498: Chapter 498 Strange City Residents

"Interesting."

Su Yun felt the shock to his Divine Soul and thought to himself.

This wasn't just a simple shock to the Divine Soul.

It was more like a test of will.

Judging by the power contained within it,

it seemed to be a form of Martial Dao Will.

"It seems to get stronger the closer one gets to the city gate.

But it's ineffective against me."

Su Yun said indifferently.

At this moment, his mind was clear and bright.

Under the impact of the powerful Martial Dao Will,

he remained as steady as a mountain.

Meanwhile, the Taixuan Elders behind Su Yun were pale.

Outwardly, they seemed fine,

but their Divine Souls were suffering a powerful assault.

It was as if they were being pummeled by countless fists.

They felt dizzy and lightheaded.

A few of the Elders could not withstand it

and could only turn back the way they came.

Soon, Su Yun looked straight at the plaque and walked to the gate of Martial Immortal City.

At the city gate, there were also Cultivators from various major forces who had just tried to open the gates.

They looked at Su Yun with suspicion and discussed:

"Can the Taixuan Holy Master really get in?"

"Didn't he just come over directly like us?

He didn't even do anything!"

"I don't think it's likely!

Although the Taixuan Holy Master is powerful,

he's still young and lacks experience.

Even we, the old Seniors of the Cultivation World, have searched for a long time and haven't found a way to enter.

Could he have discovered it?"

Su Yun ignored the conversation of those few Cultivators.

He discovered that after looking directly at the plaque and reaching the gates of Martial Immortal City,

the city gate in front of him actually vanished.

In other words, there was no need to open the gate at all.

"Fellow Daoists, I shall take my leave first!"

Su Yun's tone was gentle.

Immediately after, he entered Martial Immortal City.

Only one-third of the Taixuan Elder were able to follow Su Yun to the gate.

Thus, only Liu Chengfeng and a few other Elders followed him in.

After seeing Su Yun's figure disappear,

the Cultivators from the various major forces all widened their eyes:

"He actually passed right through the city gate?

Could this gate be a fake?

Otherwise, why couldn't we push it open?

Maybe we can just enter directly!"

"Let this old man try!

Don't fight me for it!"

"Move aside, I'm going first!

I've been waiting for ages."

Several Cultivators hurriedly imitated Su Yun,

acting as if the city gate didn't exist,

and slammed right into the gate.

Bang, bang, bang~

A powerful counterforce suddenly surged out.

Their heads immediately began to ring.

"Damn it, why doesn't it work for us?

This makes no sense!"

"Curse it, is this Martial Immortal City cursed or something?"

"It won't even let people in. Is it doing this on purpose?"

Several Cultivators grumbled and cursed.

At that moment, the gates of Martial Immortal City suddenly emitted a faint white spiritual light,

directly blasting the few individuals thousands of feet away.

"The method the Taixuan Holy Master mentioned was actually true!"

"I never would have thought of such a method!"

"There's no time to lose, let's enter the city quickly!"

Several Holy Masters waved their hands and led their Elders toward the city gate.

The other Cultivators from various Sects, large and small, in the Central Domain

could only watch helplessly as the Cultivators from the Holy Lands entered Martial Immortal City.

While they were still racking their brains for a way to enter... Inside Martial Immortal City.

"It's so realistic in here!"

Su Yun looked around.

He saw that on the main street,

it was bustling with activity.

Nearby vendors were constantly shouting:

"Buns for sale! One Medium Grade Martial Stone for a basket of Yao Beast meat buns!

They're delicious and can strengthen your physique. Don't miss out!"

"Martial Dao Secret Manuals, fresh off the press!

Guaranteed results!

If you can't learn it, I'll give you a full refund of your Martial Stones."

"Sir, come and take a look!

A broadsword just forged by the Juewu Workshop.

It cuts through iron like butter.

I guarantee that anyone who wields this blade will be victorious in every battle."

Many people stopped in front of these stalls to look, interact with the vendors, and haggle.

The air was filled with the scents of various spiritual foods.

From time to time, young girls dressed in colorful finery passed through the street.

A faint scent of rouge and powder drifted by.

The entire Martial Immortal City looked like a real city.

"Holy Master, have you discovered anything?

Things aren't looking good right now!

The law spiritual power within our bodies has become difficult to circulate.

Our strength has also been greatly suppressed."

Liu Chengfeng said with a solemn expression, sending a low-voice transmission to Su Yun.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"And what's going on with this city?

I haven't seen a single Cultivator.

Yet, any random person passing by

has such a powerful aura.

And are these people really alive?

Why does it feel so strange?"

"Indeed, it seems this place is very dangerous!

Holy Master, what should we do next?"

"Inquire about the situation, of course!"

Su Yun said directly.

Just as they were talking,

the eyes of the people passing by suddenly changed.

They all looked at Su Yun and the others.

It was as if some rule had been triggered.

A powerful aura coalesced on their bodies,

it seemed as if they would all attack Su Yun and the others at any moment.

Feeling the weight of countless cold gazes,

Liu Chengfeng said with some confusion:

"Hmm? Why are these people looking at us so strangely?"

The other Taixuan Elder also sensed something was wrong and looked around nervously.

After all, although most of them were in the Tribulation Crossing Realm,

within this Martial Immortal City,

the strength they could exert probably didn't even reach the Nascent Soul level.

In such a dangerous place,

they couldn't help but be extremely cautious.

"Let's stop using voice transmissions for now."

Su Yun's expression was solemn as he hurriedly waved his hand.

He also felt the hostility from the surrounding people.

What was going on?

It wasn't like this just a moment ago.

Why did it seem like they were about to attack all of a sudden?

Thinking of this, Su Yun began to reflect on their actions after entering the city.

They had only just arrived,

less than twenty breaths had passed,

and they hadn't done anything.

Except... "I see, so that's it!"

A sharp light flashed in Su Yun's eyes.

The only thing they had done just now was communicate via voice transmission.

And within the content of their communication,

the only thing that could have caused an anomaly was how he and the Taixuan Elders addressed each other.

Perhaps their voice transmissions,

under the influence of the special Laws within Martial Immortal City,

were audible to the people around them.

And combining that with what the city guard had said earlier,

about the trial to join the Martial Immortal Temple,

what kind of person would want to join the Martial Immortal Temple?

Someone who worshipped the Martial Immortal,

or someone seeking to become a disciple and learn.

Most importantly, someone who hadn't joined any other force.

That's why his conversation with the Taixuan Elders caused the surrounding anomaly.

Because Martial Immortal City likely rejected members of other forces.

In that case,

he would have to change his identity.

After all, it was very likely that this Martial Immortal City required them to play the role of people seeking to join the Martial Immortal Temple.

But there were so many of them in this group,

what identity should they adopt?

Su Yun quickly thought of one, then directly took out his holy master token and began inputting a message.

The principle of a message transmission was completely different from a voice transmission.

The probability of it being heard by those around them was very low.

Sure enough, after Su Yun sent the message, the people around them made no further moves.
