403: Chapter 403 Harmonious Golden Crow Clan

The moment Cao Yang stepped out of the Void Realm gate, his gaze was like a torch, quickly scanning the surroundings.

Sure enough, he saw Sang standing quietly outside at a glance, waiting for his appearance like a sculpture.

Sang had not fled; given the way she had left in such a hurry earlier, Cao Yang had thought she'd run away.

Cao Yang walked quickly toward Sang, a joyful smile appearing on his face.

Sang also noticed Cao Yang's arrival; she turned around, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly into a faint smile.

“Little Cao, your treasure is indeed exceptional.” Sang's voice was crisp and pleasant, like heavenly music.

Her gaze fell upon Cao Yang, revealing a sense of admiration and recognition.

Cao Yang smiled modestly and said, “Thank you for the praise, Senior. It is enough that Senior is satisfied.”

Sang shook her head gently and said, “There is no need for modesty; your treasure is indeed extraordinary. In a few days, I shall return.”

After saying this, she did not hesitate for a moment, turning and departing toward the Innate Chaos Mulberry Tree at a speed of a hundred million miles per step.

Watching Sang’s receding figure, a surge of anticipation couldn't help but rise in Cao Yang's heart.

He didn't know if Sang would truly return in a few days, but judging by her tone and attitude, the possibility seemed very high.

Once Sang's figure had completely vanished into the Innate Chaos Mulberry Tree, Cao Yang snapped back to his senses and gave an order to the System: “System, deactivate the stasis state.”

As his words fell, the stiff bodies of the women instantly returned to normal.

At this time, Jinwu Lanxin walked gracefully to Cao Yang's side and said softly, “Brother Cao, our clan lands are guarded by a mysterious Formation, so we cannot fly in the air. We can only enter the city on foot.”

Cao Yang nodded with a smile and said, “Alright, then let's go down and enter the city on foot.”

Thus, Cao Yang and the women set out together on the road toward the city gates.

The sunlight spilled over them, reflecting their silhouettes and forming a beautiful picture.

“Sister Lan Xin, you're finally back!”

Guarding the city gates were two elegant and beautiful female Disciples of the Golden Crow Clan; they saw Jinwu Lanxin from afar, and bright smiles immediately blossomed on their faces as they greeted her warmly.

However, when their gazes swept over Cao Yang and the women behind Jinwu Lanxin, they couldn't help but show expressions of surprise. After all, the Golden Crow Clan rarely had so many guests visiting at the same time.

Jinwu Lanxin noticed the reaction of the guard Disciples; she nodded with a smile and then explained softly, “Yes, I'm back. These are all my friends; they have come specifically to visit our Golden Crow Clan.”

The Golden Crow Clan Disciples guarding the gate nodded one after another in understanding.

One of the female Disciples said, “Mm-hmm, Sister Lan Xin, you should go see your grandfather quickly! While you were away, the old gentleman was constantly thinking of you.”

Jinwu Lanxin's heart warmed, and she quickly replied, “Alright, I'll go right now.”

With that, she turned to Cao Yang and the women and said, “Brother Cao, let's go see my grandfather first.”

Cao Yang and the others also nodded one after another, following Jinwu Lanxin into the territory of the Golden Crow Clan.

Under Jinwu Lanxin's guidance, Cao Yang and the others slowly walked into Jinwu City.

As soon as they stepped into the city, they were shocked by the sight before them.

The architectural style of the entire city was unique, with red and gold as the primary colors, reflecting each other in magnificent splendor.

The red walls were like burning flames, and the golden roofs were like brilliant sunlight; the two complemented each other, giving off a feeling that was both solemn and full of vitality.

On both sides of the streets, golden mulberry trees were planted, their leaves swaying gently in the wind as if telling people of the city's tranquility and peace.

However, in stark contrast to this beautiful scenery, there were almost no figures to be seen on the streets, making it seem somewhat deserted.

Not only that, many shops in the city had their doors tightly shut but unlocked, with only a few still open.

Moreover, there were no shopkeepers guarding these open shops, as if they were completely unconcerned about thieves visiting.

Facing all of this, Cao Yang and the others couldn't help but feel very surprised.

Seeing this, Jinwu Lanxin quickly explained, “Our Golden Crow Clan has a small population, so the city looks a bit deserted. As for these shops, they actually don't need anyone to watch them.

Every shop has price tags set up; after customers buy items, they only need to place the Chaos Crystals in the designated spot.”

After hearing this, Ouyang Liuli couldn't help but nod in praise: “Mhm, Sister Lan Xin's Family is truly harmonious! This is practically like a paradise on earth.”

Cao Yang also chimed in, “Indeed, I didn't expect the Golden Crow Clan to leave their doors unlocked and homes open, trusting each other so much. It's truly rare!”

Seeing the current state of the Golden Crow Clan, a sense of pity couldn't help but rise in Cao Yang's heart; he truly found it a bit hard to bear making a move against such a seemingly harmonious and beautiful race.

After all, his original intention for coming to the Golden Crow Clan was to harvest those cute young ladies!

If he really made a move against the Golden Crow Clan, wouldn't he be destroying the beauty and peace here?

However, just as Cao Yang was hesitating.

Jinwu Lanxin shook her head with a smile and explained, “Actually, things aren't quite as perfect as you imagine. Generally speaking, the things sold automatically in the shops are usually treasures of ordinary value or things one has no use for. Treasures that are truly helpful for Cultivation are absolutely never placed in the shops.”

Continuing, she said, “Therefore, our Golden Crow Clan regularly holds Auctions and Exchange Meetings. In these events, important treasures are brought out, and everyone can obtain what they need through exchange or Auction.”

Hearing this, Cao Yang's heart eased slightly.

So that was it; although the Golden Crow Clan looked harmonious and beautiful on the surface, they actually had their own Law of survival and methods of transaction.

In this way, his impression of the Golden Crow Clan improved slightly.

However, Jinwu Lanxin also admitted that their Golden Crow Clan was indeed a very united and kind race, but this kindness was limited to their own clansmen.

In Chaos, most other Innate Chaos Races were the same.

These races were often very united and loving internally, supporting each other and progressing together.

However, once it involved external competition and the struggle for interests, they would also ruthlessly show their cold-blooded and merciless side.

For the benefit of the clan, they would stop at nothing to fight for treasures useful to the clan, even at the cost of their lives.

Suddenly, a golden-haired old man appeared on the path where Cao Yang and the women were walking.

The old man showed a kind smile and spoke, “Welcome, human friends, to be guests of my Golden Crow Clan!”
