"Boom, boom, boom ~"
As more and more hands smashed down, the shield grew dimmer and thinner. The city grew more chaotic.
"Something is wrong …"
Lu Li had been observing from the distance. He felt something was off.
After two hours, he could not sit still any longer. He whispered to a Noble Lord Realm warrior next to him and sneaked out of the city.
He hid in a ravine and checked the city with psychic power. The city was in a mess. Civilians were screaming and running around. Children were crying and the elderly were shedding tears. It was like the end of the world.
The faces of the soldiers on the city walls were filled with fear. They paced back and forth on the city walls, their gazes locked onto Hu Lang. They were filled with anger and fear.
Nothing was wrong. Lu Li used psychic power to check the city again. Eventually, he noticed a huge mansion.
The mansion was luxurious. It was the headquarters of the Black Tortoise Hall.
Naturally, the ones living here were the higher-ups and core disciples of the Black Tortoise Hall. Lu Li noticed something was wrong as soon as he went in.
There were hardly any elderly, women or children in the Black Tortoise Hall. Clearly, they had been relocated, which was normal.
As soon as the Yama City was breached, the elderly, women and children of the major families must have been relocated.
What was unusual was that the Black Tortoise Hall was not in a mess.
It was only the servants that were in a mess. The thousands of warriors in the Black Tortoise Hall looked solemn and frightened.
Upon closer inspection, Lu Li could tell that they had no intention of running away. It was as if they were ready to fight to the death with Hu Lang.
The Teleportation Formation in the city had been glowing. Many people were teleported away. The warriors of the Black Tortoise Hall could have teleported away easily. Why didn't they?
Were all the warriors of the Black Tortoise Hall so brave that they wanted to die for the city?
Lu Li's psychic power was strong. After being transformed by divine energy, he could scan the entire Black Tortoise Hall easily.
"Eh?"
His spiritual will stopped at a castle, where he found a vaguely familiar face.
But on closer inspection, he realized he did not know her.
It was a beautiful young lady, in her early twenties, at the later stage of the Noble Lord Realm. She wore a red dress and a red earring, like a ball of fire.
Her looks were stunning, not much weaker than Lu Ling's. She was elegant and dignified, like a queen standing high above the masses.
However, there was an unconcealable charm in her eyes. This was a woman who was seductive to the bone.
The lady was drinking tea leisurely in the castle. Next to her stood a bald old man and two handsome young masters. Lu Li sensed that the three were only at the Noble Lord Realm so he didn't pay much attention to them.
"Ji Mengtian!"
Suddenly, Lu Li trembled. He remembered who this person looked like.
This man looked very much like Ji Mengtian. No wonder he looked familiar.
Soon, a name came to Lu Li's mind, Ji Mengyao.
Lu Li had heard that the Samsara Palace sent over a capable young lady that charmed the future family patriarchs of two forces at the south of the Serenity Plains. Eventually, the two forces joined forces to invade the Clouds Plains.
Instead of going to the Cloud State or returning to the Samsara Palace, this Miss stayed here?
Lu Li's sense of danger was growing stronger. He suddenly looked up at the shield. Seeing that it was about to collapse, Lu Li called over a Noble Lord Realm warrior and told him to tell Hu Lang to retreat!
Ji Mengyao was here and she was very stable. Lu Li would never believe that she didn't have some tricks up her sleeves.
He had a taste of Ji Mengtian's cruelty. She had set him and Jiang Qiling up without any warning.
This Ji Mengyao seemed to be more capable than Ji Mengtian. Lu Li would not dare to be careless.
Lu Ling only asked him and Hu Lang to turn the Serenity Plains upside down. They didn't have to worry about the loss of one city or land. If they couldn't conquer this city, they could conquer other cities.
"Whoosh ~"
A Noble Lord Realm warrior of the Silver Wolf Mountain flew up. Lu Li stepped back quietly, ready to retreat.
What annoyed Lu Li was — Hu Lang didn't stop after receiving the warning. Instead, he kept on attacking.
The shield was about to collapse. Hu Lang was not willing to give up.
Maybe he was confident in his own abilities. Also, he didn't see any Human Sovereign Realm warriors in the city …
"Boom!"
Finally, the shield collapsed. Hu Lang generated a huge hand and smashed at the Teleportation Formation in the plaza.
"Boom!"
The entire city shook violently. A huge handprint appeared on the plaza, and the ground sank to an unknown depth.
Several large Teleportation Formations were smashed and so were the Teleportation Formations nearby.
"Charge!"
Hu Lang yelled. He generated another hand and smashed at the mansion of the Black Tortoise Hall.
There were many disciples of the Black Tortoise Hall and hundreds of Noble Lord Realm warriors there. One move would kill half of them.
"Hmm ~"
With a cold snort, a bald old man flew up from a castle. He clenched his fist and punched at the hand in the sky.
His punch attracted the power of heaven and earth, and the Xuan Qi of heaven and earth gathered above his fist, forming a giant golden fist shadow, colliding with the giant palm print that was pressing down.
"Boom ~"
The space in midair trembled violently as the giant palm and golden fist collapsed, transforming into terrifying spatial shockwaves that radiated in all directions.
Many castles on the ground collapsed. Many warriors flew out from the castles.
"Human Sovereign Realm warriors?"
When Hu Lang saw the bald old man flying up, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He had just checked the bald old man. He was only at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm. How come he had become a Human Sovereign Realm warrior?
He was at the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm, just like Hu Lang.
"Whoosh ~"
From the castle down below, Ji Mengyao flew out and stood on top of a castle.
Several handsome young masters flew out from nearby castles and stood next to Ji Mengyao, looking at Hu Lang in the sky with a sneer.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
From the distance came some noises. The scouts sent out by Lu Li came back in fear. They shouted from the distance, "Ambush!"
Lu Li pulled a long face. He looked into the sky and saw at least more than 1000 warriors of the Noble Lord Realm swarming toward them. Lu Li felt his heart was weighed down with anxiety.
This was a trap. Clearly, someone had set it up for them. The person had predicted that they would come to the Black Tortoise City.
But Lu Li was confused. How could one warrior at the middle stage of the Human Sovereign Realm, 1000 Noble Lord Realm warriors and hundreds of thousands of regular warriors stop them?
"Let's go ~"
Since he was already surrounded by others, there was no point in hiding anymore.
Lu Li waved his hand and flew up with all the warriors at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm toward Hu Lang.
Hu Lang didn't make any more moves. He stared at the bald old man and said coldly, "You are not from the Serenity Plains. You are from the Samsara Palace?
The Samsara Palace … wants to meddle in the dispute between the Serenity Plains and the Clouds Plains? "
Hu Lang had learned about the Human Sovereign Realm of the Serenity Plains many years ago. This bald old man was unfamiliar to him. He could not be a powerful warrior from the Serenity Plains.
The bald old man didn't make a move either. He smiled and said, "You must have heard of me. I am from the Solar Dragon Island. My name is Recluse Solar Dragon."
"It's you!"
