141: Golden Ancient City Family, beat them up
Jiang Yi watched Nangong Yao, who was first gritting her teeth in anger, then suddenly smiling foolishly.
Though he didn’t know what she was thinking,
He could vaguely sense—
There was definitely a problem, either she was plotting something, or it was a mental issue.
But looking at her expression!
She probably wasn’t planning to leave and would continue to stick with him.
It seemed she wouldn’t give up until she achieved her goal.
This was also why he had been constantly procrastinating, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Only saying he needed to consider it.
Because he held leverage, and he had confidence.
She had a favor to ask of him and couldn’t leave him!
Both of them harbored certain thoughts; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they both had ulterior motives.
This was fine too!
He would consider it later, once he had resolved all his affairs and was ready to ascend to the Upper Realm.
He glanced around!
Everyone was long gone!
After the earlier battle, a few scattered Sword Masters still remained.
Now, they had all fled.
The entire Sword King Pavilion was empty, leaving behind only a mess.
However, in the Sword King City below!
There were still thousands of swordsmen, but unfortunately, they were not his enemies!
Even if he struck down with a palm, he couldn’t plunder Lifespan from them!
Even if there were some!
They were probably already terrified, so how could they harbor any hostility towards him?
Moreover!
He wasn’t a bloodthirsty person... well, at least he considered himself not to be.
With a wave of his hand!
He called over the Gnu, which was currently rooting around the medicinal fields, and flipped onto its back.
Nangong Yao, as he expected, showed no trace of embarrassment.
She also got on the Gnu!
With a long neigh, the Gnu’s four thick, pillar-like hooves stomped the ground.
A rumbling sound shook the entire majestic peak.
The Gnu, like a small mountain, transformed into a golden light and galloped down the mountain.
“Where to next?”
“...Are there any forces similar to the Sword King Pavilion? I’d like to pay them a visit!”
“Hehe!”
“Just as This Immortal Maiden thought!
How about we go to the Zhu Family? Their foundation is no less than the Sword King Pavilion’s.
They might even surpass it!”
“Alright!”
“Perfect, you can back me up!
Before, their clansmen dared to hunt me down; this time, This Immortal Maiden will fight back and smash their dog heads!”
“Hmph hmph!”
Nangong Yao stood up, waving her small fists, and said fiercely.
As if anticipating what was about to happen!
Her large eyes narrowed, like two crescent moons!
...A few days later!
In the far west of the land!
Since ancient times, it has been known as the Land of Gold.
Gold is abundant here!
In the barren mountains, beneath the earth, it is said that vast gold mines are buried.
But that—
Was thousands of years ago!
At the center of this hundred-thousand-li radius of land!
Stood a magnificent ancient city, entirely cast from gold—
Mingwang City.
And the Dominator of Mingwang City—the Zhu Family, known as the Immovable Mingwang Great Clan.
Their influence, looking across the entire world, was at the Dingtian level, with a profound foundation and formidable strength!
They ranked among the top three peak forces in the world, possessing a formidable reputation.
This clan excelled in Physical Body Cultivation!
They were practically indestructible!
According to rumors!
Their clan’s unique techniques were related to ancient immortals and gods; when Cultivated to the Major Achievement Realm,
One could forge an Immovable Mingwang Body!
Their entire body would be comparable to divine iron and precious gold!
Even the Sword King Pavilion, known for its Sword Dao Cultivation and sharp edge,
Would find this clan a headache.
If they were at the same Realm, they might not be able to break through their bodies or harm them in the slightest.
“A golden ancient city, how extravagant!”
Jiang Yi looked up at this magnificent ancient city, which shimmered brightly and dazzlingly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
He saw very clearly!
This wasn’t gilding, like melting gold into liquid and applying it.
Instead, it was genuinely!
From the inside out, it was real gold!
The manpower and resources expended to build this golden ancient city!
Were unimaginable.
It is said!
To build this ancient city, the Zhu Family had already exhausted all the gold mines in the far western region.
And with powerful martial force!
They expelled billions of people from this land to build this golden ancient city for their clan.
Turning what was once a prosperous and wealthy land into a sparsely populated one.
Recalling those years!
It must have been a scene of widespread lamentation, mountains of corpses, and utter desolation, too horrific to behold.
But what could that change?
This was, after all, a world where the strong preyed on the weak, and power belonged to oneself!
The strong were high above, enslaving the weak masses, which was considered perfectly normal.
Even resistance!
Was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or a mayfly shaking a tree; merely a futile struggle.
Do you not see that the Zhu Family still stands!
Enduring for thousands of years without decline, still immensely powerful, ranking among the top forces in the world!
Their strength and foundation remain robust!
The clan has many True Kings overseeing it, and also controls a passage leading to the Upper Realm.
“Hee-haw!”
The Gnu’s bulging eyes looked left and right, as if mesmerized.
Its pupils were filled with gold!
It kept panting heavily, snorting, and its hooves kept twitching.
It desperately wanted to tear down the city walls!
And put them in its sack!
It even had the thought of claiming this ancient city for itself.
It, the Golden Horned Great King, wanted to be the master here!
“Huh?!!!”
“Where did these outsiders come from, so ignorant of the rules? What audacity!”
“This is the ancestral land of my Mingwang Family!”
“Hurry and dismount!”
At the city gate!
Guards stood, all clad in golden armor.
The guard leader saw Jiang Yi and the two, and immediately stepped forward!
His eyes wide with rage, radiating Killing Intent!
Suddenly, he seemed to spot something, and sharply looked at Nangong Yao behind Jiang Yi.
Staring intently at her!
Clearly, he recognized her!
“It’s you, you little thief! You dare to come back, and you brought a helper!”
“Indeed!”
Nangong Yao stood up abruptly, her red dress fluttering in the wind, her black hair flying.
“This Immortal Maiden is back!”
Her small face was flushed, subtly revealing a hint of excitement!
With a flash of light, a Five-Colored Sword appeared in her hand.
As she swung her sword!
Five-colored light burst forth from the sword, manifesting a hundred-zhang sword glow.
Carrying streams of Sword Intent, it fiercely slashed down towards the golden ancient city’s gate!
“Tell your Clan Chief to come out and die!”
“This Immortal Maiden has returned for revenge!”
“Today, I will eliminate evil for the people, and seek justice for the billions of people of this far western land who were once enslaved by you!”
With a loud “boom”!
Although the magnificent ancient city gate was cast from hard gold, under that hundred-zhang Five-Colored Sword light!
It was no match!
With one sword strike!
The entire city gate was split in two from top to bottom, and countless golden fragments burst out, scattering in all directions.
