The dimly lit sixth floor was completely silent.
There were only a few rays of distorted five-colored light in the depths of the darkness.
Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao moved forward in the darkness and could feel the difference in the flow of time.
Although the situation at Pillar of Heavens Mountains was critical and there was not much time left for them.
Before they went into seclusion to recuperate, the two of them still went to visit Ji Ke.
Ji Ke was cultivating in seclusion in the distorted spacetime.
She lay in the darkness calmly and was in a state of deep concentration. She was unaware of everything around her.
A layer of pale golden flames enveloped her body and made her look even more noble and mysterious.
Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao were surprised that Ji Ke's strength had improved tremendously and she had reached the Second Level of the Martial Sage Realm!
Moreover, she had obtained the inheritance of the mysterious Demon God and had been cultivating in the darkness. Her strength would definitely increase tremendously.
Ji Tianxing observed for a while and suddenly realized something.
The pale golden flames around Ji Ke's body was like a protective shield.
The flames surged slowly like flowing water, faintly condensing into a strange scene.
The most obvious pattern was that of a fire bird. Its body was long and elegant and its wings and tail were long and narrow.
It was a pity that the flames flowed continuously and the pattern of the fire bird was faintly discernible.
Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao observed for a while but could not see clearly what kind of demonic beast it was.
The two of them did not want to disturb Ji Ke's cultivation. They suppressed their doubts and turned to leave.
Then, the two of them sat down in the darkness and took out a large number of elixirs and spirit stones. They started to recuperate and recover their powers.
Time passed very quickly.
Unknowingly, a year had passed in the darkness.
After a year of recuperation, Yun Yao's injuries had healed and she had returned to her peak state.
She continued to cultivate in seclusion and tried her best to increase her strength and break through to the Eighth Level of the Martial Sage Realm.
Ji Tianxing's injuries were too serious.
Even though he had spent a year and consumed a large number of spirit stones and elixirs, his injuries had not healed completely.
In order to completely heal his injuries, he had to recuperate for another year before he could return to his peak state.
…
A year had passed in the dark space, but only seven and a half days had passed in the outside world.
It was noon that day.
Among the 72 cities, Heaven Reaching City was located in the middle.
This ancient city with 3,000 years of history occupied an area of 200 miles in radius. The city walls were 300 meters tall and were extremely majestic.
The city was surrounded by vast plains, and it was only several thousand miles away that there were endless towering mountain ranges.
All this time, Heaven Reaching City had been very prosperous, with more than four million people under its rule.
Moreover, the resources around Heaven Reaching City were abundant.
Not only were there endless medicinal gardens, but there were also more than a dozen large spirit stone veins.
However, after An Yu led his fleet to invade the 72 cities, he took over Heaven Reaching City.
He and the other captains used a secret technique to control the Sky Reaching City Lord, Vice City Lord, Garrison General, and other experts.
The soldiers and commoners in the city could only choose to submit under the pressure of the experts of the Heaven Punisher Race.
After half a month of reorganization, the entire Heaven Reaching City fell under An Yu's control.
He used this place as his capital to control all 72 cities.
At that moment, 20 battleships that were 1,000 meters long were gathered in the sky above Heaven Reaching City.
Two thousand warriors of the Heaven Punisher Race were waiting in the battleships.
A strong murderous aura shrouded the entire Heaven Reaching City, causing the heavens and earth to darken.
The commoners in the city were anxious and trembling. They hid in their homes and did not dare to show their faces.
Everyone was guessing that the foreign tribe army was about to set off again.
However, they did not know which force was going to suffer this time.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
More than 20 experts of the Heaven Punisher Race had gathered in the meeting hall.
An Yu, who was dressed in golden armor, sat at the head of the table, looking high and mighty.
Twenty captains in silver armor stood on both sides of the hall. They were all experts of the Martial God Realm.
An Yu looked at the crowd sternly and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, according to General Fu Long's orders and instructions, we have to advance slowly and steadily.
Only in this way can we successfully realize our plan to rule this world.
It has been half a month since we took over the 72 cities.
After half a month of planning and reorganization, we have completely taken control of the 72 cities.
Some follow-up work is still in progress. Soon, this place will become our base camp, the most solid fortress!
However, today, the time is ripe.
We will set off again and point our swords at the Pillar of Heavens Mountains! "
An Yu's stern voice reverberated in the hall.
After he finished speaking, the captain in silver armor said, "Deputy General An, we have been bored during this period of time.
With our strength, we can crush the entire world. Why do we have to be so cautious? "
The other captains nodded in agreement and chimed in impatiently.
"We should have led the troops to set off a long time ago to flatten the Pillar of Heavens Mountains and attack the Luoshui Holy Kingdom!"
"As the saying goes, speed is the most important thing in war. If we delay like this, the people of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains will be scared out of their wits and run away in advance."
"We have to be so cautious when dealing with a small Pillar of Heavens Mountains. Won't we have to spend a few hundred years attacking the three Holy Kingdoms in the future?"
In the end, many captains were unhappy with An Yu's high position.
However, the captains did not dare to complain to the Dragon Subduing General. Instead, they frowned at An Yu and expressed their opposition.
An Yu knew everyone's reaction and mentality.
He was not angry. Instead, he said sternly, "I can completely understand everyone's feelings.
Therefore, we will set off today and attack the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
Since all the captains are so impatient, I also wish you all success and success in your endeavors!
After we take down the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, the Dragon Subduing General will reward us according to our merits.
Let's go! "
An Yu waved his hand and gave the order to set off.
He stepped across the hall and walked towards the door. The 20 captains followed closely behind.
However, as soon as An Yu reached the entrance, he saw two black-armored guards rushing towards him with hurried expressions.
"General An, something bad has happened!"
"General, there is an urgent report from the frontline. There is enemy news!"
Two guards clad in black armor rushed to the entrance as fast as lightning, bowed to An Yu, and reported the situation with an anxious tone.
An Yu stopped in his tracks and frowned. With a sullen face, he asked, "What happened? Why are you so flustered? "
The 20 captains behind An Yu were also puzzled. Their gazes gathered on the two guards.
The two guards did not dare to talk nonsense and quickly reported the truth.
"General An, just this morning, Qingyuan City in the south was suddenly invaded by an expert.
More than a dozen elite soldiers guarding Qingyuan City were all killed by a mysterious powerhouse! "
"After the mysterious expert left Qingyuan City, he sneaked into the nearby Changle City and assassinated nine elite soldiers.
Captain Qi Ling, who was guarding Changle City, personally went to stop the mysterious expert but was killed on the spot! "
