Above the three spaces, Shangguan Yan Zhong laughed heartily, his voice clear and confident: "Yi Hui, I truly didn't expect that our Wànjiè Merchant Association could still add another Xian-Fan Bridge realm, hahaha..."
"Anything important, I will definitely come back for it, and I must come back to congratulate you."
"Congratulations are still not in a hurry, because this is the real or false Xian-Fan Bridge is not certain." A abrupt voice sound up.
Though the voice was not urgent or hurried, it could be heard as clearly in the entire Boundless City as it could in the hundred miles around its perimeter.
Everyone followed the voice to see the speaker, a simple-clothes youth.
Unlike others, this simple-clothes youth was neither standing on the Wànjiè Square nor outside the square, but standing above everyone's heads on the square.
At this moment, he stood in mid-air, holding a long spear in his hand, with a tuft of red tassels at the tip of the spear.
Some people who knew the inside story couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air.
At the Wànjiè Merchant Association's Xian-Fan Bridge grand ceremony, there would definitely be restrictions on airspace and travel.
Even stepping back, even without an airspace restriction, it is not allowed for someone to stand on top of another's head, let alone that the Association Master Shangguan Yanzhong is beneath this person.
This is not only arrogant but downright brazen to the extreme.
Shangguan Yanzhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was well aware of how difficult Ding Huan's move was.
The airspace and travel restrictions of Boundless City were personally set up by him. He is an eight-level Array King, and no one can break through the restrictions he has set up.
Now the opponent not only easily breaks through it, but also stands on his head, and even he hasn't felt it.
Not to mention the strength of the opponent, their level of array magic is far superior to his.
"Who are you?" Shangguan Yanzhong raised his hand to stop a few senior divine elders who were about to rush forward.
Ding Huan, who dares to be brazen in the Wànjiè Merchant Association, must be killed by the association. However, before killing him, he needs to know the other party's origin.
And he also thinks that Ding Huan should be at the Xian-Fan Bridge realm, otherwise he wouldn't have the courage to do so.
Ding Huan had taken off his mask long ago. He didn't answer Shangguan Yanzhong's words, but shouted loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, ten years ago my few friends were killed by the Wànjiè Merchant Association, today I have come to speak my mind, this is the enmity between me and the Wànjiè Merchant Association."
In case of a fight, once the swords and spears are drawn, they won't be discriminatory. As for me, I've always been heavy-handed in killing enemies.
Please all non-Wànjiè Merchant Association cultivators in Boundless City to leave immediately. Those who remain in Boundless City will be considered as allying against me."
After saying this, Ding Huan looked at Shangguan Yanzhong: "You are the Will Master of Wànjiè Merchant Association, right? I'll let those who are not related to this grievance leave first. Do you have any objection?"
Shangguan Yanzhong said indifferently, "Boundless City is open to anyone coming in or going out. But if you're unwilling to say who you really are, don't blame me for taking action."
After saying this, the robe on Shangguan Yanzhong's body moved without wind, and the fierce Xian-Fan Bridge realm aura pressed towards Ding Huan.
The domain aura collided with Ding Huan's domain, but Ding Huan did not move at all:
"Will the Association Master really not give anyone a chance to live? If the Association Master wants to drag all innocent people into it, then let's come on."
Shangguan Yanzhong laughed loudly: "Good! Since that's the case, within this incense time, all who are not part of the Wànjiè Merchant Association or unrelated to it, please leave Boundless City."
Of course, if you don't want to leave, I, Shangguan Yanzhong, as the head of the Wànjiè Merchant Association, guarantee that no one will harm you even a hair.
"Shangguan Headmaster, since we have come here, we are supporting the Wànjiè Merchant Association. To say that we will leave is too polite."
The affairs of the Wànjiè Merchant Association are ours. How dare a wild brash fellow from some unknown corner challenge the Wànjiè Merchant Association? Spit on him! We are willing to go through thick and thin with the Wànjiè Merchant Association."
A pale-faced man said loudly, his voice revealing a determination to die for the Wànjiè Merchant Association.
"This cultivator, many friends are unwilling to leave, which I cannot force." Shangguan Yanzhong looked at Ding Huan indifferently and said.
In reality, after this guy spoke up, no one followed him.
Ding Huan also laughed heartily, "Whether or not you want to leave, the survival passage will be open for a stick of incense..."
As soon as he said this, Ding Huan raised his voice again:
"I will clearly tell you all that I have come today to slaughter the city."
All people in Boundless City, whether you are at home or out, please leave within a stick of incense. After a stick of incense has passed, everyone will be considered enemy or friend, and you will be responsible for your own life and death..."
"Playing god and fooling people..." A senior divine cultivator couldn't take it anymore, charging up to confront Ding Huan. He wanted to punch him down with one blow.
But before he could fully charge, he was stopped by the airspace restrictions and fell from mid-air.
Ding Huan did not go to kill him; he did not want to harm the innocent. However, he knew this fellow was far from innocent.
He guessed that if he killed this divine cultivator, it might immediately cause a chaotic fight.
He didn't mind a chaotic fight, but he was worried about the many innocent people who had not left yet.
Ding Huan did not move, nor did Shangguan Yanzhong. He simply closed his eyes, and a long sword hovered above his head, while the violent aura domain seemed to be continually swelling.
If his domain hadn't been unable to crush Ding Huan's domain, he would have gone up to kill him long ago.
At this moment, even if he could kill Ding Huan, it would undoubtedly result in a large number of deaths. This would have no effect on Ding Huan but could harm the reputation of the Wànjiè Merchant Association.
A few people were already hurrying towards the city outskirts.
They realized that Ding Huan was extremely powerful, even Shangguan Yanzhong couldn't overwhelm him.
The patriarchs and elders of the sects that came to congratulate were embarrassed. Should they leave or not?
If they leave, it would mean disrespecting the Wànjiè Merchant Association and offending it. If they don't leave, this commoner seems difficult to deal with.
If the Wànjiè Merchant Association fails to kill him this time, they will have offended a ruthless individual again.
As for whether Ding Huan would kill them if they didn't leave, few believed that.
"Qǐ Jiàn Dao Zōng has left?" Someone whispered in the crowd.
The leader of Qǐ Jiàn Dao, which is one of the three major sects on the edge of Kui Xīng Lu.
Although their strength is not as great as the Wànjiè Merchant Association, they are also a top-tier existence on the Edge of Kui Xing.
Seeing the departure of Qǐ Jiàn Dao's patriarch, several more sect patriarchs immediately followed suit and left.
"The people from Jì Dào Mén and Xuán Dān Gǔ have also left..."
"We are just here for the ceremony; there is no point in staying. Let's go."
"Right, why should we small fry stay here?"
……
The departure of the patriarch from Qǐ Jiàn Dao seemed to bring a sense of crisis, and even though the Wànjiè Merchant Association is incredibly powerful, more and more people were leaving Boundless City.
The vast majority of people in Boundless City were thinking, "This battle at the Xian-Fan Bridge realm level concerns us what?"
And if the battle is over and they return, will the Wànjiè Merchant Association dare to bother them, the cultivators at the bottom of society?
Groups of people left Boundless City quickly, and eventually, even the Wànjiè Merchant Association's employees wanted to leave.
However, they still daren't, because others leaving may only offend the Wànjiè Merchant Association, but if they leave, it would be a form of betrayal.
"The patriarch, why do we have to leave? This is offending the Wànjiè Merchant Association, right? The Wànjiè Merchant Association just gained another Xian-Fan Bridge realm, and we..." The elder of Qǐ Jiàn Dao who had just left Boundless City asked softly in a low voice.
Yè Lie said coldly, "Do you know why the Deputy Headmaster Yi Canzhen of the Wànjiè Merchant Association was able to ascend to the level of Xian-Fan Bridge?"
"Heard it was a Jiǔ Cǎi Xīan-Fàn Lían." The elder replied.
Yè Lie snorted: "Do you know if there was a nine-color divine and mortal lotus sold at the Wànjiè Merchant Association's floating city auction twenty years ago?"
"Of course I know, back then, there were around 200 divine cultivators who went to attack the cultivator who bought the nine-color divine and mortal lotus, but they were all defeated..."
The elder seemed to remember something and looked shocked at the patriarch, "Could it be that...?"
Yè Lie sighed, "This matter will not end simply. Think about what reason that young man said he came here for?"
"It's because of his several friends being killed here more than a decade ago..."
The elder finally came to understand. They still remembered the incident from more than a decade ago all too well.
Because this is the only time that someone dares to defy the Wànjiè Merchant Association's death warrant, kill a Wànjiè Merchant Association's divine cultivator.
It was obvious that the person on the death warrant was the young man who came today. The friends of the young man who tore up the death warrant and were killed by the Wànjiè Merchant Association were his companions.
He is here to avenge his friends.
It can be seen that not only Yè Liè understands this matter, some sect patriarchs also understand it.
Since it is a matter like this, no one wants to get involved. Even if they offend the Wànjiè Merchant Association because of it, they can only retreat first.
"That young man knows so much about the presence of these sect patriarchs and elders, and he's on his own. He wisely lets those not involved leave," the elder sighed with a sense of admiration.
Yè Liè helplessly said, "Zū Zǎo, do you think that this young man is afraid of crowds? He just doesn't want to kill innocent people or make unnecessary enemies."
"If he lets us go and we don't leave, it won't be making enemies, but standing on the same side with the Wànjiè Merchant Association. He will naturally have no psychological burden in killing."
...
"The one-stick-of-incense time has arrived, let me, Shangguan Yanzhong, have a taste of your abilities," said Shangguan Yanzhong before taking a step forward into mid-air and charging towards Ding Huan.
He didn't ask Ding Huan about his background anymore, probably knowing who he is.
Ding Huan raised his hand and drew out arrays of spells, instantly trapping the entire Boundless City in a deathly array. At the same time, Ding Huan released a poisonous array.
Some cultivators who didn't leave were panicking.
"Why did Master Shangguan lock up the Boundless City?"
"Idiot, it's not that Master Shangguan locked up the Boundless City, but that brat..."
"So what? He sought his own death and locked his own escape routes. This is even better."
Some cultivators who sensed something amiss quietly prepared to leave, as the protective arrays of Boundless City were laid out by the Wànjiè Merchant Association.
If the Wànjiè Merchant Association could control the arrays, it wouldn't have been an outsider who locked up Boundless City in the first place.
Shangguan Yanzhong swung his sword, creating whirls of sword qi. His Xian-Fan Bridge realm aura was like a tangible force crushing down on Ding Huan.
The swirling sword qi enveloped Ding Huan in the middle, then formed a massive vortex of sword qi.
The vortex of sword qi had an infinite number of sword lightnings, as if they were going to tear Ding Huan into fragments.
Ding Huan looked at the whirlwind of sword qi enveloping him. He didn't move because he wanted to see if he could break through the other party's divine realm domain in this godlike ability.
Otherwise, before Shangguan Yanzhong's sword qi whirlpool was fully formed, Ding Huan could have destroyed his divine ability.
"President, this person killed my Peng family's Peng Sa, and we from the Peng family will never forgive and forget..."
A voice of grief and anger rang out, followed by a red-robed man who rushed forward as well. Before he even arrived, his divine realm aura had already overlapped on top of Shangguan Yanzhong's, pressing down on Ding Huan.
(Friend, good night, request for moon ticket support!)
