Master.Staying here might be a better way to counter the patrol envoy, but Jiang Yun didn't dare to risk it.If the patrol officer is also like himself, unafraid of the Mark of the Desolation Lord, or...Standing before the city gate and looking through it, I still saw nothing.
Only a layer of ripples, like a film, could be seen covering the opening of the city gate, obscuring the view of the outside world.
Of course, standing here, I can't hear any sounds either. It's so quiet, just like looking at an empty city.
When entering the city, Jiang Yun also maintained a high level of vigilance, running his power throughout his body, ready for danger at any time.
Even, he doubted, whether he would be able to enter even this city gate.
However, to his surprise, not only did no danger appear, but the ripple-like film also offered no resistance whatsoever.
When Jiang Yun's body passed through this thin membrane, he couldn't feel it at all. With a few steps, he had already crossed the city gate unimpeded and entered this Si Zhen City!
Just as he stepped into the city, a wave of noise suddenly surged towards him.
A cacophony of noises also erupted around him in an instant, causing him to be momentarily startled.
At this very moment, presented before Jiang Yun's eyes was an incomparably wide street, a full hundred zhang wide.
On both sides of the street, there are various kinds of buildings.
On the street, there was a constant flow of people coming and going.
This is completely different from how it was just outside the city gate.
Giving Ginger Cloud a feeling as if she hadn't entered a city, but had suddenly stepped into another world.
But, just at that moment, all the noise and all the sounds vanished again.
Because the people on the street and those inside the buildings had all stopped what they were doing, countless eyes were focused on Jiang Yun.
These people come in all shapes and sizes. Some resemble humans, others animals, and some don't even have a human form, just a vague shadow. They are incredibly diverse.
But without exception, they were all cultivators!
Therefore, Ginger Cloud suddenly walked in from the city gate and was naturally noticed by them. They each turned their gazes towards him.
Ginger Cloud was also sizing up these pedestrians. She found that they did not show any hostility towards her appearance, but almost everyone's face was filled with surprise and confusion.
What puzzled Jiangyun was that these people, although belonging to different tribes, could walk peacefully on the street and get along well. It seemed that their relationship was quite good.
Although Gingercloud had been in the spotlight many times before, this moment was the first time he felt a little awkward.
He felt like a monster, being watched by everyone. He stood there, unsure whether to continue into the city or turn back and flee this place as fast as he could.
Fortunately, after just a short while, these cultivators within the city began to gradually withdraw their gazes from Jiang Yun's body. They no longer paid him any attention, continuing to do their own things and walk their own paths.
Soon, all the cultivators had left, and the streets returned to their previous tranquility. Everything was as if nothing had happened.
It seems they are only a little curious about Ginger Cloud's appearance, and nothing more.
And with their departure, Jiang Yun also secretly let out a sigh of relief.
It's not that he was cowardly, but this City of Four Towns was permeated with eerie strangeness everywhere.
Whether it was the desolate location of this city, the faintly perceptible aura of terror, or the peaceful coexistence of the four races of cultivators within its walls, everything felt profoundly unusual. All of these aspects diverged drastically from the knowledge Ginger Cloud already possessed about the chaotic world, leaving him utterly perplexed.
Having made sure that no one was watching him, Jiang Yun steadied himself once more before taking a step. He then set off down the smooth path paved with bluestone slabs, walking slowly towards the city center.
Throughout their journey, Jiang Yun remained vigilant, constantly observing the sights within the city and the cultivators passing by him.
The buildings in the city can also be said to be varied and diverse in style.
It is not difficult to see that these buildings should belong to different tribes.
On these buildings, Jiang Yun could also feel the breath of vicissitudes, and their existence should have been for a very long time.
As for the use of these buildings, some are residences, some are shops, and others are tightly closed, as if no one is inside.
In short, just looking at these buildings, this Si Zhen City bears no resemblance to Wushang City whatsoever. Instead, it's more similar to some ordinary cities.
And those passersby who walked past Jiang Yun, even some of the people from the shop earlier, no longer paid him much attention.
This is similar to the situation in Wushen City. They don't discriminate against strangers.
Looking at this situation, Jiang Yun became more and more puzzled: "What kind of place are these four towns Why are these four clans of cultivators gathered here"
"Could it be that this place, here, is a pure land within the entire chaotic world"
"Is this specifically for the cultivators of the four races who don't want to join the war, so it was specially chosen in such a desolate place"
It's also possible that not everyone within each of the four tribes harbors hatred towards other groups.
Especially for some weaker groups, the most important thing is to ensure the survival of their own group, rather than waging war with other groups.
Therefore, it is reasonable to gather such a group of people from their respective tribes and relocate them here to protect them from the ravages of war.
At this moment, Ginger Cloud truly wished he could find a few cultivators to directly search their souls and get answers to these questions.
Don't even talk about soul searching. Here, Jiang Yun didn't dare to easily release even his divine consciousness.
Because he could still feel it, that faint yet ever-present sense of terror, surrounding him like a watchful presence.
Although this aura was merely surveillance and took no other action, Jiang Yun believed that if he dared to act recklessly, this aura would undoubtedly strike him without hesitation.
Jiang Yun said to himself, "It should be that every person who enters the Four Towns City will be monitored by this aura."
"This is also why the city gates of these four towns were completely unguarded."
Whoever possesses this aura dares not make trouble here.
Finally, Jiang Yun decided to follow the old routine and go to the tavern first. He hoped to learn more about the city through conversations with others there.
In any city, whether inhabited by cultivators or mortals, there is never a shortage of taverns.
As this city of four towns is a gathering place for the four tribes, there are especially many taverns here.
Ginger Cloud strolled around for a while and had already discovered at least four restaurants, with almost every clan having their own restaurant. Of course, there were also restaurants that mixed four clans together.
Having chosen a restaurant where people of four different ethnicities gathered, Jiang Yun didn't rush inside. Instead, he stood at the entrance and observed, wanting to see what kind of currency was commonly used there.
If I don't have the local currency here, what if people think I'm taking advantage of them That would be troublesome.
However, when Jiang Yun's gaze swept across the winehouse, his eyebrows shot up, and a sneer appeared on his face.
Because, in the restaurant, he unexpectedly found an acquaintance!fourth time standing on the Zēngtiān Ancient Path, Jiāng Yún, although knowing she couldn't see anything, still couldn't help but turn her head to look back.Ishizu asked, puzzled, "Why do you always g...
