Chapter 379: Spiritually-Restrained Zilong City

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yun Yang did not linger. After the short exchange, he left upon understanding Shangguan Lingxiu’s purpose of this trip.

To Yun Yang, there was nothing more important than verifying if the assassin stranded in Ziyou was, in fact, Old Dugu. Even though other matters were relevant to the Shangguan Family of Generals and Shangguan Wudi, it was more urgent to look after the living than the dead!

Watching Yun Yang leave, Shangguan Lingxiu bit her plump lips as she stood on the deck; a strange feeling rose within her.

This Lord Supreme Wind… he has never contacted me before… Yet, why does he seem so familiar?

Why do I feel this sense of familiarity about him? Who does he remind me of?

Shangguan Lingxiu’s hair fluttered in the wind as she thought, "Lord Supreme Wind has never shown his real face, but he should be someone I know."

Inexplicably, Shangguan Lingxiu, whose heart was palpitating regarding this trip to the Empire of Ziyou, was very much placated. The ship was still moving forward.

"I’ll take a nap," Shangguan Lingxiu thought quietly to herself.

She had been wracking her brain about what she should do and how she should tackle the issue these past few days, but now that she was suddenly relieved of her burden, the accumulated fatigue overwhelmed her. It was best to rest quickly and regain her energy.

…

Yun Yang charged through his journey as wind for a moment and as water for the next; when he cultivated the Holy Water Charm, his speed was naturally much faster than that of the large vessel.

Only about another day had passed when Yun Yang arrived at Zilong City. However, his face fell as he approached his destination.

He realized that Zilong City had been turned into an area of spiritual restraint!

In other words, the atmosphere within Zilong City was the same as when the Nine Supremes had been ambushed.

Under such circumstances, even Yun Yang, whose cultivation base had improved tremendously, could not sneak into the city using the Nine Supremes’ manifestation powers but had to enter it physically.

It was only a small area, Tianxuan Cliff when the Nine Supremes were attacked then, but now, it was the entire Zilong City!

Yun Yang stood fifty miles away with a frown between his brows, looking at Zilong City with a dark expression.

As his anxiety grew stronger, another question blossomed within Yun Yang\'s mind.

The Empire of Ziyou obviously had its reasons for forming such a spiritual restraining formation, because once the formation was activated, no cultivator could take in the spiritual Qi from heaven and earth no matter where he stood in the entire Zilong City.

In other words, as long as the formation remained, all the practitioners in the area of Zilong City would be halted at their current level unless they fled far and high, leaving Zilong City.

Yun Yang still had to enter Zilong City; only then could he confirm the identity of that assassin!

It made him come to a conclusion - Zilong City was a trap! One that was designed specially to capture him.

It was a conspiracy! A conspiracy aimed at stopping him.

It was not that Yun Yang was overly worried, but the current situation spelled it loud and clear. There was no doubt that it was a trap.

Seeing that the spiritual sealing formation covered the entire Zilong City, how big an effort did it have to be and whose doing was it? To seal the spiritual Qi in the whole of Zilong City was no mean feat.

This was a large city with a population of over four million people! What kind of power did one have to wield to be able to seal it in entirety?

Yun Yang doubted that the Empire of Ziyou’s treasury had so many resources. Could it have afforded such an expenditure?

The news of seizing the assassin had been conveniently leaked, then a formation like this appeared; furthermore, such an arrangement was targeted at the Nine Supremes.

The entire continent would not have another reason to employ a large-scale formation like this other than targeting the Nine Supremes. What was more, it was in an empire’s capital!

Yun Yang was sure of one thing now - the person they had caught must be Old Dugu!

There was simply no other possibility. No matter what tricks they had used, they had found out about Old Dugu and the Nine Supremes’ relationship, thus forming this formation. That said, this had to be a trap.

Yun Yang’s problem now lied within - even when he knew this was a trap targeted specifically at him, he had to enter.

Regardless of the reason, regardless if it was Old Dugu who had disclosed the information, Yun Yang had to save the man first.

He was rather adept in the field of punishment and so he was a firm believer that when the torturous punishment reached a certain extent, the captive would not keep any secret. The physical body of a man truly could not withstand a punishment like that, especially when it was under the circumstance that he could not die, even if he wanted to.

"Even if it was father who has divulged our information, I won’t blame him! I’ll save him and let him have a good retirement!"

Yun Yang’s gaze was ablaze with fury.

"This is my family! Even if I have to sacrifice myself, I’d save my family. I have no complaints!"

"Since I’ve already decided that I don’t mind being sacrificed, then what matter if he discloses a little information?"

"If it isn\'t him, then the Empire of Ziyou will have to pay a hefty price! I swear this."

"I know I’m fairly prudent, but my brother’s family, my brother’s father, is my father as well!"

Yun Yang inhaled softly. "I would go to any lengths!"

…

As such, the question had now changed - how would he enter?

This was the first obstacle.

Yun Yang thrived on the various cultivation methods he possessed, easily slipping in and avoiding danger no matter how precarious and tricky the circumstances were. Now though, this sure-fire method was no longer usable.

No matter which cultivation method of the Nine Supremes, they could hardly be executed under the sealed spirituality and it was simply impossible for him to slip in. On the contrary, if he used it forcefully, he would only expose himself; that would only do him more harm than good!

The normal way of entering the city gate would be to have a guide, but it was this guide of Empire of Ziyou that Yun Yang did not have. If he entered Zilong City as himself, he would still be everyone’s target, even if he had not been identified as the Nine Supremes.

Yun Yang - the son of Empire of Yutang’s marquis, the infamous popinjay; what was he doing in Zilong City? Especially at such a critical juncture. Not only was it worthy of contemplation which riled the imagination, someone with an ulterior motive could connect plenty of dots if they were to put thought into it!

Just the case of Yun Yang being able to retreat safely from the combined attack of Four Seasons Tower’s four Venerable Lords and also saving the absolute must-kill target of the four Venerable Lords, it was more than enough to baffle anyone!

Despite Yun Yang’s cultivation base being unknown to many, and was less than worthy in the eyes of superior forces like that of Mr. Nian, the four Venerable Lords or Lei Dongtian, he was still a cultivator of the heaven realm - far exceeding Tenth Perfection, the pinnacle level known commonly by Tianxuan Continent.

The arrival of such talent in Zilong City must not only have surprised the officials of Ziyou; it would terrify them.

Looking at the east gate of Zilong City that was clouded in the dark dawn fog, Yun Yang suddenly felt that it was like a huge mouth, waiting to devour him. As long as he entered, it would be harder than anything to come out again. Even with the cultivation base that could triumph the secular, he did not feel very much safer.

Yun Yang stared at it for a while before sucking a breath and turning quietly.

"Even if I can’t come out alive after entering, I’ll go in anyway."
