Rebirth: City Sovereign

The corrosive poison tide that was mixed with the smell of corpses and all kinds of fishy odors fell down from the top of the Magic Formation like a heavy rain.    

"Get out of the way."    

Ye Tianyi let out a cold snort and waved his arm. Something shaped like a Disc flew out from his waist and floated in the air, opening a semicircular golden barrier that enveloped everyone inside.    

"Oh?"    

When Ye Kai saw the Spirit Equipment, he unconsciously raised his eyebrows.    

This Yan Clan really had quite a number of collections.    

"Rumble."    

The poison tide landed on the golden barrier and dispersed in all directions.    

"Fuck, what have you done?"    

Waiting until the situation stabilized for Lee Qianchou to rush forward, he grabbed Luo Zhen by the collar, and clamored loudly.    

Luo Zhen naturally did not want to be outdone, and shouted fiercely.    

"Take your hands off me. It's not about responsibility. It's about how you get out of here!"    

"Humph!"    

Lee Qianchou released Luo Zhen's collar and snorted coldly.    

Including Ye Tianyi himself, everyone was sure that it was the impact of Luo Zhen's Fa Li energy that caused the bluestone staircase to collapse, destroyed the mechanism, and the appearance of the Magic Formation.    

Only Ye Kai understood that this was not the case.    

This ancient tomb, was probably designed to be a forbidden area. After the creator of the ancient tomb repaired the tomb, in order to prevent people from entering the tomb, a mechanism was set up.    

Those twenty entrances were all an illusion. The structures inside had been designed to return to their original points, which was probably a piece of advice left by the architect for those who entered the ancient tomb.    

Leave immediately!    

If someone was stubborn enough to walk through all twenty fake entrances, they would trigger the mechanism left behind by the designer, and at that time, the bluestone staircase that served as the entrance would disappear, and the poisonous tide created by the Magic Formation would turn everyone who tried to enter the ancient tomb into a pool of blood!    

"What do we do now?"    

Seeing the terrifying poison tide outside the golden barrier, Ye Yanyun frowned.    

"Break the formation."    

Lee Qianchou raised his head, looked at the black Magic Formation carved with ancient words, and said.    

"This tide of poison came from that Magic Formation. If we can break the formation, then we can be saved."    

With that said, he raised the golden sword in his hand, pointing the sword tip at the Magic Formation above him, he shot out a golden technique, through the barrier created by Ye Tianyi, towards the black Magic Formation.    

"BOOM!"    

The golden energy bombarded the Magic Formation, turning it into smoke and dissipating.    

"How is this possible!"    

Lee Qianchou opened his eyes wide in disbelief as he clamored.    

"What are you waiting for? Let's attack together!"    

Luo Zhen shouted, with a flick of his hand, he released two fist winds that flew towards the Magic Formation.    

Seeing Luo Zhen do this, everyone took out their magic tools and spirit artifacts from their waists, and started to shoot all kinds of attacks at the black Magic Formation. However, the Magic Formation remained unmoving, without even a hint of a crack, and continued to descend the black poisonous tide.    

"How strange, how can he be so strong?"    

Lee Qianchou was sweating profusely as he gasped for breath.    

What he did not know was that this ancient tomb was the tomb of a Divine Strength Expert cultivator, and the Magic Formation inside were all carved by Grandmasters of intermediate stage techniques. If ordinary attacks were to land on top of them, it would naturally have no effect.    

"Continue, don't stop!"    

Luo Zhen roared, and along with dozens of black fist winds, he rushed towards the Magic Formation in the sky. In this moment of life and death, none of the four families had any thoughts of saving energy, they all used their strongest attacks and shot towards the Magic Formation in the sky.    

Boom!    

When the smoke dispersed, the Magic Formation was still unharmed, as if it was mocking them for resisting, looking down on everyone.    

The surface of the unceasingly falling poisonous tide was getting higher and higher, as if it wanted to completely cover the golden barrier. When everyone's vision was completely covered by the poisonous tide, they would be completely submerged in it.    

"Whap."    

With a crisp sound, the crowd saw that a hole had actually appeared at the top of the protective shield as the poisonous cloud continued to crash against it!    

This time, they could no longer sit still, all of them directly exploded their Spirit Treasures and Spirit Tools, attacking the Magic Formation. However, no matter how hard they tried, they always got the same result.    

"It's over, it's all over."    

Finally, after the golden sword in his hand was cut into two, Lee Qianchou sat on the ground and said helplessly.    

"Damn it, not to mention searching, even my life is going to end."    

Luo Zhen panted heavily as his back was drenched in sweat.    

Ye Yanyun did not know what to do, and stood there blankly.    

Only Ye Kai, who had not made a move all this time, smiled faintly.    

He raised his right hand slightly and flicked his finger gently. A dark green colored Spiritual Strength that was so small that it was nearly impossible to detect shot towards the black colored Magic Formation in the sky.    

"Crack!"    

Along with a cracking sound, the Spiritual Strength accurately pierced the center of the Magic Formation. With this as a signal, it became like a fragile glass, as the black Magic Formation exploded into countless pieces!    

Then, with a loud bang, the twenty entrances to the sewers opened, the tide of poison subsided, and everything returned to its original state.    

Everyone saw the Magic Formation shatter, and all of them stared with their eyes wide open, not knowing what had happened.    

"Brother Luo's final strike must have damaged the Magic Formation!"    

Suddenly, someone clamored.    

"Nonsense, it was clearly Young Master Li's explosive sword strike that directly shattered the Magic Formation's structure!"    

"Forget it, if Sister Ye hadn't just …"    

The members of the sect all boasted to each other about the leader of their sect. None of them were convinced by the other.    

As for Ye Yanyun and the Ye Tianyi who had not spoken all this while, when facing this suddenly broken Magic Formation, they deeply furrowed their brows.    

Following that, the Stone Wall surrounding the round plaza started to crumble, revealing four gigantic square entrances.    

At this moment, the four entrances to the ancient tomb were finally revealed to the crowd.    

Ye Tianyi snorted coldly, and directly chose to enter the leftmost one. Luo Family and Lee Family also refused to give way, and each of them chose to enter through the entrance.    

Just as Ye Yanyun was hesitating about where to go, Ye Kai circled around her and chose the right passage, walking straight in, and said without turning her head back.    

"Let's go with this."    

Ye Yanyun was slightly taken aback.    

"Why?"    

Without even turning his head, Ye Kai walked in.    

"Believe it or not."    

Ye Yanyun was furious, she snorted, and followed behind Ye Kai and rushed in.    

When the people from the other Firmament Sect saw Ye Yanyun's current state, they did not know how to react.    

"No wonder Sect Leader is so worried about Sister Yan Yun. If it wasn't for Junior Brother Ye Lee's breakthrough in his closed door cultivation, I'm afraid that Sect Leader would never let Sister Yan Yun be the leader."    

One of the Firmament Sect disciples said helplessly. The others also nodded with bitter smiles, then followed behind Ye Yanyun.    

"Now that I've followed you in, why don't you tell me why you're walking this path?"    

"It's the structure of the passageway."    

Ye Kai stared straight ahead, and slowly opened his mouth to reply.    

"In ancient times, the Emperor's Tomb would have the artisans accompany them in death. This was a passageway that the artisans left for themselves when they made tombs, so the direction of the cave's entrance was slanted outwards while the structures of the other tunnels were dug inwards."    

"If it's a tomb robber's passage, there might be a trap, but have you ever seen a craftsman stupid enough to set a trap for his escape?"    

Hearing such a bunch of things that she couldn't really understand, Ye Yanyun scratched her head with an embarrassed look on her face.    

"Yes, yes."    

"Actually, I also know that I'm just taking the exam."    

Following that, Ye Yanyun raised her hand and patted Ye Kai's shoulder.    

"Little brother, you know a lot, don't tell me you are a professional tomb robber? Today, you can just leave with me. I will make sure that you will be safe and sound under the hands of those three great families! "    

Hearing that, Ye Kai raised his eyebrows.    

"Are the other three dangerous?"    

Ye Yanyun acted as if it was natural.    

"Oh, the three wolf and tiger families of the capital, how could they live up to their reputation. But, little brother, don't worry, if we follow big sister, they would still have to give me some face with regards to Ye Family!"    

Ye Kai laughed bitterly and nodded his head, but he sighed in his heart.    

Who would have thought that one day, he would also be called little brother.    

The two of them walked along the tunnel as if they were strolling. When they arrived at the first hall, the Lee Family rushed out as well, and these disciples of the Lee Family had dirt and grime all over their faces and bodies were covered with scars, no longer having the mighty appearance they had when they first entered the entrance. Even the leading Lee Qianchou had a long scratch on his left arm.    

Seeing this, Ye Yanyun laughed, then walked over to greet Lee Qianchou.    

Seeing Ye Yanyun unharmed, Lee Qianchou was startled, but soon replied with a complicated tone.    

"Looks like Miss Ye's luck is really good."    

Just at this moment, a loud sound echoed out from within the hall!    

"What's going on?"    

Everyone had just escaped from the Magic Formation, and their bodies were already exhausted. Now that they heard the loud noise, all of their faces turned ugly.    

Boom!    

Following that, a thick silver serpent broke through the hall's Stone Wall s and drilled out from above everyone's heads. Its entire body was covered in silver scales, and the tip of its constantly spitting tongue dripped yellow mucus onto the ground, instantly melting the ground.    

It let out a mournful cry and cried out hoarsely. Its two yellow eyes stared at the crowd, and it was extremely terrifying.    

Ye Yanyun saw the appearance of the silver serpent, but was not afraid. Instead, she took out a long sword and said.    

"It seems like this silver serpent is a creature guarding the tomb. Little brother, stay here. This snake is not simple. Big sister will kill it now!"    

With that, Ye Yanyun swung her sword and rushed towards the silver serpent.    

Seeing that, Lee Qianchou clenched his teeth, a white sword appeared in his hand, and he followed behind Ye Yanyun.    

"I shall lend Miss Ye a hand!"    

The two of them, one snake and one human, began to fight in a relatively small space. The two of them, who had used up a large amount of their physical strength to break through the formation, were actually at a disadvantage when facing off against a creature of this level.    

Ye Kai was not in a hurry to make a move and stood at his original spot. He watched Ye Yanyun and Lee Qianchou waving their long swords about with great interest, as if he was attracted by Ye Yanyun's personality. He wanted to see just how much strength this cheap big sister had.    

But in the next second, Ye Kai, who was spreading his Spiritual Strength all the way to the hall, suddenly frowned.    

"Hmm?"    

He cast a sidelong glance at a small corner in the hall.    

At that location, a Lee Family disciple wearing a long robe secretly gathered true energy in his hand as silver needles appeared on his fingertips one after another.    

"You little girl from Ye Family, you also have such a day!"    

Right after he finished speaking, the man flicked his finger and ten over silver needles flew towards Ye Yanyun's vital points!    

Just as the venomous silver needles were about to pierce Ye Yanyun's body, an invisible force suddenly appeared behind Ye Yanyun and repelled the dozen of silver needles!    

"What's going on!"    

When the man saw that his sneak attack had been blocked, he panicked and almost shouted out loud.
