139: I, Wang Teng, told you to get out!

Outside Black Ridge City, the figure with a devilish face floated in the air.

Although he had not yet achieved Dao Foundation, he was only one step away.

Thus, he could float in the air.

His eyes were lowered as he looked at the somewhat desolate but nascent Black Ridge City before him, his face serene.

"Is this... Black Ridge City?"

He slightly raised his hand, and a great cloud of dust rose from nowhere.

As it billowed, it formed a ferocious face, tearing towards Black Ridge City!

Since it was night, many common people did not witness this disaster-like scene.

Only the Yuting Guard stationed on the outer city wall saw this situation, but they forcefully suppressed the fear in their hearts!

Feeling the impending disaster and the instinctive dread of a martial artist, Ruo Liuli gritted her teeth and said,

"Hold fast! As long as this person shows signs of a Breakthrough, even if it means sacrificing lives, he is not allowed to step a Half-Step into Black Ridge City before we die!"

"Yes!"

The autumn wind was pleasant. In silent tranquility, a massive dust storm slammed into them, only to be met by a gentle light that shot up into the sky.

The autumn season of the Four Seasons Cycle Formation transformed into giant withered yellow fallen leaves, and the endless leaves neutralized the incoming dust.

Then they vanished into nothingness.

However, this greatly accelerated the Four Seasons Cycle Formation's rate of absorbing Spiritual Qi from the Spiritual Vein.

It was at this moment that countless Cultivators awoke from their dreams.

They were extremely sensitive to their surroundings; Black Ridge City's Spiritual Qi was not originally abundant, and with the Formation absorbing it like this, it quickly became much drier.

Therefore, everyone woke up and instinctively sensed something... then came to the outer city wall!

They looked with horror at the Half-Step Dao Foundation floating in the air.

They swallowed hard.

"A Half-Step Dao Foundation?"

"It seems he comes with ill intentions, what's going on?"

"Where is the City Lord now??"

Then... the Half-Step Dao Foundation floated in the air, his voice somber, carrying a calm confidence born of great self-assurance.

"Today, I have come here not to slaughter the city's common people or Cultivators.

Someone took something from Yanmo Mountain that should not have been taken. I am here to reclaim it.

The instigator of the Yanmo Mountain incident will not escape, but the others can preserve their lives.

I will only give you one incense stick's time to consider. After one incense stick, you will bear the consequences.

Before sunrise tomorrow, not a single chicken or dog will remain alive here!"

A coldness, bone-deep, assailed them.

The eyes of everyone present were filled with confusion; they had no idea about any 'things that should not have been taken,' but soon... they figured out something.

Could this matter be related to their City Lord?

Their City Lord... actually had the guts to raid the lair of this Half-Step Dao Foundation?

Such audacity?

Then, Shen Li's figure slowly walked onto the city wall, looking straight ahead, his expression normal.

"May I ask, Senior, what is meant by 'things that should not have been taken'?"

The Half-Step Dao Foundation turned his gaze, a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"It seems... you are the instigator.

Scheming and harming my Yanmo Mountain.

Forget it, saying all this is meaningless. Hand over what belongs to my Yanmo Mountain, and I will leave your corpse intact and allow your Soul to reincarnate."

Shen Li smiled faintly and repeated,

"It seems I should thank Senior then? Thank Senior for sending me to be reborn?"

"I wonder if I will have a good future in my next life..."

"By your words, you don't intend to hand it over?"

"Junior... some things are not yours...."

Shen Li, however, couldn't be bothered with pleasantries and took out a long wooden box.

His expression was normal, but his heart was uneasy.

He took a deep breath and interrupted,

"Senior... don't speak such nonsense.

You are clearly a Cultivator of the Yin Nether Sect, naturally irreconcilable with my Qingchi Mountain. I took a treasure from Yanmo Mountain, and you would still leave my corpse intact? Do you take me for a fool?

To be honest, I took the item, and I consumed it. The taste was quite good, Senior. You won't get it.

As for dying... I don't want to die either. Senior, please go back to where you came from."

"Junior..." The Half-Step Dao Foundation's face showed anger, and he raised his hand, stirring up whirlwinds that surged towards Black Ridge City!

Shen Li slowly opened the box and said loudly,

"However, how could there be no return gift for taking a gift from Yanmo Mountain... Senior, I'll give you a treasure, do you want it?"

"Die!"

The wooden box slowly opened, and a earth-shattering Killing Intent suddenly burst forth.

The buzzing Sword Qi was like a Dragon's roar, instantly draining Shen Li's entire body of Spiritual Qi, and infinite blood-colored Sword Qi churned within a ten-mile radius, bringing bone-chilling cold.

It mercilessly shredded the whirlwinds!

Seeing this, the Half-Step Dao Foundation's face suddenly changed, and he retreated rapidly.

But the invisible sword light was faster, cutting off layers of cloth from his body!

"An Immortal Master Magical Artifact! How dare you!"

"And it's the Heavenly Innocence Perfected Person's famous Magical Artifact! Boy, what is your relationship with the Wang family that you could obtain such a supreme treasure?"

"Little beast! You'd better not leave your home, you'd better keep that Immortal Master Magical Artifact in your hand at all times, otherwise, I will slaughter your entire city sooner or later!

The matter is far from over!

I will be back!"

The unruly 'Wuxie' constantly weaved through the air, as if venting the long-held dissatisfaction stored within the wooden box.

After a long while, it slowly fell back into the wooden box, which closed again.

Shen Li's body felt light, as if he had been completely drained.

He leaned against the city wall, covered in cold sweat.

"This Immortal Master Magical Artifact... is it that powerful?"

"It actually forced back a Half-Step Dao Foundation like this?"

Qiu Ya helped Shen Li slowly walk down the city wall. Shen Li gradually recovered, taking a deep breath.

Looking at the incredulous gazes before him, he shook his head and said,

"Let's talk about it back at the mansion!"

Meanwhile, the Half-Step Dao Foundation sprinted a hundred li away before finally stopping.

His mind was filled with that sword light, and that blood-colored figure that had existed in his mind for a long time.

Logically, a dignified Half-Step Dao Foundation should never retreat due to a Qi Refining junior holding an Immortal Master Magical Artifact.

It was simply because the origin of this Magical Artifact was too extraordinary.

When he was in Qi Refining, the Yin Nether Sect had not yet been destroyed.

It was this blood-colored figure, holding this Magical Artifact, who caused the Yin Nether Sect to be in constant turmoil.

Heavenly Innocence Perfected Person....

He cursed to himself,

"The Magical Artifact is here, and the aura is here... If I act rashly, will someone come to suppress and kill me?"

"No, I can't do that! I've only just managed to Break through to Half-Step Dao Foundation, dying like this would be too regrettable!"

"I must wait! If that junior from Black Ridge City dares to come out, I'll kill one if there's one, and two if there are two!"

His eyes were filled with venom, as if he hadn't been scared like a stray dog earlier.

Then, a Magical Boat arrived in the air. He was about to vent his anger and fly away!

The Magical Boat, which had been flying smoothly in mid-air, suddenly stopped!

Then, the character 'Wang' on the Magical Boat, fluttering in the wind, was revealed!

His heart was screaming with alarm.

"How is this possible! So fast? What is the background of Black Ridge City? Someone arrived in just a few incense sticks' time?"

"This person's aura... why is it so weak? It must be a trick!!!"

Then, Wang Teng leaned on the edge of the Magical Boat, completely weak from vomiting.

But to the Half-Step Dao Foundation, he seemed to possess the demeanor of a Grandmaster, unperturbed even when a mountain collapses before him.

And Wang Teng seemed to have just noticed him, looking over.

He opened his mouth and said,

"What are you looking at, you idiot?"

"You like blocking the way? Do you want me to crash into you and kill you?"

"Still looking? Get lost... I don't have time... ugh."

Hearing such domineering words and sensing the fleeting Immortal Master aura in the air,

the Half-Step Dao Foundation's fear immediately magnified. He thought it was a certain Immortal Master lurking nearby, and without a word, he fled into the distance!

Fleeing in panic...

And Wang Teng, seeing this... said in belated confusion,

"Huh?"

"When did my words become so impressive?"

"I told him to get lost, and he actually got lost?"
