Chapter 459: Chapter 202: Encountering Zhao Houcai Again, Unlocking a New Talent!

A vast valley shrouded in white mist.

The environment is beautiful.

A waterfall flows.

From all around come the sounds of spiritual birds chirping, creating a harmonious scene.

Occasionally, a demon beast runs through the forest.

Jiang Shi furrowed his brow, his body leaping across the trunks of trees, quickly landing on a small hill deep in the valley.

"My lord!"

The Eight Great Zodiac Gods’ faces were deathly pale, their eyes widened, looking at Jiang Shi’s body.

Almost everyone was severely injured, barely surviving.

The teleportation array’s destination was too erratic.

When they were teleported over, they appeared several hundred meters in the air, plummeting straight to the ground from that height. Even with their cultivation, they almost didn’t survive.

"This should indeed be Qilin City, but we’re currently located in a mountain forest outside the city, at least a few hundred miles from the city itself."

Jiang Shi responded, looking at the eight individuals, asking, "How are you all doing?"

"We shouldn’t die, it’s just internal injuries that need recuperation."

Chen Long said with a bitter smile.

"That’s good, let’s first head to Qilin City. Once inside, we’ll find a way to get you some healing elixirs, which should speed up your recovery."

Jiang Shi said, "By the way, do you know anything about Qilin City?"

"Well..."

Chen Long and the others exchanged glances.

"We do."

Finally, Chen Long slowly nodded, saying in a low voice, "Qilin City is located in the Northern Domain of the Thirty-Six Alliance. We only fled to the Southern Domain because we couldn’t survive in the Northern Domain."

"So you’re quite familiar with this place then?"

Jiang Shi’s eyes glinted.

"Not exactly familiar, just been here many times."

Chen Long carefully responded, "Qilin City is under the dominion of the Golden Light Sect and White Cloud Temple and is one of the eighteen main cities of the Thirty-Six Alliance. It’s relatively peaceful and harmonious, similar to the commotion in White Dragon City, but only relatively so. Due to the lack of a large faction’s control, medium-sized factions are scattered throughout Qilin City."

"Is there any place that sells elixirs or spirit grass for nurturing the soul?"

Jiang Shi inquired.

"Qilin City has the largest trading market called Midnight Ghost Tower, where it’s said you can buy anything."

Chen Long replied.

"Midnight Ghost Tower?"

Jiang Shi frowned.

"Yes, it’s an extremely secretive black market with expensive items from all over the world, including many royal forbidden items. My brothers and I have entered once, and it’s very bustling inside, with almost everything you could need. However, Midnight Ghost Tower requires a token to enter and is only open once a month." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Chen Long spoke, pulling out a delicately crafted purple jade pendant from his body, "This is the invite token to Midnight Ghost Tower, with which you can enter."

Jiang Shi took it and examined it repeatedly.

"Alright, where is the Midnight Ghost Tower held? What date does it start each month?"

"It’s held promptly on the 15th of every month. Just take the token to Wu’s Pawnshop in Qilin City, and someone will lead the way."

Chen Long replied.

"The 15th? Counting the days, there are still ten days?"

Jiang Shi said.

"Yes."

"Alright, then find a place to stay for these ten days. Can you all walk?"

Jiang Shi asked.

"Rest assured, my lord, we can."

Chen Long and the others nodded.

"Since that’s the case, let’s head into the city first."

Jiang Shi said.

···

Exiting the dense forest.

Outside was a vast plain.

Not long after walking along the plain, they reached a wide official road.

On the official road, people came and went, and carriages moved along.

It appeared quite bustling.

Far quieter than White Dragon City.

Three batches of chestnut-red horses moved in single file along the official road. Atop them sat three figures of significant cultivation; apart from the sword-bearing girl on the left, who chatted incessantly, the two in the middle and to the right remained silent and sullen.

Especially the figure in the middle, whose hands clenched, eyelids twitched violently, several times wishing to rebuke but stopping himself, ultimately only able to sigh and cover his forehead.

"You little brat!"

This daughter indeed couldn’t be wanted.

All along the way, she hasn’t shut her mouth once.

"Sister apprentice, perhaps you should talk less."

The nearby Shangguan Yun couldn’t help but smile wryly and said.

"Don’t worry, I know my limits. We’re not saying anything wrong, just chatting about the current world situation, what’s wrong with that? Besides, who on this road isn’t talking about it? Everyone is discussing this matter."

Zhao Feiyan waved her hand, looking unconcerned, and said,

"A war between the Thirty-Six Alliance and the Demon Path Alliance is inevitable. It’s an ironclad fact. The Demon Path Alliance, led by the Celestial Demon Sect, has long eyed the Thirty-Six Alliance, seeking to swallow it. I believe the Thirty-Six Alliance, with its disunity and internal strife, won’t be able to withstand it. They’re also splitting their forces to combat the Evil Spirits and Demon Beasts. Once the Demon Path Alliance launches a full-scale invasion, the Thirty-Six Alliance will surely crumble, and collapse is just the lightest consequence."

Shangguan Yun remained silent for a while and then said, "Regardless, such big matters are too far from us. We should just focus on making our own way first."

"Easy for you to say, but when the war breaks out, there won’t be any time for making our own way."

Zhao Feiyan sneered and said, "Don’t forget, the Thirty-Six Alliance is notorious for conscripting soldiers. Every year, countless are drafted to deal with Evil Spirits and Demon Beasts. If war breaks out, who knows how many people will be conscripted?"
