Swoosh Swoosh!
Two shadows, a man and a woman, spread their wings and flew to a place far away. Ye Mo and Yao Yue were on the move.
Their destination was far, far away, and it would take quite a long time to get there. But having each other as companions, the journey flew by.
One day elapsed quickly. Ye Mo saw a city in the distance. The city was rather bustling and large in scale. But .compared to the Ice City, it was still not as developed.
On the edge of the city, a range of giant black mountains extended to the horizon.
Looking at the mountain, Ye Mo knew this was the Black Mountain.
Ye Mo and Yao Yue knew if they wanted to keep flying to the Black Jade Mountains, they should enter the Black Mountain first.
It was said that, in the Black Mountain, there was an extremely powerful giant beast called the Black Mountain Demon. All of the cultivators passing the area were scared of it due to its notorious name. It had even killed many Profound World Realm experts.
“All of the beasts in the Black Mountain have come out.”
Ye Mo fixed his gaze and saw several beasts were rushing out toward the city. Outside the city gate, the city soldiers were fighting against them.
All of the soldiers generated their Transcendence Golden Bodies and formed into a formation, but when they saw countless demonic beasts running toward them, all felt helpless.
At that moment, there were several people standing on the gate tower, watching the battle in front of the city gate.
“What bad luck! I’m just about to participate in the Battle of the Thousand Cities and I run into this trouble. If I leave, the Black Mountain Demon will take over my city,” a man with a muscular figure said in worry, frowning.
The man’s aura was quite powerful. His eyes were deep and vigilant. Apparently, he was the famous Low-grade Profound Heavens Realm expert- Lei Jun.
“Brother Lei, a massive herd of demonic beasts are rolling toward us. There are even more of them than before. If we leave the city now, the city soldiers will have no chance to defend the city.”
A woman in white armor standing behind Lei Jun frowned and watched the scene in front of her eyes, visibly worried.
The other generals behind them were all despairing.
Among the running demonic beasts, many of them had cultivation in the Low-grade Profound World Realm. Even if the generals went down and fought them, the result of this battle was still hard to say.
“But if we kill all of those demonic beasts now, the Black Mountain Demon will find an excuse to slaughter the whole city.”
Both of them were about to participate in the Battle of Thousand Cities in the Black Jade Mountains. If they were gone, the strongest cultivators remaining in the city would be Mid-grade Profound World Realm experts. Not nearly enough to spot the Back Mountain Demon.
“Brother Lei, do you need a hand here?”
Suddenly, two aggressive shadows appeared from the sky. They were two men who looked very much alike. They landed on the gate tower swiftly.
“Hu Yidao, Hu Erdao?”
When Lei Jun saw the two men, he was surprised. “What on earth are you guys doing in my city?”
“We’re just on the way to the Battle of the Thousand Cities,” Hu Yidao said. “If you’re willing to offer us 2,000 Demon Crystals in the Battle, we could give you a hand in taking care of these demonic beasts. We could also help you get rid of the Black Mountain Demon all at once.”
“Ye Mo, take a look,” Yau Yue said. “Those two men are the castellan and deputy castellan of the Hu City; Hu Yidao and Hu Erdao. They’re both Mid-grade Profound Heavens experts. They’re twins and their cultivations are exactly the same. These two are a pain in the ass, even for High-grade Profound Heavens experts.”
Yao Yue stared at the men with her eyebrows twisted together. Apparently, their paths had crossed before.
“The Zone of Chaos is such a powerful land. A random castellan has reached the Profound Heavens Realm. If I encountered such a powerful opponent, I could only survive by running away,” Ye Mo thought to himself.
By now, Ye Mo could fight against High-grade Profound World Realm experts, but against Profound Heavens experts, he would have no chance to survive.
The gap between the Profound World Realm and the Profound Heavens Realm was like the difference between the ground and the sky. A simple attack from a Profound Heavens Realm expert could easily crush a Profound World Realm expert.
Normally, a castellan always had a cultivation level in the Profound Heavens Realm. And the deputy castellan was usually a High-grade Profound World Realm expert. But if the city was powerful enough, then both the castellan and deputy castellan could be in the High-grade Profound Heavens Realm. Such a team was a huge threat to the others.
“Two thousand Demon Crystals? That’s robbery!” Lei Jun said angrily. It was obvious that the two brothers were trying to take advantage of them.
“Haha, well then. The deal is off. Let’s go.”
Hu Yidao and Hu Erdao spread their wings and flew over the massive herd of the demonic beasts into the dark sky. But, strangely, when they stopped in the sky and turned around, they saw demonic beasts were falling to the ground, one after another. And then they finally fixed their gazes on Ye Mo and Yao Yue.
“What’s going on over there? It seems that they could knock those demonic beasts down just by the power in their breaths. Even High-grade Profound Heavens Realm experts couldn’t do it. Are those two people Cosmos Realm experts?”
Hu Yidao stared at Ye Mo with a shocking expression on his face. He could feel the aura bursting from Ye Mo’s body.
“Cosmos Realm expert?” Hu Erdao was astonished as well. “That’s impossible. His cultivation is no more than the Transcendence Seventh Realm. How could he be a Cosmos Realm expert? Such a young Cosmos Realm expert?”
The scene on the ground was also rather shocking. Hundreds of demonic beasts were falling unconscious silently. Even Lei Jun, the castellan of Lei City, was completely stunned watching Ye Mo, who was floating in the air.
“What, whaaat…!” Lei Jun was too shocked to speak a word. Such a rare trick was beyond his understanding.
“Do you see it? That boy is holding hand with Yao Yue, the castellan of the Ice City. Apparently, they’re cultivating partners. I finally understand why she’s turned down so many Profound Heavens Realm experts now. It’s all because of this Cosmos Realm expert hiding behind her,” Hu Yidao said dryly. “If a Cosmos Realm expert wants to disguise himself as a Transcendence Seventh Realm expert, that would be a piece of cake.”
“You mean he really is a Cosmos Realm expert?!”
Hu Erdao also agreed with his brother’s speculation. After all, it wouldn’t make any sense for Yao Yue to haughtily refuse so many High-grade Profound Heavens Realm experts but chose a Transcendence Seventh Realm expert as her cultivating partner.
“Yao Yue, let’s go!”
Ye Mo didn’t pay any attention to the people who were shocked by him. And he also didn’t know that, because of this trick, the two castellans of Hu City already believed that he was a Cosmos Realm expert.
“Don’t tell me this Cosmos Realm expert is also going to the Battle of the Thousand Cities! If that’s the case, our game is over already.”
Hu Yidao watched Ye Mo and Yao Yue fly toward the Black Jade Mountains and couldn’t help swearing.
“They’re definitely cultivating together. A top-rank expert like him will undoubtedly go for first place in the battle. But it’s okay. As long as we avoid them, we still have a chance.”
“A Cosmos Realm expert in the Battle of the Thousand Cities? What an unprecedented game. The Battle of the Thousand Cities this year must be an especially intriguing one,” said the Hu brothers, flying toward the Black Jade Mountains.
