City center.
The Human Clan, the Winged Clan, the Dark Devil Clan, and even the Monster Clan were busy. Under the arrangement of Yang Zhuo's team, the warriors who had surrendered to Shi Yan were adding energy to the barriers and formations.
The Human Clan members who came from the outside handed over the rare materials they had. Yang Zhuo's team arranged them to add the materials to the formations.
For the time being, the city center was bustling with people cheering and screaming. Many warriors from the outside felt lucky to have a new lease on life. They listened to Yang Zhuo's team's orders.
Yang Tian Emperor and Cao Qiu Dao had returned. The traitors who had left the Yang family were all killed. No one was left.
Yang Tian Emperor didn't hate them for leaving. What he hated was that they had betrayed him. Shen Lin and Dong Jin had stayed in the Yang family, enticing the hesitant ones to take them away. They wanted to gain benefits from the Pure Land and the Martial Spirit Palace.
The ones who had planned all of this were Feng Biao of the Devil Valley and Xue Mu of the Pure Land. They had used their power to force Shen Lin and Dong Jin to give up their friendship and attack the Yang family discreetly.
In Yang Tian Emperor's eyes, those people deserved to die ten thousand times for their crimes. Thus, they were all dead.
Yu Rou and Yi Tian Mo had entered the Creator's Divine Pond. With the True God Realm cultivation base, they came back with high spirits. Seeing the others safe and sound, they felt satisfied and happy.
In this chaotic time, an excellent leader was more important than anything else. They felt lucky that Shi Yan was this kind of person.
Bing Qing Tong, Leng Dan Qing, Han Cui, and Shuang Yu Zhu stayed in the city center, gazing at Shi Yan. They were afraid that he would do something bad, their eyes resentful.
There were hundreds of beautiful women in the city center. They all looked like they had taken some aphrodisiac. When they saw Shi Yan, they winked at him, showing their most beautiful faces. They hated that they couldn't jump into his embrace and push him down to the ground.
In this era, only relying on the strong could help them survive. Those women understood this principle.
In their hearts, if they could have one night with Shi Yan, they would have a guarantee of their lives. They wouldn't need to worry about the pagans anymore.
They tried their best. As long as they saw Shi Yan, they would be as passionate as fire, causing many men to cast sidelong glances at them with envy and jealousy.
Shi Yan didn't have that much free time. After looking around the inner city for a while, he sat down on the round platform in the center of the city. His expression suddenly became focused.
After Lin Meng and Nie Ruo died, the Essence Qi emitted from them was massive. The energy of the two True God Realm warriors rolled torrentially in Shi Yan's acupuncture points, giving him a piercing pain. While he was refining the Essence Qi, he felt like he was being tortured. He clenched his teeth in pain.
Fortunately, he had found a way to solve this problem.
Bing Qing Tong, Han Cui, Leng Dan Qing, and Shuang Yu Zhu were here. Once he couldn't endure the furious negative moods, he just needed to blink his eyes, and the four beautiful ice flowers would immediately entangle him to solve his flame of desire.
Thus, he wasn't worried about the backfire of energy. Quite the contrary, Bing Qing Tong's group of four had harvested big benefits from him.
As they had just entered the True God Realm, they lacked energy. Under normal circumstances, they would have to refine their Essence Qi for at least ten years to reach the threshold to enter the next realm.
Shi Yan had helped them take a big step forward.
A part of the mysterious energy was given to the four ice flowers, while a small part was given to Long Zhu, which helped him recover faster. Most of the energy was distributed to his entire body, strengthening his body to an unimaginable level.
Even his Star Martial Spirit had received a big benefit.
At the same time, each branch of the Profound Qi ancient tree in his body had become as translucent as jade, filled with thick Profound Qi.
Just one more step, one more epiphany, and he could take another step to enter the True God Realm.
He had made up his mind. After this was done, he would immediately enter the Creator's Divine Pond. With the magical power of the pond, he would enter the True God Realm.
With everyone's hard work, the restrictions, barriers, and formations in the inner city were restored to normal. Even the outer city that had collapsed was infused with energy, and ugly mounds of earth were rising from the ground.
When Shi Yan got down from the round platform, he found that the more people there were, the more power there was. Everything was going smoothly. Nothing had happened to him.
Yun Hao and Yu Wan Jiang approached him, their faces bitter. They sent him the news: The Ice and Fire Secret Domain was lost.
Of course, he wasn't surprised by this news. From the moment he found out that the Outsiders were guarding the entrance, he had already guessed that the current situation would develop. Therefore, he remained calm and only frowned and asked, "How many of you are still inside?"
"Several thousand," Yun Hao beamed a forced smile. "Low-realm warriors, or the families of the Elders. They don't have the power to defend."
Yu Wan Jiang's face was heavy, as he was worried.
"No solution," Shi Yan pondered for a while, then shook his head and sighed. "Don't be sad. I think... they're all killed. I can't help you. If you were in the city center, things wouldn't have turned out this way. "
Yun Hao and Yu Wan Jiang were dispirited and begrudging. They knew that they had made a wrong assumption. They had placed their chips on Lin Meng, which had killed several thousand disciples.
Shi Yan comforted them, then continued to release his Soul Consciousness to control the Utmost Eight Purgatories City. He was sensitive enough to adjust the chaotic energy, waiting for the next attack.
An hour passed quietly. Two gray clouds floated in the distance and appeared in the outer perimeter of the inner city at a steady pace.
After a while, Corpse Chief, Corpse Mount, Corpse Sea, and Kante of the Dark Clan and the Dark Spirit Clan also appeared, standing together with Bao Ao and Jie Ji.
All the members of the Human Clan in the city center tensed up. Their faces changed dramatically, as they all had their own responsibilities, preparing discreetly.
"Haha, we meet again. You're not ordinary at all. You've made the seven ancient factions return empty-handed, and even suffered a big loss." Bao Ao laughed cheerfully, looking at the city center. "Little buddy, don't you want to come out and meet your friends?"
Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea were standing next to Corpse Chief. Their ash-gray eyes were anxious, gazing at the city center.
"Don't go!" Yang Tian Emperor gave a low shout.
Di Shan, Li Zheng Rong, and Bing Qing Tong immediately advised him not to leave the city center.
He was the soul of the city center. Without his soul to control the city center, its power would be reduced sharply, and it wouldn't be able to use its strongest attack.
They were afraid that the pagans would use words to lure Shi Yan out. Then, they would kill him and break the city, extinguishing the light of the Human Clan.
Shi Yan frowned, nodded, and said, "I know."
Then, he turned into a faint shadow, crossing the city wall and arriving at the place where the energy of the Utmost Eight Purgatories Prison was hovering. He appeared, looking at Bao Ao's group from a distance, grinning. "Hello, guys. What do you want to teach me after such a long journey? I'm sorry, but the city's a mess. I won't invite you in. If you want to drink with me, can we do it outside? "
"Haha, good kid. I like it," Jie Ji patted his thigh, his eyes brightening. After his voice faded, he disappeared.
In the next moment, Jie Ji reappeared in the center of the Utmost Eight Purgatories Prison, as if he didn't know he was in danger. Dark red wine jars floated in front of him. The seals of the jars were torn, and the intoxicating aroma of the wine diffused, tempting people's noses and mouths.
"Come here, let's drink. Let's not talk business," Jie Ji waved his hand. Three jars of strong liquor slowly flew towards Shi Yan.
Shi Yan's face was indifferent. He smiled and said, "Alright."
He took one step forward, as if he didn't know that the further he went, the more dangerous it would be. He didn't know that the other clans were waiting for the right time to kill him.
Shi Yan stopped three meters in front of Jie Ji. Ten wine jars were floating in the void between the two of them. Each of them was as big as a rice jar, with an intoxicating aroma of wine.
Shi Yan didn't wait for Jie Ji to talk more. He rose his hand, and a big wine jar fell into his palm. Right in front of the others, he threw his head back and gulped down the wine. His throat trembled continuously. He looked like a reckless man who didn't know the danger he was in.
Jie Ji was surprised, as he didn't expect Shi Yan to have such a heroic spirit. He gazed at Shi Yan with a strange face, his eyes showing his great interest.
Gulp! Gulp!
Shi Yan didn't say anything. He just kept drinking like a bull. After dozens of seconds, he had drunk the whole jar. He then turned the jar over and shook it in front of Jie Ji. He blushed and said, "Not a drop is left. I didn't waste your good wine. What do you think?"
Jie Ji beamed a smile. His smile widened as he faced the sky and laughed crazily. "Good! You're heroic enough! Haha! Kid, you suit my taste. Not bad. Not bad at all. "
Pausing for a while, Jie Ji stopped laughing, looking at Shi Yan. "You're a human, and I'm a Demon. Aren't you afraid that I've poisoned your wine? That I'm going to kill you? "
Shi Yan wiped the wine stain on the corner of his mouth and laughed. "Of course I am. But I heard that the Demon Clan has always been upright. They won't use this kind of evil trick to deal with their enemies. That's why I dared to drink. Argh, if Comoros had brought me the wine, I wouldn't have dared to touch even a drop. "
Jie Ji patted his thigh. The smile on his face became wider. Shi Yan's flattery felt good. He said continually, "Good! You're straightforward enough. I like you. "
Then, Jie Ji grabbed a jar of wine and gulped it down right in front of Shi Yan. He didn't have any energy fluctuation on his body, as if he didn't have any precaution.
"Kill him! Kill him! "
Many members of the Human Clan in the city center were shouting in a low voice, their eyes filled with hope.
They all saw that at this moment, Jie Ji didn't have any aura. It seemed he didn't have any precaution against Shi Yan. If they attacked him now, they could hurt him a little bit. At least, they could make him flustered.
"Shut up!" Yang Tian Emperor snorted, glaring at them.
Most of those people were from the seven ancient factions and the other small forces. They didn't have a sense of belonging, and they had a deep prejudice against the alien tribes.
Under his glare, everybody kept quiet. They didn't dare to say a word. They just smiled embarrassedly, lowering their heads.
"Drink. Drink."
Bao Ao smiled and watched for a while. Then, he walked in, taking Jie Ji's good wine and throwing his head back to gulp it down. He didn't release any beam of aura from his body, as if he was in his friend's house. He didn't have any sense of danger.
