Chapter 4245 Lone City
They had been travelling forward in this desert, Feng Jiu had been counting the time, and it was about four days and three nights after they had arrived in this new realm. It was on this day that they finally saw a city.
"Master, look, it"s the city we saw the other day!" Ye Feifei said with delight, after being exposed to this sun for the past few days and having nothing to cover herself with, she could be said to have darkened a great deal.
Not only her, even w.a.n.g Yu had turned darker, only Feng Jiu and Du Fan as well as Leng Shuang were still the same as before. Not for any other reason, it was only because the three of them had a higher cultivation level, and their spirit energy naturally formed a protective layer on their bodies.
"Finally, we have found a place to land and rest, this was really an arduous journey!" Du Fan lamented, but a smile appeared on his face.
"I just want to have a good sleep now." w.a.n.g Yu said, his lips were a bit dry and cracked, even if there was no lack of water to drink on this journey, but, being exposed to the sun like this, it was just too much to bear.
"Find a place inside to have a good rest first, and let"s talk about the rest later." Feng Jiu said, as the Rainbow-coloured glazed feather accelerated the speed, until, came to that city gate before collecting the flying feather landing.
"Nightless City." Feng Jiu looked at the three words on that city gate and softly read out.
"Why is this city gate closed? And not a single person?" Leng Shuang looked around, the city gates were closed and not a single person could be seen.
"Counting the time, it should be night now." Du Fan said, walked up and tapped the city gate, "Is there anyone? Open the city gate."
However, there was only silence. He took a step back, looked at the city wall, and turned back to Feng Jiu, "Master, it seems like a boundary has been set up in this city." If there were no boundaries set up, they would have been able to enter directly through the city walls.
"Hmm, a defence boundary." Feng Jiu looked up and said, "Let"s go to the wall and wait! There"s no sunlight s.h.i.+ning on that side, it"ll be cooler." Saying that, she walked towards that wall.
Seeing this, they followed along to the wall to rest for a while. There was no sunlight here by the wall, so it was a bit cooler to sit down in silence at this time.
They took out water from the s.p.a.ce and drank it, and after resting for a while, they closed their eyes and rested against the wall.
Time pa.s.sed and finally, there was movement. The city gates opened and a team of about a hundred people walked out. When they saw Feng Jiu"s people in the corner of the wall, astonishment surfaced on one"s face.
"Huh? Why are there a few outsiders here?"
"They look really good."
"Their cultivation seems to be very strong."
From the moment the city gates opened, Feng Jiu and the others opened their eyes, and when they saw the people dressed in crisp white clothes, their gazes also flickered slightly, and a flash of surprise crossed their eyes.
As those people were discussing, one of the two middle-aged men at the head of the group shouted, "Alright, all be quiet!"
As they spoke, the two middle-aged men looked at each other, walked towards Feng Jiu and the others, arched their hands and asked, "May I ask, where did you come from? And why are you resting under this city wall?"
Feng Jiu stood up, raised her hand and brushed the dust and sand staining her dress, and slowly said, "We came from afar, pa.s.sing by here. We wanted to find a place to rest, only that the city gate was not open, so we rested here."
Upon hearing this, two middle-aged men looked at each other, and one of them said, "Our Nightless City is the only city that"s in the area for hundreds of miles, so I think you all must have travelled a lot."
