This was originally a small city, but because various sects kept sending people here, the streets of the city were already filled with people. But it was very orderly inside, perhaps because there were cultivators here, there was no chaos.
Shen Ying and the others entered and realized that there were not only disciples from Dawning Pill Sect, but also disciples from other sects. Even in the west of the city, there were already houses made of sorcery, and many mortals were queuing up to move in. Lonemoon could not help but feel a bit of the modern atmosphere of fighting floods and disaster relief. He did not expect the sects in this small world to have such a harmonious relationship with mortals.
Lonemoon decided to go to the Scattered Cultivators Hall first. They called themselves itinerant cultivators because itinerant cultivators were more convenient, and also because itinerant cultivators had always been the most well-informed. And the Scattered Cultivators Hall was an itinerant cultivator organization, he had already found out about it during the few days on the spirit boat. It was a place specially for itinerant cultivators without sects to receive and issue all kinds of missions. From finding rare herbs to hunting spirit beasts, there were all kinds of missions. So itinerant cultivators gathered there to gather information.
As they had asked for the location beforehand, they did not spend much time to find the place, the entrance was filled with cultivators. The moment the three entered, a woman who looked like a manager turned around.
"Fellow Daoist, inside … Eh?" The man stopped mid-sentence and stared blankly at the two people who had just entered the room. He was so shocked that he didn't recover for a long time.
"Fellow Daoist? Fellow Daoist! "Lonemoon called out a few times.
"Ah! Ah? " The manager was stunned, then reacted and hurriedly welcomed them in. "Fellow Daoists, please come in, I wonder if you are here to issue a mission or to accept a mission."
"We just started cultivating not long ago, we want to come here to issue a mission," Lonemoon answered.
"Fellow Daoist is an itinerant cultivator!" The person was even more shocked.
"All three of us are." Lonemoon nodded.
"Three?" The steward paused and scanned the few of them. Only then did he notice Shen Ying, who was at the back. He seemed to have thought of something and nodded in understanding. "I see. Then I guess Fellow Daoist will have to wait for a while." The steward pointed at the densely packed crowd inside and said, "Today is the day of the new mission in the hall, so it's rather busy." After saying that, he thought for a moment and led them to a table at the side to sit down.
The few of them followed him and sat down. Perhaps it was because they were unfamiliar faces, but the bustling room suddenly became much quieter. Most of the cultivators turned to look at them.
There were many people in the hall, but the strange thing was that most of them were female cultivators. Only a few of them were men with Concealment Array Formations around them.
Lonemoon did not mind. Instead, the steward who had just welcomed them seemed to be very curious. As he poured tea, he said, "I see that the two of you have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Your talents must be extraordinary. Why didn't you join a sect, and instead became an itinerant cultivator? "As she spoke, her eyes seemed to be unable to control themselves, and kept glancing at Chef beside her.
"We're used to freedom and can't stand being restrained. That's why we became itinerant cultivators." Lonemoon replied.
The steward frowned. She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly advised, "It's always difficult for itinerant cultivators to cultivate. If the two of you want less trouble, it's better for you to join a sect." With that said, she even gave Shen Ying, who was nibbling on a fruit at the side, a look of reproach.
Shen Ying: "…" Meow meow meow?
"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist." Lonemoon smiled politely. After thinking for a moment, he continued to ask, "Oh yes, when we entered the city previously, we saw many mortals fleeing here. They said they encountered the disaster of 'Fallen Night'."
"Isn't that so." The steward continued, "Sigh, it happens a few times every year. The last time it happened was in a border city, thousands of miles away from here. I didn't expect it to come here so quickly."
"This' Fallen Night 'is so scary. I'm a little curious. Where did it start?"
"Of course it's the Corroding Vacant Abyss," the steward blurted out. She suddenly thought of something and looked at the few of them with a look of surprise. "The few of you aren't also here to accept the mission to investigate the Corroding Vacant Abyss, are you?"
"There's such a mission?" Lonemoon asked.
"This was jointly issued by all the big sects." The steward explained, "This' Fallen Night 'incident has been a threat for many years. All the sects have been investigating for a long time but have not found the cause. They can only roughly confirm that it has something to do with the Corroding Vacant Abyss. That's why they're calling for everyone to go in and investigate. But the Corroding Vacant Abyss is extremely dangerous. It's very likely that you won't be able to return. That's why all the sects want to go together with itinerant cultivators. Although the rewards are generous, it's really too dangerous inside. Fellow Daoists, please don't take things too hard. "
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist." It looked like the darkness came from the Corroding Vacant Abyss.
The steward nervously emphasized the danger of the Corroding Vacant Abyss. Seeing that they had no intention of giving up, he sighed and walked away to help them with the registration procedures for itinerant cultivators. He looked at them with a look of pity. Before he left, he did not forget to glare at Shen Ying, who had been silent all this while. He seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with her laissez-faire.
Shen Ying: "…" Motherf * cker!
The few of them did not stay long in the Scattered Cultivators Hall. After knowing that the darkness started from the Corroding Vacant Abyss, they accepted the scouting mission that the steward had just mentioned. They also asked for a map and left directly.
Not far from the city, Lonemoon was about to look at the direction of the map when Yi Qing frowned and said, "Someone is following us."
"Mm, I knew it long ago." Lonemoon replied casually. "They've been following us since the beginning of the Scattered Cultivators Hall." It was just a few Foundation Establishment cultivators and a Golden Core cultivator. They probably saw that there were only three of them and wanted to kill them and rob them of their treasures.
Indeed, not long after they flew out, five tall and sturdy cultivators suddenly rushed out and blocked their way.
"Fellow Daoists, are you heading to the Corroding Vacant Abyss?" The one in the middle who seemed to be the leader was a female cultivator dressed in blue. She smiled wretchedly and took a step forward. Narrowing her eyes, she scanned the few of them. "Why don't you travel with us? At least we can take care of each other."
"Oh? Fellow Daoist, are you sure that you only want to travel with us? "Lonemoon looked at the money bag that was delivered to his door and smiled.
The female cultivator seemed to be dazzled by his smile. Instantly, her gaze on the few of them became even more heated. "Fellow Daoist, what are you saying? We are proper itinerant cultivators. It's just that the Corroding Vacant Abyss is dangerous and we're afraid that a beauty would get hurt. That's why we want to take care of you. "
Beauty? Lonemoon subconsciously turned back to look at Shen Ying. Since when did her presence become so strong? Or could it be that these people were criminals?
"In that case, we have to thank you?" Lonemoon laughed coldly and scanned the few of them. Only then did he realize that they were actually all female cultivators.
"Fellow Daoist, don't stand on ceremony." The female cultivator smiled even more happily. The greed in her eyes was about to overflow. "As long as you're obedient, Big Sister will definitely ensure your safety. In the future, you'll naturally be able to eat and drink well."
