Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
At this mont, the sky trembled and tens of thousands of swordlights descended, shooting towards those without a compass token.
In a critical mont, Zhang Xiaohao swiftly grasped the compass token and held it above his head. A blue and blue light imdiately shot out from the compass, enveloping Zhang Xiaohao and the people from the City Lord Mansion, narrowly escaping danger.
Those without a compass token, under the assault of tens of thousands of swordlights, despite their efforts, couldn’t withstand even a single breath and were mostly slaughtered.
"Ah! City Lord, save us..." A tall man, while dealing with the swordlights in the air, pleaded for help from the City Lord.
This person was none other than the City Guard from Ming Han Snow City’s City Guardian Mansion, a position just below the City Lord.
"Hmph!" The City Lord snorted coldly, standing there indifferently with his hands behind his back as if he hadn’t seen anything.
"Ah! Old bastard, just you wait, even if I beco a ghost, I won’t let you off!" The City Guard roared madly, and under the attack of tens of thousands of swordlights, his protective treasures were quickly broken, and his entire being, including his Nascent Soul, was completely slain.
A dozen breaths later, on the plaza, all those without compass tokens were killed under the swordlights, including the people from the City Guardian Mansion.
"Sigh!" Seeing this scene, the City Lord sighed complexly, shook his head, and then cast his gaze on Zi Wuling.
"Wuling, where have you been these days? And who is this young brother? He looks so unfamiliar to ."
"Dad, his na is Xu Tianxing. I t him on the way. If it weren’t for Brother Xu’s help before, I would have died at the hands of those beasts from the City Guardian Mansion," introduced Zi Wuling.
"Hmm! Thank you, young brother, for your help. For this ti, and the previous one, I will surely thank you properly! Inside this bag are ten thousand high-grade spirit stones as a reward for rescuing us twice."
As he spoke, Zi Batian tossed out a storage bag.
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohao chuckled playfully, caught the storage bag with one hand, and then tactfully stepped aside.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohao like this, Zi Wuling wanted to speak up to ask Zhang Xiaohao to stay, but thinking of her father’s character, she swallowed back her words.
The scene here received little attention from others, though it did not escape the notice of those with keen eyes.
A man and a woman, hidden among the crowd, witnessed this scene with overwhelming hatred in their hearts.
"Damn it! This brat clearly went to the most dangerous place in the south, so why is he here? Could it be that the rumors about the south are false?" Bai Xuefeng said with a sullen face.
"No matter how he got here, it doesn’t matter now! We’ve already acquired part of the Great Ancestor’s inheritance. If we get the inheritance here, no one can stop us! Once we break through to the Golden Core Realm, we can repay all the humiliation we suffered before!" Mu Lingfeng said with a flash of fierce light in his eyes, brimming with killing intent.
"Hmph! Let the brat live a bit longer," Bai Xuefeng said coldly.
At this mont, the figure in the sky spoke again.
"Foreigners have been removed, and although so of you still harbor ill intentions, having the protection of my compass token is your fortune! However, my inheritance is singular, and only those with exceptional talent and skill are worthy of it! From now on, regardless of your cultivation or realm, your power will be suppressed to that of a common person. You won’t be able to use talismans, magic artifacts, treasures, or even secret techniques! Only your physical body can be used. It doesn’t matter to who you are, as long as you remain standing as the last one, you will be my inheritor and receive all my secret technique inheritance! Of course, if you’re unwilling, you can choose to leave now. See the cave entrance behind you? Once you step inside, you may leave! You have three minutes to decide. After three minutes, regardless of your choice, I will consider it accepted, and the entrance will be sealed until the last man stands!"
With his words, the entire plaza underwent a dramatic change.
Especially the group from the City Lord Mansion.
"City Lord, what do we do now? Do we stay or leave?" asked an old monster at the late Nascent Soul stage.
Zi Batian glanced coldly around, seeing the eyes of hundreds of people all focusing on their group, with looks of struggle and hesitation.
Their group, despite being nurous, was not comparably near the number of loose cultivators.
If suppressed to re mortals, those fierce gazes suggested they might all rush in and resolve their group before fighting for survival alone.
"Phew! We withdraw——!" Although deeply unwilling, Zi Batian had no choice but to order a retreat.
Compared to this inheritance, his life was more important, and he didn’t leave without gain this ti, as he had obtained so opportunities along the way.
Zi Wuling’s gaze shifted rapidly, as if to say, Brother Xu, are you willing to withdraw with us?
Zhang Xiaohao calmly shook his head, thinking that having co this far, how could he retreat now? Moreover, even if suppressed to a mortal state, with his physical strength, there was still hope.
Besides, Zhang Xiaohao felt that the Great Mahayana Ancestor was overdoing it! It seed like an attempt to scare Zi Batian and their group away.
As for Zhang Xiaohao’s suspicions, there were two reasons.
The first was that the energy left behind was insufficient; after releasing the sword rain, it couldn’t kill Zi Batian and his group.
The second reason was the high status of the other party. Even if it was a casually arranged inheritance, the pride was sky-high, and not to ntion Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, even Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators were insignificant, clearly fearing insufficient power while keeping Zi Batian and their group would ruin his body-snatching plan!
Zi Wuling felt reluctant, but in front of her father, she dared not show it, so she had to leave with the people from the City Lord Mansion.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
Soon after, the people from the City Lord Mansion had completely disappeared, leaving only those vying for the Ancestor’s inheritance standing on the plaza.
