Chapter 2403 The Strongest Dao Artifact

Upon hearing this, the deputy city lord gently raised his hand.

hum!

A beam of light flew from his hand and headed towards the purple-robed elder.

The purple-robed elder instinctively reached out his hand, and the celestial light landed directly in his hand, transforming into a golden gourd.

At this moment, the deputy city lord said coldly, "Use this to kill that Luo Tian!"

Upon seeing this, the purple-robed elder's eyes instantly flashed with two beams of light.

"Thank you, Deputy City Lord! I will certainly not fail you!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Watching the departing figure of the purple-robed elder, a young man from the Great Wilderness Buzhou City frowned slightly and suddenly said, "Vice City Lord, this guy is not trustworthy! As the Grand Elder of the Xuantian Soul Ruins, he can betray the Xuantian Soul Ruins so easily. I'm afraid he will also betray our Great Wilderness Buzhou City in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the deputy city lord said coldly, "Of course I know he's not trustworthy! But now is not the time to think about such things! We don't have enough manpower, and neither you nor I can leave this place, so we have no choice but to entrust the matter to him!"

The young man sighed helplessly, then suddenly looked up and gazed ahead.

Before him stood an ancient tree, hanging upside down from the sky.

The roots of the ancient tree reach into the sky, shading out a patch of land.

Ancient tree branches, like tentacles, drooped down and eventually intertwined, trapping a figure firmly.

However, the figure's state was somewhat strange.

She was clearly locked in place by the branches, completely motionless.

But beside her, there seemed to be countless shadows struggling and roaring desperately, as if trying to break free.

However, it could never break free from the branches' constraints and remained firmly locked in place.

After observing for a moment, the young man frowned and asked, "After this guy breaks through, can he really complete that Dao artifact?"

The deputy city lord squinted and said, "That's what our ancestors prophesied, Master Xie agrees, and even those charlatans from the Heavenly Evolution Sect have deduced that the number one Dao artifact in the world will appear in the Misty Cloud Sea. All destiny points to one thing. Do you think it will still fail?"

Upon hearing this, the young man's brows relaxed, and he smiled, saying, "Indeed! When this artifact is fully completed, it will be the day when our Great Wilderness Buzhou City unites the Five Realms!"

The deputy city lord stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

On the other side, the purple-robed elder, leading a dozen or so Xuan Tian Soul Ruins disciples, soared through the air.

"Master, where are we going?" a disciple behind the purple-robed elder asked in a low voice.

"Go to the altar in Yunling Sea! Judging from the previous altars that have gone missing, that should be the next target for those remnants!" the purple-robed elder said.

As they spoke, they pierced through the sea of ​​clouds, and an altar appeared before them.

"We've arrived!" said the old man in purple robes.

at this time……

Keng!

A sword's cry suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a golden-armored guard appeared in front of the crowd.

"Halt! Who goes there?" the golden-armored guard said with a cold expression.

Upon seeing this, the purple-robed elder quickly raised his hand, revealed his token, and said, "We are here on the orders of the Deputy City Lord to help defend the altar. Please make way!"

The golden-armored guard glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Wait here!"

After saying that, he turned and headed towards the altar.

"Elder, how dare a mere guard be so arrogant? He actually saw the token and still made us wait!" A disciple of Xuan Tian Soul Ruins said angrily.

Upon hearing this, the old man in purple robes sighed and said, "They are just following the rules!"

Although he said it that way, he knew it in his heart.

Ultimately, it's just that the other party looks down on him as a traitor.

However, the more he knew this, the more he felt that his choice was correct.

He firmly believed that as long as he made contributions to Buzhou City in the Great Wilderness this time, he would definitely be able to win the trust of the deputy city lord.

At that time, he will not only be a powerful figure in the misty sea of ​​clouds.

He is a major figure among the Five Heavenly Realms!

Thinking this, the golden-armored guard returned.

He glanced at the crowd, then fixed his gaze on the purple-robed elder, and said, "Elder Yang wants you to go over!"

"You bastard..." The young man behind the purple-robed elder looked increasingly grim.

Their own Grand Elder came to reinforce them with his token, and the other side didn't even personally greet him.

They actually ordered me to go there?

This is treating them all as subordinates!

what is this?

That's absolutely humiliating!

For a moment, everyone was furious and almost turned on each other.

However, the old man in purple robes simply cupped his hands and said, "Alright, we'll go right away!"

With that, he ordered everyone to follow him to the altar.

Upon reaching the altar, they could see Elder Yang sitting imposingly on his throne, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were dozing off.

Upon seeing this, the purple-robed elder quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Yan Xutong, the Grand Elder of Xuantian Soul Ruins, greets Elder Yang!"

However, after saying this, Elder Yang on the throne remained silent for a long time.

Elder Yan Xutong, the purple-robed elder, felt a slight stirring in his heart. He secretly raised his eyes to look ahead, only to find that Elder Yang was still feigning sleep, as if he had not heard anything.

The disciples of the Great Wilderness Buzhou City around him looked at him with mocking expressions, as if they were watching a joke.

Upon seeing this, Yan Xutong took a deep breath and quickly lowered his head again.

After several dozen breaths, he finally heard Elder Yang, who was on the divine throne opposite him, slowly say, "Get up!"

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Yan Xutong dared to stand up straight, but still maintained a respectful attitude.

Seeing this, Elder Yang said calmly, "What are you doing here?"

Yan Xutong hurriedly replied, "I am acting on the orders of the Deputy City Lord to assist Elder Yang in guarding the altar and capturing the traitor!"

"Traitor!" Elder Yang couldn't help but chuckle when he heard those two words, and then his gaze swept over the other person.

Sensing the gaze of the other party, all the Xuan Tian Soul Ruins disciples behind Yan Xutong showed expressions of anger.

Only Yan Xutong remained unmoved, seemingly oblivious to the disdain and contempt in the other's tone, and continued respectfully, "That's right!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yang scoffed and said, "What a joke! This altar is personally guarded by me, it's as solid as a rock, why would I need a bunch of useless trash like you to help?"

Yan Xutong took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, but still forced a smile and said, "Elder Yang is naturally a peerless master, but this enemy is different from others! It's very likely that several altars have already fallen..."

"Bullshit!" Elder Yang slammed his hand on the table and stood up, then looked down at Yan Xutong and said, "What ability could a mere remnant of the Xuan Tian Soul Ruins possibly have?"
