Chapter 1501 1412: City Lord of Illusion

Out of a million Demon Cultivators, only Fang Jinchun was left at this moment, and Fang Jinchun had been frozen into an ice sculpture.

In an instant, seven million Demon Cultivators turned deathly pale with fright and fell into utter panic.

Wang Yan leaped into the air, immediately flew to stand in front of Fang Jinchun, raised his palm, and slapped it onto the ice sculpture; Divine Power surged from his palm in torrents, pouring into the ice sculpture.

As that Divine Power poured out, he saw the ice sculpture begin to melt slowly.

Yet although the ice sculpture was melting, the speed was extremely slow, completely disproportionate to the Divine Power Wang Yan was outputting.

Seeing this, Wang Yan immediately let out a great shout; then four rays of light flashed beside him, and the Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise appeared at his side simultaneously.

One must know, the current Wang Yan was the fusion of his true body and avatar, equivalent to having the power of Eight Symbols.

Thus, when the Four Symbols manifested, Wang Yan's cultivation instantly rose to an incredibly terrifying level.

Borrowing the Power of the Four Symbols, Wang Yan's Divine Power multiplied severalfold in an instant, constantly sweeping into the ice encasing Fang Jinchun.

Only now did the melting speed of that ice sculpture begin to increase.

Yet even sped up, compared to the entire ice sculpture, that melting speed was still just a drop in the bucket.

Half a day passed, and only a small half of the ice encasing Fang Jinchun had melted; by this time, Wang Yan's face had also turned pale, and his eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with ice crystals.

Judging from that, if Wang Yan failed to rescue Fang Jinchun, he himself would likely be frozen into ice.

At this moment, Beiming Xue walked up behind Wang Yan, wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her body against his back, and softly said: "Eternal Unity."

As Beiming Xue used her Soul Skill, the ice crystals on Wang Yan's eyebrows slowly melted, and a hint of color returned to his face.

Ouyang Feiting also walked to stand in front of Wang Yan and unleashed the Demon Pattern Phoenix; as the giant Firebird flapped its wings, the surrounding temperature rose severalfold, then turned into a warm current that enveloped Wang Yan, Beiming Xue, and Fang Jinchun.

Under the combined efforts of the three, the ice on Fang Jinchun's body finally began to melt much faster.

Another half day later, Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting both let out a low groan, simultaneously stepped back, and collapsed sitting on the ground.

The aura around both of them had weakened greatly, their faces had gone pale, and their long eyelashes were also covered in ice crystals as they sat on the ground, panting heavily.

By now, only a thin layer of ice remained on Fang Jinchun's body.

Once Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting stepped back, with only Wang Yan's strength, the ice on Fang Jinchun actually showed signs of forming again.

Seeing this, Wang Yan shouted, and his body suddenly shuddered; his avatar stepped out from within his true body.

The two Wang Yans surrounded Fang Jinchun and exerted themselves to the utmost, two streams of Divine Power pouring into Fang Jinchun's body in torrents.

At this point, all the ice crystals on Fang Jinchun's body vanished, and they finally heard Fang Jinchun cry out, "Ah!"

Hearing Fang Jinchun cry out, Wang Yan finally withdrew his palm and took a step back; however, that step was somewhat unsteady.

His avatar hurriedly merged back into his true body; then he took out a pill, popped it into his mouth, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to recuperate.

Wu Ancestor Li had long been waiting at the side; he quickly stepped forward now, shoved a pill into Fang Jinchun's mouth, and Fang Jinchun slowly slipped into sleep.

Three Hours later, Wang Yan finally opened his eyes, and the aura on his body had mostly recovered.

At this moment, Fang Jinchun could be seen kneeling before Wang Yan, his face full of guilt; as soon as he saw Wang Yan open his eyes, Fang Jinchun immediately kowtowed to the ground and cried, "Big Brother, I was wrong."

Fang Jinchun was a staunch, iron-blooded man, yet now he was weeping bitterly.

Wang Yan raised a hand to help Fang Jinchun up and said, "Don't panic, speak slowly. What on earth happened?"

Fang Jinchun wiped away his tears, nodded heavily, and said, "Once I've finished, once Big Brother knows the whole story, I'll accept whatever punishment you decide—kill or spare me as you wish."

With that, Fang Jinchun began to speak.

It turned out that after breaching the second pass, Iron Tree Pass, Fang Jinchun captured a few Evil Ghosts and learned some news: the later passes were empty, with no powerful Asura overseeing them.

So Fang Jinchun immediately led the army forward and ended up breaching several passes in succession.

The series of great victories made Fang Jinchun a bit heady; ignoring the dissuasion of Yan Shilin and the others, he fought all the way to the sixth pass, Sin Mirror Pass.

Upon reaching the sixth pass, Fang Jinchun thought it would be as easy to take as the first five.

Who would have thought that on the sixth pass, tens of millions of Evil Ghosts appeared and surrounded us; they had numbers and momentum on their side, so we didn't dare act rashly.

At that moment, a powerful Asura appeared atop the city wall, addressed as the City Lord of Illusion by the Evil Ghosts; as soon as that City Lord of Illusion made a move, he seized Little Mars from our army.

At this, Wu Ancestor Li frowned and said, "That City Lord of Illusion captured Little Mars from among you with just one move. Didn't you try to stop him?"

Fang Jinchun shook his head and said, "The City Lord of Illusion's cultivation was too strong. When he struck, we wanted to intervene, but his aura suppressed us so completely that no one could make a move."

"How powerful was his aura?" Wang Yan asked.

Fang Jinchun glanced at Wang Yan and said, "Completely above you, Senior Brother."

Everyone around them changed expression at those words.

Wu Ancestor Li pressed on, "And then? He struck and froze you all?"

Fang Jinchun replied, "After we were trapped, we only vaguely heard the City Lord of Illusion demanding Little Mars submit to him, but Little Mars refused at once. The City Lord of Illusion then threatened to kill our million Demon Cultivators, and only then did Little Mars hesitate and insist he release us first before he'd consider the demand."

"So the City Lord of Illusion let you go? Then how did you end up frozen?"

"At the time, the City Lord of Illusion let out a cold snort, and we felt a massive force slam into us; we were blasted backward at once. We flew several li, and only when we could no longer see Sin Mirror City did we stop. We thought we were temporarily safe, but then discovered that within that earlier snort the City Lord of Illusion had left a powerful icy intent in our bodies, intending to freeze us all. I immediately led the brothers back, but along the way they were frozen one after another; only I ran the farthest and met you."

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked at this.

With a single snort, he had frozen a million Demon Cultivators—and even Wang Yan had needed Beiming Xue and Ouyang Feiting's help to melt that ice.

This City Lord of Illusion was simply too terrifying.

At this moment, everyone turned to Wang Yan; he lowered his head in thought and said, "This City Lord of Illusion should be a powerhouse of the Five Elements Morning Qi."
