C27 The Dead City Was Boiling
It was impossible for the other families to not have heard of the commotion caused by the Hong Family.
However, they had never thought that Hong Zheng was actually a Scripture Refining Master. This was also one of Hong Zheng's trump cards, and only the direct descendants of the Hong Family knew about it.
The entire Martial Arts Practice Field was enshrouded by a vast amount of spiritual energy. The dense fog rose up like an immortal realm.
Everyone was sitting on top of the Martial Arts Practice Field with their legs crossed. Their cultivation base had increased tremendously. It was impossible for other families to achieve such excellent cultivation conditions.
Hong Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the Martial Arts Practice Field. He stood there calmly. Everyone saw an extremely firm back. It was like a huge mountain that was difficult to surpass.
Hong Loongteng walked over and said, "The Dead City is about to open. All the major families have gathered their young generation and are ready to enter."
Hong Zheng's eyes focused, and his eyes sparkled. "It has been twelve years. Is it going to open again?"
"How do you know that it will open once every twelve years?" Hong Loongteng was suspicious.
"I heard from my dad that back then, he said that Dead City was an Ancient City that was even more prosperous than Dragon City. However, for some reason, all the people inside disappeared overnight. Not even their corpses were left behind." Hong Zheng said with a smile. He was a smart man, and his lies were watertight. No one could find any flaws in his lies.
"Legend has it that he was moved away by a powerful expert because he was close to the Hengduan Mountain. There were also rumors that they were invaded by a beast tide, and they were all killed. This is still an unsolved case. However, it contained a lot of Precious Arts and Medicinal Pill left behind by some top families in the past.
Hong Loongteng did not doubt it any longer and nodded his head.
"Grandpa, are you guys going in?" Hong Zheng asked.
"We won't be going in. The Cloud Sea Sect has decided to open the door this time. All along, we have been emphasizing on training the abilities of the younger generation. If we, the older generation, enter, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction from the Cloud Sea Sect."
Hong Zheng nodded." Alright, I will bring Bupo, Hong Ming, and Yaotian there. "
These few people lacked training, and the Dead City was filled with danger. There were a lot of Giant Beast inside, which could train them.
According to the legends, there was also an ancient Medicinal Pill. All the major families would go there, and perhaps they would meet some interesting people there as well.
Since he had already made up his mind, he went to Hong Bupo and the others and told them about the situation, and they all agreed immediately.
Hong Zheng handed the matters of the family to Hong Loongteng and gave him some Primitive Precious Arts. He asked him to sell them when necessary.
Currently, the Hong Family couldn't afford to leave any resources behind.
Three days later, the entire Dragon City was filled with drums that shook the sky.
Hong Zheng woke up from his meditation, picked up the Purple Gold Divine Halberd beside him, and walked out.
Hong Bupo and the others were already waiting outside the Hong Mansion. Hong Liu, Hong Qi, and two or three geniuses of the Hong Family were waiting for Hong Zheng.
It was still midnight, but the entire Dragon City was in an uproar.
The young geniuses of each family had left their residences and were rushing towards the Dead City.
This time, the opening of the Dead City didn't form an organization. All of them were heading there alone. Some families that had a good relationship with each other would travel together.
Hong Zheng led the way, followed by a few people from the Hong Family. Their speed wasn't slow either.
Situ Zongheng followed behind Hong Zheng from afar, smiling without saying a word. The people from the Martial King Mansion were standing next to him.
Situ Zongheng. We will attack them when we reach the Ancient City. We will kill them one by one. When the time comes, we will be more careful. No one will know that we did it. "
Woo Congyun nodded. "But there are only a dozen of them. It's too little."
Situ Zongheng nodded. How many geniuses do you think the Hong Family has? After all, they have declined. It's already not bad to have these ten geniuses. "
Hong Zheng said to Hong Bupo and the others, "After entering the Dead City, we shouldn't stay too far away from each other. I'm afraid that things won't go too smoothly at that time. "
Hong Bupo and the others nodded their heads when they saw Hong Zheng's solemn expression.
Hong Ming sneered, "If anyone dares to harm us, just kill them."
Dead City was also known as the Ancient City. It was close to the Hengduan Mountain, and it was a long way from the Dragon City. They had been walking for a month, but they still hadn't seen the Ancient City.
Along the way, most of them were tired. Some of the pampered disciples couldn't bear it anymore. They had already returned to their families after walking for less than half a distance.
The remaining people were all people with extremely firm personalities. They all had the hearts of experts.
What made Hong Zheng feel gratified was that the few people from the Hong Family had managed to persevere.
Another half a month passed, and everyone cheered. Finally, they had arrived at the Ancient City!
In front of them was a huge and majestic Ancient City. The city walls were dark in color, and the air was filled with an ancient aura. It seemed to have experienced countless years.
Behind the city was a boundless mountain range, an extremely desolate place. Occasionally, one or two roars of Giant Beast could be heard from within the city.
"This is the Ancient City!" Hong Liu's eyes were filled with confusion. This was an extremely shy boy. He was only in his twenties and often lowered his head.
Hong Zheng sighed with emotion. That's right. This was the Ancient City. Twelve years ago, he thought that he didn't come here. Twelve years later, he didn't think that he would come here with another identity.
After the two black-clothed elders opened the city gates, they hurriedly left. Hong Zheng recognized these two old men. They were from the Cloud Sea Sect. He seemed to have met them before.
Many families cheered and rushed into the hall. Just as Hong Zheng was about to go in, a strange voice sounded, "Wait!"
Hong Zheng turned around and saw a slightly plump young man. His triangular eyes were emitting a cold light from time to time.
"Someone from the Sunn Family of Dragon City!" Hong Zheng recognized him. This was a new family, and it was slightly weaker than a family like the Martial King Mansion.
"That's right. I am Sunn Kang. Hong Er, I have come to consult you." Sunn Kang said with a smile, then he suddenly attacked. Boundless Genuine Qi surged out, and thirteen sword flowers appeared around his body.
"Sunn Zhun has broken through to the Mortal Transformation Stage Level 3. This time, Hong Zheng is going to suffer!" Everyone was discussing amongst themselves.
"That's right. The Sunn Family has been gaining momentum in recent years."
"The people of Hong Family are going to suffer a little. The one with the best cultivation base is Hong Er, but he is only a Mortal Transformation Stage Level 2."
Thirteen sword flowers were rotating on the ground, causing sand and stones to fly everywhere. The sword force was sweeping across the place, as if it was going to split the heavens and earth!
Hong Zheng sneered and threw a few punches at the thirteen sword flowers.
Hong Family's Collapsing Mountain Fist!
An intense explosion sounded in the spatial zone, like a firecracker exploding. A few fist prints then struck the thirteen sword flowers.
With a loud boom, the sword flowers were completely shattered!
Sunn Zhun took a few steps back and looked at Hong Zheng in shock.
Hong Zheng's eyes were cold and stern. He was a person who would definitely take revenge if he was bullied. He would not easily anger others. But if someone provoked him, he would definitely take revenge.
He sneered. It had been too long since the Hong Family made any big moves. How dare someone from such a small family bully him?
He took out the halberd from his back and unleashed his innate king aura. Along with it was a sky-piercing killing intent!
"The Sunn Family is really bold!" His voice was incomparably cold, as if it came from the Nine Nether Realm.
The great halberd in his hand suddenly thrust out. It was like a flood dragon that had gone out to sea, but also like a Kun Peng that had struck the sky. The momentum was incomparably vast. His Genuine Qi was vast and mighty like a huge wave, covering Sunn Zhun.
Sunn Zhun turned pale with fright. He never thought that even though he was a realm higher than Hong Zheng, he was still no match for him!
A sense of crisis emerged in his heart as he frantically retreated. At the same time, a metallic Stellar Energy appeared on his body, and covered his entire body. This was the Sunn Family's Iron Body Mysterious Technique.
Hong Zheng was extremely terrifying in his fury. His expression was calm, but the aura that erupted from his body was like a volcano, wave after wave. Dust flew behind his back, and Genuine Qi splashed in all directions.
A purple-gold halberd suddenly struck Sunn Zhun's body.
The Genuine Qi that Sunn Zhun had covered his body had cracked. The sound of metal clashing could be heard from the surroundings. After that, Sunn Zhun let out a miserable cry, and his head was cut off by Hong Zheng.
A Mortal Transformation Stage Level 3 warrior was killed by Hong Zheng!
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Sunn Zhun was killed! The genius of Sunn Family couldn't even withstand a single strike from Hong Er!"
"He was the first person to fall this time."
"This Hong Er is indeed amazing. I didn't expect that a mere illegitimate child would be able to kill Situ Qingyun, Situ Piaoying, and Sunn Zhun. This is amazing."
When the young experts of Sunn Family saw that Sunn Zhun had been killed, all of them glared at Hong Zheng. A few of them with hot tempers rushed forward and started fighting Hong Zheng.
A bloodthirsty light appeared in Hong Zheng's eyes, "It's been a long time since I've started a massacre. Come, all of you."
He let out a long roar. The halberd in his hand was rolling like an azure dragon.
In the blink of an eye, a young man's back was shattered by Hong Zheng. He unleashed the Golden Ni Heavenly Arts, and smashed several people into pieces!
The people of Sunn Family were all frightened, and they looked at Hong Zheng with fear in their eyes.
Hong Zheng stood there, and the halberd in his hand was still dripping with blood. His eyes were extremely sharp, as if an ancient God King had descended from the heavens.
"Who else?" Hong Zheng licked his lips, "If you want to deal with the Hong Family, you have to consider your own strength!"
His domineering words suppressed dozens of people, but none of them dared to make any moves.
After a long time, Hong Zheng's eyes turned around, then he turned around and led Hong Bupo and the others towards the Ancient City.
Situ Zongheng walked out from the crowd with a smile on his handsome face. He said to himself, "I suspect Ji Zangshan has been killed. There is no news of him until now. After entering the Ancient City, the first thing I will do is to kill you! "
After the people entered the Ancient City, they were greeted by an incomparably desolate aura.
The surrounding buildings, even the green bricks were engraved with the mark of time.
At a glance, it was filled with densely packed buildings. Most of them were intact and did not collapse.
The streets were extremely wide, as if they were recording the prosperity of the past. On both sides of the street were the residences of some powerful people.
"Song Residence."
"Zhao Residence."
Numerous mansions were lined up on both sides of the street. The signboard was already gray, and the walls were mottled.
"What exactly happened? A Ancient City with a million people actually became empty overnight." Hong Bupo sighed.
Hong Zheng didn't say anything, he just walked towards a mansion.
