Chapter 1536

Wu Xie had lived in Huping City for a long time, so he was very familiar with the place. As he stood in the sky, he could feel that the energy in Huping City was too dense.

After Wu Xie, the tall Man Shi walked out of the passage. After sensing the situation in Huping City, he frowned slightly.

Then, Dong Qing and Shangguan Hong appeared, followed by the twins.

Thirteen people left, and six returned. To Huping City, or even the entire Shuntian Prefecture, Huping City had the highest survival rate, which was close to 05%.

The six of them looked down at the crowd below. Although they dared not say that there were as many Domain realm cultivators as there were dogs, they were still everywhere. This was a world of difference from when they left. Everyone had a surprised look on their faces.

Before they could make their next move, streaks of light flickered in the direction of Hunter's Castle. All of the important figures in Huping City had appeared.

They stared at the six people in the sky, their faces filled with excitement and joy.

After the six people appeared, the passage behind them closed. After the passage was closed, the entire Huping City underwent an earth-shattering change.

The originally dense but turbulent vitality completely stabilized after the passage was closed. It completely merged with Huping City, becoming the vitality of the city.

"Huping City has risen to 70th place. Shuntian Prefecture is ranked 38rd."

A dignified voice resounded in the sky above Huping City, spreading throughout the entire city.

When Wu Xie and the others heard the dignified voice, the surprise on their faces grew. They were puzzled. The old man had clearly said that the ranking would only rise by 75 places. How did it become 70? Could it be that he had gifted them five places?

In Huping City, everyone cheered when they heard the dignified voice. The atmosphere in the city was boiling, and cheers rang out continuously.

City Lord Mu Feng, Lord Wu, and the other higher-ups almost cried tears of joy when they heard the dignified voice.

They had never expected that the 68-person team would actually raise Huping City's ranking by 70 places in this trip to the Shuntian Prefecture World.

With surging emotions and excitement, these people rose into the air, deciding to personally welcome the return of the little hero.

However, just as they rose into the air, they realized that something was wrong. There were only six people in the sky, and the most important person seemed to be missing.

Their expressions froze, and Ling Xing was even more confused. "Where's Zi Chen? Why don't we see him?"

When Wu Xie and the other five heard this, they all lowered their heads. Their mood became very low.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to Zi Chen?" Ling Xing asked again, the joy on his face gone.

Before they could answer, a black hole suddenly appeared in the sky. The black hole descended from the sky and covered the entire Huping City. A boundless might swept through Huping City.

The cultivators in Huping City were already very familiar with the black hole and its vast might.

In the past few years, the black hole had appeared several times. Each time it appeared, it would inject a lot of vitality into Huping City.

Now that the black hole had reappeared, it was clear that there was a chance of survival in everyone's hearts.

Ye Futian's ranking had already moved up to twenty-five, and he was now eighty-third. The rankings were already out, and the Manor Realm had also closed successfully. Why did the black hole appear again?

Unlike the others, Mu Feng, Lord Wu and the other higher-ups all had puzzled expressions on their faces, as well as some worry and unease.

This was because they had already heard about what had happened in other cities. The black hole that appeared in the sky did not necessarily inject vitality. It could also extract vitality.

In the past, whether the black hole appeared or not, no one was worried. However, the rankings were already set. Huping City was no longer one hundred and eighty-eighth, but eighty-third. No one wanted to experience the feeling of losing something after obtaining it.

The worry of Huping City's higher-ups was well-founded, but it was obviously unnecessary.

The previous rankings were obtained after Zi Chen led his people to destroy the other cities and obtain the vitality of Huping City. However, the black hole that appeared now was the old man fulfilling his promise to Zi Chen back then.

Waves of vitality surged out from the black hole. This vitality was denser than the vitality that had surged in previously. It was so viscous that it was like a real river pouring down on Huping City.

As the vitality surged, balls of golden light appeared from time to time.

When Lord Wu saw these light balls, his eyes immediately lit up with excitement. The others were also pleasantly surprised.

Based on their past experience, they knew that these light balls were inheritances. The inheritances of king-level techniques were also immortal inheritances.

Whether a force could rise or not depended on these golden light balls.

These golden light balls could determine the level of the technique based on the size of the passageway. The light balls that appeared this time were undoubtedly larger and brighter. After they appeared from the black hole, they all headed toward Hunter's Castle in Huping City.

Visually, there were dozens of light balls. They were all very large. Clearly, the inheritances were extraordinary.

Although they did not know why they were only given to Hunter's Castle this time, the higher-ups still had uncontrollable excitement on their faces.

In the entire Huping City, all the cultivators looked up at the sky. They looked at the vitality that was constantly pouring into the city with an intoxicated look on their faces.

As the vitality poured in, their minds became sharper and clearer. It was as if they were about to be enlightened.

The vitality continued to pour in, and the amount far exceeded the total of the previous times.

It was like pouring seawater, and it lasted for a full fifteen minutes.

After a quarter of an hour, the entire Huping City was silent. Only the sound of the surging energy and vitality could be heard.

The surprise of the higher-ups in Huping City had disappeared. It was replaced by shock.

This was because there was simply too much energy and vitality pouring in.

If they were not afraid of disturbing the energy pouring, they would definitely rush forward and ask Wu Xie and the others what they were doing in the Manor Realm.

After fifteen minutes, the black hole stopped pouring in energy and slowly dissipated.

In the sky, the majestic voice from before was heard again. "Huping City's leader, Zi Chen, has completed a special mission. Reward: 75th place. Shuntian Prefecture's Huping City is ranked 18rd."

The black hole disappeared, and the majestic voice dispersed. The entire Huping City was silent.

The higher-ups were dumbfounded. Their faces were filled with disbelief. The 38rd place just now was enough to surprise them. However, before they could sit firmly on the 38rd place, they had advanced by another 75 places. They had become 18rd.

Even in their dreams, they had never dared to dream of such a high ranking. They were afraid that they would fall too badly after they woke up.

In comparison, Wu Xie and the other five were not too surprised. They were the first to react and rushed to the higher-ups. Only then did the higher-ups react. They asked almost at the same time as Wu Xie, "What's going on?"

The higher-ups in Huping City wanted to know the answer. Wu Xie and the others were even more curious as to why Huping City's ranking had advanced by 70 places out of the blue.

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

Lord Wu's expression returned to normal. He led Wu Xie and the other five back to Hunter's Castle.

City Lord Lu Guang saw all of this with undisguised envy on his face. After going to the Manor Realm once, Ye Futian had risen from 653th place to 18rd place. This speed of advancement was like riding a rocket.

While feeling envious, he was also praying in his heart that Lu Guangcheng would be able to get a share of the spoils.

In the castle's guest hall, the group sat down. The first to ask questions was not Lord Wu and the others, but Wu Xie.

"What's going on? Why did the ranking advance by 70 places for no reason?"

Everyone laughed heartily when they heard Wu Xie's question. Lord Wu did not answer. Instead, he asked, "I was just about to ask you guys this question. What did you guys do in the Manor Realm?"

Wu Xie was stunned. He did not understand. He spread his hands and said, "Other than looking for resources and improving our cultivation level, we did nothing else."

The higher-ups finally noticed the cultivation level of Wu Xie and the other five. They nodded in satisfaction and said, "All of you have entered the Domain Realm. Not bad, not bad at all."

The six of them were all at the peak of the first-stage Domain Realm.

There were Domain Realm cultivators everywhere in the Manor Realm. Wu Xie and the others had seen and killed many of them, so they did not feel too proud at the moment.

Returning to the previous question about the ranking, Lord Wu looked at them and asked, "Have you guys met anyone from Sibei City?"

They had received accurate information that Sibei City's vitality was fading.

"We met them in Sibei City. They were about to kill Lu Guangcheng's people when we ran into them. They went too far, so we killed them all in a fit of anger," Wu Xie said truthfully.

A gratified smile appeared on the faces of the higher-ups. Sir Wu then asked, "What about Yan Bo City?"

Wu Xie said, "We killed them too. They were the ones who ordered the people from Sibei City to attack. Before we left, Zi Chen said that he would not rest until the people from Yanbo Castle were dead. We saw them, so we killed them all. What's wrong with that?"

Everything was within his expectations. Lord Wu asked in the end, "Apart from these two cities, which other factions have you fought?"

The black hole had appeared several times, so there were naturally more than two cities.

Wu Xie thought carefully and said, "If we count carefully, apart from Hidden Fog City, Shuntian City, and Destiny City, we've fought more than a hundred other cities."

"What? You've fought more than a hundred cities?" Lord Wu was shocked. The teacup beside him fell to the ground and shattered.

The other higher-ups were stunned as well.

"Yes, we've fought all of them, but we haven't really become enemies." Wu Xie nodded.

Wu Xie's words shocked them. Lord Wu did not beat around the bush and said directly, "There's a rule in the Manor Realm. If all the cultivators in a city are killed, that city's ranking will drop, and the city that kills the cultivators of that city will increase its ranking."

Realization dawned on them. Wu Xie said, "No wonder we've destroyed Sibei City, Yanbo Castle, Myriad Origin City, Miao Dongcheng, and Liuzongcheng. It's understandable that we've advanced twenty-five places."
