Chapter 571: 252~253: A Turn of Events in the Sect!
Treacherous Leader Xing (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_1 Chapter 571: 252~253: A Turn of Events in the Sect!
Treacherous Leader Xing (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_1 The Eastern Region Frontier City is on the easternmost edge of the Eastern Region.
You would have to cross the entire Eastern Region and pass by major sects such as the Five Elements Escape Sect and Hualong Sect to get there.
The journey is approximately 36,000 kilometers in a straight line.
Even if Chen Dengming and He Yingyu were to fly in a straight line on the high-level tier 3 Spirit Boat – the Golden Containing Inverse Light Boat, they would still require almost twenty-four hours of non-stop flight to reach their destination.
However, they dared to speed up only because of their sheer confidence and lack of fear of any dangers on the way.
...
Since they wished to keep the details of their journey a secret, they had to avoid certain areas occupied by large sects and Immortal’s gateways.
They couldn’t take a straight route, as they risked being caught by the Sects’ Formations, or being spotted by high-level cultivators in the skies, thereby revealing their tracks.
After purposely deviating from their path numerous times, they finally arrived at the somewhat secluded Eastern Region Frontier City after five days.
Even though this place seems to be within the territory of the Eastern Region, everything from the land to the city’s appearance gives off a special, exotic feeling.
There also seems to be a doleful ambiance lurking in the air.
The soil here appears to be a brownish-red clay.
However, it’s so red that it seems nearly blackish-brown, making one feel oppressed at first sight.
It’s as if the soil has been soaked in fresh blood for tens of thousands of years.
Except for a minority of Ghost Cultivators and those Sect Cultivators assigned to guard this place, most Cultivators who choose to come here are attracted by the rare three-level Spiritual Veins in the city.
The cost of living here is only half of what one would normally pay in other Immortal Cities with the same three-level Spiritual Veins.
“This is a mysterious place, like the ones often mentioned in the legends of the non-magic world.
However, even in the Cultivation World here, legends abound, because there are often bizarre cases of Evil Curses causing people to die in strange circumstances.
In addition, the city is flanked by the Land of Fallen, making the city an origin of many creepy stories that spread among the locals, inciting a lot of discussion…”
As he looked down at the not-so-distant frontier city, Chen Dengming began to recount the information he had gathered earlier.
The mountainous city below was at the intersection of two rivers from the Ming River, with water on the east and the north sides, and the west being the direction they had come from.
The city, starting from the middle of the mountain and following the mountainous terrain, was built along the winding mountain slopes.
The main group of buildings was situated on the plateaus carved out on the mountains, giving the city a treacherous terrain.
Half-active, the city’s Defense Formation on the mountain cast an imposing atmosphere.
Dengming patted the Soul House in his bosom and asked, “Ling’er, do you like it here?
”
The Mini Array Spirit expressed her thoughts, “Not particularly.
This place is too unfamiliar.
However, for the sake of the Soul Flower, I could tolerate the place.
After all, there’s a possibility of finding a Soul Flower in the Land of Fallen here…”
Listening to her words, Dengming smiled.
Not long ago, the Mini Array Spirit mentioned that she was about to break through.
After breaking through, she would need even more pure Soul Power and to cultivate using a Soul Flower to regain her previous strength.
Now, after ten odd days, the Mini Array Spirit has officially broken through to the equivalent of a Golden Core Great Cultivator.
Coincidentally, he had just arrived at this city bordering the Land of Fallen.
The Land of Fallen houses countless ghosts and Evil Curses.
Even Ghost Kings have been seen lurking around.
It’s an authentic Extremely Yin Place and Soul Flowers might indeed be found there.
After contemplating for a while, Dengming called out Chu Xun using the Soul Attracting Banner.
“Woof!
Woof!
Woof!”
Having not been out for so long, Chu Xun was very excited.
He was wagging his tail and barking around Chen Dengming non-stop.

“Senior Sister, let’s masquerade as Ghost Cultivators for a while.
Say we were once cultivators from the Yin Ghost Sect…”
Chen Dengming said as he used the Bone Shrinking Technique, a mortal martial arts skill, to alter his face.
This method was more convincing than magic; altering his facial structure was less likely to be spotted by others through magical skills or Divine Sense.
He Yingyu then followed suit.
Although she didn’t know the Bone Shrinking Technique, she was proficient in makeup.
She would make herself look plain during the day to hide her beauty, and then revert back to her normal appearance at night to please her husband.
All was in order.
After changing their looks and donning unremarkable tier-3 middle-level robes, they packed up their Spirit Boat and flew down toward the city below.
The city had turned on the Air-Blocking Large Formation overhead.
Dengming and Yingyu landed at the city gate and entered the city alongside a few cultivators who were there for business.
“What are you here for?
Where did you come from?
Show me your identification.”
The city guards were a group of Qi Cultivators.
They were checking everyone’s identities one by one.
There was also a Foundation Establishment official from the Hualong Sect sitting behind them, dressed in a Daoist robe.
Dengming had heard from Gao Lingxiao before that the guards at the Land of Fallen were cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Sect and the Hualong Sect.
If he had come as the Longevity Daozi, he would have been warmly received here.
But now that he had disguised himself, he chose to lay low.
Soon, the guards got to Dengming and Yingyu.
“What…”
The Qi Cultivator who was conducting the inspection was about to proceed with the routine questioning.
Upon seeing Dengming and Yingyu dressed in high-grade robes and the Spiritual Might radiating off them inadvertently, he quickly corrected himself with a forced bow and a smile.
“Please, honored seniors.
May I ask where you two are from?
What brings you to our city?
Could you please show us your identification?”
At this moment, the Foundation Establishment official from the Hualong Sect in the rear had also been alerted.
He rose to his feet and gave a bow from a distance towards Dengming and Yingyu, as a form of salutation.
This was a display of confidence from the high-ranking Sect cultivators.
Even though the aura emitting from Dengming and Yingyu suggested that they were False Core Great Cultivators, the official was not the least bit daunted.
He greeted them casually, thereby extending them courtesy in terms of face value.
After returning the greeting, Dengming introduced themselves with a smile, “We are cultivators from the Yin Ghost Sect, and this is my Junior Sister.
We plan to settle down here for a while.”
