An invisible, yet vast and majestic spiritual thought crossed the endless space and came to this area.
This spiritual thought is like the way of heaven hanging high in the nine heavens, overlooking the ants at your feet.
"Here we come." Ye Feng's expression was solemn.
The power of this spiritual thought has far exceeded the scope of the tribulation period. It swept across the devastated Oasis City, stopped for a moment on the remains of the "curtain keepers", and finally locked onto Ye Feng and Xiao Wuhen.
Under the gaze of this spiritual thought, Xiao Wuhen felt that his soul was trembling, as if he had been seen from the inside out, and no secrets could be hidden. The movement of spiritual power in his body became obscure.
"Odd number...Ye Feng..." An ancient voice sounded directly in the sea of consciousness of the two people. This voice does not differentiate between men and women. It is made up of the overlapping voices of countless people. It carries a kind of majesty, "You have crossed the line."
It is only four words, but it contains the weight of the laws of heaven and earth, which makes Xiao Wuhen almost breathless.
In Ye Feng's sea of consciousness, the original power of the dragon soul automatically circulated, issuing a dragon roar to offset the pressure.
He looked straight into the void, put on that cynical smile again, and responded with the same spiritual thought: "Old guy, is it fun to hide behind the scenes and act like a ghost? If you have the ability, come here and see who made who cross the line."
The ancient voice was silent for a moment, seemingly surprised that Ye Feng could resist his pressure so easily. "Your growth has indeed exceeded expectations. But the order of this world cannot be challenged. This is not the place you should be. Turning back is your only way to survive."
They are just a bunch of shady rats. Today I destroyed one of your strongholds. Another day, I will destroy your lair. I want to see how strong your so-called "canopy" is."
"Arrogant!" The voice finally contained anger. "Since you are seeking your own death, you can't blame others. Soon, you will understand what true despair is."
After the words fell, the vast spiritual thoughts receded like the tide. The distorted sky returned to normal.
But Xiao Wuhen's back was soaked with cold sweat.
He knew very well that the person they were talking to just now was definitely the person standing at the top of the "Curtain Keeper" organization, an old monster with a "Heaven" level!
"Brother Ye, we..." Xiao Wuhen's voice was dry.
"Are you scared?" Ye Feng glanced at him.
Xiao Wuhen took a deep breath, shook his head, and his eyes became firm again. "I'm not afraid, I just think... I'm in big trouble."
"That's right." Ye Feng patted his shoulder and smiled, "It's fun to be in trouble. If the opponent is too weak, just slap him. It's boring to shoot him dead. Let's go to Blackstone Fortress. We have to enter the Northern Territory before that "sky" level old monster sets up a trap. I'm really looking forward to what kind of "gift" he will prepare for us.
After saying that, he no longer stayed, his body swayed, turned into a stream of light, and galloped away in the direction of the Blackstone Fortress.
Xiao Wuhen smiled bitterly and followed immediately.
He knew that from this moment on, what they had to face would no longer be the secret posts and strongholds of the "Curtain Keepers", but the full force of the entire huge organization.
The road ahead is destined to be uneventful.
The two of them galloped along without encountering any harassment from monsters. It seems that even the creatures in this sea of sand feel instinctive fear of Ye Feng's aura that devours all things.
In less than half a day, the black fortress appeared at the end of the horizon.
The fortress was entirely made of an unknown black rock and towered into the clouds.
On the city wall, flags were fluttering, and soldiers wearing black armor, holding long swords, patrolled back and forth. Their auras were calm and powerful, and none of them were below the stage of becoming gods. This is the barrier that separates the endless sand sea and the Northern Territory - the Blackstone Fortress.
Looking at this majestic pass, Ye Feng could feel that the fortress itself was a huge war fortress. The formations and restrictions contained within it were only stronger than the "Blood Sand Formation" in Oasis City. Moreover, in the sky above the fortress, there is an invisible force of law that prohibits most flights and space shuttles. It seems that the only way to enter the Northern Territory is through the gate of the fortress.
"It seems that trying to sneak in quietly is not feasible." Xiao Wuhen said solemnly.
"Then go in openly and openly." Ye Feng said nonchalantly, and at the same time, the aura on his body began to change. The unfathomable aura that was at the peak of transcending tribulations was perfectly disguised by him using the "Zhou Tian Xing Jue", turning him into an ordinary monk who looked like he was only in the early stage of Mahayana. And Xiao Wuhen beside him also suppressed his cultivation level to the Mahayana stage.
"We are now two casual cultivators who are practicing outside and finally crossed the sand sea. Remember?" Ye Feng winked at Xiao Wuhen.
Xiao Wuhen nodded speechlessly.
He really couldn't figure out why Ye Feng needed to do this extraneous thing with his strength and character. Wouldn't it be more in line with his style to just punch in?
The two landed on the ground and followed the flow of people towards the huge city gate.
At the gate of the city, there was a long line of people. There were caravans covered in dust, mercenaries with tough looks, and casual cultivators who came to seek refuge with their relatives and friends.
Everyone entering the city must undergo strict interrogation.
When it was Ye Feng and Xiao Wuhen's turn, a middle-aged general wearing a captain's armor and whose cultivation was in the early stages of overcoming the tribulation swept over them with lightning eyes.
"Name, origin, why did you enter the city?"
"My dear, Ye Liangchen, this is my companion Zhao Ritian." Ye Feng said the two names without changing his expression, "We are casual cultivators from Zhongzhou. We heard that the Northern Territory has magnificent scenery and rich resources, so we came here to travel here and see if there are any opportunities."
When the captain heard these two names, he frowned obviously, but didn't say much.
He took out a simple mirror and looked at the two of them.
On the mirror surface, two soft white lights appeared, without any abnormality.
This is the "Mind Mirror", which can detect most disguises and illusions, and can also sense whether the other party has malicious intentions.
Seeing that there was no response from the Wen Xin Jing, the captain's look of caution softened slightly, but he still did not let him go.
"Zhongzhou? It's a long way. You two are quite capable of crossing the endless sand sea safely. The sand sea is not peaceful recently, and the city is under martial law. You must pay 10,000 top-quality spiritual stones as a deposit for entering the city, and get a temporary identity jade badge before you can enter. Remember, private fighting is prohibited in the city, and you are not allowed to use your spiritual sense to spy. Violators will be shot."
