"Chi!"
Streak after streak of divine light rushed up, interweaving in the air and forming a killing formation that rushed towards Ye Fan. Killing intent surged into the clouds.
The city walls were ancient and had endless formation patterns. At this moment, all of them appeared, engraving themselves in the void like the symbols of gods and ghosts. They were profound and unfathomable, intimidating one's soul.
Ye Fan sucked in a breath of cold air. He activated the Row Word Art and quickly retreated, avoiding this world-shocking attack.
The formation patterns of this ancient city were extremely terrifying. He reckoned that it was at least laid down by a supreme existence and had existed for countless years. In the past, there were even Holy Lord level figures overseeing this place.
"Activate the formation patterns, protect the ancient city and kill the invading enemy!" The middle-aged man on the city walls sneered. He stared at Ye Fan in the air and gave this order.
Swoosh!
This dilapidated city was indeed strange. It was able to concentrate the power of all the divine inscriptions to a single point, and the might of the attack was incomparably great. At this moment, the divine inscriptions condensed into a sharp beam of divine light that slashed out like a heavenly sword.
Qiang!
The thousand zhang long sword radiance immediately split the heavens. It was comparable to the attack of a Holy Lord level figure. The light was blinding!
If it was a normal person, they would most likely be nursing a grievance because the ancient city's fluctuations were too fast. The beam of light instantly slashed out and was difficult to avoid.
However, Ye Fan wasn't one of them. He cultivated the Nine Secret Row Word Art and represented the highest level of achievement in this domain. He left behind an afterimage and disappeared into thin air.
"You all, you have offended your superiors! Your crimes cannot be forgiven!" Ye Fan was like a streak of light as he swooped down with a sou sound.
"Courting death. Not even a half-step supreme existence dares to attack!" The middle-aged man sneered with a hint of mockery. He activated all of the formation patterns and stood on the city walls, not moving at all.
"Swish, swish …"
The entire ancient city seemed to have come to life. It was like a peerless swordsman as it swept out streak after streak of sword radiance. They were all over a thousand zhang long and the divine light tore through the chaotic clouds.
Ye Fan's eyes lit up. This city was truly unordinary. He didn't know what kind of supreme existence left it behind, but it was a good place to nurture heavenly essence.
It was extracting the earth vein's divine essence, transforming it into exceptional offensive power. It was as if a divine lord was fighting, leaving him shaken inwardly. It was worth studying.
Hundreds and thousands of beams of light swept out, and even a fly would be smashed to pieces. However, Ye Fan approached. His strange movement technique seemed to pass through the ripples of water, breaking through the light screen and entering the city.
"You …"
The ancient city walls were in chaos. No one knew how he did it. It was as if he had entered an uninhabited place, passing through the formation patterns and entering the city.
Ye Fan's sleeves were a little tattered. Even though he activated the Xing Formula and chose a damaged part of the city wall, he was still hit by the sword radiance.
If it weren't for his mortal body surpassing that of a Holy Lord, that strike just now would have injured him. This ancient city was extremely valuable. Before he made a breakthrough in his Row Word Formula, he could only barely enter.
Ye Fan didn't say anything and walked forward with large steps. The entire street was trembling. These people's expressions didn't change, revealing vicious glints as they brandished their weapons.
"This is the territory Grand Preceptor Xiao bestowed to my brother. Do you want to steal it?" the middle-aged man shouted.
Ye Fan didn't want to waste words with him. He opened his mouth and spat out a golden lotus. It turned into a beam of light and rushed over to suppress him.
Swoosh!
The middle-aged man roared and took out an exquisite pagoda. It flickered with colorful light and went up to meet the golden lotus. However, how could it block Ye Fan's innate qi?
"Crack!"
The exquisite pagoda was pierced through on the spot, turning into a pair of scrap iron that scattered on the street. The middle-aged man staggered back, revealing an expression of disbelief.
The innate essence of a divine body was indestructible. It was not something he could understand. Ye Fan could even kill someone at the sixth transformation of the dragon transformation, let alone him.
Pow!
The lotus formed from the innate qi descended and sent him flying. He crashed heavily into the city wall, breaking his bones and tendons. He could no longer climb up.
"Don't kill me!" the middle-aged man screamed in fear. He felt that he had provoked a killer, someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"Chi", "Chi" …
Ye Fan continuously pointed with his finger and froze the dozens of soldiers. He revealed a cold smile and said, "You want to show off your power to me?!"
"Spare us! We didn't mean to offend you. It was the mayor's order!" Many people were scared and begged. Their cultivation levels were very low.
"Who dares to behave atrociously in my Lu City?" A dignified voice was heard. A terrifying wave rushed out from the mayor's residence as a divine light flew over.
A palm-sized flying sword that was as bright as autumn water and incomparably sharp shot out in all directions. It turned into a beam of lightning and slashed at Ye Fan's neck.
Its trajectory was blurry, and even the void was distorted. It was evident that its speed and power were frightening.
Clang!
Ye Fan met the attack with his bare hands, creating a string of brilliant sparks. The flying sword wailed and fell straight down. He caught it with both hands and violently shook it.
Kacha!
A secret treasure that had been tempered hundreds and thousands of times and refined with the blood and sweat of an expert was destroyed just like that, turning into iron scraps.
"This … monster! Who is this person!?" Everyone was tongue-tied.
The mayor's cultivation was at the sixth transformation of the Dragon Transformation. The flying sword that he cultivated with his life was destroyed as soon as it was taken out. This youth was too terrifying.
Whoosh!
A middle-aged man appeared. He was the mayor of Lu City. His face sank and said, "This is my Xiao Clan's territory. Are you challenging Grand Preceptor Xiao's dignity?!"
"From now on, this city has changed owners. Don't tell me you don't know. If you want to feign ignorance, I'll use my fist to tell you." Ye Fan directly rushed over and said, "Didn't you want to show off your power to me? Let me tell you, there are some people you can't offend!"
Bang!
His fist didn't blossom with brilliance, but it had the power to shatter the void. It was firm and unyielding, and its power was incomparable. Everywhere it passed, the void collapsed. It was incomparably terrifying.
"Pa cha" "Dong" …
All kinds of magic tools flew out to block Ye Fan, but under his fist, everything was futile. They all turned into fragments, and a large pile of copper and iron appeared on the ground.
The middle-aged city lord was completely stunned. He had never seen such a powerful physical body before. He thought that he had encountered a Holy Master level character, so he forgot to use his powerful magic power.
Bang!
Ye Fan's speed was extremely fast. In an instant, he arrived in front of the city lord and punched his chin. His teeth flew everywhere, and he flew hundreds of feet away like a puppet.
Boom!
This city lord crashed into the city wall on the spot. His chin was smashed into pieces, and there were many fractures all over his body. He lay there, unable to move at all. His eyes were full of shock.
"It's only so-so!" Ye Fan shook his head.
Everyone was terrified. How could they deal with such a character? He was so young, and he could be compared to the monster of the Unique Warrior Manor.
When they thought about how they had to show off their strength just now, all of their faces turned pale without a trace of blood. Many people couldn't help but tremble.
"It has nothing to do with us. It was all the city lord's orders …" After the soldiers regained their mobility, they all knelt down and continuously kowtowed. The ferocity from before had completely disappeared.
"All of you, stand up and talk." Ye Fan walked over and kicked the city lord's brothers a few times. He began to interrogate them and understood many things.
Then, he pointed at the space between everyone's eyebrows and erased some related memories. His physical body was so powerful, so he didn't want others to guess anything.
"All of you, disappear from Lu City for me. Don't let me see you again!" Ye Fan shouted loudly.
These soldiers were all cultivators with the surname Xiao. There were more than two hundred of them, but their strength was limited. Including the city lord, they were all blown away by Ye Fan, and the city lord's brothers' cultivation was crippled by Ye Fan.
When the residents of the ancient city received the news, they were all astonished. This new city lord had too much of a personality. He took office alone without any subordinates.
This dilapidated city wasn't big and could accommodate several thousand people. In fact, it was similar in size to a town.
Ye Fan didn't want this place to lose its laws and regulations, so he recruited some people and reorganized the troops in the city, establishing some rules.
As long as there was a normal order, he wouldn't interfere too much. He came here for the Desolate Hut and not to become a lord.
Ye Fan strolled through the countryside and arrived at an ancient village. It was rumored that this was the place where the ancient emperors built their hut. It was filled with a mysterious luster.
A large number of ancient locust trees surrounded the village. Every ancient tree was quite old. Some had cracked bark, and some had holes in the trunk. It was unknown how many years they had been growing for.
The ancient village wasn't big, and there were only fifty or so households. Their ancestors had lived here for generations and had never moved.
When they learned that this was the new lord, everyone was terrified and hurriedly paid their respects. Ye Fan had them rise and rewarded each of them with some silver.
Seeing that he was amiable and approachable, they were no longer afraid. They answered every question, allowing Ye Fan to understand many things.
"Lord, you must not comprehend the dao here. Our ancestors have passed down that many cultivators have died here. Nowadays, no one dares to come here."
There was nothing strange about mortals living here, but once a powerful cultivator came here to comprehend the dao, a calamity would befall them and they would mysteriously pass away.
"These locust trees have grown for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. They don't grow, nor do they die. Year after year, they haven't changed at all."
When he heard this news, Ye Fan was shocked. According to what the villagers said, these ancient trees had existed since ancient times, and they had always been like this. However, they had never become spirits.
Since then, Ye Fan would come here every day to walk around and understand a lot of things.
At this point, sitting in seclusion didn't have much effect. Now, he would go out and look at the gurgling spring and the falling leaves. It was easier for him to comprehend the dao.
After half a month, everyone in Lu City knew that this lord had nothing to do. He spent all his time sightseeing and not doing proper work. Fortunately, he was generous to others and didn't put on airs. He wouldn't punish anyone.
And the villagers became more and more familiar with him. Many children with runny noses were no longer afraid of him and liked to run behind him. This was because every time Ye Fan came, he would bring some candies.
"Dog Two's snot-nosed child, why are you crying?" Ye Fan saw a child who liked to follow behind and ask for candies. His face was covered in tears and snot.
"Dog Two's uncle was beaten up in the fields and lost a lot of blood. He can't be happy anymore, and the snot-nosed child is sad."
"His grandfather went to argue, but he was also beaten up. Even his bones were broken."
The other children ran over and talked about what had happened.
"Big Brother City Lord, quickly go and take a look. Please save them." A little girl cried.
These villagers were very simple. Even their names were Dog Two, Big Stone and so on. They said that they were easy to raise. They almost never had any conflicts. How could such a serious thing happen? Ye Fan frowned.
"Brother City Lord, quickly go and save Dog Two's uncle. Many uncles went to argue with him and lost a lot of blood." Some children ran back crying.
Ye Fan didn't put on any airs. He came to this village every day. Many children were very close to him and called him casually.
"Snot-Nosed child, don't cry. I'll go and take a look." Ye Fan strode out of the ancient pagoda forest and walked towards the fields. A group of children followed behind him.
In the fields several miles away, the sound of crying could be heard. The snot-nosed child's father was lying on the ground covered in blood. He seemed to be exhaling more than he was inhaling. There was also an old man with bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. He was sitting on the ground and shaking Dog Two to wake him up.
Many villagers gathered around, but they didn't dare to say anything. Not far away, there were a few people who were incomparably arrogant and didn't care. They were obviously cultivators.
There were a few strange beasts in the fields. One of them, a Longma, was eating the crops. The cause of the conflict was obvious. The snot-nosed child's father saw that his family was being trampled on and went to argue with them. In the end, it became like this.
"How can you bully people like this?!" A villager couldn't help but shout.
"Isn't it just eating some crops? I already said that I'll give you some money. Don't make a ruckus here. If you disturb the Longma, you can't afford to pay with your lives!" A person glared at them impatiently.
"Crops are our lives. You're wasting people." Many villagers were very indignant.
"How noisy!" That person sneered and glanced at the crowd with contempt.
Ye Fan could clearly see that those strange beasts were all rare in the world. They were not ordinary beasts. They had already gained intelligence and were probably extremely fast when they ran.
Although these people were dressed luxuriously, it was obvious that they were servants responsible for taking care of these strange beasts. It was easy to think that they were related to the geniuses of the Qishi Mansion.
The Qishi Mansion was in the celestial mountain, not too far from here. Their mounts were taken care of, so it wasn't impossible that they were grazing outside.
Soon, a villager confirmed his guess. Sure enough, they were strange beasts from the ancient celestial mountain. These people often appeared recently and were very overbearing.
"Apologize and compensate for the losses, then leave this place immediately!" Ye Fan shouted coldly.
He squatted down, took out a little Heavenly Spring and poured it into Dog Two's mouth. He massaged Dog Two's body and brought him back to life. Then he joined the broken bones of the snot baby's grandfather. The old man's hair was white, and tears flowed from his muddy eyes. Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. He looked very miserable.
Ye Fan stood up and said, "I'm talking to you. Do you hear me?"
"Who are you? Do you really think you're a big shot?" One of them sneered, and the others also snorted arrogantly.
"You're just a group of slaves. How dare you behave atrociously here? Even if your master comes, he won't be able to deal with you!" Ye Fan shouted.
"Who … who are you? How dare you control us?" Several people's expressions changed.
"I'm the lord of this place. I'm in charge of everything within a radius of a hundred miles. No matter who comes in, they must act according to my rules!" Ye Fan said coldly.
"Ha, ha … a small lord dares to talk big. You've disturbed our strange beasts. Even if you have ten lives, it won't be enough to compensate!" One of them laughed.
"Reckless thing." Ye Fan slapped out with his palm. Although these people were all experts, how could they block it? All of them spat out blood and collapsed to the ground.
"You … dare to treat us like this? Do you know who we are?" They put on a brave front.
"Aren't you just a group of slaves? Hurry up and kowtow and apologize." Ye Fan sneered and said, "I'll take this Longma. I'll kill it for the villagers and eat its meat. If you're not satisfied, then tell your master to come see me!"
