138: Entering the city, the gray donkey, Lao Hei, and the young man! (Please read on)

A fine mist hung in the air.

Before the mountain-like gates of Five Elements Immortal City, nestled within a vast mountain range, countless Cultivators' escape lights could be seen soaring in from afar.

There were also convoys of Human Race Cultivator' merchant guilds, either riding large flying boats or transporting goods on the ground, loaded by Yao Beasts several zhang tall, all heading towards Five Elements Immortal City.

Business in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range's three Sect territories was not easy to conduct these days.

Within this tens of thousands of li radius, Five Elements Immortal City, as a Holy Land for Loose Cultivators, absorbed Loose Cultivators from all directions every day, accumulating a vibrant Human Race presence over many years.

The number of Human Race Cultivator residing here also saw a stable increase each year.

At this moment.

Within the thick, thousand-zhang high clouds outside the city, inside the gray-black ominous clouds.

The figures of Golden Winged Spirit Gu and Blood Gentleman appeared.

"Fellow Daoist Golden Winged Spirit Gu, why be so cautious?"

"Didn't Daoist Su also say that we could bring a few Human Foundation Establishment Cultivators back?"

"She might be somewhat wary of this, but the auras of You Tong and Cang Sha in the Immortal City are both safe and sound within the city, which you and I can clearly sense."

"If there were any accidents, how could You Tong, a Core Formation Early Stage Demon Cultivator, not have met with trouble long ago? How could she still be alive now?"

"Look at how many Human Race Cultivator are rushing into this Five Elements Immortal City."

"In just this short time, there have been two auras of Human Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but unfortunately, we still can't openly feast; we still need to hide it."

Blood Gentleman looked down as a massive hundred-zhang long flying boat passed by. On the deck of that azure, mountain-like flying boat, there was an old Foundation Establishment Cultivator in a white robe, with an Early Foundation Establishment stage cultivation. His vitality was still quite strong, and the Qi and blood scent of his Foundation Establishment stage made Blood Gentleman's appetite stir.

The Human Race territory was still protected by Nascent Soul Stage Sect forces, as it had been more than ten thousand years ago.

The Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of the Hunting Spirit Basin and the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range had signed a contract, agreeing that Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators on both sides could not target Core Formation Stage Cultivators within their respective territories, and Core Formation Stage Demon Cultivators were not allowed to indiscriminately kill innocents in Human Race territory.

If Core Formation Human Race Cultivator entered the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range and caused too much slaughter, Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators could also act to kill them!

Conversely, if Core Formation Demon Cultivators wantonly devoured Human Race Cultivator in the Human Race territory of the Hunting Spirit Basin, the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators of the Twin Saints Sect and Core Formation Human Race Cultivator could also act to kill them.

Therefore,

It was precisely because of this contract that a tacit understanding existed between the Yao Race and Human Race Cultivator, preventing large-scale invasions into each other's territories to deal with low-level Cultivators.

"Mhm, mhm."

"Under my unique pupil technique, I indeed haven't sensed any other hidden Core Formation Cultivators."

"However, even so, we must not let down our guard. Perhaps we can inform Fellow Daoist You Tong about Daoist Su's attitude towards the Human Race territory."

"She disguised herself as a Human Core Formation Cultivator in this Five Elements Immortal City, and who knows how many Human Foundation Establishment Cultivators she has devoured. The truth will eventually come out; once it's exposed, if Core Formation Cultivators from the Twin Saints Sect arrive, wouldn't she be putting herself in grave danger?"

Golden Winged Spirit Gu's eyes flashed with a faint golden light as he looked towards Five Elements Immortal City from within the ominous clouds, speaking.

The auras of You Tong and Cang Sha were indeed on Qingyue Peak within the city.

On the adjacent North Xuan Peak, there were indeed two Core Formation auras: one Human Core Formation Early Stage Cultivator and one Early Core Formation stage Mysterious Tortoise Spirit Pet whose aura was somewhat weak.

A master and servant, both Early Core Formation stage, posed no threat to them.

Daoist Su's unusually abnormal attitude towards the Human Race territory at Jin Jing Demon King's residence could not help but make Golden Winged Spirit Gu suspicious.

Now that he was in Human Race territory, he could only feel at ease after personally investigating it. Otherwise, he would remain very uneasy, always feeling that something was not right.

"That's natural."

"You Tong told me before that she already plans to return to the mountains. The Human Core Formation Cultivator in the Immortal City has begun to suspect her. Once her true identity is confirmed, it will be impossible for her to stay in Human Race territory."

Blood Gentleman responded.

"Let's go, enter the city."

With that, the two Core Formation Cultivators, hidden within the ominous clouds, swept past the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Their escape lights were concealed by their Core Formation Divine Sense, making them difficult for even Cultivators of the same stage to detect.

When they approached the city's protective Formation, a crack opened in the tightly closed Formation, allowing them to easily enter the city.

"Oh?"

"I knew the Demonic Qi here was strong."

"See, I told you there was a problem, didn't I?"

"Did you see it just now?"

"Those two Core Formation Demon Cultivators just swaggered into the city. The city's third-tier protective Formation not only showed no reaction but even actively opened to let them in."

"It seems the Core Formation Cultivators here have been taken over by the Yao Race."

"With so many Human Race Cultivator here, aren't they living under the fangs and bloody mouths of the Yao Race every day?"

"We can't just sit by and do nothing! Grandfather sent us out to gain experience, broaden our horizons, lay a good foundation for future Core Formation, and also patrol this Hunting Ground along the way."

"Now we've actually found a demon's den."

"This counts as a merit, right?"

"Old Black, I think you..."

At this moment, just as Blood Gentleman and Golden Winged Spirit Gu swaggered in and turned into light, entering the city.

At the very end outside the city, a young man in plain clothes, who looked only fourteen or fifteen, wearing a straw hat and bamboo hat, with a foxtail grass in his mouth, was leading a gray donkey with his right hand. When he saw the two Core Formation Demon Cultivators' escape lights flying in from outside the city and entering, his eyes immediately widened.

There was no fear in his eyes; instead, a hint of excitement appeared.

"I can't do it!!"

"Am I supposed to fight with my head?"

"I say, my young ancestor, those are two Core Formation Great Demons! The city's protective Formation didn't react and even actively invited them in. What does that mean?"

"There's at least one more Core Formation Great Demon inside."

"At a minimum, conservatively estimate three Core Formation Great Demons. You're a Middle Foundation Establishment stage, and I'm an Early Core Formation stage Ox Demon who isn't good at fighting, only at running away."

"Old Black, I suggest we report it to the Grand Sect Master."

"At least two Late Core Formation Stage Cultivators need to come to capture them all without letting a single one escape."

The gray donkey beside him quickly shook his head, then transmitted his suggestion.

"Old Black, what you're saying isn't without reason."

"We'll send a message back to the Sect now. These Core Formation Demon Cultivators are truly arrogant!"

"How many Foundation Establishment Cultivators in such a large Human Immortal City must have become food for the Yao Race!"

"This young master wants to see how many traitors and scoundrels among the Human Race Cultivator in this city have become running dogs for those Core Formation Demon Cultivators!"

Yang Tianci's transmitted message was filled with Killing Intent.

"My young ancestor, are we still going in?!"

"Why don't we wait a bit?"

"It's not too late to go in after the Cultivators sent by the Grand Sect Master arrive; that would be the most secure."

The gray donkey beside him took a step back, tugging on the reins in Yang Tianci's hand, and quickly transmitted.

"Old Black, your escape speed is even faster than a Middle Core Formation stage Demon Bird, what are you afraid of!"

"Let's go."

Yang Tianci raised his hand, waved it, and cast a hand seal. The hand seal fell onto the head of the gray donkey named Old Black, immediately preventing Old Black from continuing to transmit messages or speak. He could only obediently be led by the rope, line up to pay Spirit Stones, and enter Five Elements Immortal City.
