Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 280 Opening the City
“Boom…!”
When the first ray of sunlight of the day appeared between heaven and earth, a melodious bell sounded from within the Soul-Devouring Sect, spreading throughout the entire Nine-Bend Mountain Range and the entire Lonely City.
Today is the day to open the city!
Although the lonely city has no city walls, it has a city gate, and there is only one city gate!
Just to the east of the lonely city, there is a long river running through the north and south, connecting the two ends of the Nine-Bend Mountain. Looking from a high vantage point, the Soul-Devouring Sect's Nine-Bend and Twenty-Eight-Bend Mountain looks like a crescent moon or a bent bow, and the long river is the string!
At the same time, it is equivalent to the gate of an isolated city!
At this moment, there is an isolated city inside the long river, and outside the river there are crowds of people. Although it is still early in the morning, people are looking at the other end of the river with bright eyes.
Among these people, there are many caravans, tourists, independent cultivators, and even some officials from small countries . There are people of all kinds. Most of them come with a mission, either to settle down or to conduct an investigation.
There were also a very small number of people who came simply out of curiosity, wanting to see what kind of city the Soul-Devouring Sect, which had recently become famous in the small wasteland, would build!
As the melodious bell sound spread in all directions, the people outside the river clearly heard a solemn voice coming from the other end of the river.
"The auspicious time has arrived...Kaesong!"
Suddenly, the long river began to boil, and a layer of faint golden light appeared. The golden light began to rise, and finally condensed into a golden avenue in the center of the long river!
Everyone looked at this scene in amazement. Although many people had previously speculated that this long river must be extraordinary, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.
Because, most people feel at this moment that without that golden avenue, they would not be able to cross the long river!
Some people even saw through the details and said, "This Soul Devouring Sect is really generous. With such a strong moat, even a Jindan Great Perfection cultivator would find it difficult to force their way in!"
The moat here is not the kind of river . The moat of the cultivation city is itself a kind of magic array that can truly protect the city and resist powerful enemies!
Just as everyone was frightened, a figure suddenly dropped from the sky and landed in front of the lonely city. He stood at the other end of the golden avenue, facing everyone from a distance.
When everyone saw the figure clearly, they were all shocked and marveled that such a beauty could exist in the world.
This person was none other than Xu Qianxing.
Today, Xu Qianxing has her long hair tied behind her back, wearing a phoenix hairpin on her head and a gorgeous robe. She has cinnabar red lips and clear eyes. Her stunningly beautiful face has a hint of solemnity that was not there before.
Even though Xu Qianxing was not very old, she was once the young master of the Yu Jian Sect. Although she was completely changed because of Gu Xiaoxing later, the majesty she had condensed over the years still existed.
Xu Qianxing just stood there, bowed slightly to the people on the other side of the long river, and said: "Lord of Gucheng, Xu Qianxing, please... enter the city!"
When these words were spoken, most people on the other side of the river were visibly stunned.
"What did she say she was?" someone suddenly murmured.
"If I heard correctly, it seems that he was talking about...Xu Qianxing."
"Isn't that the young master of the Yu Jian Sect? Why did he come to the Soul Devouring Sect to be the city lord?"
"Haven't you heard? During the Sword Controlling Sect's Sword Competition, Xu Qianxing was with a man named Lin Xiaochi. Isn't this Lin Xiaochi the current Elder Gu Xiaoxing of the Soul Devouring Sect?"
"Yes, a fellow Taoist of mine saw it with his own eyes and told me about it. At that time, he guessed that it was because Lin Xiaochi had such amazing connections that the Body Refining Sect asked their young sect leader to be placed by his side. Now it seems that it was entirely because the ancestor of their Sword Controlling Sect had a sharp eye and invested in advance!"
"That's right. This lone elder first destroyed Qiqiao and then Lianti. I'm afraid even a Yuanying cultivator would find it difficult to do this. In the entire small wasteland, no one can suppress him anymore."
"Moreover, the Soul Devouring Sect today is not just the Soul Devouring Sect. It also has the shadow of the Sword Controlling Sect. The era when the three major sects once checked and balanced each other has completely changed...!"
"It's useless to think so much. Let's go into the city first and try to grab a good location to open a shop. This is the most practical way...!"
While chatting, people gradually stepped onto the golden avenue and headed towards the lonely city.
At the same time, a colorful auspicious cloud came from afar, approaching in an instant, floating in the sky outside the Jiuqu Mountain. On the colorful cloud, six women stood, each of them was beautiful.
Especially the one in the lead, she looked even more pretty and charming, wearing a green dress, giving people a fresh and lively feeling, especially the aura of her cultivation, which was even more terrifying, she was actually in the great perfection of Jindan!
The woman in green stepped forward, cupped her hands and said loudly: "Yunxiao Sect's Bi Xin, congratulations to the Soul-Devouring Sect... for opening the city!"
The people entering the city below stopped and looked up at the colorful clouds in the sky. Many of them were surprised. They all knew that the Soul-Devouring Sect was holding a city opening ceremony today. In fact, many of these people represented forces that would attend this ceremony.
But for a big sect like the Yunxiao Sect, they should usually be the last to arrive, but unexpectedly, they were the first to arrive.
This is enough to illustrate the attitude of Yunxiao Sect.
Xu Qianxing also looked up. When mentioning Yunxiao Sect, she inevitably thought of Qiao Yanran. Worry welled up in her heart. She just hoped that Sister Yanran was doing well at this moment.
At this time, a figure flew out from the square floating island above the lonely city. It was Master Bai. He returned the greeting and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Fairy Bi Xin. Please come in!"
Fairy Bi Xin didn't seem to be surprised when she heard what Master Bai said, but in fact, she was quite nervous coming here because of Qiao Yanran. However, she decided to make the best of it since she was already here. She just hoped that the rumored tyrannical Gu Xiaoxing would not make things too difficult for her.
Finally, Fairy Bi Xin smiled and nodded, and took her disciples and followed Master Bai to fly to the floating island.
The arrival of the Yunxiao Sect seemed to be a beginning. Soon, more and more representatives of various forces flew over. Among them, there were not only sects, but also some cultivation countries and even inherited families.
It can be said that almost all the forces invited by the Soul-Devouring Sect came to this event. It was because Gu Xiaoxing’s notoriety was too great, and they were afraid that if they didn’t come, they would displease the other party, and then they would destroy your entire family.
Let me ask you, even the Body Refining Sect has been defeated, is there anyone in this small wasteland who is more powerful than the Body Refining Sect?
Didn’t you see the attitude of the Yunxiao Sect?
"The Sword Controlling Sect congratulates the Soul Devouring Sect on opening its city!"
When this voice was heard, the people in the lonely city looked up again at the giant flying sword above them. Have the people from the Sword Controlling Sect really arrived?
