The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2261 - 2250: You’re Dead for Sure

Once Ye Chenfeng and his companions snapped back to reality,

they discovered they were in a tremendously expansive clearing.

This clearing's boundaries were barricaded by towering walls soaring hundreds of meters upward, with even their summits sealed tight. One could call this vast space a fully sealed enclosure.

Individuals who had stepped in earlier, such as Luo Qianhai and Hua Wanchuan, were already there too. Counting both Divine King Realm and Heavenly God Realm experts, roughly a hundred entrants filled the area this time.

Though their headwear and facial coverings had vanished, Luo Qianhai and the rest were preoccupied scanning the environment! They still hadn't spotted Ye Chenfeng or Zhao Jinpeng.

The atmosphere inside this sealed zone felt rather stifling. Those encircling lofty walls consisted of unique substances, probably inscribed with potent runes inside, rendering them unbreakable even by Divine King Realm powerhouses. No alternative pathways existed. Without discovering an escape, all would remain imprisoned forever.

Upon passing through the colossal stone gateway, Ye Chenfeng sensed the spatial principles nearby clamping down. Contact with the Chaos Ring became impossible, a truly ominous development. With hat and mask now absent, concealment options were nil. Should Li Yuanmu and his allies detect them, an assault to slay would surely follow. At their present power level, resisting Li Yuanmu's crew was out of the question.

While Ye Chenfeng mulled over countermeasures in his thoughts,

the airspace overhead abruptly warped intensely. Gradually, it ripped open, exposing a massive dark rift to all eyes below.

Moments later.

A thunderous "Boom!" resounded.

Out of that enormous dark fissure burst a colossal "帝" symbol.

Crafted from an extraordinary force, this "帝" symbol floated majestically aloft, radiating bursts of holy power everywhere. Once it materialized, the giant rift overhead sealed shut.

The massive pale "帝" symbol exuded overwhelming imperial dignity. Spotting it, Luo Qianhai, Hua Wanchuan, and fellow Sect disciples on site couldn't suppress their thrill. Its manifestation left no doubt—this was a Divine Emperor’s tomb. Their stares locked firmly on the airborne "帝" symbol.

Yet inside Ye Chenfeng’s sea of consciousness, the elder white Wu Fengxian and elder black Jiang Yuntian felt perplexed. Elder black Jiang Yuntian remarked, "Kid, something feels off! Everything’s progressed too seamlessly, from your easy passage via the stone door to this ’帝’ symbol’s debut, like someone’s purposely tricking us into thinking it’s a Divine Emperor’s tomb."

"Divine Emperor Realm experts typically arrange their own tombs prior to passing. Breaching a Divine Emperor’s tomb isn’t simple. But they barely exerted themselves to shove open the stone door—that’s suspicious. What Divine Emperor Realm expert would invite intruders into their resting place?"

"Naturally, this is just speculation from old white and myself. Certainty eludes us for now; it might genuinely be a Divine Emperor’s tomb. Should that prove true, stay vigilant, for a Divine Emperor welcoming entrants spells ulterior motives. Remain on high alert, kid!"

Luo Qianhai’s crew gleaned no insights from the "帝" symbol, thus they continued surveying the area, seeking an exit to properly access the Divine Emperor’s tomb.

Right then,

Li Yuanmu, Luo Qianjiang, and Jin Hongsheng at last caught sight of Ye Chenfeng and Zhao Jinpeng. Rage surged across their features first, followed by mocking grins.

Li Yuanmu bellowed icily, "Ye Chenfeng, who’d have thought you’d have the guts to show up here? Courting death? Our prior oversight let you rescue the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin. You won’t get that lucky again, will you?"

Everyone on site heard Li Yuanmu’s words, turning their attention toward Ye Chenfeng and his companion.

Hua Wanchuan, Luo Qianhai, and Zhao Wanzhong among them squinted sharply—this marked their initial meeting with Ye Chenfeng.

Hua Wanchuan’s gaze flashed with keen menace; Ye Chenfeng had caused the deaths of his kin, Hua Liukong and Hua Changsheng. Hatred boiled within him naturally. In a flash, Peak Divine King Realm pressure exploded outward as he roared, "The path to heaven is open, yet you refuse to take it. There’s no door to hell, yet you choose to barge in. Are you eager to die? I’d be more than willing to grant you that wish!"

Luo Qianhai's features crumpled like a withered bloom as he demanded coldly, "Is this the lad who played you like fools? Daring to lay a hand on my descendant, I don’t see any three heads or six arms on him."

Zhao Wanzhong's fist balled up in an instant, veins bulging across the back of his hand. His brother Zhao Wanfu had been slain, bound to him by unbreakable ties. A profound grudge burned within him against Ye Chenfeng.

Right when Li Yuanmu and the rest paused their hunt for the Divine Emperor’s tomb, poised to strike at Ye Chenfeng’s crew,

the "帝" symbol overhead began quaking wildly. Bursts of white radiance erupted from it, each coalescing into a gigantic beam that swallowed up a person present, swiftly trapping every soul in their own isolated pillar of light.

These light pillars acted as unbreakable shields; Luo Qianhai’s allies battered at them futilely, stirring only faint ripples. None could break free from the white confines.

Soon enough.

A first-level Heavenly God Realm cultivator shrouded in one pillar blinked out of sight, no doubt whisked away by the light. Moments later, another first-level vanished, then second-level experts followed, dispatched in order of their cultivation strength.

The spots these folks were hurled to were undoubtedly the Divine Emperor’s tomb. Hua Wanchuan and his bunch could no longer lay a finger on Ye Chenfeng. Luo Qianhai bellowed, "Friends, if any of you run into this brat and his crew, and deliver their heads to us, you’ll gain us as allies. We’ll honor any request we’re able to grant down the line."

Hua Wanchuan and Jin Hongsheng swiftly backed Luo Qianhai’s declaration, as the remaining cultivators eyed Ye Chenfeng with gleaming avarice.

Luo Qianjiang fixed Ye Chenfeng with a savage stare, roaring, "Kid, you’re finished this time. You’re just trash from a Lower Plane; how dare you rampage in our Tian Xuan Realm?"
