"Underworld City!"
Now in the city of Nanhua, Wang Long certainly did not dare to fully unleash Eighteen Layers of Yellow Springs Hell. Otherwise, even if he did not attract the attention of experts, it would still raise suspicions about himself and provoke envy.
Wang Long fully understood the principle that a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure can lead to trouble.
The Underworld City was a "sub-treasure" that Wang Long had created by attracting a large amount of Primordial Power from the Bronze City, which is part of Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs. Although it belonged to Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs, it could also be used independently!
The massive Bronze City suddenly rose up, blocking the assassin's attack head-on. Countless Soul of the Ghostly Fury flew out from it, darkening the sky. Although the assassin's attacks were swift and fierce, they were entangled by these wailing souls, their cries piercing his heart.
This Spirit of Wailing Ghosts could not harm him, but it affected his momentum. Moreover, as the Bronze City continued to grow larger, it completely sealed off his attack route. If he did not have the confidence to slice through the Bronze City, he could only find another way to strike.
This delay allowed Wang Long and Yu Bing to prepare thoroughly.
"Ghost Ninja Technique!" The assassin knew that such an opportunity would be hard to come by again, but their ninja techniques prioritized self-preservation. Ultimately, he spun around and moved beneath the Bronze City, swinging his blade to attack again. At this moment, his figure suddenly accelerated, transforming from one into ten, creating an illusion that made it difficult for Wang Long and Yu Bing to discern reality from illusion.
"Lord Wang Long, I leave the young master to you!" At that moment, Yu Bing suddenly stepped forward, wielding a massive Slayer's Blade, sending chills through the air.
Wang Long was taken aback as he saw Yu Bing swing her sword horizontally, completely disregarding the assassin's formidable strength. Countless ice crystals flew from the blade, enveloping all ten indistinguishable figures!
Now even if all ten of his clones were real, they could not escape this attack.
However, the price paid was that he had completely lost his defensive power. Suddenly splitting off a clone with his right hand, the Invisible Shadow Blade finally emerged from the void, unleashing a wave of Blade Light that swept away all those ice crystals. The momentum did not diminish as it flew towards Yu Bing!
"Titan of Heavenly Stone!” Wang Long knew there could be no hesitation; otherwise, Yu Bing, who was at the forefront, would be in grave danger. He suddenly unleashed his power, forming two Stone Giants from two streams of Spirit infused with Primordial Power, towering behind the assassin. They raised their enormous stone fists and slammed down towards him!
A flicker of hesitation crossed the assassin's eyes. Although this strike might not kill him, it would certainly injure him and leave him in a dire situation. At that moment, whether he could escape from Wang Long, who was already poised to strike, was uncertain!
The assassin had no choice but to twist his body to evade the two giant stone fists, swinging his blade directly at Yu Yaoran who was behind him.
Boom!
The powerful Spiritual Essence shockwave scattered, causing the nearby ordinary Household Guards to struggle to maintain their footing. Fortunately, they had survived the terrifying onslaught of this ruthless figure.
"Chase him! We cannot let this person escape from Nanhua City today!" Looking at the fearsome assassin who was almost disappearing into the horizon, Yu Yaoran's face turned ashen. He never expected that this time he would provoke the master of the Ninja Four Spirit Gods to take action personally. Thanks to Wang Long holding the situation together and Yu Bing assisting, if either of these two experts had been absent today, he feared he wouldn't see tomorrow's sun!
"Please think carefully, Young Master." Only Wang Long, with his status, could advise the furious Yu Yaoran. "The opponent has not been injured by us; he simply retreated upon realizing the situation was unfavorable. If we send ordinary warriors to pursue him, they would be no match for him and would only be defeated and humiliated. However, if we send our top experts, then your safety, Young Master..."
"Uh," Yu Yaoran paused upon hearing this. After experiencing such a grave danger, he would never allow Wang Long and Yu Bing to leave his side again. Yet on the other hand, Wang Long was right; pursuing such a formidable expert would be risky. Not only were the other Household Guards no match for him, but even if he himself went after the assassin, they already knew his identity and would hardly dare to pursue him seriously—at most, it would just be a show.
"What should we do then? Are we just going to watch him slip away? With his strength, if he comes back to ambush me next time, there may not be a chance for Lord Wang Long to protect me!"
"Don't worry; I believe that Lord of the City will not sit idly by in this matter." Wang Long said confidently. "Young Master, think about it: why did the master of the Ninja Four Spirit Gods appear so conveniently in Nanhua City? We killed his disciple just a few days ago, and news has barely spread within Nanhua City. Therefore, I suspect he did not come specifically for this incident but has another purpose related to Lu Feng, the City Lord suddenly summoning all forces and advisors for a meeting. So you must hurry to the City Lord's Mansion and not let Yucheng get ahead."
"That makes sense," Yu Yaoran, being a rational person, finally nodded silently. "Continue advancing towards the City Lord's Mansion."
News of Yu Yaoran's ambush spread rapidly. By the time Wang Long and his group arrived at the Nanhua City Lord's Mansion, several prominent figures had already received word of the incident!
Two leaders from forces closely aligned with the Yu Family, whom Wang Long had seen before, stood outside the mansion with concerned expressions as they watched them approach.
"Young nephew, are you alright? We just heard you were attacked on your way here by someone formidable; we were truly worried about your safety!"
"Don't worry, uncles." A cold smile crossed Yu Yaoran's mind. Since they were so concerned about him now, he hadn't seen them send anyone along the way to check on his safety. They were clearly just two fence-sitters. However, he didn't take it too seriously; after all, they were allies of the Yu Family, not his personal allies—there was a significant difference. "It was merely a false alarm; fortunately, my Yu Family is strong enough that those petty criminals could not succeed."
Taking this opportunity, Yu Yaoran still wanted to create some momentum for himself.
The two Old Men exchanged glances and stepped closer, whispering, "Nephew, we heard that the one who came to ambush you this time is actually the master of the Ninja Four Spirit Gods! Is this true? Please tell us the truth. Are you injured? You mustn't hold back!"
"Uncles, there's no need to worry. Let's first pay our respects to the Lord of the City," Yu Yaoran said. He knew that the more he explained, the less they would believe him, so he simply put on a relaxed demeanor and walked calmly toward the gate of the city lord's mansion without offering any explanation.
"Wait a moment, dear nephew." The two caught up again, but this time they had no doubts about Yu Yaoran's situation. Instead, they seemed a bit hesitant as they said, "Well, there has been a small incident in the city lord's mansion. You should prepare yourself mentally before you go in."
"Oh? What happened?"
"Well, it's about Yucheng..."
"What!" Without needing them to finish, Wang Long and Yu Yaoran already understood what had happened here. Yu Yaoran looked at Wang Long with a grim expression, and Wang Long nodded at him. Yu Yaoran angrily said, "Thank you both for informing me of this matter. I want to ask, after receiving news from the city lord's mansion, I immediately rushed here. Didn't Yucheng go hunting outside the city? How could he arrive before me? How long has he been here?"
"It hasn't been long—he arrived barely half a stick of incense before you did, and he didn't bring many people with him; he came lightly equipped."
"I see!" Yu Yaoran snorted coldly, feeling more certain now. He strode toward the city lord's mansion with an imposing presence.
