"Kill your way to Eastern Immortal City."
When these words came from Zuo Dao's mouth, everyone present was stunned. Regardless of what Eastern Immortal City was like, the fastest route from Fengming Town to Eastern Immortal City would take at least a month and a half, even with top-tier transportation tools and an unobstructed Teleportation Array. More importantly, the journey required passing through Wanhua City, which was currently under the control of the Dark Realm. Taking a detour would take nearly seven times longer.
"Daozi, but you..." Zhao Yanwu immediately thought of a concern upon hearing Zuo Dao's declaration. Zuo Dao had not yet undergone baptism; if he fought his way through, the burden on him would only increase.
Zuo Dao waved his hand to stop Zhao Yanwu from continuing. "This is the only way to resolve this matter in the shortest time possible."
No one understood why he thought this way. Zhao Yanwu also realized that it wasn't the right time to bring up his concerns. He silently handed Zuo Dao a map and then obediently stood aside.
Zuo Dao casually took the map from Zhao Yanwu and, upon looking at it, finally understood Zhao Yanwu's intentions. He sheepishly scratched his head.
"Oh, so it takes this long!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yanwu gave Zuo Dao a big eye roll and said with a hint of exasperation, "I don't know what's going on in your head. This is your plan; you figure it out."
"This was my oversight; how could I forget about this issue?" From Fengming Town to Eastern Immortal City, there were numerous twists and turns that required passing through dozens of Teleportations, and many towns didn't even have interconnected Teleportation Arrays.
Although Zhao Yanwu had already marked the shortest route when he handed over the map, Zuo Dao knew that after two more stops at most, his identity would be exposed.
"Let's head to Liu Yue City first." Zuo Dao had no other choice; without resolving the identity issue, he couldn't act freely in the Celestial Realm.
As everyone was conversing, a figure emerged from the faintly shimmering Blood Sea.
"Subordinate Chen Yang pays his respects to the Young Master, and thanks you for your support." Even before he arrived, his voice echoed, and soon a figure in a white robe was kneeling before Zuo Dao.
"Get up. I don't appreciate this kind of formality. Everything you've achieved is due to your own efforts. If you hadn't made it out, I would have eliminated you myself."
Zuo Dao felt genuinely pleased that Chen Yang had indeed lived up to expectations, having cultivated his own "Blood Moon Current." Another powerful ally had joined him!
Chen Yang stood up without a word and silently moved to stand behind Zuo Dao, completely ignoring the latter's final remark.
Xian Lan and the others could see that Chen Yang was brimming with blood energy, his aura steady. His realm had reached the peak of Celestial Sovereign, just one step away from becoming a king. Yet, this formidable individual willingly chose to be Zuo Dao's subordinate.
"Let's go; I'm in a hurry." Zuo Dao retracted the Airship and stepped into the town without even glancing back.
Seeing an opportunity, Xing Kong and Xing E launched their attack on Zhao Yanwu the moment their restraints vanished, moving so swiftly that even Xian Lan couldn't intervene in time.
At that moment, Yan Sui Fa had been on guard against these individuals. However, both Kong and E were elite assassins; their speed was such that even if he noticed their movements immediately, he wouldn't have been able to save Zhao Yanwu in time.
Just as Zhao Yanwu was about to perish under their combined assault, Chen Yang, standing behind Zuo Dao, took action.
He drew two short swords in one swift motion, intercepting the two attacks. The speed of his response shocked both Xing Kong and Xing E.
They had been poised for action, waiting for the right moment to strike as soon as the Airship's restrictions were lifted. They had calculated not only the timing but also Zuo Dao's position. They never expected that Chen Yang, who had just advanced in rank, could simultaneously counter their combined attack.
"Kill him." A cold voice came from ahead. Zuo Dao had long been aware of their intentions but chose not to reveal it. He wanted to recruit Xian Lan and thus refrained from attacking the two.
This incident provided him with the perfect excuse.
Chen Yang wasted no time and unleashed his Dual Swords, sending forth two beams of blood-red sword light towards Kong and E.
Both were at the Celestial Sovereign Realm. Although their realm was not as high as Chen Yang's, it was still formidable. Their mid-stage celestial power could barely contend with the peak of Chen Yang's strength.
However, Chen Yang did not give them a chance. He struck with a Deadly Strike. The sword light moved like a serpent, intercepting just as their sword tips were about to reach Zhao Yanwu's back, while simultaneously launching an attack against them.
From the very first move, he went all out without holding back. The energy unleashed by his Dual Swords even created a sizzling sound in the air.
With one strike, Xing Kong and Xing E felt as if they had been struck by lightning; blood uncontrollably surged from their bodies. They were terrified, unable to comprehend how Chen Yang, who had just advanced in realm, could be so stable and possess such powerful and bizarre attack strength.
"My sword is named Blood Domain. Within the range of my Dual Swords' attack, all blood and life are under my control," Chen Yang's voice finally reached their ears.
But they had no time for regret. A sharp pain radiated from their limbs, marking the path where Chen Yang's Dual Swords had passed.
Two Nascent Souls burst forth from their bodies but were immediately enveloped by a layer of Blood Mist. There was no struggle, no cries; they simply vanished within the Blood Mist. At that moment, Chen Yang appeared invigorated, a flush of crimson crossing his face.
"Do this less in the future; I'll let it slide this time. If they weren't such heinous individuals, killing them would suffice without needing to devour their Nascent Souls," Zuo Dao remarked without turning around, as if he already knew their fate.
"Yes, young master." The lingering pleasure within Chen Yang had not yet faded when he heard Zuo Dao's words. A chill ran down his spine, and he quickly replied.
"Is his Cultivation Method something you taught him?" Xian Lan was not surprised by what had just transpired. He had already understood the thoughts of Xing Kong and Xing E long ago.
"I hope this is the last time. Don't test my limits again. If you're coming, then come; if not, you can leave now." Zuo Dao did not answer Xian Lan's question but instead threw out that remark before diving straight into the Teleportation Array. Zhao Yanwu and the other six quickly followed suit.
Xian Lan stared blankly at Zuo Dao's retreating figure, wondering what kind of background this young Cultivator had. He had witnessed Chen Yang's earlier state; if he still couldn't see the terrifying nature of Chen Yang's Cultivation Method now, then he was truly blind.
He glanced again at the bodies of Xing Kong and Xing E, which had been reduced to mere husks. Just moments ago, they had been vibrant lives, and in the blink of an eye, they had turned into lifeless shells, their essence completely drained. Even as a member of the Golden Punishment, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
The Teleportation Array had been fully repaired by Zhao Yanwu, but Zuo Dao still sensed a significant threat within it.
Stopping in front of the Teleportation Array, as if anticipating that Xian Lan would follow him, he asked, "Did any of your people tamper with the array?"
It was only after the Teleportation Array was fixed that Zuo Dao regained his senses. Xian Lan responded for this reason. "This Teleportation Array was damaged by Xing Yun. It was just repaired by the Array Fairy before you woke up."
"That's not what I meant. Just by looking at this Teleportation Array, it's clear it was just fixed. What I want to know is whether you arranged for an Array Master to set up a 'Chaos' formation within the Teleportation Array." If it weren't for his considerable knowledge of formations, he wouldn't have noticed any tampering at all. The thought made Zuo Dao feel a bit uneasy.
Xian Lan immediately understood what was going on.
"I don't know about that. If there is one, it should have been done by them." Although he shifted the blame onto two dead individuals, Xian Lan felt no shame because he genuinely didn't know.
"Mm." Zuo Dao nodded in response to his words and said nothing more.
When the group appeared in Liu Yue City’s Teleportation Array, Zhao Yanwu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief; they had finally arrived.
Thinking back on these experiences, she could hardly believe she was still alive, and Zuo Dao’s performance repeatedly shocked her soul. Yan Sui Fa had become numb. The three surviving team members regarded Zuo Dao with almost divine reverence.
Of course, in their eyes, Chen Yang had become the number one danger; they would rather face the Immortal King than confront his Dual Swords.
After leaving Fengming Town, the remaining time was entirely dominated by Chen Yang’s actions. Yan Sui Fa and the others had become mere decorations, with no opportunity to act as their opponents fell beneath Chen Yang’s sword.
Meanwhile, Xian Lan had also joined Zuo Dao’s team. When he learned that Zuo Dao had just "smuggled" himself into the Celestial Realm, every hair on his body stood on end, and he realized their purpose for coming to Liu Yue City.
To think that someone could display such a Monster level of prowess without even gaining recognition in the Celestial Realm was unimaginable. He could not fathom what kind of being Zuo Dao would become after undergoing baptism.
For the first time, he felt fortunate and proud of his choice. Perhaps he could exchange this One Hundred Years of freedom for a lifetime of legend.
Upon arriving at Liu Yue City, the entire team became more restrained. They noticed that the atmosphere in Liu Yue City was quite strange.
The Teleportation Array was surprisingly devoid of any guards, while the streets were filled with hurried pedestrians.
Zuo Dao could tell that at least a third of these people knew each other, yet not a single one exchanged greetings. All of them seemed to be heading toward the city gates.
"It seems something has happened here!" Zuo Dao couldn’t help but shake his head.
At that moment, Yan Sui Fa suddenly stepped forward and stopped a passing Cultivator.
"Stop."
The Cultivator hurriedly left Liu Yue City, but was suddenly stopped by someone. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he noticed a token appearing before him. Upon closer inspection, he couldn't help but shudder and quickly bowed.
"Greetings, Dark Lord."
"What’s going on? Since when has the City Guard become so cautious, even going incognito?" Yan Sui Fa looked coldly at the Cultivator before him.
"My lord, forgive me. I didn't want this either, but the Lord of the City was murdered, and the Dark Realm has issued a decree that if there are any living souls in the city by sunset, none shall be spared," the Cultivator replied bitterly.
"Forget it. Let him take us to the City Lord's residence," Zuo Dao said, not wanting Yan Sui Fa to make things too difficult for the City Guard.
However, Zhao Yanwu furrowed his brows beside them.
"Daozi, it seems we are in trouble this time. The Celestial Pool Baptism requires a decree from the City Lord to proceed, and now that the City Lord is dead, you won't be able to complete the baptism without it."
Zhao Yanwu's voice was not loud, but everyone present heard him clearly.
"Never mind. Let's go to the City Lord's residence first," Zuo Dao said without overthinking it; at this point, they could only take one step at a time.
"Gentlemen, perhaps I can be of assistance," the City Guard who had been stopped by Yan Sui Fa suddenly spoke up.
