Chapter 2230: Divine Horn Clan Attacks the City!
Zhou Yu successfully entered the city and arrived at the central plaza.
He intended to find someone to figure out what exactly this place was.
Moreover, what had happened here?
However, just at that moment.
A short-statured cultivator not far away suddenly furrowed his brow.
The next instant, his gaze swiftly began surveying the surroundings, as if searching for something.
Another person from the same clan beside him immediately asked:
"Brother Yuan, what’s the matter?"
"A Void Refinement Realm expert just entered the city."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the person’s expression changed.
"Impossible."
"Could it be a mistaken perception?"
"All of the large Transmission Arrays around have already been destroyed by the Divine Horn Clan."
"How could an expert suddenly appear here?"
The one being called Brother Yuan had a cold expression and spoke in a deep voice:
"Talking about this now is useless."
"We must immediately locate this person."
"Confirm this person’s identity."
"Alright."
The person instantly took out a Round Disc Treasure from their hand and rapidly cast a spell.
Moments later, a faint Spirit Light appeared on the Round Disc Treasure.
Then, under the person’s control, the light instantly detached from the disc and flew towards a certain spot in the crowd.
Both of them also looked towards the direction the Spirit Light flew in.
The next moment, it fell upon someone’s body within the crowd.
This person was naturally Zhou Yu.
In fact, just a few breaths earlier, he could sense something locking onto him.
However, before he could react, a Spirit Light landed on him.
Instantly, two gazes locked onto him.
But Zhou Yu had originally not planned on taking action, so after being discovered, he appeared very natural.
Zhou Yu looked at the two and took the initiative to walk over.
Upon seeing this, the two showed a look of surprise.
Seeing Zhou Yu approach voluntarily, one of them spoke:
"Who are you, sir?"
"Where do you come from?"
Zhou Yu politely said:
"My surname is Zhou, I just returned from overseas."
"I don’t know, what’s happened here?"
Hearing this, the two were stunned.
Then one of them said:
"Daoist Zhou doesn’t know about the situation here?"
Zhou Yu shook his head.
"I have lived overseas for nearly a thousand years and have not set foot on the continent."
Hearing this, the person examined him once, and simultaneously sensed the aura of seawater emanating from Zhou Yu.
His expression relaxed quite a bit.
"Daoist Zhou, it’s a very critical period right now, the Divine Horn Clan wants to obliterate our Black Cloud Twenty-eight Clans, so we must verify the origin of Daoist Zhou!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu showed a look of surprise.
"Divine Horn Clan?"
The Divine Horn Clan ranks among the top three major clans in the Heavenly Origin World.
Unexpectedly, his luck was so bad, right upon returning to the Heavenly Origin World he was drawn into such a major event.
"Indeed."
Zhou Yu’s mind raced at this moment.
He then asked:
"Why are there so many different clans gathered here?"
"Is there some kind of operation planned?"
Zhou Yu wasn’t from the Divine Horn Clan, which reassured the two quite a bit, one of them replied:
"The Divine Horn Clan makes a move, naturally, we can’t resist as smaller clans."
"Hence, many surrounding small clans have come here, hoping to use this city’s Transmission Array to leave."
"But seven days ago, this city’s Transmission Arrays to other cities were either blocked or destroyed."
"Now, everyone is trapped here."
"Just received news that the Divine Horn Clan’s experts will soon arrive."
"Then surely, they won’t let anyone in the city go."
"Facing the inability to escape, we can only try to defend, hoping for reinforcements to arrive."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s expression turned grim.
The situation here seemed even more dangerous than he had expected.
Zhou Yu regretted.
If he had known, he should have waited another hundred years before returning.
As it stands now, when he left, he told Zixiao and Hei Yu to ensure the Transmission Array remained closed.
This meant he couldn’t go back.
What to do next?
Just as Zhou Yu was contemplating.
Suddenly, booming sounds echoed from outside the city.
Immediately after, the entire city’s outer Defensive Array instantly activated, sparking strong Formation waves.
"What’s going on?"
"What happened?"
Many people shouted in surprise.
The cultivator in front of Zhou Yu, without another word, immediately flew up to hover above the city.
This city had a No-fly Barrier, but it didn’t have much effect on experts above the Void Refinement Realm.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu couldn’t hold back, and his figure also flew into the sky.
Upon arriving in the sky above the city, he saw the Formation barrier of the entire City Defense was suffering massive attacks.
Various powerful Primordial Power attacks rained down upon the city defense barrier like a torrential storm.
In an instant, the city defense barrier began thinning, trembling violently.
These are signs it won’t hold much longer.
Zhou Yu’s expression changed, he immediately utilized the Eye of Destruction to look outside and upon seeing, he couldn’t help but gasp.
He saw in the sky about a thousand miles outside the city.
A giant Spirit Boat appeared.
The Spirit Boat was enormous, tens of thousands of feet long, inscribed with countless Runes and flickering with Formation light.
All these massive attacks were launched from the Spirit Boat.
Upon seeing this scene, the two cultivators nearby had their faces dramatically changed.
"This is bad, it’s the Divine Horn Clan’s Giant Battle Spirit Boat."
"Has the Divine Horn Clan arrived?"
"Impossible."
At this moment, another person urgently spoke:
"Brother Yuan, isn’t this obvious?"
"The Divine Horn Clan deployed the Giant Battle Spirit Boat, with just the city’s forces, we absolutely cannot sustain, we can’t worry about those people, we must escape immediately."
"There’s a small Transmission Array in the city that can teleport thousands of miles away."
"It’s our only chance now."
The saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food.
Facing impending disaster, who cares about others?
"Alright."
"We leave immediately."
"But before leaving, we must find a way to make the people in the city distract attention so we can buy time to teleport."
Saying this, the person glanced around.
At the moment, in the sky above, besides them, only Zhou Yu was present.
This was all the experts above the Void Refinement Realm in the city.
This matter surely couldn’t be hidden from Zhou Yu.
If Zhou Yu caused trouble, they might not be able to leave smoothly.
Thus, the two decided to bring Zhou Yu along.
"Daoist Zhou, the two of us can take you to leave together."
"We just hope you won’t cause any extra trouble."
Zhou Yu naturally had no objection.
He wasn’t a saint, the life and death of those below had nothing to do with him.
"Okay!"
Immediately, the person gazed down at the city crowd.
"Everyone, the Divine Horn Clan’s Giant Battle Spirit Boat has arrived, and we cannot withstand it."
"Now, the City Defense Array will soon be breached, everyone can flee on your own and fend for yourselves."
After saying this, the person cast a spell.
The already precarious City Defense Array instantly collapsed...
