Inside Huangliang City.
This is an ancient city located in the western region of the Federation.
There, apart from Huangliang City, there is a desolate desert. The reason it is labeled ancient is because the city experienced an energy storm in the past. The interesting thing is that the energy storm didn’t destroy it but strengthened it instead.
In fact, it even carried itself the aura of a legend.
It is said that no matter how cold the biting wind is, it can’t reach the city.
No matter how cold it is outside, no matter how desolate the surrounding desert is, the city still enjoys the cycle of four seasons. Plus, no matter how dangerous it is outside, there has never been a beast tide attacking here before. Legend says that the berserk beasts are afraid of this place.
Such rumors sound a bit too exaggerated and are clearly just legends.
However, when Su Hao stood in front of the city, he knew that it wasn’t exaggerated at all! Instead, the rumored legends had been toned down too much!
“Damn!”
This was Su Hao’s first reaction upon seeing Huangliang City.
“Are you trying to tease me?”
This was his second reaction.
“This doesn’t make sense!”
This was his third reaction.
After he stood there for a full five minutes, he finally had to admit this fact. Huangliang City turned out to be a huge Nitai artifact! Yes, Su Hao dared not believe either, but that’s the truth!
A Nitai artifact!
The entire city itself!
This was the biggest joke in this era of origin ability.
The emergence of an energy storm always brings some anomalies. A lot of ordinary things mutated and became Nitai artifacts; such a situation, Su Hao had experienced it a few times. However, this situation in front of him, such a crazy mutation, was probably the first in his memory!
“My view of this world has been refreshed again.” Su Hao sighed.
Why did no beast come here?
Because they were afraid!
Such a huge Nitai artifact, the energy contained within, can scare anyone away! Su Hao did not doubt that if the entire city explodes, the Federation would most likely experience geographical changes. That was something that is sufficient to sweep the entire Federation. How could any beast dare to approach this place?
Su Hao carefully observed the city.
He noticed some faint brilliant light coming from Huangliang City.
There is no doubt that an ordinary esper wouldn’t be able to detect any anomaly here. Even a domain esper would be clueless. Only world espers are able to sense the problem here! Because only with Rule Force can one resonate with such a huge force.
In such a way, Su Hao discovered the problem when his Shadowless God Needle trembled.
“Things are getting more and more interesting.” Su Hao revealed a smile.
That mysterious Green Leaf Organization… The terrifying Huangliang City….
What kind of secrets lies here?
***
At the same time.
Within the city, a tourist team wearing a little yellow hat stopped. Most of the people within the group were elderly people, both male and female, in their 50s and 60s. They were happily walking under the lead of the guide.
“Wow, it’s so warm here.”
“Yeah, much better than my hometown.”
“It’s indeed worthy of its reputation as a city of four seasons.”
For this group of people to be moved, the surrounding crowd wasn’t surprised. In fact, this special environment here had become a tourist attraction. The magical climate and the surging cold wind outside the city perfectly turned this city into a popular tourist destination. Especially during winter, the number of tourists here increases even more.
The war among the top ten families didn’t affect ordinary citizens.
Origin ability era…
Origin espers occupied a part of it, but the ordinary people were also part of it.
Although both were together, they were almost similar to living in two parallel worlds. The circle of ordinary people and the circle of espers were basically two circles that wouldn’t overlap. For those who hadn’t stepped into the specialized realm, they are placed into the circle of ordinary people.
In that circle, they would never know what had happened behind the scenes.
Even if they knew, they wouldn’t care.
This world is the stage for espers. Naturally, they would be the ones to stand up during chaos. For those who can’t cultivate and have no talent to become specialized espers, as long as they work normally and earn money, they can buy a house and a car to support their families. As for the matter like saving the world, that was too far from their reach.
There were many groups of tourists, and those with little yellow hats were just one of them.
Thus, no one noticed the strange light within the eyes of these old ones.
When a few of them touched the city wall, one could see weeping tears from their eyes.
“This familiar feeling…”
“This is a building before the era of origin ability!”
“This is simply unbelievable for it to be kept intact after the energy storm.”
An old man revealed a longing expression, “I can feel the power of this city. Perhaps this is why it doesn’t get destroyed.”
“Can’t it be a coincidence?”
Another old man wondered, “During the energy storm, it was not known how many cities were destroyed. For one to survive isn’t surprising.”
“Impossible!”
“Because any ordinary city won’t be able to withstand the energy storm, let alone…”
That old man touched the fissures above the city wall. These fissures, which looked like something formed from old age, were full of mystery, “Not only did it not get destroyed. It actually absorbed all the energy from the energy storm, which is why it turns into its current state.”
“A giant Nitai artifact!”
That old man murmured.
Everyone was horrified. Only then did they realize the majesty coming from this city. That endless details made their gaze frantic.
“I knew it. The secret must have been hidden here.”
“The secret of the origin energy!”
“Have we finally found it?”
Everyone became excited.
“I suspect before the energy storm, this place already possessed some mysterious force, magical items, or even these magical fissures.” That old man whispered slowly as if each word from his mouth was considered carefully for a long time, “Something must have happened before the chaotic era!”
“And I am going to find it!”
That old man said each word clearly at a time.
“Xiao Zhu, use your talent to draw a map of Huangliang City. Don’t miss every fissure on the wall at every corner.” That old man’s eyes lit up, “I suspect that these fissures are the key to the current transformation of Huangliang City. They seemed to possess some sort of power.”
“Yes, Big Brother.”
“Xiao Jian, you take some men to sense the energy within the city and draw a map of it. I want to know the energy concentration map, which places have dense energy and which places have little energy.”
“Yes.”
“As for that lost memory…”
There was a faint light within the old man’s murky eyes, “Could the memory tampering be related to this place? What had exactly happened before the chaotic era?”
“I will definitely figure it out.”
One by one, those with little yellow hats vanished. That group of tourists dispersed and disappeared into the crowd. No one knew what terrifying secret this elderly group was looking for!
Somewhere…
Standing above the high mountain range, a splendid temple could be seen. Inside the temple, a huge bronze giant clock was leisurely swaying.
That was the world clock!
This place…
It’s the highest point in the world!
This long mountain range and temple were formed from Rule Force. Everything happened within the temple, and even the mountain range seemed to be working in automation. There is not a single life here. What made this ecosystem work was the cold rules.
Inside the temple, a light suddenly flickered, and the originally dim light became abnormally bright. At the same time, three Rule Forces flashed within the temple.
A semi-transparent figure formed in the air.
The figure was wonderful. It was a near perfection of a female body. Her face was so mesmerizing that it could suffocate everyone. However, her face exuded endless coldness. There was no trace of being alive. Landing barefoot, she didn’t seem to even feel the coldness on the ground.
“There is a slip-up on the rule operation.”
“Target appeared.”
“Keep the original deduction result.”
“To solve this problem, kill!”
That cold voice echoed in the temple.
She suddenly stood up and looked at the foot of the mountain range. She seemed to determine the location of the target, and that direction was Huangliang City!
Swish!
She vanished.
There was not even a trace of fluctuation in the air.
That temple was once again deserted. As always, there was no sign of living beings.
Inside Huangliang City, Su Hao was looking for information regarding Green Leaf Organization in a hotel. Previously, the news he obtained was from several years ago, which was already old. Given the situation of Gaoyuan City, he had no doubt that as long as the organization wasn’t exposed, they would keep staying here to complete their experiment.
And he was going to expose them in Huangliang City!
“The energy shield is too strong.” Su Hao tried to build a model.
However, he failed.
Because Huangliang City itself is a Nitai artifact, it’s literally impossible to build a complete model of it! Otherwise, if he could model the entire city, finding Green Leaf Organization is only a matter of minutes. If he wishes to create a model out of a Nitai artifact, and one at such a grand scale…
It’s simply a dream that will never come true.
“Seems that I have to search by using normal means.”
Su Hao first checked all the surveillance cameras in the city and ended up finding nothing, which was why he decided to go out and search for it. However, it was at this time that the virtual screen on his communication device suddenly popped out.
Ding~
Su Hao was startled for a second.
Generally, this kind of forced pop-up could only be from several of his friends when there is an emergency. Could it be that something had happened?
Su Hao quickly had a look, and his eyes opened wide.
Urgent! Urgent!
This young master has met this big dog, a world esper, and am fleeing from him! However, I will soon be bitten by this damn dog. Now, this young master’s ass is about 1,200 meters away from that dog’s teeth. I estimate that in a few seconds, I will be bitten by this damn dog! Urgently need help!
This is a group message!
Friends nearby, please come here to save me!
Urgent!
From Li Xin.
“What is this?”
When Su Hao received this message, he was obviously stumped. His analysis ability far surpassed that of ordinary people, but that emergency mode screen was still there.
“Nine more seconds and this young master will be bitten by this damn dog!”
“Eight more seconds and this young master will be bitten by this damn dog!”
“Seven more seconds and this young master will be bitten by this damn dog!”
“Six more…”
