C146

Black Swordsman.

Those three unfamiliar words were branded in the depths of Li Yi's heart. Looking at him, it was as if he was looking at another figure.

Is that you?

Li Yi really wanted to ask.

The black sun was getting closer and closer, covering the sky and covering the sun. The entire Mount Daliang was filled with fear.

On this day, another large group of people wearing black colored clothes and cloaks arrived.

A middle aged man with a jaw full of beard was startled when he saw Li Yi, and immediately frowned.

"It's him."

"The little boy that escaped from the ancient city five years ago is actually still alive." The few men discussed in a low voice, their expressions flickering with astonishment.

Five years ago, he was eight years old.

Now, five years had passed, and although he had grown quite a bit, his appearance hadn't changed much.

"Zhou, what are you doing?" The middle-aged man turned to the young man who had arrived earlier, his tone somewhat reproachful.

So his name was Zhou?

And his name was Zhuang?

But five years ago, what happened? What kind of place was the ancient city?

Li Yi did not say a word, and quietly stood behind Zhou.

Zhou laughed, "Master, he is the son of the Heavenly Saint!"

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "The Heavenly Sage has already betrayed the Ancient City. Five years ago, he was no longer our Heavenly Sage."

"Ever since the Heavenly Saint left the Ancient City, there has been no more Heavenly Saints in the Ancient City. In these five years, no one has been able to wake up the Guardian Gods, and no one has been able to pull out that sword. Now that a catastrophe is about to befall, are we still going to be pedantic?"

A nation shall not be without a king for a day, nor shall a family be without a lord for a day.

Similarly, both their Mount Daliang and Ancient City needed a new Heavenly Saint. They needed to wake up the Guardian Gods, pull out that sword, and lead them to overcome this great disaster.

The middle-aged man's face was calm, "There's no need for that. A new Heavenly Saint will be born soon. He is the son of a sinner, so he doesn't have the qualifications to try."

Zhou You spoke up. "What if he did it?"

The man was silent. Everyone was silent.

Sin is not as great as that of his children. It is true that the Heavenly Sage was in the wrong and betrayed the Ancient City, but his son was innocent. If he had the ability to become a Heavenly Sage, why did he stop him?

It had to be known that they had not reached the Heavenly Sage Stage in five years.

Zhou continued, "The Ancient City has already been selected for five years. In terms of total Mount Daliang, from infants who just walked to the point where they almost stepped into the depths of the earth, no one was able to succeed. Why not let him try?"

The more he said, the more excited he became. "Do you see that black sun overhead? "It's getting closer and closer. Could it be that the lord wants to see it drown our hometown?"

No one spoke, and even the group of plain villagers were like this. It was as if they never would have thought that the little boy who once fled into the village would have such an astonishing origin.

Heavenly Saint!

This was the emperor who governed over the entire Mount Daliang, and the youngster in front of him was actually his son.

"Milord."

Zhou said in a low voice while looking at him, as if he was expecting something.

After a long while, the man raised his head and sighed, "Do you know that without the consent of the elders, he doesn't even have the right to enter the Ancient City?"

Zhou looked at him. "That's why I'm looking for you."

The middle-aged man fell silent again. If the son of the Heavenly Saint was able to pull out that sword, then there would be no more controversy about him becoming the Heavenly Saint. Even the elders would have no choice but to make this choice.

But what if he couldn't pull it out? With his identity exposed, who could save him? And he himself had also been implicated!

However, when he thought about it carefully, the black sun was hanging in the sky and was getting closer and closer. Why not give it a try? So what if he was expelled from Ancient City?

"Put it on."

The middle-aged man came back to his senses, waved his hand, and took out a set of black pigment clothes.

That was the first time Li Yi wore such a strange attire. Even though it was wide, the cloak was not stable.

Finally, after waving goodbye to the villagers, he set off for the Ancient City.

Different from the outside world, the transportation here was simple and scary. They were all ferocious looking Vicious Beast s, but their speed was very fast.

Zhou's mount was a cold purple horse. It had a long horn on its head, and its body was sturdy. It moved its hooves and traveled several li. Its speed was unbelievably fast.

Zhou sat behind the horse, and Li Yi was right in front of him.

In just a few short hours, the purple horse stopped, its front hooves raised, and its body shook violently. Li Yi, who did not have the time to grab the reins, was thrown off, and smashed into the ground with his face covered in dust.

It turned around, its bewitching eyes seemed to know how to speak, as if it was mocking Li Yi, and also seemed to be displaying something to Li Yi, looking very pleased with itself.

Immemorial Heavenly Beast, descendant of Heavenly Horses, Purple Lightning Horse.

After Li Yi stabilized his body, his stomach started to churn, to the point of vomiting his heart out, at the same time, he quietly remembered the name.

"Ah Zi." Zhou grabbed the reins, looked reproachfully at the Lightning Horse, and jumped down: "Are you alright?"

Li Yi shook his head, took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

Very quickly, the other Black Swordsman riders arrived on their mounts one after another. Including the middle-aged man, whose mount was a demonic beast of deep red color.

"Let's go!"

When everyone was gathered, the middle-aged man spoke.

With a crashing sound, the large group of mounts turned around and disappeared into the vast mountains.

Li Yi revealed an astonished expression, as he couldn't help but recall the fear he had towards Mount Daliang from the outside world.

Then, he turned around, and a majestic ancient city appeared before Li Yi's eyes. Looking at the ancient city in front of him, he was stunned, and was filled with shock.

The distance from here to the ancient city was still several li, but looking from here, the ancient city was still as majestic as ever. It was shockingly tall, and seemed like a giant from ancient times.

Standing here, Li Yi deeply felt his own insignificance.

Zhou came over and whispered, "Follow behind me. When you enter the city, lower your cloak a bit. Don't let anyone see your face."

Li Yi came back to reality and replied.

How high were the walls?

Li Yi didn't know, but from his perspective, it was at least eight hundred meters tall, completely black. As for what was used to make it, he couldn't tell.

Great ancient city.

He silently remembered these three words as he thought of the ancient battlefield. Could there be some sort of connection between the two?

"Pay attention, don't be in a daze." Zhou's voice rang in his ears.

In front of the huge city gate, there were many people dressed in this way guarding it, checking every single person who wanted to enter the ancient city. The only difference was, they didn't have cloaks, as if these cloaks symbolized something.

Indeed, as expected, they, with their cloaks on, didn't even need to check them out before entering the city.

Once inside the city, Li Yi was once again stunned by the scene inside the city.

In addition to Human Clan, there were also a few oddly-shaped Demonic Beast, half human, half beasts, and even some tall and mighty giants.

Li Yi also noticed that some of the items sold by the hawkers on the street had all kinds of characteristics, looking extremely ancient and full of an ancient charm.

Among them, there was the blood of the dragon, the roots of the snow lotus, the Sky Demon Fruit, and the aura of primal chaos … All treasures were available.

At this moment, he was in a daze. He actually felt like a country bumpkin entering a city.

"Let's go." Zhou tugged at him.

"Oh." Li Yi reacted and quickly followed.
