The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1678 - 1683: Journey to the Upper Realm

"It seems I need to go to the Upper Realm, or I will certainly have regrets in my heart!" Lin Fei thought to himself.

At this moment, the light sword that was competing with heaven and earth suddenly began to contract, and finally disappeared. A streak of flowing light passed by, arriving in Lin Fei’s hand. The Moon Blade returned, but it had undergone some changes, becoming even more bright and translucent, as if it were truly the moon in the water.

By this time, cultivators from nearby had already flown over. Upon arriving, they saw the silhouette sitting in mid-air deep in the mountains and asked, "Who are you? Was the commotion just now caused by you?"

However, as soon as the person spoke, they realized that a Space Isolation Array had been set down around them, and then heaven and earth qi surged toward Dugu Aotian like a giant whale sucking water, it could simply be described as madness.

Lin Fei knew that this move was part of the first and second layers of the Demon Refinement Technique, which could quickly devour heaven and earth qi, indicating that the heaven and earth qi consumed by Dugu Aotian just now was exceedingly large.

Moreover, Dugu Aotian’s method was quite good, filling his body with the devoured qi and then injecting it into his dantian. This way, it could also quickly replenish what had been consumed.

The heaven and earth qi in this area seemed to have been drained, and suddenly they felt that the heaven and earth qi inside them was also flowing outward. Lin Fei exerted the same method to block that devouring power.

Finally, after ten minutes of wanton destruction, the fluctuations of the heaven and earth qi stopped, and Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the others, their auras had weakened a lot. Lin Fei knew it was because of Dugu Aotian, and he was quite shocked by Dugu Aotian’s power and domineering nature!

After feeling refreshed from everything the night before, Dugu Aotian knew that the quality of the primordial energy in the Lower Realm couldn’t compare with that in the Upper Realm. He had to replenish some here first, and then once back in the Upper Realm, he could make other plans.

At this moment, a strange phenomenon occurred around them. Because this was the Lower Realm, people from the Upper Realm experienced suppression when they came here. However, the Space Isolation Array set by Dugu Aotian allowed for cultivation to be restored here, making this originally a favorite place for people from the Upper Realm.

Yet now, the people from the Upper Realm actually circled around the giant array, not daring to take a single step inside, making Lin Fei find it quite amusing.

Just then, Dugu Aotian suddenly withdrew the array, making everyone’s eyes brighten as they looked at Dugu Aotian.

"Let me first introduce myself, I am Dugu Aotian, from Qianhuang Peak. You should know Qianhuang Peak, right?"

What a joke. Qianhuang Peak in the Upper Realm is as famous as the Himalayas, with the most powerful team of the Upper Realm, but they are high and aloof, rarely interacting with others. Of course, even if they did interact, the lower-level individuals wouldn’t know.

Upon hearing Dugu Aotian reveal his identity, everyone was shocked, and began to discuss among themselves, not understanding what Dugu Aotian meant.

At this moment, a cultivator suddenly stepped forward, moved in front of the others, and asked, "Senior Dugu, what business do you have in the Lower Realm? And was the light just now emitted by a divine artifact?"

Hearing the question, Dugu Aotian glanced at the crowd and said, "Indeed, it was the radiance of a divine artifact, but this artifact has already been obtained by our Qianhuang Peak, so all of you have no chance."

Upon hearing Dugu Aotian’s words, many cultivators felt very disappointed. However, those who knew some rumors understood that the divine artifact originally belonged to Lin Fei, so if they found Lin Fei, it wouldn’t be a wasted trip to the Lower Realm.

Furthermore, many harbored wishful thinking, believing that since this place could produce a divine artifact, there must surely be other treasures as well.

Just then, Dugu Aotian suddenly spoke, "And I can tell you, this divine artifact originally belonged to the Upper Realm, so it should return there."

No one expected this divine artifact to come from the Upper Realm. Of course, some had guessed it, after all, how could the impoverished Lower Realm possess such powerful things?

"Furthermore, inform your factions, they’ve already violated Qianhuang Peak’s rules. This time I will take Lin Fei to the Upper Realm, and I will have Qianhuang Peak issue an order that if they interfere with the Lower Realm again, they will be slaughtered without mercy!"

Dugu Aotian coldly stated, as this was the only way to completely resolve the issue.

Using the divine artifact to lure people in, then informing everyone about this matter, finally once they are in the Upper Realm, people from the Upper Realm will understand and get the message that the divine artifact was taken by Qianhuang Peak, ensuring the Lower Realm’s safety.

Of course, the most speechless one was Lin Fei. Was he really going to the Upper Realm? Wasn’t that a bit too unbelievable? Originally, he planned to solve the Lower Realm’s problems first, and then head to the Upper Realm, but Dugu Aotian directly resolved the matter in a single move.

No wonder, because Lin Fei knew, as a weakling holding a divine artifact, it was almost impossible to protect it. Even though Lin Fei was the owner of the artifact, some would rather kill Lin Fei to seize it.

But Qianhuang Peak was different, it definitely had the strength to protect the divine artifact, Moon Blade.

Therefore, Lin Fei had to go with them to the Upper Realm, otherwise, the matter could not be thoroughly resolved.

Everyone nodded their heads after hearing Dugu Aotian’s words, none dared to defy him. At this moment, Dugu Aotian offered them a chance to go to the Upper Realm together.

Dugu Wushang immediately took out the Space Transmission Array he prepared, it was an object, not an array marked by an Array Master, which indeed showed Qianhuang Peak’s wealth.

"I heard Qianhuang Peak has Array Kings and Artifact Refining Kings, so this thing must have been refined by them together, otherwise it wouldn’t be such a powerful space transmission array."

Someone began to speak, after all, it was Qianhuang Peak, and its wealth was imaginable.

After Dugu Aotian set up the array, the transmission array formation started to take effect, and a column of light reached up to the sky, as the cultivators rushed towards it one by one, disappearing afterward. Finally, it was Lin Fei’s turn, and Lin Fei spoke, "Senior brother, I have a request."

"What is the matter?" Dugu Aotian asked with a puzzled look at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei replied, "These few wish to help us in the Lower Realm as Upper Realm cultivators. They are willing to stay behind to guard our Lower Realm, so please, senior brother, allow them to remain, this way, there can be some vigilance, because once I go with you to the Upper Realm, there’ll be no one to manage the Lower Realm."
