NOVEL WEB Chapter 628: City Lord's Cultivation Breakthrough_2
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and Luo Yao quickly walked toward Ye Yunfei.
"Brother Luo, is something the matter?"
Ye Yunfei responded in a low voice.
"Brother Ye, I'd like to invite you to my residence for a chat. Would you be available?"
Luo Yao said.
"Of course."
"But I didn't expect you'd be in this city and even purchased a residence..."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Soon, Ye Yunfei followed Luo Yao to Sunset City, arriving before a very luxurious residence.
Inside this residence, there were many powerful martial artists patrolling, creating a heavily guarded atmosphere.
"Brother Ye, please!"
Luo Yao led Ye Yunfei into the residence.
Ye Yunfei noticed that inside this residence, there were numerous strong martial artists patrolling back and forth, each exuding a sharp aura, clearly seasoned warriors.
"Brother Luo, it seems there are quite a few cultivators within your residence..."
Ye Yunfei asked curiously.
"They were brought over from the Luo Family in Qingshi City. After all, when venturing out, it's essential to have manpower on hand..."
Luo Yao said with a smile.
"I see, that makes sense."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Afterward, Luo Yao took Ye Yunfei to a grand and opulent living room within the residence.
"Brother Ye, please have a seat!"
Luo Yao courteously invited Ye Yunfei to sit down and directed several servants to serve an exquisite feast.
Following that, Luo Yao and Ye Yunfei drank and ate while chatting casually.
Luo Yao had a bold and straightforward personality with no scheming, which continued to increase Ye Yunfei's fondness for him.
During the conversation, Ye Yunfei learned that the City Lord's Mansion of Sunset City had very close ties with the Flying Cloud Sect.
The City Lord of Sunset City was an elder of the Flying Cloud Sect, and Luo Yao was the elder's son.
Ye Yunfei knew that Flying Cloud Sect was one of the most powerful sects within the Xuanhuang Star Domain, home to many formidable experts.
The Sunset City's City Lord, being an elder of the Flying Cloud Sect, must be extraordinarily strong.
"Brother Luo, since you arrived here earlier, you probably encountered quite a few powerful elites.
I'd like to ask if you know where I can find ninth-grade spiritual medicine or Sky Grade martial techniques?"
Ye Yunfei suddenly inquired.
At this point, Ye Yunfei had already mastered the first move of the Sky-Splitting Fist, Sky-Splitting Form.
Now, Ye Yunfei planned to train the second move of the Sky-Splitting Fist.
However, the energy required to cultivate the second move was significantly greater than that of the first.
Hence, Ye Yunfei intended to seek out ninth-grade spiritual medicine to consume and enhance his strength.
As for Sky Grade martial techniques, they were an aspiration he was determined to achieve.
Having mastered the Sky-Splitting Fist, a Sky Grade martial technique, Ye Yunfei had a deep appreciation for their immense power.
If given the chance, he aimed to learn more Sky Grade martial techniques.
"Ninth-grade spiritual medicine and Sky Grade martial techniques!"
Luo Yao chuckled bitterly upon hearing this.
"Brother Ye, you might not realize.
Ninth-grade spiritual medicine and Sky Grade martial techniques are incredibly rare and highly coveted.
Throughout the entire Xuanhuang Star Domain, only the most elite forces might possess ninth-grade spiritual medicine or Sky Grade martial techniques."
Luo Yao shook his head as he spoke.
Ye Yunfei furrowed his brows upon hearing this.
He had anticipated that Luo Yao would know exactly where to find such treasures.
Unexpectedly, Luo Yao wasn't familiar with these matters.
"Brother Ye, if you wish to find ninth-grade spiritual medicine and Sky Grade martial techniques, I can inquire with the higher-ups of the Luo Family in Qingshi City in the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.
I cannot guarantee that I'll uncover any useful information, though."
Luo Yao said.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Luo."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Afterward, Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao continued drinking and chatting.
Only late into the night did Ye Yunfei leave the City Lord's Mansion in Sunset City and return to the inn he had rented.
In the days that followed, Ye Yunfei remained in Sunset City, never leaving.
He continued cultivating the second move of the Sky-Splitting Fist while relying on Luo Yao to search for hints regarding ninth-grade spiritual medicine and Sky Grade martial techniques.
The days passed one by one.
In the blink of an eye, half a year went by.
One day.
A sudden rumbling sound resounded throughout Sunset City, causing the entire city to tremble.
Soon, numerous powerful auras burst forth from the City Lord's Mansion within Sunset City, soaring straight into the sky.
"What's going on?"
Ye Yunfei immediately rushed out of the inn, looking toward the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, countless martial artists in Sunset City also emerged from their residences, gazing at the City Lord's Mansion.
Within the mansion, one powerful aura after another continued rising into the heavens.
Suddenly.
A deafening explosion echoed.
A dazzling beam of light surged skyward from the mansion, piercing the clouds.
In the next moment.
Overwhelming waves of power spread out from the City Lord's Mansion, rapidly engulfing the entire Sunset City.
The entire city seemed to quiver gently under the weight of these formidable forces.
"Such overwhelming power!"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel awestruck.
He sensed that the energy emanating from the City Lord's Mansion was extraordinarily potent, far surpassing any expert he had encountered before.
Each aura exuded a sharp and domineering force, leaving Ye Yunfei somewhat shaken.
At this moment, martial artists across Sunset City displayed shocked expressions, discussing the situation intensely.
"Such overwhelming power—has something major happened in the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Could it be that the City Lord has broken through to a higher cultivation realm?"
"It's very likely. These auras seem far stronger than what the City Lord had displayed previously."
...
Martial artists in Sunset City murmured quietly amongst themselves.
Suddenly.
A figure shot into the sky from the City Lord's Mansion, hovering high above, releasing an overpowering aura.
It was a tall, dignified elder with eyes like lightning, radiating an aura as sharp as an unsheathed blade.
"It's the City Lord of Sunset City!"
Someone murmured in a low voice.
Ye Yunfei also fixed his gaze on this elder, sensing that his power was immensely strong.
"Everyone, I have been in closed-door cultivation for years and finally achieved a breakthrough, ascending to a new realm of cultivation!"
The City Lord of Sunset City slowly scanned the city below and declared in a loud voice.
His voice, like rolling thunder, reverberated throughout Sunset City.
"Congratulations, City Lord! Best wishes, City Lord!"
The martial artists of Sunset City loudly expressed their congratulations.
The City Lord's breakthrough in cultivation was a momentous occasion for them as well.
After all, the stronger the City Lord, the higher the prestige of Sunset City, and the residents would reap the benefits too.
"Thank you, everyone!"
The City Lord clasped his hands in gratitude toward the martial artists below.
"City Lord, after years of closed-door cultivation and achieving this breakthrough, it surely is a joyful occasion for all of Sunset City!
May we ask how you plan to celebrate?"
A hearty laugh broke out, followed by the emergence of a burly middle-aged man striding out from the City Lord's Mansion, hovering high in the air.
This middle-aged man was clad in a long green robe, with his hands behind his back. His gaze was piercing, and his very presence radiated sharp energy.
"It's Elder Chen from Flying Cloud Sect!"
Someone murmured quietly.
Ye Yunfei also fixed his gaze on this middle-aged man, sensing that his power even surpassed that of the City Lord.
"Ah, it's Elder Chen—we are deeply honored that you've arrived. Please forgive any shortcomings in our welcome."
The City Lord of Sunset City smiled warmly upon seeing the man, displaying great politeness.
This middle-aged man was a powerful elder of Flying Cloud Sect, possessing immense strength and an exceptional status.
