"This kid is far too impulsive …"
Seeing how Wang Yan left without any hesitation, Xue Wuhen smiled helplessly and hurriedly followed behind.
Although the depths of the Sunset Mountains and forests were known as forbidden grounds for humans, with Wang Yan present, Xue Wuhen felt much more at ease.
After all, with Wang Yan's half-step Star Plucking soul across the entire Starsource Continent, other than the Skyroad sect, there were basically no people who could injure him.
…
"City lord, it's this person. He's snuck into Nightcome City for several dozen days and has been asking about all the secret realms and forbidden grounds on the central continent."
In a magnificent palace filled with Astral Power, there were several figures standing in great numbers.
Every single figure radiated with a powerful, brutal presence. As they wove together, the surrounding space showed signs of collapsing.
In front of these figures, there was a throne embedded with all kinds of precious crystals, on which a handsome young man reclined.
He seemed to be in his early twenties. His face was angular and his eyes were deep. In particular, his long, narrow eyes shone with a cold, evil light.
His face was pale and devoid of blood, like a piece of white paper. His facial features were distinct, and his sword-like eyebrows were extremely long and thin, extending all the way to his temples.
His entire person looked sinister and awe-inspiring, bewitchingly handsome.
He was none other than the city lord of Nightcome, Huang Gui.
Although he seemed young, no one knew his true age.
However, his strength was obvious to be able to become the city lord of one of the three major cities of the central continent.
"Who are you?
Why have you come to the central continent, and where are you going? "
"None of your business!"
The cold, indifferent voice rang out, causing Huang Gui to frown. However, he recovered very quickly and smiled coldly.
"Looks like you don't know what I'm capable of, nor do you know where this place is."
"From your accent and appearance, you're not from the central continent, are you?
If that's the case … "
With that, Huang Gui suddenly extended a finger lazily and pointed at the air.
At that moment, a speck of starlight appeared at the tip of his finger. Like a cold star in a cold night, it disappeared with a flash.
"Argh …"
An incomparably shrill and miserable howl suddenly reverberated in this magnificent palace, and it caused one to shudder with fear.
"I'll give you one last chance to speak the truth."
A cold voice came out of Huang Gui's mouth. Coupled with his evil face, it was a terrifying sight to behold.
However, what answered him was a weak groan of pain. There were no words.
"Heh, what a tough guy. I like him."
Coldly smiling, Huang Gui crooked his finger at a muscular middle-aged man. "Commander Zhao, put this man in the Ice Fire Dungeon. Let him feel comfortable for a few days."
"This subordinate obeys."
The burly middle-aged man immediately picked up the man lying on the ground like a dead dog and strode away.
"You guys should go as well. Make sure to keep an eye on Nightfall City. Once you discover anyone suspicious, regardless of their identity or background, kill them first and report later."
"Yes, City Lord."
A uniform and respectful voice rang out, and then several figures left one after another.
In an instant, Huang Gui was the only one left in the huge, magnificent palace.
"Recently, the East and West Continents have been at war. It is said that a demon-like genius has appeared. He has swept the East and West Continents, and even unified the East Continent."
"He even caused the Western Continent to be thrown into chaos, and the heavens and earth were turned upside down. He set off waves of bloody storms and killed many experts that had been famous for a long time …"
"However, the funny thing is that this man is trying to go against the Skyroad sect. How foolish. What an ignorant young man. How can an ant like you challenge the Skyroad sect?
What a joke! "
After mumbling to himself, Huang Gui once again reclined on his throne. His long and narrow eyes slowly closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
However, in the instant that he closed his eyes, the vast Nightfall City was instantly enveloped by an invisible force that no one was aware of.
In the face of this mighty power, nothing could hide from it.
…
Looking at the huge and empty lair not far away, Wang Yan and Xue Wuhen were confused.
After a while, Wang Yan said faintly, "Could it be that the Great Demon that has lived in the depths of the Sunset Mountains has passed away in the river of time?"
Hearing this, Xue Wuhen first shook his head, then nodded.
Xiao Chen's nodding and shaking of his head left Wang Yan even more confused.
"Elder Xue, you …"
With a flip of his palm, Xue Wuhen took out a jade bottle of white wine and poured himself a cup of wine. He raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
He stared at the huge and empty lair with a complicated gaze. After three or four breaths, he finally said, "Yes and no. It is said that the two Great Demons in the depths of the Sunset Mountains and the Dense Forest Mountains have existed since ancient times."
"No one has ever seen the true appearance of the two Great Demons, but it is said that they can assume human form long ago. They are no different from humans and are extremely powerful."
"It's impossible for a Great Demon that has lived for countless years to die so easily. They won't leave their lair so easily either, unless …"
Reaching there, Xue Wuhen suddenly stopped. His gaze gradually became stern.
Seeing this, Wang Yan frowned. "Unless what?"
"Unless they come across an irresistible threat or they've reached the end of their lives, they won't leave their lair!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Traceless Blood released his Divine Soul, which enveloped the surroundings and swept through the surroundings.
"It's impossible for them to reach the end of their lives because I've already looked through the surrounding several tens of thousand kilometers. There aren't any corpses of colossal daemonic beasts."
Hearing that, Wang Yan was slightly surprised. He subconsciously thought of the Skyroad sect.
This was a terrifying existence that claimed to be the embodiment of the heavenly ways and stood above all organisations. It suppressed the entire Starsource Continent.
If the absolute ruler of the Starsource Continent was the heavenly ways, the invisible laws of the world, the supreme power of laws, then the Skyroad sect was the only true god that ruled over the mortal world in place of the heavenly ways!
"Looks like the Great Demon must have come across an irresistible threat and been forced to leave its lair. It's probably … related to the Skyroad sect!"
Wang Yan's heart shuddered when he heard that. "Is the rampage of the daemonic beasts all because of the Skyroad sect?
What's their objective? "
Xue Wuhen was taken aback. Since the Skyroad sect claimed to be the embodiment of the heavenly ways, they represented justice and shouldered the sacred responsibility of maintaining the operation of the heavenly ways.
As long as any member appeared on the Starsource Continent, they would be like gods, revered and revered by countless people.
It was exactly because of that that the Skyroad sect did not extend its reach into the five planes of the Starsource Continent and act recklessly even though it was extremely powerful and stood above all else.
After all, everyone on the five planes had their own worshippers, just like the people of the Skyroad sect.
No matter what they were, as long as they existed on the Starsource Continent, they would be under the jurisdiction and protection of the Skyroad sect.
