The walls of Torch City were made of the toughest stones in the spiritualized universe. Even ordinary Half-Martial Ancestors would find it difficult to destroy them, but now, they had collapsed.
In the surroundings, quite a few people were implicated. They came out from their broken houses, but they didn't dare to speak out. They didn't even know what had happened.
In the distance, Yi Xia was furious: "Which idiot doesn't know how to make a move secretly?
Go quickly. "
As the City Lord of Torch City, Yi Xia was the ruler here.
One expert after another came from all directions. There were Progenitors and Half-Progenitors. In the spiritualized universe, Progenitors were known as Spirit Progenitors. Half-Progenitors, including Envoys, were known as Spirit Warriors. There were many of them at this level, and they were the most numerous among the teams that attacked the consciousness universe.
Without reaching the level of an Emissary, one was not qualified to attack the Universe of Consciousness. Similarly, a Demi-Ancestor was also considered to be at the level of an Emissary.
The pressure descended once again.
"Ba Liu, Yi Yao, you are too presumptuous." The person who attacked stood in the air and pressed down with his palm again.
Ba Liu's face turned ugly. "Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize me." As he spoke, a flying knife appeared in his hand and shot out.
The attacker was terrified and hurriedly dodged. He avoided the flying dagger, but inexplicably spat out blood.
The Eight Willow Flying Dagger never missed its target. Its form did not meet its intent, and its intent did not meet its form.
Although he was only a Half-Martial Ancestor, he was strong enough to challenge those of a higher level.
The person who had attacked was the Spirit Patriarch, yet he was unable to evade this saber strike.
Around them, a violent wind blew, changing the sky and earth. It seeped into the void and turned into a slash from behind, slashing towards the Eight Willows.
Bachiliu turned around and had no time to react.
A lantern appeared in front of Yi Yao, raising nine flames. When the slash swept past, one of the flames was extinguished. The two of them were unharmed.
Ba Liu once again shot out a flying knife, piercing through the wind. Blood spilled out along with the wind.
Yi Yao said anxiously, "I can sense that a Sequence Law powerhouse has made a move."
Before the Eight Willows could reply, attacks appeared in the void one after another, all of them originating from the Ancestor Realm. The flames were constantly being extinguished. There were clearly nine flames, but now there were only three left.
Stillwater??????????????????
P >
Yi Yao was in the Progenitor Realm and possessed a spiritualized weapon — the Fire of the Nine Lanterns. Every wisp of flame could replace an injury. When the nine flames were extinguished, the person would die.
Ba Liu shouted, "City Lord Yi Xia, what will happen if the springboard is activated?"
Around them, all the attacks stopped. Figures appeared one after another, surrounding the two of them. They could not escape at all.
Even though the number of cultivators in Torch City was the smallest, it would not be a problem for them to take care of the two of them.
Yi Xia walked out and stared at the two with a gloomy face: "What did you say?"
Ba Liu heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that they came out. He was afraid that the people around them would make them unable to even speak. If that happened, all their plans would be in vain.
On the side, Yi Yao's face was pale. Out of the nine flames, six of them had been extinguished. She had used up a lot of energy, but if she hadn't extinguished the six flames, they would have already died.
In the face of so many powerful beings, even if they possessed the power of the Spirit Patriarch, it was useless.
Ba Liu and Yi Xia look at each other. "If the springboard is activated, will this taboo be more serious than ours?"
"How do you want to activate the springboard?"
Yi Xia narrowed his eyes. He did not believe that other than him, there was anyone else in Torch City who could activate the springboard. However, he did not dare to take the risk. If Ba Liu could really activate the springboard, he would be finished. Even if he was the grandson of Sang Tian, he would still die. This was the taboo of the spiritualized universe.
Fresh blood dripped down Ba Liu's arm. Yi Yao quickly grabbed his hand. This scene made Yi Xia's face even gloomier.
"I can't activate the springboard," Ba Liu said bluntly.
Yi Yao was surprised.
The surrounding people's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Yi Xia heaved a sigh of relief, but his murderous intent became even stronger. "Are you playing with me?"
Ba Liu transmitted his voice to Yi Xia: "I can't activate the springboard because both of us are here. However, I can tell others how to activate it."
"As everyone knows, the springboard is sealed by eight powerful beings who cultivate the Sequence Law of the Cross Section Technique. The eight directions have completely sealed off the springboard. Only you, City Lord, or the three Deputy City Lords can enter at the same time, right?"
"However, in reality, those eight people are not the only ones who have sealed off the springboard."
Yi Xia's pupils shrank.
"City Lord, I don't need to activate the springboard. As long as this matter is transmitted to the spiritualized universe, the spiritualized universe will know that I have spied on this matter and spread the news. What do you think Lord Yu Sang Tian will do?
Will you be able to continue being the City Lord of Torch City freely?
I heard that Yi Sang Tian is trying his best to give you the Sky Devourer Luo Umbrella. Once you obtain the Sky Devourer Luo Umbrella, you will have the qualifications to fight for the position of Sang Tian in the future. "
"Once this matter is out, do you think you still have the qualifications?"
Yi Xia stared at Ba Liu: "How do you know about the Cross Section Foundation?"
This matter was not serious. It was just a Sequence Foundation that had not been ranked into the Sequence of Ten Foundations. The serious thing was that this was a secret. Once this was spread, how would Yu Sang Tian and the Seven Major Sang Tian view him?
His future would be over.
He could not understand how Ba Liu, a cultivator who had not even reached the Spirit Ancestor, knew about this matter when even the three Deputy City Lords did not know.
Ba Liu exhaled: "I guessed."
Yi Xia looked at him deeply: "You are very smart."
He did not suspect that Ba Liu guessed because this matter was not explained in words and there were no traces. Other than him, only the Door of Arts, which created the Sequence Foundation, knew about the Seven Major Sang Tian and the Seven Major Sang Tian. Ba Liu's Ten-thousand Beast Territory was at odds with the Door of Arts, so he could not have known about this matter through the Door of Arts. Moreover, there were very few people in the Door of Arts who knew about this matter.
The Door of Arts did not create the Sequence Foundation together. Every Sequence Foundation was created by a fixed person and had nothing to do with others.
The person who created the Cross Section Foundation had never appeared in Torch City.
"I can help you hide this matter. You should know that I am also responsible for you breaking the rules. After all, it happened right under my nose. I will help you make this matter disappear, but the condition is that you will never meet again. I promise you that nothing will happen to you. How about it?" Yi Xia said in a low voice.
Ba Liu laughed: "As expected of the grandson of the Chamber of Commerce's President. You want to make a deal just like that. Unfortunately, I do not agree."
Yi Xia's expression was gloomy: "You are threatening me."
Ba Liu said: "I just want to leave, leave Torch City, leave everyone's sight. If you let me go, the words' Cross Section Foundation 'will never come out of my mouth."
Yi Xia stared at Ba Liu.
Ba Liu also looked at him.
They looked at each other.
"Let me think about it."
"Impossible. You can let us go immediately. We will not return to the spiritualized universe and go to the consciousness universe." Ba Liu said.
Yi Yao was surprised: "Not returning to the spiritualized universe?"
Ba Liu was helpless: "We can't go back. Even if we go back, we will be hunted down. Actually, I planned to take you to the consciousness universe from the beginning."
Yi Yao held Ba Liu's hand tightly: "Wherever you go, I will go."
Ba Liu nodded: "I have been delaying it. Otherwise, I could have used this to negotiate with Yi Xia long ago. The main thing is to let that old man arrive at the consciousness universe earlier. He will never expect that we will go again. This way, we can avoid each other."
"I understand." Yi Yao touched Ba Liu's face with heartache.
She touched Ba Liu's face.
"Right, if Torch City sends a message to the consciousness universe."
"They can't do it. I destroyed a few springboards in advance. Without those springboards, they will not be able to send a complete message. It will take at least twelve years to build them. By then, we will already be in the consciousness universe. From here to the consciousness universe, it will only take ten years. After all, we don't need to build our own springboards."
With that, Ba Liu looked at Yi Xia with a determined gaze: "If we go to the consciousness universe, we will no longer be a threat to you. City Lord Yi Xia, it is not worth sacrificing your future for two ants like us."
Yi Xia nodded: "Okay, let them go."
The surrounding people were puzzled but did not dare to disobey the City Lord's orders. They could only open the city gate to the consciousness universe. Outside the city were springboards that could be used to reach the consciousness universe.
Someone reported to Yi Xia. Yi Xia looked deeply at Ba Liu again.
The spiritualized universe, the consciousness universe, and Torch City were the springboards for information transmission between the three.
Through the construction and destruction of the springboards, the spiritualized universe and the consciousness universe could form a connection with Torch City's springboards to read information. Torch City naturally built many springboards around it. As long as the spiritualized universe and the consciousness universe had many springboards, they could sense each other and create waves to read information.
Ba Liu destroyed some of the springboards that Torch City used to transmit information to the consciousness universe. This meant that before they reached the consciousness universe, the consciousness universe would not know what was happening here.
Ba Liu had calculated a lot of things.
However, he did not consider one thing.
Behind Yi Xia was Sang Tian. Sang Tian's ability was unimaginable to ants.
When Ba Liu brought Yi Xia to the city gate, they did not see it open. The city gate was still tightly shut.
He looked at Yi Xia warily: "What do you mean?"
Yi Xia's lips curled up: "Just now, Yi Sang Tian announced to the public that the broken base has officially replaced the Landscape Map as the sequence of the ten bases. The location is Torch City."
Ba Liu's pupils shrank. How could this be?
Yi Xia's heart sank. Yi Sang Tian had exposed the broken base. In this way, even if Ba Liu spread this news to the spiritualized universe, it would be Yi Sang Tian who spread it and not Yi Xia's fault.
"You, when?" Ba Liu was shocked.
Yi Xia was pleased: "Not long ago."
"Then why did you bring us to the city gate?"
"This place is the closest to the consciousness universe that you escaped from. I gave you the hope of this path." Yi Xia's face darkened: "Ba Liu, who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me?
I am the grandson of Yi Shang Sang Tian, the future president of the spiritualized universe chamber of commerce, the city lord of Torch City, and someone who can compete for Sang Tian's position, yet you dare to scheme against me. I won't let you die so easily. The consciousness universe is right in front of you. Once you step through the city gate, you can board the springboard and fly far away, but can you do it? "
Everyone looked at him with ridicule.
This person did not understand the city lord at all. Who could threaten the city lord?
Ants.
"Originally, I wanted to get rid of you immediately, but now, I've changed my mind."
Yi Xia's eyes were filled with coldness. "You dare to threaten me and make me ask the Ancestor for help? Although this matter will not be leaked, I will be punished by the Ancestor. Brat, I will make you suffer a thousand times the pain."
"Since you like Yi Yao, I will let you watch your woman being tortured by others."
"Catch them."
Under the city gate, Yi Yao grabbed Ba Liu's hand, her eyes dim, and she smiled bitterly: "We still can't escape."
"Instead of being humiliated, Little Liu, let's go together."
