Chapter 011: The City in the Sky (Part 2)

“Elders, is this true?”
At this moment, Fisher stared in surprise at Elders Qian and Xun before him. Just a few minutes earlier, he had heard with his own ears the news about the City in the Sky from these two elders.
“That’s right, it’s the City in the Sky,” Qian said with a faint smile, looking at Fisher’s astonished expression. “This news might be hard for you young people to understand, but for us old folks, it’s quite clear. The reappearance of the City in the Sky is a good thing for everyone. If you, the Regent, are interested, we two old men can accompany you on the journey.”
Hearing Elder Qian’s words, Fisher couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Fisher was well aware of the intentions of Elders Qian and Xun. They wanted good things for themselves, and no matter what was obtained, it would likely have to be shared. Moreover, Fisher currently only had five Archbishops in his ranks, and even those five obeyed Qian and Xun’s orders. So if they really went to the City in the Sky, the benefits he could reap would be minimal.
Fisher wasn’t a fool either. He would carefully calculate everything before taking action, but even so, these matters still gave him a lot of headaches.
“Alright, let’s go,” Fisher said firmly, gritting his teeth as he looked at Elders Qian and Xun.

Two days later, the Southern Province.
Due to Du Fan’s decision, only a small group was taken on this journey to the City in the Sky.
Basha, Lambowan, and Lumba couldn’t go because they had to train the newly recruited mixed troops.
Naixiu and Moses needed to reorganize the Elf-Gryphon Squad, so they also couldn’t accompany Du Fan to fight in the City in the Sky.
Finally, after much deliberation, Du Fan finalized the list. Those going to the City in the Sky were Rob, the Long Yi brothers, Raymond, and Du Fan himself.
It should be noted that Long Yi and the others, along with Rob and Raymond, were true gods. Although their divine powers were limited on the continent, they still possessed their own cultivation levels. Moreover, Long Yi and Raymond were veterans of the War of the Gods, skilled in handling any situation. Therefore, Du Fan trusted them greatly.

“Du Fan,” Long Yi said nervously, holding the map marked with the location of the Sky City, “I’m afraid that over the years, some new faction might have emerged in the Sky City. So once we get there, no matter what problems arise, it’s best not to act rashly. We brothers will handle them. As for the loot…”
“A fixed price: 522,” Du Fan said, leaving no room for negotiation, immediately proposing such a figure.
522 meant that 50% of the loot would go to Du Fan, 20% to Long Yi and the others, 20% to Raymond, and the final 10% would undoubtedly be stored for Du Fan’s future use against Fisher or even the Archangel Legion.
“You’re really ruthless!” Long Yi shook his head helplessly, glanced at his brothers behind him, and then gritted his teeth in resignation, agreeing, “Fine, 522 it is.”
“Hehe.” Hearing Long Yi’s response, Du Fan smirked slyly before leading everyone into the air, heading toward the Sky City.
…
“Camp here,” Du Fan ordered. In less than a minute, Long Yi and the others set up two tents. Looking at the completed tents, Du Fan asked in confusion, “We’re already close to the Sky City. Why can’t we see anything in the sky?”
“Sigh,” Long Yi shook his head helplessly and explained, “Although the Sky City is in the air, it’s still at least dozens of miles above the sky we can see. It’s normal that we can’t see it now.”
“I see,” Du Fan said before suddenly darkening his expression and declaring, “Someone’s coming!”
As soon as he spoke, eight figures appeared, their fierce auras lingering around the tents.
Long Yi and the others were surprised to see Du Fan—since even they, with their divine-level strength, couldn’t sense anyone approaching, yet Du Fan, with only domain-level power, could detect them. They began to suspect he might be pretending to be weak.
Seeing their reactions, Du Fan smiled helplessly. He was all too familiar with those auras. With that thought, he slowly stepped out of the tent.
“Du Fan, I didn’t expect you to still be alive,” a young man in the sky said through gritted teeth, staring at Du Fan. But when he saw Long Yi and the others coming out, he broke into a cold sweat.

Du Fan smiled as he looked at the eight people in the air. If those eight weren’t Fisher and the others, then who could they be?
“Fisher, what are you doing here?” Du Fan sneered coldly. Looking at Qian and Xun in the air, he couldn’t help but mock them, “I never thought Fisher was also afraid of death. He even brought these two fools along.”
“Kid, don’t just talk big,” Qian said with a slight smile as he looked at Du Fan and the others. He then turned to Long Yi and said, “I didn’t expect someone as strong as you to side with Du Fan.”
“Same here,” Long Yi snorted disdainfully. Looking at Qian, he said, “Your strength is also that of an intermediate god, right? Why would you side with such a ruthless master? Aren’t you afraid that one day your little master might assassinate you too?”
Although Long Yi had only returned to the continent not long ago, he was well aware of the situation between Du Fan and Fisher. He deliberately used this as an excuse to humiliate Fisher.
“Elders, those old bastards must be competing with you for something. I think we should deal with them now,” Fisher snorted as he slowly spoke to the people in front of him.
Just then, a thunderclap suddenly rang out in the clear sky, followed by a flash of lightning. A powerful hand, like iron tongs, tightly grasped Fisher’s neck.
“If you want to die, I’ll help you do it myself,” Raymond said. His eyes had turned into lightning, with countless bolts of electricity appearing and disappearing within them. The scene resembled ancient times, and even Raymond’s body was flickering with electric snakes.
“Lightning?” Qian murmured. With a wave of his hand, a mighty force was sent in the direction of Raymond.
“Trivial tricks!”
Long Yi snorted and soared into the air. With his fierce power, he not only dispersed the energy sent by Qian in mid-air but also sent his golden energy, unbound, toward Qian’s direction.
This energy clearly surpassed what Qian had used. Seeing it charging toward him, Qian was shocked and quickly dodged!
Although he couldn’t display godly strength on the continent, Qian still possessed the agility of an intermediate god. He easily dodged Long Yi’s attack.

“No, you kid! On this continent, one simply cannot use divine power. The power you used just now was clearly beyond that of a lower-tier god! Aren’t you worried about being forcibly taken away by the divine realm?” Qian Shan asked immediately from the side.

“Haha! Kid, look more carefully. Is the power we use what you call divine power?” Long Yi suddenly laughed loudly and sent another burst of golden energy rushing toward Qian!

Qian dodged again, his heart filled with anger. Although both sides were roughly at the same level, facing this strong opponent, he felt as if he couldn’t use his full strength! The other party could unleash most of their power, while he couldn’t even use his complete divine power. Thus, Qian was completely at a disadvantage.

“What kind of energy is this?” Qian asked, studying Long Yi’s energy attributes with frustration. “It resembles divine power to some extent, but also has elements of dragon power,” he murmured.

“You kid, as a mid-tier god, you do have some insight after all,” Long Yi said with a smile. “To tell you the truth, I belong to the ancient dragon race. My power isn’t actually divine power at all. Hmph! So, those rules on your continent that forbid the use of power above the divine level mean nothing to me!”

Hearing this, Qian was stunned. He was now completely at a disadvantage—unable to use divine power, while the other party could wield the dragon power of the ancient dragon race, which was comparable to divine power! Wouldn’t this put him in a completely passive position?

Fisher, who was being held by Raymond by the neck, suddenly muttered a few words. Soon, a dazzling white light erupted from Fisher’s body, sending Raymond flying away!

As the God of Thunder, Raymond’s power was indeed divine power. Thus, he was restricted from using divine power on this continent, which allowed Fisher’s counterattack to send him flying!

“I’ll blow you up, you bastard!” Raymond, who had been sent flying, returned immediately. Raising his hands, he sent countless bolts of lightning toward Fisher!

Just as the lightning was about to strike Fisher again, his entire body was enveloped in a layer of sacred-grade light. The fierce lightning released by Raymond struck against Fisher’s shield as if hitting the ocean. The lightning slid along the shield before disappearing without a trace.

Seeing this, Raymond snorted heavily, exerting more force with his hands, sending even more fierce and violent energy forward. Yet, these lightning bolts still had no effect on Fischer’s protective shield! Just then, Long Ba spoke up. “Thunder Boy, if you keep attacking like this your whole life, it won’t work at all,” Long Ba said with a smile. “You must realize that the protective treasure on this kid’s body is a divine artifact capable of withstanding godly power. And you, on this continent, truly can’t unleash your full divine power. So how can you break through that defense?” “Hmph!” Hearing Long Ba’s words, Raymond snorted again. “How about this! Let me give it a try!” Long Ba suddenly shouted. Without waiting for Raymond’s consent, Long Ba flew forward, raised his hands, extended his right hand, and delivered a powerful punch straight at Fischer’s protective shield. The moment Long Ba’s fist hit the shield, a clear sound was heard—the shield, as expected, was shattered by his punch! Fischer was also knocked back several steps and collapsed to the ground. This supreme ruler of the Gavin Empire, the pope’s godson, spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he sat down. Seeing that Fischer hadn’t died even after taking his punch, Long Ba frowned and stepped forward, ready to strike again. At that moment, Xun pulled Fischer away and lightly moved to the side. “Trying to run!” Long Ba shouted loudly. With that cry, Long Ba pushed off the ground and quickly chased after Xun. While Long Ba pursued Xun, who was holding Fischer, the others attacked the other experts brought by Fischer! The rest were merely domain masters, and in the face of those fierce ancient dragon clansmen, they didn’t even have a chance to escape.
