Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Stopping the Escape

Yuan City used to be the third greatest city within The Great Xuan Empire, but after the rise of Snowy Wind City in recent years, it was relegated to the 4th place.

For good reasons too.

So as the group of powerhouses flew within range of the city, they eventually saw it come within view.

And their first impression was horrible.

"This city's resentful spirits are even worse," Elder Song angrily said, "Duan Zhen, you've done a damn good job of controlling your subordinates. Just look at this city! How can you tell me that any righteous family did this?"

Duan Zhen stayed silent as he couldn't reply to the woman for two main reasons. One, he didn't know that Yuan City was this bad, and two, that old woman and her Soaring Soaring Sect's Alchemy Pavillion supplied too many pills for him to offend.

And he also slightly agreed.

Seeing that he stayed silent, Elder Song only snorted, "At least you know!"

Finally, the group reached the walls of Yuan City, but as they did, the guards who manned the city walls also noticed their presence.

However, before they could fly up and order the group to halt and identify themselves, Duan Zhen put a hand into his robe and pulled out an imperial scroll.

Throwing it up into the air, the once small meter-long scroll unraveled itself and enlarged to a size that was comparable to most of the buildings in Yuan City.

Exuding an intangible imperial pressure that could only be mimicked by Duan Zhen himself, the imperial scroll soon gained writing that projected over the entire city.

"Imperial Summoning Order!"

The Imperial Summoning Order, while something simple, was also an extremely powerful item.

Only the Emperor himself was allowed to create such scrolls. However, he was allowed to hand them to Imperial Messengers and other subordinates. The only thing different about the ones he handed out was that when those were unfolded, they could only reach the size of a few meters.

But every Imperial Summoning Order had one purpose.

The city that it was brought to immediately required the presence of its highest noble clan's patriarch.

And it required their presence fast.

If the patriarch that was summoned didn't arrive within 2 minutes, punishments were guaranteed. They varied depending on how slow the patriarch was, though.

The worst punishment was a few years ago when a Marquis thought himself higher than the Imperial Advisor who carried the Imperial Summoning Order and arrogantly asked for the advisor to come to him.

This Marquis didn't see the sun the next day. But his punishment wasn't publicized, sadly.

So the second the building size Imperial Scroll revealed itself, the entire city was thrown into chaos.

"Oh my god, the Emperor is here!"

"What do you think he needs from Duke Wang? It can't be good, right? He even used Duke Wang's full name and not his title."

"Hmph! What else can it be? The Emperor finally decided to do something about the damn devil spawns of the Wang Clan."

However, the second the extremely reasonable words were said, every single man, woman, and child immediately ran away from the speaker as if he were a plague.

"Idiot! If you want to die, do it in peace at home!"

"Yea! Don't bring us down along with you!"

​ Ignorant of the small talk and banter down below, Duan Zhen stood in the air, calm, awaiting Wang Yichen's arrival.

Yet minutes quickly passed, and nothing, not even a gust of wind, came from the Wang Clan's estate, leaving Duan Zhen getting embarrassed quickly.

Angered at the fact that even now, the Wang Clan was still putting on airs, Duan Zhen was about to barge into the estate himself and drag out Wang Yichen until Xue Bai suddenly felt something.

Though Xue Bai was still a human, he had the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox within him and the extremely rare and strong spatial element with it.

Sure, beyond the occasional testing of an idea that spurted in his mind every once in a while, he rarely used the spatial element. But he still had a connection with all of the space elements around him because of his extremely high grade bloodline.

Because of this, Xue Bai's sense of the space element was always extremely high. And after years of being exposed to teleportation arrays, it had only increased.

Currently, Xue Bai was plagued by constant senses teleports even if they were coming from the Outer Sect region.

And as they waited for Wang Yichen's arrival, Xue Bai suddenly felt a teleportation array being started up.

"Master! Quickly they are escaping! They're setting up an array!" Xue Bai quickly shouted out, not wanting the Wang Clan to succeed.

He could feel the space element in the air was being quickly gathered and in large amounts too.

Far beyond the normal amount that was needed to teleport the usual short distances that the Soaring Sword Sect teleportation arrays had.

The Wang Clan were running, and they were running far.

'These bastards most likely already have the Central Continent teleport set up!' Xue Bai thought.

Yue Zifeng gave Xue Bai an odd look on how he sensed that, but knowing his disciple would lie so blatantly and at such an important moment as well, he quickly accepted the advice and turned into a streak of lightning that flew toward the Wang Clan estate.

Duan Zhen also sensed the urgency that Yue Zifeng carried as he flew over and didn't hesitate to follow the sect leader.

He also could feel that the Wang Clan's delay wasn't due to arrogance but something else.

The only reason that Wang Yichen and his clan of demons survived was because of his intelligence and 'loyalty.'

So in a normal situation, there was no way that Wang Yichen would so openly defy an Imperial Summoning Order.

Something was up, and Duan Zhen didn't want to wait to know what.

Elder Song and the other Core Elders also quickly followed behind. However, due to the difference in cultivation, they were a step lower than the two Xiantian Great Realm powerhouses.

Thanks to the speed of Yue Zifeng's flying sword, he and Xue Bai were the first to reach the Wang Clan's estate, where they saw its protection array covering the entire estate.

Not bothering to call out for Elder Yang, who was supposed to be nearby, Yue Zifeng instantly went to break the protection array.

Quickly forming a set of hand seals, Yue Zifeng manifested a huge array of a thousand swords behind him. However, he wasn't finished, as after forming another set of hand seals, he chanted.

"Myriad Swords Convergence Art: Thousand Swords Return to One!" Instantly after he chanted the name, Yue Zifengs rosy face lost a few shades turning a pale white, but the effects showed greatly.

The thousand swords that Yue ZIfeng had manifested converge and instantly turn into one large sword.

The sword wasn't large, but the aura it projected made everyone who sensed it terrified.

As if a Sword Immortal himself had descended, the sword made every Sword Cultivator within thousands of miles want to kneel in its glory.

But Yue Zifeng cared little for it and grabbed the sword in his right hand and slashed at the protection array.

"Firmatnet Sword Slash!"

Yue Zifeng's slash immediately sliced through the protection array without a second of delay and broke it completely.

"Bai'er, stay here," Yue Zifeng said as he flew off his flying sword, "My Firmament Sword will protect you."

Not saying another word, Yue ZIfeng flew off toward the center of the Wang Clan estate.

"Master, the teleportation array is 3 kilometers to the north!" Xue Bai quickly shouted out where he sensed the teleportation.

Giving a quick nod, Yue Zifeng didn't even bother turning around but led the charge toward the direction of Xue Bai's instructions, immortal sword in hand.

Duan Zhen also followed behind, and the Core Elders arrived very soon.

"Xue Bai, where is the sect leader?" Elder Song quickly asked, not wasting any time, and after getting the direction, the group of Core Elders flew off in preparation for a battle.

'I wanted to see…' Xue Bai grumbled.

He didn't even have a Viewing Talisman to watch the carnage from afar.

—

Deep in the center of the Wang Clan's estate was the most protected and sacred building, the Ancestral Hall.

There was every single important individual that was born in the Wang Clan.

However, now the entire bottom floor of the Ancestral Hall had been hollowed out, and in the new space, a few dozen of the clan's most important individuals stood.

Wang Yichen, Wang Chen, Wang Yu, and all of the other high-standing figures who could cause rain and storms wherever they went stood in the center, now panicky and scared.

A few feet away from the Wang Clan higher-ups was an old hunchback emancipated figure who was drawing blood from a slit arm on one hand while the other allowed his blood to flow onto a specific flag of the teleportation array.

Teleportation arrays weren't simple constructions, but instead, the amalgamation of a myriad of different array formations used to create a normal teleportation array.

And the specific array that the Great Elder was powering up with his blood essence was the Spatial Element Gathering Array, which was responsible for powering up the spatial runes, which would allow the teleportation array to turn on and allow them to escape.

Suddenly Wang Yichen's face went pale, and he coughed out two mouthfuls of blood.

"Father, hurry, they've broken the defensive array!" Wang Yichen yelled out in a panic, "If Yue Ziefeng reaches here, let alone the Central Continent, we won't even escape with our lives!"
