C966 Towers of Clouds
In the vast and boundless sky, the Divine Wind Hall's unique flying machine, Iron Roc, was steadily flying in the air. It penetrated through layers of cloud and mist as it headed towards the northern part of the empire, Night Mo City.
In a distant place, this was yet another beginning. In an unknown place, there would be another storm.
The Heavenly Policy Empire, Heavenly Orchid City, had been bustling for thousands of years. The four empires all had their capital here, so many people had long forgotten the name Heavenly Orchid City and used "Capital" instead.
The imperial city was ten times larger than Cloud Piercing City and Lianghai City. In the northwest of the imperial city, there was a seven-story pagoda with an eaves that circled around the city. It looked ancient and majestic, and was the biggest powerhouse of the Heavenly Policy Empire — — the Tower of Clouds.
The Yunshu Pagoda was not just the seventh floor on the surface. Its structure went deep into the ground, and beneath it was another enormous underground palace.
In the depths of the underground palace, outside of a secret room, Nanhuo was bowing towards the secret room with a look of shock on his face. Just now, he had returned to the capital from the destroyed Cloud Piercing City, and the spatial tunnel of Cloud Piercing City had been destroyed.
This time, not only was he unable to bring Demon Dragon's Eye back, but Jiang Haitao, who went along with him, and the thousand warriors of the Purple Armored Battalion were also destroyed. When he and Jiang Hai Tao escaped from the pursuit of Chi Man and the Earth Profound Yin who devoured Dragon Clan, Jiang Hai Tao was killed by Chi Man Tuo, while he himself had finally escaped the pursuit of the Earth Profound Yin, which gave him a chance to live.
Currently, there was not a single sound in the secret chamber, causing Nan Huaike to feel even more anxious. He stood outside, trembling in fear, waiting for the Tower Lord's instructions.
After a long while, there was finally a response from within. A ball of purple light radiated, and with the voices of the people inside, it fluctuated between bright and dark.
"Nan Huaike, why aren't you dead?" Although his voice was calm and calm, and he had spoken in a very long tone, it was obvious from the short sentence that the other party was extremely angry. Under the surface of the calm and emotionless waves, there was definitely a surging undercurrent.
Nan Huaike's knees went weak as he kneeled on the ground and said with a trembling voice, "Tower Master, you have redeemed yourself. This subordinate has already done my best, but who would have thought that the Devouring Dragon Clan would suddenly attack and disrupt all of our plans?"
"Do your best? Hmph, you are still standing here. "Nanhuo, you were just an ordinary person without any special features back then. You should know the rules of our Cloud Soothing Tower. People like you should have long died outside."
"Yes, yes, yes. If it wasn't for the Tower Lord accepting subordinates and using the 'Marrow Cutting Muscle Technique' to cleanse this subordinate's body, this subordinate would still be a mediocre person. The Tower Lord would know of the circumstances and reconstruct my body, and this subordinate would be hard-pressed to repay this favor even if I were to die."
The purple light in the secret room flickered, and the voice was faint: "Dragon Clan Devourer attacked Cloud Piercer City twice, and it must be aimed towards the Demon Dragon's Eye. You have the 'Thunderbolt Needle', how can you not have the Demon Dragon's Eye?"
"This …" Nanhuo's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, and he didn't know how to reply.
With a flash of purple light, an unhappy and unhappy voice sounded out, "Hm?" A long grunt, but it was filled with incomparable power and power, causing the surrounding space to completely freeze.
"Thunderbolt Needle... Lost. " After being pressured by such a powerful aura, Nanhuo did not even have the guts to lie as he blurted out the truth.
"Very good, very good." Lou Tianying had said two good words. Nan Huaike suddenly felt a powerful force charging over, and it instantly struck his body. His body was flung more than a hundred feet away, and blood gushed out of his chest, spurting out of his mouth.
"Please forgive me, Tower Master. It was the Thousand Leaves Divine Wood that ruined the Tower Master's plans."
Lou Tianying asked, "Are you trying to shirk responsibility?"
"I don't dare, your subordinate doesn't dare, it's your subordinate's incompetence."
"If the Thunderbolt Needle is lost, then the one who took the Demon Dragon's Eye should be the one who took the Thunderbolt Needle. Do you know who it is?"
Nanhuo kneeled on the ground, thinking that he could not say that he did not know, or else he would die for sure. After some thought, he suddenly said, "This subordinate suspects that it is the Lin Clan."
"Hmm? How can you possibly see someone from the Lin Family? "
"Back then, when that mysterious foreign object took out the Devil Dragon's Eye from the ground, the Thousand Leaves Divine Wood immediately gave chase. Elder Jiang and I were entangled by an expert who had swallowed Dragon Clan, and were momentarily unable to escape. After I got rid of the Dragon Clan devouring expert, I found the Thousand Leaves Divine Wood and heard it shout 'Lin Feng' from afar. I rushed over to the source of the voice and discovered that once the Thousand Leaves Divine Wood died, there was no trace of anyone around.
"How is Lin Feng's cultivation?" Lou Tianying asked coldly.
"However, he is a Qi Master." When he said those words, he felt that his face was very dark. Four strong Qi warriors had actually let a Qi Master like him snatch the thing away. If word of this got out, he would probably be laughed to death by others.
As expected, the purple light in the secret chamber trembled, and Lou Tianying let out a mocking laugh, "Nanyue, you and Jiang Haitao have truly shocked me. The elders of my Cloud Soothing Tower are not even comparable to a yellow-furred child, I have to think carefully about it, and after going into seclusion for a long time, am I the reverse of the world, or is my opponent too strong, or are all of you just useless people?"
Nan Huaike fell to his knees and kowtowed continuously, saying, "Yes, yes, yes."
"What is it?"
Nan Huaike was stunned for a moment. He was only answering the question casually out of fear, so the Tower Lord did not answer either. Instead, he answered with a heavy tone, "Tower Lord … "This..."0
"Hmph, with Cloud Piercing City destroyed, the Lin Family must be scattered all over the empire. Quickly find it and bring it back! If you can't get the Demon Dragon's Eye back, you can bring it to us."

A month later, Lin Feng finally stepped down from the Iron Roc. His temperament was now very different from before. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he exuded a faint, cold aura. This was precisely the phenomenon of soul force advancing greatly. In a month's time, Lin Feng spent most of his time on the "Volume of Illusion and Destruction" to cultivate soul force, and after his soul force became strong, he changed to "Heavenly Enlightenment Technique". Just a few days ago, Lin Feng had reached the third level of "Refining the Void".
He gave each of the two men who piloted the 'Iron Roc' a Rank 2 Soul Essence and sent them away while he walked around the city alone. Although Night-Mo City was one of the "Thousand Cities" of the Four Great Capital Cities, it was very close to the Anarchic Lands. Many of the criminals that were caught by the Norman Empire would live in this Anarchic Lands, where experts were as common as the clouds and dragons and snakes were mixed together. However, there was a place where two empires intersected, and there were also many big merchants entering the business world, making this place much more bustling and chaotic than usual.
Its prosperity was no less than that of the great cities, and its chaos was no less than that of the dark world of the marketplace.
