After a long time, the Connate Venerable seemed to have calmed down. Her ethereal voice echoed above Cang City again.
“Fellow Daoist, if you have time, you can come to Langya County City to visit. I will naturally welcome you.”
The moment she finished speaking…
The towering sword intent also disappeared as if it had never appeared.
Those who understood what these words meant were all shocked at this moment.
The title of “fellow Daoist” was not something that could be used casually!
After a martial artist broke through the essence of life and entered the Connate Realm, their lifespan would directly increase to a thousand years.
In these long years, whether it was their parents, wives, children, or close friends, as long as they could not take that step, they would turn into dust in at most a hundred years.
Meanwhile, the title of “fellow Daoist” was used to refer to a friend in the martial path.
Only the strongest beings in that domain who could explore and fight together on the vast path of martial arts could be called “fellow Daoists.”
Although Wang Yi had never taken that step, he definitely deserved to be called a fellow Daoist.
No one thought that he could not advance to that realm. Everyone knew the reason that he was still stuck in the nine-rank system. He was only tempering himself and accumulating stronger strength and foundation in hopes of picking the strongest Connate Phala.
When he broke through to the Connate Realm, he would be an invincible existence in that domain.
Wang Yi did not expect the other party to be so polite. He did not care if the other party could hear him. He cupped his fists and imitated Demon Venerable Tiandu’s previous greeting.
“Thank you for your kind invitation, Venerable Ning Jing. If I have time in the future, I will definitely visit you personally.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Wang Yi. What no one noticed was that when Wang Yi killed the Demon Venerable’s clone and slashed out with his saber, a group of people had already quietly arrived outside the battlefield.
A silver sword with a terrifying aura floated above their heads, emitting sharp sword lights that enveloped everyone in the group.
Wang Yi turned to look at the boundary of the battlefield. At this moment, he had already discovered this group of uninvited guests, or rather, he had already discovered the silver sword above their heads.
When Wang Yi’s casual glance swept past them, they felt the air around them freeze. They immediately felt their bodies stiffen on the spot as if they were under the pressure of the mountains and seas.
Even the leading grandmaster in golden armor could not withstand such terrifying pressure. He felt that breathing was difficult and had the urge to kneel down.
In just a few breaths, the group of people knelt on one knee at the same time. The leader lowered his head and shouted respectfully, “Greetings, Lord Venerable.”
The moment he finished speaking…
The others also said at the same time, “Greetings, Lord Venerable.”
Their voices woke everyone up like the morning bell.
Regardless of whether they were lightly injured or seriously injured, the city guards on the city wall struggled to get up and kneel on one knee. Their faces were filled with fanaticism and worship.
Even Fang Yuan and Tang Zhenyu, who had just returned, and Fang Mingze, who had searched the entire city but came back empty-handed, knelt on one knee at the same time and shouted, “Greetings, Lord Venerable!”
Their voices reverberated throughout Cang City. It was as if they were announcing their victory, as well as the excitement and ecstasy in their hearts, to the world.
They had really won.
Before the battle began, everyone knew very well that they would definitely die facing several Rank-8 beast kings. Although they knew that they were no match for these beast kings, they were still prepared to fight to the death.
However, no one had expected that an invincible human expert would suddenly descend at this critical moment.
With a single roar from this human expert, nearly a hundred million beasts were killed. Then, he slaughtered more than ten Rank-8 beast kings with a wave of his hand. Even the two top-notch beast kings did not escape and died here.
The ferocious beast army that came aggressively with the intention of slaughtering the entire Cang City actually ended up being completely wiped out.
On the other hand, the humans, who were supposed to be doomed, had miraculously survived, except for some soldiers who were killed by the shock and some people who were injured.
When faced with this drastic change between life and death, they could not help but be excited and ecstatic.
When Wang Yi saw everyone kneeling down to him, he could not help but frown slightly. To be honest, he did not like this feeling.
However, Wang Yi’s current state was very special. After slashing out his peak strike, he seemed to have vaguely controlled this world.
His spiritual power vibrated slightly, and the power of the world instantly boiled, instantly turning into an invisible giant hand that supported the city guards on the city wall.
If this was in the past, when he wasn’t at his peak and wasn’t in that special state, Wang Yi might not have been able to do this over such a long distance and with so many people.
Then, he looked at the uninvited guests at the edge of the battlefield again. In a flash, he appeared in front of them and said indifferently, “I’m not at the Connate Realm, so I can’t be called a Venerable.”
From the conversation between Venerable Ning Jing and Demon Venerable Tiandu, Wang Yi could also determine that a Venerable should be the honorific title of a Connate Realm expert.
Hearing this, the leader said respectfully again, “Lord Venerable, you’re too modest.”
“You killed the Demon Venerable’s clone with three arrows and protected the safety of millions of living beings in Cang City. In terms of combat strength and achievements, you are worthy of the title of a Venerable.”
Wang Yi couldn’t help but shake his head. He didn’t fuss too much about how they addressed him, nor was he as polite to them as he was to the city guards. Instead, he said calmly, “When did you come to Cang City?”
Upon hearing Wang Yi’s question, the leader’s expression turned serious. Then, he said seriously, “Supremacy Ning Jing sensed that top-notch beast kings were participating in the siege. She knows that a Rank-8 Battle Supervisor would not be sufficient to deal with this matter.”
“Thus, she especially sent us with the innate divine weapon, the Silver Frost Battle Sword, to help Cang City survive this crisis.”
At this moment, the silver sword above their heads suddenly vibrated as if it was signaling and saluting Wang Yi.
Wang Yi could sense how powerful and terrifying the silver sword was. Then, he nodded slightly at the silver sword in response.
The silver sword seemed to have a mind of its own. After receiving Wang Yi’s response, it trembled in midair a few times before retracting its sword light and returning to the box on the golden-armored man’s back.
The leader’s words reminded Wang Yi of Zhao Tianlin from before. A murderous glint flashed across his eyes as he snorted coldly. “A Battle Supervisor?!”
In the next moment, the killing intent disappeared. Wang Yi knew that this group of people was only here under orders to help defend Cang City.
He was also unwilling to vent his anger, which had been sparked by Zhao Tianlin, on these people. Thus, he said, “Get up.”
When the group of people heard this, they stood up from the ground as if they had been pardoned.
Then, Wang Yi ignored the rest. His figure dazzled and appeared on the city wall again.
Wang Yi’s gaze swept across the city guards who were lying on the ground without any signs of life. His calm state of mind was shaken again.
Boundless killing intent and guilt flashed across his eyes. These people were originally fresh lives with their own lives and families.
Now, because of him, they had become cold corpses and had left this world forever.
