Outside Feng Run City!
"Cough!"
After Yu Haoran promised not to pursue the matter, Elder Hu's eyes flashed with interest. Just as he was about to explain why he was in Feng Run City, a cough came from the crowd.
Although the cough was very weak, Elder Hu's expression changed slightly and he didn't speak.
"Get out here!"
Perhaps the person who coughed thought that he was very discreet and wouldn't be noticed by Yu Haoran.
But his spiritual sense had already covered the Thaling of the crowd and locked onto the person who coughed.
After receiving Thaling's warning, Yu Haoran roared and condensed his soul power into a giant hand that grabbed at the center of the crowd. A white-haired old man in a white robe with a dignified appearance, about sixty years old.
"Clear Wind Slash!"
Seeing the giant hand grabbing at him, the white-haired old man's expression changed slightly. He immediately took out his high-grade emperor sword and quickly used a peak heaven class sword technique.
The white-haired old man's cultivation was at the peak of Emperor Wu's seventh rank, and his sword technique combined with his sword was at the early eighth rank of Emperor Wu's eighth rank.
But in the face of the giant hand, the sharp sword qi couldn't withstand a single blow. The giant hand shattered the sword qi and grabbed the white-haired old man.
Grabbing the white-haired old man and returning to the city wall, the giant hand contained pure soul power and quickly sealed the old man's dantian and soul.
"Someone from the Yuxu Temple!"
After sealing the old man's dantian and soul and understanding the characteristics of the old man's cultivation, Yu Haoran's eyes flashed with murderous intent. His expression was gloomy as he revealed the old man's origin.
"Yu Haoran, I'll use a secret technique that can corrode the soul to weaken this old man's soul."
When he heard Yu Haoran say that the white-haired old man was Emperor Wu from the Yuxu Temple, Thaling suddenly remembered that the Black Tortoise had mentioned that the Heavenly Will had pointed out Ji Xing, the master of the Yuxu Temple, as the Child of Destiny who could start and end the Immeasurable Calamity. He immediately realized that the reason thousands of experts gathered outside Feng Run City was likely related to the fake Child of Destiny, Ji Xing.
Thus, he planned to let Yu Haoran use a soul-searching technique to verify his speculation.
"Alright!" Yu Haoran also realized the problem and immediately nodded in agreement.
When the white-haired old man's soul was weakened to the martial saint realm, Yu Haoran directly placed his hand on his head and used a soul-searching technique to check his memories.
Perhaps because Ji Xing was overconfident, the white-haired old man's soul didn't have any restrictions, allowing Ji Xing to easily read his entire life.
After Yu Haoran directly shattered the old man's head, Thaling hurriedly asked, "Yu Haoran, what do you think?"
"Thaling, these people were bewitched and coerced by Ji Xing, the master of the Yuxu Temple's Heavenly Palace, to come to Feng Run City. They only have one goal, and that is to kill me, Yu Haoran, and seize my Ginseng Fruit and Innate Spiritual Treasure, as well as destroy the floating Prince's Mansion." Yu Haoran looked at the thousands of experts gathered outside the city and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
The white-haired old man he had just killed was not only a powerful elder of the Yuxu Temple's Heavenly Palace, but also the person in charge of this operation.
After searching his memories, Ji Xing learned that the Black Tortoise had personally gone to the Yuxu Temple after leaving Zhenyuan's tomb. Apart from concealing his identity as the Chosen One and his newly attained martial god realm strength, it didn't hide anything else from Ji Xing.
Yu Haoran knew very well that the Black Tortoise's actions seemed to be to curry favor with Ji Xing, but in reality, it wanted to use the Ginseng Fruit and Innate Spiritual Treasure to force Ji Xing to reveal his identity as the Chosen One.
Then, it would use the uniqueness of the Chosen One to lure some experts hidden in the dark to take the initiative to jump out. It also hoped to use this method to divert the world's attention from him so that he would have more time and a safer environment to improve his cultivation and strength.
Yu Haoran remembered the Black Tortoise's good intentions.
"Yu Haoran, what do you want to do next?"
In contrast to Yu Haoran's relaxed state of mind, Thaling's heart felt a little heavy when he saw the thousands of experts gathered outside the city, just as he had speculated.
He knew that since Ji Xing dared to reveal his identity as the Chosen One, he must have obtained the approval of the heavens.
In other words, the three supreme experts who had been hiding in the dark would gradually intervene in the disputes of the Tianxuan Continent.
This was not a good thing for Yu Haoran, who had yet to truly grow up and find the Heaven's Will Stone Tablet, as the child of destiny.
"Refine my hands!"
Unaware of Thaling's heavy mood, Yu Haoran used his divine thoughts to inform Qin Lingfei, The Sword Without Trace, Wu Zhengjun, Yunxiang, and Fang Man to come over. At the same time, he ordered Lan Rong to activate the defensive and offensive formations of Fengrun City before replying to Thaling's inquiry.
"That works too!"
Among the thousands of experts gathered outside the city, the one with the highest cultivation was Emperor Wu, who was at the peak of Level Seven. With Qin Lingfei and the others' cultivation and strength, as well as the means they had mastered, they could not only ensure their own safety but also improve their cultivation and strength through the process of fighting the enemy.
After Qin Lingfei and the other four arrived at the city wall and Lan Rong and the other generals entered the offensive formation, Yu Haoran told everyone his thoughts and arrangements.
After receiving everyone's agreement, Yu Haoran looked at the thousands of experts outside the city again. His gaze finally stopped on the expert surnamed Hu.
"Senior, as long as you leave Fengrun City immediately, this junior's promise of forgiveness will still be valid."
The expert surnamed Hu had already guessed what the audacious Yu Haoran was going to do next since he did not fear the power of the Yuxu Temple and directly killed the Yuxu Temple's Emperor Wu.
Although he had a large number of people on his side, he knew from the strength Yu Haoran had just shown that in the face of absolute strength, the advantage of numbers was simply useless.
Therefore, in the face of Yu Haoran's repeated care, the expert surnamed Hu did not continue to insist. After clasping his hands in gratitude, he directly rose into the air and left Fengrun City.
However, just as he was about to soar into the air, a voice filled with menace forced him to stop in midair.
"Hu Qingyang, if you dare to escape on your own, your Hu Clan will be the first to be destroyed before the Immeasurable Calamity begins."
"Old man, no one knows whether the Hu Clan will be destroyed in the future. The only thing I can be sure of now is that at least you won't live to see that day."
