Chapter 370 - Distant Ancient City

Chapter 370: Distant Ancient City

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Distant Ancient City was a city left from anceint times.

This city was said to have been built by Firmament Palace. It was an outer stronghold of it.

However, the city now showed signs of age. It was too dilapidated to present its former magnificence.

At the moment, nearly three hundred talents from various domains gathered here. More and more people kept flooding into the city.

They came because there were ancient ruins here that could magically accelerate cultivating.

Cultivating in these ruins could be sped up five to six times, so the city appealed to many talents.

Many planned to give up treasure hunting in the Firmament Divine Realm since most treasures had already been taken by the first wave of newcomers.

Therefore, they waited here for Firmament Palace’s opening while cultivating.

In the center of Distant Ancient City stood nine huge stone pillars made of white jade that formed a circle with a 10-kilometer radius. Plenty of young talents sat cross-legged in the center of the circle. They were all trying hard to cultivate.

Lyu Tian of Dayan Domain, who had hunted Su Mo down, as well as many talents of Hong Domain were all here.

Ao Wushuang, ranked second in Hong Domain, as well as Hong Qingtian and Hong Qingxuan were also here.

“Junior Sister Hong, no wonder you’re the Fourth Elder’s favourite disciple and the most blessed in the Celestialspirit Sect! You’ve reached Lv 5 True Spirit Realm within a mere two months. At this speed, you can be listed in List of Top 1,000 Talents in East Continent within five years!”

Said a young man in a luxurious robe beside the ninth princess.

This young man was very handsome. He had piercing brows and starry eyes that shone with brightness and confidence. He caught the eyes of many ladies.

Ao Wushuang sat cross-legged in the distance. He frowned at the young man and looked slightly grim.

He felt uncomfortable about the young man’s closeness to the ninth princess, but he dared not even talk to the ninth princess, let alone take other actions.

What he perceived from the young man was too overwhelming.

He was at Peak Lv 8 True Spirit Realm!

It was Chu Yunfeng, the third genius in the List of Top 100 Talents in Dark Domain!

The ninth princess chuckled from behind her veil and softly said, “Senior Brother Chu, don’t tease me. I still have a long way to go!”

“Don’t be so modest, Junior Sister Hong.” Chu Yunfeng forced a smile and said.

He shook his head and added, “Compared with your cultivation, mine is the result of my age rather than talent. It’s unworthy of being mentioned.”

Chu Yunfeng pretended to be modest, but his eyes shone with complacency.

“Junior Sister Hong, since you entered Firmament Divine Realm from Hong Domain, you must be number one in Hong Domain’s Top-100-talent Competition!”

Chu Yunfeng tried making conversation with the ninth princess.

The ninth princess kept silent for a moment and recalled Su Mo’s figure as well as his counteroffensive victory in Top-100-talent Competition.

“What? You aren’t number one?”

Chu Yunfeng frowned at her silence and felt shocked.

The ninth princess nodded slightly and sighed, “I ranked third. I was defeated.”

“What?” Chu Yunfeng exclaimed and grew stunned.

Then, he looked serious and asked, “Who defeated you? Who is ranked first? When I meet him, I’ll make him kneel to you and apologize!”

The ninth princess felt displeased with these words. She shook her head and said, “He did nothing wrong. It was only a competition on the fighting ring. I admit he’s more powerful than I am!”

“No, don’t think this way!” Chu Yunfeng shook his head and said.

Then, he added, “He’s only a talent from a small domain, so how powerful could he be? He defeated you due to his older age and higher cultivation, that’s all!” “If I get the chance, I’ll let him know the low position he deserves!”

Chu Yunfeng was determined to humiliate the one who defeated the ninth princess. This way, he could also show his strength to her.

Ao Wushuang paid attention to their conversations. Upon hearing Chu Yunfeng’s words, he could not help snickering.

“Su Mo, haha, as long as you go to Firmament Palace, Chu Yunfeng will be there waiting. I’ll see how you handle this!”

...

Just then, over 30 figures in black robes were flying in the sky. They were all from Cold-blood Hall, and their blood Qi was very dense and thick. Mo Yue was also in the group.

“Attention! There are many people in Distant Ancient City that are 150 kilometers from here. We’re going to kill them, absorb their blood essence, and rob them of all their treasures!”

The leading thin young man flatly said.

“Prince Blood Xue Yin appointed us to raid Distant Ancient City, and we won’t let His Highness down!” another young man standing next to Xue Yin said.

He had a mole on the corner of his lips.

“Relax! Chu Zhantian, Lei Xiao, Jiang Taixu, and that ‘Wenren Tianyi’ are dispersed in different places. There are few talents of Lv 8 True Spirit Realm in Distant Ancient City. It won’t be hard for us to kill them all!”

Xue Yin said.

Although they made up only a small portion of Cold-blood Hall, 10 of them were experts at Lv 8 True Spirit Realm, and no less than 15 were at Lv 7 True Spirit Realm. They were all geniuses, and Xue Yin even ranked second in List of Top 100 Talents of Cloud Domain. The man with a mole was also an expert ranking fourth in List of Top 100 Talents of Blackdragon Domain. In principle, it would be no problem for them to kill the 300 martial artists in Distant Ancient City.

Throughout Firmament Divine Realm, experts beyond Lv 7 True Spirit Realm were rare. Those at Lv 5 and Lv 6 True Spirit Realm could be easily exterminated by experts like Xue Yin.

Besides, they had a hidden card that can cope with talents of Lv 9 True Spirit Realm.

“Here it is!”

After a while, Xue Yin led his subordinates to approach the crowded square in Distant Ancient City.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Over 30 talents from Cold-blood Hall released strong blood Qi and swept away everything around the square.

“They’re from...”

“Cold-blood Hall!”

“What are they going to do?”

The crowd in the square panicked at these unexpected black-robed men.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The killers of Cold-blood Hall besieged the entire square.

Xue Yin stepped forward and looked around with a ruthless smile.

“All of you, give me your storage rings and pouches or you’ll die!” Xue Yin coldly said.

He planned to rob them first and then kill them, so he could guarantee the spoils even if someone escaped from death.

Otherwise, he and his subordinates could not rob those who escaped with their property.

Xue Yin was not confident enough that he could kill everyone before some got away.
