Illusion Worry City.
Ever since Lin Fei defeated the Worry-free Sovereign last time, not only has the Worry-free Sovereign retreated into seclusion, refraining from meddling in the affairs of Illusion Worry City, but Jiang Tianyun also hardly left his secret chamber. It seemed that unless he became a Martial Sovereign, Jiang Tianyun would not come out. Clearly, Jiang Tianyun had been deeply affected and could no longer maintain his previously detached demeanor.
This was understandable. Martial artists must compete fiercely and pursue bravery. Without this determination, how can one practice martial arts? In the way of the immortals, they emphasize self-cultivation and a tranquil state of mind. Martial artists are different; they must vie for the top position. The path of martial arts is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you regress.
Even the Worry-free Sovereign, who was once laid-back, has been diligently cultivating his Divine Abilities. What more for Jiang Tianyun? However, regardless of whether it's Jiang Tianyun or Worry-free Sovereign, the ordinary martial artists and Qi cultivators of Illusion Worry City remain unaffected. The city continues to thrive as usual. However, discussions about the three major factions and the Taiyi Dao Palace have clearly increased.
"The current situation is tense. After Taiyi Dao Palace's heavy losses, they're unlikely to let things be," someone commented.
"The drama between the three major factions in this war is truly sensational. I thought that with Profound Light Cave Heaven's betrayal, Taiyi Dao Palace would wipe out the Ancient Origin Sect and Red Hades Mansion. But now, the Profound Light Cave Heaven was destroyed by Sovereign Lin instead," another chimed in.
"With Sovereign Lin present, what does it matter if the Taiyi Dao Palace doesn't back down? If he keeps growing stronger, he might become a Martial King. Then, even Taiyi Dao Palace would be in danger!"
"Heh, you think Taiyi Dao Palace isn't aware of this? They must've prepared thoroughly, ready to spare no expense to eliminate Sovereign Lin!"
Amidst the heated discussions about the current situation, Illusion Worry City finds itself in a precarious position. Although the city has existed for many years, it was previously a neutral zone with a tacit understanding of the three major powers.
If Taiyi Dao Palace eliminates the Ancient Origin Sect and Red Hades Mansion, would they still allow Illusion Worry City to exist? It's doubtful. Similarly, if the Ancient Origin Sect defeats Taiyi Dao Palace, will they spare Illusion Worry City? That's also hard to say.
As people were engrossed in discussions and speculating about the future, a voice suddenly resonated from outside Illusion Worry City, "Worry-free Sovereign, Illusion Heart True Person, come out and see me!"
The voice echoed throughout Illusion Worry City, causing many to wonder, "Is that... Sovereign Lin's voice?"
"It's Sovereign Lin! He's come to Illusion Worry City, and he's specifically asking to see Illusion Heart True Person and Worry-free Sovereign. Is he asking Illusion Worry City to take a stance and choose sides?"
Many recognized the voice. It was none other than the recently famed Sovereign Lin, the top-tier Martial Sovereign who single-handedly annihilated the Profound Light Cave Heaven. Consequently, many hurried to the city outskirts, where they saw Lin Fei, calmly standing in mid-air, hands behind his back. This wasn't his first time in Illusion Worry City. In fact, it was his third visit.
"Swoosh."
A figure emerged step by step, from the void outside the city: the Worry-free Sovereign. At this moment, the expression on the face of Worry-free Sovereign was somber. Still, he didn't say anything, his eyes complex as they rested on Lin Fei.
During their previous encounters, Worry-free Sovereign could still posture and assert himself before Lin Fei. But now, even if he had been in retreat or wasn't fond of Lin Fei's tone, the fact remained: Lin Fei's attitude was assertive. He directly summoned both Worry-free Sovereign and Illusion Heart True Person to come to him, displaying the posture of one who was superior. Without any hesitation, he left his chamber immediately and appeared outside the city.
Times had indeed changed. Now, even if Lin Fei merely made an offhand comment, Worry-free Sovereign could not afford to take it lightly but rather would consider it deeply.
"Swoosh."
Another figure appeared. It was Illusion Heart True Person.
Illusion Heart True Person and Worry-free Sovereign exchanged glances, both bowing respectfully towards Lin Fei, saying, "Greetings, Sovereign Lin. We wonder why Sovereign Lin has summoned us. Is there a matter you wish to instruct?"
Both Illusion Heart True Person and Worry-free Sovereign understood well that the golden days of Illusion Worry City had come to an end. Whether it was Taiyi Dao Palace or Ancient Origin Sect, both powers now vastly overshadowed Illusion Worry City. Lin Fei had managed to annihilate Profound Light Cave Heaven, erasing its entire existence. To him, obliterating Illusion Worry City would be an even smaller feat.
Though Worry-free Sovereign was proud, he wasn't foolish. He knew that even if he and Illusion Heart True Person joined forces, they might still be no match for Lin Fei. Consequently, they adopted a humble stance.
Lin Fei seemed quite pleased with their attitude. His current lofty posture indicated he wasn't here for a casual visit; he intended to resolve the matter of Illusion Worry City once and for all.
"Illusion Heart True Person, Worry-free Sovereign," Lin Fei began, "I believe you are both aware of the situation between Ancient Origin Sect and Taiyi Dao Palace. Now, you have three choices: Either join Taiyi Dao Palace, align with the Ancient Origin Sect, or leave Illusion Worry City altogether. Choose one of the three options. I'll give you half an hour to decide," Lin Fei spoke calmly.
"Boom."
Upon hearing Lin Fei's words, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar. Not only were Illusion Heart True Person and Worry-free Sovereign's faces darkened, but the expressions of all the martial artists and cultivators in Illusion Worry City also drastically changed, their hearts filled with discontent.
If Illusion Worry City were to disappear, these individual cultivators would lose an ideal refuge. Particularly within Illusion Worry City, there were many who had offended some significant powers elsewhere. They had fled to this city for protection. Should the city be no more, their safety would be at great risk.
"Sovereign Lin, aren't you being too overbearing? We, the Illusion Worry City and its two city lords have never offended Sovereign Lin, nor have we intended to offend the Ancient Origin Sect. We don't wish to get involved in the great war between the Ancient Origin Sect and the Taiyi Dao Palace. Is that not allowed?"
Amid the crowd, a martial saint voiced his concerns loudly. His words resonated with many, causing the crowd to become even more agitated, echoing his sentiments.
"Overbearing?" Lin Fei's eyes turned cold.
"Buzz."
Without any movement from Lin Fei, just a mere thought was enough for his Life Wheel to emerge rapidly from behind him. The second layer of the Life Wheel instantly radiated with immense light.
Worry-free Sovereign's face changed color, and he cried out, "Sovereign Lin, please calm your anger!"
However, before he could take any action, a terrifying force of gravity descended instantly, rendering him completely immobile. Gravity Domain! The domain made Worry-free Sovereign feel as if he was sinking.
"What kind of Divine Ability is this?" Worry-free Sovereign thought anxiously. In the past, he could at least match Lin Fei in battle for a while. But now? Just one Divine Ability made him feel overwhelmed. Of course, he might be able to break free from Lin Fei's Divine Ability with all his strength. However, Lin Fei had yet to use his Saber Domain. Once Lin Fei employed it, Worry-free Sovereign knew he wouldn't be able to withstand it. So, he dared not move.
The martial saint who had voiced his opinion seemed to realize something; his face turned deathly pale.
"Thud."
The next moment, an overpowering gravity descended. Before the watchful eyes of everyone present, the martial saint was instantly crushed into a pulp by the immense force.
