Young Master in Flower City

At present, Xiao Tianyu domineeringly descended to the ninth layer of the Celestial Palace, able to overlook all the prodigies of the Thousand Cities, invincible among peers.

This disparity, for her, Lu Yaojia, could never be bridged.

She even felt too ashamed to meet Xiao Tianyu again.

"Everyone, disperse now!"

At this moment, Yao Junlin put down his wine glass and waved a large hand, continuing the banquet held today served no further purpose.

No wonder, the banquet held today, inviting prodigies from various cities to gather, had been completely overshadowed by Xiao Tianyu, Li Fei, and Bai Bufan. What point was there in continuing?

People from various cities knew this and had no face to stay here. After greeting each other, they left the ninth layer of the Celestial Palace.

Just as everyone had left.

Swoosh~

A cold glint shot out from Yao Junlin’s eyes, revealing murderous intent. As a disciple of the Luoshen Sect, with unparalleled talent and the Young City Lord of Celestial Demon City, when had he ever been mocked like this?

"Come forward!" Yao Junlin snorted coldly. An elder appeared beside him and saluted, "Young City Lord!"

"Leave none of the three!" Yao Junlin voiced, stepping away from the ninth layer.

The elder’s figure flickered and disappeared from sight.

Within the Thousand Cities, Divine Separation Stage experts couldn’t act against Divine Level beings. This was the rule; no one defied it. But an assassination?

Killed unknowingly, who would know?

Even if it were known to be done by a Divine Separation Stage expert, it couldn’t be verified. What would Ice Sea City have to say? Even if suspected, so what? Without solid evidence, what would they do to Celestial Demon City?

After Xiao Tianyu, Li Fei, and Bai Bufan left the Celestial Palace, they headed toward the palace.

Along the way.

Xiao Tianyu suddenly spoke: "In the Celestial Palace, Yao Junlin lost face; he probably won’t let it rest. Also, this person excels at disguise, appearing amicable on the surface, but is indeed treacherous and despicable—a petty person who should not be underestimated!"

Having said this, Xiao Tianyu quickened his pace.

His concern wasn’t without reason. On leaving, he had already seen the cold killing intent in Yao Junlin’s eyes.

"Brother, you seem worried over nothing. In the Thousand Cities, the unspoken rules are clear; would Yao Junlin dare to blatantly violate them and send Divine Separation experts to assassinate us without considering any consequences?"

Bai Bufan laughed dismissively, "The rules of the Thousand Cities have never been broken by anyone!"

"Better to be cautious!" Xiao Tianyu responded, rising into the air.

Li Fei abruptly spoke: "Tianyu is precisely right; nothing is absolute, especially considering Yao Junlin comes from the Luoshen Sect. Even if he violates the rules, what can the Thousand Cities’ people do to him? Today, you saw that the prodigies of the Thousand Cities were invited by Yao Junlin and gathered at the Celestial Palace. What does this mean? I think Bufan, you should know!"

Having said this, Li Fei too ascended into the air.

Bai Bufan watched the two and followed suit, yet he still doubted Yao Junlin would dare secretly send someone to intercept them.

Bai Bufan’s disbelief was not without cause.

He, Bai Bufan, was Bai Aotian’s most cherished son, with unmatched talent. If he were to die in Celestial Demon City, Bai Aotian wouldn’t let it rest; he’d likely invade the city lord’s mansion and wreak havoc alone.

In such a case, who among the descendants of the city lord’s mansion could stop Bai Aotian’s rampage?

For the City Lord of Celestial Demon City, this would indeed be a catastrophic disaster unless the city lord’s mansion had absolute experts to protect and strike Bai Aotian down. However, across the vast Thousand Cities, none of the hundred city lords could gain an advantage over another.

Thus, who dares to break these unspoken rules?

"Today was truly satisfying!"

Bai Bufan chased after Xiao Tianyu and Li Fei across the clouds, laughing heartily, "Yao Junlin wants to conquer the Thousand Cities. How could it be so simple? Moreover, what Thousand Cities Banquet? Tomorrow, would those humiliated city prodigies even have the nerve to appear at the banquet?"

"Precisely why I fear Yao Junlin won’t let this rest; better to remain cautious!" Xiao Tianyu’s intuition warned him that Yao Junlin might indeed send someone to assassinate them.

"Brother, perhaps you still don’t quite understand the unspoken rules of the Thousand Cities!" Bai Bufan continued to doubt Yao Junlin would act rashly, especially within Celestial Demon City’s capital.

Buzz~

But before Bai Bufan’s words were finished, an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky. Xiao Tianyu, Li Fei, and Bai Bufan each groaned: "So strong!"

Swoosh~

Under the terrifying pressure, the three of them instantly landed on the ground, with everyone around them showing strange expressions.

Regarding Xiao Tianyu, Li Fei, and Bai Bufan, under the pressure their expressions turned Tie Qing.

Especially Bai Bufan, fully stunned. Were people from Celestial Demon City really daring to intercept them?

At this moment, a white-haired, masked figure appeared in the distant void, their powerful aura enveloping Xiao Tianyu and the others, sealing all their escape routes, causing those around to retreat.

"It’s a Divine Separation Stage expert!"

Many couldn’t help but be shocked, looking sadly at Xiao Tianyu and the others.

This is indeed a true Divine Separation Stage expert, incomparable to the two elders guarding the ninth layer of the Celestial Palace.

Below Divine Separation, Divine Level is but an ant.

"You go first!" Li Fei shouted explosively.

Boom~

Immediately, the burly body stepped forth, cracking the ground, unleashing the Power Law, breaking everything; a hundred-meter Demon King emerged behind him, like the Demon Venerable descending to the world.

Instantly, Li Fei donned the Demon Armor, demonic power surged.

Boom~

Next, Li Fei threw a punch towards the masked figure, the Fist Aura suppressed, causing demonic clouds to shroud the void for miles.

However, the masked man simply waved a large hand, dispersing Li Fei’s Fist Aura through the void, with his demonic power disappearing alongside, boom, boom, boom~ the shadow of the Demon Venerable behind him shattered,

Clang~

With a loud crash, Li Fei’s body flew back, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.

The opponent was a High Tier Divine Separation Stage expert, this gap in realms could never be bridged by talent alone. No matter how gifted Li Fei was, he was but an ant in the opponent’s hand, easily crushed.

"Despicable!" Bai Bufan shouted angrily, stepping forward with the Heaven-piercing Halberd in hand.

One halberd stroke tore open heaven and earth, slashing at the elder, the Halberd Aura endless, exterminating everything.

Between heaven and earth, a tornado erupted.

But the elder still paced the void, the endless Halberd Aura under his steps shattered and disappeared into nothingness; then, a terrifying enigmatic aura directly swept Bai Bufan away.

Poof~

Bai Bufan spat fresh blood from his mouth, his body crashing to the ground, feeling several ribs breaking.

Xiao Tianyu watched all this, his expression also not looking good. What are thirty-six strands of Residual Spirit worth? In the face of absolute power, they’re utterly useless; the opponent is a High Tier Divine Separation Stage expert.

"Die!" At this moment, the masked elder uttered a single word, slowly reaching out a hand toward Xiao Tianyu and the others, the aura overwhelming, unchallengeable. This Hand Seal intended to end the lives of Xiao Tianyu, Li Fei, and Bai Bufan.
