The source of all of this was because Wutian's fist had shattered the purple-clothed man's energy sea!
This also meant that his thousands of years of cultivation had been wasted. All of it had turned into bubbles, no longer existing. If his primordial spirit hadn't escaped quickly enough, it would have been destroyed along with his energy sea!
Although his primordial spirit had been lucky enough to survive, his energy sea had been shattered and there was no place for his primordial spirit to stay. If he didn't have a powerhouse protecting him, then even if he wasn't destroyed by this person, he would sooner or later be killed by his other enemies.
It had to be known that as a city guard commander, the number of enemies he had made over the years wasn't a small number.
Thus, this purple-clothed man was basically dead. Unless his luck was so good that he defied the heavens and he found a treasure that could restore his energy sea. But, did such a treasure really exist? Even if there was, it wasn't something that a small city guard commander like him could obtain.
The purple-clothed man crawled up with difficulty, carefully protecting his primordial spirit behind him. He glared at Wutian and gloomily said, "So you were lying to me before. You didn't just break through to the Divine Transformation realm, but you're a Large Success realm powerhouse!"
"Large Success realm?"
Wutian was stunned. Then, he shook his head and laughed, "Just treat it as if I was lying to you! Now, can you tell me about the shadow guard election and the situation in the movie theater? "
"Movie theater? Why are you inquiring about the movie theater? " It was only now that the purple-clothed man directly faced this question. But, he also began to doubt himself. This person kept asking about the movie theater, just what were his intentions?
As for the list of candidates for the shadow guard election, the purple-clothed man had an intuition that this person was only casually asking about it. In truth, he didn't care too much about it. What he cared about was likely the details of the movie theater.
This person's cultivation was so high and his combat strength was so strong. Even a city guard commander like him had been defeated in a single strike, much less those candidates for the shadow guard election. From start to finish, this person probably didn't care about them at all.
"It's best if you don't ask about the reason. If you want to protect your primordial spirit, then hurry up and tell me!" Wutian took several steps forwards, lightly saying.
"So not only did he already know about the purple-robed man's scheme, he even set up a trap at the city gate and let the purple-robed man jump in himself." Cang Zheng looked at the back of the figure in front of him in a daze, his heart uneasy.
At the city gate, Wutian's various actions and the words he whispered to the purple-robed man were all seen and heard by Cang Zheng. However, he did not pay much attention to it. Now that he thought about it, he suddenly realized that it was Wutian who had deliberately set up a trap.
Facing a stranger who possessed the essence of fire element, the purple-clothed man was naturally very vigilant. However, Wutian said that the two of them had just broken through to the Divine Transformation realm. As for why it was difficult to see through their cultivation, that was because they had cultivated some crooked path.
In addition, Wutian's expression at that time had been very realistic, as if he had been moved. As the purple-robed man saw this, his vigilance turned into disdain. Without any more hesitation, he killed off the four city guards first and then moved on to the two of them.
Rather than saying that the purple-robed man was probing Wutian to obtain the treasures on his body, it was better to say that Wutian had deliberately set up a series of traps so that the purple-robed man would fall into the abyss step by step.
"What a terrifying fellow!"
Cang Zheng couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. The longer he stayed with Wutian, the more terrifying he became. Before, he had even thought of dealing with him, but now he couldn't help but want to laugh.
At the same time, he bitterly smiled in his heart. The two of them had been enemies from the start, so he hadn't discovered anything special about Wutian besides his strength. But now he knew that compared to Wutian's strength, his temperament and schemes were far more terrifying.
Wutian and the purple-robed man naturally didn't know what Cang Zheng was thinking. The two of them looked at each other, and finally, the purple-robed man gave in.
He took out a piece of white paper from his chest. On it were densely written small words. With a slight shake of his arm, it flew towards Wutian. "This is the name list for the Shadow Guard election. As for the Movie Palace, I really don't know anything about it. Because I've never been to the Movie Palace, I don't have the qualifications to go."
"Take it and take a good look. These people could be your opponents." After a quick glance, Wutian threw the paper to Cang Zheng. The latter pursed his lips and muttered in his heart, "The others are fine, but I definitely can't meet a bastard like you."
The election rules were random by drawing lots. In other words, his opponent might not be anyone else. He might even meet Wutian in the first round.
"Don't worry, I won't let you be my opponent. Because you're not qualified." Wutian transmitted his voice. Then, he ignored Cang Zheng, whose eyes were spitting fire, and looked at the purple-robed man. He frowned and asked, "You really don't know about the situation in the Movie Palace?"
"I really don't know. Don't think that I'm the First City's City Guard Commander. In fact, in the eyes of the people in the Movie Palace, I'm less than an ant. Even the Lord City Lord is the same. The Lord City Lord once told me personally that he once went to the Movie Palace to handle some business. However, he was humiliated by the Movie Palace's City Guards the moment he entered the city." The purple-robed man shook his head and said self-deprecatingly.
"Why does it sound more and more unbelievable? What kind of place is the Movie Palace? " Wutian's interest was immediately piqued. However, he was also a little disappointed. He had thought that he would be able to pry something out of this man's mouth. Who would have thought that everything he had done so far would have been in vain.
Wutian glanced at the purple-robed man and murderous intent filled his eyes. A purple light shot out from his chest and shot towards the purple-robed man.
It was ferocious and impressive. Two rows of steel teeth that looked like they were cast from Purple Gold Divine Iron flashed with a terrifying sharpness! This was the Gold Devouring Rat. The Gold Devouring Rat's greatest weapon was its teeth. Black Iron Essence and Diamond Stones were only worthy of being its snacks!
Seeing the sudden appearance of the ferocious beast, the purple-robed man's expression changed drastically. Despair welled up in his heart as he hurriedly cried out, "I've already told you everything you wanted to know. Why do you still want to kill me … Ah!"
The Gold Devouring Rat suddenly grew in size. It was more than ten feet tall. It opened its wide mouth and swallowed the purple-robed man and his Primordial Spirit in one gulp. His voice also stopped abruptly.
"Bah, bah, bah! It's disgusting! " The Gold Devouring Rat spat out a few mouthfuls of saliva and turned back to the size of a finger. It burrowed into Wutian's chest. He could still vaguely hear the mocking laughter of the Four Headed Ape and the Gold Devouring Rat's complaints.
At this moment, Cang Zheng said bashfully, "Wutian, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Beg me?" Wutian was extremely surprised. This Young Pavilion Master actually took the initiative to beg him. Was his brain damaged by the Golden Savage Bull?
"Speak! As long as it's not too excessive, I'll consider it. "
"In the future, when you interact with others in Darkness City, can you let me go? You can supervise me from the side. If I do anything wrong, you can immediately point it out." Suddenly seeing Wutian frown, Cang Zheng hurriedly added, "Don't worry, I'll try my best to control my emotions. I won't cause you any trouble."
"Haven't you caused me enough trouble?" Wutian teased. Unexpectedly, Cang Zheng actually blushed and looked at him with a very resentful gaze, causing Wutian to have goosebumps all over his body.
"Ha! If you want to go, then go. If you change and become useful, I'll be able to report to the Pavilion Master as soon as possible. "Wutian smiled embarrassedly, then turned and left without looking back.
"Sometimes, this bastard doesn't seem so annoying." Cang Zheng thought inexplicably, then muttered in his heart, "If I let him know my true identity, I don't know how he'll react. He'll probably be very shocked. Maybe with his personality, he'll just be slightly surprised …"
With a wave of his hand, the soil churned and the bodies of Zhou Qian and the others were buried underground. Then, he slowly followed.
Just as Wutian and Cang Zheng stepped through the gate and disappeared into the city, a man in black appeared at the place where the purple man and the others were killed. With a light wave of his hand, the bodies of Zhou Qian and the others who were buried by Cang Zheng previously emerged with the soil.
"How can Li Feng and Yan Kuan be so powerful? Even the first city guard commander could be killed with a flip of their hand. And that purple rat, why haven't I heard of it before?"
"It seems that this matter is not so simple. I have to inform the City Lord. Who knows, maybe Li Feng can really become a Shadow Guard this time. At that time, my Ninth City will undergo earth-shattering changes. I can also go to the Eternal Stakes to gamble."
After muttering to himself, the man in black buried Zhou Qian and the others and disappeared without a trace.
However, after the man had left, another figure appeared. This was a thin middle-aged man who was dressed in luxurious purple-gold robes. His features were chiseled and his aura was rather extraordinary. He stood in the air like a purple-gold star and was extremely dazzling!
"I never thought that I would run into such an interesting matter on a whim and come out for a walk. The city guard commander had been killed in one blow. How interesting. Should I tell Wang Fan about this and put some pressure on this kid. Let's see what else he's capable of? "
"Forget it. Based on my status, if I were to do something so shameless and the world finds out, I'd definitely become a laughing stock. It's better to let nature take its course. However, to be honest, I'm really looking forward to this kid's performance."
…
At the battle arena.
The First City's battle arena was located at the very center of the city. It covered an area of around ten thousand feet and could hold at least a hundred thousand people.
The battle arena was also the most lively place in the First City because there was a written rule in the First City that private fights were not allowed. Only the battle arena was allowed. Hence, this place had become a place where everyone could settle their personal grudges.
The population of the First City was around one hundred and fifty thousand people. Conflicts would break out almost every day. Every day, no less than a hundred people would enter the battle arena to fight to the death.
Some people with sharp eyes would come up with crooked ideas. They would set up gambling houses and bet on who would win and who would lose in order to reap great benefits from the process. Over time, most people in the city had gotten used to this. Every time a fight began, they would come and join in the fun.
In the end, the Governor's palace had taken a liking to the benefits of this place and immediately issued an order to expel everyone else. The Governor then personally sent someone to set up the only gambling house in this place and named it the Eternal Gambling House!
The Eternal Gambling House was built right next to the main entrance of the battle arena. Four large, dazzling golden words hung on a pitch-black building, appearing particularly eye-catching. The three words hanging on the main entrance of the battle arena paled in comparison.
Today, the Eternal Gambling House was many times livelier than usual. It was packed to the brim with voices and discussions. All of this was because today was the day of the battle for the position of Shadow Guard!
"Using such a method to amass wealth, the Governor of the First City must be crazy about wealth." Wutian and Cang Zheng were standing in the crowd not too far away from the Eternal Gambling House. Cang Zheng pursed his lips and spoke disdainfully as he stared at the crowded place.
