Wang Jixuan even took action, waiting for the planetary barrier to open, with thoughts to meditate for a few years here.

The spiritual energy within the Pillar Blade Beast compared to here is like a small pond encountering the vast ocean!

The gigantic spiritual energy group he sensed earlier, enveloping the earth core, probably represents the main body of Cloud City.

"Quite good."

The Daoist stretched lazily, exploring with spiritual sense more meticulously, having already understood some of the subtleties about these puppets.

As for the problem he gave He Ruli...

If He Ruli can't solve it, then he can conveniently propose other conditions.

In case He Ruli actually manages it, he won't lose out either.

Wang Jixuan only didn't expect that after waiting just two days this time, he neither heard any good news from He Ruli nor any bad news, but instead awaited...

A loud noise.

...

Rumble—

As if muffled thunder exploded overhead.

A slight tremor appeared at the northwestern corner of Cloud City.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.

Several figures directly appeared above the central palace complex, naturally Wang Jixuan and two Spirit Cultivators.

Wang Jixuan is currently using the Sword Control Technique for flight; without forming a Nascent Soul, he cannot freely overcome the simulated gravitational field here.

Only that the object he controls is the sole of his shoe.

—Putting two refined metal pieces on the sole can perfectly solve this problem; cultivators in the cultivation world often do this.

At Cloud City's northwestern corner, outside the city walls, appeared a mass of gray fog.

There seemed to be a small opening;

but the fog rolled, Cloud City showed no damage, its main body gradually exuding golden light that quickly repelled the fog.

"What's going on?"

Nierdamon asked aloud:

"An enemy?"

Amina flew forward: "I'll go take a look."

But Wang Jixuan called out to stop Amina: "No need to rush, why not ask the guardians here?"

Below, several people standing atop the hall searched left and right, soon seeing a luminescent light sprout and revealed the shadowy figure of He Ruli.

"Someone is trying to open the path I previously closed."

He Ruli said indifferently:

"It's the people brought by Hei Yao I mentioned to you before."

Wang Jixuan's spirit lifted.

Ye Zi is here?

Well now, he hadn't yet gone to find Ye Zi to ask about his memory about the Three Realms Wanderer, and Ye Zi came looking!

Wang Jixuan, who had just advised Amina not to go over, immediately wanted to move forward upon hearing this.

He Ruli reminded: "The ones coming aren't Spirit Cultivators, but a group of very strange creatures; I suggest you not proceed rashly, as they can't enter the limitations I've set."

Amina asked: "Are they very strong?"

"If you were at your peak, one person could easily handle them, but now, their number is too great."

He Ruli said:

"Come to my command center; you can see more clearly there."

After speaking, He Ruli's figure slowly dissipated.

Two bronze puppets appeared, lightly bowed to Wang Jixuan and others, then turned to usher them.

A few minutes later.

Wang Jixuan had previously used spiritual sense to explore the underground command center.

Wang Jixuan's six-member team and Nierdamon each sat behind a peculiar shapes of display screens, watching the same set of real-time scenes.

Cloud City's perimeter was wrapped in a mass of gray air, which was very peculiar, looking as if it could easily be blown away by the wind, but as soon as people enter, they quickly encounter invisible resistance.

The deeper the intruders go, the greater the resistance;

The stronger the intruders' power, the greater the resistance at the same position.

When intruders forcibly reach their limits, just a small gasp would bounce them out like a trampoline by the gray air.

Over sixty men and women clad in black cloaks were playing this 'trampoline' game at the moment.

They kept walking into the gray air, only to be pushed back again and again.

Wang Jixuan seized the chance to glance at the situation outside the gray air.

It was a gray world, as if the creator gave only the bones of heaven and earth when designing the small world outside Cloud City.

No sign of Ye Zi;

nor any members of those Spirit Cultivators.

It seems these Advanced Spiritual Slaves were sent down, probably to probe or apply pressure.

Wang Jixuan turned his head to ask: "Are you sure they can't get in?"

He Ruli was currently leaning in the wide chair, her left hand supporting her temple, and she softly said, "Confirmed, you can rest assured about this."

Wang Jixuan suddenly smiled, "Are you thinking about how to use them to exert pressure on me?"

"Yes," He Ruli smiled calmly, "It seems I have a few more bargaining chips now."

Wang Jixuan said indifferently, "Are you trying to topple and rebuild the preliminary trust we have established?"

"Great Pioneer, please don't be angry, this is just a tease."

He Ruli said:

"Since you have already arrived here, our plan is nearing completion, there is no need for me to create extra troubles."

The few people beside her exhaled slowly.

He Ruli then asked, "Pioneer, do you intend to drive these people away or capture them alive?"

"Hmm," Wang Jixuan thought for a moment, "Can't they all be killed?"

"They are intelligent creatures, if things don't look right, they will definitely leave, our Puppets and drones can't leave the city area too far at the moment."

He Ruli explained simply:

"My suggestion is to capture a few Spirit Slaves to interrogate."

"But this also carries a certain risk."

Wang Jixuan said, "I am more interested in the Spirit Cultivator behind them."

He Ruli nodded lightly, her fingers gently tapping.

The image showed some fluctuations, four Bronze Puppets flew up from the group of palaces and charged towards the northwest corner in sync.

They moved extremely swiftly, once entering the grey Qi outside the city wall, they vanished from sight.

Outside, those Advanced Spiritual Slaves seemed to have sensed these four powerful Qi.

—These Puppets were not designed to conceal their Qi fluctuations.

The group of Advanced Spiritual Slaves immediately began to retreat rapidly, retreating in somewhat a panic.

Seven or eight slower individuals were grabbed by their companions.

The grey Qi surged, the four Bronze Puppets appeared at the edge of the grey Qi, staring coldly at these people.

He Ruli's voice came from above the Puppets:

"Those who disturb the sleeping land will be severely punished."

These Advanced Spiritual Slaves all looked at several leaders.

These few people suddenly kneeled down.

A group of Advanced Spiritual Slaves knelt down sparsely, praying very devoutly.

The leading middle-aged man shouted in Spirit Cultivation language:

"Great Divine! We pay our sincere respects to you!"

"We received news, a gang of thieves has intruded into the Supreme Holy Land! We are ordered to come and protect the Holy Land!"

"Please allow us to enter, we strictly follow the master's orders, we will not covet anything here! Please trust us!"

"Your master?"

He Ruli scoffed:

"If I recall correctly, last time she came here, she deceived me and stole our most precious treasure."

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Our master was also deceived by others! Please forgive us!"

"Get lost."

He Ruli scoffed coldly, "If you come closer, I will let you taste the wrath from ancient times!"

The four Bronze Puppets emitted a powerful sense of oppression.

In reality, they were limited by their own 'permissions', unable to go far from the grey Qi.

The group slowly stood up.

It seemed that gentleness didn't work, they would try a tougher approach.

Wang Jixuan asked, "What is their actual strength? I can't unfold Spiritual Sense."

"In Cloud City, any Spirit Slave and Spirit Cultivator are nothing noteworthy," He Ruli said.

Nierdamon was an honest person, he said in a low voice, "Ten Advanced Spiritual Slaves, equivalent to SS-level Spiritual Ability Users, the rest are S-level, but there are some unfamiliar fluctuations within them that I feel."

Amina said, "Hei Yao's group took away a lot of technology here, but the good news is, this force that was hiding in the corner has finally begun to surface."

"Excuse me, I'll interject," Ji Xiao asked softly, "In the technologies provided by this ancient being, is there anything that can break the outer Barrier?"

He Ruli was stunned for a moment, then fell into memory, her expression suddenly became a bit grim.

Before she could speak, twelve people in the group of Spirit Slaves suddenly rushed out, tore off their shirts, revealing their solid or plump upper bodies.

Without exception, there was a hexagonal imprint on their chests.

The twelve people simultaneously screamed miserably, countless black dots flew out from the imprint like a swarm of locusts, quickly flocking to the grey clouds ahead.

He Ruli's Residual Spirit stood up abruptly.

"Death Spirit Sacrifice!"

She immediately made a move, the four Bronze Puppets simultaneously punched forward, forming a huge Qi shield.

Then these Bronze Puppets turned around and fled, the whole city shone with golden light, a thick Light Barrier completely enveloping the city.

Those locust-like, granular black Qi had already shattered the outer 'bouncy bed' like grey Qi.
