Chapter 1323 - 1324: Astonishing Talent
Yao Junlin.
Belongs to Celestial Demon City, a legend.
Years ago, he had already left the Thousand Cities to venture outside. To the people of the Thousand Cities, Yao Junlin was already a person of Divine Level Ninth Layer years ago, possessing exceptional talent and invincible at the same level.
After venturing out for several years, he has made considerable achievements.
Exactly what cultivation Yao Junlin holds now, still remains unclear to everyone.
However, his name is certainly legendary among the Thousand Cities’ prodigies.
In Celestial Demon City, although regarded as one of the dual beauties, it is widely known that Demon Heaven’s talent is far beneath Yao Junlin’s.
Indeed, just as everyone anticipated.
Only to see, the Celestial Demon City envoy bow slightly to Mo Xuan and speak: "Greetings to City Lord Mo!"
"Rise!"
Mo Xuan waved his hand, and the Celestial Demon City envoy stood up, continuing, "At the last Wind and Cloud Banquet, our Celestial Demon City suffered losses, with no regrets, which showed our city lord what a stormy place Ice Sea City is. However, the son of our Celestial Demon City lord has recently returned from the Central Region of Yanzhou, and our city lord held a Thousand Cities Banquet, inviting the city lords of Thousand Cities to celebrate in ten days, thus our city lord sent me to invite City Lord Mo and anticipates your punctual attendance at the banquet!"
The Thousand Cities Banquet, as the name implies, is the gathering of all city lords of the Thousand Cities.
As the voice fell, the envoy respectfully handed over the invitation card.
Someone intercepted it and then presented it to Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan glanced at the invitation card, then smiled and said, "Very well, please convey to your Celestial Demon City lord that I will certainly attend the banquet in ten days!"
"There is another matter!" the envoy continued.
"Speak without fear!"
Mo Xuan remained calm, and the envoy continued, "At the Wind and Cloud Banquet, your city’s Xiao Tianyu displayed extraordinary elegance, which our Celestial Demon City admires. Therefore, the young generation of our Celestial Demon City all wish to witness your city’s prodigy Xiao Tianyu, hence our city lord asked me to bring this message to City Lord Mo, hoping your city can bring this person along on that day, so our Celestial Demon City can behold his splendor!"
Though presented pleasantly, Mo Xuan could hear the underlying intention, nothing more than an attempt to dampen Ice Sea City’s spirit and recover the lost face from the previous Wind and Cloud Banquet.
Immediately, Mo Xuan responded, "Xiao Tianyu is currently cultivating in Cold Ice Tower, and I am unsure if he can leave the tower in ten days, so I cannot give you a definitive answer on this matter!"
Afraid?
After hearing Mo Xuan’s words, the envoy pondered silently, he would never believe Xiao Tianyu is still cultivating in the tower, after all, three months have passed since the Wind and Cloud Banquet ended, even if there are many opportunities in the tower, most likely he has already left the tower by now.
Hence, the envoy concluded it was merely Mo Xuan’s excuse.
The envoy spoke: "I will truthfully report City Lord Mo’s words to our city lord, farewell!"
"I won’t see you off!" Mo Xuan waved.
After the envoy’s departure, Mo Xuan held the invitation card, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.
Thousand Cities Banquet.
Mo Xuan understood the true meaning of the Thousand Cities Banquet.
Celestial Demon City holding the Thousand Cities Banquet is merely to showcase Celestial Demon City’s formidable might, using the occasion of Yao Junlin’s return from Yanzhou’s Central Region, attempting to leverage the power of Central Region’s major forces, aiming to control the power of the Thousand Cities and establish dominion.
Nevertheless, this matter is quite tricky for Mo Xuan.
Should Mo Xuan’s guess prove true, with Yao Junlin having joined a major force for cultivation, backed by a major force, his future is boundless, then who among the Thousand Cities would dare defy the Celestial Demon City lord.
The unification of the Thousand Cities is perhaps only a matter of time.
...
On the other side, Soul Refining Battlefield.
Xiao Tianyu advanced against the current all the way, defeating heroes of the Thousand Cities, even Bai Bufan fell to him, thus becoming a symbol of the Thousand Cities, suppressing an era.
The undisputed first of the youth generation in Thousand Cities.
Standing on the Drumming Battlefield, Xiao Tianyu’s long hair stirred by the breeze, his expression was so indifferent, as if standing at the peak of the Thousand Cities could never satisfy him.
Indeed, the mere Thousand Cities cannot satisfy Xiao Tianyu.
Xiao Tianyu, under Li Tian’s command, came to the Firmament World to save all beings. If this small Thousand Cities were his stage, Li Tian would certainly not choose him.
Therefore, Xiao Tianyu’s world is the highest point of the vast Firmament.
"Why don’t you kill me and take my Life Spirit?" At this moment, Bai Bufan gazed intently at Xiao Tianyu, who returned the gaze and spoke softly, "I feel it’s unnecessary!"
"But without my Life Spirit strengthening you, how will you break through this Golden Bell Shield?" As he spoke, Bai Bufan lifted his profound eyes, glancing at the Ancient Bell enveloping the void.
The Ancient Bell’s might suppresses the battlefield, covers all. To achieve the singularity on the battlefield and break the Bell’s shield can be said as nearly impossible.
Perhaps, if Xiao Tianyu consumed his soul power, then consumed Mo Qingluan’s soul power, it might offer a glimmer of hope.
However, Xiao Tianyu declares he finds it unnecessary.
Subsequently, Xiao Tianyu similarly lifted his gaze upon the Ancient Bell, murmuring, "Truly cannot shatter this Golden Bell Shield?"
Boom~
Suddenly, the Ancient Bell resounded, the battle platform burst, the Power of Sound Waves tore through everything, crash~ In an instant, only to see the force of the Ancient Bell fling Xiao Tianyu away, crimson blood spraying wildly.
"Tianyu!" Mo Qingluan revealed a look of tension, stepping toward Xiao Tianyu, who waved his hand: "Don’t come over!"
Mo Qingluan halted, showing a hint of worry.
"He must have discovered something!" Bai Bufan voiced to Mo Qingluan, also puzzled why the Ancient Bell only attacked Xiao Tianyu and not him or Mo Qingluan.
Just now, Xiao Tianyu merely scanned the Ancient Bell with Divine Thought, not anticipating such terrifying retaliation from the Bell, directly shaking him off.
"How strong is your Bell’s sound power?" Xiao Tianyu stood back up, gazing at the Ancient Bell, exhibiting defiance, and stepped forward.
Buzz~
The Ancient Bell buzzed again, shook the Firmament, a dazzling radiance enveloped Xiao Tianyu’s form, fully encompassing his stature.
However, Xiao Tianyu spoke: "Are you eliminating the soul?"
Boom boom boom~
The Ancient Bell seemed sentient, aware of Xiao Tianyu’s taunting, buzzing incessantly, causing the battle platform to tremble continuously, and instantly a formidable force from the Bell surged, aiming to rip through everything.
Suddenly, that sound force conglomerated and swept toward Xiao Tianyu, an appalling destructive power straight into his frame.
Poof~
Xiao Tianyu spewed another mouthful of blood, his form sent flying once more.
The Ancient Bell targeted solely Xiao Tianyu.
His spirit remained unyielding, hair flying, eyes profound, instead an immense aura emitted from Xiao Tianyu, his soul power under the Bell’s might appeared to strengthen.
