The Great Wilderness City Lord ascended to the sky, exuding an invigorating spirit. In his entire life, he had never felt so proud in these past few days. Since purchasing the formation diagram from a senior, he spared no expense, spending a vast amount of spirit stones to acquire materials for the formation. Finally, within three days, he successfully set up a Holy Lord Grade formation.
With this formation, even if a Holy Lord-level figure came, they would have to behave politely. Otherwise… once the formation was activated, regardless of their means, they would have to endure its overwhelming power!
Hmm… If it was a Holy Lord from a Holy Land, he would still act cautiously. However, for Holy Lords from small or medium-sized sects, he wouldn't hesitate.
Three days passed, and Great Wilderness City remained calm. This left the Great Wilderness City Lord somewhat regretful. In the past, there were often troublesome figures who disrespected Great Wilderness City, and he had to handle them politely, wearing a smiling face. But today, he had a trump card.
Those who used to provoke trouble seemed to have an unspoken agreement. None of them came to Great Wilderness City anymore. It gave him a feeling as if he had gathered strength for a punch that landed on cotton. Heaven was merciful. Just as he was about to dismiss this thought…
Finally! Someone invaded Great Wilderness City, flying through the sky without paying any attention to it. Today, if he didn't establish his authority against this person, wouldn't the prestige of the Great Wilderness City Lord be trampled?
The Great Wilderness City Lord stood with hands behind his back, his round figure exuding a dignified aura. In the void, he walked with a steady gait, step by step.
"Who dares to be so arrogant in Great Wilderness City?"
The Great Wilderness City Lord glared, looking down on the world, his words powerful. In the corner of his eye, he swept over the broken body of a white jade Unicorn on the ground.
His heart skipped a beat. It seemed… such a rare monster, with a high status among the demon race. Did the formation killed a demonic beast?
His gaze wandered again. The Great Wilderness City Lord saw a broken flag, although shattered, the writing on it was vaguely discernible. Great Yin! And behind the flag was a bronze carriage.
"Damn it!"
After holding back for a long time, the Great Wilderness City Lord couldn't help but curse. It seemed like he had kicked an iron plate! A white jade Unicorn pulled a carriage, bearing the words 'Great Yin,' the symbol of the Great Yin Dynasty, his top-level superior that he had to pay tribute to every year! This… was challenging the authority of the Great Yin Dynasty?
"Great Wilderness City Lord, you've got quite the courage!"
At this moment, a booming shout resounded. The commander beside Bei Chenheng couldn't endure any longer. The sword from earlier was merely three inches away from him, and he was nearly scared to the point of wetting himself. He even smelled the scent of death! This was an experience he had never had before – walking on the edge of life and death.
The commander walked out with large strides, his expression gloomy. In a cold tone, he said, "Great Wilderness City Lord, do you know who stands before you?"
"Ni… Ninth Prince?" The Great Wilderness City Lord felt anxious. Why was he so unlucky? He only wanted to establish authority, but he never expected to encounter the Ninth Prince of the Great Yin Dynasty!
The Great Yin Dynasty was powerful, comparable to a regular Holy Land. The current God Emperor had ruled for over five thousand years, and although his first eight sons had died prematurely, the ninth one survived. If he hadn't stopped the formation just now, the Ninth Prince might have become a pile of flesh by now!
At that moment… the end of the Great Yin Dynasty's Imperial line… just thinking about it made him shudder.
"Since you know, why don't you…"
The commander was about to say something when Bei Chenheng suddenly stepped forward, raising a hand to halt the commander's next words. Then, Bei Chenheng took a step forward, waving his hand slightly, and said, "Previously, it was this prince who arrived unannounced. It had nothing to do with Great Wilderness City Lord. Commander Chen, there's no need to make a fuss."
"Hmm...?" Commander Chen widened his eyes, as if witnessing something unbelievable. When did his Highness become so accommodating? Something was not right. Could it be… he had been possessed in the formation just now?
"Thank you, Your Highness Ninth Prince!" The Great Wilderness City Lord was overjoyed.
Although he met the legendary Ninth Prince for the first time, he found that the prince was surprisingly easy to talk to, even more polite than disciples from ordinary Holy Lands. There was no arrogance at all.
One must know that the Ninth Prince was a figure of the same generation as Ren Qingtu, equivalent to an elder or Sect Master in some Holy Lands. Such a person being willing to communicate was considered incredibly fortunate.
"Your Highness, this is not the place for conversation. Please move to the City Lord's Mansion. Let me entertain you properly," the Great Wilderness City Lord hospitably suggested.
"No rush," Bei Chenheng waved his hand. He looked towards the sky and calmly said, "The killing formation just now, was it set up by the City Lord?"
"This…" The Great Wilderness City Lord's face froze for a moment. Unconsciously, he glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
"Is there any difficulty?" Bei Chenheng asked in a gentle and polite manner, smiling. "If there is, the City Lord need not speak; it's fine."
"No, no!" The Great Wilderness City Lord shook his head repeatedly. After a pause, he said softly, "To be honest, I bought this formation from a senior."
"Oh?" Bei Chenheng's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected it. He asked knowingly, "Which senior?"
"The master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion," the Great Wilderness City Lord said in a low voice.
