Chapter 366: Sam's City Vs Old One- I

Old one moved at his maximum speed he can reach in his current state.

Just when Sai and his team are about to chase him, they realized they are not able to move. Old one looked at them from the tent and smiled.

Sai looked around and saw some incense emitting some kind of smoke.

He realized that they fell victim for the same hallucinogen, but this time they came prepared.

All of them accumulated the spiritual energy within their lungs and started sending the smoke that filled their lungs out of him forcefully.

But Old one is already on his way to the thunder god temple. He entered the Space gate and appeared in one of the islands which is present in the outskirts of the thunder god temple's territory.

This is one of the secret space gates he created to send the Consummate realm high priests to this place after the whole absorption was complete. But his plan failed and now he is moving to find out the person who spoiled the plan.

After he entered the Thunder god temple, he made his way towards the Space gate island.

He knew that there is a Space gate to the western continent and the centuries of his presence gave him the opportunity for him to know the layout of most major powers.

He reached the Space gate island within a few minutes, because the island that he arrived is quite near to that one.

As soon as he came to the Space gate island, he was greeted by some Nascent stage cultivators who are guarding the Space gates.

He released his aura completely and walked forward, the Nascent stage cultivators couldn't get handle the pressure and felt suffocated.

"I want to go to Sam's city. Where is the gate leading to the western continent?"

He asked in an overbearing tone.

The Nascent stage cultivators didn't even make a noise, in fact they are unable to talk.

Old one held on by the neck and asked.

"Which Space gate should I use?"

The guard raised his hand weakly as he pointed at the newly made Space gate. This Space gate leads to the woods near the Sam's city.

Old one doesn't know that, although he did send soldiers to Sam's city and even attacked the city but he doesn't have enough information network to get the new information as soon as something happened.

He walked towards the Space gate and looked at the person in charge of the Space gate and made his shiver in fright. He started depositing the spirit stones to send him to the western continent.

As the Space gate activated, Sai arrived at the secret Space gate in the outskirts.

They don't know what this place is and didn't recognize it immediately.

"Where are we?" Sravan asked in confusion.

At this moment, they sensed the raging aura of Old one from there from the tracks he left when he travelled to the Space gate Island.

They followed the tracks and made their way towards the Space gate Island.

Only after they reached the Space gate Island did they understand where they are, they recognised the place by the uniforms that the guards wore.

The guards are making picking themselves up as they felt relieved after the pressure was gone.

But when they saw the new batch of people coming, they felt their hearts tighten again.

Sai asked about what happened and the guard sung like a bird about where Old one went.

"You, go to the core region of the temple and inform the Grand elder that Old one is in western continent."

Sai gave instructions to one of the guards and then looked at the team.

More than half of them are badly injured by the collision of the energies.

He doesn't know if they can take another Space gate journey and still fight. They need to recover a bit.

"You guys stay here. We will go chase him and you recover until the Grand elder comes here and come along with him."

With that they got ready to go on the Space gate and the guard started making the preparations.

Meanwhile, in the western continent, Old one is running towards the City after he appeared in the woods.

The Sky scraper is a dead giveaway.

He reached the city within a few minutes.

The city is sealed right now due to the war and the guards on the city wall are on high alert.

When they looked at the Old man who is injured all over, they felt like this is extremely weird.

They called and reported to their higherups and the news soon reached Philip.

Philip immediately reported the situation to Sam.

But Sam is already watching the Old man in the tower through the surveillance screen.

He just waned to go through the surveillance of the whole city and he came across this situation.

He watched the whole fiasco calmly without doing anything.

Old one is looking at the formation restriction that was blocking him entry into the city.

He looked at the city guards and said.

"Bring the guy named Sam here, I don't have a lot of time."

The guards didn't day anything, they just received the orders from higherups to not to do anything and just stay put.

They also noticed that the spiritual energy waves around the Old man are extremely chaotic and high.

Old one didn't ask them again and just walked forward.

When he encountered the restriction, he extended his hand and sent a spiritual energy wave and the formation broke and he walked forward casually.

At this moment, Sam finally made his move.

He got on Harbinger as he flashed past to the top floor and reached the roof.

One the roof, there is a small room which couldn't look any more normal.

Sam walked in and sat on the chair which is in the centre of the room and the chair has a helmet placed on it.

He sat down and wore the helmet and it glowed with some runic patterns. Followed by that the whole room lit up with the runic patterns followed by the whole building.

Philip and the rest of his friends are extremely astonished as they saw the whole building glowing with runic marks.

Then they remembered something and went to their respective floors and took seat that they are supposed to take. This is what Sam explained to them when the city was built.

"Attention everyone in the City."

Sam started speaking and the whole city was resounded with those words.

All the workers and the permanent citizens of the city including the city guards all looked towards the Sky scraper.

Sam's voice continued.

"This is Sam. The person in charge of the city you are living in. As for why you are hearing my voice, it is because the city is under a crisis at the moment.

The crisis is strong enough to wipe out everyone in the city. He is a dozen times stronger than Emperor of this continent."

He paused a little and the citizens are already feeling anxious. They have some sort of blind trust in Sam that they didn't even suspect for a single second that he might be bullshitting.

As they are thinking of what to do, they heard his voice again.

"I can avert this crisis completely and for that I need your help. All you have to do is place your hands on your nearest wall and inject your spiritual energy into it. Do not stop the spiritual energy flow no matter what happens."

As soon as his words are finished everyone ran towards their nearest wall and started injecting their spiritual energy.

All the walls and every structure started glowing with runic symbols.

At the same moment, there is a quake in the earth as they looked towards the sky scrapers.

Around the sky scraper some doors opened on the ground and large pillar came out of it.

The pillars are made of energy cells and all of them are fully engraved with runic marks.

All the runic marks on the structures started glowing and even the roads are glowing with weird patterns.

The energy crystals started sending the energy towards the buildings.

The huge glass sphere which appeared on the day Sam woke up appeared once again.

Apart from that a lot of glass prisms appeared on the walls of the city and all the structures of the city.

In the room, Sam closed his eyes and the veins on his head are throbbing.

Old one looked at the city which was suddenly glowing in lights.

He could sense a large amount of light elemental energy, Just as he was about to advance further, many light beams emerged from the glass sphere on top of the building and they are reflected all around the city through the prisms that are placed in certain positions.

Old one watched as the light beams danced all over the city and before he knew it, the light beams formed a curtain around the city, restricting his access.

He extended his hand and placed his finger on the light curtain, but as soon as he placed his finger, he felt a burn and the flesh on his finger was completely incinerated.

He didn't expect that these light beams can even damage him.

At this moment, the light curtain had some ripples and Sam's face appeared on it along with a loud voice accompanying it.

"Who are you? Old one or his subordinate?"

Sam asked in an extremely calm voice.
