The Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds?
 

Yang Ling said inwardly,
It’s awful!
The Titans affiliated to the Power King, the Darkness Cavalry affiliated to the King of Darkness, and the other factions present were also stunned. They retreated again in a flurry. If they were wary of the Algernon Core Deity, then they were terrified by the awe-inspiring Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds.
 

Falling into the hands of Algernon Core Deity was probably a scary matter. But if they fell into the hands of the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds, death would be just the beginning. Their souls would be extracted and thrown into a dissolving pond to make new angels. They might even be thrown into purgatory and turned into puppet-like Purgatory Angels. They would never get reborn–a fate worse than death.
 


Speak! Who are you, and how did you lift the Angels’ Seal?
The Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds was expressionless, then he cast an ice-cold glance at Yang Ling before looking calmly at the Blood Angel Ophelia. His expression was still calm, but a wave of pressure suddenly appeared in the air, like a domain of a hundredfold gravity. The people almost suffocated.
 


Lord, save me! Lord, save me!



 

The Blood Angel Ophelia shivered, and her face turned pale. She looked in fright at Yang Ling and begged for his help. She also subconsciously leaned against his body. When she saw the awe-inspiring Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds, many appalling scenes buried in the depths of her mind had emerged, and she got a splitting headache. She felt like she’d suffered a formless attack, and her snow-white wings got darker in the face of the Lord’s supreme pressure. Her wings gradually turned red.
 

A Blood Angel with blood-red wings appeared in front of the crowd!
 

Previously, the Blood Angel Ophelia had been using an illusion spell to turn her wings snow-white, which she had done to avert attracting the crowd’s attention. On the surface, she didn’t seem any different than ordinary angels. But, in the face of the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds’ wave of pressure, her body’s energy became messy, and her spell was broken.
 


Demon God Battle Formation!

 

The Corpse Wizard King gnashed his teeth and stood in front of Yang Ling bravely. He commanded the team to get into formation and take defense. Strenuously, they resisted the wave of pressure, taking some of the weight off Ophelia. The Corpse Wizard King held the legendary Death Master Divine Weapon, the Death Horn, tightly, and he gritted his teeth as he made preparations for the worst.
 

Buzz!
 

As a soft cry echoed out, a scarlet magical barrier spread and enveloped the crowd. The Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, and the others depended upon the Demon God Battle Formation’s power to resist the terrifying wave of pressure emanating from the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds.
 


Huh? The Angel Battle Formation?
When the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds saw the scarlet halo around the crowd’s bodies and detected its peculiar ripples, he cried out in surprise. He muttered to himself for a moment, and his face fell. He looked at Yang Ling and said calmly,
You have broken the Soul Seal of the City Amongst the Clouds’ angels, stolen our Angel Battle Formation and attacked the Algernon Core Deity’s soul quietly. Pretty impressive. Speak! Who are you, and how many other secrets of the City Amongst the Clouds do you know?

 

The Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds spoke slowly, pausing after every sentence. With every pause, the formless wave of pressure in the air got heavier. The Corpse Wizard King, the Dark Dragon King, and all the others who bore its brunt turned pale, as did the Titans and the Darkness Cavalrymen. They quickly retreated in alarm.
 

It was said that the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds was close to becoming a Creator, and his power was of unfathomable depths. Even the Power King, the King of Darkness and other peerless powerhouses would be very wary of him, let alone ordinary people.


 


Brother Kalk, who is that black-eyed, black-haired youth? How did he provoke an expert at the level of the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds?
a wanderer softly asked his companion. He couldn’t figure out who Yang Ling was, and he also couldn’t understand how he angered an expert such as the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds.
 


Who knows? But he’s surely doomed. Even if he had 10,000 times as many guards, they still couldn’t block the deadly strike of the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds.
The wanderer called Kalk shook his head. He wasn’t aware of much, but he could still ascertain that anyone who angered the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds wouldn’t survive.
 


That’s right. That youth is doomed, and in several hundred years, the world will probably get another ruthless Purgatory Angel.
As a bearded wanderer thought about the way the City Amongst the Clouds dealt with its captives, he shivered with fear. If he had a choice, he would rather die in battle than surrender to the City Amongst the Clouds.
 

…
 

The crowd that had retreated far away discussed this spiritedly. In their eyes, Yang Ling was already a dead man.
 

Should he enter the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension and take temporary refuge in it?
 

As Yang Ling observed the expressionless Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds and sensed the heavy wave of pressure in the air, he took a deep breath and strived hard to keep his calm. The Wizard Pagoda’s dimension wasn’t omnipotent. It could stump an ordinary God-Level expert, but no one knew whether it could stump an apex Core Deity. The power of the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds was so terrifying. He’d managed to inflict great pain upon the Corpse Wizard King and his companions before he even attacked. The terror of his all-out attack was really unimaginable!
 

Entering the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension and taking refuge in it would be very convenient. But, if he lured the powerful Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds into it after him, then he was essentially inviting a wolf to his house. The consequences would be too horrible to imagine.
 


City Lord, we are just ordinary wanderers. Isn’t this just a misunderstanding?
Yang Ling said, casting a meaningful glance at the Golden Roc next to him. He asked him to get ready to charge. Yang Ling had decided to take the Corpse Wizard King and the others into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension before rushing out with the Golden Roc at full speed. This way, the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds wouldn’t bother with looking for the Corpse Wizard King and his companions. If Yang Ling and the Golden Roc weren’t encumbered by the others, they would be able to move even faster.
 


A misunderstanding?
The Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds sneered coldly. As he observed Yang Ling’s black eyes and black hair, he couldn’t help but think about his strange Soul Attacks. He suddenly recalled something that had been buried many years ago: the Graveyard of Gods and Devils where so many gods had died. An appalling thought suddenly ran across his mind.


 

They’d come back! He didn’t expect that they could ever come back.
 

The Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds furrowed his brows and took a deep breath. He calmed down quickly and looked at Yang Ling. He said coldly,
So many years have already passed; I didn’t expect that Ancient Wizards like you would ever come back. Speak! Where are your companions, and what do you plan to do in the Dimensions where we live?

 

A bone-chilling wind, as cold as an ancient glacier, began to blow, and the temperature within a perimeter of a hundred miles fell dramatically. The Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds was still expressionless, but he had already started making preparations for an attack. The wind picked up and the clouds moved. A world-shaking great battle was imminent.
 

Ancient Wizards?
 

Yang Ling shivered. He didn’t expect that the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds would discern his true status so quickly. He was alarmed, and he waved his hand immediately to move the Corpse Wizard King and others into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. The Golden Roc next to him also responded swiftly. It had already discerned that the current situation was far from good, and it quickly took its true form without waiting for Yang Ling’s instructions. It flapped its wings hard and carried Yang Ling into the sky. It hoped to get out at the highest speed possible!
 

The power of the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds was so terrifying, just a hint of it would make people’s scalps go
 

numb. Even if Yang Ling joined hands with the Golden Roc, he still wouldn’t have any chance of victory. This was why he didn’t dare to stay here.
 

Swoosh!
 

The Golden Roc was as swift as lightning, and he instantly traversed a large distance. But Yang Ling couldn’t let out a sigh of relief just yet. The Golden Roc suddenly fell down in a dizzy spell. Its head was buzzing; it felt like it had run into a formless mirror.
 

Aurora Shield!


 

This was the Light Law’s ultimate mystery, and it could block most attacks. It could also strand enemies. At first, this shield would flicker with silver light. But, if this spell was practiced to the apex, the shield would become colorless and odorless. No one would be able to defend against it effectively. The Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds was a powerhouse who focused on practicing the Light Law, and it could be said that his comprehension of this aspect was peerless.
 


Humph! Do you want to escape? It won’t be so easy.
The Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord snorted coldly and moved again. He instantly appeared in front of Yang Ling and the Golden Roc.
Speak! How many companions do you have, and where are they hiding?

 

Buzz!
 

Yang Ling turned his hand over and pulled the Battle Soul Blade from his back. He pounced at the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds without any hesitation. If he couldn’t escape, then he would fight. This wasn’t any different than coming across a starved wolf on a desolate mountain ridge. Escape wasn’t a feasible solution; one could only gnash his teeth and fight. It was the only way one had a chance to survive!
 


Soul Dissolving Spell!

 

Yang Ling set his jaw and teleported toward Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds. He let out a shout and cast the Soul Dissolving Wizard Spell with his whole power. A scarlet halo appeared around the Battle Soul Blade, and he slashed fiercely at the neck of the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds. After he’d put a large amount of Wizard Power into the Battle Soul Blade, it shone brightly, and many mysterious symbols appeared on it. This was accompanied by a murderous aura that enveloped both the sky and land alike.
 


Humph! That’s right; those are the means of Ancient Wizards.

 

The Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds saw Yang Ling, who’d appeared in front of him, and he also saw the mysterious symbols on the Battle Soul Blade, as well as the terrifying blade’s tip. He didn’t dare to take this lightly. His pupils contracted. He pulled out his sharp Light Sword and thrust it quietly.
 

Ding!
 

The Light Sword of the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord blocked Yang Ling’s heavy Battle Soul Blade, and a metallic sound rang out. It seemed like the Light Sword was just an ordinary sword, but once the blades collided, the Light Sword suddenly shone brightly, and countless light arrows shot out of it. They pierced Yang Ling’s body, tearing through Yang Ling’s Ice-sealing Armor as well as his Ground Protection Spell. In an instant, Yang Ling suffered attacks from every direction, and he felt like he’d just poked a hornet nest.


 


Ah!

 

Yang Ling groaned and fell back swiftly. His body was drenched in blood, and he was almost turned into a hedgehog by those terrifying light arrows. It was fortunate that his body had been strengthened repeatedly by the Body Honing Wizard Mantra, and he forcefully blocked the attacks that covered both the sky and lands alike. He protected his body’s vital regions.
 

Yang Ling was drenched in blood, and the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds opposite him couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He’d almost fallen victim to Yang Ling’s sneaky move. When the Light Sword came in contact with the Battle Soul Blade, the scarlet light of the Battle Soul Blade went through the Light Sword and entered the body of the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds, then attacked his soul directly. If an ordinary expert suffered Yang Ling’s Soul Dissolving Wizard Spell, even if he didn’t die, he would still sustain serious injuries. But the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds was very powerful, and even though he’d been careless for a moment, the scarlet ray still couldn’t break through his soul defense.
 

Yang Ling realized in just a single move that he wouldn’t be a match for the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds even if he attacked him jointly with the Golden Roc. Yang Ling’s expression was very grave, and what was worse was that as the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord issued other orders, innumerable Twelve-Winged Angels began to surround Yang Ling and the Golden Roc. The situation had taken a turn for the worse!
