CHAPTER 290: 288. TWO DIVINE PROFOUNDS ENTER THE CITY (2/4)

When everyone was startled by the angry shout and crouched down, the group of demons slowly landed.

The golden winged snake’s eyes were fixed ahead, its gaze landing on—Yun Liao.

Shortly after, Nangong Wentian jumped down from the head of the golden winged snake, his gaze also directed at Yun Liao, because Yun Liao was the only one in the Profound Realm among this group.

The Profound Realm still had a high status even in the Mitian Sect.

In this Barbaric Land, it was naturally even more of a rarity.

Anyone who wasn’t a fool could see at a glance that this person had an unusual status in Cangwu City.

Nangong Wentian asked coldly, "There’s actually someone in the Profound Realm. Kid, tell me your background, and I might spare your life!"

But before Yun Liao could speak, Murong Xi quickly spoke, "Senior, we are from the City Lord’s Mansion in Cangwu City... we are just delivering food."

"Did I ask you?"

Nan Hao cast a cold glance over, and just that look made Murong Xi’s body tremble. Accompanied by the pressure of the Divine Profound Realm, he immediately knelt to the ground with a thud. Yun Liao wanted to intervene, but he understood that everyone present was in a higher realm than him, especially the person questioning him.

That feeling, even Shami, who temporarily broke through to the Divine Profound Realm in the Immortal Sect, had never possessed.

It was calm, yet it hid turbulent waves.

If he acted rashly, he couldn’t guarantee the survival of himself and Murong Xi.

Moreover, everyone around looked up to him, which further indicated his unusual status and power; rash resistance would only backfire.

Nangong Wentian looked coldly at Yun Liao, then asked calmly, "Since you’re in the Profound Realm, do you know of the Immortal Sect?"

"I do."

"Tell me what you know, and I might spare you, or even let you join the Mitian Sect. It would be much more satisfying than being the City Lord of a small city."

Yun Liao was taken aback.

Pondering: So he thinks I’m the City Lord.

Without hesitation, Yun Liao responded, "There’s a senior in the Immortal Sect, very powerful."

"Very powerful? Haha."

Nangong Wentian chuckled lightly, unconcerned.

Then, Nan Hao quickly asked, "What realm is he in?"

Yun Liao very "obediently" responded, "I don’t know, just that it’s above the Divine Profound Realm, possibly even stronger. Everyone who goes there seeking revenge ends up dead at the Immortal Sect."

Hearing Yun Liao’s words, Nangong Wentian laughed again.

Above the Divine Profound?

Would such a person stay in this small place?

"But it’s indeed a bit interesting."

After saying that, Nangong Wentian turned around, no longer looking at Yun Liao, and addressed the two behind him, "Ge Hua, Nan Meng, you two go first and lure that person out. If he’s just putting on a front, then bring him directly, alive. In any case, do whatever it takes to draw him out."

The two men in blood-red clothes nodded.

"Yes!"

After responding in unison, they immediately mounted the giant demon and soared towards Cangwu City.

Nan Hao hurriedly asked from the side, "Aren’t we going directly?"

"Just rushing over? Do you think that gold chief or I am stupid? He wants to be the oriole... there’s no way."

Nangong Wentian sneered.

Once they were gone, Nangong Wentian said to Yun Liao, "You, stay here, you’re not allowed to go anywhere; the food your city’s people are counting on won’t make it."

Hearing this, Yun Liao’s face changed.

This powerful giant demon team intends to massacre the city?

Elsewhere, as Cangwu City came into view, Ge Hua spoke indifferently from atop the giant demon, "For such a small city to actually hide someone in the Divine Profound Realm, I’ve never seen such a thing."

A Divine Profound Realm named Nan Meng nearby responded, "Indeed, it’s my first time in such a small place... In any case, luring is the priority. After all, this is his domain."

"Rest assured, luring is my specialty!"

With that, Ge Hua suddenly leaped into the air, over the head of the giant demon, and descended toward the city wall like a falling meteor!

Boom!

As Ge Hua landed, the area within a hundred meters was reduced to ruins under the shock of vein qi.

The twenty to thirty meter high city wall was instantly smashed into heaps of rubble, creating an apocalyptic scene.

The citizens fled in all directions upon hearing the noise; as Huan Cheng heard the commotion, he immediately led people over, but upon seeing the Divine Profound Realm in the ruins, his expression wasn’t pleasant.

Before he could react, however, the long blade formed of vein qi slashed down on the remaining section of the city wall.

Boom!

The blade fell.

Everything was turned to ruins.

Immediately, Ge Hua angrily shouted, "People of the Immortal Sect, come out for me!"

He was an expert at luring.

If the people of the Immortal Sect were nearby, this commotion was unmistakable.

His voice was like thunder, covering the entire city with his roar.

Outside the city, the two giant demons frightened the citizens into rushing toward the Immortal Sect.

For that was the safest place!

At this moment on Yunlan Mountain, Wen Ping clearly heard the voice, and Hua Zixun, beside him, did too. From Yunlan Mountain, overlooking the distance, they saw the two giant demons and the ruined city wall of Cangwu City, which instantly changed Hua Zixun’s expression, prioritizing this over the Cultivation Technique matter.

"Here we go again."

Wen Ping sighed helplessly.

Then he stood up and shouted, "Elder Qin Shan!"

At the call, Qin Shan transformed into his great demon form and flew to the square, and Wen Ping set off towards the city wall with the Mountain Dog and Evil Spirit Knight.

Seeing Wen Ping move, the people of Cangwu City immediately burst into cheers.

"Sect Leader Wen is here!"

"The end of those giant demons has come."

The citizens cheered.

Ge Hua, being in the Divine Profound Realm, sneered coldly. He couldn’t understand whether these ordinary people were truly ignorant or just pretending to be. Didn’t they know what the Divine Profound Realm meant?

But upon seeing that someone from the Immortal Sect had indeed come, he quickly retracted his Meridian Gate and jumped onto a standing house that had not collapsed from the aftershock. Concentrating his gaze on Wen Ping, he was taken aback by the youthful face—so young, younger than most disciples in Mitian, yet he was the one stirring up storms recently.

"Are you the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect?"

Wen Ping did not answer, merely looked coldly at him and asked, "Who are you people?"

"You don’t need to know. I’ll tell you now, call out the people behind you and hand over what you obtained in the Secret Realm and that Flame Technique. Then we’ll spare you." Luring was one of the objectives here, and obtaining the treasures from the Secret Realm and the Flame Technique was another.

"So it’s for that..."

Wen Ping smiled faintly.

Then retorted, "What if I refuse to hand it over?"

"Then you’re courting death!"

Ge Hua shouted angrily, opening his Meridian Gate without further ado.

Bang!

The yellow Meridian Gate emanated the Vibrating Vein Sound, while the Vortex Map on his left wrist began to spin, very conspicuously.

Swoosh!

Raising his blade, Ge Hua swung it directly.

Accompanied by his Sword Intent, the ground suddenly rose with continuous stone spikes, collapsing many houses along the way. At this moment, the Evil Spirit Knight beside him also moved, riding the Mountain Dog to charge straight into the stone spikes. However, to outsiders, they couldn’t see the Evil Spirit Knight; they only saw a dog suddenly rushing over.
