Chapter 1042: Chapter 134 Sacred Body_3
Zhao Yu was well aware that Mo Cai’er’s level progress was solely hindered by the lack of cultivation resources, but now with him present, and with ample resources, he planned to properly assist Mo Cai’er in her cultivation.
A week later, Yin Zhengyi formally handed over the city lord’s seal, and to their surprise, the new appointees to Luo Feng City turned out to be five Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
One city lord, four deputy city lords.
Even more unimaginable was that all five of these people were at the late Nascent Soul Stage.
“The Fatal Five!”
Yin Zhengyi’s voice was sowhat distorted as he whispered to Zhao Yu, “You must be careful. These five are quintuplets and are exceptionally skilled at fighting as one….”
...
“There is a rumor that they once jointly withstood a strike from a Divinity Transformation powerhouse; by Nascent Soul standards, they are invincible….”
This only made him more certain that his earlier decision had been correct.
After all, if he had taken Zhao Yu with him when leaving, they would surely be dood if these five ca after them.
But now, he could only reluctantly leave Zhao Yu to face these five alone.
As the new city lord assud office, Zhao Yu, as a guest elder at the city lord’s mansion, was naturally present.
All factions within the city, without exception, submitted obediently.
The five late Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were certainly beyond Zhao Yu and Yin Zhengyi’s capacity to contend with—they were well aware of this fact.
However, what was interesting was that these five seed to have no particular mission upon arriving; they simply settled down in the city lord’s mansion after assuming office and did not trouble Zhao Yu.
This indeed left many people puzzled, unsure whether these five were sent with the directive of the State Preceptor to eliminate threats by rooting them out.
However, for Zhao Yu, these matters were of no importance.
Upon seeing the cultivators’ level progress, he quietly made a breakthrough to the early Divinity Transformation Stage.
He himself was alright; his main concern was to guard against these five potentially targeting his woman.
After all, his woman was still at the Golden Core Stage and Foundation Establishnt Stage, and would undoubtedly perish if attacked by Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
While Zhao Yu was unclear about the intentions of these five, Yin Zhengyi had already reached the new city and discovered their situations.
Perhaps to alleviate his guilt, he found so crucial information this ti.
“These five are here due to a nearby secret realm….”
“I received news that soone from the Heavenly Tomb calculated that there is a secret realm where a Divinity Transformation cultivator perished near Luo Feng City….”
“These five probably do not wish to kill you too soon; otherwise, there would be no reason for them to stay in Luo Feng City….”
“So, are they planning to raid that secret realm, reap its benefits, and then make their move?”
Zhao Yu suddenly understood and then inquired about the opening ti of that secret realm.
“I do not know the exact ti. However, for such a secret realm, which has been deduced to exist, it is still difficult to locate….”
“Even if it is found, opening it is not easy!”
This information was quite tily. Now that Zhao Yu understood the five’s purpose, he wasn’t worried any longer and resud living a peaceful life.
While Zhao Yu enjoyed peace, Luo Feng City began to bustle.
His status as a Divine Body had attracted many cultivators, including quite a few at the Nascent Soul Stage who wanted to make Zhao Yu’s acquaintance.
Zhao Yu did not reject these overtures; after all, they were Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, and provoking their emotions could yield considerable energy.
However, among these people, there were two whom Zhao Yu found rather unexpected.
“I am Shi Hao from Mount Kunlun. Having heard that Brother Zhao is a Divine Body, I wish to challenge you to a duel. How about it?”
Apart from Shi Hao, there was also Saintess Qin Yao from the Turquoise Pool, who seed eager to asure her strength against Zhao Yu.
After soone explained it to him, Zhao Yu finally realized that these two, one a Sacred Body and the other a God Body, were renown like his own Divine Body.
But the problem was that he wasn’t truly a Divine Body, so why would there be such resonance with them?
From their expressions, Zhao Yu could see that they were very proud, generally disdaining ordinary people.
But similarly, they were also very lonely, lacking peers who could stand on the sa level as them.
In their eyes, Zhao Yu, as a Divine Body, was a peer.
“The na of the Sacred Body is well-known. Although my cultivation level is comparable to Brother Shi, I am not adept at combat, and I’m afraid I might disappoint you….”
Zhao Yu naturally had no intention of fighting; such aningless combat was unnecessary.
“Are you scared?” Shi Hao taunted.
Zhao Yu smiled slightly, “Yes, I am scared. After all, you are a Sacred Body, and I am but a re Divine Body. We can skip this fight!”
“You….”
Shi Hao was stunned. He hadn’t expected Zhao Yu to lack any fighting spirit and to concede so readily.
The Nascent Soul Stage cultivators present were also taken aback, not expecting Zhao Yu to fall short of his reputation.
Not just Shi Hao, but Qin Yao of the Turquoise Pool also showed an indescribably disappointed expression.
“Even as a Divine Body, you are not worthy to stand alongside us….”
She shook her head slightly, seemingly in disdain, then turned to Shi Hao and said lightly, “Sacred Body, I am of the Ice Clear God Body, am I qualified to fight you?”
“Good, good, good!”
Shi Hao’s eyes sparkled, “Being able to battle a God Body, this trip won’t be a loss!”
With that said, he pulled out a golden staff from the void, and a terrifying presence suddenly spread out.
The surrounding Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, although of the sa rank, all retreated involuntarily, overwheld by the aura.
