"Is this the dwelling of that Qi-training cultivator?"
Luoyu City Lord looked at the secluded courtyard hundreds of ters away, his expression indifferent as he turned his gaze towards the two kneeling figures on the ground.
Kneeling on the ground were none other than Miao Yu, who had previously had dealings with Shen Yuan, and the broker who had sold the courtyard.
Miao Yu was just an ordinary person, and the broker had barely stepped into the Essence Refining Stage. To the ordinary people they dealt with, Qi-training cultivators were already the highest they could reach; how could they have ever witnessed a scene like this before?
As the Spirit Transmutation great cultivator who oversaw seven cities within a thousand li, stood above in the sky, nearly dozens of rarely seen Qi-training cultivators gathered below him.
All gazes converged on the two, imdiately causing them to break out in sweat as they hastily responded:
"Reporting to Lord City Master, the courtyard he purchased is indeed this place."
Luoyu City Lord nodded, a slight smile finally appearing on his cold face.
Just recently, when it was confird that the murderer of those three people was likely to have taken away the Ti Exotic Treasure, several Spirit Transmutation great cultivators present mobilized forces from all sides to search.
Although many cultivators headed to the site of the anomaly, Shen Yuan’s solitary action against the current to Luoyu City still caught the attention of many cultivators. After a little investigation, Shen Yuan’s foothold in Luoyu City was confird.
And following this clue, they logically found Miao Yu and the broker and the dwelling where Shen Yuan resided.
Feeling sowhat reassured, Luoyu City Lord looked towards a Qi-training cultivator by his side.
"How goes the investigation?"
The Qi-training cultivator respectfully spoke:
"Reporting to Lord City Master, according to the surrounding residents, the cultivator has remained behind closed doors ever since moving into this courtyard.
Combining this with the traces from our previous search, it’s very likely that the cultivator suffered heavy injuries under the anomaly and has been recuperating during this ti of seclusion."
Before Luoyu City Lord could speak, another Spirit Transmutation cultivator beside him scoffed:
"Capturing a re Qi Training Stage cultivator, even if he hasn’t been injured, is as easy as reaching out our hands."
"The only concern is the exotic treasure that may be in his hands. However, the rarer the exotic treasure, the more difficult it is to refine. A Qi-training cultivator wouldn’t have been able to ta the exotic treasure in such a short ti anyway."
Upon hearing this, Luoyu City Lord addressed all the cultivators present:
"My gratitude is boundless for everyone’s help in searching for the thief who stole the Ti Exotic Treasure. I will later present a generous gift to all present.
As for the remaining matters, those are the private affairs of Luoyu City, and I would ask everyone else to please step back for a while."
As his words fell, accompanied by a flash of spiritual light, everyone sensed the imnse city protecting array formation quietly rising within the entirety of Luoyu City, an invisible pressure weighing on everyone’s hearts.
This was the city protecting array established by the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty, with its foundation rooted in the common people, and cities like Luoyu were scattered throughout the Great Yin.
The ostensibly massive array within the city was in reality just a single node of the actual Mortal Path Array, with countless arrays throughout Great Yin interconnected, outlining the grand Mortal Path Array that spread over the entire Great Yin region.
Even as a single node, it ultimately was part of the Mortal Path Array.
Within the bounds of the array, Luoyu City Lord could easily suppress most cultivators below Spirit Refining.
"Luoyu City Lord, how dare you!"
"Dishonorable and unfaithful!"
"Do you intend to monopolize the Ti Exotic Treasure for yourself?"
Luoyu City Lord swept his gaze over everyone with an indifferent and proud expression, saying:
"Rest assured, I would not be so foolish as to hoard the Ti Exotic Treasure for myself.
I have already reported this matter to the Huayu Mountain God. This treasure will be offered to the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch at the great sacrifice of Donghuang. This precious item is already in the bag of the Donghuang Divine System."
"I know behind so of you may stand a certain high-ranking individual of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty, a certain undying noble family, or perhaps a certain world-renowned Grotto Heavens Sacred Land.
You seek the Ti Exotic Treasure to present it to the powerful figures backing you.
But this is the Donghuang Domain, everything within the Donghuang Domain belongs to the Donghuang Divine System. Before the arrival of the Huayu Mountain God, I ask that you all please take a rest!"
With a wave of Luoyu City Lord’s long sleeves, nurous ghost emissaries and shadow soldiers appeared, with the City God’s divine embodint presiding over the array to suppress the great cultivators of the other cities.
Luoyu City Lord turned towards the secluded courtyard, slowly reaching out with his right hand.
Just then, a flippant voice suddenly rang out.
"Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures belong to those with virtue, and even the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty wouldn’t dare claim that exotic treasures born within Great Yin are their own.
Since when did the small Donghuang Divine System beco so bold?"
Luoyu City Lord’s face tensed, and he imdiately looked towards the sky with alarm.
There appeared a young cultivator wearing a golden light Taoist robe and holding the Jinyang Precious Mirror, walking through the city protecting array as if it were non-existent, his Taoist robe fluttering freely.
If one could use spiritual sight, they would see strands of sect fortune entwining the young cultivator with the precious mirror, warding off the influence of the city protecting array.
"Golden light Taoist robe, Jinyang Precious Mirror! You are a true disciple of one of the 36 Little Grotto Heavens, the Jinhua Dongyuan Heavens!"
The expression of Luoyu City Lord changed drastically, unable to help but exclaim.
Not just Luoyu City Lord, but the other city lords were also visibly shaken, looking at the young cultivator with a mix of awe in their eyes.
The 10 Great Grotto Heavens Sacred Lands of the Primal Chaos Realm, the 36 Little Grotto Heavens, all had Upper Realm Tao Doctrine inheritance. Within their gates, current life True Immortals resided, their influence extending far beyond the bounds of the Primal Chaos Realm.
Many Grotto Heavens Sacred Lands waged wars on multiple mid and minor diverse worlds, cultivating these worlds into subordinate realms for their Sects, and many of their distinguished disciples were selected from these subordinate worlds.
