Wenxian City is located on the edge of Zhongzhou, not far from the gates of the Demon Realm and the Monster Realm. Although it is called a city, it is actually the gatekeeper of the Wenxian Secret Realm, responsible for receiving various forces.
Theoretically speaking, the Immortal Inquiry Realm belongs to the three realms of humans, demons, and monsters. However, for many years, the demon realm has remained out of the loop while the human realm has become powerful. All twenty teams belong to the Central Continent forces, which has become an unwritten rule.
On this trip, Xuan Yan Dan Zu stayed behind to guard the loose cultivator city, while Wen Qing Yuan Zu led the team forward.
Wenxian City was located in a remote area, and due to the existence of the secret realm, it was impossible to inscribe a teleportation array. So, Ancestor Wenqing led a large number of cultivators on a huge flying boat magic treasure that she had refined. After a long and bumpy journey, it took half a month before they finally arrived at Wenxian City.
It was evening. Wenxian City had received the news earlier and sent people to wait for the flying boat to land. Their cultivation level was not very high, but they were all very clever and led everyone into the city.
Tong Su had already caught up on her sleep on the flying boat and was now feeling refreshed. She was discussing with Ancestor Wen Qing how they could improve the Black Gold Bracelet when they reached the city gate. Just then, they heard an angry question coming from the gate.
"You're asking what happened in Immortal City, and why our Canglang Sword Sect didn't receive a single jade pendant this time?"
The disciple from Wenxian City explained in a flustered manner, "My lady, the distribution of the jade pendants is not something we at Wenxian City can decide. It's the Wenxian Secret Realm that automatically selects the top few forces at the time, specifying the names of the forces. We simply send someone to deliver them..."
"So you're saying that our Canglang Sword Sect isn't one of the top ten powers?"
The female cultivator leading the group was stunningly beautiful and exuded a fierce aura. She wore her hair in a flying fairy bun, adorned with a jeweled gold hairpin with tassels, and held a snow-jade sword in her hand. Her smoky-colored brocade fairy dress fluttered in the wind, making her look both noble and flamboyant.
The disciple smiled wryly: "Fairy, aren't you putting us in a difficult position, Asking Immortal City? We are only responsible for sending the jade pendants. How to judge them is up to the Asking Immortal Realm itself."
Senior Sister Zhao was furious, and the cultivators behind her started cursing all at once: "Senior Sister Zhao, I think this rogue cultivator city is disrespecting our Canglang Sword Sect! Let's just charge in and see who they give the jade pendant to!"
“Senior Sister Zhao, we cannot tolerate this humiliation! You and Senior Sister Feng from Ziwei Heavenly Palace had already arranged to meet. If you can't even enter the Immortal Inquiry City, wouldn't you become a laughingstock…”
"Exactly! Let's just snatch it! Is there anyone our Canglang Sword Sect is afraid of? How dare someone try to steal our jade pendant? Kill them!"
The disciples of the Canglang Sword Sect were speaking righteously and passionately when, unexpectedly, Senior Sister Zhao suddenly interrupted them, saying, "Shut up!"
The disciple was taken aback. She narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Fine, if someone can get the jade pendant, then they're capable. You all better behave yourselves." Then she asked the disciple guarding the gate of Wenxian City, "If we don't go to the secret realm, can't we stay in the city for a while?"
The disciple, of course, would not object to this request, and nodded to make way: "Of course, fairy, immortal master, please."
While the Canglang Sword Sect members were making a ruckus, Sanxiucheng and his group were preparing to enter the city.
They entered through a different gate to verify the authenticity of the jade pendant. The gatekeepers readily allowed them to pass. Someone from the Canglang Sword Sect turned around and suddenly saw Tong Su's silhouette, letting out a startled cry!
"Senior Sister Zhao, look! That's the group from the Loose Cultivator City! Isn't that woman Bai Tong, the one the people from Ziwei Heavenly Palace were talking about, the one who framed Senior Sister Feng?!"
