Urban Wolf King

Seeing the City Lord of Illusion walk in, Feng Yumeng and the other three Asuras all stood up and bowed, calling, "Greetings, City Lord of Illusion."

Under the gaze of the City Lord of Illusion, Wang Yan also slowly stood up, standing opposite him.

However, Wang Yan merely held his head high and stood there, without saluting like the others.

Seeing that Wang Yan not only treated Feng Yumeng as if he were nothing, but even when meeting the City Lord of Illusion, a Five Elements Morning Qi expert, he still did not salute, Feng Yumeng and the others all changed expressions drastically, staring blankly at Wang Yan and the City Lord of Illusion.

The eyes of the City Lord of Illusion fixed on Wang Yan, the light in them flickering a few times, then he laughed and said, "Truly the waves of the Yangtze River push ever forward. I did not expect such cultivation to appear among the Harmonious Four Symbols. I do not know which one you are?"

"Black Iron King," Wang Yan replied, neither humble nor overbearing.

Seeing how cold Wang Yan was, while the City Lord of Illusion still held him in such esteem, Feng Yumeng and the four Asuras were shocked yet again, and could not help all looking toward Wang Yan.

Now, when they looked at Wang Yan again, they indeed saw the dense Yin Qi around him; his cultivation was truly extraordinary.

In particular, the Sharp-Mouthed Monkey-faced Asura felt a jolt in his heart. He had previously been familiar with the Black Iron King and knew his background, yet he had not expected the Black Iron King's cultivation to have increased so quickly.

The gaze of the City Lord of Illusion finally shifted away from Wang Yan and turned toward Feng Yumeng and the other three as he said, "This time I have invited you all here to lend me a hand in absorbing a Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire."

Hearing this, the four of them were all startled and moved. Feng Yumeng hurriedly said, "Congratulations, my Lord City Lord, on breaking through another Primordial and reaching the Realm of Duality."

The others also hastily followed Feng Yumeng in offering congratulations.

One must know that Marvels of Heaven and Earth are extremely difficult to find, even harder than the remnants of the Four Symbols. Once one is found, it is equivalent to having half a foot across the threshold of breakthrough.

But then Feng Yumeng spoke with some doubt, saying, "My Lord City Lord, this junior is somewhat confused. After finding a Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, as long as a Five Elements Array is set up, and you enter the Array with the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, imprinting your brand into the Heart Spirit of the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire and refining it into like-minded unity, you will immediately break through. Why then do you still need the help of the five of us?"

Feng Yumeng voiced exactly what the others were wondering in their hearts, while Wang Yan, who had not understood how to break through to Five Elements Morning Qi, now immediately understood upon hearing this.

So to break through to Five Elements Morning Qi, one had to enter a Five Elements Array together with a Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire and refine it into like-minded unity, thus achieving breakthrough.

Hearing Feng Yumeng's words, the City Lord of Illusion nodded and said, "What you say is not wrong, but this Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire I obtained once had an owner, and this owner left an extremely deep imprint in the Heart Spirit of the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire. I have tried for a long time without success, so I could only ask the five of you to assist me."

Hearing this, Wang Yan immediately understood why, when he had just been standing outside, his sense of Little Mars's Heart Spirit connection to him had intermittently weakened and strengthened—so it was this City Lord of Illusion trying to erase his imprint in Little Mars's heart.

It seemed he had come at exactly the right time; when he saw Little Mars later, he would immediately act as opportunity arose.

However, at this moment, a look of hesitation appeared on Feng Yumeng's face. He glanced at the Sharp-Mouthed Monkey-faced Asura and the others before awkwardly saying, "My Lord City Lord, originally, since you summoned us, we would naturally obey without hesitation. But from what you say, this Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire is something that already has a master, and that master is likely a senior of the Five Elements Morning Qi. If I help My Lord erase that senior's imprint, once that senior blames us, I fear the five of us will not escape death."

Once Feng Yumeng finished speaking, the Sharp-Mouthed Monkey-faced Asura and the others all nodded one after another.

If they truly offended a senior of the Five Elements Morning Qi, that would indeed be courting death.

The City Lord of Illusion smiled faintly and said, "You are overthinking things. This Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire of mine was not seized from some Asura, but taken from the Human Realm army."

"The Human Realm army?" Feng Yumeng and the other three were stunned at once and all turned to look at the City Lord of Illusion.

The City Lord of Illusion nodded and said, "That's right. You've also heard that the Human Realm army entered the Nether Realm and even broke through five passes in succession. But given their strength, how could they possibly have broken through five passes in a row? It was precisely because I discovered this Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire within the Human Realm army that I ordered the City Lords of those passes to all retreat into my Sin Mirror City and lured the Human Realm army over, seizing the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire."

Hearing this, Feng Yumeng and the others nodded repeatedly, at once expressing that they would do their utmost to help the City Lord of Illusion.

Wang Yan also sighed inwardly, finally understanding the true reason the first five passes had been breached.

Immediately, the City Lord of Illusion led Feng Yumeng and the other four away from this place, heading toward a nearby stone house.

They saw that the area around this stone house was defended with extreme strictness, with dozens of Asuras patrolling back and forth. The surroundings of the stone house were also filled with Arrays; if anyone tried to sneak close to the stone house, they would inevitably trigger the Arrays.

Seeing such tight defenses, Wang Yan secretly felt fortunate that he had not forced his way in, or he would not even have made it into this stone house.

Following behind the City Lord of Illusion, Wang Yan and the other four entered the stone house with ease.

As soon as he entered the stone house, Wang Yan's gaze immediately fell upon its center.

There, in the very center of the stone house, was a five-pointed Array, each point a different color—gold, azure, green, red, and yellow.

On the red point, Little Mars was bound there by strands of Divine Power, his entire body unable to move in the slightest.

The entire Grand Array was slowly revolving, and as it turned, Little Mars's aura grew weaker and weaker.

At this sight, a surge of fury rose in Wang Yan's heart, and he wished he could rush forward immediately and rescue Little Mars.

However, Wang Yan still forcefully restrained himself, outwardly maintaining an expression of cold indifference.

Upon seeing Little Mars, Feng Yumeng and the others could not help crying out in surprise, "It's actually a Five Elements Exotic Beast!"

"Indeed, it's not merely a simple Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire."

In an instant, a hint of greed flashed in the eyes of all four of them. If they did not know this belonged to the City Lord of Illusion, they would likely have already gone forward to seize it.

The Five Elements Exotic Beast was completely different from a Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire. Although both could help break through to Five Elements Morning Qi, the realm achieved after breakthrough was worlds apart.

The City Lord of Illusion said, "Gentlemen, please each stand at one of the Five Elements Array's corners. Now I am only one step away from subduing this Five Elements Exotic Beast. As long as you lend me a little help, I will immediately succeed."

Hearing this, Feng Yumeng and the others at once extinguished the greed in their hearts and hurried to the Array, each finding a corner to stand on.

Wang Yan had already moved a step ahead, standing at the fire corner of the Five Elements Array, just behind Little Mars.

The City Lord of Illusion also stepped into the Five Elements Array, facing Little Mars. He smiled faintly and said, "As of today, you can no longer escape the palm of my hand. Grand Array, activate—"

With those words, the Five Elements Array began spinning rapidly. Immediately, an endless stream of energy poured into Little Mars's body, and they heard Little Mars's sharp cries of pain pierce the sky, heart-rending and soul-tearing.
