Little did they know, at that moment, a few people were standing beneath an ancient tree outside Spirit City.
One of them, a man reeking of alcohol, was leaning against a tree trunk and hiccuping. From time to time, he would open his gourd and pour some wine into his mouth. Even from afar, they could smell the pungent stench of alcohol.
Opposite him was a man who was constantly sharpening the axe in his hand. Between them stood an elegant young master in a white robe holding a folding fan, a tall and sturdy man with a full beard, and … a beautiful woman who seemed to be touching up her makeup with a mirror in her hand.
They …. were the Divine Generals the Profound Pavilion had sent here.
Although they looked like they were doing something else, in reality, they'd been vigilantly scanning the city with their divine senses.
They were very cautious. Their divine senses only covered the city, but they didn't probe inside.
Hu Bazi had instructed them not to let the Bai Family get within thirty thousand miles of Heavenly God City. However, to save trouble, they might as well block off the city.
So long as the Bai Family dared leave the city, they'd deal with them.
"What a powerful killing intent."
All of a sudden, the bearded man narrowed his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, the others all stopped what they were doing. Even the drunken God of Wine glanced up at him.
Whoosh.
Two air-piercing sounds streaked across the sky.
The Profound Pavilion's Divine Generals were waiting for the Bai Family members outside Spirit City. They instantly noticed Ye Zichen and the Nine Li Holy Maiden flying past.
"That kid is Big Sister's nephew, isn't he?"
The bearded man frowned. The others nodded.
Although Ye Zichen had never met these Divine Generals before, he was Xuan Ji's nephew. As her subordinates, they had to get to know him in private.
"Why'd he come here?"
As they spoke, the bearded man knit his brows.
"This killing intent is coming from him. Also, the person standing next to him seems to be a member of the Devil Clan."
The Divine Generals watched silently as Ye Zichen and the Holy Maiden of the Nine Li stopped in their tracks. They watched as Ye Zichen dashed straight for Spirit City, then the Holy Maiden passed through the gates of the Demon Realm and returned to the demon realm.
"I understand," said the elegant man with the folding fan.
The elegant young master with a folding fan frowned and said, "Actually, everything that Big Sister has arranged is for her nephew. Why don't we …"
Before he could finish his sentence, they heard several more piercing sounds in the air.
Behind them were countless whistling sounds that resembled a rain of swords.
The Divine Generals' pupils shrank. The elegant young man also spoke up.
"See that? I'm absolutely right. Based on the series of events that had transpired, this brat was probably here to cause trouble for the Bai family's Bai Yulong. Thirteen, tell Master Eight and Big Sister that Ye Zichen has come to Spirit City. "
"Alright."
The woman holding the mirror nodded, but the God of Wine had already risen to his feet.
"No need, I've already told him. Let's not stay here, let's go straight to the Bai Family. Looks like I'm going to have to use this drunkenness soon. "
Spirit City's northern gate.
Ye Zichen was furious, but he had to admit that the Holy Maiden's final warning had helped him retain a shred of reason.
When he was still a few kilometers away from the city, he gradually slowed down and spread out his divine sense.
Two Celestial Beings were resting in the city's watchtower. There were also several teams patrolling outside the city.
The city's defenses were meticulously laid out. If he rashly entered, he'd definitely be discovered. Bang!
Bang! Bang!
An afterimage flashed past.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Zichen knocked the patrolling soldiers unconscious.
Ye Zichen had done it flawlessly. Add to that the vast difference in cultivation between him and the patrolling soldiers, and the diviner resting atop the walls hadn't sensed anything at all.
It wasn't until Ye Zichen entered the tower that the diviner opened his eyes.
But before he could say anything, Ye Zichen grabbed them by the neck.
"If you don't want to die, you'd better behave yourself."
The diviner hadn't even seen how Ye Zichen had attacked, so he knew full well the gap between them.
Ye Zichen saw that the diviner didn't resist at all, so he let go. The two diviners fell heavily to the ground.
"Who are you?" shouted one of the diviners.
For a diviner to become a diviner, his courage was extraordinary. Even in the face of Ye Zichen's murderous aura, he managed to form a complete sentence.
"This is the Central Divine Mountain's Spirit City. What exactly is your goal in raiding our city at night?"
Ye Zichen had no time to waste with him, nor did he feel like wasting his breath.
"From now on, you will answer whatever I ask you. If you lie or hesitate in the slightest, you die! "
The diviner's heart trembled.
Ye Zichen's killing intent burned with fury. His opponent's aura was clearly at the diviner level, but he had no doubt that this youth had the means to kill him.
Before the diviner could speak, they heard the sound of the wind whistling through the air.
When he looked out of the city gate tower, he could feel the pressure coming from these people.
"What the hell do you want?"
The people who'd just appeared were four rulers and above. Furthermore, he knew full well that they were Ye Zichen's companions.
Ye Zichen ignored his questions and narrowed his eyes.
"Let me ask you, is there a family surnamed Bai in Spirit City?"
Suddenly, the two diviners glanced at each other, then one of the fatter diviners spoke.
"You mean …."
"Yes or no?"
"Yes!" said the other diviner.
"Where is their family estate? Is there anyone named Bai Yulong? What's his status? Is he in Spirit City right now? Speak!"
All of a sudden, the eyes of the chubby Celestial Being narrowed.
He stared intently at Ye Zichen's face, then reached out and roared.
"You …. You're Ye-zi …."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yang Jian's hand grabbed his neck fiercely. Ye Zichen hadn't expected him to move so quickly. He twisted his neck, and the fat diviner lost all signs of life.
Killing was no problem at all!
If he wasn't mistaken, this fat diviner was a member of the Bai Family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted this way upon seeing Ye Zichen. The Bai Family had definitely investigated him beforehand.
They'd attacked him so ruthlessly to prevent him from sending word back to the Bai Family.
