Chapter 187: Yunmeng City
It is less than a thousand miles from Tianning City to Yunmeng City. With the normal speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator flying with their magical tools, it would take only half a day to arrive.
However, with Feng Qingya and the others taking their time, it took them a whole day to get there.
They set off in the morning, and by evening, the magnificent outline of Yunmeng City finally appeared before Su Jingzhen and the others.
In the distance, Yunmeng City looked like a giant beast lying down.
There were countless streams of light flying towards it.
All of them were cultivators flying with their magical tools, and there were also many flying beasts landing and taking off.
These flying beasts were mostly tamed by the Treasure Gathering Pavilion or other merchant guilds, used to transport cultivators who didn’t want to fly themselves or couldn’t fly.
In Su Jingzhen’s understanding, this was the “airline” of the cultivation world.
And it was much faster than the real planes on Earth, and it was much cooler.
At this moment, above Yunmeng City, there were many colorful auspicious clouds floating.Below the clouds, there were many floating islands, dividing the entire city into two layers, one in the sky and one on the ground.
It was truly like a dream, with no shame in being called “Cloud Dream”!
Su Jingzhen and Xuening were both shocked, their faces pale.
He suddenly remembered that in the ancient civilization on Earth, there was also a “sky garden”.
But that was just for fun, and the real “sky garden” was right before his eyes, Yunmeng City!
“This is the handiwork of the immortal family, this is the grandeur of the cultivation world!”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, his emotions becoming more and more excited.
Just this Yunmeng City had already satisfied all his imagination about the cultivation world.
In his opinion, Linjiang City, compared to Yunmeng City, was like an international metropolis versus a small county town.
The future of Linjiang City was uncertain.
But at least before the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang branch was fully developed, it would be like that.
“I thought there would be some twists and turns along the way, but it seems they really did let their guard down around me.”
“We’ve really arrived at Yunmeng City safely.”
Looking at the magnificent city in front of him, Feng Qingya smiled slightly.
As she spoke, she had a hint of sentimentality.
Not long ago, she was a prominent figure in this city.
But now, she had to use some tricks to come back.
However, looking at Su Jingzhen and Xuening beside her, her expression suddenly became more heroic.
“If we can really achieve our goal this time, then in the future, you two can settle down here and even have a place of your own.”
Xuening and Su Jingzhen exchanged a glance, smiled slightly, and didn’t respond to Feng Qingya’s words.
“Miss, are we going straight in or…?”
At this time, Mu Lao reappeared, looking at the dreamlike Yunmeng City, with a hint of sentimentality in his expression.
It was just unknown what the future held for them this time they returned to their hometown.
Feng Qingya nodded lightly: “Let’s go back to my mansion.”
“Before we enter the third round of the Alchemy Master Conference, there’s no need to have any contact with them.”
“I don’t want to bother with them before the conference truly begins.”
After hearing Feng Qingya’s words,
Mu Lao nodded and led the way forward, heading towards the city gate of Yunmeng City.
No matter who it was, when arriving at Yunmeng City, they couldn’t directly fly in.
At the city gate, they had to land and enter the city on foot, showing respect to Yunmeng City.
This rule applied to everyone, even core disciples of the Wind family or other powerful forces.
After entering the city, cultivators below the Golden Core stage were not allowed to fly, which was a basic rule.
Of course, even Golden Core cultivators and above wouldn’t fly unnecessarily, as it would be showing off their strength.
At the city gate, there were many black-armored soldiers guarding.
Yunmeng City wasn’t controlled by a single sect, but was jointly managed by the four nearby sects, including the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and the Feng family.
The former Huayang Sect was one of the four sects, but it had already fallen.
Now, it was managed by the Spirit Sound Valley, Flowing Wind Sword Sect, and the Lingxiu Pavilion, along with the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and the Feng family.
In fact, on the Qingzhou continent, not only Yunmeng City, but also other major cities like Huifeng City, Liuli City, and the central Qingzhou Holy City, had a similar structure.
On the Qingzhou continent, even a Nascent Soul old monster couldn’t single-handedly control a city like this.
Of course, powerful forces like the Evil Moon Sect or the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, which spanned the entire cultivation world, had the ability to control such a super city.
But they didn’t want to become the target of everyone’s attention.
The soldiers maintaining the basic order of Yunmeng City were also composed of cultivators dispatched by these few parties.
However, this was mostly just for show.
A city jointly managed by several parties had enough backing.
Anyone could come and go as they pleased, but if someone wanted to cause trouble, these parties would respond with thunderous force, crushing anyone who dared to try.
Now that they had arrived, Feng Qingya wouldn’t need to hide anything.
Her smile even had an air of supreme confidence.
She was almost a legend in this city, and as soon as she walked to the city gate, she became the focus of all the cultivators’ attention.
“She’s back!”
“She’s actually back!”
“I thought she wouldn’t come back this time, since she didn’t have the resources for it.”
“But it seems she’s still coming back, has she compromised?”
“Hehe, anyway, Miss Feng is back, and this Alchemy Master Conference might be quite interesting.”
“…”
Feng Qingya and the others had just arrived at the city gate, and the originally lazy soldiers suddenly became alert.
Their gazes towards Feng Qingya were filled with expectation and ridicule.
However, no one dared to step forward and ask her anything.
Not long after Feng Qingya and the others appeared at the city gate, the news had already spread to all the forces that were paying attention to Feng Qingya.
Of course, Feng Qingya and the others were unaware of this.
Even if they knew, they wouldn’t have cared.
Even though Su Jingzhen had lived two lives, and Xuening had an extraordinary background, they couldn’t help but feel like curious children, filled with wonder towards the many things in the city.
They walked towards the central part of the city at a leisurely pace.
Along the way, Feng Qingya was the center of attention.
Before long, they stopped in front of a mansion gate.
The mansion gate looked quite luxurious, but when Feng Qingya saw the plaque above it, her expression suddenly turned gloomy.
The two guards standing at the gate also noticed their presence.
However, their mouths were curled up in a cold smile.
