The familiar oppressive aura, the familiar breath.
It was confird, the God of Death had returned!
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, the newly appointed City Lord shivered suddenly, imdiately retreating to the secret chamber beneath the mansion, activating the Protective Array to conceal his aura and hide his presence.
Although he had never t the Death Lord who disposed of the previous City Lord,
The current oppressive aura filled with a deathly presence unmistakably indicated the sa Death Lord had returned.
With such a dangerous being, hiding was the best course of action.
The officials inside the City Lord's Mansion, especially those who had witnessed the Death Lord's brutal power, were all trembling like leaves.
The scenes from that ti were too terrifying.
The gigantic "Ghost Gate Pass," where death chains entwined the City Lord, gradually desiccating his body, sparing not even the Spirit.
How could they not fear such a terrifying being?
In contrast, the garrison within Tianxiang City only sensed the oppressive aura of a Sixth Tier power, feeling the suppression on their bodies and souls. They were in awe but not fear.
This was because a being of the Sixth Tier Venerable One's status would rarely trouble re soldiers.
The expressions of the heads of the Noble Clans within the city were grave, with a hint of displeasure.
There was no choice; the opposing force was too audacious and showed complete disregard for them.
Yet thinking of the opposing force's strength, they could only endure quietly.
Even the Sixth Tier elder guarding the family ancestral ho looked solemn, instructing his family mbers to behave and avoid stirring up trouble.
Over at Ziyun Pavilion, things were just as unsettled.
The previous incident had significantly damaged Ziyun Pavilion's reputation.
Thus, after reporting the issue, several Guardians requested the headquarters to dispatch a Sixth Tier Venerable One to deter those restless, ill-intentioned factions.
Did they really think Ziyun Pavilion was so easily bullied?
Naturally, with the orc invasion in full swing, having a Sixth Tier Venerable One present during critical tis could provide a crucial defense for Ziyun Pavilion.
Most people within Ziyun Pavilion were well-acquainted with the spreading aura and oppressive force of Zi Liyuan.
Thus, their faces looked even more unpleasant than if they had swallowed a fly.
The presence of this person surely brought bad news.
As Zi Liyuan walked, everyone instinctively stepped aside, creating a path.
He appeared to walk slowly, yet each step covered over ten ters, with none obstructing his path, as if so force was keeping them forcibly at bay.
In no ti, he arrived outside Ziyun Pavilion again.
A group of elders, with serious expressions, stood outside Ziyun Pavilion and saluted Zi Liyuan upon seeing him.
"For the Venerable One to grace Ziyun Pavilion with your presence again, it truly illuminates our humble establishnt. Please co in."
The Fifth Tier epic elder in charge spoke humbly, personally stepping forward to guide him.
The Sixth Tier Venerable One within Ziyun Pavilion did not step out, opting instead to hide in the basent.
He had no desire to et; there was little he could do, and coming out would only bring himself misery.
"Ziyun Pavilion is indeed worthy as the foremost intelligence organization, possessing remarkable strength. Yet I wonder if you intend to stand in my way."
As Zi Liyuan walked, he spoke, his oppressive aura showing not the slightest retrain.
"Tianxiang City deserves a new ruler." Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
The old man replied without hesitation.
This statent carried a significant amount of information within it.
However, with Ziyun Pavilion's intelligence-gathering capability, the events in Zhenhai City, though brief, had already reached them.
The sixty thousand troops and nearly six thousand epic soldiers guarding Zhenhai City were utterly annihilated.
anwhile, the mighty army of a million orcs vanished without a trace, leaving only the remnants to ravage the small towns below.
The whole of Zhenhai City was reduced to nothing, obliterated in the rising, enormous explosion's mushroom cloud, leaving behind a giant crater.
Like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, it was apparent the Death Lord erged during the final stages of the human-orc war to claim the ultimate victory.
With little garrison left within Tianxiang City's jurisdiction, who could stand against a Death Lord at the Peak of Sixth Tier?
Surely, no one could hope to rely on Kang Mazi or Yongzheng from the Shengjing capital?
One must know, the ruling area of Tianxiang City was under the control of the Old Crone.
Kang Mazi and Yongzheng bore nothing but hatred for her and, were it not for the needs of the entire dynasty to remain stable, would have torn this Old Crone apart long ago.
After all, an Old Crone manipulating a puppet Emperor and seizing the power of the nation's fortune deserves death by a thousand cuts!
"It seems Ziyun Pavilion will not intervene in this matter."
With an indifferent gaze, Zi Liyuan scanned the group of Fifth Tier epic mbers within Ziyun Pavilion.
Concurrently, he slightly lowered his head, his eyes piercing through the floor, as if seeing into the underground chamber.
The two Sixth Tier Venerables, separated by thick flooring, exchanged glances.
At this mont, a fierce collision of Spirits and an invisible ntal storm erged between them.
The Sixth Tier Venerable seated in the underground chamber abruptly let out a muffled groan, with two streams of blood trickling from his nose.
In a confrontation on the level of Spirits, Zi Liyuan completely overwheld his counterpart, making this Sixth Tier being feel an intense threat of death.
Wielding overwhelming strength, he intimidated the other side and simultaneously inford Ziyun Pavilion not to act rashly; otherwise, he wouldn't hesitate to obliterate Ziyun Pavilion as well.
Just at that mont, a faint red mist began to rise from the ground.
The red mist surged like a spring, continuously rising from the earth, and in an instant, it shrouded the entire surface of Tianxiang City.
