Chapter 2113: The City Lord of Shenque City’s Apprehension

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Good-for-nothing, worthless!"

The City Lord of Shenque City vented his anger and kicked the Young City Lord of Shenque City flying, then looked at Uncle Thirteen, asking for a detailed account of the entire incident.

"Brother, the other party has deep foundations..."

Uncle Thirteen quickly bowed his head and vividly narrated the events that took place at the Soaring Sky City’s gathering.

Upon hearing this, the City Lord of Shenque City had a grim expression: "According to you, Ye Feng actually has a Dao Monarch mid-stage old servant. Anyone who could have such a being as a servant should at least be a Half-Step Dao Venerable, most likely an ancestor at the Dao Venerable Realm. We shouldn’t provoke him."

"Brother, we can remain inactive, probe Ye Feng’s reality, and then move on with the next step when it’s safer." Uncle Thirteen suggested.

The City Lord of Shenque City nodded: "Indeed, we have now obtained the token of the Annihilation Dao Venerable. The priority is to decipher it and open the tomb as soon as possible. As for Ye Feng, we can deal with him and his backing once we succeed in the tomb."

"Yes." Uncle Thirteen nodded solemnly, chatted with the City Lord of Shenque City for a while longer, then left.

A moment later.

The City Lord of Shenque City grabbed the Young City Lord by the collar and threw him into a certain mansion, speaking coldly to the attendants on both sides: "Watch over this good-for-nothing. Don’t let him step foot outside the yard until he breaks through to the Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable Peak."

"Yes." The two Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable Peak old servants nodded, expressionless.

The Young City Lord had been grounded many times.

They were already used to it.

A tall building.

The City Lord of Shenque City walked to this place, overlooking the bustling Shenque City below, behind him stood Uncle Thirteen and twelve other Dao Monarch realm direct descendants of the City Lord’s Mansion.

In the City Lord’s Mansion lineage, there is a Dao Venerable ancestor pulling the strings behind the scenes, with the City Lord of Shenque City among thirteen Dao Monarch realm descendants, collectively known as the Thirteen Guardians of Shenque.

An entire family with thirteen Dao Monarchs!

Such is the formidable foundation of the City Lord’s Mansion lineage!

And within Shenque City, there are several other hegemon-level powers, all have Dao Monarchs sitting in their seats, but compared to the City Lord’s Mansion lineage, they are simply incomparable.

They are barely considered vassals of the City Lord’s Mansion.

"The ancestor is already deciphering the token of the Annihilation Dao Venerable, results will be available soon. Now, we need to send someone to Haizhou to probe the reality ahead."

The City Lord of Shenque City stated.

"Brother, let me go!" Uncle Thirteen stood up, eager to go to Haizhou first.

"Alright, I’ll leave it to you." The City Lord of Shenque City patted Uncle Thirteen’s shoulder.

"I will complete the mission!" Uncle Thirteen nodded solemnly and entered the nearby Transporting Holy Temple, soon transmitted to Ascension Holy City located in the west-central region of Haizhou.

The place was crowded, an ideal environment to gather information.

An hour later.

In a secluded courtyard.

"Good, good, good! What a Ye Feng, turns out the people of Yunzhou were deceived by him. He is actually a cultivator of the Internal Universe System, from the Cosmic Sea, a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable capable of slashing into Heavenly Venerable Spirit Fragments with one strike, wielding fearsome power rivaling the Heavenly Dao Realm!"

Uncle Thirteen stared wide-eyed.

He couldn’t understand why an ascender from the Cosmic Sea deserved to have a mid-stage Dao Monarch old servant, and because the Radiant Daoist was hiding his identity well, even Uncle Thirteen couldn’t probe him, felt he was very mysterious.

"Ye Feng now appears to be at the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Realm, definitely not Five-Turn Heavenly Venerable, but even so, rumors had it from a while ago in Haizhou that Ye Feng could easily kill Five or Six-Turn Heavenly Venerables. This combat span had long shattered the ninety-nine times combat limit."

"This person is too monstrous."

"Even cultivators of the Internal Universe System seem unable to advance to Dao Monarch, but with Ye Feng’s terrifying power, once he advances to Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable Peak, he could directly rival a Dao Monarch Peak, still a major threat."

Uncle Thirteen’s face darkened.

A Dao Monarch Peak is no cabbage.

In Yunzhou, they are ranked among the top hundred elite, equals to the City Lord of Shenque City, City Lord of Soaring Sky City, and Master of Miaoyin Pavilion.

"Does it mean... Ye Feng is valued by the Space Clan, and those former Supreme Elders of the Space Clan have broken the curse and advanced to Dao Monarch after leaving Haizhou?"

"Moreover, Ye Feng has a very good relationship with Zhou Yan, the son of the Chaos Dao Sect Sect Master."

"As for Chaos Daoist Zhou Jian, this person could firmly engage against a Half-Step Dao Venerable with his Dao Monarch Peak, may have already broken through into Half-Step Dao Venerable, nearing Dao Venerable."

"So, Ye Feng’s backing is likely the Space Clan and Chaos Dao Sect."

Uncle Thirteen calmly analyzed.

Soon after, he arrived at the Ancient Divine Mountain of the Abyss Clan, looked at the ruins destroyed by Ye Feng, his eyes twitched furiously, finding it hard to believe this was done by a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

Another hour passed.

Uncle Thirteen arrived at the Blood Sea, showed his Shenque City identity as the Thirteenth Guardian, immediately receiving enthusiastic hospitality from the Blood Robe Dao Monarch and several other Dao Monarchs.

"Ye Feng appeared in Yunzhou?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Little Ye Feng, had long been suppressed by our ancestor, the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree, in the depths of the Blood Sea. The seal cocoon is right in this area, he can’t escape!"

The Blood Robe Dao Monarch and others expressed disbelief.

Uncle Thirteen snorted: "Do you think I’m playing with you?"

"No, no!"

The Blood Robe Dao Monarch and others quickly shook their heads, not daring to provoke Shenque City with a Dao Venerable sitting in charge, promptly notified the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree at the center of the Blood Sea.

"Seal, rise!"

The Blood-Colored Ancient Tree didn’t speak much, directly took out a cocoon suppressed in the deep sea, unraveling layers of seals, revealing a figure inside.

That was Ye Feng.

However, he was expressionless, simply an energy avatar with the same aura as the main body.

"Crack."

Ye Feng’s energy avatar was smashed by a vine from the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree, causing the faces of Blood Robe Dao Monarch and others to fall, realizing Ye Feng had long escaped.

"Considering this, even a Dao Monarch Peak couldn’t seal or kill Ye Feng. Is he truly this elusive?" Uncle Thirteen’s face darkened.

He came to Haizhou intending to survey the local power layout, but because he casually checked Ye Feng’s reputation in Haizhou, he learned that the person was conferred the title of Feng Ye Sword Venerable and was quite famous.

Later, he traced it all the way here.

Based on the current intelligence, Ye Feng seems impossible to kill, only feasible to seal.

However, as seen, even the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree—this Dao Monarch Peak—couldn’t completely seal Ye Feng, leading Uncle Thirteen to recognize the severity of the problem.

Ye Feng couldn’t be killed or sealed.

This kind of person is destined to become a catastrophe in the future.

He somewhat regretted not preventing the feud between the Young City Lord and Ye Feng earlier, but now the animosity between the two is beyond resolution.

"A Dao Monarch can’t suppress Ye Feng, but a Dao Venerable might." Uncle Thirteen thought so.

A bit later, Uncle Thirteen left.

He continued probing intelligence in Haizhou but couldn’t find the location of the Misty Holy Sect’s sect or realize the sect is now at Origin Pool Sea.

Blood Sea center.

The Blood Robe Dao Monarch and several Blood Moon Clan Dao Monarchs gathered near the Blood-Colored Ancient Tree, also didn’t foresee Ye Feng had already escaped, mingling with Zhou Yan, the Junior Sect Master of Chaos Dao Sect, Tian Qi, the Young Master of the Space Clan, Fei Hong, the Young City Lord of Soaring Sky City, and other prodigies, chatting amiably.

What’s worse...

Ye Feng has a mid-stage Dao Monarch old servant!

"This Ye Feng is too troublesome. We must throw in our lot with Shenque City, use the hands of a Dao Venerable to completely suppress Ye Feng and solve the hidden threat."

Blood Robe Dao Monarch suggested.

Everyone nodded, unanimously agreeing.

...

Soaring Sky City, the grand gathering continues.

This gathering will last a month, and all the top geniuses are shopping, enjoying a rare twenty percent discount, leading to a drastic increase in consumption levels in a short period.

In a courtyard.

Ye Feng suddenly opened his eyes, realizing that his seventh Heavenly Tribulation had finally arrived, so he used the Three Realms Universe as a transit station, emerged from a Door of the Outer Realm, and arrived in the depths of a faint purple mist.

Next, he passed through the mist and appeared at the edge of a jade-green prairie.

He looked across.

The Dao Monarch Tea Tree was standing proudly in the center of the prairie.

"Oh, it’s you!"

The Dao Monarch Tea Tree fixed its gaze on Ye Feng, while the latter fully unleashed his Heavenly Tribulation and charged forward.

"Hmph, just a mere Heavenly Tribulation, begone!" The Dao Monarch Tea Tree shouted, erupting with Dao Monarch coercion, as dozens of vines transformed into long spears, all stabbing towards Ye Feng.

"Holy Divine Form!"

"Asura Domain!"

"Infinite Combat Power!"

Ye Feng continually layered domains on himself, forcibly weakening the Dao Monarch Tea Tree’s attacks, and further increasing his own combat power, barely managing to take a hit from the opponent.

"How is that possible?"

The Dao Monarch Tea Tree was astonished, not expecting to be blocked by a small guy who wasn’t even a Heavenly Venerable.

Crack!

With Ye Feng’s full-strength strike, thunderous sword aura soared into the sky, slashing down a hundred-meter-long branch, along with countless leaves, from the Dao Monarch Tea Tree.

"Awoooo!"

The Dao Monarch Tea Tree cried out in pain, if not for the punishment divine thunder from the purple mist last time, it wouldn’t have been so passive now due to severe injuries.

Snap!

Thunder constantly rolled down. Although a Dao Monarch can limit the attacks of Heavenly Tribulation, the coercion of the Heavenly Tribulation nonetheless further weakened the Dao Monarch Tea Tree’s domain. With the ninety percent weakening from the Holy Divine Form, the Dao Monarch Tea Tree’s current state was about the same as the peak of a Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable.

While undergoing tribulation, Ye Feng unleashed peak combat power through the Sword Drawing and Heaven Cleaving Technique, cutting off branches and quickly retreating them into the Three Realms Universe to be piled on the ground.

"Ye Feng, you deserve to die!"

The Dao Monarch Tea Tree dared not attack again, automatically severing many branches from itself, allowing a layer of faint purple armor to protect it, no longer fearing Ye Feng’s attacks.

Clang!

Though Ye Feng’s full-strength strike only scratched a layer of skin off the purple armor, it quickly repaired, making it impossible to cut down more branches from the tree.

"Lucky you!"

Ye Feng took away the branches on the ground, which accounted for at least one-third of the Dao Monarch Tea Tree’s total branches and contained a dense origin, enough for the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree to metamorphose.

Rumble!

While undergoing tribulation, Ye Feng darted into the purple mist, quickly disappearing without a trace.

"So infuriating!"

The Dao Monarch Tea Tree trembled, as though it had been ravaged by a violent storm, looking very disheveled, its hatred for Ye Feng growing deeper, but at the same time, a sense of dread arose.

Meanwhile.

Ye Feng, after slipping into the purple mist, quickly flew towards the open space outside, completing his seventh Heavenly Tribulation there, with the Chaos Origin’s fusion level of the Three Realms Universe reaching a higher degree, and the chaos will it emitted becoming purer.

"Great, just two more months, and Task One can be completed." Ye Feng grew increasingly expectant.

Soon after, he returned to Soaring Sky City.

The grand gathering continued, with more and more geniuses and powerhouses arriving in Soaring Sky City to trade at the gathering, and top geniuses sparring on the ring, making for a spectacular display.

Clang clang clang!

At this moment, more geniuses battled, including members of the Misty Holy Sect stepping onto the stage to spar.

Especially Brother Flathead.

He transformed into Godzilla Form, swinging his heavy, sharp claws, constantly tearing through opponents’ defenses, instilling fear in the group of geniuses.

"Brother Flathead is too fierce!"

"Oh my, his combat power exceeds twenty times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme, truly terrifying, only those top freaks can suppress him."

"Suppress, yes, but not necessarily defeat, Brother Flathead’s defense is too strong, we can hardly break through it, barely managing to suppress him, winning with difficulty."

The geniuses discussed among themselves.

Clang!

From the ring next door, Huo Yunjie unleashed the piercing sword sound of the Ultimate Ruthless Sword Drawing Technique, his opponent, also a top freak, could not withstand the full power of an ancient giant monster true form, shattered by the strike.

"Puff!" The genius flew backward, defeated.

On the other side, Brother Flathead withstood the frenzy of the opponent’s bombardment, exhausting their origin, and emerged victorious.

"The members of the Misty Holy Sect are truly monstrous, called freaks, numbering no less than one hundred."

The forces’ powerhouses said in low voices.

The battles at the grand gathering made members of the Misty Holy Sect a household name, their prestige points skyrocketing.

The Three Realms Universe, Shenzhou Continent.

Ye Feng arrived here, researching formation methods with the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, preparing to refine the branches and leaves cut from the Dao Monarch Tea Tree into pure origin substances, to help the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree metamorphose.

...

Shenque City, City Lord’s Mansion.

Uncle Thirteen returned, revealing all the information he had gathered in Haizhou.

"What did you say, Ye Feng isn’t a Five-turn Heavenly Venerable, just a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, following the internal universe cultivation path? How is it possible? Even if the internal universe is powerful, it can’t possibly cross a major realm and so many small realms to defeat my son!"

The City Lord of Shenque City felt incredulous.

The other Dao Monarchs also expressed disbelief, how could someone of Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Realm crush the Young City Lord?

It’s truly beyond belief!

"However, even for cultivators of the internal universe system, the combat power shouldn’t exceed the ninety-nine times limit, should it?" Second Uncle asked in a deep voice.

The Space Clan was quite well-known.

In the past, a Supreme Elder of the Space Clan visited Yunzhou, though only at the peak of a Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable, he managed to suppress an initial-stage Dao Monarch and became a legend.

That was when people took note of the Space Clan.

However, that Supreme Elder later left Yunzhou by teleportation array, and no one knows where he went, perhaps having already broken through the Dao Monarch Realm.

The City Lord of Shenque City said, "For cultivators of the internal universe system, when cultivated to the extreme, the combat power can reach ninety-nine times the norm, and with the continuous supply of cosmic power, they can fight ten with one. If they break through the peak of a Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerable, breaking the limit, and considering other factors, it’s possible to suppress ordinary Dao Monarchs."

He shifted the topic.

"But, someone like Ye Feng, who with Quasi-Heavenly Venerable cultivation, suppresses my son, is a first. Even if his internal universe is called one of the strongest single universes, Chaos Universe, at most, he could suppress a One-turn Heavenly Venerable."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

"But, Ye Feng just happens to break the limit, could it be that this person truly broke the ninety-nine times combat power limit of the heavens and earth, with the potential to become the sixth pinnacle existence in the future?" The City Lord of Shenque City said, his expression gloomy.

Upon hearing this, everyone drew a cold breath.
