Chapter 690: Wanted!
Chapter 690: Wanted!
"The Saint Martial Assembly is a grand event in the Central Region that all major forces, including independent cultivators, participate in. Everyone wants to take part in this grand event, even if they can't achieve a good ranking. It's a chance for growth. Although there is an age restriction for participating in the Saint Martial Assembly, based on past numbers, there are usually three to five million participants," Xi Wuqing informed Su Yi.
"Three to five million participants..." Su Yi gasped. Just the younger generation participating in the Saint Martial Assembly amounted to three to five million people. It was quite astonishing.
After careful consideration, Su Yi realized that although the Saint Martial Assembly had age restrictions, the Central Region as a whole was enormous. It was a grand event for the entire Central Region, so it wasn't surprising to have so many participants.
But Su Yi couldn't help but marvel at the enormity of this grand event. With millions of participants, it would be a tremendous undertaking and a huge test for the city.
"All those who enter the city, please follow the order and come to have your qualifications and registration checked if you want to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly. The formal start of the assembly will take place three days from now, and registration will be closed in advance. Without the qualification check and registration, no one will be able to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly!"
There were powerful figures in armor, their aura strong and their voices loud enough for the densely packed people outside the city to hear clearly.
"Do we have to go for registration and qualification check first?" Su Yi asked Xi Wuqing, still not quite understanding as it was his first time participating in the Saint Martial Assembly.
"Of course, we must go for registration and qualification check first, otherwise we won't be able to participate," Xi Wuqing nodded and replied.
"Hmph..."
Suddenly, from the depths of the majestic Central Region city in the distance, a streak of light flashed through the sky like lightning, and a powerful aura immediately surrounded the empty space.The people present couldn't help but feel a bit startled by the overwhelming aura, and their inner energy was affected.
It was an old man in his fifties, who had rushed out from the Central Region city. He stood in the air, his eyes shining brightly as he looked down at the densely packed figures below. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, full of fierceness.
Upon seeing the old man in his fifties, all the strong warriors present, wearing armor and emanating a powerful aura, immediately bowed and showed their respect. Their eyes were filled with awe and reverence.
"Listen, everyone! The Central Region city is searching for three individuals. One is a young person, around eighteen or nineteen years old, named Yi Su from the Overlord Sect. Then, there's the Demon Emperor and the Yuan Emperor. If anyone sees them, inform the city guards. There will be a handsome reward. Anyone who dares to hide them will face the consequences!"
The sound echoed with power, like a thunderclap, deafening to the ears. The old man was clearly a powerful Yuan Emperor Realm expert, not an ordinary one.
"A wanted Yuan Emperor and the Demon Emperor!"
"Yi Su from the Overlord Sect?"
As the sound reached everyone's ears, they were bewildered. How could a Yuan Emperor and the Demon Emperor be wanted? What on earth had happened?
"Boss, is it you they're looking for?" Su Xiaoshuai asked weakly, poking his head out from Su Yi's embrace.
"Of course it's me," Su Yi's expression immediately soured. It was clear that the incident involving Ouyang Mingjie had caused this. He had only used the name of the Overlord Sect once.
To be wanted by the Central Region city, Su Yi had to figure out the connection between Ouyang Mingjie and the city.
"Swoosh, swoosh..."
A group of strong warriors in armor quickly searched through the crowd, their eyes sharp like lightning. Hu Bu, walking with a powerful stride, showed great discipline and seemed to have undergone rigorous training. Each one of them possessed strong abilities.
"Hurry, let's leave here first," said Xi Wuqing to Su Yi. His voice reached Su Yi's ears, but Xi Wuqing had already disappeared without a trace.
"Let's go," said Su Yi quietly, keeping his head down as he walked through the crowd.
They were searching for three people: a young boy, a powerful warrior from the Yuan Emperor Realm, and a powerful warrior from the Demonic Emperor Realm. There were tens of thousands of people just outside the city gate, so finding Su Yi and the others was not an easy task. It felt like finding a needle in a haystack, especially with the increasing number of people coming to Central Region city.
However, Su Yi didn't dare to be careless. He and Xi Wuqing, along with the Green Emperor, immediately hid in a corner near the city wall. There were no people around, as it was a secluded area.
"This is trouble," Su Yi said, feeling worried.
Su Yi raised an eyebrow when he found out that he was being hunted by the authorities in Central Region. But the problem was, the Saint Martial Assembly was happening right there in Central Region. How could he participate now?
"It's your own fault!" Xi Wuqing scolded Su Yi.
"But you also took action," Su Yi retorted.
"Fine, I won't interfere next time," Xi Wuqing said calmly, glancing at Su Yi.
"Please, older brother, it was my mistake. But that Ouyang Mingjie was too arrogant and went too far," Su Yi pleaded.
Su Yi immediately calmed down and looked at Xi Wuqing, asking, "What should we do now? With this situation, it seems like we won't be able to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly."
"I just remembered that the ruler of the city in the Central Region is named Ouyang Yuanfeng. Judging by Ouyang Mingjie's age, he is most likely Ouyang Yuanfeng's son or grandson. The Central Region city is under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Mountain, and for Ouyang Yuanfeng to become the ruler of the Central Region city, he must have a special status in Sacred Mountain. That's why you are being wanted by the Central Region city for injuring Ouyang Mingjie."
Xi Wuqing's expression changed when Ouyang Yuanfeng was mentioned, showing some fear. Being able to become the ruler of the number one city in the Central Region, Ouyang Yuanfeng's strength is beyond doubt.
"It's okay, I can just change my appearance and continue participating in the Saint Martial Assembly."
After pondering for a while, Su Yi's expression relaxed a lot. With the ability to change his appearance, he believed he could continue participating in the Saint Martial Assembly without being discovered by the people in the Central Region city.
"Do you think it's as simple as you say? When you made a move earlier, it was definitely noticed by the strong individuals present. It's highly possible that you will be recognized from the slightest clue, making the trouble even greater."
Xi Wuqing shook his head. It was not a big problem to change his appearance with his disguising skills. However, when Su Yi attacked Ouyang Mingjie, there were strong individuals from the Yuan Void Realm and Yuan Emperor Realm present. They noticed Su Yi's moves and if those strong individuals were to guess his identity based on the slightest clues, the consequences would be even more troublesome.
"What should we do then? Are we not going to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly?" Su Yi frowned. Initially, he had never planned to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly. It was only because of Xi Wuqing's condition that he agreed. But now, as they approached Central Region, he could feel the atmosphere of this grand event, where talented individuals gathered, and the peak of the younger generation assembled. Being a young person filled with energy, he couldn't help but feel the desire to compete.
"If you want to give up, then there's no problem. If you don't want to participate, I won't participate either in your so-called Overlord Sect," Xi Wuqing said calmly.
