At night, the noise in the restaurant gradually disappeared as the night deepened. Only a few autumn cicadas remained, chirping incessantly outside. However, this sound did not annoy anyone. Instead, it made one feel a strange sense of carefreeness and joy.
The bright moonlight shone on the window sill where Xiao Hei was sleeping.
Lin Tian was lying on the cold bed made of white jade in the room.
As for Wu Sanhan, he was sleeping next door.
The night was getting darker and the moon was getting brighter.
For some reason, the moon that was originally missing a portion had become perfectly round at this moment.
At this moment, Lin Tian and Xiao Hei seemed to have sensed something and opened their eyes at the same time.
"Be careful, Young Master."
Xiao Hei couldn't help but shout the moment she opened her eyes.
It was neither fast nor slow. Just as Xiao Hei's voice sounded, a terrifying sword light locked on to this place and slashed through the void. In an instant, the restaurant was reduced to ashes.
At this moment, Lin Tian rushed to the next door and grabbed the sleeping Wu Sanhan. In the blink of an eye, they were one mile away in the void.
Looking at the restaurant that had been reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye, Lin Tian's eyes darkened.
Indeed, his intuition during the day was not wrong.
Someone was indeed watching him today.
However, this person did not choose to attack during the day. Instead, he chose to attack at night, which was generally the time when the guard was the weakest.
If he had not reacted in time, Wu Sanhan would definitely have died here together with the restaurant.
"Who is it? Why are you acting so sneakily? If you have the ability, then come out and fight me! "
Xiao Hei, who had also dodged the sword light, soared into the sky and transformed into the giant roc. Its roar shook the heavens and the earth. Its terrifying aura made Yingyue City tremble involuntarily.
Countless cultivators were awakened from their sleep by Xiao Hei's roar. They were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat.
They ran out of the door and looked at the giant roc in the sky, which seemed to have merged with the night sky. Their expressions changed drastically.
"It's the Heaven Devouring Roc Ancestor!"
Very soon, someone recognized Xiao Hei's identity and could not help but gasp. Then, a look of horror appeared on their faces.
Almost everyone in the Divine Prefecture knew that the Sky Devouring Roc Ancestor was inseparable from the reincarnated Celestial Emperor of All Spirits. Since it was here, the reincarnated Celestial Emperor of All Spirits had to be here too.
One must know that this duo could slay existences of the Saint Ancestor level with ease!
But now, from Xiao Hei's tone, it seemed like someone had made a move on them tonight. Who was it that had the guts to do so?
Could it be that a Quasi-emperor had made a move?
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in fear.
Whether it was a Sacred Battle or a Martial Emperor Battle, they wanted to watch. However, this did not mean that they were willing to stay on the battlefield to watch. Given their current position, if there really were Quasi-emperors like the [Sky Devouring Roc Ancestor] made a move, it was inevitable that they would be implicated.
After all, a battle at that level was simply too terrifying.
If it was light, it would shatter mountains and rivers. If it was heavy, it would sink an entire region.
Just the aftermath alone would be enough to flatten their city.
Not to mention anything else, just the sword strike in the restaurant alone would have been enough to split Yingyue City into two halves if the attacker hadn't been trying to hide his aura, or if he hadn't been restraining his power and didn't intend to affect anything else.
In the face of such a great battle that was about to break out, it would be a lie to say that they were not afraid.
For a moment, everyone in Yingyue City was terrified.
Regardless of whether their cultivation was strong or weak, at this moment, they took advantage of the fact that the battle had not yet begun to run frantically. They ran as far as they could, not daring to hesitate for a moment. They were afraid that the battle would break out in the next moment and the aftermath of the battle would instantly flatten them.
In the sky, Xiao Hei's aura was growing stronger and stronger.
Wu Sanhan also came back to his senses.
He looked at the restaurant that had been reduced to dust by the sword strike just now. His back was already drenched in cold sweat and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Lin Tian stood in front of Wu Sanhan and his gaze fell on the moonlight. His expression was calm as he waited for that person to strike again.
However, what puzzled everyone was that the person hiding in the dark had only struck once from the beginning to the end. After that one strike failed, he did not strike again. Even Lin Tian and Xiao Hei did not succeed in tracking that person's aura.
From the beginning, the person seemed to have the intention of immediately fleeing if his attack failed.
After that one strike, he immediately retracted his aura.
At that time, both Xiao Hei and Lin Tian were not thinking of tracking that aura to find the person who had struck out the sword. Instead, they were thinking of something else, which gave the person in the dark an opportunity to successfully cover his tracks.
However, there was one thing that both Lin Tian and Xiao Hei were certain of. The person who had struck was definitely a Quasi-emperor.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult for a mere Divine Ancestor to escape their eyes.
"Cowardly thing, do you only dare to launch sneak attacks from the dark?"
Xiao Hei was still roaring angrily. Even though it was certain that the person would not strike again, it still did not dare to let its guard down.
After all, that person was a Quasi-emperor.
Xiao Hei was not afraid of such a person at all if he came out and fought with real swords and spears.
However, if they were to hide in the dark, especially those who had practiced the Stealth Assassination Technique, they would definitely be an existence that would cause incomparable headaches. One had to be on guard at all times. Otherwise, once the other party was given the opportunity, there might be the risk of death.
Therefore, some people who had practiced such techniques and remarkable abilities were the people that the cultivators of the Nine States were most unwilling to provoke.
This was because even if such a person could not defeat you in a fight, he would still have to keep an eye on you at all times. This was enough to tire you out.
In order to be on guard, one had to be alert at all times. Over time, one would become extremely tired.
This would also give the other party an opportunity to strike.
"Let's go. He won't strike again."
After a long while, Lin Tian said.
Hearing this, Xiao Hei roared angrily, then turned around, changed back to its original form, and landed on Lin Tian's shoulder.
"Since this place does not welcome us, let's go."
Lin Tian turned back, took a deep look at the Void under the moonlight, and then walked toward the center of the city.
Seeing this, a white-haired old man hurriedly came over. "May I ask if you are Lin Tian, Emperor?"
"Yes."
"Your presence brings light to this humble city. Your Majesty, please come in for a chat," the white-haired old man hurriedly invited Lin Tian in.
Lin Tian shook his head. "No, it's not convenient for me to stay here because of some matters. Please forgive me."
"Your Majesty, you are too polite."
Hearing this, the white-haired old man was flattered. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty is already giving us a lot of face by coming to this small city. No matter what trouble there is, it has nothing to do with you."
At the end, the old man asked again, "Your Majesty, are you here to borrow the teleportation formation?"
"Yes, I would like to borrow your city's formation to make a trip to the Northern Plains."
Lin Tian did not deny it.
Hearing this, the white-haired old man looked at Lin Tian strangely, then said, "That's not a problem. Your Majesty, please come with me."
This white-haired old man was obviously the person in charge of Yingyue City. He was not weak, and his cultivation had already reached the Transcendent Realm. He was a Sage Realm figure, but in front of Lin Tian and Xiao Hei, his cultivation was not enough.
He brought Lin Tian and Xiao Hei to the teleportation altar of Yingyue City, then said, "I have already activated the formation. Your Majesty, you can go over at any time."
"What do you need?"
Lin Tian asked.
The white-haired old man shook his head. "Your Majesty, you are already thinking highly of our Yingyue City by coming here. How would we dare to ask for anything else? Although it is precious to activate the formation once, it is still worth it to send your Majesty off."
"Oh, is that so?"
Lin Tian smiled noncommittally, then said, "If that's the case, then I will accept." “
"Alright, Celestial Emperor, take care."
The white-haired old man smiled.
Hearing this, Lin Tian waved his hand and stepped onto the altar. Seeing this, Wu Sanhan hurriedly followed.
In the next moment, a ray of moonlight descended from the sky and landed on the altar, enveloping Lin Tian and the others.
Seeing this scene, the white-haired old man, who originally had a kind expression, gradually turned cold. His smile also turned into a sneer.
Haha, the Celestial Emperor?
