Chapter 2238: Unexpected Encounter!
Zhou Yu immediately focused his eyes, and then discovered that this team of people were surprisingly all from the Divine Horn Clan.
All these people were wearing the same armor, looking like they were on patrol.
Among them, the one with the highest cultivation was a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm Early Stage.
The others were all at the Core Formation Realm.
Upon seeing these people, Zhou Yu’s expression turned somewhat gloomy.
According to the map provided by Yuan Sect Master.
This city belonged to the Black Cloud Twenty-eight Clans.
But now, a team of cultivators from the Divine Horn Clan appeared.
Furthermore, with such low cultivation levels, they dared to patrol so arrogantly in the air.
What does this indicate?
This indicates that Golden Light City might have already fallen into the hands of the Divine Horn Clan.
The Divine Horn Clan must have powerful cultivators stationed in the city, allowing these Nascent Soul Realm level cultivators to act so unscrupulously.
Zhou Yu activated the True Fire Escape Technique, concealing his presence.
And with the cultivation of these Divine Horn Clan cultivators being so low, they naturally could not detect Zhou Yu.
It was only after this team of cultivators left that Zhou Yu revealed himself.
He pondered for a moment, then continued towards the direction of Golden Light City.
His prior assumptions were just that, assumptions. Zhou Yu still intended to check the actual situation.
This time, Zhou Yu was much more cautious.
He deliberately activated a cultivation technique to alter his appearance.
Such a small trick would naturally be ineffective against those with higher cultivation than him.
But for those with lower cultivation, they would not notice anything unusual.
As Zhou Yu continued to approach Golden Light City, he soon encountered more cultivators from the Divine Horn Clan.
...
Meanwhile, in another city.
A massive spirit boat was hovering over the city.
This spirit boat was none other than the Divine Horn Clan’s Giant Battle Spirit Boat.
Directly beneath the Giant Battle Spirit Boat was the City Lord Mansion of this city.
Currently, three high-ranking cultivators from the Divine Horn Clan were seated inside the City Lord Mansion.
Two men and a woman.
The two men had the appearance of elders.
The woman seemed to be only around thirty years old.
However, her eyes were extraordinarily prominent, each pupil having two overlapping pupils.
Moreover, her irises were a stark blue, completely different from those of the two elders.
At this moment, the two elders were looking at the woman respectfully, and one of them said:
"Yin Fairy."
"Currently, we have already sent out over a hundred patrol teams, exploring in four directions."
"It has been seven days, and there has been no word yet."
"I estimate that the person should not have come here."
"Or perhaps he may have already hidden himself."
Upon hearing this, Yin Fairy frowned.
"This person’s strength is exceptional, and he is quite strategic and overconfident, he would definitely not stay hidden in one place."
"If he truly is hiding somewhere, that’s even better."
"Because once our clan completely controls this area, he will eventually be discovered."
"At that time, there will be nowhere for him to escape."
The two elders immediately responded respectfully:
"Yin Fairy is right."
"We will increase our search efforts."
Upon hearing this, Yin Fairy nodded.
Afterwards, she waved her hand, and two spiritual lights flew towards the two elders.
The two elders caught them with their hands, then scanned with their divine sense and showed a strange expression.
"Yin Fairy, what is this?"
"It seems to be a human."
Yin Fairy nodded.
"This is a task issued by Elder Tu, requesting all cities in the Northern Domain to pay attention."
"This person is a Void Refinement expert but managed to escape from Elder Tu, and also took away something critically important."
"Elder Tu demands that this item must be retrieved and the person killed."
Upon hearing this, the two elders frowned.
"For a mere Void Refinement level to escape from Elder Tu, is Elder Tu joking?"
"Indeed."
The two elders seemed to ridicule as they spoke.
Yin Fairy said coldly:
"Elder Tu and his group have now formed a separate force within the clan."
"Who knows what they are up to?"
"Originally, our plan was to use two Giant Battle Spirit Boats to quickly capture Golden Light City and the fifteen major cities around it."
"But at the critical moment, Elder Tu inexplicably diverted one Giant Battle Spirit Boat to an obscure little city."
"And claimed that something important to our clan was stolen."
"It’s simply ridiculous."
Seeing Yin Fairy getting angry, the two elders immediately agreed:
"Yin Fairy, Elder Tu has been authorized by the Elder Council, and it might not be wise for us to go against it, otherwise, it would be troublesome if we were investigated."
"It’s just finding one person, isn’t it?"
"Since we are already looking for another person, it wouldn’t hurt to look for one more."
"However, we still have three cities left to conquer, and this matter is quite urgent."
"Please think of a solution, Yin Fairy."
"Otherwise, we won’t be able to account to the Elder Council."
Hearing this, Yin Fairy snorted coldly.
"Fine, inform everyone to keep a close watch on this person."
"Also, for those remaining three cities."
"I will personally take action."
The two elders were immediately excited upon hearing this:
"If Yin Fairy were to take action personally, there would naturally be no problem."
"We will prepare ourselves, and three days later, we will launch an attack on the last three cities."
"Alright, go ahead."
Yin Fairy waved her hand.
...
One month later.
Zhou Yu found himself at the entrance of a canyon.
At that moment, he did not rush out of the canyon but found a secluded spot at the entrance and revealed himself.
After revealing himself, Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and looked into the distant sky.
From ten thousand miles away, he saw two Giant Battle Spirit Boats floating in the sky.
On top of the Giant Battle Spirit Boats stood a dense crowd of cultivators from the Divine Horn Clan.
At a glance, there seemed to be over ten thousand people.
And such a grand formation was not for attacking a city.
But to confront a cultivator with a peculiar appearance.
This cultivator appeared to be around forty years old, disheveled, with gray-brown unkempt hair.
He stood there very casually, seemingly unafraid of the wolf-like Divine Horn Clan people and the two enormous Giant Battle Spirit Boats.
Zhou Yu scanned with his divine sense and found that this person’s cultivation was only at the Divinity Transformation Realm.
However, Zhou Yu then noticed that beside this person, there were two exotic beasts.
No.
They weren’t exotic beasts.
They were puppet beasts shaped like exotic beasts.
When Zhou Yu’s divine sense swept over these two puppets, his pupils suddenly narrowed.
The strength of these two puppets actually reached the Void Refinement Realm.
This cultivator was controlling two puppets of Void Refinement Realm level?
This was quite surprising to Zhou Yu.
In comparison, although the Divine Horn Clan was large in number.
Among them, the highest cultivation was only at the Divinity Transformation Realm.
The numbers were considerable, but against two puppets of Void Refinement Realm level, they clearly stood no chance.
The only advantage lay in the formation barriers set up on the two Giant Battle Spirit Boats.
What’s going on here?
Zhou Yu looked puzzled.
