Chapter 561

Huang Tian Shangren and the city lords stood outside the immortal formation, looking into the distance.

The Fire Core City Lord's eyes suddenly lit up: 'Here they come!!'

At this moment, Yan Buji was pursued and came over, and several Nascent Soul cultivators sprang up around him, forcing him to change direction and enter the immortal formation.

The Fire Core City Lord was overjoyed and called out: 'Everyone, follow me into the immortal formation and capture the thief!'

Yes!!

Huang Tian Shangren stood outside the immortal formation, clasped his hands and said: 'City Lord, I will control the formation here, guaranteeing its stability; please hurry, as my magical power can support it for at most half an hour.'

'A mere Golden Core cultivator, even if slippery as a loach, today is his day of death!'

The Fire Core City Lord laughed loudly.

Huang Tian Shangren raised his eyebrows and nodded.

Now he understood why these city lords were expending manpower and effort to capture that fellow.

It turned out they had heard that the monks of the Dharma Flower Temple were killed, suspected this person did it, and wanted to catch him and hand him over to the temple. In a place like the West Sand River Basin, killing Buddhist cultivators is a serious matter.

In the Imperial City of this region, no temple has any connection with the Spirit Mountain, the power behind the West Sand River Basin; this is a perfect opportunity to make a name for themselves.

It is also the time of the Hundred Temples Buddhist Law Assembly; they probably also want to win preferential treatment from the temples under Spirit Mountain.

'The interests of the Imperial City and the temples are closely intertwined; aside from a few major Imperial Cities that do not rely on temples, the rest depend on the Buddhist sect for survival. As long as we capture that thief and curry favor with the Dharma Flower Temple, it is also a way to show goodwill to the Buddhist sect. Although that person's strength is not bad, he is merely a Golden Core cultivator who is hard to catch; the benefits we gain won't be great, but capturing him can also restore our reputation, so it's not too much of a loss.' Huang Tian Shangren thought.

After all, they are all prominent figures; if it weren't for the thief's audacity in killing the Dharma Flower Temple monks, they probably wouldn't want to go to great lengths even if they had the ability to catch him.

Moreover, mobilizing so many people and asking me to come help set up the immortal formation costs far more than the spiritual materials they lost.

Besides regaining face and currying favor with the Buddhist sect, these City Lords probably also want to capture him to ask about the cultivation method and divine abilities he practices, after all, the Instant Movement Technique is still quite formidable.

Even if he can't learn it, that still counts as capital, right?

"But I'm afraid that person, as I thought, isn't that simple." Huang Tian Shangren thought, and began to patiently control the Forbidden Sky Immortal Formation.

And then!

Upon entering the Forbidden Sky Immortal Formation, Yan Buji immediately felt his magic power weigh down all over, making it impossible to continue flying!

"Is it a formation like the Forbidden Sky? Indeed, even Instant Movement and Heaven Gate Law can't be used!" Yan Buji's face darkened, he tried to activate his divine ability, but there was no response.

"Hahaha, you damned thief, I advise you to surrender quickly, lest you suffer!!" The Fire Core City Lord led his people into the formation, and many Golden Core Cultivators appeared from all directions, together with several Nascent Soul Cultivators who had come in pursuit, surrounding him completely.

Seeing this, Yan Buji raised his eyebrows: "Looks like you all really want to make things difficult for me, huh?"

"Thief, report your name! Being able to escape until now counts as being somebody; I don't kill nobodies!"

"I'll make you call me dad!"

The Fire Core City Lord flew into a rage: "Damn thief! Seize him!"

"Courting death!!"

Yan Buji no longer hid either, realizing this place was likely a killing ground set up to counter his Instant Movement Technique, and there probably wouldn't be any further tricks.

So Yan Buji no longer hid, choosing to fully erupt his Immortal Essence.

"This is...."

"Take this!"

Yan Buji hoisted the Sea Kun Hammer, a ferocious grin on his face, with the Magic Power Golden Wheel and Shocking Wave Fire swirling around him as he charged into the Golden Core Cultivators!

"Ah!!"

"How is that possible, you?!"

This group of Golden Core Cultivators were shocked and dismayed; they never expected that the thief, who had just been beaten by them and fled with his head in his hands, would instantly erupt with terrifyingly extreme power, both sorcery and a kind of power they had never seen before, easily killing more than ten Golden Core Cultivators!

"Armor!"

A Golden Core Cultivator looked in horror at Yan Buji charging with the great hammer, summoned his armor, but was struck down by Yan Buji's hammer!

Boom!

The Golden Core Cultivator's armor was shattered directly, the boundless Immortal Essence like ocean tides hurled him dozens of meters away, crashing hard to the ground, his fate unknown.

"Consider yourself lucky." Yan Buji snorted coldly, the fact that he didn't die from that blow and still had a breath left shows that the opponent's armor is also extraordinary.

"You! You're a Martial Cultivator?!"

"No, it's Martial and Law Dual Cultivation; who exactly are you?"

The Fire Core City Lord and the Nascent Soul Cultivators also reacted, sensing Yan Buji's ferocity, their faces instantly darkened,

When did the West Sand River Basin produce a Martial and Law Dual Cultivator, a fierce person with Martial Dao already possessing Nascent Soul-level battle strength, and why haven't I heard of him before?

"Haha, everyone, consider yourselves lucky today; I, coming to the West Sand River Basin, haven't yet truly exerted my full strength!"

Having said that, Yan Buji hoisted the great hammer and charged forward.

The Fire Core City Lord and the others' faces changed: "Retreat quickly!"

"Use divine abilities to trap him; he won't be able to fly!"

"Too late!"

Yan Buji activated Instant Shadow Step, wind adjustment, lightning flash, and many other acceleration methods; with the support of his Martial and Law dual strength, his speed turned out to be several times faster than before!

When he arrived before them, he gave a ferocious laugh: "Want to kill me? See if you all have the strength for that!!"

"You!"

"Oh no!"

The Fire Core City Lord watched the great hammer fall from above his head, his mind going blank.

At that moment, Huang Tian Shangren, who was controlling the Forbidden Sky Immortal Formation from outside, naturally noticed the abnormality in the formation, and his face drastically changed in fright.

"Martial and Law Dual Cultivation? Nascent Soul Martial Cultivator!"

I just said something felt off; I never expected that guy to hide so deeply.

"No no no, looking at his strength, probably a few Nascent Soul Cultivators won't survive...." Huang Tian Shangren observed carefully, discovered that after killing the Fire Core City Lord, that person also killed many Golden Core Cultivators, chose to retreat and flee, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Looks like he's not stupid; he knows that exposing his Martial Cultivator identity means he can't stay long." Huang Tian Shangren's face changed.

"No way, I have to help him escape, otherwise if he comes looking for me later, I won't be able to stop him!!" Huang Tian Shang Ren thought, activating spell techniques to control the Immortal Formation.

After killing a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Yan Buji didn't intend to fight them to the death. With so many people present and the Immortal Formation besides, the secret couldn't be kept and would surely leak out; it would be better to intimidate them and make a quick escape.

"Huh?"

Seeing a white light suddenly appear before him, with no offensive intent, it instead ran to Yan Buji's front, as if guiding him.

"Who did this? Could there be another hidden move planning to scheme against me?"

Yan Buji frowned, but this direction was exactly the same as the escape route he had anticipated; he suspected that someone behind the scenes was helping these people devise plans.

If so, what gives him the confidence to be certain that I will follow his guidance?

Yan Buji hesitated for a moment, looking around and seeing no other retreat, he really had no choice but to flee forward.
