When Aotian resolved the trouble with Huo Wutian and returned to the battlefield, the outcomes in the battle circles of Sun Jing and Niu Geng were also determined.
Sun Jing's cultivation was not at all inferior to Huo Wutian's, which meant his strength was naturally a bit stronger than that of the Second Offering.
In the end, Sun Jing kicked the top of the Second Offering's head, causing it to explode, and he completely fell at Sun Jing's hands.
On the other side, Niu Geng could not gain any advantage against Three Offerings. Ultimately, he unleashed "First Level Demonization," which caused his strength to soar, and with one punch, he shattered Three Offerings' heart.
Meanwhile, the disciples of Azure Cloud Sect were completely captured by Aotian and his companions. After all, they were merely Half-Step Human Spirit Realm warriors, far weaker than Aotian. Moreover, Aotian did not give them a chance to form the Azure Cloud Sunset Formation, resulting in the demise of those ten or so Azure Cloud Sect disciples.
It can be said that this encirclement by Azure Cloud Sect against Aotian ended with the latter's victory.
When Sun Jing learned that the High Priest had been slain by Aotian, his expression showed extreme shock. After all, the High Priest's strength was at least equal to his own, yet Aotian managed to kill him. This undoubtedly indicated that even if Sun Jing faced Aotian himself, he would not fare well.
This further solidified Sun Jing's determination to advance and retreat together with Aotian.
If before, Sun Jing valued Aotian's potential as a form of appreciation from a senior to a junior, now he truly regarded Aotian as being on the same level as himself.
In Sun Jing's mind, Aotian was not only a terrifyingly powerful existence but also a junior with immense potential. Forming an alliance with such a person was far more fortunate than being his enemy.
"Up ahead is Sunset City; leaving Sunset City means stepping out of Azure Cloud Sect's sphere of influence," Sun Jing said to Aotian while pointing at the outline of the massive city from a mountaintop.
Aotian nodded in response. As he gazed at the outline of the giant city, worry flickered in his eyes.
From Chen Qiao, Aotian learned that Aoling had already gone to Ning City with intentions against him. Therefore, after dealing with those three Offerings from Azure Cloud Sect, Aotian hurriedly made his way out of Azure Cloud Sect's territory.
This was also to ensure he could leave Azure Cloud Sect's influence as soon as possible and avoid being constantly on guard against their encirclement.
Secondly, of course, Aotian was worried about what might happen in Ning City and Aojia. This was also the main reason he was traveling through the night.
"Sunset City is the most peripheral city within the Azure Cloud Sect's territory. If the Azure Cloud Sect wants to encircle us, there must be extremely powerful warriors stationed in this city. Therefore, we must be cautious when entering the city and try not to let anyone from the Azure Cloud Sect discover us," Aotian said cautiously.
Sun Jing and Niu Geng nodded in agreement after hearing Aotian's words.
Then, the three of them flew toward the outline of the massive city.
Up close, Aotian felt the vastness of Sunset City. It seemed like a primordial beast, eternally standing between heaven and earth.
Outside Sunset City, there were thirty to forty patrolling soldiers, each exuding a strong aura; they were all Innate Realm warriors.
"Sunset City is indeed one of the few large cities within the Azure Cloud Sect's territory. The defensive strength here is remarkably formidable," Aotian thought to himself as he observed the soldiers patrolling back and forth.
The warriors visible on the surface were already quite strong; it was hard to imagine how terrifying the high-level warriors hidden within Sunset City might be.
The three of them blended into the crowd flowing into Sunset City without attracting the attention of those soldiers.
However, they did not notice that at the moment they entered the city, a patrolling soldier suddenly brightened his eyes. He quietly left his patrol team and quickly ran in a direction toward Sunset City.
When Aotian and his companions arrived in Sunset City, they couldn't help but marvel at the scene before them.
The streets in Sunset City were crisscrossed and appeared extremely spacious, lined with all sorts of peculiar shops on both sides.
Groups of soldiers continuously patrolled the streets, seemingly maintaining order within Sunset City.
However, since Aotian and his companions had seen their fair share of grand sights, they merely marveled for a moment before regaining their composure.
"Sunset City is still the territory of Azure Cloud Sect. We shouldn't linger here; let's leave the city immediately to avoid any unforeseen circumstances!" Aotian said in a deep voice after scanning the surroundings and finding nothing unusual.
Sun Jing and Niu Geng nodded in agreement. To avoid any prolonged troubles, they all believed it was best to leave right away.
Thus, the three of them headed quickly toward another city gate of Sunset City.
As a large city, Sunset City naturally covered a vast area. Even with their strength at the Human Spirit Realm, it took Aotian and his companions some effort to reach the city gate.
Upon seeing the gate, Aotian's face lit up with joy. He understood that once he stepped through that door, he would be free as a bird in the sky and a fish in the sea.
No matter how powerful Azure Cloud Sect was, as long as he left the northern part of Fengyun Nation, it wouldn't be easy for them to deal with him.
After all, he still held the identity of an Inner Academy Student from Xuantian Academy, which would make Azure Cloud Sect wary of him.
However, despite his joy, Aotian felt a deep concern. Logically, Azure Cloud Sect had no reason to let him go, yet since entering Sunset City, everything had gone smoothly for him. Now that he was about to leave Sunset City, could it be that Azure Cloud Sect had not reacted at all?
Something unusual must be amiss, so Aotian remained extremely worried.
Nevertheless, there was no mistake in leaving Sunset City as soon as possible, so Aotian did not delay and prepared to exit the city with Sun Jing and Niu Geng.
"Ha ha! Aotian, Niu Geng, Sun Jing! You three have come all this way to Sunset City; how can I, the lord of Sunset City, not treat you properly? If you just leave like this, wouldn't it show that I don't know how to host guests?"
Suddenly, a light laugh echoed through the air, carrying a chilling undertone.
Upon hearing this voice, Aotian's heart sank slightly as an ominous premonition surged within him.
It seemed that his movements had long been monitored by Azure Cloud Sect, and now they were beginning to seek retribution.
Suddenly, a figure appeared right in front of Aotian. This figure was a middle-aged man, lean with a sharp jawline, his lips carved like a knife. He wore a constant smile, but there was a sinister glint in his eyes.
This was a typical smiling tiger!
Seeing this middle-aged man, a thought flashed through Aotian's mind.
The middle-aged man chuckled lightly and said, "Aotian, Inner Academy Student of Xuantian Academy, ranked fourth in the Inner Courtyard Rankings, and the founder of the Starry Radiance Society at Xuantian Academy!"
Before Aotian could respond, the middle-aged man turned to Niu Geng and smiled, "Niu Geng, Inner Academy Student of Xuantian Academy, grew up in Xuantian Academy, and is now one of the elders of the Starry Radiance Society. He is also Aotian's right-hand man!"
Finally, the middle-aged man's gaze settled on Sun Jing as he said, "Sun Jing, from the Sun Family in the western region of Fengyun Nation, is the Grand Elder of the Sun Family and holds significant power within it!"
The middle-aged man clapped his hands and chuckled, "Incredible! You three are all prominent figures within Fengyun Nation. It truly makes this city lord admire you greatly!"
Upon hearing this, Aotian couldn't help but be taken aback. It seemed that the Azure Cloud Sect had thoroughly investigated everything he had done in the northern part of Fengyun Nation. They even uncovered much about his and Niu Geng's backgrounds.
"May I ask for your name, city lord?" Aotian asked solemnly as he looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man grinned and replied:
"I am the Lord of Sunset City, Never-Setting Sun!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Jing's expression turned grim as he whispered to Aotian, "Never-Setting Sun has a great reputation in the northern part of Fengyun Nation. Not only is he the Lord of Sunset City, but he is also one of the Vice Masters of Azure Cloud Sect, possessing strength at the Mid Human Spirit Realm."
Hearing Sun Jing's words, Aotian's heart sank. The mention of Mid Human Spirit Realm brought immense pressure upon him.
Moreover, they were in Sunset City, and as the Lord of Sunset City, Never-Setting Sun could mobilize all the protective forces within the city. Aotian was not arrogant enough to think that he and his two companions could contend against the entire Sunset City.
As Aotian expected, after Never-Setting Sun appeared, squads of soldiers began to gather towards them. Watching more and more Sunset City soldiers closing in around him, Aotian's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Ha ha, Never-Setting Sun, I hope I'm not late!"
Suddenly, a loud laugh echoed above Sunset City. Shortly after, a robust middle-aged man riding an Azure Cloud Eagle landed beside Never-Setting Sun.
Seeing this robust middle-aged man, Never-Setting Sun's smile grew even wider.
Never-Setting Sun pointed at the robust middle-aged man and "introduced" him to Aotian: "Aotian, let me introduce you to this man; he is also a Vice Master of Azure Cloud Sect, named Ruan Lin. Oh, by the way, Ruan Lin is also a warrior at the Mid Human Spirit Realm."
Upon hearing Never-Setting Sun's words, Aotian's expression darkened further.
Ruan Lin glanced disdainfully at Aotian and his companions and said, "Are these the three guys who repeatedly killed members of my Azure Cloud Sect? Damn it, let's see if I don't chop them up today!"
Never-Setting Sun smiled as he listened to Ruan Lin, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes when he looked at Aotian.
"I don't see anything special about these three useless ones!"
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in everyone's ears.
Then, a middle-aged man holding a large knife appeared before Never-Setting Sun like a ghost, his face stern as he stared at the three of Aotian.
Seeing the middle-aged man with the large knife, Never-Setting Sun's smile faded slightly, but he still "kindly" introduced him to Aotian:
"Aotian, this is also the Vice Master of the Azure Cloud Sect, named Dao Lengtian. As for his cultivation level, he is in the late stage of the Human Spirit Realm."
Upon hearing Never-Setting Sun's words, a sense of despair crept into Aotian's heart. With two warriors in the Mid Human Spirit Realm, one warrior in the late stage of the Human Spirit Realm, surrounded by dozens of Half-Step Human Spirit Realm warriors and hundreds of Innate Martial Artists eyeing them hungrily, how could they possibly fight in such an overwhelmingly mismatched battle?
At this moment, Aotian found himself trapped in the greatest crisis he had ever faced...
