I picked up the scattered attributes

The group of people quickly nodded in agreement.

Before long, they arrived at a bustling city. The pressure from Xuanwu Kingdom had not changed the appearance of the Eastern Emperor Continent. Except for a few places, the prosperous areas remained prosperous.

Something's not right! Something's really not right!

Another assassin's expression suddenly changed. Pointing at the flow of people coming and going at the city gate, he cried out in alarm, "Can't they...can't they see us?"

……

Chapter 0753

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"We're right here, how could we not see you?"

The moment this person uttered those words, it drew sneers from the others.

Although they were just coming back to take a look and deliberately kept their presence to themselves, keeping their presence to themselves did not mean that passersby could not see them.

Even if they see it, they'll just treat it like a roadside stone and instinctively walk around it.

"Old man, are you feeling a bit nervous about returning home, so your brain isn't working too well?"

"We just lowered our profile; passersby could still see us, but they would instinctively go around us... Ah!"

Before the other assassin could finish speaking, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Because a passerby, as if not seeing him, bumped right into him!

"What the hell! Am I seeing a ghost?"

The passerby rubbed his forehead in bewilderment, unable to find what he had bumped into for a long time. In the end, he could only leave with a look of bad luck and grumbling.

This scene, witnessed by the group of assassins, immediately made them freeze in shock.

Some people looked at their companions in disbelief:

"No...it's impossible...you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"If you hadn't done it on purpose, how could that person have bumped into you?"

The assassin who was bumped into by the passerby immediately blushed and stammered, "Bullshit! Why would I need to do something like this? Wait, be careful—"

Just the next moment.

The innocent and bewildered curses of passersby rang out one after another.

"Oh my! What the hell is that?"

"It looks like something's blocking the road. What is it?!"

"I fucking bumped into one too! Damn it!"

Pedestrians who were walking peacefully on the road suddenly find that there are invisible roadblocks. If they happen to run into them, they will be hit by a shocking recoil force, leaving them with head injuries and blood!

For them, this was nothing short of a catastrophe!

"What happened? What's going on?"

In a city not far away, a powerful warrior from the Xuanwu Kingdom flew out. After listening to the stories told by a few passersby, he immediately unleashed his full senses, scanning the surrounding world.

However, even at the very end, he did not discover anything unusual.

Everything was normal on the roads inside and outside the city, and nothing existed in the space. Following the advice of some passersby, the powerful figure walked towards several points where anomalies had occurred.

“I have searched the area several times, and there is nothing there.”

The powerful figure narrowed his eyes and finally made a conclusion.

What puzzled this powerful man was that the passersby were clearly not lying either. Their bewilderment and their anger at the unexpected disaster were like lights in the dark, and they were just as genuine as he perceived them!

"However, none of you should have been deceiving me."

He frowned, glanced at the group again, and then shook his head, saying, "How about this? Since you were injured at the city gate, the city lord's mansion will treat your injuries. If you urgently need to continue your journey, you can also receive compensation of equal value... What do you think?"

"Since the master has said so..."

Several passersby exchanged glances, all seeing the surprise in each other's eyes: "Then let's do as you say, sir."

A large part of their anger stemmed from the fact that these injuries appeared out of nowhere, and even the powerful figure from the city lord's mansion couldn't figure out why!

In their view, since this powerful figure couldn't find anything, it only meant two possibilities.

Either their encounter was purely accidental, or this powerful figure simply didn't want to investigate.

In either case, they can only accept their bad luck.

Now, this powerful figure from the City Lord's Mansion clearly tells them that all injuries can be treated, and if they don't have time to stay here, it can be converted into compensation!

To be honest, this was a completely unexpected surprise!

In the past, they wouldn't have even dared to think about it.

The City Lord's Mansion, high and mighty, is a tool for the rule of the various powerful clans of the Eastern Emperor. How could the safety of ordinary people like them possibly be of any concern to the City Lord's Mansion?

"My lord, aren't you afraid we'll deliberately extort money from the city lord's mansion?"

Suddenly, a passerby with a "prominent" air asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, the powerful figure from the City Lord's Mansion chuckled: "First of all, you don't have the guts to extort money from the City Lord's Mansion. If someone actually succeeds in doing so..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, his smile grew even brighter.

The powerful figure unconsciously puffed out his chest and said in a proud voice, "Our Xuanwu Kingdom naturally has a complete set of laws to deal with them."

"Wait, is that gentleman referring to Xuanwu Kingdom?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot! It seems that a few days ago, Emperor Xuanwu of the Western Regions sent a powerful figure to take over this city, but the commotion was so small that I almost forgot about it!"

"If this isn't just a performance, then the officials of Xuanwu Kingdom are actually much better than the previous ones."

Discussions from all directions kept reaching my ears.

The ASEAN assassins stood blankly in the distance. They had avoided the detection of the city lord's powerful figures, but instead of fleeing, they watched everything from a distance.

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

"The people of Xuanwu Kingdom don't seem to be as bad as they've been described?"

"If it were before, it probably wouldn't have happened..."

"No, don't be fooled by them!"

Halfway through the conversation, someone suddenly became alert and shouted sharply, "Perhaps everything we're seeing was arranged in advance by the Xuanwu Kingdom! Don't be fooled; we shouldn't be concerned about this now!"

They quickly realized, "We almost got caught up in this! The most urgent thing is to figure out what tricks the Imperial Preceptor Xuanwu has used on us to make us all invisible!"

They were talking quite loudly.

However, neither the passersby nor the powerful figures from the city lord's mansion noticed their presence at all. It was as if they had become invisible, and even if they stood in front of others, no one could detect them!

What horrified them even more was...

Not only the sounds they made, but even their supernatural powers could not affect the outside world. They could be bumped into, and they could stand on this land, but their supernatural powers could not hit anything. They could not even carve words on the ground!

They were like ghosts, a group of living ghosts.

"No...impossible!"

Suddenly, a bodyguard burst into the city and headed straight for a mansion.

His family and his descendants are there!

The other assassins arrived shortly afterward, and then they saw their comrade kneeling on the ground, utterly dejected, like a walking corpse.

"They...they can't see me either..."

……

Chapter 0754

The ASEAN assassins fell silent for a moment.

Their eyes widened, their bodies trembled, and they simply couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Suddenly, one of them roared angrily, and an astonishing divine power erupted, transforming into a vast and mighty river of light that crashed towards the distant street!

Boom——

The terrifying magical storm, like an illusion unseen by anyone, raged on, yet failed to cause even the slightest impact on the streets and pedestrians.

The pedestrians are unharmed.

The streets are fine.

But now, a group of dumbfounded assassins are in real trouble.

"Impossible! How is this possible?"

"My attack could destroy an entire city block. Could it be that someone secretly intervened and blocked my attack?"

"Or has the city's defensive array reached this point?"

Several more people then made their moves.

They might unleash attacks on pedestrians on the street, or try to attract the attention of passersby through various means.
