At this moment, with a flip of his hand, a tablet that belonged to the Tian Yuan clan immediately appeared in Yang Lie’s hand. He played around with the jade tablet and studied it. “Before my great-grandson left, he told me to show this tablet whenever we arrived in some larger cities after we made it to the Saints’ World.”
“Larger cities? Which city in particular? With how large the Saints’ World is, there are more cities than you can count. Yang Lie, surely the tablet in your possession isn’t effective in every city,” someone immediately asked as soon as Yang Lie said that.
Yang Lie shook his head and also furrowed his brows. He said with regret, “Back then in the lower world, I didn’t think this far, nor did I think we would return to the Saints’ World so soon, so I didn’t ask too much about this. Now that you’re asking me which city, even I don’t know.”
Everyone glanced at each other in response. There was nothing they could say.
At this moment, the ancestor of the Tyrant’s Blade School, Guihai Yidao, noticed something. His eyes immediately lit up, and he said, “Hmm? There seems to be a city up ahead.”
Guihai Yidao looked around and suggested, “Why don’t we enter the city and ask around first?”
Everyone gazed over. Sure enough, they could make out the outline of a city on the horizon. However, as it was simply too far away, it was not particularly clear.
“C’mon, let’s ask around in the city first!” They reached an agreement immediately and flew off.
Very soon, they stopped outside the city. However, as they gazed at the looming, closely-guarded walls, they all began to have second thoughts.
“T-this doesn’t seem like a place we should be visiting…” The ancestor of the Yangji sect was rather tongue-tied. As they gazed at the city, just the imposing walls were extraordinary. In the past, they had all kept their distance away from such an imposing city out of respect.
The larger and more flourishing a city was, the more experts it contained. A city like this was not a place that insignificant figures lacking both strength and background like them could set foot in.
“Are you seeing this? Every single person who enters the city will go through a strict search. They all possess a tablet to let them through, and we don’t have that. All of these guards are stronger than us too. Even the weakest is a Deity.”
“This city is far too powerful. Even the guards are Godhood experts. C’mon, it’s best if we keep our distance from a large city like this.”
Standing outside the capital city of the Pingtian Empire, Yang Lie and the others hesitated and began developing second thoughts. They did not even have the courage to approach the place.
At the same time, an extremely fancy carriage proceeded slowly along the road to the capital city. The carriage was surrounded by over a dozen guards in black. Every single one of them gave off the presence of a Godhood cultivator, protecting the carriage from all sides.
All the travellers and merchants in the surroundings moved out of the way when the carriage pased by.
A middle-aged man and a young man sat quietly in the carriage. The young man seemed arrogant, clearly from a large clan.
At this moment, the middle-aged man’s nose wrinkled. His eyes immediately shone brightly, and he became excited. “Young master, guess what I’ve found. I’ve actually caught the scent of heavenly resources, and this scent gives me an extraordinary feeling too.”
“Really?” The young man opened his eyes. He also became interested. “Uncle Huo, let’s go and take a look.”
The carriage suddenly changed directions, leaving the road and directly approaching where Yang Lie and the others were.
At this moment, Yang Lie and the others were still gathered together, discussing where they should go next.
“What are you lurking around here for?” Suddenly, a cold snort rang out from behind. Only now did Yang Lie and the others notice that an extremely fancy carriage had already appeared beside them silently.
Just the dozen or so guards in black around the carriage gave off a presence that made them shiver.
“All Godhood experts as guards?” Yang Lie and the others shivered inside when they saw the guards in black.
Even the strongest among them were only at peak Reciprocity. Now, they were facing over a dozen Godhood experts all of a sudden, which made them nervous and uneasy.
“Seniors, this is our first time here, and we’ve lost our direction. If we are in your way, please forgive us.” The eleven of them clasped their fists respectfully and fearfully.
Even Changyang Hu demonstrated fear right now. He was unsettled. Even with his state of Great Liberation, where very few things in the world still mattered to him, he could not help but respond with emotion right now.
He had a strong feeling that the people before him were definitely up to nothing good.
A middle-aged man emerged from the carriage. He wrinkled his nose before looking straight at Yang Lie. His lips curled into an eerie smile. “With how disorderly your presences are, you should have just come up from a lower world. This is the Saints’ World. You can’t go anywhere without divine crystals. Take this. This is a hundred mid grade divine crystals.”
As he said that, the middle-aged man directly tossed a hundred mid grade divine crystals to Yang Lie.
Gazing at the divine crystals in his hand, Yang Lie was a little dazed. For a moment, he was puzzled by what the middle-aged man was up to.
However, the middle-aged man’s next words made Yang Lie’s expression change drastically.
“Though… these hundred divine crystals aren’t for free. It’s in exchange for the Space Rings in your possession.” As he said that, the middle-aged man extended a finger, and Yang Lie’s Space Ring immediately left his finger, ending up in his hands. Yang Lie did not even have any opportunity to resist.
Let alone resist, he did not even have the ability to respond. The Space Ring had left him instantly.
The abrupt change in the situation immediately made Yang Lie panic. His heart completely sank as he said reluctantly with a trembling voice, “Senior, this Space Ring isn’t for sale.”
“How dare you! You’ve already accepted the hundred mid grade divine crystals. My uncle Huo is a mighty Godking, so how can he allow you to just go back on your word?” The young man also emerged from the carriage, gazing at the eleven of them in pure disdain. However, he then looked at the Space Ring in the middle-aged man’s hand curiously and eagerly.
With his identity, regular heavenly resources could no longer interest him. However, he also knew that anything that could interest uncle Huo would be extraordinary.
When Yang Lie and the others heard the word “Godking”, they immediately shuddered. It left everyone present shocked. A chill welled up from their hearts, leaving them cold all over.
“Godking… Godking… He’s actually a Godking…”

For a moment, the word “Godking” echoed through their heads. They would never forget about what happened when they searched through the miniature world in the Saints’ World back then. It led to a conflict among Godkings, which shattered the miniature world. It was also because of that incident that they had accidentally ended up on the Tian Yuan Continent.
As a result, the strength of Godkings had already left a deep mark on them, embedded deeply in their souls like a scorching-hot brand.
