160: Chapter 160 Nangong City

Nangong City.

Three massive characters were engraved upon the city gate.

The city before him possessed a massive, retro-style city gate.

The gate spanned across a wide highway.

On both sides, neon lights flickered.

It was a fusion of technology and the classical.

Nangong City was a city established by Ancient Martial Arts Families, primarily the Nangong Clan.

During the early stages of the Great Interstellar Migration, the Nangong Clan and other Ancient Martial Arts Families made significant contributions.

Because of this, the United Government granted them special permission to build this unique city.

This city was not small.

Currently, nearly three million people resided there.

At present, the global population after the migration had already surpassed thirty billion.

To be honest, a city with a population of three million wasn't considered particularly large.

Nevertheless.

This city was actually quite famous.

Firstly, it was a city founded by martial arts families; secondly, a Legendary of the Life and Death Realm resided here.

The reason this city could be named after the word 'Nangong' was also due to this Legendary.

Nangong Qing.

A Life and Death Realm expert who achieved her status during the era of the Great Interstellar Migration, she was a world-renowned Prodigy even before the migration.

It was said.

Nangong Qing's cultivation had already reached the third level of the Life and Death Realm, and she was even on the verge of entering the fourth level.

Perhaps in the entire 357 Star Sector, the third level of the Life and Death Realm was only equivalent to a low-tier Legendary.

But for the Blue Star Civilization, the third level of the Life and Death Realm was already an extraordinary top-tier powerhouse.

One must know that, aside from the known Bai Zhu who was at the eighth level of the Life and Death Realm, the highest current cultivation was only at the fifth level.

And now, since Nangong Qing was said to be about to achieve a Breakthrough to the fourth level, one could imagine how high her status was.

Today's Nangong City was incredibly bustling.

For this was the moment of the marriage alliance between the Nangong Clan and the Li Tang Clan.

The Li Tang Clan was a martial arts Family from another city.

Years ago, because the Li Tang Family produced a Life and Death Realm expert, they were unwilling to remain subordinate to the Nangong Family and chose to live in another city.

Now, this was the first marriage alliance between the two families.

Both sides attached great importance to it, and the scale was magnificent.

The entire Nangong City held a grand banquet.

On this day, as long as someone came and offered a word of blessing, they could enjoy a whole day of fine food.

People from the surrounding areas flocked there in droves.

Especially those Martial Artists aspiring to achieve something on the Dao of martial arts, they traveled thousands of miles to come.

Eating and drinking were secondary; the main reason was the rumor that the two Legendaries, Nangong Qing and Li Tangmu, would both make an appearance.

A Martial Artist's cultivation is found in their every move and action.

And the Life and Death Realm was even more like an Immortal; every gesture contained the Dao and principles of heaven and earth.

It was normal for Martial Artists to cultivate by observing heaven and earth; if they could personally witness a master of the Life and Death Realm, it was not only an honor but also offered the possibility of comprehending something from their every move.

Consequently, people of the Jianghu arrived in an endless stream, and even some travelers from other civilizations appeared out of curiosity.

Ji Yebai looked at the three massive characters atop the city wall and smiled.

Even without deliberately spreading his Divine Sense, he could clearly feel that familiar aura within the city.

Ji Yebai lifted his foot and stepped forward, following the heavy traffic as he leisurely walked into Nangong City.

The entire city was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Neon lights flashed, and various models of flying cars constantly arrived and departed.

The Nangong Family held the gathering atop the central hill.

It possessed an extremely vast area.

On one hand, it could showcase their status; on the other, it could accommodate as many Martial Artist friends as possible.

The Flowing Banquet would be held for three days and three nights.

And the people in the city could come to eat at any time.

Entry and exit were free.

"Brother, where are you from?!"

"I am 'Iron-Forging Hand' Qian Mohan. I didn't notice your footsteps, brother; it seems you are also quite extraordinary in martial arts!"

Just as Ji Yebai sat down, a man dressed as a Martial Artist nearby looked over in surprise.

He only noticed someone was there the moment Ji Yebai sat down, which startled him slightly.

"Just some flashy but useless moves, not worth mentioning!"

Ji Yebai smiled gently.

The moment he sat down, he withdrew from the state of Unity of Heaven and Man and blended into the aura of the Mortal World; thus, this man was able to notice him.

"Flashy but useless moves? Brother, you're being too modest!"

Qian Mohan raised an eyebrow at his words.

His own strength was quite formidable, and combined with the powerful martial art of the Iron-Forging Hand, his reputation was very prominent among First-Class Martial Artists.

Although he was eating and drinking just now, he had kept his aura and Divine Will in an open state.

This could be seen from those with insufficient strength who subconsciously avoided him. Yet this person beside him had not only sat down calmly and composedly, but more importantly, he hadn't even known when the man arrived.

Qian Mohan frowned slightly.

He swept a suspicious glance over Ji Yebai.

Thinking back, he had only noticed Ji Yebai sitting down; he knew absolutely nothing about his movements before that.

The seats were placed there; for a person to sit down, there must be at least three actions.

First is approaching, second is bending, and third is sitting down.

Although these three actions are continuous.

It shouldn't be to the point where he could only perceive the action of sitting down!

Could he be a master!?

Qian Mohan watched Ji Yebai intently.

Ji Yebai smiled slightly, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and leisurely took a bite of food.

Under Qian Mohan's puzzled gaze, Ji Yebai slowly poured a cup of wine.

"Cheers!"

Ji Yebai raised his cup, smiled at Qian Mohan, and then drained it in one gulp.

Qian Mohan hesitated for a moment before also raising his cup and drinking.

After thinking for a moment, he gave a carefree laugh.

Regardless of whether he's a master or not.

As long as he has no ill intent toward me, it's fine!

Besides, this is the Nangong Family's territory.

With the Nangong Family's grand celebration today, anyone who comes has to weigh their options carefully.

Even if someone had ill intent toward him, they wouldn't possibly strike in such a setting.

Having thought this through, Qian Mohan shrugged and raised his cup to return the toast.

"Brother, we were fated to meet today. Come, let's have a drink!"

Qian Mohan grinned and downed it in one go.

Ji Yebai still smiled gently, raised his cup, and glanced toward the mountain.

Then he drank the cup of wine.

An aura rose from the mountain.

It was extremely vast, yet the many martial arts experts present didn't notice it at all.

But in Ji Yebai's eyes, this aura was exceptionally obvious.

Only...

It seems... there's a bit of a problem!

...

At the same time.

At the foot of the mountain, a majestic and towering aura slowly approached like something that could blot out the sun.

Suddenly, the wind in the sky began to turn gentle.

A slow breeze blew, continuously brushing against people's faces.

Everyone felt this aura that seemed to cover the sky.

"Wind!? This... is the Li Tang Wind God arriving?!"

Qian Mohan stood up abruptly.

His expression was one of disbelief.

Li Tangmu of the Li Tang Clan, at the first level of the Life and Death Realm, practiced the 'Absolute Blade Wind God Record'; in the Dao of wind, no one could surpass him.

Although there had long been rumors that Li Tangmu would come, no one expected him to appear like this.

Plainly and simply, he had appeared.

In an instant, everyone in the area stood up, their eyes shining as they looked forward in anticipation.

That was the Life and Death Realm, the strongest known cultivation Realm in the Blue Star Civilization.

Some were full of adoration, while others had faces full of bliss.

Such a figure was far beyond the level they could interact with; even getting a single glance was a gain.

Soon.

Everyone witnessed an unforgettable scene.
