Chapter 1052 - 1055: Departure and Return (Part 4)
"What... what is happening?"
"I’m not too sure either..."
Everyone’s gaze gradually turned towards Mu Ruyue. Upon witnessing her current surroundings, their hearts involuntarily filled with profound shock...
The white light emanating from the Alchemy Furnace in front of Mu Ruyue seemed to illuminate the entire sky...
Underneath the azure sky, a reflection of tall buildings appeared.
Then, it felt as if a shackle tightly bound everyone, leaving them unable to move, fearfully staring at the white-clad figure amidst the raging wind...
"When a Divine-class Elixir appears, all martial artists beneath the divine-class are mere ants!"
The City Lord’s face turned pale, finally revealing fear in his eyes.
An ancient legend holds that when a Divine-class Elixir comes into being, all martial artists below that tier are mere ants in the hands of the one who refines the elixir...
The brilliance of the Divine-class Elixir was enough to render everyone immobile, even if just for a short moment, but even such a brief moment suffices to accomplish many things...
This girl, she actually... refined a Divine-class Elixir?
The City Lord was on the verge of madness, unwilling to believe it, but some things were undeniable...
Staring at the girl walking towards him under the white light, the City Lord’s heart was gradually consumed by fear, causing his body to tremble lightly.
"No!"
A heart-wrenching howl echoed across the sky, laden with deep-seated terror.
However, it was too late...
His foolishness cost him his life!
If only he had not been overly confident from the start, thinking Mu Ruyue couldn’t harm him, he wouldn’t have been so foolish not to stop her...
Now, regret came too late.
Swoosh!
A crimson light streaked across the sky, blood gushed out from his neck, his body stiffened, then slowly leaned towards the ground...
Thud!
His body fell heavily onto the ground, the blood dyed the entire surface a bright red, resembling a blooming, bewitching rose reflected in everyone’s eyes...
Dead?
The mighty, unrivaled City Lord had simply perished just like that?
Everyone jolted, staring in disbelief at Mu Ruyue’s stunning visage. As that figure in white turned, everyone exchanged glances, and unanimously kneeled.
"Salutations to the new City Lord!"
Purgatory City operates on the survival of the fittest. Whoever kills the previous City Lord becomes the next one...
The previous one had risen by killing his predecessor.
"I am not your City Lord," Mu Ruyue smiled faintly, pointing to Lv Yang who followed, "Purgatory City will be managed by him."
At that moment, Lv Yang had yet to recover from his shock, staring blankly at Mu Ruyue. Initially, he thought she was a disciple of the Master of Nihility.
Who would have thought that this woman, whom he once disregarded, was actually a Divine-class Alchemy Master?
Good heavens, could this world get any crazier?
Just as Lv Yang was overwhelmed by shock, the woman’s voice sounded beside his ear, bringing him back to his senses. He respectfully said, "Rest assured, Master, I will manage Purgatory City well and am always ready to welcome you back."
Mu Ruyue nodded slightly.
Lv Yang had already been turned into a puppet by her, never to betray her in his lifetime, which is why she trusted him so much...
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Mu Ruyue’s gaze swept over to a trembling voice in the crowd, curling her lips into a cold smile: "Remember to fully clear out the remnants of the past!"
