Chapter 509 – Leaving The City! (2/2)
Yang Ye and the others left silently from the city under Xia Yinghou’s arrangement and hadn’t alarmed anyone.
Yang Ye smiled loudly as he gazed at Martial World City that was standing before him right now. After all, all the people within the city wanted to kill him. Of course, he wouldn’t go trying to seek revenge from them because it was meaningless. They were all just idiots who Luo Jun was using. Killing them would be of no benefit to him at all, and it wouldn’t harm Luo Jun’s foundations in the central territory at all!
In the past, Yang Ye didn’t believe in destined foes, but he believed it now. Both Luo Jun and he were born in the same era, so they were bound to be destined foes because both of them were peerless geniuses who refused to submit to the other. As it was said, two tigers can’t coexist on a single mountain. So one of them was bound to be killed by the other!
...
Two hours after Yang Ye’s group left Martial World City, Liu Changyuan and a robust man arrived at the city.
“Di, have you found Yang Ye?” asked Liu Changyuan.
The robust man fell silent for a while, and then he laid p.r.o.ne on the ground while he pressed his slightly strange nose against the ground. He took a light sniff before he stood up, and then he said, “His scent isn’t within the city. He’s probably not in there!”
Liu Changyuan’s face fell, and the robust man said, “But a scent he left behind does exist in the city. In other words, he was in the city.” When he spoke up to this point, the robust man walked towards the north and said, “He has probably left in that direction. His scent still lingers on that path!”
“Let’s go!” Liu Changyuan’s figure flashed and vanished on the spot. The robust man hurriedly followed him.
After Liu Changyuan left, a veiled woman in violet armor arrived at the city, and then she went straight to the City Governor’s Estate.
“I didn’t know the Special Amba.s.sador would be arriving. I’m sorry for not welcoming your arrival. Please do forgive me!” Xia Yinghou bowed slightly to the veiled woman, and he spoke in a slightly courteous manner. Even though they were both Exalt Realm experts, he knew his own limitations. He was absolutely not a match for her because she was a member of the Empire’s Royal Guard, and she was a trusted subordinate of the current Crown Prince.
The Royal Guard were only loyal to the emperor, and it was an army that even the Mortal Emperor feared and was unable to take control of.
The veiled woman said, “City Governor Xia, there’s no need for pleasantries. I merely came here to tell you that Yang Ye isn’t in Martial World City anymore.”
“What!” Xia Yinghou was shocked and said, “That’s absolutely impossible. I’ve ordered for the entire city to be locked down. Even a mosquito can dream of flying out of the city. How could Yang Ye have possibly fled the city!?”
The veiled woman said, “I didn’t come here to get into an argument with you. From today onward, all the troops within Martial World City will be under my control. You only have to do 2 things. Firstly, notify everyone within Martial World City that Yang Ye has left the city. Secondly, gather all the profounders within the city who are at the fifth rank of the Spirit Realm and above, and ask them to gather at the northern city gates. Kill all those who aren’t there within 15 minutes!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the veiled woman turned around and left. However, she stopped when she arrived at the door and said, “That includes you, City Governor Xia!”
...
The Swamplands.
As its name implied, it was a swamp. It covered a very huge area that was at least five times larger than Martial World City. There were many Killer Crocodiles within the swamp, and adult Killer Crocodiles were equivalent to Exalt Realm experts. Moreover, there were at least 50 adult Killer Crocodiles within the entire swamp!
50 Exalt Realm experts!
Even Yang Ye was surprised when he heard this number. Fortunately, the Killer Crocodiles didn’t live in groups. Especially once they’d achieved adulthood because all of them had their own territory then. In other words, they were separated, and it would be much easier to deal with them since they were separated.
However, there was a problem in their way, and it was how they should pa.s.s through the swamp? Should they walk? Even though it was a swamp, it wasn’t entirely covered in a swamp. There were many paths through it as well. But the problem was that walking through those paths made it very likely for them to be besieged by countless Killer Crocodiles. They were truly not confident in their ability to take such paths until the end with the strengths they possessed.
As for flying… how long could they fly for? What if their profound energy was exhausted while they flew, and then they fell into the swamp…?
“Let’s go!” Yang Ye remained silent for a while before he decided. If he used the Ninth h.e.l.l Swordwings, then he could fly through the swamp, but the problem was… could he even use it? The Ninth h.e.l.l Swordwings had become a unique symbol of his! But if he didn’t use the Ninth h.e.l.l Swordwings and used his wings condensed from profound energy instead, then truthfully speaking, even he wasn’t confident in his ability to fly through the swamp because it was truly too vast! Moreover, Lu Jianyao and the others were by his side as well. Since he couldn’t, then it was even more impossible for them!
Lu Jianyao was slightly excited and burned with eagerness when she heard Yang Ye. In any case, Yang Ye was here, so she felt that the Killer Crocodiles were nothing to worry about no matter how many of them were present in the swamp. On the other hand, the corners of Lu He, Sikong Mind, and Mo Qingyue’s mouths had twitched. They were truly not confident in their ability to fight their way through the swamp!
Their group had just entered the swamp when Yang Ye suddenly stopped moving, and then he swiftly turned around and gazed towards the distant horizon. He fell silent for a while before he said, “All of you go on without me. I have something to deal with first. I’ll catch up once I’m done!”
