For these warriors, their instinctive premonition was infallible, and since all ten of them shared this feeling at that moment, it could not be mistaken.
"Could there be an elder from the Ziyang Sect's Heavenly Realm hiding among us?" someone questioned.
Aside from this possibility, they truly could not think of anyone or anything within this small Fengyan City or the Fang Family that could pose a threat to the ten of them.
However...
"The elders of the Ziyang Sect's Heavenly Realm would not appear in Fengyan City." At that moment of confusion among many, Zhao Shixiong, who was at the late stage of the Primordial Embryo Realm, suddenly frowned and spoke.
He was the leader of this expedition, and as the only one among the ten who had reached the late stage of the Primordial Embryo Realm, his status within Jincheng Sect was significantly higher than that of the other nine. Therefore, he had access to more information.
Although he did not know why Jincheng Sect had sent them such a long distance to eliminate the Fang Family in Fengyan City, Zhao Ming was well aware that this operation initially did not involve them. Instead, it was supposed to include disciples far stronger than them from within the Sect, and even elders from the Heavenly Realm were expected to come personally.
However, it seemed that some unexpected events occurred afterward, causing these individuals to be intercepted by members of Ziyang Sect outside the Great Zhao Kingdom. This led to their group consisting entirely of those at the Primordial Embryo Realm, with only him being at the late stage.
Nonetheless, there were no elders from the Heavenly Realm in their Jincheng Sect team, and similarly, there would be no ambush by Ziyang Sect's Heavenly Realm elders in Fengyan City. This was an unspoken balance between the two sects and could be considered a rule of this competition.
Knowing this clearly, Zhao Ming naturally did not believe that there were Ziyang Sect's Heavenly Realm elders lying in ambush within Fengyan City. Thus, he immediately spoke up to dispel such thoughts. Otherwise, if everyone continued down this line of thinking, it was likely that they would lose all courage to step into Fengyan City.
However, if it wasn't Ziyang Sect's Heavenly Realm elders, then what else could be hidden within Fengyan City?
Casting his gaze around Fengyan City, Zhao Ming's frown deepened further. Aside from his earlier premonition, no matter how carefully he searched now, he could not sense anything unusual about Fengyan City.
Everything seemed so normal.
It was precisely because of this that the apprehension in the eyes of Zhao Ming and his group grew even stronger as they looked at the empty Fengyan City. The Azure Rainbow Greatsword hovered in the air near Fengyan City, daring not to approach even a step closer, while within Fengyan City, the Fang Family members were even less likely to take the initiative to step outside. The current situation appeared to have fallen into a temporary stalemate.
"They're not coming in."
Inside the Fang Residence, Fang Chen gazed at Zhao Ming and his group's hesitant figures hovering outside Fengyan City, lightly furrowing his brow.
The coverage area of the Four Symbols Killing Formation was indeed vast. As long as Zhao Ming and his group of ten entered Fengyan City, they would be within the range of the Four Symbols Killing Formation. Even after entering the air above Fengyan City, Fang Chen would still have a way to use the Four Symbols Killing Formation to bring them down from the sky. At that point, their lives and deaths would almost entirely be in Fang Chen's hands. However, their refusal to enter left Fang Chen with a feeling akin to striking cotton with a heavy blow. All his preparations could only be activated after Zhao Ming and his group entered Fengyan City.
But he was not anxious.
"I want to see whether you will come in or not," Fang Chen sneered.
The Jincheng Sect had traveled thousands of miles to invade Ziyang Sect's territory and sent people to disrupt the Fang Family in Fengyan City; if there were no consequences for this, Fang Chen would not believe it. Moreover, as outsiders, Zhao Ming and his group could not stay here for long. More importantly, Fang Chen was well aware that he had triggered this situation by slaying a projection of Jincheng Ancestor's Divine Consciousness. How furious would Jincheng Ancestor be if a junior killed his Divine Consciousness projection?
Even if Zhao Ming and his group did not know the true reason, they must have been warned by their Sect before arriving. Now that they had come to Fengyan City and were too frightened to enter, once this news reached their Sect, it could be said that they would have no prospects within Jincheng Sect in the future; the consequences could be even more severe.
Considering all these factors together, Fang Chen understood that he was not in a hurry. Compared to him, Zhao Ming and his group of ten were truly like ants on a hot pan—unable to retreat or advance, caught in a dilemma!
"They're not elders from Ziyang Sect's Heavenly Realm, they're not elders from Ziyang Sect's Heavenly Realm..." A disciple from Jincheng Sect murmured on the Azure Rainbow Greatsword, repeatedly reciting these words. When he repeated it for the third time, a flash of brilliance suddenly appeared in his eyes. His previously lowered head lifted in an instant as he scanned his nine fellow disciples beside him with burning determination:
"Since there are no elders from Ziyang Sect's Heavenly Realm lying in ambush within Fengyan City, then with our ten people's strength, as long as we are careful and cautious, we shouldn't encounter any mishaps inside. Moreover, we don't have time to waste here."
As the words fell, the people on the Azure Rainbow Greatsword had their gazes flicker slightly, beginning to contemplate. The silence lasted for about three breaths before it was finally broken by a burst of laughter.
"Wang Shidi speaks with courtesy. In Fengyan City, even if there are dangers, as long as there are no figures at the Heavenly Realm level, it is truly difficult for them to threaten us. Moreover, we are not going alone; with ten Human Powers at the Primordial Embryo Realm level, we can absolutely sweep through. More importantly..." Zhao Ming's voice paused slightly as he calmly scanned the nine people beside him, finally saying in a deep tone, "We have no way out."
Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere around them suddenly changed dramatically, a chilling aura rapidly spreading from mid-air. The few people on the Azure Rainbow Greatsword, whose gazes were still flickering, now trembled slightly, and a determined look almost simultaneously radiated from everyone's eyes.
Indeed, compared to the Fang Family members who could quietly stay in Fengyan City, this group of Jincheng Sect disciples who had traveled thousands of miles had no way out. Even though they knew that there was an inexplicable crisis buried within Fengyan City, waiting for their arrival, what could they do?
After the massive sword body of the Azure Rainbow Greatsword trembled slightly in mid-air, a piercing Sword Resonance echoed as Zhao Ming and his group of ten finally entered Fengyan City!
