The city wall was not that high when compared to the walls that human factions scattered all over the Earth built for the sole purpose of protecting themselves from other enemies be they humans or mutant beasts.
Stretching for what seemed to be over 120 kilometers and with a height of approximately 200-250 meters at most, the all-white wall not only looked elegant but even exuded a sort of transcendental aura with its presence.
"Hero City's protective veil will be held open for 2 minutes. Everyone who is already ready should move and those who aren't had better finish whatever it is they have to do as soon as possible." Angel Sonnata said in a deep voice as he watched the huge city with shining eyes, "To emphasize, Hero City is the core of Sky City so its shape is round. Remember that everyone has only forty-eight hours before being expelled so every second there counts; don't waste time!"
Bang! Corruption Demon Shun certainly wasn't in the mood for chit-chat. He didn't even care about his team's opinions nor did he bother with waiting for anyone as he immediately kicked the water bubble under his feet and dashed towards the city faster than lightning.
"We're on our way too." Bai Zemin's eyes glittered mystically as he saw Corruption Demon Shun's body disappearing as he entered 100 meters away from the white wall. He looked at the women of the team and reminded them, "Regroup as soon as possible, ignore the treasures! We'll have time for that when we're together."
Seeing everyone nod, Bai Zemin exchanged glances with Saint of the Absolute Felix: "I'll count on you there."
"...And I will trust you." Felix smiled bitterly but still nodded.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't attack my ally." Bai Zemin knew the reason behind Felix's caution and fear as he had exposed one of his trump cards the night before. His voice was serious as he said, "At least for now, you and I are in alliance."
Saint of the Absolute Felix took a deep breath before nodding with determination, "Very well."
Soon, the group moved as well. In fact, as they exchanged words most of those present had already moved so they were among the last to head to Hero City.
Sonnata looked at Lilith and Fire Sorrow who were staring at him with eyes thick with warning. He immediately felt every hair on his body stand on end and after saying something to the East Sea King he left without looking back.
What a joke! Although he might be very proud in front of Lower Existences, soul evolvers below the Fifth Order, Sonnata knew that in front of the two women of the Demonic Army before him he was no different than a soap bubble; he would burst with a single touch!
East Sea King bowed deeply and did not dare to look at the two demonesses in front of him. The mermaid race's sense of beauty was not much different from that of humans, so in the King's eyes, Lilith and Fire Sorrow were beauties capable of stealing his heart with a single smile.
"Two esteemed Higher Existences, this little one will stay here to stand guard personally so you both can rest assured if you so wish."
The female from the Dragon God Realm wore a silver-colored mask on her face, which greatly suppressed her beauty. She looked at Lilith and Fire Sorrow with her bright green eyes, and after a few seconds began to move away.
"... Fire Sorrow, I'm going after that woman." Lilith frowned slightly as she stared at the female dragon's back farther and farther away.
She simply couldn't push away the bad feeling she had. Fire Sorrow nodded and glanced slightly at the East Sea King before looking back towards Hero City. The city was slowly disappearing like a ghost town.
"I'll stay here to make sure no one plays dirty tricks."
"With you here I can feel at ease, beautiful lady with the greatest magical talent in the universe." Lilith smiled faintly before disappearing.
Fire Sorrow muttered something to herself that no one heard.
East Sea King smiled bitterly in his heart. Although it didn't feel good to be ignored, what else was he capable of doing besides swallowing the grievance? Although he was a King recognized by the Soul Record, in front of Higher Existences he was no different from an ant unworthy of a second glance.
... Bai Zemin felt his body being pulled into a different space as he stepped through the curtain of Hero City.
It was a much weaker feeling than when he used the teleportation circles in the runes of the Five Silver Pagodas or when he teleported into the Sky Destroyer not to mention when Bai Zemin crossed the portal between worlds to reach Eventide World.
'The mana contorts space first, forming wrinkles in that thin invisible web. Each wrinkle means a possible destination, and to get to a desired location-'
Bai Zemin's focus broke as the feeling disappeared, and as he opened his eyes he realized he was inside the city.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, 'Now that I managed to weakly open the universal spatial law door I can finally understand a little bit of that strange feeling every time I teleport. It's a pity that each teleportation lasts less than an instant though. I can't appreciate the feeling too well.'
Only when crossing portals between worlds would teleportation take 1 or 2 seconds depending on the distance between galaxies. Unfortunately, world teleportation skills are extremely rare and valuable.
There was no way Bai Zemin would use the power of his Irregular title for something like this; this was one of his life-saving cards after all.
What appeared before Bai Zemin's eyes astonished him, to say the least.
Towering buildings, extremely luxurious houses, streets paved by what looked like normal cement but definitely wasn't, mana-functional magic energy street lamps on both sides of the road... Every detail of the city in front of Bai Zemin could only be described with the word perfect for lack of words in the dictionary.
Even the air was so much purer, and the small colorful plants that could be found every 20 meters looked lush and extremely beautiful.
"Wow..."
Bai Zemin jumped in fright when he heard a tiny voice behind him, but when he turned around he couldn't help but wonder at how lucky they were this time.
There, less than five steps away, a black-haired beauty was raising her little head to look at the amazing architectural details of the tall buildings. Her pale green magic robe with gold engravings was clearly not designed to look seductive, but the back curve of the little beauty was so appealing that it could not be contained at all.
Upon seeing this beautiful woman, Bai Zemin understood why he felt no discomfort, as well as the reason why he did not notice her existence until she exclaimed in surprise.
Even if her back was turned, it was impossible for him not to recognize her.
Bai Zemin felt like a naughty child and although he knew it was not the time he could not suppress the thought that was beginning to bloom more strongly in his head.
Wu Yijun was truly amazed by the sight before her.
This was by far the most beautiful city she had ever seen in her entire life. Not even big cities like Shanghai, Beijing, New York, or Paris were able to compare to the city before her eyes. In fact, she felt extremely comfortable and every time she breathed the pure air of this place she felt her heart calmed down.
If it wasn't for the fact that she knew it wasn't possible, Wu Yijun would really want to find a bed to sleep with a smile on her face.
A few seconds later and when she felt she had better start moving, Wu Yijun's expression suddenly changed.
A purple almost black colored seed appeared in her hand, and with a single thought a large amount of shining purple mist burst outward with her as its center.
Bai Zemin was dumbfounded as he was about to touch her shoulder. He had intended to scare her a little but didn't expect to be caught so suddenly, and by the time he realized what was happening he had already been engulfed by the purple mist.
