#2565 - Fighting outside Sky City (Part 1)
Sophie's tone changed: "Since Emperor Qin has already made a decision, then I can only wish Emperor Qin success in advance."
She had already explained the pros and cons to Qin Buyi beforehand.
If he still insisted on taking action, then whatever happened afterward would definitely not be her responsibility.
Sophie even thought that if Qin Buyi really asked for her help, it might be a wonderful thing!
Qin Buyi, who was about to leave, suddenly had a thought.
He looked at Sophie and said, "City Lord Sophie, what grade is your current cultivation realm in the Dao Palace?"
Sophie smiled ambiguously: "I have known Emperor Qin for so many years, but I still don't know Emperor Qin's true cultivation level."
"Emperor Qin, how about we have a frank and open exchange?"
Sophie emphasized the words 'frank and open exchange'!
Qin Buyi was not a naive child, so he naturally understood the ambiguity contained within.
He shook his head and said, "Goodbye!"
Sophie's refusal to reveal her true cultivation realm was not a big deal for Qin Buyi.
As long as his cultivation breakthrough speed was fast enough, he would eventually be able to see through Sophie's cultivation realm with his own strength.
Sophie watched Qin Buyi's departing figure and whispered:
"He's really a blockhead who doesn't understand anything. I don't know how he managed to cultivate to this level."
Logically speaking, after so many years of cultivation, reaching Qin Buyi's current level, he should have rich theoretical and practical experience in matters of love.
However, after observing Qin Buyi for so long, he... seemed completely uninterested in such things.
This made Sophie somewhat suspicious of Qin Buyi's past experiences.
She really wanted to know what he had experienced to create Qin Buyi's current 'indifference'.
Many forces in Sky City saw Qin Buyi leave the City Lord's mansion in less than an hour.
Considering the previous speculations, they couldn't help but feel confused.
They didn't quite understand what was happening.
"Didn't you say that Emperor Qin and City Lord Sophie had something going on, and that Emperor Qin's open and aboveboard entry into the City Lord's mansion was a sign of recklessness? How do you explain this now?"
"Ahem~ Perhaps the previous speculation was inaccurate. Maybe Emperor Qin and City Lord Sophie are really innocent, and we are just overthinking it. I think this explanation is more reliable."
"Nonsense, we are all men, and we understand Emperor Qin the best. I don't believe he wouldn't be tempted by the beautiful City Lord Sophie. This must all be a smokescreen they released."
"Yes, City Lord Sophie must not want this kind of thing to continue, so she deliberately created a smokescreen. Thinking about it, she is really kind!"...
On the way, Qin Buyi heard this kind of 'gossip' and his expression became a little unnatural.
With his current combat power, there were not many people in Sky City stronger than him.
With a slight sweep of his divine sense, he could 'see' many things happening in Sky City.
While Sky City was gossiping, the five Nine-Rank Immortal Emperor forces that were hostile to Qin Buyi were the most panicked.
Perhaps because of excessive tension and attention.
They vaguely felt that Qin Buyi's visit to Sophie this time was specifically to deal with them.
This was the most reasonable of the many speculations.
The Heavenly Wind Group's development was now thriving.
There was nothing that Qin Buyi needed to worry about.
And nothing that could be found at Sophie's place.
The only possibility was that he was going to attack them!
Sophie, as the City Lord of Sky City, needed to be informed of this matter.
After understanding this, the five Nine-Rank Immortal Emperor level powerhouses gathered together.
The expressions on their faces constantly changed, and they seemed to be struggling internally...
"We must make a decision now, whether to leave or stay. Emperor Qin has already made the first move. If we don't react, the only consequence will be our demise!"
"Aren't we being a little paranoid? Don't get so nervous about everything. There is no concrete news yet. Perhaps Emperor Qin is not targeting us."
"Hmph, you can still have such naive thoughts now. I am truly happy for you. I have already decided to run away. If you want to stay, then stay."
"Damn, even you, who has a deep relationship with a First-Rank Dao Palace Realm expert, are running away. I definitely won't stay in Sky City. As the saying goes, where there's life, there's hope."
......
Once the idea of running away was established, it was like a weed that had taken root and could no longer be suppressed.
With the idea that any day is a good day.
These five Nine-Rank Immortal Emperors took their life savings and decided to leave first.
As for their many subordinates, they would send a message to them to retreat after they reached a safe place.
The reason for doing this was entirely to reduce the risk of exposure.
They thought that Qin Buyi, as a strong person, would definitely not attack small characters.
They were the most dangerous!
As long as they escaped, the rest would be easy.
Little did they know that all of this was being 'witnessed' by Qin Buyi, who was secretly controlling the overall situation.
A cold smile appeared on Qin Buyi's face: "You want to run now? It's too late!"
He opened the system store to exchange for the pills needed for the upcoming battle.
His current combat power was still at the peak of the Eighth-Rank Immortal Emperor Realm.
These five were all Nine-Rank Immortal Emperors. It was unrealistic to completely kill them with his original combat power.
To achieve this, he had to use pills to raise his combat power to the limit!
[Fifty-Ninth Order·Epic Hundred Kill Pill·Full: The user gains one hundred and five full stamina recovery times. At the same time, all attributes are increased by 3000% until the end of the battle. Value: 10 trillion Saint-level system store points.]
(Warm reminder: This is an advanced version of the [Fifty-Ninth Order·Epic Hundred Kill Pill]. No need to accumulate kills. Take it to get the full effect of the Hundred Kill Pill!)
[Fifty-Ninth Order·Legendary Ten Strike Pill: The user can unleash 500% of their combat power in the next ten attacks without any side effects. Price: 10 trillion Saint-level system store points.]
After spending 20 trillion Saint-level points, the system store Saint-level point balance became 7.32 quadrillion.
Using the power of the system store, he completely swallowed the two pills he had exchanged.
In an instant, the power in his body soared from the peak of the Eighth-Rank Immortal Emperor Realm to the peak of the Ninth-Rank Immortal Emperor Realm.
Feeling the surging power in his body, Qin Buyi's figure disappeared from the spot...
When he reappeared, it was on the inevitable path for the five Immortal Emperors outside Sky City to escape.
The reason for being so certain was because of the unique terrain and location of Sky City.
According to the information Qin Buyi currently had, the other three directions of Sky City were occupied by the fierce beast race.
Escaping in these three directions would inevitably be fraught with peril!
Based on this idea, any normal person would not choose the other three directions.
