Chu Tian was speechless, quickly pulling the second brother away.
He naturally knew what Old Li was going to say.
It would be strange if Old Wei let him speak.
Chu Tian produced a pot of good wine and stuffed it into Old Li's hand, quickly placating him.
This old fellow was relentless when he had the advantage, and even raised his eyebrows at Old Wei, winking in Wei Jin's direction.
Clearly, he was saying, "Don't mess with me in the future. If you do, I'll expose your secrets!"
Wei Du gave him a fierce glare, his hands moving continuously as he cast incantations, gradually lifting the seals in the grand hall.
When the first seal was lifted, Chu Tian felt an extremely terrifying aura.
This old guy had actually set up a "Seal Heaven and Earth" formation throughout the entire hall.
It was fortunate that he hadn't entered before and had also warned Wei Jin!
He still remembered the spectacular scene of Wei Du using "Seal Heaven and Earth" last time.
All the monsters that entered were turned into ice sculptures. With a gentle touch, they turned to powder.
"Old City Lord, your magic is completely disproportionate to your strength!" Miao Zuo suddenly spoke, his face showing shock.
He could tell that the Old City Lord's cultivation was similar to his own, but this sealing skill was incredibly powerful.
His words had precisely touched upon Chu Tian's own question.
"It's definitely disproportionate. He can only show off in Wan Shou City," Old Li said, taking a swig from his wine pot.
As he said this, Chu Tian suddenly understood. It turned out this skill required the formation of Wan Shou City to be performed.
Miao Zuo, a talisman cultivator, was also an expert in formations and seals. After hearing Old Li's words, he revealed a look of understanding.
After everyone entered the grand hall.
Wei Jin finished settling Dong Dong.
The still unconscious Ding Ding was also sent to the backyard to rest.
Chu Tian scanned the entire City Lord's Mansion courtyard with his divine sense and found no one else.
Even the four sisters were nowhere to be found.
Chu Tian wanted to inquire, but at this moment, Wei Du spoke.
"Chu Tian, we cannot just sit here and wait to die!"
His opening statement attracted everyone's attention.
Chu Tian was surprised and asked,
"Does the Old City Lord have a plan?"
"It's not exactly a plan!" Wei Du paused before continuing.
"That day at the Feng Hun Sect, when those Saint Body realm experts appeared, everyone was taken by surprise.
Only Xiao Zhan did not show excessive astonishment.
Therefore, I suspect that the Feng Hun Sect must have an unspeakable connection with the City of Oblivion.
Otherwise, that brainless pig Xiao Zhan would have immediately jumped out in shock and dismay.
You just said that when you returned, Hurricane City had been razed to the ground.
The people of Hurricane City couldn't have all died. So, where are their people?"
After saying these words, the Old City Lord looked at everyone.
Everyone immediately felt that the Old City Lord's guess was not without reason.
"Boss, say something! Let's just kill our way over!" Xiao Hei urged, seeing Chu Tian remain silent.
Chu Tian, however, was thinking at this moment.
This matter should not be that simple.
In that situation, twelve Saint Body realm experts from Hurricane City appeared.
Was it a direct exposure of their trump cards?
If it was just like that, then with their twelve Saint Body realm experts, why hadn't they attacked the entire Sea of Death before?
It's conceivable that with so many Saint Body realm experts appearing.
No city could withstand it.
Even if the City Lord held the City Lord's Seal within his own city, he would not be able to withstand the simultaneous attack of twelve Saint Body realm experts.
Didn't the City Lord who refused to participate in the Four Cities Grand Gathering thousands of years ago meet such a fate?
This time, Hurricane City exposed its trump card, was it simply because of the eight verses?
After thinking it over and over, he couldn't decipher the intentions of Hurricane City.
For now, they could only take it one step at a time.
Xiao Hei's suggestion was also good. Weren't there only a few so-called Saint Body realm experts left?
Wei Du said that when they left, five Saint Body realm experts had already been caught in Old Yang's heavenly tribulation.
These five people should have been killed without a doubt.
Along the way, Dong Dong had also intervened, killing two and severely injuring one.
Upon their return to Wan Shou City, another person attacked, and was turned into powder by Xiao Long Nü's tail.
Calculating this, at least eight of their Saint Body realm experts had perished.
They now only had four left, with one severely injured.
In that case, they should go to the City of Oblivion for a visit.
Regardless of whether the Feng Hun Sect had any connection with the City of Oblivion, a trip wouldn't hurt.
Just as Chu Tian was about to speak.
The Old City Lord spoke again, "Before going to the City of Oblivion, we should go to Clear Water City first!"
Chu Tian looked up at the Old City Lord with confusion.
"Clear Water City's foundation should not be inferior to Hurricane City. If we can form an alliance with Clear Water City, it should yield twice the results with half the effort.
I even suspect that Clear Water City has already made a move. Wan Bao Lu is not as amiable as he appears on the surface."
As the Old City Lord spoke, he took out a stack of secret letters from his embrace.
"This is the correspondence between Wan Bao Lu and me over the years.
That old fellow has been instigating me to join forces with him to deal with the City of Oblivion.
Strangely, in the secret letters, this old fellow told me that the City of Oblivion would be mine, and he only wanted the Extreme North Ice Plains.
Everyone knows that there is nothing on the Extreme North Ice Plains except for a vast ice sea.
Originally, I thought this old fellow was just trying to trick me, and would eventually want a share of the spoils from the City of Oblivion."
At this point, the Old City Lord patted the space bag on his waist.
"However, last time you were in a coma, and Old Yang went to the Extreme North Ice Plains to gather spiritual herbs for you, he discovered this!"
Everyone's gaze shifted to the Old City Lord's hand.
It was a smooth, pure white bead.
It emitted a faint white mist.
"Qi Soul Bead?"
"Spiritual Source Divine Crystal!"
Chu Tian and Miao Zuo's voices rang out simultaneously.
At this moment, their gazes also met.
Indeed, the object in the Old City Lord's hand was the Qi Soul Bead that Chu Tian had seen in the small world of the Luo family on Blue Star!
The Spiritual Source Divine Crystal was likely the name used on Miao Zuo's star.
"You know what this is?" the Old City Lord asked, his eyes lighting up.
Chu Tian and Miao Zuo looked at each other, Chu Tian gesturing for Miao Zuo to speak first.
Miao Zuo nodded and said, "Spirit Crystals are the most common currency for transactions in our place. Of course, Spirit Crystals are more than just currency.
They can be directly absorbed to improve cultivation. Moreover, there are many types of Spirit Crystals in our place, but only those with attributes are circulated.
Special formations are required to refine the spiritual energy within into attribute-less, heaven and earth spiritual energy that can be used for cultivation.
The fusion skill between Xiao Hei and me was developed by me using such formations.
And the item in your hand, Old City Lord, is the top-grade among Spirit Crystals. It contains no attributes, and cultivators of any attribute can absorb it directly.
Of course, that's not where its value lies!"
"Then what is it?" Xiao Hei asked.
Because everyone could see the immense spiritual energy contained within this Spiritual Source Divine Crystal.
"Its value lies in the two words in the middle! To be precise, it should be the power of the Source God!"
Miao Zuo's eyes shone with brilliance!
