Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
At the sight of the majestic city, Qingfeng Li’s eyes emitted lights of disbelief. He had never been this surprised before.
The city’s Meteor Stone walls shined with Monarch’s Law scriptures, so powerful that it had reached the sixth stage of the spirit monarch level.
Even Qingfeng Li was only a third stage spirit monarch realm master. The Seal Scripts of order on the city walls exceeded his powers by three small realms.
Qingfeng Li could sense that, even with his powers, he couldn’t force his way through the city gate. The city gate’s talisman scripts of order could transform into a defensive array, meaning that it was impossible to fly through. He had to enter the city gate through its entrance at the bottom.
Qingfeng Li saw that the city walls were completely made of black Meteor Stones, the type of black that carried a sense of Devilish Energy and dark energy. Only Qingfeng Li could sense these energies, as he was very familiar with Devilish Energies. He had killed many devils in the past.
“The city is more dangerous than it looks,” Qingfeng Li thought to himself. If it weren’t for finding Xue Lin, he would’ve never entered the city.
Instead of flying into the city, Qingfeng Li and the others decided to enter the city by walking.
In front of them, was a long line of hundreds of self-cultivators, all lined up to enter the city. No one dared to cut the line or fly in.
Qingfeng Li channeled his Penetration Vision, his eyes emitting a golden light as he gazed toward the city gate. What he saw was a massive city gate thousands of feet tall. Written on it, were three daunting, majestic, characters saying ‘Five-Poison City”.
The sight startled Qingfeng Li as he didn’t expect for any city to be called such a name. Just the name itself was terrifying enough to startle anyone. There were definitely significant dangers hidden within the city.
What surprised Qingfeng Li the most, was the hundreds of thousands of self-cultivators lined up, squeezing their way through the city gate. Weren’t they afraid to die in the Five-Poison City?
Standing in front of Qingfeng Li was a set of twins. They were female self-cultivators. The one in the front had long hair, a tall figure, and a delicate face. The one behind her had short hair and looked very cute. She even had a couple of freckles on her cheeks.
Qingfeng Li reached out his palm and patted the short-haired girl’s shoulder, asking, “The Five-Poison City looks very dangerous. There are definitely poisonous matters inside. Why are you still going in?”
The short-haired self-cultivator jumped at Qingfeng Li’s sudden question, feeling as if she was under attack. As she turned to see a handsome young self-cultivator, her face ruddied from slight embarrassment.
The short-haired female self-cultivator said shyly, “Don’t you know about this place? I’ll explain. The Five-Poison City is the largest top tier city within 100 kilometers of here. It contains two top tier dynasties, so it is very safe here while everywhere else is dangerous. We came here to gather supplies so we could find monarch level treasures later.”
The long-haired self-cultivators turned around and tugged at the short-haired self-cultivator. She said, “Xiaomei, I told you not to speak to strangers. Why are you telling him so much? We need to enter the city quickly. The demonic wave is coming.”
Qingfeng Li nodded as he came to a sudden realization. No wonder so many self-cultivators wanted to enter the Five-Poison City. It was because a demonic monster wave was coming.
Qingfeng Li was ofcourse, very familiar with demonic monster waves. He had encountered the attacks of 100,000 demonic beasts back when he was in the Emerald Lake City. Although the wave was big, it
He had singlehandedly killed all of the 100,000 demonic beasts. This wave of beasts, however, seemed different from anything ordinary. Qingfeng Li could see that, even the spirit monarch realm masters at the front of the line looked terrified.
Although the long-haired female self-cultivator forbid her younger sister from speaking to Qingfeng Li, he still felt the need to talk to her a little more. He wanted to learn more about demonic monster waves and the city. Xiaomei seemed to know a lot about the place.
With a smile, Qingfeng Li reached out his hand and patted Xiaomei’s shoulder once again, asking her, “Miss Xiaomei, I wanted to ask. Is this demonic monster wave going to be massive? What are the levels of the evil beats? Why are even third stage spirit monarch realm masters entering the city in such a hurried manner?”
Xiaomei was clearly fond of Qingfeng Li, her face ruddying once again, as if she was intoxicated from wine.
Xiaomei disregarded her sister’s warning and continued to explain, “I heard that this time, there will be a sixth stage spirit monarch realm demonic beast that will lead more than a dozen spirit monarch realm demonic beasts. Plus, it will also lead a million generals and soldiers.
This time, they revolted in the Mystic Sun Realm, killing and eating any self-cultivator in sight. Many had already died. This is why we’re in such a hurry to enter the Five-Poison City. Its powerful defensive array could stop them.”
Her words startled Qingfeng Li. He couldn’t believe that there was such a violent revolt within the Mystic Sun Realm. A full million demonic beasts?
The million demonic beasts weren’t the problem. It was the Demon Emperor’s powers that posed a threat. It was a sixth stage spirit monarch realm master, three small realms higher than Qingfeng Li. Even Qingfeng Li would run for his life if he’d ever encountered such a beast.
Suddenly, Qingfeng Li felt relieved that they had decided to enter the city. Otherwise, he and the others would definitely have ran into danger on the outside.
The long-haired self-cultivator turned around once again, giving Qingfeng Li a warning glare. She then took Xiaomei’s hand and walked forward, stopping her from speaking to Qingfeng Li any further.
Qingfeng Li was speechless. Logically speaking, a handsome, powerful young man like him should attract all the ladies.
But the long-haired female self-cultivator’s aversion to him clearly meant that she didn’t like him. This surprised him greatly.
Qingfeng Li listened closely to the conversation between the long-haired female self-cultivator and Xiaomei.
The long-haired female self-cultivator glanced around and whispered to her younger sister, “Xiaomei, listen to me. The young man over there is called Qingfeng Li. Don’t talk to him. He’s a big devil.”
Xiaomei furrowed her brows and said, “Older sister, how could you call that handsome man the devil? I think he’s really nice. He even smiled at me.”
The long-haired beauty glared at Xiaomei and said, “Let me tell you. Not long ago in the forest, I saw Qingfeng Li kill San Yin, the emperor of the Water Yin Dynasty. He killed all of the emperor’s followers as well. And, he did it all with a single punch! He even swallowed the emperor’s soul. How is he not the devil?”
At the sound of her voice, Qingfeng Li was speechless. He had finally found the reason to why she disliked him.
