Chapter 977: Heavenly Dao

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The other outsiders glanced at the county magistrate and the Constables, then at Chen Fei. They realized that the Constables hadn’t taken any action but were merely watching Chen Fei coldly as he did everything.

Thus, the only way to handle this ma.s.sacre effectively was to eliminate all the patients.

Without patients, there was no issue of whether or not they were treated or treated well, effectively cutting off the county office’s reason to create trouble from the source.

In the outside world, such a method of handling things would be impossible.

However, this was a different city, operating under some special rules. Many things here contradicted common sense—or rather, common sense did not apply here at all.

“Your Honor, there are no patients to treat!”

Chen Fei sheathed his Qianyuan Sword, turned to the county magistrate, and cupped his hands.

“It’s a pity they died before they could be treated. We’ll have to notify their families to come claim the bodies,” the magistrate said, his smile long gone, shaking his head slightly.

“It’s indeed a pity,” Chen Fei agreed, nodding.

“Since there are no patients, you may all disperse,” the magistrate waved his hand and left the courtyard.

The moment the magistrate finished speaking, Chen Fei rushed out of the county office.

The commotion in the courtyard was dealt with directly by Chen Fei, but this was not the most correct way to handle it; it was merely a temporary measure.

There should be other, better ways to resolve the situation, but Chen Fei couldn’t see them within such a short time.

Chen Fei’s approach seemed to have cut off the source of the problem, but there would likely be follow-up issues.

In this city, once you entered, you were not expected to leave.

The deathly atmosphere Chen Fei had observed before and the response just now were all different methods the city used to handle different people.

Having obtained the Primordial Crystal and even a Rule Crystal, Chen Fei knew he had to leave as soon as possible to convert these resources into his own strength.

“It’s him! He killed Gu Jie and the others. Gu Jie and the others could have been saved, but now he has to pay for their deaths!”

As soon as Chen Fei stepped out of the county office, a loud shout erupted nearby. Dozens of Gla.s.s Clan members blocked his path, filled with hatred.

Chen Fei frowned. As expected, trouble was brewing. His direct method of dealing with the patients had led to this subsequent issue.

Of course, Chen Fei’s purchase of that potted plant might have also triggered additional changes in the city.

In this city, the longer you stayed, the more dangerous it became.

Not only was there the deathly atmosphere but also an unclear connection, a connection with the city itself.

This connection locked you to the city and might ultimately a.s.similate you into it.

Besides this danger, the more you took from the city, the greater the risk. The recent events in the courtyard were targeted specifically at Chen Fei.

The city had always wanted to eliminate Chen Fei. Now that Chen Fei had taken a Rule Crystal, he had to be treated as the number one target.

However, seeing the Rule Crystal so close, Chen Fei wasn’t about to leave without it; that wasn’t his style!

“Kill him! Kill him!” The cold killing intent surged, making the entire world seem to disappear.

Chen Fei remained calm, ignoring the mental a.s.sault. With a wave of his hand, a drop of blood from the corner flew back into his body.

Chen Fei took a turn and headed toward the city gate from another direction.

“Stop him!”

“Report to the authorities, have the county office capture him!”

Piercing shouts rang behind Chen Fei. He pushed his speed to the limit, gradually putting distance between himself and the Gla.s.s Clan members.

But before Chen Fei could even see the city gate, he sensed the distinctive aura of the Constables.

Not only the Constables but also the auras of the dozen or so Gla.s.s Clan members appeared around him.

Given Chen Fei’s displayed speed and the realms of these Gla.s.s Clan members and Constables, he should be able to shake them off.

But this city was not a real world. Here, even if your speed was faster, other methods could be used to negate those differences.

“Stop right there! Take one more step and you will be killed!” The Courthouse runner’s commanding voice came, bringing a chilling, oppressive force upon Chen Fei.

Chen Fei turned a deaf ear and continued running toward the city gate.

“Kill!”

The harsh command seemed to resonate through the heavens, as a fierce blade light from behind enveloped Chen Fei.

The blade intent was like the sky, a net that was vast and impervious. Under this blade light, no matter how you dodged, you could not escape.

In this city, the Constables, in some respects, represented the heavenly principles of this small world.

Acting on behalf of the heavens, they questioned how one would respond!

How should Chen Fei respond? By directly resisting!

If it were the Heavenly Dao of the Return to Nothing Realm, Chen Fei would indeed have no way to deal with it.

Even if it were the Heavenly Dao of the entire Gla.s.s s.p.a.ce, Chen Fei’s means of dealing with it would be extremely limited.

But in this strange city, though powerful, it wasn’t to the extent that Chen Fei would be helplessly slaughtered.

“Boom!”

The overwhelming blade light collided with the Qianyuan Sword, causing only a slight ripple on Chen Fei’s protective s.h.i.+eld before it stabilized.

With the power of the late-stage Sun Moon Realm and Chen Fei’s current combat strength, even without using Soul Dissolution, he could handle the defense with ease.

Chen Fei even used the force of the blade light to propel himself at an even faster speed toward the city gate.

The enormous explosion startled all the foreign races within the city. Only the Gla.s.s Clan, as usual, continued their operations as if they hadn’t heard the sound.

“Why is a human being chased by the Constables? What’s happening?”

All the foreign races watched from afar, their eyes filled with astonishment.

For the violent Constables, the first thing every foreign race avoided upon arriving was that location; no one had the audacity to test their luck.

“There are not only the Constables but also dozens of mid-stage Sun Moon Realm Gla.s.s Clan members pursuing him,” a foreigner whispered.

From afar, dozens of Gla.s.s Clan members encircled the buildings. Though they hadn’t made a move yet, their oppressive aura alone was enough to chill one to the bone.

Dealing with one late-stage Sun Moon Realm opponent was already difficult, and most mid-stage Sun Moon Realm foreigners would be unable to handle even one Courthouse runner within ten moves.

With the added suppression of strange city, many times a single move would resolve everything.

Now, with dozens of mid-stage Sun Moon Realm Gla.s.s Clan members surrounding him, the scene was enough to instill despair.

Because it was an inescapable and certain death trap!

The foreigners who had been in the county office’s courtyard before looked at the scene before them and suddenly felt a sense of relief. They were glad it wasn’t them whom the magistrate had called.

Even if they had managed to escape the trials of the courtyard, being pursued by these dozens of mid-stage Sun Moon Realm members would have meant certain death.

“It’s our human race.”

Feng Haijie and his companions appeared in the distance and saw the scene afar, but no one thought of going to help.

The scene was too terrifying; their a.s.sistance would be futile.

“It seems he broke some rule of the strange city. I tried to have him follow me before, but he insisted on acting alone. If he had agreed, he wouldn’t be in this situation now,” Feng Haijie shook his head.

“Everyone has their own fate; you can’t force it,” a mid-stage Sun Moon Realm individual said.

“Hmm, the technique he’s using is Eternal Night Chant? Its power is impressive!” someone suddenly said in a low voice.

As Chen Fei blocked the Courthouse runner’s blade light, a black light enveloped him completely, making it seem as if the entire sky of the strange city was descending into darkness.

But in the blink of an eye, this celestial phenomenon was directly cut away by the strange city.

The power of the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword wasn’t enough to distort the rules of the strange city. Only a Rule Integration Realm expert could force such changes.

“It’s not purely Eternal Night Chant; it seems to incorporate other techniques,” someone else said, shaking their head.

With the Qianyuan Mansion open, many Sun Moon Realm pract.i.tioners had already exchanged for the Emperor’s legacy, allowing them to recognize the origins of many techniques at a glance.

Feng Haijie looked into the distance, feeling that the technique being used seemed familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen it before.

Normally, a Sun Moon Realm memory could recall even events from a thousand years ago with clarity, but Feng Haijie now found himself unable to remember.

A sudden surge of fear gripped Feng Haijie. He realized he seemed to have forgotten many things, something that should not happen even in the Sun Moon Realm, let alone the Mountain and Sea realm.

As Feng Haijie began to recall past events, he found many memories becoming increasingly blurred.

Previously, Feng Haijie had never considered this or had subconsciously ignored such abnormalities. It was only upon seeing the scene in the distance that he realized something was wrong.

“Get out of here! Something’s not right. Let’s go!” Feng Haijie urged, rus.h.i.+ng toward the city gate.

The other mid-stage Sun Moon Realm humans looked at Feng Haijie with confusion. It wasn’t until Feng Haijie voiced his concerns that they were startled.

They too had noticed their memories becoming blurred.

The longer they stayed in the strange city, the more p.r.o.nounced the blurring of their past memories became.

Realizing this, they understood that their situation was dire. Their recent peace in the strange city wasn’t due to finding a way to survive but rather the strange city gradually cooking them like frogs in warm water, planning to boil them alive.

Feng Haijie and the others hurried toward the city gate. Despite not being obstructed, they quickly saw the gate.

But no matter how they advanced, the distance to the gate never changed.

On the other side, after taking three blows from the Constables, Chen Fei also saw the city gate. However, he soon realized that the distance to the gate was fixed.

No matter how he moved forward, the gate remained perpetually distant, unable to be reached.
