The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2352 - 2341: Scattered! Arrival!
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
Ye Chenfeng's meridians had been sealed prior. Although unlocking them to circulate the Spiritual Qi River within was a simple matter, the dense dead aura and killing intent within his Dantian might still erupt. Experiencing demonization amidst such a violent storm would be detrimental. Consequently, unable to channel even a sliver of spiritual energy, Ye Chenfeng was carried by the storm, rapidly moving towards the right side of this expansive white void, putting distance between himself and Wu Lingxiang, Bai Xiaorou, and the others.
The storms within this entire white space intensified, and the gap between Ye Chenfeng, Wu Lingxiang, Bai Xiaorou, Jiang Caixuan, and Zhao Jinpeng widened until they were entirely out of sight of one another. Caught in one of the colossal storms that permeated this white expanse, Ye Chenfeng felt a peculiar pull on his person. His brows knitted in a tight frown; he had not anticipated such a complication before even setting foot in the Ancient Realm.
Continually tossed by the immense tempest, his head spun, and his vision blurred. Eventually, a white rift materialized behind him, and he was unceremoniously dragged into it.
Following Ye Chenfeng's forceful entry into the rift, Wu Lingxiang, Jiang Caixuan, Bai Xiaorou, and Zhao Jinpeng also found rifts appearing behind them, each being pulled into their respective openings.
As Ye Chenfeng and the others were each drawn into separate rifts, the scene shifted to the Ancient Realm.
Somewhere high in the sky, a two-story white Spirit Boat made swift progress through the air.
The sheer density of spiritual energy within the Ancient Realm was noticeably greater than in the Tian Xuan Realm, with lingering traces of an Ancient Era aura permeating the atmosphere.
Aboard this rapidly advancing white Spirit Boat, two elderly men, a young man, and a young woman stood on the upper deck.
Both of the elders were at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm. The elder with a rather somber expression was named Zhu Zhize, while the one with a friendlier demeanor was Cheng Yuanmu.
Zhu Zhize and Cheng Yuanmu hailed from distinct families. While they were considered revered ancestors within their own familial lines, their families held negligible standing in the Ancient Realm, even being affiliated with a larger, more powerful clan.
It was indeed remarkable within the Ancient Realm that two experts of the Initial Stage Divine King Realm were merely familial ancestors of unknown renown. In the Tian Xuan Realm, they would undoubtedly be counted among the elite of a top-tier force.
The young man standing near Zhu Zhize, clad in opulent white robes, occasionally cast covetous glances at the other young woman. He was Zhu Zhize's kin, Zhu Tianlei, respected as a prodigy within the Zhu family, possessing a cultivation at the late stage of the fifth level of the Earth God Realm.
Zhu Tianlei's prowess was substantial. Were he present in the Tian Xuan Realm, prodigies of his generation would likely be at the Spirit God Realm or the first level of the Earth God Realm at most; yet, he had already reached the late stage of the fifth level of the Earth God Realm.
It truly seems the Tian Xuan Realm pales in comparison to the Ancient Realm.
The young woman beside Cheng Yuanmu, dressed in elegant blue silk attire, her dark hair flowing past her shoulders, possessed a pure and captivating beauty. She was Cheng Yuanmu's junior, Cheng Yiyao, whose cultivation rested at the initial stage of the fifth level of the Earth God Realm.
The families of Zhu Zhize and Cheng Yuanmu, the Zhus and the Chengs respectively, were both subservient to a clan known as the Zhous.
Rumor had it that the ancestor of the Zhous was a half-step Divine Venerable, mere inches away from attaining the Divine Venerable Realm.
Even within the Ancient Realm, a half-step Divine Venerable is regarded as exceptionally powerful. Despite being only one step shy of the Divine Venerable Realm, the might of a half-step Divine Venerable far surpasses that of a Peak Divine King Realm expert.
Furthermore, with Zhu Zhize and Cheng Yuanmu being the strongest in their respective Zhu and Cheng families, it was only natural for them to seek affiliation with a more formidable clan.
Despite both the Zhu and Cheng families being tributaries to the Zhous, a palpable animosity existed between them. This time, with another ancestor of the Zhous ascending to the half-step Divine Venerable level, a grand banquet was scheduled to be held in ten days. As affiliates, the Zhu and Cheng families were naturally expected to attend and present a suitable gift to the Zhous.
By sheer coincidence, mere days prior, both the Zhu and Cheng families had stumbled upon a valley that had been concealed by a Formation, containing a variety of valuable treasures.
Neither family opted to inform the Zhous of their discovery. Zhu Zhize and Cheng Yuanmu intended to explore the valley themselves, hoping to find an appropriate gift, and only planned to report to the Zhous after securing what they desired.
When faced with significant benefits,
the animosity between the Zhu and Cheng families was temporarily set aside.
While Zhu Zhize, Cheng Yuanmu, Zhu Tianlei, and Cheng Yiyao maintained their silence, the Spirit Boat under their feet surged forward with great speed.
Suddenly, a dark speck appeared in the sky ahead, descending at an alarming rate.
As the Spirit Boat glided past, this dark speck landed squarely on the second deck.
Consequently, the attention of Zhu Zhize and his companions shifted towards this newly arrived figure.
The individual who plummeted from the heavens was none other than Ye Chenfeng! His attire was in tatters, and his consciousness was still a bit hazy!
He shook his head sharply, and sensing the potent spiritual Qi that was far denser than in the Central Continent, he became certain of his arrival in the Ancient Realm. A quick scan of his surroundings revealed no trace of Bai Xiaorou or the others, leading him to realize they must have been dispersed to various corners of this realm.
As Ye Chenfeng's gaze landed upon Zhu Zhize, Cheng Yuanmu, and the others aboard the Spirit Boat,
Zhu Zhize, Cheng Yuanmu, and the rest also redirected their scrutiny onto Ye Chenfeng. A sense of unease washed over them regarding this person who had abruptly fallen from the sky. When their spiritual senses probed Ye Chenfeng, they detected no discernible aura, making him appear as an ordinary mortal, which somewhat lessened their apprehension.
Recollecting his dramatic descent from the heavens, Zhu Zhize and Cheng Yuanmu exchanged contemplative glances. A moment later, Zhu Zhize inquired with a cold tone, "Did you travel from the Central Continent to our Ancient Realm? Were you perhaps swept into the chaotic passage to the Ancient Realm by accident?"
