"In front is the White Cloud Capital – Sky Cloud City. {} novel
{][la}”
The journey on the horse carriage was indeed rather slow. Two days later, Lin Ze pointed to a black dot the size of a fly several miles away and said.
Ling Xiao looked towards that direction and it was really a wide expanse of flat land without any cover. Only in front of that black dot, there seemed to be two huge mountains blocking the way, forming a narrow passageway.
This was a good place which was easy to defend but hard to attack.
In other people's eyes, all these were just blurry black dots.
However, in Ling Xiao's eyes, the situation was totally different.
Under the state of Soul Engraving, the scenery from afar seemed to be magnified instantly.
Those two lofty mountains became even clearer.
On top of the two mountains, there were some defensive facilities and near the mountain pass, there were also some troops stationed there.
Looking through this narrow passageway, after about a kilometer or so, a majestic city came into view.
This Sky Cloud City was built according to the mountains and looked as though it was floating in the air, hence it was called Sky Cloud City.
The structure of the city was totally different from Heaven Peak City and it was seven to eight times bigger than Heaven Peak City, as though it was an ancient giant beast lying in the middle of the mountains.
Whereas that passageway was more like the mouth of this giant beast, as though it wanted to swallow the people who came in.
"What a majestic city!"
Ling Xiao couldn't help but praise.
"You can actually see the exact situation of the city?" Lin Ze was shocked when he heard that.
Because even if he was at the peak of the ninth level of the Martial Vein, when he looked at Sky Cloud City from this position, it was merely a blurry shadow.
The rest were even worse off, only seeing a black dot the size of a fly.
"En."
Ling Xiao didn't explain further and only nodded his head.
Lin Chen who was standing by the side wasn't convinced, "I don't believe that you can really see the exact situation from so far away, then tell us more!"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and told them about the general situation of Sky Cloud City, making the surrounding soldiers on horseback dumbstruck.
"You've been to Sky Cloud City before right?"
Lin Chen still asked in disbelief.
Ling Xiao didn't explain but continued, "Standing at the outermost part of the passageway is a man with a scar in between his brows wielding a knife."
"Hahaha, Lin Chen, don't be unconvinced. He can even tell who is on duty today. This is talent. You can't compare to him. Even I have to admit defeat."
Lin Ze laughed heartily.
Lin Chen didn't say anything. He thought that since they were about to arrive, he would see if Scar Six was on duty later to find out if Ling Xiao was bragging.
If he could even guess this correctly, then he would really be full of admiration for Ling Xiao.
Because the guards stationed outside the city were rotated irregularly so even if it was someone who stayed in Sky Cloud City for a long time, they would not be able to guess it.
.......
Lin Chen was dumbfounded.
This was because Scar Six had already walked up to them and saluted.
Originally, there were also some soldiers who were suspicious of Ling Xiao like Lin Chen, but now they all looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.
"Scar Six, why are you on duty today?" Lin Chen asked in a bad mood.
........................
"Sigh."
Lin Chen smiled bitterly.
Scar Six was puzzled. Until one of the soldiers told him that Ling Xiao saw the scar in between his brows from miles away. He was so shocked that his jaw almost dislocated.
The carriages passed through the passageway and didn't meet with any obstructions. After all, with Lin Ze's status, who would dare to obstruct him?
As they walked along a long ramp into Sky Cloud City, Ling Xiao realised that this city was filled with top exponents.
There were almost no ordinary people in Sky Cloud City.
In this city, everyone would be checked to see which cultivation method was suitable for them the moment they were born. Then they would start to lay their foundations when they were two to three years old.
By the time they were seven to eight years old, the worst was already at the first level of the Martial Vein.
It could be said that in Sky Cloud City, even the beggars on the streets were all practitioners.
This was the disparity.
One must know that in Sky Peak City, ordinary people accounted for more than eighty percent of the population.
White Cloud Capital was indeed White Cloud Capital. The capital of White Cloud Province was indeed different from the rest.
Sky Cloud City's citizens seemed to have a good impression of Lin Ze. Along the way, wherever the carriages passed by, there would be people bowing towards the carriages, their faces brimming with smiles.
It was as though their long-awaited loved ones had finally returned from the outside.
Sky Cloud City's architectural style wasn't much different from Sky Peak City's, except that most of them were more majestic.
The streets were paved with bluestones. Not only were they spacious, they were also flat. Even if six to seven carriages were to pass through, there wouldn't be any problem.
Ling Xiao even saw people riding on demonic beasts passing through the streets. The citizens didn't show any signs of panic.
He curiously asked Lin Ze.
The answer he got was — —
There were many people in Sky Cloud City who could tame demonic beasts. They could be used as battle strength or as mounts.
Actually Lin Ze also had demonic beasts as mounts and they could fly. But in order to take care of most people, he didn't use them.
"That's the Border Guarding General's residence."
Suddenly, Lin Chen shouted excitedly.
Ling Xiao raised his head and took a look. This General's residence wasn't as luxurious as he had imagined. It couldn't even be compared to the Ling family's mansion.
As compared to the residences of many officials and nobles in Sky Cloud City, it was indeed a little shabby.
"General empathizes with the citizens so the General's residence is built very simply."
Lin Chen explained, "But we're not going there. We're going to the army camp. General, shall I bring Ling Xiao and Ling Yixue to the army camp?"
He looked towards Lin Ze and asked.
Lin Ze stood in front of the General's residence and pondered for a moment before suddenly asking, "Ling Xiao, I'll give you two choices. One is to cultivate by my side and no one will fight with you for cultivation resources. You might even be able to receive my personal guidance."
"The other is to enter the army camp and receive the same training as other geniuses. It's extremely tough and you can only rely on yourself to fight for cultivation resources. I will not interfere."
"The latter."
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment before answering.
"Oh? Why is that so? "
Lin Ze was surprised and pleasantly surprised.
"It's very difficult for flowers in a greenhouse to grow."
Ling Xiao said faintly, "When I was in the Ling family, I realised that including Ling Feifan, Ling Chen and Ling Yun, they were all spoiled and lost the motivation to compete. So once they encounter a small failure, they would break down."
He wasn't a masochist but he understood that it was best for him not to live under Lin Ze's protection. Otherwise, he would forever be a fledgling.
"Good! I, Lin Ze, have not misjudged you! "
Lin Ze smiled, "Lin Chen, bring the two of them to report to the border army. You don't have to take special care of them. Come back after arranging for them to enter the Latent Dragon Camp."
"Yes, sir!"
"General, then we'll take our leave."
Ling Xiao and Ling Yixue bowed and left with Lin Chen.
Before they left, Ling Xiao casually glanced at the two guards outside the Border General's residence.
"They're both at the initial stage of the sixth level of the Martial Vein!"
Ling Xiao couldn't help but be shocked.
Martial Artists with such cultivation were only the guards of the Border General's residence!
Martial Artists with such cultivation would definitely be the VIP of any clan in Tianfeng City. They could even be given the position of Elder in some mid-tier clans.
However, they were only guards here.
