Free Web NovelChapter 351: Phoenix City
"I didn’t expect this Earth Core Milk to possess such immense power, allowing me to advance a realm in just a hundred breaths. However, Shangguan Nan and the others outside the cave are currently battling the Demonic Lizard. If I were to go out now, wouldn’t I be exposed to their sight? It seems I’ll have to figure out a way to escape." Wang Yufan thought this, slowly moving his steps towards the direction of the cave entrance.
As Wang Yufan moved outwards, the rumbling sounds outside the cave continued to reverberate. Wang Yufan knew that the battle outside was intense. But for Wang Yufan, all of this was his chance to escape.
Regarding the battle outside, after Shangguan Nan consumed the Ultimate Ascension Pill, his combat power was exceptionally high. Under several rounds of attacks, the Demonic Lizard finally showed signs of weakness and fled in the opposite direction of the Cave.
Shangguan Nan and the others also pursued it. Wang Yufan saw this, and with a flash of his figure, he directly headed east.
After about a quarter of an hour, Shangguan Nan, Sima Chun, and Zhang Dao finally slew the Demonic Lizard.
"Damn it, this Demonic Lizard is truly a cunning beast, making the three of us chase it for so long," Sima Chun cursed.
Just as the few of them were panting, Zhang Dao slapped his thigh and said, "Oh no, the three of us were led here by this beast, and that boy named Wang Yufan is still in that Cave."
"Really, our attention was drawn here by this beast, and it looks like Wang Yufan is about to leave," Zhang Dao said.
"Quick, chase him! That boy’s talent is terrifying. If we let him leave today, then our lives might not be so easy in the future," Shangguan Nan said in a deep voice.
Hearing Shangguan Nan’s words, Sima Chun said, "That’s impossible, right? No matter how strong that kid’s talent is, he’s only at the first level of the Yuankun Realm. There’s a Heavenly Tribulation between the Yuanji Realm and the Yuandao Realm that most people can’t break through. And it must have taken Brother Shangguan and Brother Zhang Dao a great deal of effort to break through this realm, right?"
Hearing Sima Chun’s words, Zhang Dao and Shangguan Nan also nodded, but everyone was well aware of Wang Yufan’s talent and abilities.
While speaking, the three of them had already rushed towards the Cave at high speed. When they arrived, they found the Cave was already empty.
"What is this?" Sima Chun came to the side of a pool, but there were only a few drops of liquid beside the pool.
As Sima Chun spoke, Shangguan Nan and Zhang Dao also arrived in front of Sima Chun. But when Sima Chun saw the liquid in the pool, he exclaimed in surprise, "This is actually Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Core Milk! Looking at this, there should have been a pool here originally. But now, it’s only dripping outside like this."
Hearing Shangguan Nan’s words, Sima Chun and Zhang Dao were both shocked, saying, "This place actually contained Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Core Milk? How could there be such a wondrous treasure of heaven and earth here? No wonder that Demonic Lizard could have a cultivation of the fifth level of the Yuandao Realm."
"Not good! If that’s the case, then the Earth Core Milk here is gone now. Has someone else taken what was inside?" Zhang Dao said.
"It must have been that Wang Yufan who took it. There was at least a pool full of Earth Core Milk here. If he utilizes all of such a treasure, wouldn’t his strength be able to rise to a very high realm?" Sima Chun also said.
And hearing their words, Shangguan Nan’s brows furrowed tightly, and then he said, "It would be fine if this person had no grievances with us, but I presume you all have seen that this person has a very great enmity with us. From the moment we chased him today, this grudge has already been formed. Therefore, we cannot let him leave safely like this."
After Shangguan Nan finished speaking, his figure flashed and he directly headed in the direction he sensed.
Seeing Shangguan Nan’s actions, Sima Chun and Zhang Dao also quickly followed.
At this moment, Wang Yufan had already advanced about a hundred thousand li at his extremely fast speed. Wang Yufan had now reached the border region of the Mingyue Empire.
Although Wang Yufan had already reached the peak of the second level of the Yuankun Realm, such rapid travel still consumed a lot of his spiritual energy.
And on the road not far from Wang Yufan.
A team of about a dozen people was moving in the same direction as Wang Yufan.
And when Wang Yufan saw them, he immediately stopped. He was not very familiar with this place.
When these people saw Wang Yufan, they didn’t pay too much attention. They also had urgent matters. Wang Yufan didn’t reveal his cultivation, so everyone thought he was an ordinary cultivator.
Wang Yufan stood in front of the crowd, cupped his hands, and said to the person riding a Fire Dragon Steed in front, "May I ask, brother, where is this place?"
And hearing Wang Yufan’s voice, the middle-aged man sitting on the Fire Dragon Steed frowned and said, "Don’t block the way, go ask someone else." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he looked at the people behind him and said, "Brothers, continue forward. We need to reach Feng City before dark."
Wang Yufan saw that the middle-aged man ignored him, so Wang Yufan didn’t press further. He had already heard that moving forward would lead to Feng City. Although he didn’t know which power it belonged to, it was the only path he could take for now. He didn’t know if the three people behind him were still chasing him.
Just after this group of people left, a gilded sedan chair was carried behind their procession. As this sedan chair passed by Wang Yufan, a pair of eyes inside it scrutinized him. But Wang Yufan didn’t pay attention. Wang Yufan didn’t join them, but followed closely behind them.
As for Shangguan Nan and the others, Wang Yufan wouldn’t care too much for now, because he had gone in several directions during his escape and left his aura in each direction.
After about half a day, Wang Yufan followed this group of people until they reached a very prosperous city. What surprised Wang Yufan was that the city gate guards were actually cultivators of the Life and Death Realm. Wang Yufan instantly felt that this Feng City was definitely not simple. Although such cultivation was not at the bottom of the Primordial Spirit Realm, it was still considered mid-to-lower tier. For them to be guarding the city gate, then this Feng City definitely did not belong to the Mingyue Empire.
Wang Yufan watched as the group in front of him entered, and then he followed them in. But just as he entered the city gate, he was directly stopped by the two guards.
"Boy, hand over your Feng City entry and exit pass," a cultivator said. Hearing this, Wang Yufan was immediately stunned.
"What is an entry and exit pass?" Wang Yufan asked.
"Boy, you don’t even know what a Feng City entry and exit pass is. You must be an outsider at first glance. Forget it, considering you’re an outsider, you only need to pay fifty Origin Stones, and then enter the city to get an entry and exit pass made at the Feng City Administrator’s office.
You see, those people’s passes are on their chests." The cultivator finished speaking and looked at Wang Yufan.
Wang Yufan felt that these two gate guards were so greedy. But he had no choice, so he scanned his storage bag with his divine sense.
"Sigh, it’s really inconvenient not having Origin Stones when I go out. I only have sixty Origin Stones left here. If I take out fifty, then I’ll only have ten left," Wang Yufan secretly muttered.
It seems I need to earn some money. It’s really very inconvenient without Origin Stones.
Wang Yufan directly took out fifty spiritual stones and gave them to the two Life and Death Realm gate-guarding cultivators.
The people entering and exiting the city gate kept muttering when they saw this scene: "Sigh, someone else is going to be scammed by these two."
Wang Yufan also heard these words, but he was already in this situation. There was nothing he could do; he could only swallow this bitter pill.
After giving the Origin Stones to the two cultivators, Wang Yufan successfully entered Feng City.
