Chapter 90: Chapter 90: The Vanished City

Qian Feng’s body suddenly doubled in size, his mouth splitting wide to reveal sharp fangs.

“You think you can kill me?”

“Boom————”

The next second, a huge cloud of dust burst from under Qian Feng’s feet.

Qian Feng turned into a stream of black light and fled into the distance.

What a joke, he wasn’t sure if that expert-looking figure was nearby or not.

Now that he was free, Qian Feng had no intention to entangle with Jiang Ming.

However, a flash of fire like a crimson lightning chased Qian Feng.

The Wind Control Skill and Wind Chasing Leg combined perfectly, the fireball flew out, touched again by the black blade, merging into the sword.

Flame Magic and the black blade fused perfectly, transforming into the Flowing Fire Long Blade.

This was once Zhu Chen’s famous technique using Cross Refining Qi; it was the reason Zhu Chen was known for the Flowing Fire Blade.

The Fire Blade cut through the air, emitting a whooshing sound.

“Screech”

A faint tearing sound arose.

The massive body went limp instantly, yet due to inertia, continued to fly forward.

Jiang Ming pointed his fingertip at the blade, wiping away the flames on the black blade, his gaze falling on a head at his feet that showed astonishment. Without a moment’s hesitation, he cast a spell without seals, waved his hand and a fireball burned the head to ashes.

Only when he heard the sound of gaining Simulation Points did Jiang Ming withdraw his True Essence.

“Hall Master Qian, you are liberated,” Jiang Ming retracted the long knife, his eyes showing little emotion.

Jiang Ming broke open Qian Feng’s chest, extracting a rhombus-shaped black crystal.

Mortal Transcendence Demons often have their essence gather in one place upon death, much like the Bone Demon before.

Jiang Ming slowly clenched his hand, the two pieces of essence in his hand turning to powder.

All the Spirit Points were absorbed into Jiang Ming’s simulator.

The Spirit Points quota in Jiang Ming’s simulator panel continued to rise.

“Next up…”

Suddenly sensing something, Jiang Ming quickly exchanged for a Concealing Breath Talisman.

The Concealing Breath Talisman was an advanced talisman, quite precious, Zhu Chen happened to have a few for survival.

True Essence surged into the Concealing Breath Talisman, lowering Jiang Ming’s aura to the extreme.

Jiang Ming’s gaze was fixed on the horizon.

There was a red light shooting from the horizon, creating an afterimage in the sky, and it was only as Jiang Ming just realized that the red light descended above Evergreen City.

“This is…”

Jiang Ming’s heart trembled.

He could feel every cell in his body screaming in a frenzy.

This was the crushing pressure from a different Life Level.

Just like humans compared to ants, Haoyang compared to dust.

Even though Jiang Ming had just stepped into the first step of cultivation, becoming a Qi Refining Cultivator, faced with this kind of power, he didn’t even have the thought of resistance.

“This…”

Jiang Ming extended his hand, pulled out an Invisibility Talisman and stuck it on himself, then his body flickered slightly, his life aura blending almost entirely with the nearby trees.

The mark on Jiang Ming’s hand suddenly flashed, and Jiang Ming could feel a layer of silk covering him.

If nothing unexpected happened, the owner of this red light was likely to be the Mother mentioned by the Evergreen Phoenix Spirit simulated by the Spirit of Puppet City.

The Blood Vermilion Bird sealed by the God-Demon List was quite possibly the true body of the Phoenix Spirit; the abilities of that entity and the Phoenix Spirit were deeply connected.

That existence might also possess a True Spirit Investigation ability.

However, the Blood Vermilion Bird had already been fully suppressed by the Soul-Controlling abilities of the God-Demon List, now entirely favoring Jiang Ming, thus instead aiding in concealing Jiang Ming.

With three layers of concealment techniques, Jiang Ming’s worry gradually subsided.

Meanwhile, the red light fell on Evergreen City, countless beings within looked fearfully at the red light above.

The red light dissipated, but Jiang Ming didn’t look.

The concealment methods he currently had might be sufficient, if the other party didn’t meticulously search, they wouldn’t notice him.

Yet experts, even those ordinary Acquired Realm experts of the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, are incredibly sensitive to others’ gazes, let alone these entities.

The light dimmed slightly, and the next second, a fierce light erupted, as if another sun was born in the sky.

Jiang Ming glanced at the city wall of Evergreen City.

He saw the wall of Evergreen City tremble slightly.

“Boom————”

A massive roar sounded.

But besides the roar, there was no wailing or screaming of any other living creatures, nor the sound of buildings collapsing.

Jiang Ming didn’t even feel the ground tremble, as if…

This strike was taken to another time and space.

Jiang Ming closed his eyes, quietly working the Meditation Technique in his heart, reducing emotional fluctuations to the minimum.

Not until the surroundings were silent again did Jiang Ming look up.

He saw nothing remained, a plain spread out.

The entire Evergreen City… vanished…

The huge city, home to a hundred thousand people, disappeared just like that.

The plain before him seemed almost unbelievable.

Jiang Ming could even see the clear marks on the ground where the official road met the city wall.

All around, there were some lucky ones, none of them were from Evergreen City, either just leaving or just trying to enter Evergreen City.

They weren’t taken away with Evergreen City.

At this moment, everyone around was incredibly shocked, dazed on the spot, unable to believe everything that had happened before their eyes.

Jiang Ming quietly observed the surroundings, finding no other anomalies.

Only when the remaining people finally came back to their senses, forming groups intending to head to the nearest Mingwu City to report to the Imperial Court did Jiang Ming’s figure slowly emerge from behind the trees.

It was now afternoon, a few hours remained until sunset, those hours were already quite dangerous for these mortals.

Because they had no way to reach another city within those hours, and at night, the wilds were a dance of demons.

Indeed, with the deterrence of Evergreen City gone, the evil spirits in this region would increase drastically.

Jiang Ming had no time to concern himself with how Evergreen City’s disappearance would impact the entire Great Lii.

He was just considering his own path.

Practice in the wild?

Jiang Ming had never lived alone outdoors at night, but a Martial Artist could hold a Vermilion Bird Lamp and walk in the wild for a while, in the nearby wilds Jiang Ming still had the ability to protect himself.

“But…”

Jiang Ming frowned, “Let’s head to Mingwu City first.”

The wilds were too dangerous after all, if Jiang Ming wanted to hunt evil spirits in the wild, he would need to find a safe base first.

Jiang Ming extended his hand, the red mark on his hand flickered once, vanishing again.

Jiang Ming felt he underestimated the True Spirit Investigation ability.

If he could use it well… maybe he could evade the investigation of the city Phoenix Spirit in the Great Lii city…,

Even… create a fake identity.

………………

Mingwu City.

Li Mo frowned as he looked at the chessboard in front of him.

Across from him was an old man, who said, “What’s wrong, Old Li, you’ve been restless since returning from Evergreen City, even pushing off previous tasks, it’s unlike you.”

“I feel like I’ve forgotten something…”

A red light flashed across the sky.

Both looked up to the sky.

Li Mo shuddered, his eyes filled with disbelief, the hidden memories resurfacing.
