Even if everyone in the city was exhausted, he would never underestimate anyone protecting David. Every single one of them had demonstrated extraordinary courage and fighting spirit on the battlefield.
Not far from Long Yuan, Ning Zhi stood with his hands behind his back. His pitch black robe fluttered without being blown by the wind, swaying gently amidst the storm and demonic energy, without being stained by a single speck of dust.
He was tall and slender, with an indifferent and detached attitude, as if he was not involved in these powerful changes.
The overflowing devil energy, the ferocious devil dragons, and the hopeless atmosphere in the city were unable to raise the slightest ripple in his heart, as if all the conflicts, killings, and lives and deaths in this world had nothing to do with him.
But those eyes, as deep as an ancient ice pool, never left the direction of the city lord’s mansion below, his gaze penetrated the layers of demonic energy and ruins, fixed tightly on that tightly closed secret room.
Deep within his eyes was hidden the burning desire and anticipation that he had forcibly suppressed for so long, as well as a hint of annoyance and pleasure that had long been suppressed.
He had waited for this day for too long.
From the confrontation in the mortal world to the chaotic escape in the heavenly realm, and now to the reawakening of the heavenly realm, he endured humiliation and hardship, hid in seclusion and trained diligently, even falling into the devil’s path to gain supreme power, all for the sake of this moment.
Once David came out of his seclusion, he would trample all over him himself, making him feel all the pain and humiliation he had endured.
Sonya stood quietly beside Ning Zhi, her purple dress fluttering, like a secluded orchid in the valley, pure and haughty, like a celestial being exiled from heaven.
Her skin was snow white, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and her temperament was very gentle. It seemed incompatible with the fierce demonic energy and ferocious dragons around it, like a snow lotus blooming in the darkness, pure and enchanting.
Her gaze was also fixed on the dilapidated city below, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, her beautiful face revealing an indescribable expression of confusion and unease.
For some reason, ever since he arrived at Yunxian City, he had been constantly haunted by a strange and inexplicable feeling.
His heart felt burning, as if there was an invisible thread extending from the city, tightly coiled around his heart, and constantly pulling at it.
It was a familiar yet strange feeling, a calling that was engraved in his soul, but shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible for him to touch or see clearly.
He tried to search for the source of this strangeness, but his mind was blank, only a faint throbbing pain remained, as if an important memory had been forcibly sealed in the deepest part of his soul.
He turned his head and glanced at Ning Zhi, who was standing quietly beside him, before speaking softly, his voice clear and cold like spring water: “Little brother, why are we waiting here? What do the people in the city have to do with us?”
Hearing that, Ning Zhi smiled faintly, his gaze still fixed on the City Lord’s Mansion, and said calmly, “Senior Brother, what we are waiting for is not a resident of the city, but one person. A person who is very important to me, and also very important to you.”
Sonya frowned even more deeply: “Important person? But I don’t have any impression of this city or anything here.”
“That is not important.”
Ning Zhi spoke calmly, her voice gentle but containing undeniable confidence, “You will understand when he comes out.”
Sonya didn’t ask any more questions, but turned her gaze back to Yunxian City, the strange feeling in her heart grew stronger.
The atmosphere above the Yunxian city walls was extremely tense.
Long Zhan was covered in blood, the golden dragon blood seeping into his clothes and dripping down the gaps in his armor, forming a dazzling pool of blood on the city bricks beneath his feet.
The long sword in his hand had long been broken, leaving only half of the cracked blade, which he held tightly on the ground, supporting his staggering body.
His injuries were severe, his meridians were badly damaged, and his Heavenly Dragon bloodline was in chaos. The originally brilliant golden dragon energy had become dim and weak.
Every breath aggravated the wounds within his body, causing excruciating pain. Cold sweat continued to flow from his forehead, mixed with blood and dripped down his cheeks.
But he still stood straight, his eyes blazing, staring intently at the black-clothed figure in the sky, without the slightest hesitation.
He knew very well that the young man in black before him possessed unimaginable strength.
Even the strongest experts in the temple were seriously injured by his attack and fled in a miserable state. In the entire Celestial Realm, almost no one was able to withstand its power.
