Urban Wolf King

The white-bearded old man led Wang Yan and Duobao, bypassing ridge after ridge, heading towards the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak.

They were seen sometimes walking along the path on the ridges, sometimes flying low in mid-air, and sometimes weaving through the dense forest.

Wang Yan shared a set of incantations with the white-bearded old man intermittently, but these incantations were entirely made up by Wang Yan, even he couldn't make sense of them, and the white-bearded old man listened as if in a fog.

Nonetheless, the more it was so, the more the white-bearded old man believed that the incantations Wang Yan shared were profoundly mysterious. He was exceedingly delighted, only hoping to practice them soon.

The more they walked in, the more Duobao felt impressed by Wang Yan's wisdom in letting the white-bearded old man lead the way.

As it was evident that within Xianyang City, traps and arrays were everywhere, one misstep would surely trigger an array, and then they would surely be ensnared in it.

Wang Yan, with an expressionless face, followed behind, memorizing the roads they traversed. However, he couldn't help but be amazed at how intricate Xianyang City's array was.

Luckily, he remembered the directions the white-bearded old man took and had seen through almost eighty to ninety percent of the key to this array.

At this point, the array was no threat at all in Wang Yan's eyes.

Soon enough, the trio finally reached the base of the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak, where a cave was visible below its base.

Upon entering the cave and walking a distance of some seven or eight steps, they saw a massive boulder blocking the path.

The white-bearded old man stood under the boulder and looked back at Wang Yan with a wide smile, saying, "Lord Chancellor, ahead is the royal palace, and I cannot enter without an order. Please go in alone while I and your subordinate wait here for you."

Wang Yan glanced up at the huge stone before him and saw that this stone was also part of an array.

However, this boulder array shared the same origin as the one outside, so Wang Yan merely scanned it with a glance and understood the key to this array.

Then, Wang Yan stepped forward and gently tapped a few spots on the boulder with his finger, causing the entire boulder to rumble and slowly move aside.

Behind the boulder lay a flat stone road, with two rows of large candles burning on either side, their dim light stretching deep into the distance, vanishing into the darkness.

Even with Wang Yan's current cultivation, all he could see was still just darkness.

Duobao moved beside Wang Yan and said in a low voice, "Marshal, I feel that the key to the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak Magical Treasure lies at the base of this peak. To obtain this treasure, one must reach its interior. However, I sense it is very dangerous inside."

Wang Yan nodded slightly; he surely understood the danger of entering this Magical Treasure, and furthermore, Ying Zheng might well be within it.

However, Wang Yan thought that with Li Si's identity as a cover, combined with never revealing his Demon God's cultivation, there might be a slim chance of victory.

Even with just a slim chance, Wang Yan would not give up.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan stepped forward and entered the stone gate.

But as Wang Yan just passed the boulder, suddenly the boulder began to rumble and quickly closed, threatening to trap Wang Yan within.

Seeing this, the white-bearded old man's face changed dramatically and exclaimed, "You're not the Chancellor, who on earth are you?"

Then, the white-bearded old man shouted towards the outside of the cave, "Someone, there's an intruder."

Wang Yan frowned; it was only as he passed the boulder that he sensed another hidden array within the stone gate, one which detected his unfamiliar aura and sent out an alert.

Indeed, traps were everywhere in Xianyang City, and despite his caution, he was still caught in one.

Seeing that the boulder was about to close, at this moment, Wang Yan had only two choices.

One was to retreat; although there were hundreds of thousands of Demon Cultivators outside, Wang Yan was confident in escaping Xianyang City with Duobao.

The second choice was to advance. However, then without Li Si's identity as cover, he would face Ying Zheng directly, greatly increasing the danger.

But the stone gate was closing too fast, leaving Wang Yan with no time to ponder over it.

If you don't decide quickly, chaos will ensue.

Wang Yan raised an eyebrow and immediately made a decision.

He turned around, lifted his hands, drawing Duobao and the white-bearded old man towards him with a force of suction from his palms.

Then, Wang Yan charged forward, immediately rushing into the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak.

Just as Wang Yan rushed past the stone gate, the gate closed with a bang.

Through the closing crack of the gate, Wang Yan saw countless Demon Cultivators rushing into the stone cave.

Upon seeing the closed stone gate, these Demon Cultivators panicked at once.

Wang Yan set down Duobao and the white-bearded old man, then with a wave of his hand, several hundred array flags flew out and attached themselves to the stone gate.

The numerous array flags instantly formed an array on the stone gate, blocking it.

Even if those outside could open the stone gate, they wouldn't be able to break this array.

After finishing this, Wang Yan then turned around.

At this moment, the white-bearded old man stood there dumbfounded with terror, trembling uncontrollably, and asked fearfully, "You... who are you really?"

Wang Yan raised his hand, removed the Human Skin Mask, revealing his true face.

Upon seeing Wang Yan's face, the white-bearded old man looked as if he had seen the most terrifying monster in the world, his lips trembling as he stammered out three words: "Demon... Wolf... King..."

Though just three words, the white-bearded old man seemed to have used up all his strength and then his legs gave way as he collapsed to the ground.

Wang Yan raised his hand, and three Golden Rings flew out, wrapping around the white-bearded old man, binding him tightly.

The white-bearded old man was petrified, but once the three Golden Rings restrained him and he felt pain throughout his body, he came back to his senses.

"Demon Wolf King, how dare you disturb His Majesty, you're courting death. I advise you to release me, otherwise, if you truly anger His Majesty, you will have no way out."

Wang Yan replied indifferently, "Alright, I'd like to see what's so scary about Ying Zheng."

The white-bearded old man said, "You won't even meet His Majesty in person, as His Majesty's Personal Guard is present, and no one escapes their pursuit. If you turn back now, leaving here, there's still a glimmer of hope."

Mentioning the Personal Guard sent a shiver down the white-bearded old man's spine as if recalling their terrifying presence.

"Fine, then I'll see what makes this Personal Guard so terrifying."

With that, Wang Yan ordered Duobao to grab the white-bearded old man, and the three of them walked along the greenstone road deeper into the Heaven-Reaching Giant Peak.

Seeing Wang Yan actually daring to proceed forward, the white-bearded old man was terrified, pale, thinking if only he had known, he wouldn't have guided Wang Yan here.

Now, his arms had not grown back, yet he was about to lose his life.

Before Wang Yan could take a few steps, suddenly from the darkness at the end of the greenstone road came the low, resonant shouts: "Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Moreover, the shouting was getting closer and closer.

Upon hearing this, the white-bearded old man cried out in panic, "No, it's the Personal Guard, the Personal Guard is here!"
