As these words were spoken, the entire assembly of cultivators turned to stone.
That was a stroke from a peak existence of the Mahayana Realm, and it was aimed at the most vulnerable part of the throat, no less. What is this nonsense about it being ‘somewhat painful’?
Shouldn’t your head have been severed from your body by now?
Many rubbed their eyes in disbelief, their faces filled with incredulity. The brilliance of the blade just now was no joke, yet not even a scar was left on Li Xiaobai’s neck. What kind of cultivation level was this?
The big shots from Central Province said his cultivation level wasn’t strong and that he had survived multiple times solely by relying on his Magic Treasure, didn’t they?
Song Que stared at Li Xiaobai for a while and then suddenly said, “An invincible person, an invincible soul, to be invincible is to be above others?”
Li Xiaobai, “A fine poem, Senior is truly talented, I’m not worthy to follow in your footsteps.”
“Hmm, I have some insights into composing poetry and prose, we should exchange notes when we have time.”
“Certainly, certainly.”
“In this world, less than ten can survive my blade, and those unscathed are fewer than the number of fingers on one hand. Today, it seems I must add another to that count. Truly, the young generation is to be feared. Go on in.”
Song Que said slowly.
“Thank you, Senior, for showing mercy.”
Li Xiaobai had no words, this big shot was full of airs, speaking slickly and smoothly.
Without any hesitation, he walked slowly into the Holy City.
At the city gate, Song Que’s gaze suddenly became sharp, sweeping over everyone with a chilling air.
“What happened today, no one is to speak of it. If word gets out, I assure you, you’ll join the ranks of souls beneath my blade!”
The cultivators trembled, they understood that Li Xiaobai’s abilities far exceeded their imaginations, and even the judgment of those big shots from Central Province was flawed.
To survive a strike from Song Que, one must at least be at the starting level of the Mahayana Realm.
It was a secret among the powerhouses, not something for them to reveal. Immediately they all swore an oath to heaven, vowing never to speak of today’s events.
Yang Huan and her group were dumbstruck. What had they seen?
The big shot had actually withstood a strike from Sky Blade Song Que. This legendary figure had made a move against the big shot, and it was casually fended off.
Yang Huan felt uneasy. Earlier she hadn’t dared to inquire about the big shot’s affairs. She never anticipated that he was actually a wanted fugitive in Central Province, with a hefty bounty on his head placed by the elders of various races. She realized she had brought an extraordinary individual into the city.
Moreover, they had brought him into the Holy City.
If the big shot were to cause trouble within the Holy City in the future, she feared she wouldn’t be able to escape blame.
She must inform her father as soon as possible. Regardless, they must not offend this individual, whose cultivation was unfathomably deep and defied common sense. If he could be won over, it would be a tremendous boost for the Flesh Mountain Battlefield.
“Camp Leader Yang, just what sort of being have you befriended?”
The other Camp Masters nearby had gone pale. The disparity in levels was too great. The strength of the big shot far exceeded their imagination, and they had brought him into the Holy City without even ascertaining his identity.
If something were to go wrong in the future, they would be the sinners of the Holy City.
“Stop with the cold remarks. Senior Sky Blade has spoken, no one will speak of today’s matter. We will act as we always do, pretending to know nothing, and just follow the big shot closely!”
“I will inform my father. Who among the high-ranking members within the city are you familiar with? You should also give them a heads up. This person must not be offended!”
Yang Huan made a resolute decision and quickly issued orders.
“Understood!”
The cultivators in the group dispersed, each returning to their respective family forces to take preemptive measures.
Watching Li Xiaobai, who was walking calmly in front, Yang Huan bit her lip and hurriedly followed.
“Big shot, what are your plans now?”
“Hmm, it’s my first visit to the Holy City, and it’s quite different from what I imagined. Naturally, I wanted to take a look around,”
Li Xiaobai said.
“Given it’s the big shot’s first visit to the Holy City, you may not have found a place to stay. Why not come to my home as a guest first?”
Yang Huan tentatively asked.
“That sounds good, lead the way,”
Li Xiaobai nodded. He remembered that this woman lived near the City Lord of the Holy City and should have considerable power in this area.
The Holy City was an ancient city, not as bustling as one might imagine because it was situated on the frontier. The atmosphere within the city was tense.
The old city was vast, with no end in sight. Buildings loomed, and along the roads, one could see resting cultivators who, after a break, rode their flying lights and quickly disappeared into the sky, rushing towards the Flesh Mountain Battlefield.
Li Xiaobai saw his wanted notice on the city’s bulletin board.
However, there weren’t many cultivators standing around. On one hand, they didn’t believe Li Xiaobai would come to the frontier. On the other hand, the frontier had its own operational plans and did not need to listen to Central Province’s adjustments. Central Province couldn’t command them, and the frontier had no obligation to do things for Central Province.
The only thing that could tempt the frontier cultivators was that substantial bounty.
Li Xiaobai looked at the wanted notice without a ripple in his heart. Currently, he was nearly invincible, unstoppable. Even if by chance one or two cultivators of the Sea Clan’s leaders emerged, he still had Hellfire as an escape route.
It should be known that at this moment, the outer wastelands were all occupied by his Hellfire. With just one command from him, the surging black flames could instantly engulf the Holy City.
Yang Huan, however, was looking on with terrified apprehension. She had been worried all the way that someone would discover Li Xiaobai’s tracks. She wanted to urge the big shot to move faster but didn’t dare to, her heart in turmoil.
The City Lord’s Mansion was located in the central area of the Holy City.
Hidden among bamboo groves, with watchtowers standing tall, it had an air of grandeur, reminiscent of a historical relic.
“Miss has returned. The City Lord is inside discussing important matters. Should I let the brothers go in to report?”
The guards at the door recognized Yang Huan and were very polite.
“No need, I’ll go in and see my father by myself. Thank you for your hard work,”
“This is a big shot I met on the frontier, who may be able to lend aid to our human race,”
Yang Huan said with a smile.
“The Miss is wholeheartedly dedicated to the battlefield. I’m sure the City Lord will be very pleased.”
The guards were familiar with Yang Huan and let her pass without any obstruction.
However, when Li Xiaobai passed by, they couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at him, feeling like they had seen this person somewhere before but couldn’t remember where at that moment.
Shaking their heads, perhaps they were just being paranoid.
“Big shot, my father is probably inside the great hall discussing the battlefield situation with the other City Lords. Please wait here for a moment,”
Yang Huan said.
The frontier wasn’t overseen by a single City Lord. The City Lord of the Holy City commanded overall, but each of the four battlefields had its own city, each with its own City Lord.
Although these City Lords were nominally under the command of the Holy City, when it came to matters big or small, they had to discuss and make decisions, after all, it was the City Lords of the four battlefields who faced life and death at the front lines.
Their opinions were important.
Li Xiaobai nodded, finding nothing inappropriate about this. He had no interest in arranging troops, analyzing battle situations.
What he really wanted was to find that Evil Sect leader and uncover the secrets of the fragments.
Watching Yang Huan enter the great hall, Li Xiaobai aimlessly wandered outside, not expecting to see a familiar figure.
The person looked up at Li Xiaobai, their expression somewhat astonished.
“It’s you!”
