Chapter 181: The Foundation of the Forces of the Central Plains, Heading to the Demon Subduing Mountain Range

Central Plains City, in front of the teleportation array of the Demon Subduing Mountain range.

Ji Tongtian, as the city lord, had been waiting here for a long time.

Behind him was a team of six people. All of them had extraordinary auras. Among them, the lowest was at the middle stage of the foundation establishment stage, and the highest was at the late stage of the foundation establishment stage.

It could be seen just how important City Lord Ji was to this trip to Demon Subduing Mountain.

At this moment, Su Yi had also arrived. After he saw the city lord, he directly walked over. Similarly, when the city lord saw Su Yi’s arrival, his eyes lit up.

When Su Yi arrived in front of him, Ji Tongtian indifferently said, “Su Yi, you have arrived.”

After he heard this, he lightly nodded and said, “it’s a little late. I hope the city lord can forgive me.”

The latter lightly smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was fine.

Then, Ji Tongtian turned around and introduced Su Yi’s identity to the people he brought with him. Instantly, he was targeted by a few burning gazes. Su Yi’s great name could be considered quite famous in Central Plains City.

Although his cultivation level was in the middle stage of the foundation establishment realm, who would dare to underestimate Su Yi’s strength?

That was an existence that surpassed those geniuses with immortal bodies.

Moreover, after joining the Tiandao Immortal sect, his future achievements would definitely be even greater. Regarding this, Su Yi could only rub his nose and smile awkwardly.

After Su Yi arrived, some teams also arrived one after another.

The first team came from a low-level force of a huge family in the central sky region.

The leader of the team was an old man. His aura was long and steady.

Moreover, among these people, almost all of them looked at those old men with respect.

When he saw this old man, Su Yi’s pupils constricted. This old man gave him a lot of pressure. The aura on their bodies was long and distant, making people unable to see through their realms.

This was not an existence that could be compared to the late stage of the foundation establishment stage. Were they at the perfect foundation establishment stage?

No, it was even more powerful than perfect foundation establishment. He had only felt this kind of feeling from Xuan Lingzi of the Sword Pavilion.

Little did he know that when Ji Tongtian saw these old men, his refined body actually trembled slightly, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Immediately, Ji Tongtian’s brows furrowed. He had thought that those factions would send cannon fodder.

But why would they send these people? This absolutely should not be the case, right?

He had been the city lord for many years, so he naturally recognized this figure.

Did the Fate Intercepting Pavilion not make two lists previously?

The Hidden Dragon list was targeted at those Heaven’s Favorites, and among them, the Heaven-seizing List was the one that talked about the group of elders.

Those elders were actually old monsters from every faction, and this included their forefathers.

They had suppressed their strength to the foundation establishment realm for hundreds of years. Those who did not know would think that they were afraid of the core formation lightning tribulation.

However, Ji Tongtian knew that these old fellows were not afraid of the core formation lightning tribulation. They were under orders to wait for the birth of that thing.

When he saw the birth of this old man, Ji Tongtian could feel that the exploration was likely to change.

If that thing really came into the world, this trip would definitely be filled with bloodshed.

One had to know that there was not only a central sky region faction coveting that thing.

At this moment, Su Yi’s gaze moved away from the old man. He looked at the city lord and discovered that there was something wrong with the city lord’s expression. It was as if he was very surprised by the appearance of these people.

Hence, he asked curiously, “city lord, who is that person? Why does he give off such a powerful oppressive feeling?”

At this moment, Ji Tongtian also regained his senses. He looked at Su Yi with a strange expression on his face. He had a feeling that he wanted to say something but hesitated.

In the end, he seemed to have given up on something as he spoke to him indifferently, “Su Yi, I’m afraid that this trip to Demon Subduing Mountain will not be very peaceful. When the time comes, be careful.”

Ji Tongtian patted Su Yi’s shoulder and did not say anything else. Although he had a thought in his heart, it was only a guess after all.

Su Yi was confused by these words. The one who asked him to go was Ji Tongtian, and the one who did not want him to get involved was also Ji Tongtian.

Very quickly, another group of people arrived late.

Ji Tongtian’s pupils constricted again. Compared to the group of people in front, Su Yi was familiar with this pair of people.

That familiar outfit and the waist tag with the words ‘Thousand’on it. If it was not someone from the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, then who was it? This time, the leader of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion was an unfathomable man in his prime.

However, Ji Tongtian’s gaze was not on the man in his prime. Instead, it was on the back of the man in his prime. There was an old man with a black hood draped over his head!

That’s right, it was another old man. This old man’s waist tag was not the Thousand Treasure Pavilion’s waist tag. If Su Yi could see his waist tag, he would definitely be able to understand that the cloaked old man was from the Lu clan.

After that, another group arrived. This group was extremely familiar to Su Yi. The leader of this group was the person who had chased after him previously.

Sword Pavilion, third elder Xuan Lingzi.

Sensing Su Yi’s gaze, Xuan Lingzi glanced at Su Yi indifferently. His eyes were filled with killing intent.

It was just that the existence of Ji Tongtian made it difficult for anyone to flare up.

He also stared coldly at the third elder of the Sword Pavilion. Both of their faces were ice-cold.

Ji Tongtian saw this situation. He looked at Su Yi and asked softly, “do you have any enmity with the Sword Pavilion?”

Su Yi nodded when he heard this. Ji Tongtian spoke indifferently when he saw Su Yi admit it.

“There is a shadow of the Xuan family in the central sky region behind the Sword Pavilion. You will definitely be targeted by them if you offend them. In that case, don’t stay too far away from us after you enter the Demon Subduing Mountain range. As the city lord of the Central Plains City, they will not act recklessly in front of me.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yi looked at Ji Tongtian with some surprise. Most people would stay as far away as possible if they knew about something like this. However, this City Lord Ji…

Although he did not know why, he still nodded his head gently. It could be considered that he now owed Ji Tongtian a favor.

At this moment, two teams had already arrived. The remaining teams had also arrived one after another.

Most of them were people Su Yi was not familiar with, but the ones leading them were almost all old men.

They were probably all old demons who had reached the foundation establishment realm or above. He really did not know why they had not broken through to the core formation realm for so long. Su Yi secretly ridiculed them.

Among these teams, there were no teams from the Nie family. The Nie family only came from a trading company in the Central Plains, so City Lord Ji had other arrangements for the Nie family.

Among the teams that came, there were a total of twelve teams, and among the nine teams, there were all those unfathomable old men.

Ji Tongtian’s face instantly darkened.

Now, he was almost 100% sure that that thing was about to come into being. Otherwise, it definitely would not attract these old monsters.

Sigh, it was yet another bloody journey. He only hoped that he could properly resolve the Demon Subduing Mountain matter.

“Everyone, let’s go!”
