Chapter 1811: Chapter 1811 Earth-Shattering Discovery
There were a lot of martial practitioners in the city.
Many of them set up street stalls, selling all sorts of items of varying quality. Buyers had to rely on their judgment.
The city had everything from inns and brothels to merchant guilds, making it the trading hub of Sinless City.
Ye Liuyun and his group wandered around without buying anything. They went to an inn, ordered some food, and rested while gathering information.
The food and drink here weren’t outrageously expensive, just slightly pricier than outside.
The martial practitioners eating there talked mostly about Yin-soul Mountain. They discussed the frequent howls of Yin-souls from the mountain lately, suggesting that some valuable treasure might appear.
"Of course, every time there’s movement at Yin-soul Mountain, many people die, but treasures always appear!"
At a nearby table, an older martial practitioner shared some past incidents with others.
"The City Lord was the one who led people to defeat the Yin-souls!" the old man concluded.
"I heard experts like Slasher and Black Fiend have already gone there. Should we still go?" Another martial practitioner asked.
The old man retorted, "When have those who died not been renowned experts? We aren’t going to explore but wait outside. We might pick up some leftover treasures. Staying here would only bore me anyway. Maybe we’ll get lucky and find something valuable!"
At other tables, people talked about seeing large numbers of Yin-souls flooding into Yin-soul Mountain from outside the city, describing the scene as terrifying.
Some even mentioned there were many demons and feral beasts around Yin-soul Mountain, making it hard to get close.
Meanwhile, Qingfeng entered the City Lord’s residence and saw the true form of the Sinless City Lord. He communicated with Ye Liuyun through a Divine Soul contract.
"I’m so scared, master. The Sinless City Lord is a foreign race monster! What should I do?"
Qingfeng was at a loss, knowing the City Lord would not let him go.
The news that the City Lord was of a foreign race was not something he could reveal.
"What? A foreign race?" Ye Liuyun was equally shocked.
The image Qingfeng sent of the City Lord showed a being with three eyes, horns on its head, and a body covered in scales.
"Did you give him that elixir?" Ye Liuyun asked right away.
"No, they locked me up. I was so scared that I forgot!" Qingfeng replied.
"Good. We can’t let the foreign race use it to enhance their power. Take the elixir yourself to avoid future troubles," Ye Liuyun instructed, not wanting the elixir to fall into the wrong hands.
He then analyzed the situation for Qingfeng, "Don’t worry, they won’t harm you for now. They still need you to refine elixirs for them. Keep me informed, and I’ll find a way to rescue you. What is the foreign race’s tier?"
"Alright, please come quickly. I’m afraid they’ll find all the ingredients! The foreign race is at the late stage of the fourth tier, and they probably want the elixir to break through." Qingfeng responded.
"Got it!" Ye Liuyun acknowledged, feeling troubled.
"To deal with that foreign race, I need to enhance my Divine Soul power to the next level," Ye Liuyun thought.
"What’s wrong?" Xiao Yunfang noticed his change in expression and asked with concern.
"Nothing, I just got curious about what the Sinless City Lord looks like," Ye Liuyun replied deliberately.
The old man nearby heard their conversation and laughed heartily.
"Kid, you must be new to Sinless City?" the old man was quite talkative.
"Yes, please give us some guidance!" Ye Liuyun respectfully engaged him.
"Guidance? We’re all just trying to make a living! But if you’re curious about the City Lord’s appearance, no one here has seen him! Only the experts in the City Lord’s residence might have seen him. Even the ordinary people in the residence haven’t," the old man explained.
"Exactly, the City Lord is such a high-ranking figure, we can’t easily see him! His status here is equivalent to that of a prince outside!" another martial practitioner added.
"I see, thank you for the information!" Ye Liuyun thanked them, confirming that the City Lord was indeed of a foreign race.
He then lost interest in eating and headed to a trading company to buy a map of Sinless City with Xiao Yunfang and another martial practitioner.
He chatted with the guide there.
"How long has Sinless City been around?"
The guide laughed and replied, "How would I know? Probably hundreds of years."
"Has the City Lord never changed?" Ye Liuyun asked again.
"How could that be? I heard the City Lord changed decades ago. Since then, the Yin-soul Mountain has existed. It’s said that the city lord’s cultivation of the God-Slaying Beam attracted the Yin-souls," the guide explained.
These stories were widely known among the city’s martial practitioners but were rare outside Sinless City.
"God-Slaying Beam?" Ye Liuyun didn’t understand what kind of technique that was.
"The City Lord can shoot a beam of light from his forehead. Any martial practitioner in the Immortal Realm hit by that light turns to ashes, without even their Divine Soul left!" the guide explained.
"Has anyone seen this with their own eyes?" Ye Liuyun asked.
The guide laughed, "How would I know? I only heard about it. I can’t even see the City Lord myself!"
Ye Liuyun nodded, but considering the foreign race’s three eyes, he thought it was possible. The God-Slaying Beam could be some unique ability of the foreign race.
"Have you heard of anyone seeing the City Lord?" Ye Liuyun asked again.
"People have seen him cloaked in black at most. No one has seen his true face!" the guide replied with a smile.
Ye Liuyun paid for the map, memorized it, and had Xiao Yunfang and the martial practitioner do the same.
Before leaving, the guide warned Ye Liuyun, "There’s no restriction outside the city, and it’s dangerous. Newcomers like you can easily be targeted by other martial practitioners. It’s best to familiarize yourself with the area before going out!"
"Thank you for the warning!" Ye Liuyun expressed his gratitude before leaving the trading company.
"Where are we going?" Xiao Yunfang asked Ye Liuyun.
"Out of the city!" Ye Liuyun said without hesitation.
"But the guide just advised you to familiarize yourself first!" Xiao Yunfang was worried about the danger outside.
"We don’t have that much time. We’re here to fight and adventure, not to waste time!" Ye Liuyun replied.
"Let’s go! I’m already content to have survived this long!" the other martial practitioner said determinately.
His name was Quan Zhicheng and had just reached the peak of the second tier. He expected to break through to the third tier after this trip.
Ye Liuyun had spent enough time with him to find him agreeable.
"Let’s go, then! I’m not less brave than you men!" Xiao Yunfang said, unwilling to be outdone.
