<h4>Chapter 1540: Chapter 1538: Expelled from the City</h4>
Han Hexiang remained entirely unmoved, his lips slightly curved into a confident smile.
Seeing this, Liu Yuansong felt a surge of unease.
In his view, Han Hexiang had just undergone a fierce battle with Shadow.
Logically, Han Hexiang should be extremely weakened at this moment.
But why did he appear so confident?
Where did this confidence originate from?
Though puzzled, he quickly suppressed this emotion.
In his eyes, he was the strongest under the Immortal King, and even if Han Hexiang was powerful, he couldn’t be his match.
The two instantly resumed their battle, their figures intertwining like lightning in the sky.
Han Hexiang wielded the dark red Immortal Sword in his hand with imprable precision, the sword momentum incredibly fierce, each strike of Sword Qi seeming to cut through space.
Liu Yuansong countered continuously with his uncanny movement technique and powerful Palm Force, the battle between them fierce and intense.
Time passed second by second, and they had already shed in over a thousand rounds.
Liu Yuansong gradually discovered that Han Hexiang’s strength far exceeded his imagination, and he was astonishingly unable to gain the upper hand.
At this moment.
The unease in his heart grew stronger.
Just then, Liu Yuansong suddenly thought of the City Protection Array of the Underground City, which brought a gleam of joy and fiery determination to his eyes.
This array was strong in both offense and defense, extremely powerful.
If he could leverage this Grand Array, he was sure he could defeat Han Hexiang.
A glint of ruthlessness shed in Liu Yuansong’s eyes as he resolved to take the risk and try.
He flickered away from the battle with Han Hexiang, then soared into the sky, his hands quickly forming Hand Seals.
With his actions, the City Protection Array of the Underground City began to slowly activate.
As the City Protection Array activated, a powerful force enveloped the entire Underground City.
The clouds in the sky became even more oppressive, and the thunder and lightning were denser.
The people on the ground sensed this overwhelming force, their hearts filled with fear.
Even Xu Wendong felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
The strength of this formation far exceeded his imagination, its power not something ordinary people could withstand.
In contrast, Wang Tong, Zhen Jing, and others wore crazy smiles on their faces.
To them.
The moment Liu Yuansong appeared, the fate of Xu Wendong and the others was sealed.
Even Han Hexiang, the Daluo Golden Immortal, would die and vanish into the Dao.
Watching Liu Yuansong activate the City Protection Array, Han Hexiang also felt a heavy surge in his heart.
He knew that the power of this Grand Array was immense, and if Liu Yuansong sessfully controlled it, he would be in great danger.
However.
He had never imagined that Liu Yuansong would actually use this formation against him.
"Liu Yuansong, you dare to activate the City Protection Array, aren’t you afraid of inciting the wrath of the Immortal King?" Han Hexiang was thoroughly enraged.
Si Yao’s delicate face was also covered in frost: "Liu Yuansong, you have once again refreshed my understanding, I never thought you would be such a sinister and despicable person, for your selfish gains, not only killing indiscriminately but also using the City Protection Array!"
"This exists to protect the people of the Underground City; how can it be your aplice in murder?"
She was part of the Array Formation Hall, and Liu Yuansong was her superior.
She had respected Liu Yuansong before, but never imagined he would be so deceitful and shameless.
Using any means necessary to achieve his goals.
Yet Liu Yuansong sneered: "As long as I can eliminate you traitors, everything is worth it. The Lord Immortal King would surely understand my actions if he knew."
With that, Liu Yuansong intensified his control over the City Protection Array.
The energy within the Grand Array gathered continuously, forming a massive beam of light, shooting toward Han Hexiang.
Feeling the immense power of the beam, Han Hexiang dared not ck off and quickly raised the Immortal Sword in his hand to defend.
However, the power of that beam was just too overwhelming.
Even though Han Hexiang exerted his utmost strength, he still couldn’tpletely fend it off.
Under the impact of the beam, his body kept retreating, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Han Hexiang understood in his heart that he might not be able to withstand the attack of the City Protection Array.
But he was unwilling to fail just like this, even more, unwilling for Xu Wendong and others to fall into a desperate situation.
In this life-and-death moment, a resolute glint shed in Han Hexiang’s eyes.
"Liu Yuansong, if you dare continue attacking, I will self-destruct my soul!" Han Hexiang roared loudly, "At that time, the City Protection Array will definitely copse, and the Otherworldly Demons on the ground will sense themotion here."
"Once the Otherworldly Demons invade, the people of the Underground City will face immense disaster; they will all be buried with us!"
Upon hearing Han Hexiang’s threat, Liu Yuansong’s heart trembled violently.
He knew that with Han Hexiang as a Daluo Golden Immortal, the power of a soul self-destruction would be exceedingly terrifying.
If such a situation really urred, the City Protection Array might indeed copse, and the Otherworldly Demons on the ground could very well be attracted here.
At that time, the people of the Underground City would face an existential crisis.
Liu Yuansong’s face became exceedingly grim, caught in a dilemma.
On one hand, he longed to eliminate Han Hexiang and Xu Wendong to consolidate his power.
On the other hand, he couldn’t disregard the safety of the Underground City’s popce.
After a fierce struggle of thoughts, Liu Yuansong finally chose topromise.
"Han Hexiang, consider yourself ruthless!" Liu Yuansong said through clenched teeth, "Today, I’ll let you off, but Xu Wendong is a jinx, and he cannot stay in the city!"
"Drive him out!"
"He is a jinx and must not continue to stay in the city!"
"Yes, drive him out!"
The crowd of onlookers erupted in shouts.
Although they all desired to blood-sacrifice Xu Wendong, Han Hexiang’s threat couldn’t be underestimated.
The best solution was to drive Xu Wendong out.
Wang Tong and Zhen Jing’s eyes also revealed chilling coldness.
They assumed Liu Yuansong’s appearance would result in Xu Wendong’s execution, but no one expected he’d be exiled from the city.
It was indeed frustrating!
"You..." Han Hexiang gritted his teeth in anger, never expecting Liu Yuansong to actually banish Xu Wendong from the Underground City.
Knowing well that Otherworldly Demons roamed the surface, once leaving this ce, it would surely be a path of certain death.
At this moment.
Xu Wendong’s voice rang out: "Master, the people here are ignorant and foolish. Rather than living in this dark ce, it’s better to venture out!"
"Though the surface is extremely dangerous, even if I die and vanish into the Dao, I would rather die honorably than worry about falling into the schemes of our own kind."
Si Yao’s eyes emitted a resolute glow: "Well said, I am willing to leave this ce with Senior Han and Young Master Xu."
Initially, she had no favorable impression of Xu Wendong.
But now.
She waspletely disillusioned with the Underground City.
Unwilling to associate with them.
"We are also willing to leave!" Lu Shuling and others spoke up in unison, their attitudes very clear.
Zhen Jing eyed Song Ziwei nervously, unable to resist saying: "Madam, surely you won’t leave with them, will you?"
