Chapter 689: The Son of the City Lord!
“What a shame. I haven’t had the chance to taste Gold Light Unicorn meat yet.”
Su Yi gazed at the fallen Gold Light Unicorn, feeling a hint of regret. He had missed the opportunity to try its meat.
“I’d like to try it too.”
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoshuai’s interest was piqued. He smacked his lips, almost drooling.
“Let’s go. We can’t underestimate these people,” Xi Wuqing advised Su Yi.
“Understood.”
Su Yi recognized that Ouyang Mingjie’s abilities, alongside his entourage, suggested he came from a notable background.
With that, the group continued riding their demon beast mounts, swiftly leaving the area.
One Yuan Emperor Realm expert and four Yuan Void Realm experts observed, unable to intervene, too fearful to act.
They understood that today, Young Master Su had encountered a significant setback.
More concerning, they feared they would suffer bad luck once they returned.
“Goo goo…”
Onlookers in the distance were still in shock, whispering amongst themselves. Initially, they thought the group was in danger, but the outcome surprised them all.
“That’s the Fierce Wind Blood Wolf, which belongs to the City Lord Mansion of Central Region. Could it be that these individuals hail from the City Lord Mansion?”
“That seems likely, but today’s events have caught us off guard. The young man didn’t look like much, but his strength is extraordinary. If he participates in the Saint Martial Assembly, he’ll likely be a dark horse!”
“The two companions of that young man are even more terrifying. One is in the Yuan Emperor Realm, and the other in the Demonic Emperor Realm. That young man must come from a prestigious background!”
“I’ve never heard of the Overlord Sect.”
“No need to guess. Ouyang Mingjie, I know of him. He’s the son of Ouyang Yuanfeng, the lord of Central Region City. He’s also a direct disciple of Sacred Mountain, renowned throughout the entire region.”
“…”
Whispers spread through the crowd, causing shock and admiration, especially among younger disciples. They had come to Central Region City for the Saint Martial Assembly but hadn’t expected to encounter such powerful young individuals. The event truly showcased the caliber of talent present.
“There will always be someone stronger.”
A young disciple sighed in awe. Although they were considered prominent back in their respective family sects, they now grasped the full meaning of the elders’ advice: “There are always greater mountains and more talented people.”
“Oh, young master.”
A group of figures swiftly arrived at Ouyang Mingjie’s side, who had collapsed on the ground.
At that moment, Ouyang Mingjie was barely breathing, feeling humiliated. He had never suffered such a disgrace, even on the Sacred Mountain.
“Spread the word, we must find that kid.”
A bitter and vengeful look filled Ouyang Mingjie’s eyes. Today, he had worked hard to fulfill his task assigned by his father, but everything had gone wrong. Now, it seemed like his chance to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly was lost. The resentment in his heart was palpable.
“Is your sect called the Overlord Sect?”
Xi Wuqing, flying atop a demon beast, casually asked Su Yi, seemingly without too much curiosity. He had previously agreed to let Su Yi join under certain conditions.
“Do you think the name sounds impressive, bro?”
Su Yi chuckled, not because he wanted to hide anything from Xi Wuqing, but because the Divine Demonic Sect held considerable influence, and the timing wasn’t right to reveal their full plans.
“As long as you’re happy.”
Xi Wuqing glanced at Su Yi and then spoke softly, “This Ouyang Mingjie seems to have some significant backing. By injuring him so severely, it could cause us trouble down the line.”
“No matter who he is, in front of you, I won’t let anyone bully me. If it happens again, I won’t hold back,” Su Yi responded with a fiery determination. Ahead of them lay Central Region City, not Chaos Realm. Even if Ouyang Mingjie had influence, there were rules to follow in Central Region.
From Man City to the Divine Sword School, Su Yi had held back his emotions. But now, as the Saint Martial Assembly approached, there was no need for restraint any longer. Suppressing one’s emotions for too long wasn’t healthy.
Xi Wuqing regarded Su Yi silently, his gaze filled with hidden intentions. Over time—from the Bloodblade Mercenary Group to now—he had come to understand that the young man before him was not someone to be trifled with. If provoked, he could be merciless and unforgiving.
As they continued their journey, more demon beast mounts and figures appeared. As they neared Central Region City, mounts and people filled the area.
In the distance, the outline of a grand and imposing city appeared, stretching far and wide. It seemed to dominate the heavens, like a colossal beast looming over everything.
“How lively!”
Su Xiaoshuai poked his head out from Su Yi’s embrace, his excitement evident. His eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in the strange and exotic birds and beasts.
“Goo!”
A spirit bird flapped its wings and curiously looked at Su Xiaoshuai. Su Xiaoshuai gave it a stern look, causing the bird to tremble. The figures on the bird’s body seemed confused.
As they got closer to Central Region, they saw a giant mountain ahead, with a sheer cliff bearing the inscription “Central Region City.”
“Mounts are not allowed in the city. You can leave them on the side mountains or make your own arrangements.”
In front of them stood a group of formidable warriors clad in armor, exuding a powerful aura. They informed everyone that mounts weren’t allowed in the city, and everyone had to walk.
No one dared defy the rules, so they either left their mounts with the guards or arranged accommodations.
“Return to your original owner.”
Su Yi, Xi Wuqing, and the Green Emperor dismounted from their mounts and sent their demon beasts back.
The area was flat, with many armored warriors maintaining order.
“No one is allowed to enter without permission. Flying within the city is prohibited, and private fighting is strictly forbidden. Those who break these rules will be executed without mercy!”
Loud, commanding shouts and the reverberation of energy filled the air.
“Is this Central Region City?”
Su Yi gazed ahead. Although they were still some distance from Central Region City, he could already see the towering city walls and gates in the distance, emanating an imposing and powerful aura, as if the city were a giant beast watching over all.
“It’s bustling with energy and many skilled cultivators!”
The Green Emperor, also visiting Central Region City for the first time, was in awe of the hidden power among the crowd.
“Central Region City is just a small part of the whole. What you see now is only the beginning.”
Xi Wuqing raised an eyebrow and spoke to Su Yi.
“With so many people, I wonder how many will remain by the end of the Saint Martial Assembly?”
Su Yi, a young man, was captivated by the busy scene outside. Countless talented youth were gathered, waiting for the Saint Martial Assembly to begin—an event of great importance in Central Region.
