“Boss!”
“Damn, Boss is dead. That was an attack from a gold-tier magical weapon. Let’s run!”
Even their most revered boss had died. How could they be a match for the other party? One of the robbers shouted, and the others also left in their airship in panic. They were even twice as fast as they had come. In the blink of an eye, their airship had vanished.
“Damn, what’s going on? Why is that magic airship of the robbers fleeing?”
“I saw the gang leader of the robbers killed by a flying dragon.”
“Damn, what’s going on? I heard the robber shouting about some gold-tier magical weapon. Is there an expert on our airship?”
“It must be. That’s a phantom of a dragon soul. This must have been an attack from a gold-tier magical weapon. Someone had used a gold-tier magical weapon to kill the other party’s boss, so they were frightened and fled. We’re saved.”
“Where is that powerful man? I must thank him profusely.”
After a while, these people finally reacted. They started to discuss and even started to look for the expert who had just intervened. However, this expert, Ron, said to Karuman, “Uncle Karuman, let’s go back.”
Hearing this, Karuman was stunned. He had thought that Ron would take this opportunity to show off, but he had not expected the other party to have no such thoughts. It seemed that Ron did not want to reveal his strength before entering the Blue Jade Mystic Realm of Trial. Thinking of this, Karuman became even more impressed with Ron.
This was because when he was Ron’s age, he was far weaker than Ron, but he was already very arrogant. If he were to encounter such a situation, he would definitely want to be in the limelight. He had indeed encountered such situations a few times and almost died then. After suffering a few setbacks, he learned to hide his inadequacies. But currently, Ron was not only much stronger than his previous self in terms of cultivation base, he was even stronger in terms of the state of mind.
At this moment, the people on the airship who could not find the expert had gradually calmed down. Under the arrangement of the Captain of the Guards, all of them returned to their own cabins. Then, the Captain of the Guards looked at the three frozen corpses on the deck. Currently, they still maintained the posture they had when they exercised their magical power. The Captain of the Guards could tell that the magical power of these three people was directed at him. If they had really unleashed their magical power successfully, he would have surely died. Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Fortunately, there was an expert on this airship. Otherwise, if he had died, the others would certainly not have been able to resist. Those robbers had taken advantage of the chaos to attack, no one on the airship would have survived.
However, who was that expert? Why had he not shown himself after doing something good? And the weapon the expert had used just now should be a gold-tier magical weapon. Those who used such weapons were definitely very rich. But if the other party was so rich, why would be he riding in this magical airship of the lowest grade? Many questions appeared in the mind of the Captain of the Guards. He could not figure anything out. In the end, he did not want to think anymore. It was better to quickly steer the airship out of here.
Then, he started the airship and shut down the protective formation. After all, it would consume Magic Stones with the formation activated. It was better to save as much as possible.
After returning to the cabin, Ron began to meditate cross-legged. He had used the Ice Wand to kill earlier and had expended a little too much energy. After all, the Ice Wand was a gold-tier magical weapon. Although it was powerful, it also consumed a lot of magical power. He could not keep using it, otherwise, he would not have just killed the other party’s gang leader and let the others go.
The rest of the journey was uneventful. No other robbers appeared. By the afternoon of the next day, their flight was finally over. Looking down at the Blue Jade City, Ron was shocked to find that it was much larger than the Wind Snow City he had seen earlier.
This was not a transportation hub nor did it have resources. Thousands of years ago, this place was just a desolate land. Subsequently, the Blue Jade Mystic Realm was discovered, and then, many wanted to occupy this place, so there were more and more people. After hundreds of years of fighting, the rules were set. Then, a large city was built here, the Blue Jade City. The City Lord and his deputy here were both at the full level of the Great Archmage realm and were very powerful.
This city existed because of the emergence of the Blue Jade Mystic Realm. Every time the Blue Jade Mystic Realm was conducting a trial, it would be the busiest and liveliest time in the city. Ron’s small airship had landed in the most inconspicuous place. After getting off the airship, Ron found that the number of Magi here was more than ten times those in Wind Snow City, and most of them were all of the Great Mage realm. There were also quite a few who came with a big entourage like the young master of the Wind Snow City. However, when they arrived here, their previous arrogance was somewhat restrained. This was because they all knew that those who could come here for the trial were all geniuses from the large sects and powers. Everyone had a prominent background, and they could not be offended recklessly.
Occasionally, one or two experts of the Great Archmage realm could be spotted. Every time such experts appeared, it would immediately cause a commotion. This was because these experts were all well-known figures from some large factions. They were famous, and there would also be one or two geniuses beside them with the strength of at least a level-10 Great Mage realm or even higher. They were all here to participate in the Blue Jade Trial.
Karuman had also stopped being lethargic and became much more cautious. After all, there were too many Great Archmagi here. He was only a level-4 Great Archmage, and there were many stronger than him here. It was better to be careful.
Then the two of them went to the most ordinary small hotel to rest. Even a small hotel was very expensive, and if they had come a little later, they might not even have this small room. After Ron and Karuman had gone upstairs, whispered discussions started in a secret corner of the hall.
“Two more have come. Are they going to participate in the trial?”
“Look at how shabby they look. They should be here just to watch the fun. After all, the Blue Jade Badge is so expensive,” the voice gradually tapered off.
There were still two days before the trial would begin. These two days were enough for Ron to recover to his peak condition. He did not plan to continue cultivating for the next two days. Instead, he wanted to walk around and sightsee. At the same time, he could also fine-tune his state.
The next night, the two of them returned from shopping on the streets and went upstairs to their room directly.. However, just as they entered the room, Karuman frowned, but he quickly returned to normal.
