s face, his brows furrowed deeply as if deep in thought."Whoa!"At the same time, Jiang Yun let out a long sigh and opened his eyes.At this moment, the huge mound of earth that had piled up around him...Four figures stood above the Emperor Sword, in the heart of Si Zhen City.

They are the four city lords representing the four races.

Although their mission and responsibilities are to ensure the safety of the Four Realms and the Four Cities, in daily life, they rarely see each other.

Especially the situation where all four appear at the same time, it is something that may not happen even once in a hundred years.

Just over a year ago, they had just gathered here, but they never expected that in such a short time, they would meet again.

Of course, they didn't engage in any pleasantries at this moment. Each person wore a serious expression, even Zhu Shao Shao, who was usually carefree, looked unusually gloomy.

Eight pairs of eyes stared intently at the Imperial Suppressing Sword beneath them! Only a sliver of the sword's tip remained embedded in the ground, poking out from beneath the surface. The thousand-zhang long blade seemed to be trembling slightly, making one wonder if a strong gust of wind could blow it over completely.

From the time the Zhendi Sword pierced the imperial tomb, throughout these countless years, although it was continuously being pushed out of the ground, it had never been exposed this much.

Especially more than a year ago, because the former ruler of Sijinzhen City, Huangfu Jing, had recklessly opened a certain door, everyone paid a huge price before barely suppressing the Zhending Sword once again.

As a matter of tradition, it can last for at least hundreds of years.

However, it has only been a little over a year since then, and the Zhundi Sword has already been brought out again. This is really not a good sign.

After a long silence, one of the younger men spoke up and asked, "What do you three think"

Qiong Yu’s brows furrowed tightly. “Although there has been no movement from the Eight Gates Formation so far, the inner eight gates of the formation have not yet been repaired.”

If there were any disturbances within the Imperial Tomb, and if they were to be activated, I fear the formation would be rendered useless, unable to withstand the onslaught.

Mo Yun Ting nodded. "Indeed, the power of the Zhen Di Sword has clearly been weakened to its lowest."

In that case, it would mean both the formation and the Imperial Execution Sword would be largely ineffective.

"

The situation is very dangerous!

"

A few people looked up and addressed Jiang Mu, who had been silent the whole time: "Old Jiang, what do you think"

Despite hearing a few inquiries, Jiang Mu remained silent.

Because he was thinking, the sudden appearance of the Town Emperor Sword, could it be related to their ancestor, Ginger Wanli

Last time, due to the disturbances in the Imperial Tomb caused by Dongfang Bo, he suspected it was done by the Ancestor. He even had the heart to close the formation and open the entrance to the Imperial Tomb.

Although he was proven wrong in the end, the current anomaly of the Town Emperor Sword couldn't help but bring that thought back to his mind.

After all, this time, there was no appearance of Dongfang Bo again.

Moreover, the Zhen Di Sword has been inserted here for many years. Although it has been pulled out several times, the time intervals between these instances have always been extremely long.

But now that the Ancestor has entered the Imperial Tomb for not long, the Zhen Di Sword has shown abnormalities. It's really very likely that it was done by the Ancestor! Seeing Jiang Mu silent, Zhu Shao couldn't help but speak again: "Old Jiang, what's wrong with you"

"Jiang Mu finally came to his senses, shook his head and said, 'It's nothing, there are too many things going on in the clan lately, I'm a little tired.'"

"This time, I agree with the Devil and Feather on this matter."

Having simply said those two sentences, Jiang Mu closed his mouth and no longer spoke.

Zhu Shao looked deeply at Jiang Mu and said, "I think we should make the worst preparations now and immediately mobilize cultivators from all races to come to Sizhentang City and increase its strength."

“Especially, speeding up the process, repairing the internal "eight gates" and also deploying more personnel on the external "eight gates."

And tell all the monks who come here to be prepared for no return.

However, I needn't worry too much, the Lao Zang side already knows about this.

They couldn't just ignore it, I thought. Over the next few days, the Emperor should arrive personally.

For Xiao Shao's ideas, the three of them silently nodded.

Of the four, Zhu Shao stayed behind in Sifeng City to oversee matters personally, while the other three returned to their respective posts to marshal troops.

With the departure of the three, Zhu Shao watched gingerly Mu's leaving direction, shook his head lightly, and then focused his attention back on the Zhen Di Sword.

"Are they preparing to attack again so soon"

"Alas, why didn't you launch sooner or later, but had to launch right now"

"At least wait for me to find a suitable heir before you launch it!"

"Now, I'm really not ready to enter the Imperial Tomb..." Of course, Zhu Shaoshao already knows about Jiang Yun entering the spatial rift and disappearing with it.

To be honest, when he first heard the news, he didn't believe it at all.

But upon learning that the Emperor Xíng was personally present, only then did the young masters believe that Jiāng Yún must have perished.

Although he was a little disappointed, he accepted it.

Every year, countless prodigies perish within the ruins. No one can guarantee that entering the ruins will ensure a safe return.

If you have to blame someone, blame it on Jiang Yun's weak strength and bad luck.

Therefore, many people are now considering whether they should risk entering the Imperial Tomb if a major war were to actually break out.

From the next day on, all the shops in the four towns had closed, but the cultivators who were in the city did not decrease, instead, there were more and more.

Every day, cultivators from the four races come from all directions to this city.

Even the rule that prohibited too many Heavenly Venerates from entering has been temporarily lifted.

The first cultivators to arrive at the Four Towns City were those geniuses who came from the third layer of the ruins.

After these prodigies completed the land reclamation tasks assigned by the Emperor of Punishment, they thought they could go home. But the movement of the Town Emperor Sword made them the first batch of cultivators to be stationed in the Four Towns City.

Of course, Ji Kongfan also rushed to Sizhucheng.

After stepping out of the teleportation array, his gaze immediately fell upon the Emperor's Sword.

He had already heard about the Imperial Tomb and the Sovereign Suppressing Sword from Jiang Yun, and he was also a little curious.

Now I finally got to see it with my own eyes.

However, besides being able to see the Zhundi Sword, he made no other discoveries.

Just as he was about to follow the people from the Human Clan City Lord's Mansion away, a few faint voices suddenly rang in his ear: "Ji Kongfan, come over here!"

Ji Kongfan nodded and walked directly above Zhu Shao Shao, knowing in his heart that Zhu Shao Shao was going to ask him about Jiang Yun.

"Sure enough, Zhu Shao readily blurted out: "Did Gu Yun really die"

Ji Kongfan pondered for a moment and said, "Under that kind of circumstances, there should be no possibility of survival."

"Oh!"

Zhu Shao, with a sigh, said: "I really think highly of him, but it's a pity!"

Ji Kongfan ignored the various emotions expressed by the others. His gaze had once again fallen on the Town Emperor Sword, and beneath it, the imperial tomb that was impossible to see.

After a few moments of contemplation, Zhu Shao said with a sigh, "Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore."

You should also know that things could get pretty chaotic here.

"

Even I cannot guarantee that I can live, so I can't protect you either.

"

"Now the Emperor has sealed off the Four Chaos Realms, allowing entry but forbidding exit. I cannot send you away either."

"But since you're his friend, I have to look out for you. I'll give you a slightly safer assignment."

"I see you have quite the skill. Why don't you enter this town-guarding sword and help repair the formation"

As long as the Imperial Sovereign Sword remains intact, you will be in no danger.

"If we even lost the Zhen Di Sword, we'd probably be dead already."

Ji Kongfan bowed to the young masters and said, "Thank you, Lord City Master."

Zhu Shaoshao waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. Just wait downstairs, someone will take you into the sword in a while."

Ji Kongfan nodded, didn't say anything else, and left on his own.

Zhuo Shao looked down from above at Ji Kongfan who was already waiting there. In a voice only he could hear, he said: "I hope you don't blame me, if you must blame anyone, it's your bad luck!"

Since Gu Yun is gone, you must die too!adow was countless times larger than him. It was like the sky, obscuring this space.However, this shadow seems unlike the blood, not being in the same space.Then, a series of "crackling" sounds rang o...
