Chapter 1180 - 853: Is There a Misunderstanding?

Chapter 1180: Chapter 853: Is There a Misunderstanding?

"What’s going on?" Zheng Yichen looked at the Ancient Immortal Mountain in confusion. After being assigned here, although Dusk hadn’t updated his map, Tia still gave him a time frame.

Fifteen days.

Even though this time is short, it’s enough for Zheng Yichen.

The target is clear, it’s at the Ancient Immortal Mountain. Fifteen days suggest that the Boundary Breaker has stirred up something big. It would have been troublesome before, but now Zheng Yichen is different.

So fifteen days is actually quite long. He can use a few days to clear out the pests in this world, gather their life force, and use it as a resource to deal with the Boundary Breaker. Such tasks are routine for Zheng Yichen.

But at the moment, it doesn’t look like there’s fifteen days left...

The sky over the Ancient Immortal Mountain has cracked.

"Brother Chang Qing, should we go over?"

"No rush." Zheng Yichen took out his phone, checked the time; no substantial changes. He decided to trust Dusk.

Malicious erosion continued affecting the nearby environment. After reaching a certain level, the black Demonic Abyss Deluge knocked down this area’s city protection array formation, causing chain reactions that made the whole city protection array wobble.

At this moment, dozens of massive sword pillars came crashing over. As they were about to hit Zheng Yichen, his figure blurred for a moment, and the traces of Qi Xiangyun and the others disappeared as well.

The sword pillars missed and hit the distant plains. Zheng Yichen, emerging from spatial distortion, grinned at the explosion sites. Such attacks are like nuclear weapons.

From afar, the intense impact could clearly be felt.

Zheng Yichen didn’t doubt the power of those sword pillars; he knew that in a high environment, the ground seems more resistant to energy attacks.

For instance, an attack that can gouge out a ten-kilometer pit in a low environment might only cause a few hundred meters or less in a high environment.

It’s not that the ground becomes tougher, but the earth gains more resistance. This resistance doesn’t affect regular people; they can still till the soil and farm as usual, whether in high or low environments.

Only attacks exceeding a certain composition will fully reveal the environmental resistance; the explosive power of those sword pillars, Zheng Yichen estimated, could flatten Hazy City if just one hit!

Yet here came dozens of them at once, and it was just the beginning.

"Brother Chang Qing..." Liu Hongzhao looked a bit pale, moving with Zheng Yichen through spatial distortion. Although they were protected, the process still made them feel intense discomfort.

That kind of spatial distorted movement wasn’t instant shift but a large-scale twisting and folding of the environment, during which she felt her senses were severely distorted.

At that moment, she couldn’t even control her body, like a small girl caught in a tsunami.

"This thing is quite dangerous, don’t try to tough it out. Head into internal space first, I’ll release you guys once I’m in the Imperial Palace." Zheng Yichen saw the battle intent in Liu Hongzhao’s eyes and spoke immediately.

Liu Hongzhao nodded: "Sorry, this fight... I will definitely break through!"

Feeling once more the gap between her and Zheng Yichen, Liu Hongzhao felt uneasy. She had always wanted to help Zheng Yichen properly, but the level of battles Zheng Yichen was involved in was too high.

Not to mention Zheng Yichen, she used to think she was quite formidable in the Dusk mercenary circle until she arrived in this world and realized there were even stronger ones within the Dusk mercenaries.

To act locally they needed top-tier experts from the Dusk mercenaries to hold the fort, or else their operations in this world would surely be exceptionally difficult, possibly sparking unexpected failures.

"The True Immortals in this world are odd... No, I should say the True Immortals of the Unified Imperial Dynasty are odd. If I encounter them, I’ll leave one for you."

After saying that, Zheng Yichen turned his sight toward the Unified Dynasty Imperial City. Though knocked back by sword pillars, the damaged city protection array formation slowly recovered, but Zheng Yichen did not escape the environment.

The malicious erosion’s influence on the environment had not disappeared, thus the rebuilt city protection array formation was again breached by his fishing rod’s attack.

As subsequent sword pillars crashed, Zheng Yichen rushed straight in. Instantly, hundreds of suspected spiritual locking anchors were fixed on him.

Zheng Yichen flashed a grin, ignoring these locks, as the ambient environment severely distorted around him, his figure disappearing in an instant.

Dozens of cultivators coughed blood on the spot, then quickly focused on tracking Zheng Yichen, utilizing various tracking methods.

Moreover, as Zheng Yichen was within the Imperial City itself, they quickly re-locked onto Zheng Yichen’s figure, but locking on to him was futile as Zheng Yichen’s speed was simply too fast.

Even intercepting martial artists were knocked away upon contact, unable to withstand the spatial distortion generated by Zheng Yichen’s moves.

The spell’s impact on Zheng Yichen was negligible, and although the environment was directly sealed by cultivators, Zheng Yichen still broke through head-on.

The tracking methods only allowed them to watch as Zheng Yichen stormed the Imperial Palace directly!

"Can we only buy time!?" On the city wall of the palace, a few young men in armor were anxious; they were princes of the current dynasty, among hundreds of them.

The Unified Imperial Dynasty is currently very strong, and the competition among princes is intense. Enjoying the cultivation resources of the imperial family means they can’t just lie down; if they want to lie down, they shouldn’t be princes.

So when there’s an invasion by external enemies, they truly can’t hide far behind.

The problem is, this invading enemy isn’t human, distorting space as he moves, and some suppression formations within the Imperial City can’t hold him down.

Many areas he passed through were equipped with suppression formations. As the Imperial City of the Unified Dynasty, this place was fortified tightly. If someone really invaded, it would be difficult to even approach the palace, let alone break through the outer city.

To take down the Imperial City, it isn’t something a million-strong army can achieve. If an ordinary million-strong army came, a few sword pillars could solve it; even if the enemy are all cultivators, just send more sword pillars.

To truly conquer the city, only high-level forces would work. Half-immortal, half-demon beings better not think about it, unless they could gather a hundred thousand troops or something.

It would need True Immortals to be effective, and the number of True Immortals attacking the city cannot be fewer than twenty.

This is assuming that there are no True Immortals guarding inside the city; if there are True Immortals guarding, without thirty True Immortals one can’t hope to take the city.

But now a single person has barged in?

Even more troublesome is that the opponent first eliminated seven True Immortals of the dynasty before barging in.

Now, there are only two True Immortals left in the city openly, and whether there are any hidden is not something these princes and grandsons can know; that depends on how the current Holy Emperor Li Changsheng arranges it.

"Teacher, is the Outer Domain Sky Demon really that terrifying?" asked a prince, pressing down the tremor in his heart as he looked at Zheng Yichen, who couldn’t be stopped, and inquired of an elder beside him.

"Prepare to negotiate." The elder gently shook his head and said no more; what else could be said? The opponent eliminated seven True Immortals, handling them simultaneously, showing hard strength!

It’s useless to say more; the key is to find a way to intercept the opponent now.

Even worse is the issue with Ancient Immortal Mountain; after anomalies appeared in the sky there, communications were cut off, which is the most unsettling part.

"But they don’t seem like they want to talk," said the prince, exhaling as he watched Zheng Yichen approach, gripping his weapon tightly.

Being able to maintain his place in the fierce struggles within the imperial family, he is not lacking in courage. Of course, he would also proactively talk with the opponent if they could have a proper conversation.

Having courage is one thing, but being brainless and acting rashly is another. At the very least, he has no ability to eliminate seven True Immortals at once, nor can he ignore the lock of the sword pillar or the suppression of the mountain array to rush to the front of the palace.

The fist, carrying spatial distortion, struck the Great Protective Array Formation of the palace, causing ripples throughout, making the defending soldiers panic.

Watching the figure that halted, eyes filled with Black Light, a strong sense of unease began to spread.

Some cultivators sensed the environment filled with demonic thoughts and attempted purification spells, but it was ineffective; instead, some cultivators suffered additional effects due to actively contacting these demonic thoughts.

"Please wait, surely there are many misunderstandings between us!" A government official in civilian attire stepped forward, shouting across the Great Protective Array Formation as he watched Zheng Yichen come to a halt.

Zheng Yichen can cause the Great Protective Array Formation to tremble with a single punch... imagine if he used a weapon...

"Misunderstanding? There’s no misunderstanding, you knew about the Dusk mercenaries from the beginning and still partnered with the Boundary Breaker for your own interests; what misunderstanding is there? Or is your Holy Emperor manipulated brainwashed by the Boundary Breaker?"

Stopping, Zheng Yichen expressed no emotion to the negotiating official, his demonic thoughts accompanied by Black Light spreading outward, directly affecting the nearby troops.

He could employ more Essence of Life, or use Oath Power to break this Great Protective Array Formation, but both Essence of Life and Oath Power are strategic reserves meant for Ancient Immortal Mountain.

Might as well utilize local resources, directly use demonic thoughts and Black Light to influence nearby people and make them provide him with a massive amount of demonic thoughts...

"That’s where the misunderstanding lies. The Holy Emperor knows of the existence of Dusk mercenaries and Boundary Breakers, and realizes the threat posed by the Great World behind Boundary Breakers, hence the numerous strategies,"

Seeing Zheng Yichen willing to listen instead of attacking immediately, the official felt slightly relieved and quickly explained the prepared statement.

It’s not fearful if Zheng Yichen listens to the explanation; it’s fearful if he doesn’t listen to anything and fights all the way.

Problems have already arisen on the Ancient Immortal Mountain side; they must find a way to stabilize the situation here...
