Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 239 - 30: Qili City? Seven Mile Fragrance! Phoenix Soaring City, Dongshan Li!
Chapter 239: Chapter 30: Qili City? Seven Mile Fragrance! Phoenix Soaring City, Dongshan Li!
Z99 Planet.
Zone 80.
The Sky City blotted out the sun as it cast a massive shadow, completely enveloping the Level 8 Shelter City—Qili City.
“Th-That is…”
The tens of millions of subordinates in Qili City were all choked with fear, unable to speak.
Their eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
Before Dawn City arrived,
they had always considered themselves one of the planet’s top ten shelter cities.
But now?
Looking up at the Sky City above their heads, and at the countless Evolvers—numbering in the hundreds of millions—standing beneath it, exuding overwhelming auras,
an intense feeling of being as insignificant as ants crawled into everyone’s hearts.
Whoosh—
Whoosh, whoosh——!
Inside Qili City,
figure after figure shot up into the sky.
Almost all of them were Tier Seven and Tier Eight Evolvers.
Nearly a hundred people appeared behind Sakagawa Yu.
“Lord City Lord?”
Their voices brimmed with unease and nervousness.
The scene before their eyes felt anything but friendly.
They weren’t sure if their City Lord even knew the origins of this Sky City.
As the questions fell,
for a long while, Sakagawa Yu didn’t respond.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts for no apparent reason.
They looked up again at the billions of figures, their gazes especially lingering on the ones standing at the very front.
Those few people—no, more than a dozen—
Even at a distance, their auras were in no way weaker than their own Tier Nine City Lord!
More than a dozen Tier Nine Evolvers?
All the Tier Nine Evolvers on Z99 Planet added together probably don’t even amount to that many…
“No need to panic.”
Sakagawa Yu finally spoke in a low, solemn voice.
As the Qili City Lord, he still tried to maintain his composure at this moment.
Sakagawa Yu took a deep breath, looking up at the youth hovering at the very front, gazing down on him and the city.
The youth’s eyes were utterly cold and indifferent.
Truth be told,
ever since Sakagawa Yu broke through to Tier Nine, it had been many years since anyone looked at him like this.
But…
Endure—it must be endured!
To his Tier Seven and Tier Eight subordinates, that youth seemed like a Tier Nine.
But in reality?
In Sakagawa Yu’s eyes, that youth’s aura was on a completely different level from Tier Nine!
Above Tier Nine?
This was far beyond Sakagawa Yu’s field of knowledge, but it wasn’t the time to think about that.
“Follow me!”
Sakagawa Yu gave a crisp command without looking back.
With that, he himself moved, flying up toward Yu Jin and the others high above in the Celestial Vault.
“This…”
The Tier Seven and Tier Eight Evolvers all hesitated for a moment, but they gritted their teeth and followed Sakagawa Yu despite their fear.
In the sky,
Yu Jin watched Sakagawa Yu and company approach and raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Oh?”
“Not only are they not backing down, they’re actually coming to meet us head-on?”
It was worth noting,
Yu Jin was intentionally releasing just a trace of his Tier Sixteen Evolver aura at the moment.
Beside Yu Jin,
Yin Ya Naiya and the others also wore somewhat surprised expressions.
“A real warrior?”
Chen Gang let out a sinister laugh, playing the role of a villain’s sidekick to perfection.
Whoosh, whoosh—
The sound of them breaking through the air drew near.
But Yu Jin and his company just stood calmly in midair, watching.
Until…
Sakagawa Yu and his subordinates flew to within a hundred meters before Yu Jin.
At that distance, for High-tier Evolvers, it was effectively face-to-face.
At that moment,
as the gap closed, Sakagawa Yu and his subordinates’ hearts pounded even faster.
“L-Lord!”
A shout broke the silence in the sky.
The one who spoke was Sakagawa Yu.
With those words,
his subordinates were stunned for a moment, then they all let out a collective sigh of relief!
Yu Jin, on the other hand, wore a faint smile.
“At least he knows which side to be on,” he murmured.
Naiya made a few lazy hums, delivering a casual comment.
Such an attitude only made Sakagawa Yu and his men feel even more bitter inside.
But…
Bitter or not,
when under someone else’s eaves, one has no choice but to bow his head.
Seeing that Yu Jin didn’t respond to his words just now, Sakagawa Yu took a breath and spoke again:
“My lord!”
“I am Sakagawa Yu, Tier Nine City Lord of Qili City.”
“Forgive us for failing to welcome you properly upon your arrival!”
“If there is anything Qili City can do to help you, just say the word—Sakagawa Yu will do it, even if it means going through fire and water!”
“If there is any misunderstanding between us and you, I ask only for the chance to explain myself!”
His words were humble, his tone respectful.
If Yu Jin and his group were merely passing through, this would actually give him a way out.
But…
Unfortunately,
Yu Jin and those from Dawn City had come to collect a debt.
“Sakagawa Yu!”
A shout came from behind Yu Jin.
The figure of Yu Chen stepped forward slowly.
He stared at Sakagawa Yu, his eyes blazing with anger and hatred.
Today’s city crisis—if not for Yu Jin’s timely arrival, he’d have lost not just his life but his city as well!
And the one behind all this was none other than the Qili City Lord before him.
“Huh?”
Sakagawa Yu, who’d been lowering his head, jerked it up at the voice in confusion.
He looked at Yu Chen, his eyes full of doubt.
“You are…?”
Sakagawa Yu had never met Yu Chen.
Of course, Yu Chen hadn’t really met Sakagawa Yu either; he’d only identified him based on the current situation and Sakagawa Yu’s own introduction just now.
“Me?”
Yu Chen sneered coldly.
“Weren’t you the one who sent an army to kill me this morning?”
Sakagawa Yu’s pupils contracted sharply.
He instinctively took two steps back.
“Yu Chen?!”
Sakagawa Yu called out the name.
And the faces of all his subordinates behind him changed instantly!
Yu Chen?
Wasn’t that the new rising star from Zone 99—the young man whom their own City Lord had tried to kill for his Crystal?
Shit!
This is truly bad now!
“My lord!”
Sakagawa Yu was indeed worthy of being a Tier Nine City Lord.
Even as his subordinates were scared out of their wits, faces pale,
he turned to Yu Jin, hurriedly trying to explain:
“My lord!”
“There must be some misunderstanding here!”
