Chapter 174: The Pagoda Suppresses the River Demon
This was difficult for Wang Yi to accept. He felt like he had been cursed.
It was so strange that something that should have existed in another world had appeared in this world.
This made Wang Yi suspicious. An extremely ridiculous thought suddenly rose in his mind.
Was the Yang God Race from Earth?
Wang Yi could not help but think so. Besides, it was not impossible. After all, that was a language and culture that belonged to Planet Earth alone. It was impossible to explain why such a phrase had suddenly appeared here.
Now, Wang Yi felt like he was caught between a rock and a hard place. If the Yang God Race was really from Earth, where should he go?
It was clearly no longer realistic for him to mercilessly slaughter the Yang God Race.
He had no relatives, no family, and no good material life in that world.
However, that was where he was born and raised after all. Wang Yi was like a fallen leaf, and Planet Earth was his root.
It allowed Wang Yi, who was an orphan, to grow up and have the ability to survive independently.
That world wasn’t as wonderful as it might have been, but at the same time, it wasn’t as bad.
However, if he allowed the Yang God Race to invade and wantonly slaughter the humans in this world, Wang Yi would not be able to tolerate it either.
Now that he had completely integrated into this world and was already connected to the destiny of the human race here, it was a situation where they were bound together for good or ill.
Moreover, his family and lover were also in this world. No matter what, Wang Yi could not allow others to destroy them.
However, what comforted Wang Yi was that the life forms of the Yang God Race and the humans on Planet Earth were completely different.
Just a phrase covered Wang Yi’s vision like layers of fog. If he wanted to see clearly, he had to clear the fog in front of him.
Zhige City was located in the extreme north. It was one of the few giant cities at the edge of the Langya Domain. It was also the first stop Wang Yi had chosen.
Guardian Ding Zhan of Zhige City was a peerless expert who had completed three qualitative changes in his strength. He was only a step away from the Connate Realm.
As long as he grasped the opportunity, he could directly break through to the Connate Realm.
However, such experts gave up on finding their own opportunities in the vast wilderness. They were willing to be trapped like birds in a cage and guard the city for the rest of their lives. Thus, Guardian Ding Zhan protected Zhige City and guarded the northern gate for the human race.
According to the information provided by Venerable Ning Jing, the Yang God Race had also deployed a large number of troops here in order to target Ding Zhan. This was also one of the giant cities with the most hidden experts of the Yang God Race.
There were two experts at the same level as Ding Zhan, more than ten ordinary peak-level experts, and more than a hundred Rank-9 grandmasters.
On the surface, the Maple Forest Pawnshop was just an ordinary business, but it had already been secretly controlled by the Yang God Race.
Wang Yi walked straight into the pawnshop. It should be off-season at this time, so there were not many customers.
The middle-aged appraiser sitting behind the counter was leaning over the table in boredom, his eyes fixed on the door, but he didn’t notice Wang Yi enter. No one knew what he was thinking.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Wang Yi stood at the counter and lightly tapped his fingers on the glass in front of him.
The middle-aged appraiser, who was in a daze, seemed to be shocked. His body stiffened and he couldn’t help but shiver.
When he saw Wang Yi’s harmless face, he patted his chest with lingering fear and said in relief, “Customer, do you want to pawn an item or redeem something?”
When Wang Yi saw this, he only shook his head slightly and said in a childish manner, “Heavenly king covers the ground tiger.”
The middle-aged appraiser’s expression instantly changed when he heard this. He looked at Wang Yi with an indescribable reverence.
However, because he had yet to complete the secret code, he could only say respectfully, “The pagoda suppresses the river demon1!”
Wang Yi nodded slightly again. He thought that this secret signal should be correct. He continued indifferently, “Ha, ha.”
At this moment, the middle-aged appraiser seemed to have completely confirmed Wang Yi’s identity. His voice trembled as he said, “Let’s talk at noon. No one will be at home then.”
The moment he finished speaking…
The middle-aged appraiser hurriedly opened the counter door and walked up to Wang Yi. Then, he knelt at his feet.
With an extremely pious and fanatical expression, he said, “Welcome, Lord Divine Envoy. May your martial arts prosper and you enjoy eternal happiness and longevity.”
“I wonder what decree the Lord Divine Envoy has come in person for?”
Seeing the other party like this, the corners of Wang Yi’s mouth suddenly twitched. He couldn’t help but want to laugh as various images surfaced in his mind.
A group of lackeys held various musical instruments in their hands and opened the way while whistling and beating. They shouted in unison, “Star Constellation Old Immortal, your power is boundless. You will enjoy eternal happiness and live as long as the heavens1.”
Holding back his laughter, Wang Yi regained his composure and said calmly, “There’s a secret order from the sect. Bring me to see the Yang God Venerable here.”
The middle-aged appraiser immediately agreed when he heard this. He closed the shop and led Wang Yi towards the edge of the city.
They arrived at a dilapidated and overgrown courtyard, which seemed to have been abandoned and looked like a new world when one walked in.
The various decorations were simple, elegant, and luxurious, but they were surrounded by a cold aura. It was like an ancient palace.
Wang Yi stood at the door and released his spiritual power to envelop the courtyard. His expression instantly turned extremely ugly, and his killing intent rose continuously.
Then, he pointed his finger and knocked the middle-aged appraiser unconscious.
Wang Yi did not choose to kill the appraiser on the spot. After all, the appraiser was a human. It would not be good to kill the appraiser directly before he figured out if he was a traitor or if he had been bewitched.
At this moment, the top experts of the Yang God Race were all gathered here. A few human martial artists were tied up and lying on the luxurious carpet.
The martial artists of them seemed to have fallen into some kind of terrifying illusion. Everyone’s faces revealed extreme fear. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and their bodies trembled violently from time to time.
As the fear in their hearts intensified, wisps of special power seeped out from between their eyebrows.
The top beings of the Yang God Race gathered in the room were closing their eyes tightly at this moment, as if they were enjoying the most delicious food in the world and greedily absorbing the special power.
The few human martial artists lying on the ground seemed to have been sucked dry in just a few breaths.
Their auras instantly withered, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment.
“Enough. If we continue absorbing the special power, this food will die.”
At this moment, a Yang God expert with a golden horn on his forehead and a deep aura suddenly stopped everyone from absorbing the special power.
Although the Yang God experts who were enjoying themselves were unwilling, they could only stop absorbing due to the other party’s powerful strength.
The golden-horned Yang God expert looked at everyone and said indifferently, “The elders have already given the order to remain silent. Even beings like us cannot act so casually.”
