The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2257: 2246: Earthshaking Upheaval

Deep within a woodland far removed from the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

Even after fleeing the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, Li Yuanmu, Jin Hongsheng, and Luo Qianjiang kept up their furious pace. They only halted once they had put the city far behind them.

Right now.

These three elders wore grim expressions. Their eyelids fluttered wildly, and their chests rose and fell heavily.

A sharp “bang!” rang out.

Jin Hongsheng himself shattered the Communication Jade Token in his grasp, reducing it to fine white dust.

Ye Chenfeng’s voice transmission had reached the ears of all three clearly. They believed they had secured an escape route for Ye Chenfeng. Even if he refused to yield at once, he surely wouldn’t slaughter Luo Youfang and the rest immediately. Yet, against all odds, Ye Chenfeng defied their hopes, hastening the deaths of Luo Youfang and his companions.

Numerous individuals had ventured into the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin this time, but only these three made it out alive? Even Sun Changnian and Lin Shouping perished, despite their elite skills in Alchemy and Artifact Refining across Central State. This represented a devastating blow for them.

After several deep breaths to steady himself, Li Yuanmu spoke in a hushed tone, “This time, we underestimated Ye Chenfeng far too greatly. We believed our preparations were solid, yet this mishap occurred. Still, with countless cultivators slain inside the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, more powers should flock to our Alliance. Soon enough, the Nine Nether Ice Lion Tribe and the ancient Demon Vine will pose no real danger.”

Li Yuanmu abruptly halted, then pressed on, “However, those two girls in the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin wielding Quicksand of Death—their backgrounds must be extraordinary! To think Ye Chenfeng managed to attract such figures.”

Frowning, Luo Qianjiang nodded and replied, “Those two girls likely hail from the realm beyond Central Continent. Folk from that realm seldom descend, and they typically steer clear of Central State matters. As long as we spare those two girls, their kin shouldn’t trouble us much, especially if we offer a lavish apology gift.”

Jin Hongsheng chimed in, “Luo Qianjiang makes a valid point. This boy knows those two girls somewhat, but their elders wouldn’t recognize him. They’d have no reason to defend him.”

“For the moment, let’s depart this place and broadcast the events from the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin. Inform other Sects that Ye Chenfeng and his allies are ruthless butchers, stirring fear in them; they’ll inevitably align with our Alliance.”

“People always follow the crowd, and with more Sects swelling our Alliance ranks, the undecided ones will ultimately side with us as well.”

Jin Hongsheng and Luo Qianjiang both endorsed Li Yuanmu’s logic. As they prepared to depart and execute the scheme,

a thunderous “boom!” shook the skies and earth alike. The ground quaked fiercely, narrowing the eyes of Li Yuanmu and his two companions in bewilderment over the cause.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” kept reverberating.

Tremors grew more intense, drawing the stares of Li Yuanmu and the others westward. Astonishingly, the western sky appeared torn asunder.

Enormous fissures rent the far-off western heavens, resembling voracious, bloody maws.

Though Li Yuanmu and his group beheld this spectacle, the fractured sky lay at a great remove from their position.

As they stood mutely contemplating.

From the distant west, colossal black energy vortexes erupted skyward from the earth, plunging into the vast dark rifts overhead.

The extreme distance prevented Li Yuanmu and the others from perceiving it sharply. They shared instinctive looks, and Luo Qianjiang inquired, “What’s going on? Might a treasure have surfaced in the west?”

Li Yuanmu responded hesitantly, “Unclear if it’s a treasure, but we must avoid charging straight west. This colossal disturbance could spawn all sorts of shifts. In any case, summon every Sect elder from seclusion; we must hurry back at once.”

At the same time.

Across the expansive square in the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

Ye Chenfeng, Bai Xiaorou, and their companions had likewise observed the colossal upheavals to the west. The Ancient City of Heavenly Origin’s grounds now shuddered. This cataclysmic event signaled either a treasure’s emergence, a secret realm’s unveiling, or looming peril. It had undoubtedly roused nearly every cultivator in Central State.

Standing next to Ye Chenfeng, Zhao Jinpeng remarked, “Clan Leader, Central State appears far from peaceful right now! I believe turmoil is stirring in the west, and turmoil always hides chances. Clan Leader, will you go check it out?”

Yun Rong joined in as well, “Brother Ye, we've all witnessed the shifts in the west; no one else in Central State could have ignored them. Heading there guarantees meetings with ancestors from places like Xiao Yao Palace and various Sects. Brother, that journey westward won't be simple—it's brimming with perils.”

For Ye Chenfeng at present, boosting his power remains vital. Facing potential opportunities on the horizon, how could he let them slip? He declared, “I have to visit the spot of the western chaos. I'll proceed with caution, yet first, I must reorganize the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin to safeguard its residents at the very least.”

“Some among you may join me to probe the west, but someone needs to guard the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.”

At Ye Chenfeng's words, excitement surged through the group, all itching to go. Bai Xiaorou gripped Ye Chenfeng even tighter, her determination to follow clear. Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan moved forward to stand by Ye Chenfeng too.

Jiang Caixuan declared, “Ye Chenfeng, don't block us this time. We're eager to explore the western site of upheaval. We want to see it for ourselves.”

Wu Lingxiang kept quiet, her gaze locked on Ye Chenfeng with unwavering resolve. Ye Chenfeng could only consent. Turning to those nearby, he announced, “Let's reorganize the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin first. By tomorrow, I'll select who comes with me to the west.”
