The Holy City is the absolute center of the Northern Territory. In this red land, it is as famous as the Taichu Ancient Mine.
The oasis where the holy city is located is extremely vast, covering an area of tens of thousands of miles and containing numerous cities.
Compared to other oases, the oasis where the holy city is located is the most peaceful.
Even the Thirteen Great Bandits would not easily come to this oasis to plunder.
Because in the Holy City, all the holy places and ancient families from all over the world, including the East Wilderness, West Desert, Central China, and Southern Region, have their own industries and stationed personnel here.
Once someone attacks the Holy City, that person will become the enemy of the whole world.
This is a result that even the Thirteen Great Bandits do not want to see.
Also for this reason, the various holy places are wary of each other and work together to maintain and abide by the superficial peace and rules of the holy city.
At this time, outside the holy city, on a main road hundreds of meters wide, many monks heading to the holy city were either walking or riding on exotic beasts, just rushing along the road towards the holy city.
But no matter which method is used, these monks basically follow this path.
This is because walking in the air and flying over the heads of the monks is an extremely impolite thing to do.
No one knows whether there is a powerful senior hidden among the monks below.
If the other party becomes dissatisfied and kills you in anger, wouldn't you be dying unjustly?
Therefore, those who dare to fly outside the Holy City are basically the young descendants valued by the various holy places, or simply the big figures above the level of supreme elders.
The former has a strong backer, so ordinary cultivators dare not provoke him.
The latter is very powerful and is not afraid of being angered by the strong outside the holy land.
"So, why are we hurrying on the ground?"
On the road, a big black dog muttered in dissatisfaction: "If I had your strength, let alone flying over their heads, I would not dare to make a sound even if I stood on their heads and peed, leaving them exposed!"
"Sure!"
Li Yun glanced at Hei Huang and said calmly: "How about I take you upstairs to pee?"
Heihuang rolled his eyes, snorted twice, then closed his mouth and said no more.
Just then, a sound like muffled thunder was heard in the sky.
Many pedestrians on the road looked up and saw about dozens of people riding on dragon horses and leopards that could walk in the air, whizzing past their heads like a strong wind.
Seeing this scene, many monks on the ground showed dissatisfaction.
But they also saw the clothes on those dozens of people and recognized that they were from the Beiyuan Golden Family.
The Beiyuan Golden Family is an existence comparable to the holy land level, so their people are naturally qualified to be arrogant.
No matter how dissatisfied the monks on the ground were, they could only suppress it in their hearts and dared not say much.
But Li Yun is different.
He saw dozens of people whizzing past in the sky, and his eyes immediately lit up.
“…It’s finally here!”
After waiting for so long, he really thought that everyone would abide by the rules of the Holy City Walk!
Li Yun smiled, then waved his sleeves, stirring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form a huge palm.
A giant spiritual palm rose into the sky, like an invisible wall, blocking dozens of figures riding dragon horses and leopards.
"You dare to run over my head, you are seeking death!"
A faint voice came from below, and the faces of dozens of people in the sky changed drastically.
The next moment, a giant spiritual palm slammed down, slamming dozens of people to the ground. Their bodies sank into the ground, and their mounts such as dragon horses and leopards were bleeding strangely and died on the spot.
Seeing this scene, many walking monks were also startled, then they smiled and looked ahead with a gloating look.
…You have become arrogant and reckless, and now you have met a powerful senior who is walking on foot, right?
Amidst the many gloating gazes, the leading knight's face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and raised his head, looking in the direction where the giant spiritual palm was coming from.
"Senior, please spare us. We have urgent business to rush to the Holy City. We have no intention of offending you. Please be magnanimous and let us pass for the sake of the Beiyuan Golden Family!"
"It's too late to beg for mercy now!"
Li Yun's calm voice came from the front: "No matter what your urgent matter is, I dare not kill you on the spot for daring to run over my head. This is already a sign of my mercy and magnanimity!"
“…”
Hearing Li Yun's indifferent and arrogant words, the leading knight gritted his teeth and asked unconvincedly:
"May I ask your name, Senior?"
"Are you qualified to ask my name?"
Li Yun glanced at him, then waved his hand, and countless spiritual energy rushed in frantically, like an invisible spiritual energy millstone, instantly squeezing the man's body into a blood mist all over the sky.
Seeing this scene, everyone around was shocked.
Even the monks who had been gloating over the other's misfortune no longer dared to watch the show. They withdrew their gazes and continued on their way in silence.
Killing people over a disagreement, isn't this senior too domineering?
Many members of the Golden Family who were pressed to the ground by the giant spiritual palm looked at Li Yun in fear.
Li Yun waved his sleeves, and a soul instantly flew out from the blood mist and sank into his sleeves.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yun withdrew his giant spiritual palm and instead used the [Qi Ban] magical power to block everyone's cultivation.
Then, he took a big step forward, turned his back to everyone, and said calmly without looking back: "Follow me obediently. When we get to the Holy City, your elders will come to redeem you!"
“…”
Dozens of members of the Golden Family looked at each other, then finally gritted their teeth and took a step forward to follow.
Behind Li Yun, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue appeared calm on the surface, acting as disciples of senior masters, but in fact they were secretly communicating with their spiritual consciousness and chatting animatedly with Hei Huang.
“I see, that’s how it is!”
"I was wondering why this old weirdo...the old senior is so low-key, it turns out he has this in mind!"
The Black Emperor grinned and said with a chuckle, "Not bad, not bad. You have some of my style!"
"You damned dog, be polite when you speak, or I'll complain to Master!"
Ji Ziyue glared at Hei Huang, then smiled and said, "My master had this plan when we first came to the Northern Territory. He asked my ninth grandfather to spread his name throughout the holy lands so that he could take the initiative at a time like this."
“When we get to the Holy City, even if the Saint Masters of various clans come to the Holy City, they will only admit in front of my master that they are blind and did not recognize my master’s identity. After all, my master had just arrived in the Northern Territory and had already shown goodwill…”
"Preemptive strike?" Before Ji Ziyue could finish, Hei Huang said disdainfully, "I think it's a case of turning the tables!"
Ji Ziyue glared at Hei Huang, then turned to look at Li Yun and said, "Master, it scolded you!"
Li Yun glanced at the big black dog, and the big black dog immediately looked at his nose and his heart, as if the emperor had said nothing.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "Brother Li, you don't need to use this method to earn your first pot of gold. I have already made some progress in my Yuantian Divine Art and the Wall-penetrating Insight. Even if I buy on credit first, I can make a profit that will bankrupt all the holy places!"
Li Yun shook his head and said, "That's too troublesome. Let's skip the initial capital accumulation first!"
As they were chatting, another streak of light came from the horizon and passed over everyone's heads without any hesitation.
“…Where are you running to!”
Li Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately waved his hand and captured the stream of light.
The opponent was knocked to the ground by the giant spiritual palm and looked at Li Yun with a look of surprise and doubt.
Li Yun looked at him indifferently. Just as he was about to speak his lines, the other party widened his eyes and looked at him with horror.
“God…Senior God?!”
“…”
Li Yun's face froze, and then he frowned and asked in a low voice: "Ye Fan, who is this person? Do you know him?"
Ye Fan looked at the other person and shook his head.
The man was sweating profusely and said quickly and respectfully: "I am Li Heishui, the younger generation. My ancestor is the eighth bandit Li Heng."
Li Yun nodded and said, "So you are the descendant of the Thirteen Bandits. How is your relationship with that boy named Tu?"
Li Heishui said quickly, "My dear friend, he was the one who told me about the senior's appearance!"
Turns out he’s one of us, that’s all right!
Li Yun and Ye Fan looked at each other, then waved their hands to lift the ban.
Li Heishui breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried over, saying with a big smile on his face: "This must be Brother Ye, right? Old Tu has mentioned you many times, saying that he wants to introduce you to us. Now that we meet outside the Holy City, it can be considered fate, so why not travel together!"
Ye Fan smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
Li Heishui was overjoyed, and immediately looked at the dozens of people following him, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ye, what are you doing?"
Ye Fan thought about it and told the truth.
Li Heishui is indeed Tu Fei's good brother, and he is also full of bad intentions.
When he heard Ye Fan's words, his eyes immediately lit up, and he patted his chest and said that he would share the worries of Senior God.
He knew most of the young geniuses and big shots from various holy places. As long as he met them, he would be able to tell them their identities.
After hearing this, Li Yun gladly accepted Li Heishui and let him join the team.
Afterwards, Li Yun and others walked slowly on this road. It took them three days to walk a distance of just a few dozen kilometers!
During these three days, a total of six young geniuses from holy lands, including the Beiyuan Golden Family, were intercepted by Li Yun and taken hostage.
Among them are the direct disciple of the head of the Five Elements Palace, the young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Jiang Yifei, the young prodigy of the Jiang family, Xiang Yifei, the holy son of the Dayan Holy Land, and many other important figures from major forces.
But no matter how distinguished their status is, in the face of Li Yun's domineering methods, they can only restrain their edge and behave themselves.
Finally, three days later, Li Yun, Ye Fan, Ji Ziyue, Li Heishui, Heihuang and a dog led a long team of a hundred people and arrived in front of the magnificent holy city.
Looking at the towering and majestic city wall in front of him, Li Yun showed a smile like an old farmer harvesting his harvest.
Then, he raised his right hand and grabbed into the air, and a jade pendant engraved with the mark of the sun condensed out of thin air.
Li Yun handed the jade pendant to Li Heishui and said calmly: "Take my jade pendant and go to the bases of various forces and ask them to bring enough source to redeem me. Remember, ordinary disciples need 100 jin of source, and Saint Sons need 10,000 jin of source. The price can only be more, not less!"
"If the other party is unwilling, then threaten them and tell them that I will kill them. Do you understand?"
Li Heishui stared at Li Yun in a daze, as if he had not expected that this senior god could speak so many jargons so skillfully.
No wonder Tu Fei always said that Ye Fan was the same type of person as them brothers. So this is the root of the problem!
Li Heishui suddenly realized what was going on and took the jade pendant with excitement.
"Yes, Senior God, please leave it to me. I know everything about kidnapping!"
After saying that, Li Heishui leaped into the Holy City, holding a jade pendant that exuded a fiery aura, and sped along the wide streets, shouting arrogantly at the astonished passers-by:
"The Jade Pendant of the Great Sun God is here, who dares to block my way!"
