Chapter 2142 - 2142: To Xuhai City 3
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xuhai City was once a bustling hub during a specific era. It played host to a diverse array of individuals, each with their unique levels of cultivation. Notably, the city was overseen by past City Lords who maintained order and governance. However, the city’s fortunes took a downturn due to a series of conflicts, ultimately leading to its downfall. Despite this, a few resilient souls persisted, eking out a living within its boundaries.
Subsequently, members of the Undead Race ventured into Xuhai City. The existing inhabitants gradually vacated the area, ceding control to the Undead Race. Though the Undead Race’s presence was relatively modest, their influence deterred other cultivators from venturing into the city.
As time went on, Xuhai City was left abandoned, only to be revitalized when the witches harnessed their mystical arts to subdue the Undead Race. The Undead Race’s remains were interred beneath the city, quelling their malevolent presence.
A shadow was cast upon Xuhai City, and its once-thriving streets were rendered desolate. Still, over the last century, disciples from various sects found themselves pa.s.sing through the area.
However, the city’s desolation led to an increase in demon beast activity in its vicinity. These creatures, drawing upon the city’s latent spiritual energy, grew exceptionally formidable. This newfound strength made them valuable to cultivators; the demonic cores and other components they possessed were highly sought-after. Consequently, many sects, including the esteemed Supreme Sect, issued missions centered around Xuhai City through their respective Bounty Pavilions.The origin of this chapter"s debut can be traced to /n/o/vel/b/in.
In recent times, though, a peculiar trend emerged. Those disciples who ventured into Xuhai City failed to return. Along the journey, the leading member of the Fist Sect’s disciples elucidated the circ.u.mstances surrounding Xuhai City. As a result, Gu Chaoyan and Di Hongyun became well-versed in the city’s history and present state.
And so, this painted a vivid picture of what Xuhai City had become.
As they approached the city, a palpable sense of desolation greeted them.
“Let’s descend. Sword Kinesis Flight won’t serve us within Xuhai City,” the Fist Faction’s lead disciple announced.
Following the instruction, nearly all the disciples disembarked.
Numerous array formations rendered Sword Kinesis Flight unusable in specific zones, a fact they were acquainted with from previous encounters. Rather than invest time in dismantling these formations, they opted to forgo their typical solution and instead prepared to traverse the distance on foot.
Horses were an unavailable luxury, obliging them to walk.
With the desolation palpable and the absence of many fellow disciples raising caution, the group proceeded with trepidation, ever-watchful for any sudden appearance of the Undead Race.
As Gu Chaoyan ventured forth, she couldn’t help but sense the potent magical energy pervading the vicinity, a likely factor contributing to the proliferation of demon beasts.
“Presence detected,” the Fist Sect’s lead disciple alerted his comrades.
Upon closer inspection…
Only then did they ascertain the presence of three disciples hailing from the Moon Sect.
The Moon Sect was well-known to them.
These three disciples all held the esteemed status of Paragon Warriors, signifying they might be undertaking a mission or in search of fellow Moon Sect disciples.
Given the amicable relations between the Supreme Sect and the Moon Sect, the disciples of the Supreme Sect sought to engage their Moon Sect counterparts in conversation.
However…
The Moon Sect disciples appeared indifferent, their focus elsewhere, and they soon departed.
The neglected Supreme Sect disciples were left with nothing but murmurs of frustration directed at their Moon Sect counterparts.
“Xuhai City lies ahead. Vigilance is imperative,” the lead disciple cautioned.
Crossing into the city’s bounds meant venturing directly into the territory controlled by the Undead Race.
The Undead Race was called the Undead Race, because it was said that they had no skin but only flesh and blood, which was quite scary..
