No matter how loud the surrounding cultivators cursed, they could not change their situation. They had already entered, so there was no way out.
They could only wait until the time limit was up before they were expelled from the Immortal Essence City.
A huge pulling force suddenly came from the front. In the next moment, the figures that were frozen in the air involuntarily fell down. In their field of vision, the Immortal Essence City rapidly enlarged.
Waves of exclamations sounded from all directions.
There were more than 600 to 700 cultivators who had entered the Boundless Mirage Realm this time. The scene of so many cultivators falling down together was spectacular.
Moreover, falling from such a height, even a body cultivator like Giant Armor would definitely die. This was not a matter of whether one's physique was strong or not. It was really too high. If one fell, they would definitely lose their human form.
Everyone was urging their spirit power, but the spirit power in their bodies was like a pool of stagnant water. No matter how hard they tried, they could not activate it. Those cultivators who did not know the situation were in a mess. They cursed even more fiercely. Some even cried that they had not lived enough and did not want to die.
Lu Ye had recorded this situation in the information he had bought from the Tianji Business Alliance, so he did not panic. He just tried to urge his spirit power over and over again.
Moreover, in the process of falling, everyone's figures also floated left and right uncontrollably. This situation was as if everyone had been involved in a chaotic wind flow. They could only drift with the flow and could not control their own movements. It felt extremely terrible.
The mustached cultivator and Giant Armor were originally not far from Lu Ye, but after falling for a while, they disappeared without a trace. No one knew where they had run to.
Amidst the screams of horror, everyone was getting closer and closer to the ground. When they were about 100 feet away, their rapidly falling figures were strongly cushioned and their speed sharply decreased.
When they were 30 feet away from the ground, the force that bound everyone suddenly disappeared.
The cultivators who were prepared immediately circulated their spirit force to avoid the fate of falling. Those who weren't prepared were unlucky and fell in all kinds of strange postures. Although falling from this height wasn't enough to take their lives, it was still a bit of a mess.
When Lu Ye landed, he took advantage of the momentum and somersaulted forward. Then, he stood up and pressed his hand on the hilt of his saber. He secretly urged his spirit power and looked around.
There was no one else around. He was the only one in the vicinity. He was on a street, and there were many shop-like buildings on both sides of the street. However, most of these buildings appeared to be dilapidated.
Just now, when they entered the Immortal Essence City, everyone's formation was disrupted. Originally, the cultivators from the three forces had gathered together to give them an advantage. After all, there was strength in numbers. But now, it seemed that they would have to spend a lot of time to regroup.
This was undoubtedly good news for those rogue cultivators who were alone. For a short period of time, they didn't have to worry about encountering groups of hostile cultivators.
"Who dares to trespass into Tianyuan City! Take him down! " An angry roar entered Lu Ye's ears, followed by the sound of fierce fighting from a nearby street. There were also fluctuations of spiritual energy.
Lu Ye was listening attentively when he saw two figures darting out from around the corner and running straight in his direction. They looked panicked, as if there was some dreadful monster behind them.
Two unlucky bastards! Lu Ye cursed inwardly. He quickly looked around and saw a lantern hanging in front of a shop not far away. Without even thinking about it, Lu Ye activated his Wind Travel Skill and dashed forward like lightning. He arrived in front of the shop, pushed the door open, and dodged inside.
After closing the door, Lu Ye looked outside through the crack of the door. He saw that the two cultivators who were being chased hadn't run far when a shining rope flew out from behind them. This rope-like thing wasn't a spirit weapon. It looked like a spell to lock the enemy, similar to the legendary Spirit Binding Chains.
The Spirit Binding Chains flew straight towards one of the cultivators. That cultivator was quite good. While running, he slashed with his hand and shattered the spell. He coldly snorted and said, "Insignificant skill!"
Just as he finished speaking, four or five Spirit Binding Chains flew over and wrapped around him like a rice dumpling.
The cultivator fell to the ground and kept struggling, trying to break free. However, the more he struggled, the closer the Spirit Binding Chains got. It was so tight that he couldn't breathe.
"What's the point of fighting with numbers? If you have the guts, fight me one on one!" The cultivator shouted.
Several figures silently passed by him and chased after the other cultivator.
In just ten breaths, a scream came from not far away.
Soon, the cultivator who ran away was tied up and returned. The two looked at each other, speechless and choking on their tears.
Through the crack of the door, Lu Ye saw that in addition to the two tied cultivators, there were several people in armor. The leader had a helmet with a long plume.
These were the Immortal Essence Guards. They could be seen as the city guards of the Immortal Essence City. After the destruction of the Immortal Essence City for some unknown reason, the city guards in the city had all turned into spirit bodies. Even though this was a ruined city, they still scrupulously carried out their duties and guarded the city.
This was the biggest trouble in Immortal Essence City, and the last thing that the cultivators who came here wanted to encounter.
Because the Immortal Yuan Guards were all in the Eighth or Ninth Order, and the leaders were even comparable to the Seventh Order. It was said that there was also a commander of the city guards.
As for the cultivation of Immortal Essence City's City Lord … no one knew. No cultivator who entered the City Lord's Mansion came out alive.
The Immortal Yuan Guards were not to be trifled with. They basically acted in teams of five or six people, and each team had a leader. Ordinary cultivators didn't dare to provoke such a team.
Just by looking at the two captured cultivators, it was clear that they weren't weak. One was in the Eighth Order, and the other was in the Ninth Order. However, when faced with this team of Immortal Yuan Guards, they were captured without any resistance.
"Take them to the dungeon!" The leader of the Immortal Yuan Guards, who had a hair on his head, waved his hand and shouted.
Lu Ye mourned in his heart. Everyone came to Immortal Essence City to fish for benefits, but as soon as they came in, they were captured by the Immortal Yuan Guards and sent to the dungeon. Although their lives weren't in danger for the time being, who knew what would happen after they were sent to the dungeon?
It was said that those who were sent to the dungeon would be tortured. If they could hold on until they were rejected by Immortal Essence City, they could still save their lives. But if they couldn't, there was a high probability that they would die here.
After giving the order, the leader rushed to the shop where Lu Ye was in a few steps. He stuck one eye to the crack of the door and looked at Lu Ye at a close distance. He said fiercely, "You dare to commit crimes in Immortal Essence City? This is your fate!"
After leaving behind a threatening sentence, the leader left.
Lu Ye watched his figure disappear, but he didn't put down his hand on the hilt of his saber. He let out a light breath. The nine hundred Spirit Stones were well spent. If it weren't for the information recorded in the jade slip about Immortal Essence City, he wouldn't have known how to deal with the situation just now. He would probably have had to fight with the team of Immortal Yuan Guards.
According to the information recorded in the jade slip, the buildings with lanterns hanging high at the door seemed to have some special power protecting them. The Immortal Yuan Guards wouldn't enter them.
This was also the reason why Lu Ye rushed into this shop.
At this time, a large number of cultivators had broken into Immortal Essence City. The city would definitely be in chaos for a while. Instead of running around like a headless fly, it was better to hide first and wait for the situation to stabilize before making plans.
He didn't know how many people had been taken away by the Immortal Yuan Guards …
Lu Ye turned around and quietly looked not far away.
Ten feet away, there was a middle-aged man with a round figure and wearing an official's robe. He was rubbing his hands and looking at Lu Ye with a smile.
He was a little unlucky …
Most of the buildings with lanterns hanging at the door were ownerless. People could go in to take refuge when they encountered the Immortal Yuan Guards, but some of them had owners.
These spirits, who had been dead for many years, rarely met living people, so they would often make some strange requests. If the requests of these spirits were satisfied, they could leave safely. But if they were not satisfied, they would have to pay some price.
The price was often very heavy … such as life!
In short, Immortal Essence City was a very strange place.
"Little friend, it's fate that we met. Do you want to take a gamble?"
This guy must have been a gambler when he was alive.
Lu Ye's eyes wandered around the other party's neck, wondering if he could kill this guy with a slash of his saber.
But considering that the spirit aura on the other party's body was comparable to that of a Seventh Order Heaven Grade, the possibility was not high. So, he suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and decided to let him go.
"Okay."
The fat spirit's expression became more and more amiable as he called out to Lu Ye, "Come with me!"
Lu Ye followed the fat spirit into the room with his saber. There was a gambling table inside. Lu Ye saw this and knew that his previous guess was right. This spirit was indeed a gambler when he was alive.
The fat spirit sat on the main seat and gestured with his hand, "Sit."
Lu Ye pulled out the chair in front of him and sat down slowly.
"This one is Liu Sanbao. How should I address you, little friend?"
"Lu Yiye!"
Liu Sanbao chuckled when he heard this, "Little friend and I are really fated to meet. Your name matches well. It seems that little friend is not a gambling addict, so you should not be proficient in this. Let's make it simple. How about a dice game?"
"This is your place. You have the final say," Lu Ye replied casually.
"Then it's a deal." He rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was about to go all out. He flipped his hand and a dice cup appeared out of nowhere. He took out three dice and threw them into the cup. A crisp sound was heard immediately.
Lu Ye glanced at the dice cup indifferently and did not say anything.
Liu Sanbao closed the dice cup and shook it gently. Then, he slapped the cup on the table and shouted, "Big on the left, small on the right. Little friend Lu, you may begin."
He looked excited. It was obvious that no one had gambled with him for a long time.
"What can I bet on?"
"You can bet on anything. You can bet on even a strand of hair."
Lu Ye took out a spirit stone and threw it to the right.
"Place your bets!" Liu Sanbao shouted excitedly again. Then, he opened the dice cup and laughed, "Four, five, six, big. Little friend, you have lost."
With that, Liu Sanbao put away the spirit stone and closed the dice cup. He shook it vigorously and shouted what he had just said.
"Big on the left, small on the right."
Lu Ye took out a spirit stone and threw it to the right as usual.
