Chapter 475: Cannot Act Recklessly
"Lord Shen, you're already spent? Come on, put some effort into it!"
Within the Rune Great Array, Shen Yu was completely exhausted, nearly collapsing to the ground. Yet the entire Great Array remained as solid as a fortress, without the slightest sign of wavering.
Outside the Great Array, Feng Lin and his companion continued to mock him as much as they could, as if they were jeering at a stray dog in dire straits.
Especially the expressions on their faces at this moment made one wish they could take a sword and slice them flat.
"Lord Shen, you've seen the methods of our Evil Man City. Think about it, the heroine Gu Yutong is still in Evil Man City right now. I believe it won't be long before she falls into the hands of our Evil Man City!"
"Such a delicate beauty, and a beauty with such profound Martial Arts, everyone in our Evil Man City is drooling over her!"
"The City Lord said, as long as we capture Gu Yutong, everyone can have a share!"
They seemed particularly interested in provoking Shen Yu; only by playing with such experts could they feel this excited.
Especially seeing the hostile look in Shen Yu's eyes at this moment gave them immense satisfaction. So what if he was an expert? He could still only be toyed with by them at will.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, Lord Shen, there are quite a few lecherous thieves in Evil Man City. They are all talented, and their tricks are beyond your imagination!"
"Although the heroine Gu has strong strength and deep cultivation, I don't know how many rounds she can withstand."
"Oh my, I wonder if the heroine Gu will still be able to become my collection piece afterwards. Perhaps by then, she won't even have the qualifications to be my collection!"
"After all, I have very high standards for my collection! How can withered flowers, fallen leaves, and common rouge and powder be worthy of the grand hall!"
"You!" Looking up, his eyes filled with a murderous glare, but at this moment, Shen Yu seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength and had no energy left to strike at the Great Array.
In the end, all his hatred could only turn into a stare, as if only in this way could he vent the anger in his heart.
"Let's go. After struggling for so long without even a ripple, it seems he won't be coming out!"
Having quietly observed here for a whole day, only after confirming that Shen Yu could not come out did the two prepare to leave.
During this time, they had not spared the two people in the array from ridicule; in the end, Cui Xuzhou chose to commit suicide by the blade early on.
Watching this happen, Shen Yu did not stop him. Perhaps, for him, death was actually a good thing.
Afterwards, Feng Lin and his companion went all out, the two singing in harmony and coordinating to focus entirely on Shen Yu. Cui Xuzhou was just a side dish; Shen Yu was their main objective.
Besides insults and sarcasm, they kept using Cui Xuzhou and Gu Yutong to provoke Shen Yu, seemingly trying to enrage him on purpose.
Shen Yu cooperated quite well by getting angry and desperately striking the Rune Great Array, but unfortunately, even when exhausted, he returned without success.
Seeing this, the two were clearly very satisfied, as if they had also set aside the worries in their hearts.
"I don't know what the City Lord is worried about, wanting us to provoke them as much as possible and wanting Shen Yu to desperately strike the Rune Great Array!"
"This place is as solid as a fortress; no matter how capable he, Shen Yu, is, how could he possibly get out!"
With a light chuckle, the two returned together. The reason the City Lord sent them out was not because they were strong enough, but because they were poisonous enough with their tongues.
It was precisely to use their specialty to desperately provoke Shen Yu, preferably to the point of making him go berserk.
Firstly, it was to test whether Shen Yu was truly Shen Yu. After all, masters of the Disguise Technique these days can even make the fake look real, making it hard to distinguish; such talents exist in Evil Man City.
If this Shen Yu were a fake, just used to confuse them, and the real person used this opportunity to sneak into Evil Man City for a fatal blow, that would be a huge problem.
Therefore, they had to be cautious. However, no matter how well a Disguise Technique can imitate, Martial Arts and cultivation realms absolutely cannot be faked.
An expert of the True Soul Realm, with a single move, changes the wind and clouds and causes the heavens to lose their color. That scene and that momentum can never be faked by disguise.
And through their testing, the person trapped in the array was undoubtedly a True Soul Realm expert, which meant he must be Shen Yu.
Of course, if Shen Yu could find another True Soul Realm expert, then Evil Man City would accept it.
Then again, if Shen Yu could suddenly produce three True Soul Realm experts, then Evil Man City wouldn't need to fight; they might as well just wash up and wait for death.
In the entire Jianghu, which power could withstand being targeted by three True Soul Realm experts?
Besides, in the vast Jianghu, how many True Soul Realm experts can there be? What are you thinking!
Besides this, they had a second purpose: to test whether Shen Yu could break through this Rune Great Array.
Although it is rumored that the Rune Great Array can trap even those old monsters, trapping a Shen Yu should theoretically be easy.
But theory is theory; what if reality likes to play jokes? So they had to be on guard.
Now the facts proved that these Rune Great Arrays were indeed powerful; an expert like Shen Yu could only be trapped once inside.
Unless one day the power of the Rune Great Array weakens or breaks, Shen Yu will never come out. Perhaps he will spend his whole life here.
Tsk tsk, this shows how deep the waters of the Jianghu are. No matter how strong you are, you can't just act recklessly.
Look at this so-called master of zither and sword, daring to go against our Evil Man City; isn't this just looking for trouble? You go against us, and you're so arrogant; it's only reasonable that you end up like this today.
After today's battle, Evil Man City will surely become famous once again, having single-handedly taken down two True Soul Realm experts. May I ask, in the entire Jianghu, which power could do this?
After today, no one will dare to provoke Evil Man City; it will be feared by all! And they, perhaps, will have the chance to leave Evil Man City again and go out into the Jianghu to act recklessly once more!
Little did they know, just as they were leaving in high spirits, a perception from afar quietly landed on them, following their constant movement.
Watching them cross high mountains, traverse valleys, sneak into winding karst caves, and then pass through the caves into another valley and another cave.
Finally, they snuck into an underground lake within a cave and never came out again.
The entire process, the complexity of the route, one slight carelessness and you could lose them, or even get lost yourself in the vast sea of forests or the winding caves.
Especially the stalactites visible everywhere in the cave, which seemed like arrays and pairs of eyes. Once you enter, you might be detected.
And only at the end could one discover that Evil Man City was actually built underwater, and located beneath an underground lake.
No wonder it is hard for the world to find; if not for two acquaintances leading the way, it would be very difficult for Shen Yu to find the path.
If one were to break in rashly, they might even be detected by the stalactites in the cave and have their tracks discovered early.
Indeed, Evil Man City has been able to stand in the world for so many years without falling; it truly has some tricks up its sleeve.
"City Lord!"
When Feng Lin and his companion returned to Evil Man City, they knelt respectfully before the Evil Man City City Lord.
At this time, the Evil Man City City Lord was sitting cross-legged on the ground, desperately maintaining the array; almost all the experts of Evil Man City were doing the same, and Gu Yutong inside the array was still struggling.
A True Soul Realm expert is indeed worthy of the name; it took all the experts of Evil Man City to suppress the opponent. If they hadn't lured Shen Yu to that secluded valley, the consequences would have been truly unpredictable.
"We have fulfilled our mission; Shen Yu has been trapped!"
"Very good. Now, Gu Yutong in the array won't be able to struggle for much longer. Taking down two True Soul Realm experts in one day, today is the time for Evil Man City to become famous!"
