Chapter 122 - Pyramid (1/2)
Later, Jean reached the Divine Phoenix City after landing in front of the city gate.
And the first thing that happened…
”Hey… Isn't that…”
”Yeah… It'd the guy from the post-HOLY SHIT IT'S THE GUY FROM THE POSTER OF THE MIGHTY HEAVENLY SWORD REGION! CALL THE REINFOR-”
*Clang!*
Two cages appeared from nothing and sealed the two guards in front of the gate, surprising them.
”...”
The guards shouted and tried to get out, but no sound came out.
”I almost forgot about that…” Jean approached the two guards and said. ”Now since you saw my face, I need to kill you… So please, don't make me do it, if me and you two ignore each other, no one will get hurt. Ok?”
The guards trembled and tried to call the reinforcements with a jade, but nothing happened. Jean smiled and nodded. ”Nothing will happen… Now that you are trapped from my profound art, you will die as soon as I want it. I just need to seal your heart too, and boom!”
Jean also played with gestures, to make things more dramatic. The guards yelped and kowtowed. Jean snapped his fingers, and the cages disappeared, freeing the guards.
”Now remember, since you were caught from my profound art, the seal will be always attached to your bodies, it is just not active.
If you try to do something about it, it will activate around your heart, if you do something I don't like, it will activate anyway.”
”...T-Thank you, good sir…” Jean nodded and smiled. ”I never seen you two.”
”We never seen anyone passing here… I don't know who was talking here, do you?” One of the guards looked at the other, who shook his head in denial.
Jean walked inside the Divine Profound City and quickly hid behind a building.
”Alright, Jasmine, is there anything I can use to cover my face?” He could also use herbs to disguise himself, but he had a feeling that he had something just right for this moment.
”There is a custom mask over here…”
Oh right, the mask he obtained from killing the branch of the Xiao Sect. ”Great!”
He took the jade white mask that didn't have any detail, and looked through it. It had some formless profound qi, which made it seem obvious on how it works…
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, before the white mask on his hands started to transform and got heavy.
…
The atmosphere of the Divine Phoenix City carried a trace of searing heat thanks to the extremely huge number of profound practitioners who trained in fire attribute profound arts, especially with the Divine Phoenix Sect as the head.
The size of Divine Phoenix City was enough to be 20 times larger than Blue Wind Imperial City. Even if that was the case, the level of density of people was still exceptionally shocking at the borders of the city.
Countless of profound practitioners, wearing various types of clothes, were moving about. Among them, most appeared in groups, and seemingly everyone was emitting out an extremely dense and heavy profound aura…
From these people, just by casually picking any one of them out, he or she would be at the level of a Sect Master in Blue Wind Nation.
But even if the mix between the people's clothings might be confusing, there was an exception…
There was a man with the body of a 20 years old walking bȧrė-footed. A cloth hanged around his waist, covering his legs and waist, but it was clear that it was just a coat.
