Chapter 4182: Ancient Barbarian City

Ye Bufan said, "Mangu City? Then we'll go there."

After asking for directions, he controlled Nine Heavens and flew towards Mangu City.

Hua Qiqi added, "But you need to be prepared. Savage Ancient Holy God is violent, cruel, greedy, and lustful. He's not easy to deal with."

"It doesn't matter. We'll take it one step at a time. Once we reach Mangu City, perhaps others will know where the battlefield is."

Mangu City wasn't close, requiring about half a day of flying.

Ye Bufan then asked, "How many powerhouses does the Prehistoric Race have?"

He had learned a lot from Zhuge Qingyang before, knowing that the Prehistoric Race's strength corresponded to the Human Race's. Those equivalent to a First Grade Saint Emperor were called First Grade Prehistoric Holy Gods, and so on.

Hua Qiqi said, "The Prehistoric Race has a total of six Fifth Grade Holy Gods. There are many rumors outside; some say the Prehistoric Holy Emperor is Fifth Grade, while others say he has already entered Sixth Grade. There are various opinions.

Anyway, he hasn't been seen making a move for so many years, so his true strength is unknown."

Lu Banxia said, "Six Fifth Grade Holy Gods? Are they that strong? Stronger than the Dragon Clan?"

Hua Qiqi said, "You can't say that. War God Heaven should correspond to Demon Emperor Heaven, and Demon Emperor Heaven not only has the Dragon Clan but also the former Sky Fox Clan and Kirin Clan.

Even if the Heavenly Fox Clan is in decline now, the Kirin Clan has no fewer powerhouses. If they join forces, they are still more powerful than War God Heaven."

Xuan Yuan Linglong said, "But whether it's Demon Emperor Heaven or War God Heaven, they both seem stronger than the Human Race. If they join forces, wouldn't the Human Race be in danger?"

"You can't say that either."

Hua Qiqi said, "Whether it's the Prehistoric Race or the Immortal Demon Beasts of Demon Emperor Heaven, they have always respected the strong. As long as they have strength, they will not hide it.

In contrast, the Human Race is different. Some old monsters are terrifyingly strong but prefer to live in seclusion.

So, on the surface, the Human Race only has the Five Great Sects, but in reality, there are some hidden powerhouses.

If other races join forces against the Human Race, and it truly comes to the brink of extinction, they will absolutely not stand by and do nothing."

"Oh!"

The others nodded.

Hua Qiqi added, "For so many years in the Upper Heaven Domain, the major forces have been at peace, and there are inherent reasons for this.

For example, the Prehistoric Race of War God Heaven finds this to be the best environment for Cultivation. Although the Spiritual Qi is abundant on the Human Race's side, it's not beneficial to them.

The same goes for the Immortal Demon Beasts. They already occupy the most suitable geographical locations for themselves, so why would they abandon the fundamental for the trivial?"

Xuan Yuan Linglong nodded, "So that's how it is."

As they chatted and walked, after about half a day, a huge ancient city appeared in their line of sight.

Although they had seen many Immortal Cities, everyone was still quite amazed when they saw this city.

The reason was simple: this Mangu City was too big, and crucially, every stone used to build the city was surprisingly large.

It's no exaggeration to say that each stone was as large as a Human Race house, and they didn't know how they were stacked together.

Such a massive city, built in this manner, exuded a majestic Aura even from a distance.

A huge city gate, a hundred zhang high and dozens of zhang wide, had three simple characters carved on its lintel—Mangu City.

Dozens of soldiers guarded the city gate, and their powerful Aura could be felt from afar; they had all reached the Rank of Desolate War God.

From a distance, Ye Bufan put away Nine Heavens. For convenience, he only kept Lanxi and Jin Meier by his side, besides the few whose strength had reached Fifth Grade.

Both of them were from the Prehistoric Race, which would make things more convenient.

He was here to do business and did not want to cause unnecessary trouble unless absolutely necessary.

At the city gate, people were lining up to enter the city, and each person had to pay ten War God Jade Crystals.

This item was the currency circulated in War God Heaven, equivalent to High Grade Immortal Crystals in the Immortal Realm. It contained extremely rich Prehistoric Energy and could provide resources for the Prehistoric Race's Cultivation.

Ye Bufan also had these items. When he had previously plundered so many Storage Rings, many people were heading to War God Heaven, and they had accumulated a considerable amount.

However, it hadn't been of much use before. This Rank of War God Jade Crystal wasn't of much help for Jin Meier to improve her strength either.

Now, the city entrance fee came in handy. Ye Bufan paid the money and led everyone into the city.

Compared to the Human Race's Immortal Cities, the architecture and cultural style here were somewhat rougher.

But everything that should be there was present: merchants, shops, inns, and restaurants, none were missing.

Moreover, there were many Human Race Immortals who came here for training, exchanging resources with the Prehistoric Race.

Ye Bufan led everyone into an inn. With a large amount of War God Jade Crystals in hand, and no other use for them, he directly rented the most luxurious courtyard and settled in.

Human relations are similar across all races. Seeing his generous spending, the Waiter's attitude became extremely respectful, fawning over him and running around.

After settling into their lodging, Ye Bufan directly tipped him a hundred War God Jade Crystals: "I have a few questions for you. Answer me truthfully."

Having received so much in tips all at once, the Waiter's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Young Master, rest assured, I'll tell you everything I know."

Ye Bufan went straight to the point: "I'm here for training. I heard that ancient Human Race Five Great Saint Emperors once had a great battle in War God Heaven. Do you know where it was?"

"This… I really don't know."

The Waiter looked disappointed. Although places like restaurants and inns had mixed information, the people who came and went had very low Cultivation strength, and they mostly talked about trivial matters.

They had no contact with Saint Emperor-level figures, had never even heard of them, and certainly didn't know the location of the battle.

Ye Bufan had originally just been trying his luck. As a result, he asked several questions in a row, and the other party was dumbfounded, unable to answer anything.

He shook his head. It seemed he still needed to ask a powerhouse.

Just as he was about to dismiss the Waiter, a thunderous voice suddenly resounded over Mangu City.

"Soldiers of Mangu City, listen to my command! Immediately seal off the four gates, allowing no one to enter or exit. At the same time, supervise the city; no one is allowed to step out of their doors. Violators will be executed without mercy."

The voice was filled with endless majesty, spreading to every corner of the entire city. It was clear that the speaker's strength was absolutely not low, perhaps even reaching the Rank of Holy God.

As soon as the voice fell, the entire Mangu City sprang into action. Small vendors ran away, and shops closed their doors.

A few breaths later, the previously bustling streets were completely empty, with not a single ordinary person in sight.

Immediately following, the roar of huge footsteps sounded, and squads of guards rushed into the streets, searching house by house, seemingly looking for something.

Although Ye Bufan was in his room, his Divine Sense clearly saw the situation outside. He paused, then looked at the Waiter again, "What's going on?"
