C174 The Black Gas Dispersed

A flying ship whistled through the air and flew towards them at an extremely fast speed.

When they first saw it, it was still dozens of miles away. In just a few breaths' time, the flying ship had already arrived in front of them, standing side by side with the flying ships of the five big sects.

The flying ship was black in color, and there was a huge ghost face on both sides of the flying ship. This ghost face was very special. Anyone with discerning eyes could immediately tell that it was the symbol of the Freedom City.

"Freedom City?"

The leaders of the five big sects frowned.

Flying ships were rare items. Not to mention its price, just the fact that it needed to travel to other countries to buy this item made it extremely precious.

Every time the five big sects wanted to travel through the Dark Night Forest to the outside world to purchase items, they would need to spend a huge amount of manpower and resources.

The price of this was that ordinary small forces could not afford to pay even if they went bankrupt.

The fact that Freedom City could get one indicated that its foundation was almost comparable to the five big sects.

After the flying ship stopped, not long after, over a hundred figures appeared on the deck of the flying ship in Freedom City.

Judging from the auras emitted by these people, they were all Mystic Masters!

The person in the lead wore a grimace mask and a large black robe. Not to mention his age, even his gender could not be seen.

His body emitted a powerful aura, which caused the space around him to become illusionary and distorted.

The aura that emanated from his body. From the looks of it... Without a doubt, he was a Sect Leader... Furthermore, he was not an ordinary Sect Leader level expert.

His cultivation had already been consolidated a long time ago. He was probably not inferior to veteran Sect Masters like Tian Fengzi and Xuan Yun!

"Thousand Face City Lord!"

The eyes of all the sect masters present couldn't help but narrow. This was a great enemy, and it was enough to pose a threat to them.

When the Abyss Devil Palace came into being, there would definitely be countless treasures inside. Everyone wanted it. However, there were so many people here. If they wanted to obtain it, they had to use their own strength to suppress everyone!

In front of treasures, all benevolence was void. Only strength was the way of the king! If they encountered it, it would be a fight! Fight until the other party withdrew!

They were Sect Masters. Only Sect Masters could pose a threat to them.

As for the Thousand Face City Lord of Freedom City, he was the most mysterious Sect Master among all the known Sect Masters. He usually went deep into the world and rarely showed his face.

No one knew what kind of profound skill he was cultivating, and no one knew his true strength.

Except twenty years ago, he personally taught a late ninth level Profound Master who didn't follow the rules in Freedom City a lesson, and let the world know that his strength had already reached the level of a Sect Master.

In these few decades, no one had seen him make a move.

The unknown was the most terrifying!

Even Tian Fengzi, who was known as the number one person in Mooyun Kingdom, did not dare to say that he could defeat the Thousand Face City Lord with 100% certainty.

Beside the Thousand Face City Lord stood a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man also exuded a powerful aura. Although this aura wasn't as strong as the Thousand Face City Lord's, it wasn't far from him.

"Two Sect Leader level experts!"

The eyes of the experts from the five big sects shrunk. Two Sect Masters were already comparable to the five big sects.

The Celestial Thunder Sect in the five big sects only had two Sect Masters.

Behind the two of them, there were more than a dozen high grade Profound Masters, nearly a hundred Mid Rank Profound Master and over a hundred low grade Profound Masters. With such strength, they were not any weaker than any of the five big sects!

Yih Xuan was also secretly sizing up the people of Freedom City. However, unlike most of the people who were looking at the Thousand Face City Lord, his eyes were mostly focused on the middle-aged man beside the Thousand Face City Lord.

"Wang Tong!"

Yih Xuan had never thought that the first person he had traded with after entering Freedom City was actually a Sect Master!

"Judging from his aura, he must have just broken through not long ago."

Yih Xuan used his soul power to probe Wang Tong. His soul power was extremely sensitive. He immediately caught the Qi on Wang Tong's body. Although it was powerful, it was not very stable.

Yih Xuan's soul power was very good at hiding. When he was a Fourth Level Profound Master, he could have avoided the detection of a Sixth Level Profound Master.

Now that Yih Xuan's soul force had broken through to the Sixth Level Profound Master, and he had also combined this soul force with the Breath Concealing Arts, even a Sect Master would not be able to detect his detection.

Although Wang Tong was powerful, he had just become a Sect Master level expert, so he would not be able to detect his detection. Otherwise, Yih Xuan would not dare to use his soul force to investigate Wang Tong so openly.

In the cultivation world, using soul force to investigate others was a huge taboo. Everyone had their own secrets. What if you see it?

It would be fine if you used your soul power to investigate others, but once you were discovered, you would definitely be disgusted by them. You might even become their mortal enemy from now on.

No one would provoke a mortal enemy for no reason.

If Yih Xuan wasn't really curious, he wouldn't use his soul power to investigate. After all, he and Wang Tong could be considered to have some kind of relationship. It was indeed impolite to use his soul power to investigate the other party.

"Even if he broke through and became a Sect Master in these few months, when I went to Freedom City, he was at least a late ninth level Profound Master! A late ninth stage Profound Master is one of the top elders in the five big sects!"

"The first level of the Free Trade Exchange, which is also the place where Mystic Masters stay, why is he there? Also, why did he give me that gold VIP card back then? I was only a low-level Mystic back then. It was not worth it for him to do so! "

Yih Xuan's brows were tightly knitted. This was a question that he had always been puzzled about.

When he returned to the Diyuan Sword Sect, he had already found out the function of this VIP card. Naturally, he knew how precious this Golden VIP card was. Even ordinary high-rank Mystic Masters wouldn't be able to obtain it.

Given his cultivation base back then, there was no reason for him to obtain this thing.

However, what Yih Xuan did not know was that businessmen were best at investing. Although it was good to have a strong share, it was far from being worth investing in.

Without a doubt, Yih Xuan had shown enough potential back then.

It was unknown whether it was because he felt Yih Xuan's gaze or for some reason. Wang Tong actually looked at Yih Xuan who was on the Diyuan Sword Sect's flying ship and gave him a friendly smile.

Although Yih Xuan did not understand, the other party had clearly shown goodwill to him, so he did not want to show the other party any respect.

Yih Xuan nodded slightly at Wang Tong to show his friendliness.

After greeting him, the two of them turned around and looked back at the Devil Palace.

Now that the black Qi was about to dissipate, they could temporarily put the rest of the matters aside. The most important thing right now was to prepare to enter the Devil Palace.

On the flying ship of Freedom City.

"Is he Yih Xuan?"

The voice of the Thousand Face City Master sounded. His voice was very gender-neutral. It was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

His Ghost Face Mask seemed to be a powerful Xuan Artifact as well. There were two holes in his eyes, but it was dark inside and nothing could be seen.

"Reporting to the City Lord, he is Yih Xuan."

Wang Tong's attitude was extremely respectful, as if he was an old servant, and not a Sect Master.

"That's right."

After saying that, the Thousand Face City Lord shifted his gaze to the Devil Palace and didn't say anything else.

Wang Tong was startled when he heard this. He knew how high the Thousand Face City Lord's standards were. Even the number one genius of Mooyun Kingdom, Ling Feng, had only received an ordinary evaluation from him.

"The City Lord's judgment is far higher than mine, but he also has such a high evaluation of Yih Xuan. That Yih Xuan must be a true genius! He might even be a peerless monster! Such a figure, his future achievements will never be limited to Mooyun Kingdom!"

Wang Tong couldn't help but feel somewhat glad about his decision back then. When he handed the Golden VIP Card to Yih Xuan, to be honest, he still felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

Now, it seemed like his decision was undoubtedly correct.

The Thousand Face City Lord's' not bad 'had actually changed Wang Tong's mind. It was truly surprising.

This Thousand Face City Lord should have a special profound skill that could see through a person's strength. Otherwise, Yih Xuan would not have given a higher evaluation than Ling Feng if he did not show it to the public.

After all, although Yih Xuan's battle record was astonishing, no one knew about it. Some people knew that he was at most on par with Ling Feng.

However, this Thousand Face City Lord could at most see that Yih Xuan's current profound strength was comparable to a third level profound master's. He absolutely could not know that Yih Xuan was only a ninth level profound master, much less know Yih Xuan's true strength.

If the Thousand Face City Lord knew Yih Xuan's true strength, what kind of evaluation would he give? He also did not know how shocked Wang Tong would be.

Unfortunately, this was a secret that Yih Xuan had hidden. It was impossible for anyone to know about it.

Right at this moment, the ground shook violently. An even more powerful and gloomy Qi emerged from the abyss.

The black gas surrounding the abyss dispersed.
