Only My Way

“A cultivator descending from the sky?”

About fifteen minutes after Ling Wuyuan successfully entered the city.

In the City Lord's mansion, the City Lord listened to the reports from his subordinates, his face showing contemplation, confusion, and vigilance.

He understood that although some Qi Nurturing Realm cultivators could also fly,

such things were ultimately just short-distance flights.

Cultivators who could truly achieve long-distance flight

were at least Source Gathering Realm cultivators who could communicate with the spiritual energy of the outside world.

Only in this way

could their true energy recovery speed keep up with the consumption rate during flight.

Now, hearing about such a powerful expert suddenly entering the city caught him off guard, and he couldn't help but overthink.

However,

thinking about the city-protecting formation that Hua Yan City possessed,

he was still relatively confident about the situation.

This

was, after all, his home turf.

Even a powerful Spirit Accumulation Realm cultivator

would find it difficult to easily deal with him, who possessed geographical advantages!

So, he quickly frowned and asked:

“Where is that person now?”

The subordinate quickly replied:

“They should be on their way to the Newsreel Tower.”

“Because as soon as they appeared, they said they wanted to buy information or go to a place with many books.”

“So, our people should be taking them to the Newsreel Tower.”

Although in the past, Hua Yan City not only had a considerable number of books but also had places similar to libraries,

with the progress of the war and the repeated changes of ownership of Hua Yan City,

the vast majority of books collected in the city

had long been destroyed along with those libraries by years of war.

Even if a little bit remained,

it was not much at all.

Therefore,

it was not difficult to guess where the city guard would take Ling Wuyuan.

After stating where Ling Wuyuan wanted to go, the person continued:

“City Lord, that expert entered Hua Yan City from the south gate, and the Newsreel Tower and our City Lord's mansion are both located in the north of the city, not far from each other. If we set off now, we might be able to reach the Newsreel Tower before they arrive…”

Although not explicitly asked,

the meaning in his words was very clear.

That was to ask the City Lord if he had any intention of taking the initiative to meet Ling Wuyuan.

After stroking his chin and pondering for a while,

the City Lord finally chose to nod in response:

“In that case, let's set off then.”

“Let's go see where that outsider comes from…”

While speaking,

thinking about the appearance characteristics of the newcomer that his subordinate had just described,

the City Lord felt a sense of bewilderment.

Extremely young in appearance, as if not yet an adult?

Possessing extremely conspicuous gray eyes and gray pupils?

As for appearance, it was so outstanding that it was somewhat different from ordinary people, with a sense of sharpness?

Recalling these appearance characteristics,

Zheng Zhongcheng, as the City Lord,

was truly perplexed…

As the local overlord here,

to say the least,

he was very clear about which young talents existed within the scope of this prefecture.

Therefore,

did that existence that suddenly entered the city come from a more distant outsider?

Or was it some old thing pretending to be young?

Zheng Zhongcheng seemed a little curious about the truth of the matter.

By the way,

he was also a little curious about the information that the target wanted to buy.

He was very curious about what information Ling Wuyuan wanted to buy from the Newsreel Tower?

Was it some extremely secret information?

Such as something related to some nearby natural treasure or special treasure…

Even when heading to the Newsreel Tower,

Zheng Zhongcheng kept making various assumptions in his mind.

In short,

he felt that there must be a specific reason behind the target's behavior.

However,

although Ling Wuyuan did have a specific reason,

the true answer to the matter was completely different from what Zheng Zhongcheng thought.

It was a completely unrelated situation…

From the beginning, Ling Wuyuan just wanted to go home.

Yes, go home.

Although he was originally a homeless fellow,

after experiencing many things, Ling Wuyuan finally possessed something called "home."

To him,

the so-called "home" does not only refer to the Jade Night Snow Mountain or the Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion, but the place where his important people are…

So, thinking about the situation on the Sea Clan side,

he naturally wanted to go back as soon as possible.

At the same time,

while heading to the Newsreel Tower,

he also expressionlessly felt the increasingly powerful force within his body.

Perhaps it was because he was exposed to the turbulence of time and space inside the space-time tunnel at zero distance without any protection,

Ling Wuyuan could sense

that his body had undergone some changes.

Some changes with beneficial effects.

Muscles, bones, blood vessels…

Even cells and the brain were all undergoing self-strengthening.

It was as if after touching a certain higher-level stage through a glimpse of a leopard in a tube,

his body was spontaneously extending upward accordingly.

That power called "the Power of Time and Space" stimulated the potential in his body…

It seemed

that if he were to be stimulated a few more times,

he should be able to gain even more.

But such things were ultimately just wishful thinking…

Even he, who was bold enough to seek death, felt that such behavior was a bit too much.

This time, he was able to successfully escape from the space-time tunnel without serious injuries, which did not mean that he could replicate it next time.

This was a typical luck-based activity.

The risks involved

could not be ignored by the little bit of time-space resistance he possessed.

Ultimately, the power of time and space

was simply not something he could underestimate at present.

Even those experts whose levels reached the Divine Power Realm and the True Form Realm were still just slightly larger ants in the face of the great power of time and space…

Those experts could use some "Power of Time and Space", which did not mean that they could truly be higher than the "Power of Time and Space" itself.

The principle was very simple.

This was like ants being able to lift a grain of sand from a mountain, which did not mean that they could truly shake the towering mountain.

That kind of thinking

was completely nonsense…

And while he was silently adapting to his own changes,

along with his continuous progress,

the building called Newsreel Tower was getting closer and closer.

Gradually becoming clearly visible,

and, a large group of people walked out of it.

With smiles on their faces, they took the initiative to greet Ling Wuyuan:

“A distinguished guest visits, truly a great event!!”

“Please come in!!”

“Please come in!!”

That was a quite enthusiastic attitude.

Obviously,

as the most well-informed force,

before Ling Wuyuan had arrived here,

they had already learned through information channels that Ling Wuyuan had come to buy information.
