Chapter 246 Ancient Holy CityAbove the clouds, there were quite a few people taking the same route as Xiao Yun and the other two. And judging from their flying speed, most of them were at the Dou Zong level or above, and a small number of them were even Dou Zun powerhouses, which made him shocked.
It’s not that I’m surprised at the strength of this group of people, but I’m surprised at the overall strength of the Eastern Region, or the Ancient Holy City.
Zhongzhou is a very strange continent. Unlike the Northwest Continent, the latter's power is evenly distributed. On average, each country has several Douhuangs and one Douzong.
But in Zhongzhou, it is very different. In some places, Dou Zun used to be the ceiling. You can just create a force and compete for the position of the Four Pavilions.
In some places, the powerful Dou Zun, let alone creating a power, can only be a gatekeeper!
For example, next they are going to the Ancient Holy City!
After flying in the sky for seven or eight minutes, the city outline that Xiao Yun had vaguely seen in the ancient stone square appeared very clearly in his field of vision.
The Ancient Holy City, as the city in the center of the Eastern Region, was not built in a very majestic and domineering way like most cities. Instead, it looked a bit decayed, like an old city that had not been repaired for many years.
The construction style of the entire city is relatively low-key. The entire city is built with light blue huge rocks. Judging from the appearance alone, no one would have thought that this is the entrance city to the ancient world.
As the distance shortened, Xiao Yun and his companions discovered that there was a layer of slightly transparent light shield outside the ancient holy city.
The light shield seems extremely weak, but its surface continuously releases a kind of pressure.
Regardless of one's cultivation level, this pressure seemed to come from deep within the soul. No matter whether one was a Dou Zong, a Dou Zun, or even a Dou Sheng, one could feel a sense of discomfort.
"Xiao Yun, did you feel it?" Beside him, Zi Yan frowned slightly. Although she did not say it explicitly, the other two understood that Zi Yan was referring to the existence of pressure.
However, before Xiao Yun could open his mouth to explain, a figure appeared beside them like a ghost. It was Elder Zhuming who was hidden in the void.
He has already arrived at the base camp of the ancient clan. Even though he has the cultivation level of a four-star Dou Sheng, he cannot escape the detection of the strong men of the ancient clan when hiding in the void.
Rather than being caught by others, it is better to show up openly.
After Elder Zhuming appeared, he immediately explained to Zi Yan: "Haha, Your Majesty, this pressure comes from a trace of Doudi's power.
Here, no matter how high or low one's cultivation level is, they can all be suppressed by this Doudi power."
"The power of the Doudi? No wonder it makes me feel so uncomfortable!"
Hearing this, Zi Yan showed a look of realization. She had felt something was wrong a long time ago. Even the Dou Qi barrier could not block this kind of pressure. It turned out that it came from the hands of the Dou Emperor!
"That's right, it's the power of the Dou Emperor. Therefore, this Ancient Holy City can be said to be impregnable. Its safety level is even slightly inferior to that of our Dragon Island." Elder Zhuming said in a low voice.
However, the low level of security does not mean that Dragon Island is not good! In terms of mystery, even the ancient world hidden in space cannot compare to Dragon Island!
“Ahem, I forgot to tell you…Flying is prohibited within a thousand feet of this Ancient Saint City, otherwise the soul pressure will become stronger and stronger.
Only by walking on the ground can you avoid being affected by the pressure of the soul."
As the only one among the four with an intermediate-level soul in the Heavenly Realm, Xiao Yun’s soul power is much higher than theirs, and so is his ability to resist this kind of pressure.
Just now he had been immersed in the upcoming 'Heavenly Rank Selection', until he heard Zi Yan and the other two talking, then he reacted and quickly started to explain.
Looking around, they saw that all their companions had already landed on the ground, and they were the only ones still flying in the sky.
Immediately, Xiao Yun took the lead and flew towards the ground, followed by Zi Yan and others.
After the group landed on the ground, their speed did not slow down at all, and they still maintained their original speed, turning into streaks of light and rushing towards the ancient city ahead like lightning.
……
After a while, Xiao Yun and his group gradually slowed down and finally stopped at the end of the grassland. Less than a hundred meters in front of them was the gate of the Ancient Holy City.
However, even though the distance was so short, the middle was filled with people. People were divided into lines, arranged in an orderly manner, and slowly moved forward.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yun and his companions had no choice but to "follow the local customs". Three Dou Zuns plus a Dou Sheng, this is an extremely powerful lineup.
In Zhongzhou, if you want to enter other forces, which one of them would not be polite to invite you in? It was in the East Region, in front of the ancient tribe’s base camp, that they lined up honestly.
Xiao Yun and his group moved slowly along with the team. After a while, they finally crossed the distance of dozens of meters and arrived at the gate of the Ancient Holy City.
Then, the four of them looked back and forth, curiously taking in everything around them. For all of them, even Elder Zhuming, it was their first time to come to this ancient holy city.
Naturally, everything about it feels very new and novel.
Soon, Zi Yan's eyes were fixed on the front of the team. Everyone entering the city would take out a jade note and hand it to the black-armored guard at the door.
Only after verifying the authenticity of the jade sticker will people be allowed to enter the Ancient Holy City.
"Xiao Yun, this ancient holy city has so many rules. You need a visiting card to enter the city! No wonder there is such a long queue!" Zi Yan turned her head and complained in a low voice to Xiao Yun behind her.
But after hearing this, Xiao Yun did not respond immediately. A look of surprise appeared on his originally calm face.
Seeing this, a big question mark seemed to appear on Zi Yan's head, and she hesitated and said, "Xiao Yun, do you not know whether you need a visiting card, or do you not have one, or neither?"
"Uh..." Xiao Yun was about to explain, but Medusa and the other two looked at him with doubtful eyes.
No, coming to the Eastern Region and the Ancient Holy City were all decided by Xiao Yun alone, and the other three people were a "driver" and two escorts.
Moreover, because of the tearing of space, they were teleported directly from the northwest continent to the eastern region, so they had no time to inquire about the situation of the ancient clan.
Even Zhu Ming, who lived the longest, had only a superficial understanding of the ancient clan because he had been wandering in the void for many years.
"Ahem, I know I need a visiting card, but I forgot to ask for it..."
Xiao Yun said this somewhat angrily, but immediately added: "But we were indeed invited here!"
"Okay, then let you talk to them then."
Zi Yan paused, then pushed Xiao Yun in front of her and let him walk in front.
In response to this, Xiao Yun smiled helplessly, but he had no choice but to follow the team.
Soon, the people in front of him entered the Ancient Saint City one by one, leaving only Xiao Yun.
"Show me the visiting card." At the city gate, a guard in black armor asked as a routine matter.
"No..." Xiao Yun said in a low voice.
"What?" The black-armored soldier asked in confusion, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
"Ahem, there is no visiting card!" Xiao Yun had no choice but to repeat it loudly.
"No visiting card?"
Hearing this, the black-armored soldier was stunned. Over the years, who came to the Ancient Holy City without holding a visiting card?
This was the first time he had seen someone like Xiao Yun who was so confident without a visiting card. Then, he looked up at Xiao Yun and realized that he could not see through his cultivation level, so he turned around and shouted behind him.
"Commander, here comes a troublemaker!"
"Alas, I just don't have a visiting card, that doesn't mean I'm causing trouble!"
Regarding such a big hat, Xiao Yun said that he couldn't afford it and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
Seeing this, Zi Yan and the other two who were originally following closely behind him took a step back without leaving a trace, trying to distance themselves from Xiao Yun.
"You come to my Ancient Saint City without a visiting card. Are you trying to cause trouble?"
As soon as Xiao Yun finished speaking, a faint voice was heard from inside the city gate, and then a man in black armor slowly walked out.
The handsome face of the man was extremely cold at the moment, and the most eye-catching thing was the black and white hair on his forehead.
"Hey! Isn't this the ancient clan's genius, the ancient demon?"
Seeing the man's appearance, especially the iconic black and white hair color on his forehead, Xiao Yun was surprised in his heart.
It's just that his cultivation level is a bit low, now he is only at the one-star Dou Zun level. For him, he can suppress it with one hand.
Just as Xiao Yun was looking at the ancient monster, the latter did the same.
Looking at the young man in green in front of him, Gu Yao's pupils shrank slightly. With the perception gained from years of fighting on the battlefield, he could sense that there was a faint breath of death on Xiao Yun.
According to convention, anyone who dared to come to the Ancient Holy City without a visiting card would be driven out directly by the Black Annihilation Army.
But this time, the ancient demon leader did not dare to take action directly, but spoke rationally: "Who are you? Do you know that you need a visiting card to enter my Ancient Saint City?
If there is no visiting card, go back to where you came from!"
After hearing this, the crowd that was originally watching on the sidelines immediately turned their gazes towards the ancient monster, their eyes full of confusion.
Gu Yao, as a talented figure of the new generation of the ancient clan and the leader of the Black Annihilation Army, is well-known in the Eastern Region.
In addition to his outstanding talent, his personality is also well-known in the ancient tribe! To put it nicely, it is called indifference, to put it bluntly, it is cruel.
Anyone who looked down on the ancient clan or offended him would be attacked without a single word.
But today the sun rises from the west?
Facing this young man in blue, the ancient demon actually controlled his temper and asked a second time!
Not only others were shocked by the ancient monster's abnormal behavior, even Xiao Yun was a little surprised.
In the original time and space, this person was the first one in the ancient clan who wanted to kill Xiao Yan as soon as he saw him!
"Ahem, although I know about the visiting card, I don't really have one..."
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at Xiao Yun with a gloating look. They knew he was coming again, wasn't this a clear provocation to the ancient clan?
A cold light gradually appeared in the ancient demon's eyes, and a hint of murderous intent was released from him.
Just when they thought a fight was about to break out, Xiao Yun changed the subject.
"However, I was invited here by someone from your ancient clan. He left in a hurry and forgot to send me a visiting card."
"Who invited you here?"
The ancient demon stared at Xiao Yun with eyes as cold as Shura's. If the name the other party said did not satisfy him, he would keep that person even at the risk of death.
Your ancient clan leader, Gu Yuan.
Of course, such words must not be said. Even if they are said, no one will believe them. Instead, they will only arouse the anger of the people of the ancient clan.
"My name is Xiao Yun! The person who invited me is Gu Qingyang from the Ancient Clan!"
Xiao Yun said his name confidently. Elder Gu had asked him to come to the Ancient Holy City a long time ago. After so many days, everything must have been arranged, right?
"Gu Qingyang? Why didn't you say that the Gu clan leader asked you to come?"
"Where did this arrogant guy come from? First he dared to come to Ancient Saint City without a visiting card, and then he said that Gu Qingyang invited him!"
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, and the ancient demon's face became even colder.
This is the Ancient Saint City! When Xiao Yun's name is mentioned, others may have to react and think about who this person is.
But Gu Qingyang, the first genius of the ancient clan, is engraved in their minds!
"Brother Qingyang has never left the clan, so where did you get the invitation?
It seems that you really want to go against my ancient clan! Black Annihilation Army!"
"exist!"
As soon as the words fell, the ancient warriors who were standing aside and had been prepared for a long time shouted in anger.
Even though their cultivation was far lower than Xiao Yun's, they did not hesitate at all. They tightly grasped the spears in their hands and pointed them at the former.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Xiao Yun's face suddenly stopped.
Behind him, Medusa and the other two, who were originally watching the show, also changed their expressions. They flashed and appeared beside Xiao Yun, with powerful fighting spirit surging from their bodies.
No, how does this old guy Gu Yuan do things?
I was asked to come to the Ancient Holy City, and not only did I have to queue up but I wasn’t even given a VIP channel. When I got to the city gate, the gatekeeper didn’t even recognize me!
Seeing Xiao Yun and his group releasing their fighting spirit, the ancient demon confirmed his guess. He immediately waved his hand, flashed, and rushed towards Xiao Yun first.
"Get out!" In response to the attacks of the Black Annihilation Army, Xiao Yun simply waved his hand, and his fighting spirit turned into a giant red palm, which instantly knocked them away.
"Bang! Bang..."
A dull sound was heard, and the Black Annihilation Army was all knocked against the city wall. Even Gu Yao, a one-star Dou Zun, was not spared.
After striking out with his palm, Xiao Yun snorted coldly. No matter whether the noble Gu Yuan was forgetful or the Gu clan wanted to test him, he would take on today's drama!
Then, under the horrified gaze of everyone, Xiao Yun did not stop and waved his hand again. A giant red-gold dragon emerged, flying towards the ancient monster with extreme heat.
With his level of cultivation, even a casual attack would not be something the ancient demon could resist.
Not to mention, the latter is still lying on the ground, unable to get up because of the giant palm of fighting spirit just now!
Looking at the giant dragon coming towards him with bared fangs and claws, even though there was still some distance between them, the ancient demon could feel an extremely terrifying aura of destruction from it.
He wanted to stand up and dodge, but the invisible soul pressure had already locked him down, making the ancient demon unable to resist at all.
However, just as the giant dragon was about to fall on the ancient monster, a layer of fighting spirit barrier suddenly appeared on the surface of its body, standing still and blocking the giant dragon.
"Good boy! How dare you at the gate of my ancient world! You want to kill the genius of my ancient clan!"
An angry voice came from above the city gate, and then the space shook, and an old figure appeared in front of Xiao Yun!
"No matter who you are! Today, you must give our people an explanation!"
