CHAPTER 563: 560. HEAVENLY STEED ENTERS THE CITY (SEEKING SUBSCRIPTIONS)
Direct flight!
Zi Ran and Bainian Xiang’s eyes shone with a different light upon hearing this, clearly showing they were intrigued.
In this world, why do people cultivate? The first purpose is naturally to become stronger, to stand in places others cannot reach, to obtain things others cannot have, and to be admired by them; the second is to surpass oneself, to accurately say, to surpass the current me, to achieve things I couldn’t do before, and to obtain things I couldn’t get before.
Flying is certainly one of them.
Otherwise, once one becomes strong, almost everyone dreams of conquering a Wing Race Demon Beast, despite the process being extremely difficult, a hundred times tougher than conquering a demon beast that runs on the ground. Yet, many are still willing to try.
Isn’t this all about going where others can’t?
The sky!
Seeing this, Huai Ye quickly said, "In the previous ’Immortal Slayer’ shown in the Viewing Room, people in that world not only could fly, but their pursuits were different from ours. We pursue power, pursuit of speed, pursuit of being stronger. But people in that world, they seek something else in their minds—immortality. They want to live forever in their world."
"Immortality!"
Zi Ran heard this word for the first time, then repeated it several times as she walked towards Wen Ping with Huai Ye.
Wen Ping asked, "Harry Potter or Immortal Slayer?"
Huai Ye quickly responded, "Harry Potter, Master Zi Ran and Bainian Xiang are watching Immortal Slayer."
Zi Ran added, "Let’s not watch Immortal Slayer first. Since everyone is watching Harry Potter, I would like to watch it too."
Wen Ping said, "Alright, it’s 5000 Gold Coins per movie. However, there are no immortal-seeking Taoists in the ’Harry Potter’ films, as Huai Ye mentioned. In short, none of it! The people there can fly, but it’s not through their own power; they rely on external objects. So, choose wisely."
The external object is, of course, a broom.
Of course, he can’t say; spoilers would spoil the fun.
Zi Ran repeated once, "Then Ha... Harry Potter, after watching Harry... Potter, we can watch Immortal Slayer."
After speaking, Zi Ran smiled helplessly to herself, thinking that this movie’s name was quite awkward, no matter how many times she said it, it didn’t sound right.
Wen Ping glanced at Long Ke behind him and asked, "Elder Zhao, what are you watching?"
"Immortal Slayer."
Clearly, Long Ke was more interested in Immortal Slayer.
However, Wen Ping knew he was carrying a task now, and the viewing count had to reach five hundred. How could he let Long Ke watch Immortal Slayer?
"Elder Zhao, the Viewing Room is only open at night, and the time is limited. If everyone discusses the ’Harry Potter’ story later, revealing the storyline and highlights, knowing the plot and ending beforehand, the movie itself becomes meaningless." Wen Ping didn’t use a strong tone but presented a question to Long Ke.
Instantly, a hint of hesitation flashed in Long Ke’s eyes, then he changed his mind, "I’ll watch ’Harry Potter’ too."
Wen Ping felt happy in his heart, then said, "Then let’s head in together."
When Long Ke followed into the Viewing Room, Wen Ping went downstairs. Everything in the Viewing Room was automatic, and as for the virtual glasses, Huai Ye and the others were already well familiar with them, while Long Ke didn’t, naturally, someone would teach her, no need for him to worry. He was now preparing to go back to the kitchen to make a cup of Sea Thought Strong Tea, an investment on the Earth Unrestricted Expert. Of course, it was improved Sea Thought Strong Tea.
The improved Sea Thought Strong Tea was quite valuable, but after Wen Ping’s thorough consideration, he felt the cost was justifiable.
If it poses a threat once he wakes up, at worst, he’ll use the Flood Dragon to wipe it out, just pretending he spilled a cup of Sea Thought Strong Tea on the road accidentally.
Meanwhile, after Wen Ping left, everyone in the Viewing Room put on their glasses and sat down.
The lights dimmed.
A brand-new world was about to unfold.
...
Cangwu City.
Outside the city at night, it was quiet, as usual.
On the city wall, guards with long spears patrolled above, their eyes scanning outside the city, capturing any sound coming from the darkness.
Just then, a sudden bell sound came from the forest, sounding very ethereal and very close. When the guards looked over, what caught their eyes was a group of light coming closer to Cangwu City in the forest. At this time, Murong Qing and others, who had stood at the city gate all day, suddenly stepped forward, respectfully standing in two rows at the city gate.
On the city tower, Huan Cheng and others did not go down; they just stared at the forest.
"It seems Murong Qing has been waiting all day just for them. Wonder which great figure has arrived, could it really be one standing at the top of Heaven and Earth Lake?"
After saying this, Huan Cheng ordered everyone not to act rashly. Without people from the Immortal Sect showing up, they must not contact these great figures. If they want to enter the city, let them in.
As soon as the light emerged from the dense forest, it radiated light, illuminating the surrounding hundreds of meters as if it were daytime.
Within the light, a crimson-gold carriage slowly approached, the first thing catching attention was the demon beast pulling the carriage, as it was the source of the light from its body. When it was near Cangwu City, it withdrew its light. Then everyone finally saw its true appearance, seeming like a white dog, but the head was black; however, it had wings and seemed capable of flight.
Behind this carriage, there were five identical carriages, each pulled by identical demon creatures.
The difference was, the last carriage was pulled by three such creatures.
"Welcome, my lord!"
"Welcome, my lord!"
Murong Qing and others quickly knelt on the ground, like servants, escorting the carriage procession into the city.
At the moment of kneeling, Murong Qing thought to himself: Demon beast Pegasus pulling the carriage, it’s the Hundred Sects Alliance Silver Level Chief arriving!
Silver Level Chiefs are like legends to them. Rumor has it, that Silver Level Chiefs can command even the Four-star Giant Influence, except for the elusive Golden Level Chiefs; they have the highest decision-making power in the alliance at Heaven and Earth Lake. He expected someone notable from above might come but did not anticipate it to be the legendary Silver Level Chief.
Once the carriage procession fully entered the city, Murong Qing and others raised their heads and followed.
Throughout, not a single person appeared from the carriage.
When the procession completely entered the city, Huan Cheng waved his hand, leading people to follow from afar. Eventually, watching Murong Qing escorting the procession stopping at an inn, coincidentally, it was Yang Zongxian’s business of Yang Lele’s father. Thus, Huan Cheng quickly sent people to find Huan Cheng, having him evacuate all guests in the inn and sealing off the streets around the inn.
After all, the ones possibly arriving are truly the great figures at the pinnacle of Heaven and Earth Lake!
The strength of the City Lord’s Mansion is very clear to Huan Cheng.
The safest way is not to engage and wait for the Immortal Sect people to handle it.
