Chapter 1484: Lockdown of the Entire City

After a moment of contemplation, the two robe and hat elders spoke after a while. Elder Xu said with great importance, "The Saint Child is one of the candidates for the leader of Sacred Mountain. It is good to be devoted to martial arts, but for such a position, we must also consider the future of Sacred Mountain! Before Holy Lord and Elder Mo sent us, they said that you should return to the palace for one reason, and the second reason is to eliminate all obstacles for the future of the Saint Child!"

Both robe and hat elders are among the top powerful elders of Sacred Mountain. Elder Mo sent them here out of concern for the safety of the Saint Child in the Chaos Realm. Hearing Xue Honglou’s words, their expressions under the hat gradually became serious.

"…" Xue Honglou’s eyes trembled, and his heart became cold and frosty. His figure moved slightly and drew an arc towards the distance.

After a while, a faint and cold voice from Xue Honglou was left in the sky.

"I will go to the Nine Star Valley with all of you. You can handle the matters concerning the Blood Sun Sect and others!"

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, golden light filled the air around Xue Honglou, shimmering like ripples in space. A resounding thunderous sound echoed, carrying an unstoppable force, as if a holy light raced towards Nine Star Valley.

"If it doesn’t benefit Sacred Mountain and doesn’t consider Sacred Mountain’s future, it’s still useless, no matter how talented one is!" Another elder from within the robe and hat spoke firmly, a coldness gleaming in their eyes.

In the city of Central Region, the moon shone faintly, and the evening breeze brought coolness.

As night fell upon Central Region city, the lights blazed brightly, vibrant and colorful.

Central Region city belonged to Sacred Mountain, and at this time, the streets were still lined with bustling taverns and shops. Moonlight scattered lightly on the red bricks, green tiles, and elegant ancient buildings. The shouts of vendors and shop owners continued incessantly in the market, never-ending.

The abundant heritage of Sacred Mountain was evident in the strength of Central Region, which extended across six continents, three states, and one sea.

On the stone slabs, various sizes of demon beasts roamed back and forth, occasionally emitting deep roars that shook the heavens, creating a bustling and noisy atmosphere.

The sound of powerful cultivators occasionally rubbing their energies together made the entire street of Central Region lively and extraordinary.

At this moment, a tall and sturdy man in his thirties, with cultivation at the seventh level of the Yuan Void Realm, walked slowly on the street. The man stood straight, with a scruffy beard and an unimpressive appearance. Muscles bulged beneath his coarse linen clothes, and his eyes were sharp, full of brilliance.

Standing beside him was a tall and handsome young man, who looked extraordinary with a noble manner. He had a sharp nose and bright eyes, clearly a son from a prestigious family.

These two people were Situ Muyang and Su Yi, who had just returned from the Chaos Realm. They stood side by side, and Situ Muyang smiled and said to Su Yi, "Little Teacher Uncle, your disguise ability is really impressive. I couldn’t even recognize you in this strong man’s appearance. Look, no one in Central Region can recognize you."

Warriors on majestic demon beasts rode on the stone-paved streets. Everyone had a serious expression on their faces, and groups of City Master soldiers patrolled the city. Various types of elemental lights illuminated the Central Region city in a colorful way during the night.

"These people are all in a hurry, none of them seem to be strolling around. It’s quite strange!"

As Su Yi walked, he noticed all sorts of changes on the street. Various medicines, refining materials, spiritual herbs, genius treasures, cultivation techniques, and rare treasures were being sold at the side of the street, but there was no one making any transactions.

Suddenly, Su Yi noticed something unusual and furrowed his brows with a serious expression.

Su Yi lowered the brim of his hat and said to Situ Muyang in a deep voice, "When we arrive at the teleportation station later, you should go back to the Divine Sword School, and I will go to the Yutian Palace. Otherwise, we will draw too much attention! By the way, don’t call me Little Teacher Uncle, call me Brother Fengyun!"

Looking at the vibrant Central Region city with its colorful lights, the scene of Su Yi fighting alongside his brothers Saint Fire resurfaced in his mind. He felt a surge of excitement. Xu Chen, Flame Scale, and the others were teleported away from here. Su Yi wondered where they were now.

"Great! Brother Fengyun!" Situ Muyang laughed, covering his mouth.

"Vroom vroom!"

The soldiers in Central Region City were all standing guard, riding on tall and fierce wolves called Fierce Wind Blood Wolves. They patrolled the streets in an orderly manner, their expressions serious. In front of the City Master’s mansion not far away, there was a large group of guards protecting it.

"Brother Fengyun, is there something important happening in Central Region City? These soldiers all have serious expressions, as if they are on alert for something," Situ Muyang asked with a puzzled expression, pointing ahead.

Su Yi shook his head softly, indicating that he didn’t know. His eyes flashed with concern. Choosing to travel from Central Region City was already a risky move, and he couldn’t afford to get involved in any more troubles. Avoiding trouble was the highest priority.

"I’m not quite sure, but let’s leave first and figure it out later!"

If they really encountered someone important and the whole city was locked down, they wouldn’t be able to leave with Situ Muyang in time. They would truly be trapped, and that would be disastrous!

After a moment of contemplation, Situ Muyang’s heart tightened. He quickly walked with Su Yi towards the teleportation station below the city wall.

As they passed by the bulletin board, Su Yi and Xi Wuqing’s portraits were still hanging high on it. After over a year, the canvases were already covered in dust. Su Yi caught a glimpse and his heart was moved.

"Time passes so quickly, and my brothers and I have been wanted in Central Region for over a year! I don’t think anyone will remember what we look like except for Sacred Mountain."

Seeing Su Yi’s thoughts, Situ Muyang lowered his voice slightly and pointed to Su Yi’s portrait, saying, "Brother Fengyun, this person is not only wanted in Central Region City, but also in all the territories under Sacred Mountain’s rule. Even the entire Central Region, which is dependent on the power of Sacred Mountain, has your portrait posted everywhere! When he left just now, it caused quite a stir, even my father was shocked!"

Su Yi couldn’t help but shake his head slightly. Time will eventually fade the memories of the masses, but Sacred Mountain will always cling to him. Only with absolute strength can he completely surpass Sacred Mountain. Only then will this giant rock have its day of falling.

"The City Master has given orders. No one is allowed in or out today! Those who defy the orders will be killed!" The guards of the City Master’s residence arrived under the city wall at this time and said to the defending soldiers. Then, they looked around warily.

Su Yi and Situ Muyang both felt a pang in their hearts. They quickly turned their heads. Their worst fears had come true. They were indeed jinxed, whatever they said would happen!

Situ Muyang pulled Su Yi towards the city. "How about you go ahead? I haven’t angered Sacred Mountain anyway, they don’t know me!" Situ Muyang said in a deep voice.

"It seems like nobody can leave today!" Su Yi’s brow furrowed, looking attentively at the guards lined up below the city wall.
