Chapter 201: Chapter 61 Imperial Court Inspection (1/3)The aftermath of the Frost Calamity swept across the Northern Border, shrouding the entire sky of the Wild State in obscurity. Gray-white clouds of snow and frost mist enveloped everything, as if to merge heaven and earth into one. Beneath the clouds lay darkness, where not even the fiercest sun could penetrate a sliver, and there were even seven columns of Demonic Qi smoke rising to the sky, carrying a deep, demonic miasma. But in such darkness, a circular light like that of the sun tore through the gloom, shattering all Demonic Qi. Suspended in the center of the sky, the octagonal stone-base Jade Mirror overflowed with dazzling Liuguang, cascading down to the earth like a waterfall. The sun within the mirror was also true light. As the cascade of light washed over, the temperature of Kanming City rose in an instant to nearly that of a spring day, the snow melted, and the cold wind ceased. This immense Liuguang fell to the earth, forming around Kanming City eight different images of buildings and mountains, which amidst the real and the illusory, brought forth a boundless power of demon suppression! The originally agitated Earth Vein and flowing Demonic Qi were completely shattered and cleared in a moment, transforming the entire Kanming City into what seemed like a Six Yang Dojo, serene and mysterious! "He’s actually in the city?!" Watching this scene, An Jing felt alarmed, "And this Divine Skill... it’s definitely not an ordinary one!" The Six Yang Mystic Mirror, True Master Mysterious Mirror... He remembered the other’s actions at Hanging Fate Manor, his battle with the Northern Patrol Envoy of the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect that shook mountains, and he should have had the upper hand. And their combined power to suppress the Heavenly Demon could even alter the terrain, almost completely demolishing the center of Hanging Fate Valley. But this time was different! An Jing had seen several Divine Repository Purple Mansion experts in action. Not to mention others, the two Purple Mansions from the Tianyuan Realm, although they could affect the celestial phenomena, were far less terrifying than True Master Mysterious Mirror, who seemed to turn a whole world into his own dojo! In the battle at Hanging Fate Valley, it was apparent that True Master Mysterious Mirror had held back! And it was not just him. Far away, there were other battles and turmoil! On the far side of Kanming City, across the Boundary River, within the tribes of the Dust Li territory, deep dark columns of Demonic Qi suddenly erupted. This Demonic Qi was like ink, dripping into the sky and swiftly spreading, turning into vast swathes of murky black Qi, and these formed into one after another horrifying Heavenly Demon Illusions in mid-air, terrorizing amidst the tribes of the Dust Li Border, causing cries and screams to rise. These Heavenly Demon Illusions were the Demon Monsters and Demon Men lurking among the tribes on the border of Dust Li, long since corrupted by the Heavenly Demon, with significant Martial Artists and leaders having fallen. In secret, they conducted many Demon Dao rituals, in exchange for their lifespans and wealth. It was also for this reason that they had agreed to the True Demon Sect’s request to stand by regarding the matter of Kanming City... even, one might say, to secretly guide it! Since they could not openly oppose Da Chen, they moved in the shadows, especially against You Ruhui. If You Ruhui really left Kanming City on her own foolishly, heading to Dust Li, she would immediately be discovered by the True Demon Sect and abducted! But now, Chongyi Building had been eradicated by unknown people, Kanming City had not been Blood Sacrificed, and the True Demon Sect had failed to capture their intended target. All their plans had gone awry, and so all the Heavenly Demon Illusions lurking in the tribes of Dust Li had surged out, like a Black City racing across the sky, pressing towards Kanming City! ——If soft approaches fail, then come the hard ones. True Master Mysterious Mirror, you surely can’t kill us all before your Spiritual Power is exhausted! This immense wave of Heavenly Demon Illusions, mixed with some dark moves of Great Heavenly Demons, was indeed very troublesome, so much so that even a Divine Repository True Person would likely find it difficult. But the precondition is that there’s only one Divine Repository. Suddenly, to the east of Kanming City, at the far end of the distant horizon, there seemed to be a flickering light. In the next instant, a monstrous gash suddenly opened within the dark clouds of the Heavenly Demon that were rapidly advancing toward Kanming City, and a force of Mysterious You Power, deeper than darkness and quieter than night, began to spread through the clouds. Only afterwards could one see a dim arc of light piercing the entire sky, blossoming at its end into a thunderous flower. The thunder with its golden base and dark golden flames surged from within the black clouds, raging fiercely. —It was another Divine Repository True Person... and moreover, from the Imperial Court of Da Chen! "Inspector Cao!" You Ruhui also saw the Mysterious Thunder bursting in the distant sky. She shivered, instinctively lowering her head as if she intended to use her Divine Skill to escape. But she quickly suppressed her innate fear and turned to An Jing, saying, "This is the Imperial Court Inspector who has been pursuing me... His appearance here means they have truly picked up on my trail!" "Don’t worry too much, because worrying is useless." An Jing watched solemnly as the Divine Repository True Persons clashed above. Now was not the time to worry about such trivial matters. If Inspector Cao truly knew You Ruhui’s whereabouts, he wouldn’t bother with the Heavenly Demon and would have come directly to take her away. —Since they were still dealing with the Heavenly Demon, it meant they only had a vague idea of You Ruhui’s location, not her exact position. With these thoughts, An Jing came up with a plan in his heart, "In that case, this is also an opportunity..." In midair, the dark clouds of the Heavenly Demon had no inkling they were being attacked by a second Divine Repository, especially since they couldn’t detect where the opponent was at all. But indeed, bolts of the Mysterious Thunder Divine Light were shooting from the farthest reaches of the sky, beyond the horizon, locking onto and ferociously attacking them. The black and gold thunder, with its silent and profound meaning, crisscrossed through the skies. The Six Yang Mystic Mirror, which loomed above Kanming City and continuously purified the Demonic Qi, realigned its direction, and then a fierce beam poured out like torrential rain, enveloping the front of the Heavenly Demon’s dark clouds. In that instant, with a pincer attack from both sides, the Heavenly Demon clouds lost half their numbers. —They had been ambushed. Realizing this, the clusters of Heavenly Demon Illusions tried to turn tail and flee. Clearly, both the True Master Mysterious Mirror and the Imperial Court Inspector had detected them, but they were waiting, waiting for a moment when they could eradicate all unstable elements. And that moment was now. Under the combined strike of Mysterious Thunder and Six Yang, the Heavenly Demon’s last desperate effort melted into nothingness, turning into smoke that dissipated amidst the snow of the Frost Calamity, leaving only Mysterious Primordial Qi billowing in the air like clouds. A bolt of thunder traced an irregular path across the sky, grand in its majesty, altering the celestial phenomena. A middle-aged official clad in a Black Feathered Cloak arrived beside Kanming City, stretching out his hand to collect most of the Mysterious Primordial Qi. The Six Yang Mystic Mirror absorbed the remaining smaller portion. "Let’s go." Seeing the Heavenly Demon’s backup swiftly defeated, An Jing knew that the situation had changed and that the chaos in Kanming City would soon end. "Ruohui, cast Divine Skill on yourself, don’t worry about me and your aunt." The plan had to be adapted, but fortunately, he had prepared a secondary one.
