"Halt! What are you doing?" A city gate guard in silver armor stopped Li Hongfei and said.
Li Hongfei smiled slightly, raised his chin, and said with a hint of arrogance, "I'm going into the city to find someone."
"Who are you looking for? Which family? What do they do specifically?"
Li Hongfei paused for a moment.
"You can't even tell me who you're looking for? I bet you've come into the city with ulterior motives!" the guard said sternly.
Li Hongfei chuckled, shook his head, and murmured softly, "Heh... You mortal pig, just a minor official. If you knew my true identity, you'd probably be scared out of your wits!"
"What are you muttering about?" The guard waved his hand impatiently. "If you can't answer, don't even think about getting away with it! Get out of here—"
"How dare you speak to me like that? You're courting death!" Li Hongfei narrowed his eyes. Being treated in such a tone by someone he looked down upon, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped the guard in the chest.
*Snap!*
The guards remained motionless.
Li Hongfei was taken aback.
The guard was also taken aback.
The guard looked at his own chest, then at Li Hongfei.
"Attack me?"
Li Hongfei was also taken aback.
His face immediately turned pale with shock.
"You...you're a Mahayana stage expert?!"
"Damn it!" The guard grabbed his weapon and roared, "How dare a mere Void Refinement Realm cultivator be so insolent?! If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm not worthy of being a city gate guard!"
After saying that, the guard took out a spear and started beating Li Hongfei mercilessly.
After a long while, Li Hongfei, his face bruised and swollen, hid in the bushes far away outside the city gate, looking at the Mahayana stage guard. He rubbed his bruised and swollen face and muttered to himself in confusion.
"What's going on? Even if the Human Emperor's Palace is full of talented people, they can't let a Mahayana cultivator guard the city gate, can they?"
Rubbing his swollen face, Li Hongfei had a sudden inspiration.
"I get it! Su Nian must have guessed that the Underworld would send me here, so he specially sent a Mahayana stage expert disguised as an ordinary soldier to guard the city gate! Tsk... I've been tricked. I didn't expect Su Nian to have anticipated this step in advance."
He glanced to his side and saw a procession entering the city.
That group was very impressive, completely different from the vegetable farmers and merchants who came to the city.
Although he didn't recognize everyone's face, Li Hongfei could still tell which sect the team belonged to.
Four Seasons Gate!
Ranked eighth among the nine major sects of Kyushu!
The sect leader of the Four Seasons Sect is a master in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm. Although he is only one minor realm lower than Li Hongfei, Li Hongfei is confident that he can directly control him with his soul power!
As long as I control the sect leader of the Four Seasons Gate and replace one of the guards, I can easily sneak into the Human Emperor City!
With that thought in mind, Li Hongfei began to meditate on the spot.
Then his soul left his body and he rushed straight up!
He spotted the carriage where the Four Seasons Sect Master was in at a glance and rushed towards it!
Snap!
Ru Beiqiu arrived at the Four Seasons Sect Master's carriage, stretched out her hand, and swatted Li Hongfei away as if she were swatting a fly.
The sect leader of the Four Seasons Gate lifted the curtain of the carriage and inquired about Ru Beiqiu.
What was that just now?
Ru Beiqiu said calmly, "Reporting to the sect leader, he was just a reckless cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm who didn't know his own mortality."
"Oh, I see." Upon hearing this, the sect leader of the Four Seasons Sect shook his head and chuckled.
"Now that the entire world has ascended, there are always some people who, after gaining powerful cultivation, are reckless and like to challenge us old sects. Ha... Refining Void Realm? Such cultivation is now commonplace."
After saying that, the leader of the Four Seasons Sect lowered the carriage curtain.
Ru Beiqiu remained expressionless and continued to follow the convoy.
On the other side, Li Hongfei's soul was still in shock after returning to his body.
He clutched his chest, his palms sweating profusely.
"What...what a powerful palm strike! This terrifying suppressive force, could it be...the full-force attack of a master at the third level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm?"
Li Hongfei's face was extremely ugly.
"A master at the third level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm... Could he be an elder of the Human Emperor's Palace? My luck is too bad! How did I happen to run into the Four Seasons Sect, which was being escorted by the Human Emperor?"
However...on second thought, Li Hongfei felt that this was a sign that Su Nian valued him.
He must be afraid of me, which is why he sent the elders of the Emperor's Palace to escort the people of the Four Seasons Gate into the city!
It must be! The Mahayana cultivators specially dispatched at the gate were also there to guard against me!
Oh.
Su Nian, oh Su Nian.
You really are afraid of our underworld!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent so many elite troops to guard the city gates!
Li Hongfei pondered for a moment.
Since the major sects have people escorting him, why doesn't he just go and control the smaller sects?
Just as he was thinking this, the Rakshasa Sect's troops were preparing to enter the city.
Ji Changxi, the holy son of the Rakshasa Sect, was leading the group, riding a fine horse, preparing to lead the Rakshasa Sect members into the city.
Li Hongfei seized the opportune moment, his soul leaving his body, preparing to launch a sneak attack on the Holy Son of the Rakshasa Sect!
"Give me your soul for now!" Li Hongfei sneered and reached out to grab Ji Changxi.
Ji Changxi glanced sideways and saw Li Hongfei's soul.
Then, he calmly took out a bell from his pocket.
He gently shook the bell, and Li Hongfei felt as if his soul was about to explode, collapsing to the ground in agony!
In an instant, countless Rakshasa Sect disciples surrounded Li Hongfei.
They stared at Li Hongfei's soul, which lay convulsing on the ground, filled with curiosity.
Who is this person?
