Upon hearing that the City Lord of Illusion is a Five Elements Morning Qi expert, Wu Ancestor Li and others all turned pale, unable to speak for a moment.
Wang Yan slowly said, "With my current cultivation level, I am considered the top of the Four Symbols, yet it's impossible for me to repel millions of Demon Cultivators a few miles away with a single forceful shout. From this, it seems that the difference between the Four Symbols Peak and the Five Elements Morning Qi is indeed vast."
Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, everyone drew a sharp breath, and after a while, Wu Ancestor Li said in a low voice, "If the Five Elements Morning Qi Asura is so terrifying, then millions of our Demon Cultivators could be killed with just a few cold hums from him."
"Yeah, so what should we do now? Should we flee back?"
"If we flee, what will happen to Yan Shilin, Ma Jun, and the millions of brothers? What about Little Mars?"
For a while, a heated discussion rose among the crowd, but no one had any good ideas, so they all turned to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan stood up slowly and said, "Everyone, don't worry, I've long wanted to meet a Five Elements Morning Qi expert."
Seeing Wang Yan speaking so calmly, the previously panic-stricken crowd gradually calmed down.
Fang Jinchun quickly stood up and said, "Big brother, I'll go with you. I must atone for my sins."
Upon hearing this, everyone around also said, "Yes, we'll go together."
"There's nothing to fear, we'll go together."
"At worst, it's just death."
...
Wang Yan waved his hand, smiled lightly, and said, "This time, I mainly want to investigate the truth and falsehood of the Five Elements Morning Qi expert, understand the Dharma Gate from Harmonious Four Symbols to Five Elements Morning Qi while seizing the opportunity to rescue Little Mars. Therefore, too many people would be inconvenient, so just myself is enough."
Seeing everyone still insisting, Wang Yan waved his hand again and said, "We have now broken through the Five Passes, these Passes are extremely important for us, they are the foundation to attack the Nether Realm. Therefore, I ask everyone to return to the Five Passes immediately, strengthen the defense, so if I rescue Little Mars and retreat and am chased by the City Lord of Illusion, we have a place to stand. This also counts as everyone providing me a strong backup."
Upon hearing Wang Yan say this, everyone understood that Wang Yan gave them a graceful way out. Though they wanted to go with Wang Yan, they knew that if they went, they might not only fail to help but also become a burden to Wang Yan.
Immediately, everyone parted reluctantly with Wang Yan and quickly returned to the front Five Passes.
Once inside the Five Passes, everyone not only worked hard to set up defensive arrays in preparation for the ghost army's counterattack but Wu Ancestor Li and others also seized every moment to cultivate, striving to catch up with Wang Yan.
If this time their cultivation level was as good as Wang Yan's, they would be fully qualified to go to Sin Mirror Pass with Wang Yan instead of staying here doing nothing.
Meanwhile, Wang Yan, alone, headed towards Sin Mirror Pass.
After flying a mile, he saw a blinding sight, a shiny scene expanding into the distance continuously.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the shiny light was ice sculptures, extending for miles.
The closest to Wang Yan was Yan Shilin, followed by Ma Jun, then the millions of Demon Cultivators.
Each of them, like Fang Jinchun earlier, was encased in ice. Through the ice, each person's eager-to-return expression was vividly evident.
Wang Yan's eyes flickered, displaying both pain and anger, as he flew down, standing in front of Yan Shilin and others, solemnly saying, "Brothers, I will definitely find a way to save you."
After saying that, Wang Yan waved his hand, sending out streams of Divine Power, collecting Yan Shilin and others into the Starlight Ring.
Looking at the empty space before him, Wang Yan gritted his teeth, stared into the distance, and said, "City Lord of Illusion, no matter how powerful you are, I must avenge this."
After speaking, Wang Yan soared up and flew towards Sin Mirror City.
By half-day, Wang Yan landed on a large and solemn city.
At this moment, Wang Yan was shrouded in billowing black smoke, indistinguishable from ordinary Asuras, not only making it impossible to discern his aura but also covering his original appearance.
This city looked very strange, with the walls smooth like mirrors. Through the mirror-like walls, any shadow could be seen.
Moreover, the city gates were wide open, countless Evil Ghost Asuras busily coming and going, with no hindrance.
Seeing this, Wang Yan was puzzled that despite leading the Demon Cultivators army through the Five Passes, there was no sense of any tense battle here.
However, Wang Yan quickly realized that if the City Lord of Illusion was strong enough to repel millions of Demon Cultivators with a single shout, then naturally he wouldn't be bothered by the Demon Cultivators army.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan snorted coldly internally: Since it's like this, it will just make it convenient for me to act.
Wang Yan blended into the crowd of Evil Ghost Asuras, striding into Sin Mirror City.
The city was indeed vast, with stone houses and wide stone roads between them, filled with ghosts bustling about. The place was unexpectedly lively.
This was Wang Yan's first time entering the Ghost City, originally thinking the Ghost City would be dead silent, but unexpectedly, it was not much different from a regular city.
Wang Yan took half a day's effort to circle around Sin Mirror City, and through conversations of Asuras and Evil Ghosts around, he confirmed that the City Lord of Illusion lived in the deepest part of Sin Mirror City, in the largest courtyard.
Wang Yan stood not far away from the courtyard, observing it.
Indeed, in this courtyard, there were dozens of stone houses, and from the deep within the courtyard, waves of familiar scorching aura kept emanating—that was Little Mars' aura.
Being master and servant, Wang Yan and Little Mars were connected in mind, thus clearly sensing Little Mars' aura.
At that moment, Wang Yan judged that Little Mars must be enduring immense pain because his aura was not only weak but struggling.
Feeling Little Mars' agony, Wang Yan wished to rush into the courtyard to rescue him, but there was another powerful aura looming within the stone house, making Wang Yan dare not move rashly.
The owner of this aura must be the City Lord of Illusion.
Although through Fang Jinchun's description, Wang Yan had some understanding of the City Lord of Illusion's might, seeing it now firsthand, Fang Jinchun's description was rather understating than otherwise.
Before the City Lord of Illusion, Wang Yan self-assessed that he could hardly withstand even a single move.
Now, with the City Lord of Illusion and Little Mars together at one place, Wang Yan had almost no hope of rescuing Little Mars.
