Reentering the Starry City

In Fanxing City of Saint Talisman Domain, Zhou Yuan and his group slowly entered the city.

Zhou Yuan hadn't expected that this time, using the Teleportation Array from Jing Tian Domain, they would arrive in the forest near where he and Chu Sui had left.

It had to be said, this was truly a kind of destiny.

Zhou Yuan had left Fanxing City that day, and upon returning, he had actually come back to Fanxing City, which made Zhou Yuan himself incredibly emotional.

He was quite familiar with Fanxing City.

That year, when he first arrived in Fanxing City from Xingji City, he even met the beast hunters Pei Yuncai and Wang Fuhai.

Back then, Si Haipeng had pressured Pei Yuncai, wanting to get Pei Yuncai's sister, and it was Zhou Yuan who helped Pei Yuncai before leaving, directly crippling Si Haipeng.

Zhou Yuan had a deep impression of Fanxing City: forced marriages, beast fighting, re-evaluating Talisman Master, and so on.

These events, if not vivid, at least left him with a deep impression of Fanxing City.

Zhou Yuan's face was pale, and his soul still felt waves of stinging pain; the after-effects of the Time Destruction Technique would likely last for several more days.

However, he wasn't worried about safety; not to mention the people around him, he still had quite a few Talismans in his hand.

Leng Qingxue was very curious about Fanxing City, and when she heard Zhou Yuan mention the forced marriage, she couldn't help but chuckle.

She could already imagine how disheveled Zhou Yuan must have been at the time.

Fanxing City was bustling with activity, and the entry of Zhou Yuan's group didn't attract much attention.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, Fanxing City is a good place. The three of you can absolutely choose to settle down here and slowly develop the Bai Zhen Sect!"

Zhou Yuan said to Zhuo Xinzi with a sincere attitude.

Then he took out a porcelain bottle and presented it to Zhuo Xinzi.

The moment Zhuo Xinzi saw the porcelain bottle, his eyes lit up. He didn't stand on ceremony and directly took it.

He opened it and took a look: fifteen six-rank qi and blood pills, and five Seven-Rank Qi and Blood Pills!

He looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise, because this far exceeded what Zhou Yuan had originally promised him.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhou. After hearing your introduction earlier, this place is indeed an ideal location!"

Zhuo Xinzi cupped his fists at Zhou Yuan, his eyes filled with gratitude.

With these Qi and Blood Pills, he could at least increase his Lifespan by over a hundred years.

With that much time, it would be enough for him to pass on all his skills to Song Yongchang and Wu Qianqian!

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhuo, with your abilities, as long as you don't provoke the major families in Fanxing City, everything will certainly go smoothly."

"In the future, I might still need to trouble Fellow Daoist Zhuo with something."

Zhou Yuan wasn't being polite; he might truly need a top-tier Formation master like Zhuo Xinzi in the future.

The reason he gave Zhuo Xinzi extra Qi and Blood Pills was to foster a good relationship with him.

Zhuo Xinzi pondered for a moment, then took out a Jade Slip and presented it to Zhou Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, this Jade Slip is specially made by this old man. After crushing it, it can transmit sound over ten thousand miles."

"I probably won't leave the Saint Talisman Domain in the future. If Fellow Daoist Zhou truly needs my help, crush this Jade Slip, and I will certainly sense it."

"At that time, this old man will personally come to find Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

Zhuo Xinzi naturally wanted to befriend Zhou Yuan; not to mention his combat power, his character alone was trustworthy.

Zhuo Xinzi knew very well that even if Song Yongchang and Wu Qianqian were given a hundred years, they would at most barely be able to enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

This cultivation level seemed strong, but it might not be enough for self-preservation.

Befriending Zhou Yuan was also a very good choice for Zhuo Xinzi.

Zhou Yuan reached out and took the Jade Slip, cupped his fists with Zhuo Xinzi, and the two groups parted ways.

"Zhou Yuan, if you had tried to keep Zhuo Xinzi, he would probably have been willing to stay by your side. It's such a pity to let him go!"

Zi Ying spoke softly, her words filled with surprise. She hadn't expected Zhou Yuan to let Zhuo Xinzi go so easily.

Leng Qingxue, Chen Wenping, and Zhu Zi also nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with Zi Ying's view.

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly and said calmly, "The time isn't right. Forcibly keeping someone by your side only leads to disloyalty, which is meaningless."

"Don't underestimate the Saint Talisman Domain; the living environment here might not be better than in Jing Tian Domain!"

"For just the three of them, wanting to firmly establish themselves in Fanxing City is not an easy task."

"Let them suffer a bit first, then I'll contact them later, and things will fall into place naturally!"

Zhou Yuan's words made Zi Ying's eyes widen. She then glanced at Zhou Yuan and muttered, "As expected, cunning enough!"

Although her voice was low, the people around her heard it clearly.

Zhou Yuan directly gave Zi Ying a glare, while Leng Qingxue chuckled softly.

As the group slowly walked through the city, Zhou Yuan looked at the familiar streets, a slight curve forming on his lips, feeling quite at home.

He had stayed in Jing Tian Domain for so long, yet for some reason, he felt no sense of belonging there.

He didn't know why himself; he could only say it was fate, nothing else could explain it.

"Brother Zhou Yuan, you mentioned earlier that the beast fighting here is quite interesting. I'm very curious. How about we go and see it together?"

Leng Qingxue's eyes sparkled. She was truly curious, as she had never seen it before.

Zi Ying, Chen Wenping, and Zhu Zi also nodded repeatedly, clearly having the same thought.

Actually, it wasn't that they hadn't seen beast fighting, but they were quite curious about the human-beast fighting that Zhou Yuan had mentioned.

In Jing Tian Domain, there was no such industry as beast fighting.

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly and said, "It's simple to see that, but today's most exciting events should already be over. It won't be too late if we go tomorrow."

"It's almost evening now, let's find an inn to rest first, and go see it tomorrow morning!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingxue and the others all nodded, agreeing with Zhou Yuan's suggestion.

Soon, the group found an inn and rented a courtyard. There were six rooms in total, enough for their five people to live in.

This courtyard was not cheap for one night, costing fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Whereas an ordinary room only cost two Low-Grade Spirit Stones per night.

The five returned to the courtyard, and after the attendant left, Zi Ying smiled and said, "We're being watched. It seems we won't be getting a peaceful night's sleep tonight!"

Zhu Zi chuckled and said, "No worries, just a few petty thieves. I'll stand guard tonight!"

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly and teased, "Why stand guard? Just let them in!"

"We've come to a new place, and someone wants to provide food and lodging. If we don't accept, wouldn't we be letting down their good intentions!"

As soon as Zhou Yuan finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter, clearly not taking the trailing individuals seriously.

These people had been following Zhou Yuan and his group ever since they entered Fanxing City.

They were clearly eyeing them as new 'fat sheep' because they were unfamiliar faces.

However, this time the 'fat sheep' were too big. It was just unknown if they had such a good appetite?
