Chapter 289: Departure

ont of him. After all, the power of this formation had not been fully activated yet, only operating at its most basic level. However, under the premise that he could only exert the strength of a Tian...As soon as the city lord finished speaking, a swirling vortex suddenly appeared in the sky. When it first appeared, it wasn't very large, but it quickly expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the vortex covered an area of a hundred zhang.

Looking up, the sky seemed to have a hole in it.

The vortex spun endlessly, its depths unknown. But within its churning mass, a strange and subtle movement could be sensed.

All the spirits in Immortal Yuan City were looking up.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, a creature three meters long emerged from the vortex. It was covered in armor plates, had four limbs, and a triangular head, resembling a giant praying mantis. It clung to the edge of the vortex, its complex multifaceted eyes reflecting the cityscape below.

Back then, Xian Yuan City was a top-tier power throughout the entire Jiuzhou region. It was no less powerful than the current first-class sects, and even stronger in some aspects.

Though it pains them, the city of Xian Yuan has no choice but to make this decision for the sake of the Nine Continents.

Because, someone always has to stand up.

Along with the Immortal Yuan City, seventeen other top-tier forces also stood out. These eighteen forces are now located in a small space that is now collectively known as the Infinite Mirage Realm!

Within the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord looked up at the vortex in the sky. He could feel a chill from it, stronger than last time.

Time is running out. Immortal Yuan City may be able to withstand this attack, but what about the next one, or the one after that There will come a day when Immortal Yuan City can no longer hold. If we don't have a solution by then, the entire Kyushu region will be in imminent danger.

I hope that before , someone will stand up.

The city lord couldn't help but recall the young man. If it had been him... perhaps there would have been a chance.

What on earth is this...

A large, ship-shaped flying apparatus slowly approached, carrying members of the Lingyun Hall.

Before the news of the boundless mirage realm opening spread, forces from four nearby regions arrived one after another. However, Lingyun Palace was delayed on its journey and failed to arrive in time, leaving only three forces entering Xian Yuan City.

The people from Lingyun Hall didn't leave, but waited nearby until they received a message from Gu Canyang just now, then came to meet them.

This time, Lingyun Hall was led by Deputy Envoy Zhou Pei and had about a hundred people.

He and Gus were old acquaintances, after all, their home bases weren't that far apart and they had a pretty good relationship.

Upon meeting, there was a moment of polite greetings.

Since Xianyuan City is unable to communicate with the outside world, no one knows what place the boundless mirage realm has connected to this time, or what the situation inside is.

Upon learning that the boundless mirage realm was connected to Immortal Origin City, Zhou Pei was taken aback. Immortal Origin City had an extremely harsh environment. The fact that Divine Hidden Palace could withstand a two-front battle and still have so many survivors truly impressed him. He held Gu Canyang in high regard.

Guo Can Yang's face turned red...

Speaking of it, his experience this time was truly embarrassing. He entered Xianyuan City and was immediately apprehended, imprisoned in the dungeon. If not for Lu Ye's rescue, he would have likely been dead by now. He hurriedly stopped Zhou Pei from praising him and whispered to him.

As Zhou Pei gradually learned the truth, his expression became more and more animated.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He had also heard of Bi Xue Zong Lu Yi Ye's name, but on the top of Jin Guang, Lu Ye only had five layers of cultivation, which was a bit far from them, so he had only heard of it and didn't care too much.

Unexpectedly, after just a short time, the one who rose to fame atop Jinguang Peak has arrived at the inner circle, once again dazzling within Xian Yuan City.

This time, it's even more outrageous. He almost single-handedly crippled the entire Kamisato Clan, allowing the hidden palace to stabilize the situation and turn the tide of battle.

Seeing Lu Ye's potential, Zhou Pei naturally wanted to befriend him.

After a moment, the large ship rose into the air and, under the control of the cultivators at Lingyun Palace, flew towards the hidden palace's location.

Meanwhile, the Feng Hua Yuan and Zhao Ri Shan factions also received news of the Infinite Mirage Realm's closure. To their horror, so many cultivators had entered from their side, none emerged alive. Even among the scattered cultivators of Wan Mo Ling, only a few survived.

From the survivors' accounts, the two families gradually pieced together what had happened in Xian Yuan City. It was a truth too difficult to accept.

This time, the number of cultivators who entered the boundless mirage realm is roughly five to six hundred. Among them, those from the Wanmo Ridge account for over 60%, meaning they are naturally at an advantageous position.

As a result, almost the entire army of the Wanmo Ridge was destroyed, with only over a hundred people from the Haotian Alliance surviving.

How did the Haotangmeng accomplish this Even the survivors aren't entirely sure, because when they realized things were going south, they hid away and didn't dare show their faces until even Xianyuan City was closed.

I've only vaguely heard that someone from the Haotiantian Alliance could command the spirits of Xian Yuan City to fight, which is why Wan Mo Ling suffered such heavy losses.

When the Tianji Merchant Alliance heard this news, they also sought verification through various channels. Although the Alliance does not participate in the conflict between the two major camps, these previously unheard-of messages can be sold at a good price. If they could figure out how to control spirits, they would undoubtedly gain huge profits, because no one had ever been able to control spirits in Xianyuan City or other Infinite Mirage Realms before.

It is foreseeable that it won't be long before what happened in Xian Yuan City spreads. While the Shen Yin Palace cultivators can certainly keep their mouths shut, those surviving Hao Tian League scattered cultivators may not be able to do the same. They are already living a meager existence, and once the Chamber of Commerce offers an appropriate price, many pieces of information might be sold.

Of course, even if the news spread it wouldn't matter much. Transforming a spirit into a puppet is Amber's skill, it has nothing to do with Lu Ye, and even if others knew about it, they wouldn't be able to imitate it.

Two hours later, at the location of Shenyin Palace, a grand formation was activated, and a large ship descended from the sky.

The people of Lingyun Hall didn't stay long. They had been waiting outside for a month, only to meet the people from Shenyin Palace. Now that the mission was complete, they had to return to their own base.

But before leaving, Zhou Pei extended an invitation to Lu Ye, inviting him to visit the residence of the Lingyun Hall.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

That night, Gu Canshan hosted a banquet to thank Lu Ye for saving his life and all he had done in Xian Yuan City. They drank and feasted, enjoying each other's company.

The next day, Lu Ye woke up the slumbering Giant Armor and led him straight to the Heavenly Mystery Hall in the Hidden Palace.

Lu Ye's cultivation level was nearing the ninth layer. Once cultivators reached the ninth layer, they would need to find a Heaven-Grade technique for themselves, otherwise, their subsequent spiritual acupoints wouldn't be able to open. This needed to be planned ahead of time to avoid being unprepared when needed.

He won't lack achievements, he just needs to find the right techniques.

As for the giant, Zhu Jian has been stuck at the ninth level for who knows how long. Sima Yang is dead, and he has nowhere else to go. Since he's willing to follow me, Lu Ye naturally wants him in Bixue Zong. That's his goal.

Therefore, we also need to create a Heavenly Grade Technique for the Giant Armadillo.

The giant mech has no merits, but that's okay. Merit is not only obtained through slaying enemies, but can also be purchased from the Tianji Treasure Vault.en the divine consciousness of a Sea God Realm expertIt is impossible to clearly trace the path underground here, and due to the limitations of the terrain, there is only one way to eradicate the subt...
