"Let's go too!" The other eight people followed, full of anticipation.
The grey-robed middle-aged man took a secluded path, still shuttling through the slums. The further he went, the more deserted he became, until he reached a barren land.
"It's in front." When the slums behind them could no longer be seen, they had already left the borders of the Imperial City.
Not far away, an abandoned Taoist temple stood alone under the setting sun.
"Didn't you say there were eight thousand one hundred people?" someone questioned.
The Taoist temple was cold and quiet. How did it look like there were a thousand people?
The grey-robed middle-aged man turned his back to them. He came to the front of the Taoist temple, took out a specially made spell flag, and stuck it in front of the door.
Divine light fluctuated around the originally empty Daoist temple. The surrounding scenery gradually distorted, revealing a dazzling and bustling market.
"So it's a spell concealment!"
"What a profound formation. I didn't sense any trace of a formation at all."
"From what I know, only one person in the Dayu Empire could set up a spell that could hide from the Glazed Crystal Overlord. That is Emperor Wu hen!"
"It's unbelievable to ask this person to set up a spell. Who is the person who sold the entry pass for the Dao Rain? How could he be so generous? "
They had expected that the person who sold the entry pass must have an extraordinary status.
But reality was more mysterious than they had expected.
They even secretly guessed that it might be Emperor Wuhen himself.
"Follow me in." The grey-robed middle-aged man waited expressionlessly at the entrance of the market.
The eight of them regained their senses, their faces full of joy as they walked toward the market.
"What's wrong with you?" The grey-robed middle-aged man glanced at Su Yu, frowning.
Everyone else moved, except for Su Yu. Not only did he not walk over, but he turned to leave after a moment of silence.
"Stop! One more step and I'll give up, "the grey-robed middle-aged man warned.
Su Yu did not turn his head. "Then I'll give up."
The eight people present were baffled by his strange actions.
It was not easy to get here. How could he give up now?
The grey-robed middle-aged man was displeased. "You can give up, but for the safety of the auction, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here until the auction ends."
Su Yu turned his head. "What do you plan to do with me?"
The grey-robed middle-aged man was familiar with this matter. "Simple, follow me in. There will be people watching over you."
Su Yu shook his head as he looked at the bustling city.
"I'm just afraid that once we enter, we won't be able to return," Su Yu said. He swept his gaze over the eight people. "Let me remind all of you to choose carefully! This formation is able to set up a Taoist temple that we can't distinguish between real and fake. How do we know that the bustling scene in front of us isn't just a figment of the formation? "
Hearing this, the other eight people were slightly startled. They looked at each other and simultaneously distanced themselves from the entrance of the bustling city.
Any sane person could understand that Su Yu's words were not unreasonable.
The grey-robed middle-aged man sneered coldly, "Do you think that there's a need to target a small Overlord like you?"
The eight of them fell into deep thought. What he said made sense.
Could it be that they, mere overlords, would have to specially invite the world-renowned Emperor Traceless to set up a formation?
"That's true. Could it be that we have something that the mastermind covets?"
"Brother, aren't you being too paranoid?"
"Ignore him. Let's go and take a look first. Eight thousand people are competing for the same spot. We need to understand the situation first. There's no time to waste."
"That makes sense. Let's go."
The eight of them reached an agreement and entered one after another.
Su Yu remained motionless.
Perhaps what the grey-robed middle-aged man said made sense, but intuition told Su Yu that things were not normal.
At the same time as they entered, Su Yu slowly retreated.
Ah!
Suddenly, a shrill scream came from within the city.
And it wasn't just one, but several in a row.
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. Several Crystal Overlords had been destroyed in a row. There must be a lot of danger.
Without hesitation, Su Yu immediately rushed forward.
"Stay here!" The grey-robed middle-aged man suddenly lifted his grey robe and threw out several Crystal Overlords' talismans in succession.
Su Yu did not look back. With a backhand, he swept away the attack of the talismans with a blow of sword energy.
The grey-robed middle-aged man was shocked. "What a strong sword energy! This person is also a swordsmanship expert!"
As he spoke, the grey-robed middle-aged man shouted, "Nanjia Buddha, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and attack!"
A loud and magnificent voice came from the entrance of the bustling city.
"Amitabha."
As soon as the Buddhist chant entered his ears, Su Yu immediately felt dizzy, and the divine power in his body flowed in an obscure manner.
His body swayed, and Su Yu fell straight to the ground.
What a powerful soul attack! Su Yu was secretly surprised.
The strength of his soul now was no less than that of a Half-Heaven and Earth Divine Warrior.
Very few sound wave attacks below the Divine Warrior level could affect his soul.
Turning his head, he saw a monk in a red kasaya with a compassionate face. He put his palms together and smiled at Su Yu.
The peak overlord of the Buddhist path?
"Benefactor, please stay," the monk in the kasaya said loudly, releasing an invisible soul attack.
Su Yu was on guard, so the impact was reduced a lot. Without changing his expression, he said, "Stay? Fall into the trap like them? "
The monk in the kasaya looked the same, but the look in his eyes changed slightly.
In his opinion, the Crystal Overlord should have fainted under the sound wave attack.
But this person was not seriously injured, which was really strange.
"No, please listen to me," the monk in the kasaya said.
An even more powerful soul attack came secretly.
Su Yu frowned slightly, turned around and walked away.
With the strength of his body now, even if he walked, his speed was still extremely fast.
"Benefactor, turn back to the shore." The monk in the kasaya made a sign with his hands.
The ground in front of him suddenly cracked open, and a huge canyon appeared.
At the same time, the ground under his feet retreated.
Su Yu, who was moving forward, was forcefully pulled back.
Moreover, the closer he got to the monk in the kasaya, the more his soul would be affected by the sound wave attack.
"Enough! Why did you force me to attack you?" Su Yu instantly used the Demon Stems from the Heart.
The monk in the kasaya, who had a compassionate smile on his face, suddenly stiffened. The Buddha's light in his body surged and condensed into a dark golden Buddha's shadow.
At a level invisible to the naked eye, the Buddha's shadow was fighting against a ferocious demonic shadow. They were trying to prevent the demonic shadow from invading the monk's soul.
Both of them were equally matched, and they were wearing each other down.
However, the Demon Stems from the Heart's illusory attack was just a side effect, as its true might came from the sword that followed.
A majestic sword energy fell from the sky.
The monk in the kasaya hurriedly threw out his kasaya, which was surprisingly a protective treasure robe.
Clang!
The treasure robe sank and caught the sword energy, but it became much dimmer.
However, when the first sword strike had just ended, another one came.
The monk in the kasaya's expression became grave. He grabbed the Buddhist beads on his neck, grabbed nine of them, and threw them out.
Puff! Puff!
Puff! The Buddhist beads were destroyed by the sword energy, and the remaining sword energy cut through the kasaya and sent it flying.
Before the monk in the kasaya could catch his breath, he was faced with another sword strike.
"Mister, please wait!" the monk in the kasaya said.
The middle-aged man in the gray robe was also shocked. He immediately took out a golden scroll and threw it out.
The scroll unfolded in the air, and strange words flew out, forming a light screen in front of the monk in the kasaya's body.
The sword energy swept over and pressed down on the light screen, but it managed to block it completely.
Su Yu was slightly surprised. His sword strike was far more powerful than before, and even a peak overlord might not be able to block it completely. However, this light screen blocked it easily. It was definitely not an ordinary object.
"Senior, please show mercy. Let me explain." The middle-aged man in the gray robe hurriedly walked over and helped the monk in the kasaya up.
He was wary of Su Yu, and his expression was solemn. He was no longer as indifferent as before.
"Explain what?" Su Yu gathered his divine energy and was about to wave his sword again.
The middle-aged man in the gray robe's scalp went numb, and he did not dare to hesitate any longer. He hurriedly said, "Senior, you have misunderstood. Please take a look."
He took out another formation flag, and the scene at the entrance of the downtown area was immediately shattered.
Sure enough, it was also an illusion formed by the formation.
The downtown area disappeared, and was replaced by the same desolation as the surroundings.
There were eight unconscious people lying on the ground. They were the eight people who had just entered.
However, they had no injuries on their bodies, and they were merely trapped in some kind of illusion.
"What are you trying to say?" Su Yu asked calmly.
The middle-aged man in the gray robe bowed respectfully. "As you said, the formation is a fake place, but we have no evil intentions. We were ordered by Princess Ru Chen to select the candidates for the Dao Rain's entrance. This scroll is a letter written by Princess Ru Chen herself."
As he waved his hand, the words reassembled into a complete article.
At the same time, he took out a jade pendant, which had a special brand on it. It was the words "Ru Chen". "This is Princess Ru Chen's token. The authenticity of this item can be verified by any royal institution in the Imperial City."
Su Yu was sure that it was real after a quick glance.
The brand contained a very familiar aura of the nation's destiny, which was the tinder.
Apart from the royal family and kings, ordinary people could not touch the nation's destiny, let alone be refined into an artifact.
"So, the so-called sale of the Dao Rain's entrance qualification was just a bait?"
The middle-aged man in the gray robe nodded. "Exactly! Princess Ru Chen hopes to use this method to quickly gather a group of overlord level top-notch fighters. That's why she spread the news. "
"Then, are there really more than 810 gathering points like this?" Su Yu asked again.
"That is true, but there are probably no more than ten people who could pass the test like you did," the middle-aged man in the gray robe said. "Princess Ru Chen hopes to select people who not only have a powerful cultivation base, but also have a smart mind and a calm mind. They must not be impulsive for the sake of immediate benefits."
The eight people who had fallen had been blinded by the Dao Rain's entrance qualification. Hence, they had not thought things through calmly and were eliminated.
Su Yu put away his Asura Sword and shook his head lightly. "Then I'm sorry. I am not interested in serving Princess Ru Chen."
He had come to the Dayu Empire only to obtain the Dao Rain's entrance qualification. Since he did not have it, the selection had nothing to do with him.
The middle-aged man in the gray robe smiled knowingly. "Haha, do you think that Princess Ru Chen will disappoint the people who are selected after spending so much money?"
"If you are selected by Princess Ru Chen, not to mention the Dao Rain's entrance qualification, we can even give you the second-grade entrance qualification. That is a treatment that many princes can enjoy!"
