Chapter 590 - Walking on the Street
Half a month later, the four beams of light that Li Mu"s group of four transformed into cut across the horizon, and in the end, landed in front of a gigantic city. At the city gate next to the city gate, there was a majestic city tower, and on the city gate hung a golden plaque, on it were two eye-catching and domineering large words, Baocheng!
The Baocheng was located in a middle ranking nation, Yan Nation, located in the northern part of Yuheng Continent. Although Yan Nation was not very big, but it had been famous for a long time in the cultivation world of the northern part of the Yuheng Continent. The reason it was like this was because it was a first tier Cultivation City that was not weaker than the Gold Jade City."Is this the Baocheng? Qing`er, is Lil"Lingtian really nearby this Baocheng? "
Looking at the imposing giant city in front of them, Li Mu asked uncertainly. Ever since the four of them broke through the seal of the Zhou Tian Star Elephant Disk half a month ago, under Li Mu"s powerful Spiritual Sense, they did not encounter any big problems. Other than encountering a few sneak attacks from rank 4 beasts midway, Li Mu and the rest could be considered to be on a smooth sailing trip, as they did not encounter any encirclement from the Peng Family at the outskirts of the Five Spirit Holy Lands.
"That"s right, my grandfather"s other cave"s Lil"Lingtian was established not too far away from this Baocheng. We should first enter this Baocheng to rest. After travelling for such a long time, I can"t take it anymore!"Looking at Baocheng in front of him, Xu Ruqing said somewhat tiredly.
"I never thought that this would be the Baocheng, but this is my first time here. I heard that this is an extraordinary Cultivation City, no one from the top ten sects in the northern part of the Yuheng Continent dares to meddle here, I"ve long wanted to find a chance to come here and see!"Zhang Mengjiao seemed to know a lot about the Baocheng, as she stared at the Baocheng in front of him with antic.i.p.ation.
"Oh? Hearing your tone, Meng Jiao, could it be that this Baocheng is different from the other Cultivation City? To think that it would make you yearn for it so much. "The four of them walked towards the Baocheng as Li Mu looked at him strangely and asked.
"Wooden, it"s not like you haven"t even heard of the Baocheng, you"re not knowledgeable, but this Baocheng is also known as the Free City, it"s also known as the Rogue Cultivator"s City, it"s the only first-rate Cultivation City in the north of the Yuheng Continent that"s not under the control of the ten great sects! "Not only that, most of the people living in the city are rogue cultivators, and the majority of them are rogue cultivators who reject sect"s presence in Baocheng. Let me put it this way, this is a Cultivation City where rogue cultivators rule over everything."
Seeing Li Mu"s curious face, Xu Ruqing seemed to have never heard of Baocheng, and immediately explained. After hearing what Xu Ruqing said, Li Mu"s eyes immediately opened wide, as though he could not believe what he had just said.
Seeing that Li Mu was so surprised, the one who spoke up was Ouyang Ye. It was clear that he had some understanding of the Baocheng as well, and he patiently explained to Li Mu: "In the Yuheng Continent, the secular world and the cultivation world are basically two separate realms. Although the Yan Nation isn"t considered a great power in the many countries in the northern part of the Yuheng Continent, the Cultivation City isn"t affected by the strength of the countries in the slightest.
Not only that, the cultivation sects of some of the smaller nations near the Qin Nation are also affiliated with the Gold Jade Sect. In the cultivation world, there are many powers that are affiliated with each other like this, and this is the so-called realm in the cultivation world. It can also be understood that these powers are subordinate to the big fish, small fish, and small fish that eat shrimp.
"The Baocheng is an exception to the countless large and small forces in the northern part of the Yuheng Continent. It exists as a single ent.i.ty, and can be considered a faction as well, but the reason why it is so uncertain is because the Baocheng is very unique. Eighty percent of the cultivators that gather there are rogue cultivators, and even the city lord"s mansion and city lord are organized by rogue cultivators.""You must know that this Baocheng is a first cla.s.s Cultivation City. Even if there are no millions of cultivators, there are at least 700,000-800,000 of them. 80% of them are rogue cultivators, you can imagine how many there are."
As he explained about the Baocheng to Li Mu, Ouyang Ye couldn"t help but reveal a hint of praise himself.
"Rogue cultivator?" So many rogue cultivators gathered together? Oh... "I understand, rogue cultivators are usually independent existences, compared to sect disciples, they are like sand in a desert, but when they unite, it is different. After all, the vast majority of rogue cultivators are there, and only with so many rogue cultivators united together can they make it so that even the top ten sects would not be able to take them down."
Li Mu thought for a while before understanding the situation. He was really looking forward to seeing a special city like the Baocheng, where 80 to 90% of the cultivation world"s Cultivation City s were created using the same method, led by a single power. That was to create the City Lord"s Mansion and the City Lord"s Mansion"s Guard, all for the sake of governing the Cultivation City.Li Mu did not know what this Cultivation City, which was dominated by itinerant cultivators, would look like, but he thought that it would definitely be very messy. After all, there were all kinds of itinerant cultivators, and without any power from the system to manage them, this kind of gigantic Cultivation City would definitely have a lot of problems.
Very quickly, Li Mu and the other three arrived at the city gates of Baocheng, there were guards at the gates of Baocheng who were similar to the rest of the cities, they were dressed in the same white attire, and on the chest area of their clothes was embroidered the word "Ba", but the cultivation levels of the guards made Li Mu a little speechless, a total of ten guards, with varying levels of cultivation. The ones with higher cultivation had actually just entered the Lesser Heaven stage, the difference in cultivation level was already too great, and what made Li Mu even more speechless was that the guards were all lazily leaning against the city gates, napping.
Looking at the lazy guard at the gate, Li Mu thought that Baocheng City would definitely not be any better off, but when Li Mu walked into the city, the scene that appeared before his eyes made him give up on this idea.
The streets within the Baocheng were very wide, and there were many pedestrians. The cultivation levels of these people were high and low, or in groups of two or three, or in groups of five or six, looking very organized and orderly, obviously not on the same level as the chaos in Li Mu"s imagination."I have come to this Baocheng with Hu Bo before. How about this, we first find an inn to stay at, and rest properly for two days, then we can go to Lil"Lingtian together?"
Upon entering the bustling Baocheng, the fatigue on Xu Ruqing"s face immediately disappeared, she looked all around, and obviously relaxed. Regarding this, he knew that Xu Ruqing had been staying in the Wine Spirit Wonderland for a long time, and last time, when she went out and provoked the people from the Peng Family, although she returned back to the Wine Spirit Wonderland, but she did not stop for two days and was surrounded by the various forces of the Zongtian Violet Thunder Sect, and in the end, she snuck into the Five Spirit Holy Lands for about a month or so, which was enough for Xu Ruqing who had always thirsted for freedom.
"I don"t have a problem with that, and I can also ask about the recent developments in the cultivation world in Baocheng. I don"t believe that Peng Family and Zongtian Violet Thunder Sect have lost so many people in the Five Spirit Holy Lands and didn"t leak out any information!"
"Brother Ouyang, Meng Jiao, what do you guys think of this?" Li Mu asked Ouyang Ye for their opinion.
"Let"s just do as Qing"er says, after these few days of constant travel, we are a little exhausted, so we might as well train ourselves and take a look at this Baocheng. It is said that this Baocheng has a gambling arena, I have always wanted to go there to have a look."Zhang Mengjiao did not object to Xu Ruqing"s suggestion, it was the same for Ouyang Ye, the two stages of the compet.i.tion, they had to first find Zhang Tian Zheng and then scheme, and Zhang Tianzheng and Li Zhongzheng would face the strong enemy together, and there was a high possibility that they would be waiting for them in the Lil"Lingtian, so it was very important for them to go to the Lil"Lingtian first.
Li Mu and the other three exchanged views, and then walked towards the center of the city together under Xu Ruqing"s lead. This Sky Baocheng was indeed a first cla.s.s Cultivation City, its area was so vast that it was not in the slightest below the Gold Jade City that Li Mu had seen. Inside the Baocheng, one could see a few luxurious shops and inns everywhere, and the number of itinerant cultivators setting their stalls on both sides of the street was even more incalculable.
Along the way, Li Mu could feel that the vitality of the Baocheng was much richer than that of the outside world. Li Mu guessed that this was definitely one of the main reasons that attracted the attention of many rogue cultivators."Get out of the way!" Get out of my way! "
Walking on the crowded streets, suddenly, a sharp female voice came from afar, following that, the people on the streets all went into an uproar, they all rushed to the two sides of the streets, Li Mu, Zhang Mengjiao and the other three were at the center of the streets, naturally they were attracted by the commotion.
Not far from the street, there was a demonic beast that was four to five meters long and looked like a handsome horse, but it was also covered in scales. On its back was a young lady in red, and she was currently running down the street, causing many pedestrians to dodge to the two sides of the street, but there were also a few pedestrians who were knocked away by the demonic beast that was covered in scales.
"What kind of person is this? Isn"t he too arrogant and despotic? How can he be a horse rider on the streets?!"Looking at the red-clothed girl who was already not far from him as well as the demonic beast she sat on, which was filled with scales, Xu Ruqing gnashed his teeth and cursed angrily. He was obviously not used to the red-clothed girl"s actions.
"Quick, dodge!" In case we get hit! "
Li Mu did not have the time to stay in the middle of the road to wait for them to hit him, he called out to Ouyang Ye and Ouyang Ye, then pulled Xu Ruqing and ran to the side of the street.
