Chapter 511: Blood Sacrifice, Arrival at Cloud City
In this way, Ye Changsheng continued to teleport with the help of the Sky Phoenix Wings, quickly shuttling between the border areas between the Jiaochi tribe and the Giant Spirit tribe.
When his own mana is consumed a lot, he will immediately use the Heavenly Spirit Liquid to restore his mana, and then continue to use the Heavenly Phoenix Wings to teleport.
This border area is too dangerous, and Ye Changsheng doesn't want to stay here for long.
…
As he was speeding along, in a place where a small tribe lived outside the Feiling tribe, their peaceful life was suddenly broken one day.
A group of powerful warriors with wings on their backs rushed into this tribe and began to slaughter any living creature they saw, regardless of gender, age or status.
Although there are many powerful monks in this clan, their numbers are insignificant compared to these winged warriors.
Under the leadership of some powerful beings, it didn't take long for all the resistance of this tribe to be completely broken. Except for a very small number of people who escaped through some secret channels, the rest were all killed by this winged army.
Not long after, several figures appeared in this area where blood was flowing like a river. Among them, one was white-haired and had a kind face, and the other had a sinister look and a cold aura.
These two people were the two combined monks from the Helian Merchant Alliance who appeared in Yuelong Cave that day. And the people accompanying them were naturally the old guys from the Feiling Clan Elders Council.
Looking at the blood that had gradually gathered into a huge lake under his feet, an old man from the Feiling tribe asked calmly, "Is this enough?"
After hearing this, one of the two members of the Helian Merchant Alliance observed carefully, nodded, and said, "That's enough. These sacrifices should be enough to launch a blood sacrifice."
Hearing this, several elders of the Feiling tribe looked at each other and nodded.
It seems that after completing this blood sacrifice, we can finally get rid of these troublesome guys.
The two combined monks from the Helian Merchant Alliance looked at each other, then flew to the sky above the blood lake and started to get busy.
They took out various materials and began to set up a formation altar on it. And many of the flying spirit warriors with wings on their backs also accepted their orders and began to work in the sky above the blood lake.
Not long after, a huge altar filled with a fishy smell and shrouded in blood-red mist appeared before everyone's eyes.
The altar emitted a hazy bloody light, and below it was a surging blood lake. In the blood lake, a large number of corpses were floating densely, and the end was as far as the eye could see.
The two combined monks of the Helian Merchant Alliance began to get busy. They stood on the altar, pinched their hands and chanted spells in a low voice, as if they were summoning something.
Not long after, the surface of the blood lake began to fluctuate, and at the same time, black gas began to emerge and condense on the lake. A sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling sounded from the black fog, resounding between heaven and earth.
Several elders of the Feiling tribe stared coldly at the blood lake with expressionless faces. They watched the two combined monks of the Helian Merchant Alliance cast spells quietly.
Soon, the altar in the center of the blood lake was completely covered by a bloody light, and the sound of obscure spells could be heard faintly from it.
Listening to the obscure incantation, the Flying Spirit warriors gathered around suddenly felt dizzy. They could not help but retreat backwards, away from the bloody altar.
The sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling continued for a long time, and the elders of the Feiling tribe frowned and felt a little uncomfortable.
When they were about to get impatient, suddenly, the chanting stopped without any warning.
"What's going on? Why can't I sense it?" an exasperated voice sounded.
Upon hearing this, the elders of the Feiling tribe looked at each other, and then a look of gloating seemed to flash in their eyes.
It sounds like what these two people from the Helian Business Alliance planned did not succeed.
To them, this seemed like good news no matter how they looked at it, so several of the Feiling tribe elders couldn't help but sneer.
On the altar in the center of the blood lake, the two combined monks from the Helian Merchant Alliance both had gloomy expressions and extremely ugly faces.
"We can't even sense the blood sacrifice, which means the person holding the Yang Flag has taken the treasure to a very far place, maybe even across the continent!" said the young man with a gloomy look.
"Not necessarily. Have you forgotten where this place is?" The white-haired old man suddenly said this after a moment of hesitation.
"You mean... the holy land of the Mayfly Clan?" The sinister young man asked in surprise, as if he suddenly thought of something.
"Yes, according to the information from our Chamber of Commerce, the holy land of the Mayfly Clan has a great origin. If that person has entered this place, it is normal that we cannot sense it!" The white-haired old man said lightly with a gleam in his eyes.
"Then what should we do? Do we have to make another trip to the Mayfly Tribe? The Mayfly Tribe is not like the Flying Spirit Tribe. They are not so easy to provoke !" The sinister young man suddenly smiled bitterly and said so.
"It is definitely not possible to break into the Mayfly Clan. They will never allow outsiders to enter their holy land. It seems that we still have to go back to the Chamber of Commerce, report the matter, and see what the adults decide!" The old man said after a little thought.
"Okay, let's do as you say. We have done our best in this matter!" The sinister young man immediately agreed.
Then, the two flew out of the altar and flew towards the elders of the Feiling tribe.
…
A few days later, Ye Changsheng stood on the top of a hill and looked into the distance. In the sky far ahead of him, there was a giant city floating motionlessly.
The city is located tens of thousands of feet above the ground. Not only are white clouds surrounding it, but the entire city is built with an unknown white material. When people look around, all they see is white.
The city is located at such a high place and is so huge that it is hard not to attract people's attention.
What is even more noticeable is that, surrounding the giant city, there are more than ten huge, unusually white spheres. Each one does not seem to be too big from a distance, but if you get closer, you can clearly see that they are huge monsters with a diameter of thousands of feet.
This is the third largest city among the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun, and it is also the most important military town for the Tianyun clans when facing the Jiaochi clan - Yuncheng!
The defense of Yuncheng is quite terrifying. The huge spheres surrounding the city are a kind of defensive killer created by the joint efforts of the Wan Gu Clan and the Shi Jian Clan among the thirteen clans of Tianyun.
It is said that even a cultivator at the fusion level would suffer a great loss if he were caught off guard against such a huge sphere.
Ye Changsheng stood on the hillside, looked at Yuncheng from afar for a while, then leaped and turned into a ray of light, flying towards the huge city.
When you get closer, you will find that the size of Cloud City almost blocks most of the sky in front, casting a vast shadow.
On the way, Ye Changsheng gradually began to see the escape lights of other alien practitioners from afar, as well as some flying magical instruments of various shapes such as beast carts and spirit boats.
As they got closer to Yuncheng, the number of alien practitioners continued to increase rapidly.
Obviously, these alien cultivators are not all from the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun. Before coming, Ye Changsheng also investigated the information of the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun.
Now when he looked around, he saw many cultivators from tribes other than Tianyun outside Yuncheng. This showed that the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun were indeed as the legend said, very friendly and tolerant towards foreign cultivators.
Ye Changsheng followed the direction of the flying lights and flew forward. Not long after, he arrived in front of a huge city gate of Yuncheng.
At this city gate, dozens of guards in uniform armor were standing on both sides of the gate with solemn expressions, and were checking something one by one for those who wanted to enter the city gate.
They checked very quickly and soon it was Ye Changsheng's turn.
The so-called "inspection" was actually just a few guards holding strange-shaped plates and scanning the unfamiliar faces.
At the same time, another person held something in his hand and took notes while listening.
Ye Changsheng knew at a glance that these guards were registering the facial features of every cultivator entering Yuncheng.
As he walked forward, he met a guard in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm, who was wrapped in armor and holding a magic plate. He glanced at Ye Changsheng.
At the same time, a guard nearby mechanically asked, "Name? Clan name?"
"Ye Changsheng, from the human race!"
Hearing his clan name, the guards of the Thirteen Tianyun Clans did not seem surprised at all. The guard in charge of registration left Ye Changsheng's clan name and life on a magic weapon.
Ye Changsheng saw that this person wrote "Eighth Level of the Upper Clan" next to his name!
This is his cultivation level registration. The eighth level of the upper clan is the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm.
The classification of levels for cultivators in the Leiming Continent is relatively unified, unlike the Fengyuan Continent, where each race has its own way of addressing them.
In the Thunder Continent, those below the Nascent Soul stage are collectively referred to as the lower clan. The three realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and Core Forming correspond to the nine levels of the lower clan respectively.
Above the Nascent Soul is the upper clan, and the late stage of Refining Void is the ninth level of the upper clan.
The cultivators in the fusion stage are called saints, and the fusion realm corresponds to the third level of the saints.
As for the Mahayana monks, the name used in the entire spiritual world is relatively unified, without too many fancy words.
"Is this your first time in Yuncheng, fellow Daoist?" At this time, the Yuncheng guard who was holding the magic plate and recording Ye Changsheng's appearance suddenly asked.
"Yes, I have long heard of Yuncheng's great name, and I have come here specially to visit you today!" Ye Changsheng's eyes flashed, and he said frankly.
"Then please wait for a moment, fellow Daoist. After I help you refine an identity token, you will be able to travel freely in Yuncheng with the token!" said the man.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir!" Ye Changsheng cupped his hands when he heard that.
Not long after, this person refined a jade token containing Ye Changsheng's simple information and handed it to him.
"There are some things I still need to tell you, fellow Daoist. Yuncheng is where all the Tianyun tribes live together. There are quite a few foreigners, some of whom have stayed here for hundreds or even thousands of years and are unwilling to leave. So in addition to some temporary residences in the city, there are also places that specialize in renting caves."
"It's just that the fees in these places are really expensive, but if you want to stay in this city for a long time, you still can't save this money."
"In addition, fellow Daoist, please remember one thing. You must not fight with others or use your spiritual power easily in the city. Otherwise, if you are discovered by the restrictions, you will be expelled from Yuncheng at best, or even have your magic power abolished at worst."
"Even the elders of our thirteen clans will not easily violate this." The Yuncheng guard said sternly.
"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist!" Ye Changsheng took the jade token, bowed and said.
"In addition to your simple identity information, the jade card also contains a map with places where you can rent caves and who you should find to rent caves. I have marked them out for you, fellow Taoist!"
"If you want to rent a cave, you can just look for it according to this map!" The man said with a hint of kindness in his voice.
Ye Changsheng was stunned after hearing this.
It turns out that the reason this guy was so enthusiastic towards him for most of the time was because he had some connection with the real estate agency?
A strange feeling surged in his heart, and he smiled and said, "Thank you for troubling me, fellow Taoist. I understand. If I need you, I will definitely look for you according to the map!"
Hearing his words, the Yuncheng guard was obviously very happy and moved aside to make way for him: "Daoyou, please come in!"
Ye Changsheng nodded and flew in. After walking out of the city gate, a wide avenue appeared in front of him. On both sides were shops of varying heights, and many people were coming and going on the street.
After looking around for a few times, he had a general understanding of the strength of the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun.
Although this cloud city is not as good as the Holy Fire City of the ancient Li people, it is almost as good.
There are a lot of strong people. Among the many big cities that Ye Changsheng has visited, Yuncheng ranks third, second only to Yubi City and Shenghuo City.
Although each of the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun is not very powerful and can only be regarded as a small clan, when the thirteen clans join forces, their strength can be regarded as a strong clan in the spiritual world.
Although they are still not comparable to the Jiaochi tribe as a whole, they are still capable of fighting.
If they join forces with the surrounding large tribes such as the Ye Tribe and the slightly weaker Baoming Tribe, they will be more than capable of fighting the Jiaochi Tribe.
The competition in the Thunder Continent is more intense than that in the Fengyuan Continent. Wars break out between these major clans almost all the time.
For the Thirteen Tribes of Tianyun, war is almost commonplace. They have fought countless battles with the Jiaochi Tribe.
Either the Jiaochi tribe captured a city, or the Thirteen Tianyun tribes took over a piece of land. Although there is relative peace between the two tribes now, Ye Changsheng knows that this peace will not last long.
Soon the Thirteen Tribes of Tianyun will once again erupt in a war with the Jiaochi Tribe.
