Mortal Seeking Immortal

Chapter 729 Xianliu City

A few hours later, a majestic city with towering walls appeared at the end of the yellow sand. The three characters "Xianliu City" were engraved on the city gate.

When Ye Zhou saw this, his eyes showed a hint of joy, Xianliu City had finally arrived!

The speed of Ye Zhou and his two people could not help but speed up a lot, and the whole picture of Xianliu City gradually appeared in front of them.

The four walls of Xianliu City are all made of black square cloud stone about one foot long. The square cloud stone is very hard. Ordinary foundation-building monks cannot cause any harm to the square cloud stone with all their strength. Only monsters with extremely strong physical bodies can escape from the mountain. The nuggets are mined, so a piece of nibs is sold for a lot of money on the Kukai Continent.

To build such a magnificent city, a large amount of Fang Yunshi was needed, and the spiritual stones spent were sky-high. Ye Zhou couldn't help but marvel at the financial resources of the lord of Xianliu City.

A wide moat surrounds the majestic Xianliu City. The water in the moat is bottomless and glows with a faint green light. It is not an ordinary river.

There is a black suspension bridge built at the city gate. A group of foundation-building monks wearing black armor are holding magic weapons and patrolling back and forth on the city wall. From time to time, they release their spiritual consciousness to explore the ghost desert in the distance, as if they are wary of ghosts. The spiritual insects in the desert suddenly attacked.

As Ye Zhou and the two of them got closer and closer to Xianliu City, they also attracted the attention of the monks guarding the city in Xianliu City, and several rays of consciousness at the pill-forming realm fell on Ye Zhou and two people at the same time.

When Ye Zhou and the two were only a hundred feet away from Xianliu City, a loud voice sounded from the city wall: "Stop, those who come!"

A series of neat sounds of crossbows being loaded sounded on the city wall, and a row of huge spiritual crossbows were aimed at Ye Zhou and the two of them, who stopped in a hurry.

At this time, the voice continued to ask: "Who is coming? Why do you want to come to Xianliu City? Do you have a guide or proof of identity?"

The ghost-faced woman took off a black jade pendant from her waist, held it high and said to the monk on the wall: "This is my personal jade pendant. Please give it to the Lord of Xianliu City. He will know me after seeing it." identity of."

Ye Zhou glanced at the jade pendant in the ghost-faced woman's hand and saw that the front of the jade pendant was engraved with the character "Qi" and the back of the jade pendant was engraved with several unknown flowers.

As soon as the ghost-faced woman finished speaking, she saw a burst of spiritual power coming out of the city wall. After taking the jade pendant from the ghost-faced woman's hand, the man said politely: "Please wait here for a moment, I will present this object to the city lord." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the spiritual consciousness of the monks in the pill-forming realm retreating from Ye Zhou and the two of them.

After Ye Zhou and the other two waited here for a while, a burly middle-aged man wearing black armor appeared on the city wall.

The middle-aged man's eyes were deep, and his brows revealed the majesty of a superior.

This person's aura was restrained and his cultivation level could not be detected, but Ye Zhou knew that this person's cultivation level must be above the realm of pill formation.

When the middle-aged man appeared, the monks on guard duty on the city wall bowed their hands and saluted the middle-aged man respectfully: "City Lord!"

The Lord of Xianliu City nodded slightly to the monks, and his eyes fell on the ghost-faced woman. The monks stepped aside and continued to be on guard.

The mayor of Xianliu City showed a hint of excitement in his eyes, raised his hand and said to the monks behind him: "Let go of the suspension bridge!"

All the monks said in unison: "Yes!"

Several rays of spiritual power penetrated into a magic circle set up on the city wall, and the magic circle suddenly started to operate.

There was a loud bang on the huge black suspension bridge, and the bridge began to slowly lower.

In the blink of an eye, the suspension bridge suddenly fell to the ground. Just as Ye Zhou and the two were about to enter Xianliu City, several black shadows shot towards Xianliu City from the distant Guijue Desert.

Before these black shadows arrived, Ye Zhou could already feel a strong killing intent from them.

These people are the black-clothed monks who have been chasing the ghost-faced woman all the way here.

It's just that they are much more embarrassed at this moment than before, and two of them are even injured. It seems that they were attacked by spiritual insects in the Ghost Desert.

The ghost-faced woman glanced at the people behind her, with a cold light in her eyes. The Lord of Xianliu City, who was standing on the city wall, looked gloomy when he saw these people.

In an instant, these people were only a few dozen feet away from Ye Zhou.

Several people stopped and looked at the two ghost-faced women.

The leader of the group looked at the Lord of Xianliu City who was standing on the city wall rather fearfully, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

One of the monks in black looked at the ghost-faced woman with a fierce look in his eyes. The sword-shaped magic weapon in his hand emitted a black light, and he was about to take action.

At this time, a terrifying aura fell from the sky and landed on these black-clothed monks.

"Presumptuous! Who gave you the courage to be so presumptuous on our Xianliu City territory! Is it possible that the ghost tribe wants to declare war on our Xianliu City?!"

The lord of Xianliu City opened his mouth and reprimanded.

The monks in black were suppressed by the aura of the Lord of Xianliu City. They all groaned, with a look of pain in their eyes.

The black-clothed monk who was about to attack the ghost-faced woman suddenly fell to his knees, the magic weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and drops of blood flowed out from under his mask.

When the ghost-faced woman saw this, her eyes revealed a murderous intent, as if she wanted to take the opportunity to kill these people.

The Lord of Xianliu City seemed to have read the ghost-faced woman's thoughts, and said to the ghost-faced woman: "Come in quickly."

The ghost-faced woman had a look of reluctance in her eyes, but she did not dare to disobey the Lord of Xianliu City. She could only glare at the black-clothed monks and walked towards the lowered suspension bridge with Ye Zhou.

The black-robed monk in the lead showed an anxious look when he saw this. He looked up and said to the Lord of Xianliu City: "We are following the orders of the ghost clan's great elder to hunt this man. The Lord of the City openly protects this man. Does he want to declare war on our ghost clan?"

After these words came out, the Lord of Xianliu City had not spoken yet. A monk in a blue robe standing behind the Lord of the City changed his face and said sternly: "How dare you!"

A breath of the Nascent Soul Realm was released from this person and fell on the leader with a bang, pressing the leader to kneel on the ground in embarrassment.

At the same time, thousands of spirit crossbows arranged on the city wall turned their directions and aimed at these black-robed monks. As long as the Lord of Xianliu City gave an order, these black-robed monks would be shot into hedgehogs in an instant.

"Brother!"

The other black-robed monks all looked at the leader with concern. Their hands were already on their respective magic weapons, as if they were ready to take action at any time.

The leader raised his hand to stop the actions of the people behind him.

The Lord of Xianliu City looked at the leader and said, "Do you think I didn't let her kill you just now because I was afraid of your ghost clan?"

When the Lord of Xianliu City said this, the leader's eyes moved slightly, as if the Lord of Xianliu City guessed his thoughts.

Before he could speak, the monks standing on the city wall seemed to have heard some jokes, and they laughed one after another, looking back and forth at these black-clothed monks with mocking eyes.

The Lord of Xianliu City said, "I am not afraid of anyone in Xianliu City! Even if people from Xianle Sect, Liuhe Sect and Tiangong Palace come here, I am not afraid of Xianliu City!"

When the Lord of Xianliu City said this, the monks standing on the city wall showed excitement, and hundreds of breaths were released from these monks.

From these hundreds of breaths, Ye Zhou noticed that hundreds of breaths came from the Jindan realm monks, and he was shocked. He didn't expect that the strength of Xianliu City was so terrifying.

However, Ye Zhou thought about it again. If Xianliu City was weaker, it would have been breached by the Zerg in Guijue Desert.

The monks standing on the city wall waved their magic weapons and shouted loudly: "Long live Xianliu City! Long live the city lord!"

The leader showed a hint of nervousness in his eyes. He did not expect that Xianliu City was so strong. Just to guard one wall, hundreds of Jindan realm monks were sent. He stood up from the ground and whispered to the others: "Let's go."

Several black monks nervously put their hands on their magic weapons, as if they were on guard against the monks of Xianliu City attacking them.

Just as these black monks were about to leave, the city lord of Xianliu City said to the black monk in the lead: "Wait."

The black monk in the lead looked at the city lord of Xianliu City with a vigilant look, not knowing why the city lord of Xianliu City suddenly called him.

The Lord of Xianliu City said coldly: "Go back and tell your ghost clan elder that she is with me. If you want to take her life, I will accompany you at any time."

The ghost-faced woman saw that the black-clothed monks were about to leave, and said to them: "Go back from where you came from, otherwise don't go back."

The black-clothed monk in the lead looked at the Lord of Xianliu City, but the Lord of Xianliu City did not speak. He immediately understood what the Lord of Xianliu City meant, so he had to take the black-clothed monks and return from the original route in the Ghost Desert.

When Ye Zhou walked on the suspension bridge, he could not help but curiously release his spiritual sense to explore the moat under the suspension bridge.

When Ye Zhou's spiritual sense touched the surface of the moat, ripples appeared on the originally calm surface of the river, and several slender vines suddenly emerged from the river, following the spiritual sense released by Ye Zhou, and attacked the direction where Ye Zhou was. At the same time, a faint fragrance was released from the river.

There are spiritual plants growing in this river?

Ye Zhou was startled and quickly withdrew his consciousness.

When the vines were about to touch the suspension bridge, a black light was emitted from the suspension bridge, and the vines turned back to the bottom of the river. The ripples on the river disappeared and it returned to calm again.

In just a moment, Ye Zhou and the others walked down the suspension bridge, and the suspension bridge behind them quickly rose again, blocking the city gate.

As soon as he entered Xianliu City, a prosperous scene came into Ye Zhou's eyes. Pavilions and towers were lined up everywhere, and there were numerous shops of all sizes. Street vendors kept selling goods, and passing monks were like clouds.

This place did not look like a dangerous city on the edge of the Guijue Desert at all, but rather like a wealthy inland large city on the Konghai Continent.

The ghost-faced woman standing next to Ye Zhou seemed to have not expected Xianliu City to be so prosperous, and there was a touch of surprise in her eyes.

At this time, a gentle male voice came from behind the two of them: "Rong Yin."

Ye Zhou and the others turned around immediately, and saw that the Lord of Xianliu City had stood behind them at some point, looking at the ghost-faced woman with excitement.

The ghost-faced woman's eyes were slightly red, and she choked and said: "Uncle."

Ye Zhou, who was standing aside, was not surprised to hear this. The Lord of Xianliu City was willing to risk offending the ghost clan to save the ghost-faced woman. The relationship between the two must be extraordinary.

The Lord of Xianliu City took a few steps forward and walked in front of the ghost-faced woman and said: "Rong Yin, you have suffered. Since you have arrived in Xianliu City, your uncle will not let you suffer again."

"Let's go, stay in my house first and rest for a few days."

The ghost-faced woman nodded.

The Lord of Xianliu City looked at Ye Zhou and said: "This little brother, thank you for escorting Rong Yin to Xianliu City. You have been tired all the way here. Why don't you rest in Xianliu City for a few days, so that I can also hold a banquet to thank you."

Ye Zhou and the two hurried all the way to Xianliu City. There was not much spiritual power left in their bodies. Ye Zhou was looking for a place to restore his spiritual power, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

The Lord of Xianliu City told a Dzogchen Realm monk who was following behind him: "You entertain this little brother well for me."

The alchemy-forming Dzogchen monk nodded and said, "Yes."

After arranging Ye Zhou, the city lord of Xianliu City took the ghost-faced woman to the city lord's mansion in the center of the city.

After watching the two lords of Xianliu City leave, the alchemy-forming Dzogchen monk said gently to Ye Zhou: "My surname is Cheng, what do you call me?"

Ye Zhou cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Senior Cheng, my surname is Ye."

The monk surnamed Cheng smiled and said: "You are the distinguished guest of the city lord. There is no need to call me senior. You and I can be addressed as fellow Taoists."

Ye Zhou Congshan Ruliu said: "Fellow Daoist Cheng."

The monk surnamed Cheng stretched out his hand and said to Ye Zhou: "You have had a hard journey, fellow Daoist Ye, why don't you go to the inn to rest for a while."

Ye Zhou took steps to follow the monk surnamed Cheng, and the two walked side by side towards Xianliu City.

Along the way, the monk surnamed Cheng enthusiastically introduced the buildings in the city to Ye Zhou, as well as the locations of the major trading areas. Ye Zhou kept them all in mind and planned to go to Xianliu City to take a look at this place after he recovered his spiritual power. Is there anything he needs?

The two of them walked for about a quarter of an hour. The monk surnamed Cheng took Ye Zhou to a magnificently built inn and said to Ye Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Ye, we are here. This inn is the most luxurious inn in the city."

Ye Zhou looked up and saw three big characters written in gold powder on the plaque at the door of the inn: Xianyun is coming.

The monk surnamed Cheng said to Ye Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Ye, the name of this inn was written by the Lord of the City himself."

While they were talking, the innkeeper had already arrived at the door to greet Ye Zhou and the others.

The shopkeeper bowed his hands to the monk named Cheng and said, "Master Cheng."

The monk surnamed Cheng said to the shopkeeper: "This is the distinguished guest of the city lord. You must entertain him well and don't neglect him."

The shopkeeper looked at Ye Zhou with a look of respect in his eyes, and nodded in response.

The monk surnamed Cheng took out a transmission note from his arms and handed it to Ye Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Ye, I won't stay here to disturb your rest. If you have anything, you can come to me at any time."

Ye Zhou accepted the transmission note, and the monk surnamed Cheng said goodbye to Ye Zhou and left.

Ye Zhou followed the innkeeper into the inn. The two passed through the lobby. Ye Zhou came to the entrance of a relatively quiet courtyard in the backyard of the inn. The innkeeper said to Ye Zhou with an attentive look: "This courtyard is called Qingzhu Garden, and the environment is quiet. Very quiet, I wonder if Mr. Ye is satisfied?"
