Chapter 1063 - Sorcerer Soul Warhammer (1/2)

A beam of flowing light barged into Yingyun City from outside. Hordes of other flowing light flew up to intercept that one beam of flowing light. However, one and all they failed to hold back the golden flowing light.

“Stop right here, my friend,” a cold and stern voice rang out.

Shortly after, a beam of blue light shot up to the sky. That flowing light was incomparably quick like thunder and lighting, and it was barely slower than that golden flowing light. Because of his position, he intercepted the other halfway and intercepted the golden light easily on the only road it passed.

Within the blue light was a middle-aged man who had a stern look on his face, solemn and dignified like someone who had been leading for a long time.

This was none other than the Muhong City Mayor, a cultivator at the Supreme Profundity Realm.

The golden flowing light paid no mind to the Muhong City Mayor’s words at all. It twisted skilfully, attempting to circle round the Muhong City Mayor and barging into Yingyun City.

“Hm, seems like you want to do this the hard way,” the Muhong City Mayor huffed coldly.

With a flip of his palm, a gray alms bowl appeared in his hand. He formed a magical seal in his hand, then the gray alms bowl abruptly flew into the sky and ceaselessly expanded. In an instant, it had grown to become hundreds of miles big, as if it could contain an entire mountain.

The gray alms bowl was not an ordinary item—it exuded a sort of spatial energy. Though the alms was not big apparently, it could contain multitudes. The space in a thousand-mile radius seemed to be immediately fixed when the alms bowl loomed over, and wisps of gray air current flew out ceaselessly from it before it swirled around the golden flowing light.

That golden flowing light, when encompassed within the gray air current, instantly slowed down, as if it was held in place by a bout of space power.

“Demonic Alms Bowl!”

The Huai Clan’s second young mistress huffed in shock. With a stern look on her face, she said:”Be careful. That’s the Demonic Alms Bowl, an earth spiritual treasure, which is not any less famous than Yingyun City’s Sishui Spirit Imprint.”

She never expected that the Muhong City Mayor came out with the Demonic Alms Bowl right from the beginning. Since this item had an extraordinary strength, the general Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator would find it troublesome to deal with when they met with it.

“Spatial energy accumulation.”

Shock flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. Treasures that could accumulate spatial energy were extremely rare, and meanwhile they were usually of high ranks, like his Junior Master’s Pagoda. The ability to form its own space and even alter time making it a rather high-end, top-tier space-time treasure. Space-time treasures at the earth treasure tier were rare indeed.

If a regular cultivator came across a treasure containing such spatial energy like this, they would probably struggle to handle it, but with a sneer, Mo Wen flipped his hand, and then a tiny pagoda made of white jade appeared in his hand. That small pagoda was intricate beyond compare with an antique and vintage feel to it. It gave off an ancient and resplendent aura—this was the Junior Master’s Pagoda.

The appearance of the Junior Master’s Pagoda triggered a series of wave-like ripples, and everywhere the water ripples passed caused the spatial energy that had restrained the surrounding area to disappear bit by bit.

The golden flowing light returned to normal once more, then continued flying forth.

“How could this be?!”

The Muhong City Mayor was astounded and he stared at the golden light in disbelief. His Demonic Alms Bowl had actually failed, and had been soundlessly unravelled by the other. How could that be? This was the strongest of his spiritual treasures, and not even the Supreme Profundity Realm cultivators who were of the same rank as him could deal with this so easily.

Just what was that white jade pagoda, and how could it so easily destroy the restrain of the Demonic Alms Bowl? Was it also a space-type treasure?

the Muhong City Mayor was shocked by the pagoda, and soon greed was written in his eyes. Space-type treasures were few and far between and any single one of those was a rare treasure. Besides, that white jade pagoda could restrain the Demonic Alms Bowl, so it was possible that the pagoda was of a higher rank than his Demonic Alms Bowl.

“Stay here!” the Muhong City Mayor called out coldly.

A blue light chased after the golden flowing light in a flash. At the same time, a dark black sword appeared in his hand. The long sword was five feet and three inches long and it gave off a dark and gloomy aura, as if it was not a sword by a demon hidden in a scabbard.

On the city wall, an elegant figure appeared. This was Yingyun City’s first young mistress Huai Hongxiu, and she could recognize with just one glance that the figure hidden in the golden light was her own sister, Huai Xiaoru. As for the other young man dressed in white robes, she was not too sure who he was and, in that moment, she did not know where he was from either.

“Just what was going on? Why was Xiaoru back? And why she is storming Yingyun City now?” Rage and shock alike flashed across Huai Hongxiu’s eyes. She had gone through all that trouble to have her own sister escorted out and barely a day had passed, so why was she already running back?

“First young mistress, I’m afraid it was the second young mistress who wanted to return,” a high-level Yingyun City cultivator chucked bitterly. A lot of the older cultivators in Yingyun City had watched the second young mistress as she grew, so they knew her temper really well.

“That’s ridiculous!” Huai Hongxiu’s face was flush with anger. Her sister was acting so ridiculously, could she not just spare a thought for someone else?

“What should we do now, first young mistress? Do we leave the camp to save the second young mistress?” one of the older Yingyun City cultivators asked anxiously. There were a lot of Muhong City cultivators who were blocking the way outside, and now the Muhong City Mayor had even stepped forth himself. If they did not intervene, there was no doubt that the second young mistress would die.

The other higher-ups of Yingyun City were equally stumped. The second young mistress was right outside the city walls now, so were they to save her or not?

The reason why Yingyun City can be able to survive now is relying on the stratagems and prohibitions that Wise Man Huai Guang had fixed up back then. Those stratagems and prohibitions had taken shape through ceaseless reinforcement and upgrading for hundreds and thousands of years, so their power was rather terrifying, and even a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator would not dare to recklessly barge through.

This was also why the Muhong City Mayor had put off attacking Yingyun City for a long time even though he had been eyeing it.

Those stratagems and prohibitions posed a huge obstacle to even the Muhong City Mayor, so he had no choice but to carefully plan his next moves before he could take on the city.

Of course, the stratagems and prohibitions were static, but humans were dynamic. Relying on the prohibition was not a long-term plan, and Yingyun City would sooner or later be brought to its knees by the Muhong City Mayor. This was why the Huai Clan first young mistress tried to find another way around things and had a portion of the younger people from the Huai Clan sent out.

“Why are you even asking? Of course we should head out to save the second young mistress,” an old cultivator said hurriedly, misgivings swimming in his eyes.

A lot of the Yingyun City higher-ups nodded and agreed that they should rescue the second young mistress, but more of them kept silent and refused to say anything.

Going out of the city to save the second young mistress was the same as losing the protection of Yingyun City’s stratagems and prohibitions, and they would likely fall in one fell swoop when they went up against the horde of strong Muhong City cultivators. Not everyone of them had deep feeling for the second young mistress, so some people was naturally unwilling to risk such dangers to head out of the city and save her.

What’s more, the second young mistress was running back even after she had escaped. What was this if not courting death?

The Huai Clan first young mistress who had kept silent had her brows furrowed. She cast her gaze out at the golden light far from the city and, after a long while, she finally said dispassionately, “Declare martial law. No one other than me is allowed to leave the city.”

The moment she said that, everyone in Yingyun City understood that the first young mistress was intending to personally rescue the second young mistress. In an instant, everyone blanched.

“First young mistress, you should not do that certainly. You can’t leave the city, please leave this to me instead. I promise that I’ll be sure to bring the second young mistress back safe and sound.” an old cultivator immediately intervened.

The first young mistress was now the backbone of the entire Yingyun City, and anyone was dispensable except for her. If anything happened to her, the city would fall immediately.
