Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Golden Ancient City

"A Spirit Saint! There’s actually a Spirit Saint in charge!"

"Damn it! To think a VIP like a Spirit Saint is here. The Liszt Clan really did plan this from the start!"

"..."

The dozens of Spiritualists traveling with the Liszt Clan’s caravan paled the moment they sensed Master Meida’s Spiritual Pressure, a look of despair flashing in their eyes.

If a Spirit Saint like Master Meida weren’t present, the dozens of Spiritualists on site would have dared to fight the Liszt Clan’s experts to the bitter end.

But with Master Meida present, those dozens of Spiritualists were facing certain death.

"Everyone, now that you know the Liszt Clan’s secret, you can’t be allowed to simply leave. I know you’re worried that the Liszt Clan will kill you to silence you in the future."

"However, rest assured. You are all exceptionally talented individuals. As long as you’re willing to join the Liszt Clan and become one of us, we naturally won’t move against you. Furthermore, if you help us complete this mission, you’ll all receive a massive reward—enough to live the rest of your lives in wealth and luxury on Blue Star."

Ankalei said with a faint smile, his voice full of enthusiasm.

The dozens of Spiritualists hesitated for a moment before abandoning their plan to fight to the death and take everyone down with them.

Kapis complained via telepathy, "Damn it, those idiots! How could they fall for his trick so easily? It’s obvious Ankalei is up to no good!"

Shu Feng replied telepathically, "Because they don’t have a choice. If they didn’t agree, they’d be dead already."

The group continued onward, stopping a thousand meters before the main gate of the Golden Ancient City.

"You three, go on ahead!"

Ankalei commanded coldly, pointing a finger at Shu Feng and two other male Spiritualists.

Kapis gritted her teeth and shouted, "Ankalei, Wu Ren is our friend! You can’t do this!"

Zhu Li remained silent.

Lena hesitated for a moment, a flicker of conflict in her eyes, but ultimately said nothing. Her friendship with Shu Feng didn’t run that deep.

"Kapis, if one of you three is willing to take his place and scout ahead, I certainly wouldn’t object."

Ankalei gave a slight smile, finally tearing away his ’ladies first’ facade and revealing his cruel, predatory nature.

Kapis’s face paled, and a look of conflict flashed in her pretty eyes. Though she truly considered Shu Feng a friend, the thought of dying in his place made her hesitate.

Shu Feng patted Kapis’s shoulder and smiled. "Kapis, I’ll go."

Kapis’s eyes reddened as she blamed herself. "I’m sorry, Wu Ren. This is all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have joined this caravan."

Shu Feng smiled. "No. I was lucky to meet you."

’If I hadn’t met Kapis, how would I have ever found this priceless Golden Ancient City? And though I’m already quite wealthy, you can never have enough money.’

’Maintaining the Light Flame God Church, recruiting new believers... all of it requires massive amounts of funding.’

’Could he have fallen in love with me? What a pity. Such a good man is about to die.’

A touched expression flashed in Kapis’s pretty eyes. She suddenly hugged Shu Feng and said, "If we make it out of this alive, let’s be together!"

Shu Feng said, "I’m sorry, Kapis. I already have a wife."

Kapis gave a dazzling smile and whispered a promise in Shu Feng’s ear, "That’s fine. I can be your mistress!"

Ankalei said coldly, "That’s enough! Go!"

Shu Feng and the other two Spiritualists reluctantly started walking toward the Golden Ancient City.

They had only walked ten meters when a giant Demonized Earthworm suddenly burst from the ground. It opened its massive maw, swallowed Shu Feng whole, and burrowed back underground.

BANG! BANG!

Beams of light slammed into the Demonized Earthworm’s body, blasting its midsection to smithereens. As it crashed to the ground, it opened its mouth and spat out a mangled pile of flesh.

"Wu Ren!"

Kapis’s eyes reddened as she let out a sorrowful cry.

’That eyesore is finally dead!’

Ankalei glanced at the mangled heap of flesh and sneered in contempt. He’d taken an instant dislike to Shu Feng but hadn’t acted on it. Now, faced with an opportunity to send someone to their death, he had conveniently volunteered him.

"Continue!"

At Ankalei’s command, the other two Spiritualists had no choice but to continue toward the gate of the Golden Ancient City.

Just as the two Spiritualists reached the entrance to the Golden Ancient City, two monsters with Sharp Claws and maws that bloomed open like grotesque flowers abruptly appeared from the city’s surroundings, pouncing on them with the speed of Lightning.

The monsters’ grotesque, flower-like maws snapped shut, instantly crushing the two Spiritualists’ heads.

"Shadow Hand!"

From the shadows surrounding the Golden Ancient City, a pair of giant shadow hands emerged and lunged for the two monsters.

The massive shadow hands, powerful enough to easily crush even Spirit Venerable Realm Powerhouses, seized the two monsters, only to be instantly absorbed by them.

’Immune to Shadow Magic!’

Master Meida frowned slightly, pointed his Magic Staff, and cast another spell. "Sacred Flame!"

In an instant, a Flame imbued with sacred light tore through the air and slammed into one of the monsters.

The monster shrieked in agony as black smoke billowed from its body, mingling with the Sacred Flame. It writhed on the ground as its body continuously broke down and disintegrated.

The other monster dove directly into the shadows of the Golden Ancient City and vanished.

Evidently, these were bizarre creatures that dwelled within the shadows of the Golden Ancient City.

"Great Brightness Technique!"

Master Meida gave a slight nod. One of his senior disciples, a Spirit Venerable Level Mage named Jiaxi, raised his Magic Staff and pointed it at the Golden Ancient City.

A dazzlingly brilliant light shot out, illuminating the shadows of the Golden Ancient City and dispelling all the darkness around it.

At once, a horrifying scene was revealed. From within the shadows of the Golden Ancient City, hundreds of hidden shadow monsters scattered in every direction, diving into whatever pockets of darkness they could find to escape the light.

A chill ran down everyone’s spine at the sight of the hundreds of shadow monsters.

The Erosion Realm was perennially shrouded in gloom, a place of ubiquitous shadows, making it the perfect habitat for those shadow monsters to live and conceal themselves.

Even for a Spirit Saint Level powerhouse, dealing with hundreds of such shadow monsters would be no easy task.

An expert from the Liszt Clan at the Spirit Venerable Realm drew his Long Sword and slashed five of the Spiritualists, opening up several wounds on their bodies. He then commanded coldly, "You five, go!"
