Even some cultivators with low cultivation levels want to enter the fairyland.
Moreover, coming to the Lower Spirit Realm requires suppressing one's cultivation, and there are no treasures. Due to these multiple reasons, the number of low-level cultivators far exceeds that of high-level cultivators.
An Kaixing was still guessing Shen Qingyi’s cultivation level in his heart.
He also thought that since he had come in person, this soul cultivator was a newcomer no matter what, so he should be given some face.
But Shen Qingyi's pressure did not subside at all.
The faces of the city guards kneeling on the ground grew paler and paler.
The smile on An Kaixing's face also faded a little.
"My fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Qing sneered in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist, you watched from the dark for so long without coming out. You only came out after I took action..."
This person clearly knew about it when the Han people started making trouble, but he only showed up now.
The smile on An Kaixing's face disappeared completely.
Of course he knew, and many of the big men and even the guides were his.
The Han people have done such things before.
In the past, he turned a blind eye and only took action when things got out of hand.
For those big and small matters, the small ones can be settled naturally, and as for those who are stubborn and refuse to listen to advice, he certainly has the means to completely silence them.
As for the big ones that we really can't handle, we can just sacrifice a few small minions, apologize, and give some gifts, and they can usually be settled.
But this person...
I was able to know he was in the dark from the beginning...
"Fellow Daoist, this is my Yunze Realm. If you want to cause trouble, I will disregard the courtesy of a friend from afar."
If the soft approach doesn’t work, then a hard approach is needed?
Threaten her?
Xia Hua, who was standing aside, had a pale face.
This is the deputy city lord!
He wanted to hold Shen Qingyi, but saw Shen Qingyi raise his hand.
The surroundings were very quiet, but An Kaixing became alert in an instant.
The monk's vigilance made him feel creepy.
The spiritual power turned into a shield to protect the body.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!"
The spiritual power shield instantly turned into countless pieces, and the moment it broke, spiritual light scattered.
An Kaixing's face changed drastically, and he had to restrain himself and shout loudly.
"How dare you! You are provoking me..."
"Bang!"
The ground sank deeply, raising a lot of smoke and dust.
The monks around were all breathless when they saw the space crack that appeared.
The expressions of some traveling monks in the dark changed.
Strong!
An old man pulled up a disciple beside him and took a few steps back.
"Walk."
This is not a place to stay for long.
An Kaixing stopped talking, and the surroundings became even quieter. Everyone's breathing became as light as possible.
Shen Qingyi took out a token.
"If you have any dissatisfaction, you can speak up."
An Kaixing, who had just crawled out of a deep pit, felt his legs go weak again when he saw the token.
"Spirit...Spirit Dao Sect!"
The development of Lingdao Sect in recent years has been astonishingly fast.
Today in Yunze Continent, Lingdao Sect has already surpassed countless forces.
There are even more powerful people in the sect!
Not to mention the Nascent Soul stage, there are quite a few cultivators in the Out-of-Body stage!
He didn't expect that the person he met was not only a tough guy, but also a tough guy with a background!
That purple token is only possessed by the inner elite of Lingdao Sect!
Seeing that An Kaixing finally stopped talking and became obedient, Shen Qingyi pulled Xiaohua and disappeared in front of everyone in a flash.
After a while, there was no more movement, and everyone came to their senses and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the big man and several city guards looked as if they were about to face a disaster.
They know An Kaixing's methods too well!
If that person doesn't want to pursue this matter, it would be fine. But if he does, An Kaixing will definitely use them as shields at the first opportunity!
Xiaohua only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already left the Holy Sword City.
Looking at the female cultivator in front of him, Xiaohua felt both admiration and fear.
"Senior...Senior, I..."
"Tell me about what's going on here."
Xiaohua nodded quickly.
I originally thought that the other party was an outsider cultivator from the Soul Realm, and many things could not be told, but this person was a senior from the Lingdao Sect!
Xiaohua immediately poured out everything he knew.
"Senior, as you can see, the immortal city we just visited is Holy Sword City, one of the four great immortal cities in the Central Region. That man is the deputy city lord of Holy Sword City, our city's...city lord. He hasn't been in charge of anything for a long time."
From Xiaohua's tone, Shen Qingyi keenly grasped the trick here.
“Why don’t you do anything?”
Xiaohua bit his lip.
"Because... because our Lord City Lord is a mortal and his health is getting worse, the Deputy Lord City Lord used the excuse that the Lord City Lord needs to recuperate... and so... the Lord City Lord stopped taking care of things."
"How do you know this?"
Xiaohua lowered his head.
“A lot of us know that.”
"A lot of people?"
"Do you suspect that the Lord of Holy Sword City is under house arrest?"
Xiaohua nodded slightly.
"Many of us know it, but we...are powerless to change it."
"That deputy city lord is only at the Nascent Soul stage."
Xiaohua suddenly looked up, his eyes shining.
Just Nascent Soul cultivation? !
This senior from the Lingdao Sect is indeed a powerful person!
"Senior, please! Please save the City Lord! Holy Sword City wasn't like this before! Everyone lived well! But ever since the Soul Realm returned and it connected with the Yunze Continent to become the Central Region, everything has changed!"
Xiaohua's eyes became moist.
"My great-grandfather said that the Central Region used to be desolate, covered by the sea, leaving only a bare holy sword standing there. It was our ancestors... who piled up stones one by one. With their unremitting efforts, they built the sea into land, built villages, then cities, and finally the Central Region we know today! Generations have taken root in the Central Region, treating it as our own home and striving to protect it. But since the return of the Soul Realm... those cultivators have invaded here again!"
Xiaohua was a little angry.
"At first, they said it was to protect us, to prevent some foreign monks from bullying us! We believed them! But...but more and more monks came in, and...more and more monks looked down on us ordinary mortals. We...we retreated again and again, all for the sake of survival...to protect our home..."
Xiao Hua didn't know why. Even though the senior in front of him was also a cultivator, he was willing to believe...
"I... I know this isn't the case with all cultivators, but I... I don't know how to describe it. The Four Immortal Cities today are no longer what they used to be! We... We've considered moving away, but grandpa, grandma, dad, and mom all say this is our home! We are the guardians of the Sword Immortal... We can't leave..."
Xiaohua knew that was the belief of countless people in the Central Region.
