Chapter 325: Ghost Shadow

Just when the relocation work of Qingguang City residents was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Outside Dongxuan City.

On a mountain peak not far away.

A black-clothed man wearing a ghost-pattern mask with a dark and deep aura.

His figure appeared and disappeared, concealing his own figure.

He was binding a special gas in his hand, looking at Dongxuan City not far away and muttering:

"Did you escape into this city?"

After confirming that his target was right in the city not far in front of him.

He did not act rashly.

Spiritual power operated in his body, and he prepared to use secret techniques first to probe the depth of the city not far from him.

Pondering for a moment, the black-clothed man also stopped hiding his figure.

On Mount Wanling of Dongxuan City.

Ye Qingxuan frowned, looked in the direction of the black-clothed man, and said loudly:

While speaking, Ghost Shadow stopped binding his own aura.

But the fact that he came from the Eastern Extreme Province surprised Ye Qingxuan.

Probing the vast majority of Sixth-Order level people or things.

Soared into the air, came to the sky above the Dongmen of Dongxuan City, and said loudly:

"This Venerable is the Dharma Protector Elder of the Ghost Sect of the Eastern Extreme Province, Ghost Shadow, please ask the City Lord of this city to appear and meet."

A vast aura unique to the peak of the Deity Transformation level instantly spread wantonly in this space.

With his cultivation base, performing secret technique pupil techniques could ignore the interval of space.

Accompanied by the operation of spiritual power in his body, a faint light appeared in his eyes.

"Who is spying on my Dongxuan City?"

After staring at Dongxuan City for a moment with pupils carrying faint light.

"Discovered?"

He hadn't expected that when he tried to gain insight into the city before him, it would be as if it were veiled in mist, leaving him unable to see through it.

Sensing the result of the secret technique feedback, a look of suspicion appeared in his eyes.

"Hmm?"

At the same time.

"Eastern Extreme Province?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, the black-clothed man was a bit surprised:

This voice, under Ye Qingxuan's control, was transmitted directly to the space where the black-clothed man was.

Ghost Shadow's peak Deity Transformation level cultivation base did not move Ye Qingxuan.

The Eastern Extreme Province was the most core large province of the Eastern Extreme Domain.

It could be said that the Eastern Extreme Province was the most vast and unfathomable province in the entire Eastern Extreme Domain.

Regarding the Eastern Extreme Province.

Ye Qingxuan only had some superficial understanding based on some records in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Just a rough understanding on the surface.

Just when Ye Qingxuan was pondering.

Ghost Shadow's words had already alarmed all the cultivators in Dongxuan City.

Figures soared into the air one after another.

Using the Dongxuan Token in their hands to mobilize the power of the Dongxuan City-Protecting Array, and began to confront Ghost Shadow in the sky above the Dongmen of Dongxuan City.

These people were all members of the Dongxuan City Guard.

Led by the five commanders of the Golden Core Realm: Xue Yu, Li Mu, Jiang Wen, Liu Feifeng, and Jiang Yinyin.

Sensing Ghost Shadow's peak Deity Transformation level cultivation base, Xue Yu's expression was rarely solemn:

"What is the reason for your coming to

Hearing Xue Yu's question, Gui Ying didn't even glance at her, merely speaking in a cold, chilling tone:

"Call your City Lord out."

"You—"

Xue Yu was just about to say something.

But a figure slowly emerged before him.

Upon seeing this figure, all the members of the Dongxuan City Guard saluted in unison:

"Greetings, City Lord!"

Among them, Jiang Yinyin's eyes were practically sparkling with stars.

Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly with his back to the guards, not turning around.

He waved his hand toward those behind him and said:

"You all may withdraw first!"

"Yes, City Lord."

Under Ye Qingxuan's order.

The members of the Dongxuan Guard, including Xue Yu, Li Mu, Jiang Wen, Liu Feifeng, and Jiang Yinyin.

All returned into Dongxuan City, though they did not disperse.

After everyone had left, Ye Qingxuan looked at the ghost-patterned mask worn by Gui Ying and said indifferently:

"Gui Ying? Speak! What business do you have with this City Lord?"

"Only mid-stage Deity Transformation Realm?"

Ye Qingxuan was not currently using the minor divine ability 'Deceiving Heaven' to conceal his cultivation base.

Therefore, Gui Ying sensed Ye Qingxuan's true cultivation directly.

Sensing the fluctuations of the aura emanating from Ye Qingxuan, Gui Ying felt a trace of surprise in his heart.

He had originally thought.

That the City Lord of this city he couldn't see through should be a peak-stage Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse, just like himself.

He hadn't expected it to be only mid-stage Deity Transformation Realm cultivation.

Relieved, Gui Ying said calmly:

"This venerable one is looking for a person; this person is hiding in your city, so I must trouble you, Excellency, to hand them over."

As he spoke, Gui Ying waved his hand.

A unique aura instantly surged toward Ye Qingxuan:

"This is that person's aura; you can find him based on this."

Looking at Gui Ying, whose tone revealed an air of entitlement, and at the special aura drifting toward him, Ye Qingxuan raised an eyebrow.

With a wave of his hand, he pushed the aura back and said indifferently:

"This City Lord has no time to help you find people; if you want to find someone, go find them yourself."

"Also, if you enter my Dongxuan City to look for someone, remember to follow the Dongxuan Laws of my Dongxuan City."

"If there is any violation, this City Lord will not be lenient."

Having said this, Ye Qingxuan turned around, preparing to leave.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Gui Ying directly threatened him:

"A mere mid-stage Deity Transformation Realm cultivator, and you have such a big mouth?"

"Kid, are you looking to die?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan retracted the step he was about to take, turned his head, and chuckled lightly:

"Looking to die? You can try and see whether it is you who is looking to die, or me."

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words.

Gui Ying's heart was filled with rage, yet it was accompanied by a sense of uncertainty.

With his strength and background, no one in the Star Fall Continent should dare to be so disrespectful to him.

But the person before him was clearly only at the mid-stage Deity Transformation Realm.

Knowing full well that he was a peak-stage Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse, he still dared to speak to him like this.

He did not believe the other party had no reliance whatsoever.

It was just that Gui Ying couldn't figure out for a moment what exactly the person's reliance was.

Gui Ying had not been in the Star Fall Continent for long.

His impression of the Star Fall Continent was still stuck in the time from a thousand years ago.

Therefore, he actually knew nothing about the situation in Dongxuan City.

Weighing the situation for a moment, Gui Ying's spiritual power fluctuated slightly, and he prepared to strike to test Ye Qingxuan's depth.

Sensing the subtle change in the aura around Gui Ying.

Ye Qingxuan narrowed his eyes and also began to secretly mobilize the power of the Seventh-Order Star Dou Array.

Just as the situation was on the verge of breaking out, a hearty voice arrived:

"City Lord of Dongxuan, I wonder if this venerable one might make a trade with you?"

This voice startled everyone.

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a burly man with a stubbly face carrying a large hammer.

He was rising into the air from a cave dwelling within Dongxuan City, walking toward this side unhurriedly.

"Li Dachui?"

Seeing this figure, Jiang Yinyin was somewhat surprised.

Back then, it was Li Dachui who had bought the first Fifth-Order cave dwelling sold by Dongxuan City from her hands.

However, looking at the scene before her, Jiang Yinyin suppressed the surprise in her heart and did not act rashly.

And Gui Ying, looking at Li Dachui, said with a hint of joy in his voice:

"Artifact Venerable, so you were hiding here after all."
