Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

75: Chapter 75: The Secret of the Fallen Star and Breaking Through the Encirclement with the SwordCity Lord Bai He’s pressure was like physical seawater, heavily compressing every inch of space at the bottom of the pit, and the air seemed to become viscous. The four black-clothed Guards dispersed in a tacit understanding, occupying the four directions and faintly forming a battle formation, sealing off all paths of retreat. The Goatee Old Man hid in the back with a smug expression, clearly very satisfied with his ”contribution.”

Late Golden Core Stage! Such a level of cultivation was already an existence that could walk unchallenged in this remote city. Moreover, this place seemed to faintly resonate with his power, further adding to his imposing aura.

Su Muxue gripped the zhenyuan remnant sword, the sword’s body conveying a cool touch and a trace of an unyielding hum. The Profound Yin Power and Lingxiao Sword Intent within her body circulated rapidly, resisting that majestic pressure, as her mind quickly thought of a countermeasure.

Fighting head-on meant certain death. Only by using wit could they perhaps find a sliver of life.

”What does the City Lord mean by this?” Su Muxue’s voice was cold as she forced herself to remain calm. ”We are just Loose Cultivators passing through this place. Seeing the abnormal Star Power in the sky above this area, we were curious and came specifically to investigate. As for any Starfall Land or generational guardianship, please forgive my ignorance, but I have never heard of them.”

”Oh? Loose Cultivators?” A playful smile curled at the corner of City Lord Bai He’s mouth, his gaze as piercing as a torch, as if he could see through one’s heart. ”What kind of Loose Cultivator possesses such pure Profound Yin Power and... such a sharp and Vast Righteous ancient Sword Intent? And what kind of Loose Cultivator would be followed by a... hmm? Such a peculiar Chaos Spiritual Object?”

His gaze finally fell on Lin Mo’s light sphere, and a hint of undisguised curiosity and scrutiny flashed in his eyes, and even a very subtle... greed?

”Not to mention, you also specifically inquired about the news of the Tianyan Sect in the Central Plains.” City Lord Bai He slowly took a step forward, his pressure becoming even stronger. ”Let this City Lord guess, you escaped from that damned Burial Ancient Abyss, didn’t you? Recently, the abyss entrance has been fluctuating frequently, with Deathly Stillness Qi leaking out from time to time. To be able to come out of it alive and even run to my City Lord Bai He... Heh, you two truly have no small amount of luck.”

He actually knew about the Burial Ancient Abyss! And he seemed to be quite knowledgeable about it!

Su Muxue and Lin Mo were shocked again. This City Lord Bai He was definitely not as simple as the ruler of an ordinary frontier city!

”The City Lord is wise.” Su Muxue knew that concealment was now meaningless, so she simply admitted a portion of it. ”We did indeed escape from a forbidden land with our lives and unintentionally intruded into your territory, only seeking a path to return to our Sect, with no intention of offending. If the City Lord is willing to grant us convenience, we will surely provide a generous reward.”

”Generous reward?” City Lord Bai He chuckled as if he had heard something interesting. ”Aren’t the most valuable things on you yourselves? Especially that peculiar spiritual object in your arms, its aura... can actually trigger the Core of this Starfall Land. Truly, Heaven is helping me!”

A sharp light burst from his eyes, and his tone suddenly became fervent: ”This City Lord has guarded this place for a hundred years and has never been able to truly refine the Core to obtain the true Legacy of the Star Palace! Today, it is only right that I obtain this Opportunity! Capture them! I want them alive! Especially that light sphere!”

Before his words even fell, those four black-clothed Guards moved simultaneously!

The four figures were like ghosts, their hand seals activating four distinct yet complementary spiritual lights that suddenly lit up, transforming into a giant Spiritual Power Net covered in runes that descended upon Su Muxue! At the same time, the steps beneath their feet shifted, and the power of the battle formation linked together, causing the power of this net to increase several-fold, enough to trap an ordinary Early Golden Core Cultivator!

Clearly, they were well-trained and specialized in Joint Attack Techniques!
