Standing on the outer city wall, Long Zhu and Long Ying were looking at the vast inner city from a distance. They were looking at the electric currents weaving like earthworms, their faces solemn.
"That man has endured it," Long Ying's small face was filled with surprise. "Grandpa, you said that if he could endure it, we should support him. Do we have to do that? What about the seven ancient factions? "
"Try to solve it. If it doesn't work, I think this kid can keep the Human Clan safe." Long Zhu pondered for a while and then said, "Seems like we should talk to our Master."
"Grandpa, the seven ancient factions are mighty. Lin Meng's group isn't easy to get along with. They won't listen to others' advice. If you go with them, Lin Meng won't agree." Long Ying's beautiful eyes sparkled. She was worried.
"Currently, the Human Clan is facing the biggest danger. If we are careless, we will be exterminated. If Lin Meng's group is stubborn and wants to start the war, I can only stand on the opposite side with them. " Long Zhu sighed, talking begrudgingly. "I hope they can consider the big picture. I think this city isn't simple. Even if the seven ancient factions attack, they can't break the city."
"Is this city really as dangerous as you said?" Long Ying was frightened.
"I know something about the Antiquity Formation, but I can't see through the construction and operation of this city. The energy inside is earth-shaking. I don't know how that kid has done that. The only thing I can confirm is that if True God Realm warriors try to break the city, they will be hurt badly!" said Long Zhu in a low-pitched voice.
Long Ying kept silent.
"In the outer city, there are the Feeble, Senile, Suppressing Spirit, and so on. Even my realm is subdued. If Lin Meng and the others get in here, I'm sure that their realms and power would be reduced by one or two minor realms. Facing so many barriers, barriers, and formations, they still have to get into the city center. This difficulty isn't less than facing the alien tribes. " Long Zhu's face was heavy. "Perhaps this city will be the most important fortress of the Human Clan in the future."
"But they … are with the non-humankind?" Long Ying was confused.
"In the future, the Human Clan won't be the only master of the Grace Mainland anymore. Many races will mix with each other. I don't know if this kid understands it or he just came to this step by accident. Anyway, I agree with his strategy of letting go of the racial distinction and establishing a good relationship with other races. This is also the only way for the human race to survive. If we continue to hold onto our previous prejudices, the human race will definitely perish! "
"So, what the seven ancient factions are doing is wrong?"
"At the very least, it's inappropriate. Times have changed, and we need to change our perception. We need to dare to think and dare to act! Otherwise, they would be abandoned by the various races. I'm going to the Ice and Fire Secret Domain this time to persuade Lin Meng and the others to give up their prejudice and reconsider how to live in peace with the other clans. But I knew it would be tough. Lin Meng and the others had an old-fashioned way of thinking. I was afraid it would be hard to persuade them. Now that someone has gone ahead of them and is doing quite well, I naturally have to help. "
While Long Zhu was talking, his face became solemn. A flow of fierce energy surged out from his body, storming into the city center like a tornado.
Within the inner city, countless restrictions, barriers, and formations were activated, emitting dazzling rays of light. Waves of strange energy fields that could distort souls, weaken energy, and age people's vitality were activated at the same time, causing the inner city to seem like a multi-faceted sphere of light and shadow. Dazzling spots of light bloomed in every area.
Long Zhu looked normal, but just by releasing his aura, he had triggered the entire barrier of the city center.
City center.
Shi Yan's body had recovered, but his Essence Qi and Soul Consciousness were still weak. He felt something strange. His face changed as he jolted up all of a sudden.
Yang Tian Emperor, Li Zheng Rong, and Di Shan discolored in fright. They couldn't help but shout. "So strong!"
"Who is it?" Bing Qing Tong's face paled, her voice trembling. "Even Lin Meng can't have such a formidable energy fluctuation. Since when does this city have such a formidable existence?"
Shi Yan's face was dark and gloomy. He squinted, using his soul to connect to the entire Utmost Eight Purgatories City. Immediately, he found the one who had stirred up the formation. "It's the old man in the outer city!"
Everybody discolored.
"Little friend, do you want to come here for a talk?" A clear voice arose from the outer city. It was like thunder blooming everywhere. Everybody could hear it clearly.
"Not good!" Yang Tian Emperor tried to press down his anger, speaking in fright. "It's him! When that old man came in, I had checked carefully. I didn't see anything strange. I didn't expect that he could hide that deep! "
If Yang Tian Emperor couldn't see through that man, his realm should be much higher than his. This meant that he was a warrior at the Second Sky of True God Realm or above. Currently, the strongest warrior in the Utmost Eight Purgatories City was at the First Sky of True God Realm.
The intimidating aura of this man made everybody restless, giving them a sense of danger.
"He doesn't seem to have bad intentions," Shi Yan pondered for a while and then said, "I'm going to meet him. I want to know what he wants."
"Don't!"
Yang Tian Emperor, Li Zheng Rong, and the others screamed, trying to stop him.
However, while Shi Yan was talking, a formation under his feet glowed with a misty halo, covering him entirely.
Shi Yan disappeared all of a sudden.
In the next moment, a light flashed in the outer city where Long Zhu and his grandson were standing. Shi Yan appeared out of thin air.
Long Zhu beamed a faint smile and nodded. "It's you, indeed. I didn't expect that you're the master of this place. What's your name?"
"Shi Yan."
"Shi Yan … I've heard this name before. Haha, you've been to the Dead Soul Mountain range. You've fought with Lie Feng. It's you. I didn't expect it."
"You are?"
Shi Yan's face was solemn, which he had never seen before. He had prepared discreetly. As soon as this old man showed any malicious intent, he would urge the barriers around to kill him at any cost.
It was lucky that the Utmost Eight Purgatories City was completed. Otherwise, Shi Yan wouldn't dare to stand close to this old man.
The aura from this old man made Shi Yan insecure. It was the same feeling he had when he faced Xuanming. His confidence was smashed to the highest sky, and he didn't want to struggle.
Xuanming was the real master of the Perpetual Night Forest, a level 9 Monster Clan great sage, who had one foot in the range of level 10. He was the strongest existence Shi Yan had ever known.
He didn't expect that this old man that Yang Tian Emperor's team had accidentally let in had reached such a realm, with such formidable power and realm.
"I'm Long Zhu. I'm not deceiving you." The old man smiled. "However, not many people in the Divine Great Land know my real name. Others call me by another name. Perhaps... you've heard it before."
"I'd like to hear the details," Shi Yan wore a solemn face.
"Qi Tian Oldie," Long Zhu smiled.
Shi Yan was shaken. Light shot out from his eyes as he couldn't believe it. His face became marvelous.
It was him!
He was the most mysterious hermit in the Divine Great Land. He hadn't been active in this land for hundreds of years. His seniority was higher than Lin Meng, Yun Hao, and Qin Gu Chuan. His age could be compared to the Monster Clan. Legends about him had always spread in the Divine Great Land. Even the leaders of the seven ancient factions were full of respect when they talked about him.
"Haha, seems like you've heard my name," Long Zhu smiled faintly. "I don't mean any harm to you guys. Quite the contrary, I have a presumptuous request. I wonder if you're interested?"
"Precursor, please tell me. If I can do it, I won't deny it," said Shi Yan cautiously.
"Yeah, this city of yours isn't bad. I want to be a part of it." Long Zhu stroked the draconic wooden staff, smiling strangely. "The alien tribes are about to invade us. I have nowhere to go. I also want to have a place to stay. This city … suits me."
Shi Yan was surprised. He looked at him and contemplated for a while. "The Ice and Fire Secret Domain is safer. Why don't you go there?"
"If I hadn't been here before, I would have gone to the Ice and Fire Secret Domain. But now … I want to stay here. The Ice and Fire Secret Domain is a narrow space outside the Grace Mainland. It's not my homeland. I want to stay here. " Long Zhu smiled and explained. "The reason why I've revealed my identity is that I don't want you to misunderstand me. Haha, this is a small request. I wonder if you can agree with me? "
Shi Yan frowned as waves rose in his heart. After a long time, he grinned. "Precursor, you're in the city."
"It's true. I'm in the city now. However … I haven't gotten your trust yet. I'm afraid that at the critical moment, you will be distracted because of me." Long Zhu was neither hurried nor slow. "Of course, I know your concerns. I won't enter the city for the time being. After this storm, if you haven't broken the city, you will have a better understanding of me. "
"Why are you so cautious? My grandpa thinks that you guys aren't bad. That's why he wants to help you. Do you think that we will harm you? "Long Ying snorted indignantly.
"No, I think you don't have bad intentions." Shi Yan relaxed a little bit. He knew that a little girl like Xiang Longying wouldn't have a cunning mind like that. Thus, her attitude meant that Long Zhu didn't have bad intentions. Shi Yan's tense nerves relaxed a little bit.
"I just want to show my identity. I don't want you to think that I have ulterior motives when you find me. As for the others … I will prove my attitude." Long Zhu smiled faintly, waving his hand. "My little friend, you're busy. I won't disturb you anymore. After six hours, the seven ancient factions will come. You should prepare well."
"If the seven ancient factions attack this city, what will you do?" Shi Yan was surprised for a while. Then, his eyes became sharp.
"I will help you defend the city. But … I won't kill the seven ancient factions' warriors," said Long Zhu.
"What if I kill the seven ancient factions' warriors?"
"Perhaps I won't be able to see it."
"Thank you."
Shi Yan bowed to him, thanking him sincerely. Then, he turned around and disappeared.
Although he didn't know why the most mysterious old man in the Divine Great Land would help him, he finally exhaled in relief.
"This guy is really cautious." Long Ying pouted, "I thought he would let us into the inner city."
"If he did that, I wouldn't value him that much," Long Zhu smiled. "The people in the city are his family and friends. If he let me in, if I have bad intentions, he would have considered how big a disaster it would be. Yeah, his action shows that although he's young, his mind is meticulous. Cautiousness is a good quality. Especially at this moment, he needs to be careful with each step. Only that way, they can live longer. "
