Chapter 2314: Chapter 2313: Temporal Reversal

The roadblocker raised a hand, and the lights gathered in the pipeline immediately lit up.

Hundreds of large mechanical cannons and thousands of mechanical warriors raised their weapons.

"Are you cultivators?"

The roadblocker looked surprised and tauntingly said, "I despise you ancient cultivators the most. You think that just because you’ve mastered a little bit of earthly energy, you can run wild everywhere. Today, I’m going to show you the power of technology."

"Retreat quickly!"

The cultivators behind Long Fei deployed their magical weapons, trying to break through the fire net from behind.

The roadblockers in front had already pulled the triggers, firing clustered light flames, instantly raising the temperature in front, turning the entire pipeline into a furnace.

These forces, accompanied by surging heat waves, quickly arrived in front of Long Fei.

A buzzing sound echoed, and a black barrier suddenly floated up in front of Long Fei, swallowing all the thousands of energy light waves.

Eh!

The roadblockers were shocked, unable to react, when suddenly a light screen emerged from the front.

The energy swallowed by the black barrier was abruptly released from this light screen.

"Time-space manipulation?"

The roadblocker let out a final exclamation, suddenly feeling intense heat around his body.

A red light flashed in front of his eyes, accompanied by a thundering explosion.

The entire pipeline exploded and collapsed, violently shaking and overturning the ground above, sending it soaring tens of meters into the air.

Sky City’s alarms blared, and the city’s guard squad quickly responded, with nearly a thousand giant warplanes heading this way.

By the time they arrived, there was no one left amid the rubble of the pipeline.

The roadblockers from before had been reduced to gusts, leaving only their shadows on the broken walls.

"Alarm, alarm, there’s an intruder!"

In the sky above the city, the guard squad’s warships quickly took flight, conducting a full-scale search for the recent intruder.

The large mechas usually came equipped with scanning systems.

But oddly, the recent scan system’s backup was just static.

Due to some energy interference, no signals were transmitted.

The guards aimlessly searched the city skies all night without any results.

Inside a luxurious hotel in the city, Long Fei reunited with Wang Xiaoya, Wuu De, Xiao Ren, and Chu Feng.

The towering steel building floated above the clouds.

When the sun rose, the fog was instantly enveloped in a golden light, looking magnificent and grand.

Once everyone gathered, they shared happy hugs with Long Fei.

After some time apart, everyone’s cultivation level had surprisingly advanced a level, all reaching the late phase of the Void Insight Realm.

Wang Xiaoya complained to them, "You all were there early, and didn’t even think of finding a way to bring us up."

Chu Feng and the others laughed, "Sect Leader’s Wife, with the Great Sect Leader protecting you, why would you need us to go anywhere?"

Bald Dog asked anxiously, "Were those incidents in the south sewer last night caused by you guys?"

Wang Xiaoya and Long Fei exchanged glances and nodded with a smile.

Chu Feng chuckled, "Well, now the City Lord probably won’t be getting any sleep."

Long Fei asked them, "Was the wanted notice outside the city walls issued by you for this City Lord?"

"The boss is wise!"

Chu Feng and the others scratched their heads and giggled.

This wanted notice was a marker they left for Long Fei.

"Let’s not just stand here, let’s eat and talk!"

Chu Feng invited everyone with a smile to the hotel’s luxurious restaurant.

Located on the hotel’s top floor, it provided a wide view, entirely made of transparent crystal glass.

Early in the morning, many were eating breakfast.

They sat by the window and ordered a table full of dishes from the waiter.

Wuu De looked around and asked, "We’re wanted criminals now; is it safe to be eating here?"

Chu Feng laughed, "Don’t worry! This restaurant is special; even the usual guard squads wouldn’t dare investigate here."

Wang Jie looked at Long Fei and said, "By the way, brother, we haven’t asked you about the Great Tang Empire yet! When we left, weren’t you trapped in Ci’en Pagoda?"

Bald Dog took out some hidden liquor and filled a glass for everyone.

Long Fei took a sip and briefly recounted the events in the Great Tang Empire.

Wang Xiaoya added about the man in black, causing Bald Dog to curse, "What, some dog dared to impersonate me?"

Wang Xiaoya said, "Indeed, he almost fooled Taihua. Fortunately, she’s clever enough to have saved the token."

Bald Dog barked, "Let me see him; I’ll teach him how to be a good dog next time."

Everyone laughed and clinked glasses together.

Chu Feng happily said, "This is great; with the token, we can safely go to the Ancient Heavenly Court."

Wuu De eagerly asked them, "How’s your research on this place? Is this planet what the legends say it is?"

Chu Feng’s expression turned serious, nodding, "Yes, this place has inheritances. The previous civilization left many good things, but we haven’t found the entrance yet."

Jin Wu said, "I’ve discovered something else: the script of the previous civilization is identical to our ancient Aurelius script. I suspect the people of Aurelius escaped from this planet. Or maybe the people of this planet are our ancestors from Aurelius?"

"There must be a connection!"

Long Fei agreed with Jin Wu because he had seen the parchment; the script was indeed related to Aurelius.

His Divine Sea was connected to the virtual world of Aurelius, where he ruled.

Any complex technological civilization program could be deciphered in the virtual world.

Xiao Ren asked, "So what’s your plan next?"

Chu Feng said, "We plan to connect to Sky City’s main system to seek information on ancient civilization. But the data processing center is heavily guarded, with powerful firepower and masters protecting it; we can’t get in for now. Now that you’re here, with the boss around, capturing this city shouldn’t be a problem."

"Capture it, then split the loot and the ladies!"

Wang Jie and others raised their glasses to celebrate.

Wuu De poured cold water on their spirits, "Don’t get too excited. We’ve heard a Celestial Venerable has taken an interest here. It’s best to wait and see."

"Celestial Venerable?"

Chu Feng and the others were wide-eyed.

Compared to Wuu De and Xiao Ren, they seemed like small-time hooligans facing an experienced thug, somewhat lacking.

Everyone understood the significance of a Celestial Venerable: a master of a star domain, at the legendary peak of the Mahayana Realm.

Due to the severed Immortal Path and earthly suppression, there’s no Immortal Tribulation.

These ancient monsters couldn’t take a step further, stuck in this state.

In this peak state, they’ve almost become immortals, wielding the primordial forces of heaven and earth.

Before them, humans are ants, and they reign supreme.

Robots carrying dishes brought delicious food to the table.

Each was a round little fellow, and their movements amused Wang Xiaoya, "These little guys are so cute."

They laughed without speaking seriously, aware that these devices had listening functions.

Within the soundproof barrier, you could hear everything.

After they left, Long Fei raised his glass and finally instructed, "Since we’re here, we might as well stay a few days. Let’s explore other places and observe the changes."

"Got it!"

"Listen to the boss!"

"..."

They laughed, nodded together, raised their glasses, and drank heartily.

Downstairs at the hotel, a woman in a local golden body nanotech suit passed an identity check and led a group of people inside.

Upon reaching the restaurant, she headed straight towards their table.
