Sigh...
Hey, this Yanging is really something.
According to Ancestor Myu and the other elders, this place was one of the most desolate qi-zones in Yanging.
It's said the Capital was 5 times richer than here.
So imagine how wonderful this Yanging is within the lower realm?
Poor Tah Province. It was just not fair
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The group traveled for a while longer, moving past mountains and hills, until they finally reached a gathering of people standing before another group of well-decorated guards.
"Everyone, remember... We are no longer in the Tah province. So be cautious."
They had a lot of enemies in these parts.
Like Bailong, Yanging people also undermined and looked for trouble with them at every turn when they could.
Look!... Just up ahead, it was already happening.
Several guards were making things difficult for their Tah people.
It was funny to say that even with the troubles, these guards knew they had to let them through before the Competition began in the Capital.
Yet, their bullying never ceased.
Ancestor Myu, Sect Elder Leisho, and the others frowned.
What they didn't want was to reveal their newly improved strengths so soon.
Even if they weren't in the competitors, one must always keep a hidden card in deck in case an enemy tries to move their sect disciples.
Alright.
The group lines up peacefully, intending not to draw too much attention to themselves.
But sadly, reality was different.
One of the guards gestured at them while talking to another bunch.
And soon, someone moved toward, whispering words to the lead guard seated on a podium.
"My lord, we have specific orders to make things difficult for these Profound Sect members, should they emerge."
"Oh?"
The lead guard was nicknamed Old Slytherin.
He had a slender build, with jerky long hair, that made many feel his appearance was similar to a serpent's.
His slender build indeed caused people to think him weak.
But don't be deceived.
His special martial art technique was what gave him his slender build. He was so forcible that one would think he didn't have bones.
And with his long dark hair and overly long hands, he indeed made many feel he was a serpent.
Of course, because of his capabilities, the city lord valued him even more.
Old Slytherin revealed a creepy smile on his pale-like skin.
The more he stared at these Profound Sect people, the more playful his eyes became.
'Finally, something of worth to pass my time with.'
Hahahhahahha~
Old Slytherin slowly stood, walking down towards the podium's edge.
Below were several guards inspecting the passes.
Look all around.
They did have medium-sized walls, which were very scalable, to say the least.
But that didn't mean they lacked protection.
Surrounding these city walls were powerful formations placed by those from the most powerful Yanging Ancestor ages ago.
It was because of this formation that they didn't need to worry about beasts or trespassers coming in and out as they placed.
Even if one were flying far high in the air, they wouldn't be able to cross through the scene unless they managed to crack this most difficult and elite formation.
It's said the formation alone was in the top 3 most powerful ones across the entire Lower Realm.
And it was modified and made better by their genius Ancestor.
Even those in evil sects bled their hearts out when it came to overcoming this formation.
And the only people who can do and undo it are within the Royal palace.
These secret skills were passed on for generations to allow the royals to maintain the formation.
It's important to know that this city was a border city.
So just like all other Yanging border regions, the formation was kept in place to keep beasts, as well as trespassers from other provinces from coming in.
That said, any visitors or people trying to enter Yanging have to acquire passes.
But they could never stay for too long or permanently live here unless some organization, Yanging sect, or group has chosen to take them in.
As for the matter of the Profound Sect, it seems their actions in the last Provincial competition had indeed angered several people from the Dragon Sword Sect.
What was the Dragon Sword Sect? It was within the top 4 Yanging Sects!
To stand against it was akin to suicide, so silly for these Tah people.
Old man Slytherin was in a good mood, seeing it was the Profound Sect's time to step forward.
Well, he had to admit they were indeed brave for coming to Yanging, knowing how many people wanted to kill them.
Old man Slytherin chuckled.
"You all stop for me!"
