The sea level continued to drop, revealing an increasingly long coastline, until finally, the entire Crimson Blood Sea vanished from sight.
Wei Chen tightly gripped the Jinghong Sword in his hand. He knew that all these changes began after the sword was drawn. This indicated that the Jinghong Sword was certainly no ordinary item!
"Let's go. If I'm not mistaken, the Teleportation Array must be beneath the Crimson Blood Sea. At the beginning of this secret realm, the Crimson Blood Sea was the true battlefield. Later, when the Crimson Blood Sea inexplicably emerged, it was abandoned. More importantly, the Teleportation Array that leads out of this secret realm was submerged by the Crimson Blood Sea, which is why it was completely forsaken. The Jin Family from Eryuan City wants to trap us here; they surely didn't expect that we could find a way out."
A cold smile appeared on Wei Chen's face. "Once we return to Eryuan City, I will make the Jin Family pay for their actions!"
Wei Chen flew towards the center of the Crimson Blood Sea with Zhao Yu and Mu Qingyan. Without the pressure of overwhelming forces or the threat of blood-colored insects, Wei Chen flew at great speed.
Before long, a Teleportation Array appeared before them.
"Indeed, it's here!"
"You are amazing! How did you do that?"
Zhao Yu and Mu Qingyan exclaimed in surprise.
"It’s all thanks to this sword. In the middle of the sea, I saw an island with this sword stuck in it. Once I pulled it out, the blood sea disappeared."
Wei Chen handed the sword to Mu Qingyan and asked, "Can you help me check what this sword is about? I only know its name is Jinghong Sword, but I feel like there’s nothing particularly special about it."
"Jinghong Sword?"
Mu Qingyan frowned as she carefully examined the Jinghong Sword. After performing a few sword flourishes, she shook her head and said, "I think I've heard this name somewhere before, but I can't recall where. Let's ask about it when we get to Ancient Spirit Academy. I don't sense anything particularly different about this sword; it seems quite ordinary."
Zhao Yu also took the Jinghong Sword to study it for a while and similarly shook his head.
"Alright then, I'll hold onto it for now and we'll figure it out once we reach Ancient Spirit Academy."
The Teleportation Array slowly activated, and amidst the flickering white light, Wei Chen and his companions returned to Eryuan City.
The guards stationed by the Teleportation Array were stunned to see Wei Chen and his companions back. How on earth did they manage to return from that place with no way out?
"Spare me, young master! Everything was orchestrated by the Jin Family; I had no choice!"
The man reacted quickly, kneeling on the ground with a loud thud, crying out in despair before Wei Chen could even express his anger.
"Just do your job. If there's a debt, it has its owner; I won't kill you. But remember, when we return to Linghuang City later, if you make another mistake, I will annihilate your entire clan!"
Wei Chen threatened coldly before leading Zhao Yu and Mu Qingyan straight to the city lord's mansion.
Upon reaching the airspace above the city lord's mansion, Wei Chen instructed Mu Qingyan to hold onto Zhao Yu while they watched the show.
"Wei Chen? You actually came back alive?"
Several powerful figures rushed up, their faces filled with disbelief as they stared at Wei Chen. They couldn't fathom how he managed to escape from that cursed place.
"I'm quite lucky, it seems. Thank you for your concern," Wei Chen replied with a cold smile. Suddenly, he vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of an elder, delivering a powerful punch to the elder's stomach.
The elder was caught off guard and was sent flying backward for several dozen meters. Just as he steadied himself, five fingers of energy struck at his abdomen.
In an instant, five bloody holes appeared, taking the elder's life.
The remaining three men shouted in anger as they charged toward Wei Chen. Three against one—there was still a chance!
Wei Chen smirked coldly as a pair of wings quietly unfurled behind him. With a flap and a fold, the three powerful figures couldn't even touch him.
"You provoked me first. I let you go, but you didn't know when to stop. Today, you all must die!"
Wei Chen sneered as his Soul Power surged forth. The Fourth-Rank Beginner Soul Skill, Thundercloud Storm, was unleashed in an instant. A terrifying Thunder Power enveloped the vast area above the City Lord's mansion, leaving the three powerful figures in a state of panic.
"Ten Thousand Flower Dance!"
In the next moment, the high-level Fourth-Rank Soul Technique, Ten Thousand Flower Dance, was released. The entire space was filled with swirling Brahma Flowers, their countless forms dancing gracefully as they shot towards the three strong opponents.
"This is my first time using Ten Thousand Flower Dance, and it seems quite effective for confusing enemies."
Wei Chen treated this battle as a rehearsal, specifically practicing those unfamiliar Soul Techniques.
"Flower Kill!"
A furious shout erupted from Wei Chen's lips as three palm-sized Brahma Flowers, infused with powerful energy, crashed into the three strong figures.
Despite being only Fourth-Rank techniques, the continuous onslaught of Soul Techniques had little effect on Fifth Rank Spirit Realm experts. However, Wei Chen's speed in unleashing these techniques was astonishing; the three Jin Family experts were unable to withstand it and were all severely injured.
"Let's end this."
Wei Chen sneered as he unleashed his most proficient Silent Extinction Finger, piercing through the chests of the three strong figures.
In just two minutes, Wei Chen had eliminated the last four Spirit Realm Experts of the Jin Family.
Many people didn’t even have time to comprehend what had happened before Wei Chen concluded the battle.
However, some powerful figures nearby witnessed everything clearly. They saw Wei Chen effortlessly take down four Spirit Realm Experts in quick succession. When he had previously slain Jin Quan and Jincheng outside the city, some believed it was merely luck. But after this battle, Wei Chen's reputation was firmly established in Eryuan City.
In a one against four scenario, swiftly eliminating the opponents with ease, was that still human?
Wei Chen's terror surpassed countless people's understanding.
Zhao Yu and Mu Qingyan observed everything clearly. It wasn't until Wei Chen took down the four members of the Jin Family that they snapped out of their shock. Wei Chen's Soul Technique was truly breathtaking; the Ten Thousand Flower Dance and Flower Kill deeply impressed Zhao Yu and Mu Qingyan.
As women, they had a particular fondness for those floral elements. When Wei Chen performed the Ten Thousand Flower Dance, her grace resembled that of a flower goddess.
Zhao Yu was already entranced in Wei Chen's sea of flowers, and many women in Eryuan City had the image of Wei Chen's Ten Thousand Flower Dance swirling in their minds, lingering for a long time.
"The Jin Family's lingering malice towards me is entirely their own doing. If anyone dares to trouble me or my friends again, I, Wei Chen, will not show mercy!"
"As for the position of City Lord of Eryuan City, I believe it should be jointly held by Fuyuan Trading Company and Feathered Pavilion. The Jin Family no longer has that qualification."
Wei Chen declared loudly, her voice carrying far. The experts from Feathered Pavilion and those from the Su Family who rushed over were overjoyed; this was truly a windfall for them.
By the time they arrived above the City Lord's residence, Wei Chen and her companions had already departed.
"Alas, that person really shows no mercy. The Jin Family is finished; the competition for the City Lord position will undoubtedly be between our Su Family and Feathered Pavilion. He has saved us a lot of trouble. Our relationship with Feathered Pavilion is quite good; if we join forces, the other factions won't stand a chance," Drunkard remarked lightly.
"Our Su Family has been quite fortunate lately. Yuer has returned and brought back such a formidable son-in-law. Once they become disciples of Ancient Spirit Academy, our Su Family's backing will be even stronger. By then, even if Eryuan City is traditionally dominated by other forces, we won't have anything to fear," Sufuyuan sighed.
Su Linglong wore a joyful expression; it was her first time feeling such happiness because of Wei Chen.
The Sky Bird Pavilion Master arrived, flying close to the Su Family members with a smile. "Wei Chenyu has greatly elevated our Feathered Pavilion. The position of City Lord in Eryuan City belongs to your Su Family; we at Feathered Pavilion will fully support you to prevent any ill-intentioned schemes."
The Su Family humbly declined at first, but the Sky Bird Pavilion Master understood deeply that they could not seize the position themselves. By allying with the Su Family, Feathered Pavilion would maximize its interests, which satisfied him greatly.
Eryuan City was undergoing a major reshuffle, with the Su Family taking the position of the city lord, which was expected. The Feathered Pavilion did their best to assist and gained quite a bit from it.
The protagonist who would change the situation in Eryuan City had already arrived in Ling City.
This time, the person responsible for the Teleportation Array dared not play tricks. Once they exited the Teleportation Array, Mu Qingyan could only smile wryly and say, "Ling City... If it weren't necessary, I wouldn't want to come back."
Wei Chen understood what Mu Qingyan meant. He gently squeezed her hand and reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll find a way regarding that matter."
Mu Qingyan nodded; she could only choose to trust Wei Chen.
"There’s still some time before the Ancient Spirit Academy starts recruiting disciples. You should find a place to settle down and rest well while you wait. I've been away from the Ancient Spirit Academy for a long time; I need to go back and give my family an explanation."
Mu Qingyan showed a reluctant expression, her eyes filled with genuine emotion as she gazed at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen smiled and patted Mu Qingyan's head, saying, "Hurry back. Once we enter the Ancient Spirit Academy, we'll be able to see each other often."
"Mm." Mu Qingyan nodded and then turned to Zhao Yu, pouting slightly as she said, "Sister Zhao Yu, take good care of Wei Chen and don’t let him flirt with other women anymore."
Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment, then a complex look flashed in her eyes. She sighed softly and nodded.
The two women officially acknowledged each other's presence.
Mu Qingyan floated away and soon disappeared, leaving Zhao Yu alone with Wei Chen.
"Zhao Yu, you two..."
"Hmph, you Fellow, don't think about flirting with other women again. Yen Er likes you so much; you better not let her down," Zhao Yu huffed.
"How about you?" Wei Chen teased, looking at Zhao Yu.
"I'm already yours, what more do you want?" Zhao Yu replied with a hint of anger, though there was no reproach in her eyes. Everything that had happened in the Cloud Spirit Sect was now behind her.
In high spirits, Wei Chen took Zhao Yu's hand and called for a carriage, saying to the driver, "It's our first time in Ling City; take us around to see the sights."
"Sure thing."
Ling City was built atop a majestic mountain range that stretched for a thousand miles and was three hundred miles wide. The city itself spanned eight hundred miles in length and two hundred miles in width—an astonishing size. Establishing such a massive city on the mountaintop must have come at an unimaginable cost.
The Ling Sheng Dynasty, one of the Three Great Sacred Dynasties of the Eastern Region, ranked third among the three Holy Dynasties. It was hard to imagine how prosperous the other two Holy Dynasties must be.
"Big Brother, I've heard that besides the Major Forces of Linghuang City and the Ancient Spirit Academy, there's also a Soul Palace. Can you take us to see the Soul Palace?" Wei Chen asked the driver.
The driver responded helplessly, "Brother, that's a tough one. If you want to go to the Major Forces or the Ancient Spirit Academy, I can take you there right away. But going to the Soul Palace is impossible. The people from the Soul Palace are elusive; you might encounter a master from there just wandering down the street. Unless it's someone high up in the Soul Palace, no one knows where their headquarters is located. I've grown up in Ling City for many years and still have no idea where the Soul Palace is."
Wei Chen's heart sank, but he maintained a calm expression and casually smiled, "Then let's go see the Major Forces."
As Wei Chen and Zhao Yu headed toward the Major Forces, Mu Qingyan returned to the Ancient Spirit Academy.
What awaited her was a thunderous shock.
