"What's wrong, Emperor?" The Eastern Continent Empress asked in confusion. "Could it be that the Emperor does not trust the brothers?"
The Eastern Continent Great Emperor said, "Eighty-two million years ago, countless remnants of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race died at the hands of the two brothers. Naturally, I trust them."
"I'm just worried that those remnants won't be so easily fooled and will enter Heavenly镇神城, throwing themselves into our trap!"
...
After leaving the Imperial Palace, Hu Yun, filled with excitement, arrived at the Hall of Time and Space in the Eastern Continent Ancestral City.
Through the time-space tunnel inside the Hall of Time and Space, he could reach Heavenly镇神城 in just one and a half months.
In his heart, he even doubted that by the time he returned to Heavenly镇神城, his older brother would have already captured the remnants of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race.
Would that be the case?
...
At the same time.
"Swish! Swish!"
Two beams of light descended from the azure sky, transforming into an old man and a young girl.
The old man, with white hair, was supported by a beautiful young girl, who addressed him as her grandfather.
Indeed!
The old man was Tan Yun after changing his appearance, and the girl was none other than Yu Yunxi.
Tan Yun frowned, looking puzzled at the gates of Heavenly镇神城. He was surprised to find that not only was the City Defense Formation not activated, but the city gates were also open, with people coming and going freely.
"Yunxi, this shouldn't be!" Tan Yun transmitted his voice, "According to what we did in annihilating the twelve cities surrounding Heavenly镇神城, the news should have reached here. Why are the gates still open, allowing the citizens to enter and exit freely? Don't they fear we might sneak in?"
"Tan Yun, this..." Yu Yunxi appeared hesitant.
"What's wrong?" Tan Yun transmitted, "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Yu Yunxi bit her lip and transmitted, "That's because the City Lord Hu Feng and the Deputy City Lord Hu Yun are both very powerful."
"As the seventh princess of the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty, although I haven't been to the Eastern Continent Divine Domain before, I have heard about the origins of the City Lords of the nine great cities of the Eastern Continent Ancestral Dynasty from my father emperor."
Tan Yun was puzzled, "What do you want to say?"
Yu Yunxi transmitted, "I once heard my father emperor say that the Eastern Continent Ancestral Dynasty has nine great cities, and the reason they can be designated as such with a large population is due to the number of Immortal Ancient Divine Race they slaughtered eighty-two million years ago."
"The City Lord of Heavenly镇神城, Hu Feng, and the Deputy City Lord Hu Yun, participated in the encirclement and annihilation of the Immortal Ancient Divine Race back then, and the citizens of the city are either participants from back then or their descendants."
"And Heavenly镇神城 ranks third among the nine great cities, which shows that the people of this city, or their ancestors, under the leadership of City Lord Hu Feng and Deputy City Lord Hu Yun, killed many of your kin."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun's expression turned cold.
"So, Tan Yun," Yu Yunxi transmitted, "Heavenly镇神城 ranks third in strength among the nine great cities of the Eastern Continent Ancestral Dynasty, backed by powerful strength. Therefore, since the establishment of Heavenly镇神城, they have never set up a City Defense Formation. City Lord Hu Feng is arrogant, and no one dares to disrespect Heavenly镇神城."
Tan Yun closed his eyes, remained silent for a while, and when he opened them again, his starry eyes revealed a chilling light and an uncontrollable anger.
When Tan Yun had annihilated the twelve surrounding cities, he learned from some city lords that Hu Feng is now at the third layer of the dao ancestor realm, while his brother is at the first layer of the dao ancestor realm.
Tan Yun was originally hesitating whether to risk entering the city, but now, after learning from Yu Yunxi that this city was once drenched in the blood of his kin, he transmitted with a hoarse voice, "Yunxi, prepare to slaughter the city!"
