909: Demon Palace Plan, Ye Tian disrupts the situation

Noon.

The Sun radiated unfriendly heat waves, washing over the vast land.

On a barren and dry gravel land, stood a huge City.

Looking down from above, one could see.

This massive City structure was actually a huge mountain range that had been hollowed out!

Jiangshan City.

This was a Big City belonging to the border area between Linshan Country and the Outer Domain.

Because of the great distance from the Linshan Country Royal Family, coupled with years of infiltration by Outer Domain forces.

This City had always been in a state of order turmoil.

Fortunately, the City Lord here was a top Grand Sage Master level expert, and with this expert in charge, the order of Jiangshan City was still relatively stable.

But that was all.

In the dark side of this City, lurked countless Outer Domain people with ulterior motives!

...

Due to the special structure of Jiangshan City.

The entire giant City was a three-dimensional City built upon the mountain body.

Each layer was a region.

Looking up from below, this hollowed-out mountain range had over fifty layers!

Each layer was nearly twenty meters high!

This did not include the underground areas...

At this moment.

In a guest room of an inn on the first floor, a group of people gathered, dressed in black, exuding a dark aura, and who clearly did not look like good people.

"The spies from Shield City of Linshan Country have sent news that they found the little guy who escaped from the Eternal Night Kingdom Royal Family," a White-Haired Old Man with pupils as small as pinholes said hoarsely among the crowd.

And he was also the person in charge of this group.

"That lucky guy who escaped from the Eternal Night Kingdom Royal Family?" A mocking voice appeared beside the Old Man: "This is truly exciting news, no wonder Feng Executive you gathered us together."

"Is the news accurate? There hasn't been any information for so many years, and now they found that kid without any warning, could there be any problems?" Another voice said with some caution.

"If it wasn't accurate, would our people send the news?" The White-Haired Old Man, who was called Feng Executive, added: "I also informed the higher-ups of our Demon Hall about this news not long ago."

"The Great Demon Envoy requires us to do everything possible to eliminate this hidden danger!"

After saying that, Feng Executive added: "Of course, this matter must be done decisively and ruthlessly, and it must be a fatal blow! We cannot give that guy another chance to escape!"

"Even the Great Demon Envoy has spoken?" In the guest room, the faces of the experts, whose aura fluctuations were at least at the Six-Star Soul Card Master level, were moved.

Just from this point, one could see the importance of their current mission!

"Then do we need to infiltrate Shield City to act?" One person in the crowd asked contemplatively.

Shield City was full of people from the Divine Hall and Linshan Country, and acting there would be extremely risky.

But even with the risk, they were willing to try.

"Hehe, no need to take such a risk." Feng Executive smiled sinisterly and waved his hand: "Our target, in the coming period, will be moving towards our Outer Domain on his own!"

"What? That little guy will come to the Outer Domain himself?" The person whose aura was second only to Feng Executive's did not expect such a situation: "Doesn't that mean that as long as we wait here, the target will walk right into our trap?"

"Is he really not afraid of being targeted by us?"

"Hahaha, maybe that kid thinks that after so many years, our Demon Hall has forgotten about him." A big man on the other side laughed heartily.

"Alright, restrain yourselves." The White-Haired Old Man with wrinkled and withered skin brought the topic back: "That surviving kid from the Eternal Night Kingdom must still be vigilant."

"He has been using the fake name Wen Xiucheng for so many years, and this shows it. If it weren't for the fact that his Martial Soul is a Dragon, our spies really wouldn't have discovered his true identity."

"So, when that kid comes to the Outer Domain this time, he will definitely be wary of our Demon Hall people."

"If we really just wait here foolishly, it's highly likely that the other party will slip away."

"Therefore, we need an extra layer of insurance."

"Insurance?" The strong man next to him emphasized the word with a questioning tone.

"That's right." Feng Executive's snake-like eyes showed a cold light: "We also need a group of people to bring that kid here to us!"

"Bring him over? How to bring him?"

"Hehehehe." The Old man chuckled strangely: "Do you know how our spies hidden in Shield City discovered that kid?"

"It's because that kid released news looking for a caravan to the Outer Domain!"

"He is currently recruiting a caravan! We can completely let a group of people impersonate a caravan and bring him all the way to us!"

"Doing this avoids the risk of acting in Shield City and also allows us to have more people to deploy, which is completely sufficient to completely eliminate that kid!"

"Jie jie jie, wonderful, wonderful!" The surrounding voices became much livelier.

This was simply a godsend Opportunity.

They did not know the significance of killing Wen Xiucheng.

But they understood that this was a matter that even the Great Demon Envoy attached great importance to!

Therefore, there must be no mistakes!

...

Jiangshan City, upper levels.

This was the area where the highest-ranking individuals in the City, such as Army officials, resided.

Standing on the platform overlooking the yellow sand land below, a tall White-Haired Old Man with a straight figure frowned and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.

"City Lord, the Imperial Family's transfer order has arrived!"

The door of the palace behind him opened, and his subordinate respectfully presented a scroll.

Turning his head, the White-Haired Old Man said nothing, reaching out to signal the other party to bring the item over.

This was a piece of information conveyed by the Linshan Country Royal Family.

The scroll was a transfer order.

'Lord Jiangshan has guarded the frontier for many years and managed Jiangshan City for over ten years, during which no major accidents have occurred. His ability and loyalty are a model for all officials of Linshan Country!'

'Also, because Lord Jiangshan suppressed the scoundrels and gained many years of peace for the frontier of Linshan Country, his merits are numerous.'

'Therefore, I, the Emperor, appoint Lord Jiangshan as the General who listens to decrees! No one except I, the Emperor, has the right to command Lord Jiangshan.'

'I, the Emperor, will send my trusted subordinates to receive my beloved official at that time. Within half a month, please return to the Imperial City as soon as possible to take office!''

The content in the scroll was very simple.

And it was filled with a festive tone everywhere.

After all, judging from the literal meaning, this was a imperial decree of promotion after finally making it!

Only.

After reading these, the face of the City Lord of Jiangshan City turned as black as charcoal!

"Hmph! After being well-behaved for more than ten years, you choose to transfer me to the Imperial City at this time, isn't it just because you are afraid that I will swallow the treasure that is about to be born in the Outer Domain?!"

"This dog Emperor!"

The White-Haired Old Man spat, and the first sentence he spoke was in a completely different, violent style.

Just from this point, one could see.

He had no respect for the current Emperor of Linshan Country.

"City Lord, someone outside says they want to see you." A person quickly walked in from outside the hall and called out.

"See me? What strength? What's his name?" Jiangshan asked in a deep voice.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Could it be that the person sent by the Imperial Family to take him to the Imperial City has already arrived?

"Your subordinate cannot see through his strength. That person calls himself Ye Tian, and he said he knows what happened to the City Lord's savior and mentor from twenty years ago." The subordinate repeated the words.

Jiangshan was suddenly stunned!

"Twenty years ago, savior, mentor!"

This brief information directly brought him back to those distant memories.

Twenty years ago.

He was still a Four-Star Soul Card Master who was looking for his fifth Soul Card.

At that time, he was Middle-aged.

Without any accidents, he would have lived a mediocre life like that, at most stopping at the first stage of a Soul Card Master, unable to advance further.

But he himself was not reconciled.

He still wanted to take a gamble, wanting to carve out an extraordinary path for himself.

So back then, he, alone, stepped into the Outer Domain.

Coming to this chaotic yet full of countless opportunities place.

It was because of this decision that he met the person who changed his life!

Even now, Jiangshan still clearly remembers.

One night twenty years ago.

He was captured by a group of bandits, his hands and feet broken.

These guys were going to sacrifice him alive to a terrifying Beast King that was fifty thousand years old!

That terrifying existence, even now, Jiangshan did not have the full confidence to defeat.

Just when he thought he was going to be buried in the mouth of that Beast King, A Man whose body was covered by a torrent of steel appeared!

That was the first time Jiangshan had seen a battle between a supreme expert and a Beast King.

Until now.

That battle was still incredibly clear!

The remaining shock had also not dissipated!

And the final result, of course, was that the man who could control metal killed the Beast King and absorbed the transparent Soul Card produced by the Beast King!

Along with a few bandits who were raising the Beast King, they were also easily dealt with by the other party.

It was because of this incident that he was spared.

That man was not dealing with the Beast King because of him, but he was indeed spared because the Beast King was killed by him!

Later, with some ulterior motives, he began to force a relationship with the other party.

To the surprise of Jiangshan at the time, that man did not show any hostility or disdain towards him.

Not only was the other party willing to talk to him, but he even pointed out some flaws in his Cultivation methods!

Thinking back now, Jiangshan was also very grateful for his bravery back then.

Because of this beginning.

He successfully became friends with that man!

Of course, during their time together, Jiangshan always positioned himself as a younger brother.

Following such an expert, Jiangshan's strength, Cultivation, Foundation, and other aspects all made significant progress and had a profound impact!

And he himself completely became a fanboy of that man.

However, it was a pity that the other party only stayed in the Outer Domain for two months before leaving.

Jiangshan, however, always kept this great kindness in his heart!

He knew deeply that without that man, he would never have reached his current height!

He even secretly swore that if he could meet that person's descendants, he would do everything in his power to assist and help them, in order to repay the kindness!

Unexpectedly, after twenty years, someone suddenly mentioned that man, that savior, that mentor!

"Quick, quickly let him in!" Jiangshan threw the scroll in his hand aside.

Compared to the matter at hand, he was obviously more concerned about the arrival of the person named Ye Tian!
