Chapter 4975

After all, Kai had resolved every threat with a single sword strike that night, without the slightest delay. This made Fengxian believe that the other cities in Feihu City were extremely weak.

“Don’t get careless. Let’s keep moving,”
Kai said, and the four of them continued forward.

Before long, another city blocked their path—this one clearly much larger. While not as vast as the main city, it was noticeably bigger than the others they had encountered.

What stood out most was that the city gate was shut, and a gray-brown fog surrounded it, making it difficult to see the gate clearly.

The entire city was blanketed in this strange mist. Even when Kai flew into the air, he couldn’t make out the interior.

He attempted to probe with his spiritual sense but found that the fog actually blocked it. It was obvious this had been done deliberately—to hide what was happening inside the city from outsiders.

“This is strange… such a big city, and yet there’s no sign of life. I can’t sense any aura at all,”
Fengxian said, frowning at the mysterious city ahead.

“Someone has intentionally masked the city’s presence. It seems this place holds greater significance within Feihu City,”
Bai Yi said gravely.
“If we want to get through here, it won’t be as easy as before.”

“There’s fog all around this city—we can’t see a thing. Why not just fly over it?”
“If we can’t detect the people inside, they shouldn’t be able to detect us either,”
Fengxian suggested.

“We can’t. This fog is part of a powerful formation. Even if we fly over, we’ll still be noticed,”
Kai replied.
“For now, we’ll have to take it step by step. First, we need to break the formation—otherwise, we’ll be at a serious disadvantage.”

Without breaking the formation, they would remain blind to the situation inside the city—while their enemies would know exactly where they were.

That would put them in a very vulnerable position.
When Kai and his companions reached the city, they found no guards at the gate. It truly seemed like someone wanted to present it as a dead city. But Kai knew—there couldn’t possibly be a real dead city within the entire Feihu City region.

Staring at the towering city gate ahead, Kai’s eyes gradually emitted a faint red glow.

He had activated his Tianming Eye. Normally, breaking a formation of this scale by conventional means would take a great deal of time—if it could even be broken at all. So now, Kai had no choice but to rely on the Tianming Eye to probe the formation.

Buzz!

As the Tianming Eye opened, Kai’s vision shifted dramatically.

The gray-brown mist began to fade from his sight, and as his Tianming Eye dug deeper, his gaze penetrated the city gate and extended into the city itself.

Although the formation blocked spiritual sense, it couldn’t obstruct the power of the Tianming Eye.

What Kai saw startled him—there were no ordinary people in the city, only armored soldiers.

Countless troops were arrayed in neat formations. Some were training, others patrolling.

In that moment, Kai realized the truth. The strange-looking city ahead wasn’t a real city at all—it was a massive military base belonging to Feihu City.

These armored soldiers were being trained here, then deployed to various locations.

A chill ran through Kai’s heart. In his escape, he had unwittingly arrived at the most dangerous place of all.

He deactivated the Tianming Eye. Just then, Bai Yi leaned in and whispered, “Dear son-in-law, well? Can we break the formation in this city?”

“No. We need to leave—now,”
Kai replied, then turned and began to retreat.

“Brother, what are you doing? Are you scared?”
Fengxian asked, confused, as he ran after him.
