern army and received military pay.
As a result, they immediately reported to the Northern Army quarters. Currently, the Northern Army had mobilised elite forces nearby to go after Xiao Yunfang and her troops.
Xiao Yunfang and her team had previously detected this flying vessel, but because they recognised the Sinless City emblem, they never suspected that Northern Army forces were on board and did not intercept it.
The soldier’s Ocean of Consciousness contained an extremely detailed map. It provided a complete map of the battlefield’s boundaries, as well as extensive information about the adjacent powers.
"This map is found just in time!"
Ye Liuyun quickly devised several escape and counterattack measures.
"I’ve wasted a day and a night. I’m wondering if I can catch up!" Ye Liuyun upped his speed.
Xiao Yunfang’s squad was now cleaning up the battlefield.
They just ran across a small group of bandits, engaged in combat, and effectively exterminated them all.
"I’m wondering if that guy is dead or alive!" Xiao Yunfang suddenly thought of Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun travelled to a city they had never visited before. The defence was excessively tight, unsuitable for attack.
But she knew one thing. These towns were just as terrible as any bandit dens.
Thinking about it, she regretted not alerting Ye Liuyun back then.
