CHAPTER 304: LONG TIME NO SEE!

A year swiftly passed by, and no further incidents occurred on the Eternal Peak.

Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the Qingyun Region, a seemingly ordinary young man with a heroic bearing flew across narrow mountain paths, taking in the scenery of heaven and earth as he leisurely traveled.

No overbearing, world destroying or earth shattering aura emanated from him, in fact, it would be difficult to sense that he was a Immortal Cultivator unless one had a special discerning method or was at least at the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, just from the fact he was soaring through the air at such an incredible speed was enough to prove his extraordinary nature.

This young man was none other than Lu Qingfeng.

After bidding farewell to his friends near the East Coast, he and Mo Yuxin arrived in the Qingyun Region together after a year of non stop travel before parting ways, as Qingyun Sword Sect and the Eternal Peak were located quite far from eachother.

No one could have imagined that this seemingly ordinary young man who just appeared a bit more heroic and handsome was actually the famous Supreme Archer renowned throughout the eastern states of the Eastern Continent, The Second Disciple of the Eternal Peak and a supreme prodigy of Void Refinement Realm before a thousand years of age.

He had accomplished countless great feats during his time as the Great General of the Demon Subjugation Heavenly Alliance and was treated courteously even by Tribulation Transcendence powerhouses because of his background as a supreme being’s personal disciple.

At this moment, as Lu Qingfeng was about to enter the inner area of the Qingyun Region, he suddenly sensed something, Divine Sense immediately spreading out to thousands of miles around him.

And then, his pupils slightly contracted and he halted in midair almost instantly, a cold expression like frost emerged on his face.

Around a thousand miles away, atop a small mountain peak, winds and clouds gathered to reveal a city of Immortal Cultivators, stretching out to over 300 miles in radius.

This was the Blue Cloud City, a solitary cultivation city with several Innate level forces situated in it, and the City Lord was even a five thousand year old veteran Golden Core great cultivator.

The Blue Cloud City, established over 20,000 years ago, in fact, was one of the less than a thousand Golden Core factions in the Qingyun Region and the absolute overlord of the Blue Cloud Mountain Range which Lu Qingfeng was passing through.

Although incomparable to those Void Refinement and even Nascent Soul level forces such as the Qingyun Sword Sect, with heritages as deep as hundreds of thousands of years, the Blue Cloud City was still considered a relatively powerful force.

Having stood tall for over 20,000 years, it’s foundation was naturally terrifying, and only high level cultivators at the Void Refinement Realm and above knew that there was actually a powerful pinnacle Golden Core ancestor of the City Lord’s Mansion who was nearing the natural end of his lifespan, hiding in seclusion.

There was a trend of the Blue Cloud City producing its first Void Refinement Realm expert in the next four thousand years, divined by a Void Refinement elder from one of the strongest Void Refinement factions in the Qingyun Region, so it had entered stable development under that power’s protection.

However, this stable development was broken a few days ago when a Golden Core cultivator, alongside the daughter of the City Lord and the eldest disciple of that Void Refinement power, arrived.

The City Lord, originally a bit skeptical, was immediately convinced upon figuring out that the Golden Core cultivator’s bone age was not even 700 years.

A Golden Core cultivator under a thousand years old was already considered a great genius by the standards of the Second Great Mortal World, while a Golden Core cultivator who wasn’t even 700 years old was unquestionably at the level of those supreme geniuses from the major factions!

Even though this "genius" seemed to have a very questionable character, hanging around with two top tier beauties without any sense of shame, it was all excused under the guise if his talent.

However, at this moment, a Divine Sense from afar firmly locked onto the Blue Cloud City, directly breaching the array formation that even Golden Core cultivators at the later stages would have struggled with in just an instance, causing ripples to spread across the dome-like formation covering the city.

The City Lord, being a Golden Core Realm Fifth Stage cultivator and also the one who held the eye of the formation, was instantly alarmed and looked up in horror as cracks like a giant spiderweb appeared on the array formation, directly unraveled.

"V... Void Refinement Realm expert!"

He shouted in terror, unable to maintain composure in such a situation, his face exceedingly grim.

At that instance, several powerful auras burst out from the City Lord’s Mansion, all belonging to the Golden Core elders who usually did not make their moves.

All of them immediately arrived by the City Lord’s side, staring at the formation shattering like glass, each with a grim expression as if facing death.

"Who from my Blue Cloud City offended a Void Refinement Realm great cultivator? Immediately seal off the city gates! No one is allowed to enter or exit in this period of time!"

An elder bellowed as the City Lord wasted no time, calling upon his subordinates to issue a city wide lockdown, not allowing even a fly to escape!

The formation of the Blue Cloud City couldn’t be so easily broken even by an average Void Refinement Realm cultivator in the early stages, it would require them to personally take action and wear down the formation for several minutes.

However, right now, just a sweep of Divine Sense from this mysterious unfathomable powerhouse could cause the formation to collapse, indicating that this person was not merely a First or Second Stage Void Refinement cultivator!

Definitely above the Fourth Stage of Void Refinement Realm, at the very least!

Even if they were backed by a Void Refinement power, the highest level ancestor of this power was only speculated to be at the later stages of Void Refinement Realm, and there were less than 3 individuals in the mid stages of Void Refinement Realm!

Offending such a powerful expert was akin to a death sentence for the entire Blue Cloud City!

At this moment, in a prosperous area of the Blue Cloud City, a young man accompanied by two beautiful women and several attendants behind him strolled through the market, all the attendants had a fawning smile on their faces while both women maintained cold expressions, not even sparing a glance at anyone but clinging closely besides the young man, who appeared neither servile nor overbearing.

This young man was none other than Lu Sheng, the former tenth young master of the mortal world’s Lu Martial Family from where Lu Qingfeng originally was from .

Recently, Lu Sheng had made a breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm with the help of his Half Immortal ancestor’s countless techniques and knowledge, and was here because his ancestor sensed the presence of a powerful treasure in the Blue Cloud City.

This treasure could help Lu Sheng quickly reach the mid stages of Golden Core Realm within a hundred years, so Lu Sheng hastily appeared here and by chance got acquainted with the daughter of the Blue Cloud City Lord and young lady of the Starfall Pavillion, a Void Refinement force backing the Blue Cloud City.

His journey had been relatively smooth since he met the two women, both considered geniuses in their own rights among the circle of Golden Core and Void Refinement factions, but nowhere near the level of Lu Sheng.

He had the awakened bloodline of the supremely powerful Hidden Lu Immortal Family and the guidance of a Half Immortal, after all.

However, at this moment, the entire city seemed to be in a state of alarm as the city patrol guards flew around in a hurry, closing all city gates and forbidding all the residents from leaving the city.

The young lady of the Starfall Pavillion by Lu Sheng’s side, Situ Yuyang, frowned at this and immediately stopped a city guard, about to ask what was going on before a crisp sound of glass shattering came from the sky above.

Abruptly lifting her head, she spread out her Divine Sense of the Innate Realm only to find out that the city protecting array formation had been breached, her expression turning solemn.

At the same time, Lu Sheng and the daughter of the City Lord also looked up, both wearing solemn expressions.

They all knew that the Blue Cloud City’s formation could withstand several blows even from Void Refinement Realm great cultivators, yet now, it was broken almost instantly without the other party even being present!

Just as they were guessing the identity of the assailant, a domineering voice filled with undisguised killing intent erupted from above the city.

"Lu Sheng, long time no see!"
