Urban Wolf King

Chapter 1249 1160: Maze

With this step, Luo Yuan stepped before the city gate.

Behind him was a field of soldier terracotta warrior shards.

Normally, these shards would recombine and restore as soldier terracotta warriors.

But without the Yin Soul, these warriors were nothing but empty shells, impossible to restore.

Seeing himself standing in front of the city gate, Luo Yuan could hardly believe his eyes.

A situation that was sure to lead to death was broken through like this, and he was just one step away from entering the city gate.

Excited, Luo Yuan turned back to look at Wang Yan, who had been following behind him.

But as he turned, Luo Yuan also saw the Venerable Ghost Valley and four other strong men flying in from the riverbank.

These five strong men rushed toward him swiftly, greed glistening in their eyes.

"Not good, they want to steal the Black Spear."

Luo Yuan was shocked, realizing the Black Spear had become a burden. He quickly tried to throw it to the ground.

But as Luo Yuan tried to discard it, the Black Spear suddenly flickered and vanished.

Luo Yuan vaguely sensed the Black Spear had flown into Wang Yan's body, but to others, it seemed like Luo Yuan had put it away.

By now, Luo Yuan knew he couldn't escape blame; any explanation would not be believed by the five strong men. The only option was to flee quickly.

So Luo Yuan hurriedly turned back to rush into the city gate.

But as he turned, his face turned pale with fright.

On the city walls, ten thousand arrows were aimed at him, bows already released, arrows flying toward him.

"Done for! These Venerables really have everything calculated perfectly. By the time they arrive, I'll be dead, pierced by arrows."

Luo Yuan lamented in his heart, rushing toward the gate despite knowing the arrows were faster. Just a step away from the gate, he would certainly be pierced by thousands of arrows.

But then, Luo Yuan suddenly thought of Wang Yan.

Wang Yan had been right behind him; could he have a way to escape?

Luo Yuan hastened to look at Wang Yan, seeing him standing still, not rushing to the gate, but staring at the arrows on the wall.

Seeing this, Luo Yuan wondered: What is he watching? Planning to watch me die?

Just then, Wang Yan suddenly opened his mouth, letting out a huge and sharp roar.

The roar was like a giant whistle through the sky and earth, leaving Luo Yuan's mind blank.

In the blankness, he saw the arrows overhead pause due to the roar.

"A chance! I can use this pause to escape into the gate." Luo Yuan thought immediately.

But with his mind stunned by the roar, Luo Yuan couldn't move.

That roar was Wang Yan's soul skill — Dragon's Roar Shaking Nine Heavens.

As the roar stopped, Luo Yuan saw a blur, with Wang Yan suddenly darting in front of him and grabbing him.

Then, another blur as Wang Yan pulled him, vanishing on the spot.

When Luo Yuan regained his sight, he found himself inside the city gate.

Turning outside the gate, he saw Venerable Ghost Valley and the four other strong men just arriving before the gate.

Originally, Luo Yuan would have been shot dead. But due to the roar, the arrows paused, landing just as the strong men arrived.

As if agreed in advance, arrows and strong men arrived at the same location simultaneously.

The strong men were shocked, retreating hastily from arrows flying at them.

But the arrows arrived too suddenly, not matching their calculations. Thus, retreating was chaotic and clumsy.

However, Luo Yuan clearly saw the strong men retreating with eyes full of anger.

Feeling their anger directed at him, Luo Yuan was almost scared to wet himself.

How did I unwittingly provoke these five strong men?

Now, he had no way to justify, even washing in the Yellow River wouldn't clear him.

While Luo Yuan was stunned, he heard Wang Yan laughing nearby, "Five Venerables, we'll pick the Magical Treasure from the second palace first."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuan couldn't help it anymore, feeling his pants dampen with heat.

Luo Yuan turned to Wang Yan, mouth agape, looking pitiful as if begging for mercy.

Wang Yan smiled lightly, saying, "Governor Luo Yuan, now that we're in the second palace, you and I can choose the treasures to our liking. Let's split up and choose well."

Saying this, Wang Yan turned to leave.

Seeing Wang Yan leaving, Luo Yuan knelt before him with a thud, pleading, "Lord, I'll follow you in Qinrong Palace. Whatever you command, I'll obey."

Wang Yan raised a brow, smiling, "Really? I don't want to force you."

"No compulsion, I'm sincere," Luo Yuan nodded quickly, appearing loyal.

Wang Yan nodded reluctantly, saying, "Alright, having a Governor follow an Imperial Censor is somewhat a waste. But if you wish, follow me."

Upon Wang Yan's agreement, Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: Without following you, the Venerable Ghost Valley would soon kill me. It's safer following you.

Thus, Luo Yuan followed close behind Wang Yan, step by step without leaving.

Meanwhile, outside the second palace gate, the five strong men were furious seeing Wang Yan and Luo Yuan entering the gate.

What a failed scheme, costing more than gaining.

The entry had enraged the soldier terracotta warriors guarding the city.

Three giant Venerable Tier soldier puppets roared, jumping from the wall and leading warriors across the bridge against the Demon Cultivators.

The Demon Cultivators resisted briefly, soon scattered in all directions.

During the escape, many were killed, thrown into the magma river.

Even the Three Great Demon Venerable struggled due to the giant Venerable Tier soldier puppets, with Venerable Zidan wounded.

While chaos ensued outside the second gate, Wang Yan led Luo Yuan inside.

Looking up at the palace gate, Wang Yan frowned, shaking his head, "It's a maze!"
