The Lord of Great Wasteland City soared into the sky, full of vigor.
In his life,
he had never felt so triumphant as he did these past few days.
Since buying the formation map from an elder,
he had spared no expense, spending a massive amount of spiritual stones and acquiring numerous formation materials. In just three days, he had successfully set up a Saint Lord-level formation.
With this formation in place,
even if a Saint Lord-level expert came in the future, they would have to be polite. Otherwise...
once the formation was activated, no matter how formidable they were, they would still taste defeat!
Well...
If it were a Saint Lord from a Sacred Land, he would still need to be cautious. But against the Saint Lords of small sects or mid-sized factions, he was no longer afraid.
Three days had passed,
and Great Wasteland City had remained peaceful,
which made the Lord of the city feel somewhat regretful.
In the past, there were always people who didn't know their place and caused trouble for Great Wasteland City. He would have to be polite and put on a smile. But today, with his trump card in hand,
those troublemakers seemed to have agreed not to come to Great Wasteland City.
It gave him a feeling of punching air after gathering all his strength.
Just as he almost gave up on this thought,
finally!
Someone broke into Great Wasteland City,
flying through the air and blatantly ignoring the city. Normally, he wouldn't mind, but today, if he didn't use this opportunity to assert his authority,
wouldn't his reputation as the Lord of Great Wasteland City be completely tarnished?
The Lord of Great Wasteland City clasped his hands behind his back, his round figure exuding an air of majesty as he walked through the sky with measured steps.
“Who dares to act recklessly in Great Wasteland City?”
His gaze was arrogant, looking down on the world, his voice resounding with power. As his peripheral vision swept over the white jade qilin's corpse on the ground,
his heart skipped a beat.
It seemed...
this kind of demon beast was rare, and it had a high status among the demon race. Had the formation killed one of their kind?
His gaze continued to search.
The Lord of Great Wasteland City noticed a broken flag. Though torn, he could still faintly make out the characters on it:
Tianyin!
Behind the flag was a bronze chariot.
“What... the hell?!”
After holding it in for so long,
the Lord of Great Wasteland City couldn't help but curse.
It seemed that he had kicked a steel plate!
The white jade qilin pulling the chariot, the flag with the word “Tianyin” on it—that was the symbol of the Tianyin Empire! And Tianyin was the very empire ruled by his superior, the one he had to offer tribute to every year!
And now... he had actually gone and provoked the Tianyin Empire itself?
“Lord of Great Wasteland City, you have a lot of nerve!”
At this moment,
a booming voice came from nearby.
The general beside Beichen Heng could no longer hold his temper. Just moments ago, that sword had passed within inches of him, nearly scaring the life out of him. He could still smell the scent of death in the air!
It was an experience he had never had before—standing on the edge of life and death.
The general strode forward, his face grim, his voice cold.
“Lord of Great Wasteland City, do you know who stands before you?”
“J... Jiu... Your Highness?”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City was suddenly panic-stricken.
How could he be so unlucky?
He had only wanted to find someone to establish his authority, but never imagined he would encounter the Ninth Prince of the Tianyin Empire!
The Tianyin Empire was an enormous power, not weaker than any of the Sacred Lands. The current Divine Emperor had reigned for over five thousand years, once having nine sons, but now only the ninth was alive.
If he hadn't stopped the formation earlier, the Ninth Prince would probably have turned into a pile of meat by now!
And if that happened...
the Tianyin Divine Emperor's wrath would be swift and ruthless...
just thinking about it made him shudder.
“Since you know, then why don't you...”
The general was about to say more.
But before he could,
Beichen Heng stepped forward, raising a hand to stop the general. He said calmly,
“Earlier, I arrived unannounced, so there's no fault with the Lord of Great Wasteland City. General Chen, please don't make a fuss.”
“Eh...?”
General Chen's eyes widened, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
When did His Highness become so easygoing?
Something didn't feel right...
Could it be... that he was possessed during the formation?
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City couldn't contain his joy.
Although it was his first time meeting the legendary Ninth Prince, he found that the prince seemed very easy to talk to, even more polite than most disciples from the Sacred Lands.
There was no trace of arrogance.
To think, this Ninth Prince was someone of the same generation as Ren Qingtu. In any Sacred Land, he would have started as an elder or even a sect leader.
Yet, this person was willing to humble himself and communicate with him.
It could be said that he had hit the jackpot.
“Your Highness, this is not the best place to talk. Please come to the City Lord's manor, where I can properly entertain you.”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City was eager to please.
“No rush.”
Beichen Heng waved his hand, his gaze turning to the void. He said lightly,
“Was the killing formation just now set up by the Lord of Great Wasteland City?”
“This...”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City's expression froze, and he involuntarily glanced toward the direction of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
“Is there a problem?”
Beichen Heng asked politely, smiling,
“If there's any difficulty, it's fine if you don't wish to say.”
“No, no!”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City quickly shook his head. He paused for a moment before lowering his voice.
“To be honest, Your Highness, I bought this formation from an elder.”
“Oh?”
Beichen Heng's expression didn't change, as though he had already anticipated this. He asked knowingly,
“Which elder?”
“The Lord of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.”
The Lord of Great Wasteland City lowered his voice and replied.
