471 Paying a Visi (1/2)
Yingchou City.
The lofty and majestic looking city seemed rather bleak in the sunset.
There were all sorts of markings on the steel-like city walls caused by swords and axes. Miles and miles of ground were covered in a deep red colour. Rumours were that there was too much bloodshed which caused the ground to be dyed red.
This stronghold of the Imperial Court was the last hurdle before the Jade Capital. Now, it had already fully fallen into the hands of Shi Longtu.
Not only were there large amounts of armies gathered, there were also many dream masters from the 5 Grand Organisations. They were guarding against any sudden attacks from the Imperial Court and their level of alertness was higher than ever before.
Fang Yuan merely strolled forward and immediately felt the immense power of an array scanning pass him.
This was the array that enveloped ten miles over Yingchou City, it was like a radar and was specially used to detect any invaders. Although Fang Yuan could sneak right through it, he chose not to avoid it instead and directly revealed himself.
”Who are you?”
Soon enough, a group of dream masters rushed over. They appeared extremely cautious.
After all, from the feedback of the array, Fang Yuan had a profound cultivation which was truly terrifying. If there were not any allied soldiers who reacted, it might even alarm a few elders.
”Fang Yuan from Realm Alliance!”
Fang Yuan casually showed his proof of identity.
”Oh, a law enforcer from the Realm Alliance! I am Su Lu from Baize Mountain. Greetings, Sir!”
The leader of this small group was a 5th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master. However, he immediately bowed to Fang Yuan and was obviously rather ingratiating.
'Fang Yuan?'
'That genius who's less than 30 years old but broke through to True Divine?'
'Not only that, he's also at the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage! Such talentedness, he's simply a rare freak!'
Behind Su Lu, a few Illusionary Divine dream masters were exchanging glances and secretly communicating through their spiritual wills.
However, with Fang Yuan's current strength, all these could not be hidden from him and he heard everything.
”How's the current situation of the battle?”
Fang Yuan waved his arms and asked straightforwardly.
Currently, the 5 Grand Organisations had joined forces. They were very sincere in cooperating and working with each other before the fall of Da Qian.
”Shi Longtu had already assembled 30,000 soldiers and they are prepared to charge directly to Jade Capital City!”
Su Lu spoke calmly. He knew that without the help of the 5 Grand Organisations, even if 30,000 soldiers were gathered, they would be defeated.
”Looks like it has finally caught up, who's the elder from Realm Alliance that's taking charge here?”
Fang Yuan asked.
”It is Elder Extreme Darkness!” Su Lu quickly answered. Inside his mind, he further confirmed the rumours he always heard about Fang Yuan, that Fang Yuan was a cultivator who would be too engrossed in his own cultivation that he wouldn't know about what had happened in the outside world.
”Okay! Bring me to her!”
Fang Yuan was very calm. He waved his hand and allowed Su Lu to lead his way.
Inside Fang Yuan's actualised dream world, numerous seals were formed on the outside that protected the stone figure of a young girl, ensuring that it would not be revealed.
....
It was now a huge military camp both inside and outside Yingchou City.
The best spots in the city had totally nothing to do with Shi Longtu nor his men. Instead, they were occupied by the dream masters from the 5 Grand Organisations.
As the Realm Alliance's highest in-charge of Yingchou City, Extreme Darkness naturally had the best mansion. It was said that this mansion used to belong to the deputy city master and it occupied huge amounts of land. The pavilions, gardens and the cloisters were still perfectly preserved and they were unusually exquisite.
”Fang Yuan requests to see Elder Extreme Darkness!”
Fang Yuan arrived outside the mansion and requested.
”Come in!”
A voice was heard and It sounded calm and rather chilly. Fang Yuan was used to it, whereas Su Lu laughed bitterly, ”You can go ahead, I shall leave first!”
Su Lu quickly left. Evidently, their impressions of Extreme Darkness were not very good.
Fang Yuan was slightly speechless. He walked into the mansion and followed his feeling towards the garden at the back.
Although the mansion was opulent and was like a palace, there was no trace of humans living here at all. The further he walked, the chilly feeling in the air felt even stronger.
”Tsk tsk...”
Fang Yuan shook his head and took a step into the garden.
The precious flowers and plants on both sides were half-dead and half-alive, half-withered and half-living. The leaves were covered in slight frost and looked really eerie.
All these were not intentional. They were naturally caused as they were in an environment under the influence of such a powerful presence.
If normal people were here instead, they would not even be able to survive more than three days. Even Illusionary Divine dream masters would suffer severe injuries to their elemental energy.
Fang Yuan nodded his head. He knew why Elder Extreme Darkness always appeared as though she was fated to be lonely forever.
”You have come, that's great!”
Inside a small pavilion in the middle of the garden, Elder Extreme Darkness sat cross-legged. As she saw Fang Yuan arrive, her expressions remained calm-looking. Only the slight glint in her eyes betrayed her.
Although Fang Yuan did not have deep ties with Elder Extreme Darkness, he still imprisoned a magical clone of hers in Planet Earth Realm. As the magical clone was imprisoned for 10 years, all sorts of intelligence were dug out naturally. Hence, Fang Yuan could confirm that she was secretly examining him.
