Dark Night City was one of the thirty-six main cities of the Darkstar race. At the same time, it was the city closest to Jianchen.
Jianchen finally approached the first city he saw after flying slowly for several hours as a mid Divine King.
From afar, Dark Night City did not seem too different from the cities in the Saints' World. It was surrounded by tall walls, and the old walls gave off the presence of time.
This majestic city wall had already existed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.
In the distance, Jian Chen flew over while maintaining an altitude of a hundred meters. He stared at the ancient walls that were filled with the presence of time from afar. He understood that very few large-scale wars would erupt in the Darkstar World. For example, the invasion of cities that could be seen at any time in the Saints' World was basically impossible in the Darkstar race where the Darkstar Emperor reigned over the entire world. As a result, the walls of the cities of the Darkstar race were basically only symbolic. They did not need to be damaged in battle.
At the same time, there was quite a powerful energy within the walls. Although the energy was unable to give the walls extremely powerful defences, it could prevent them from rotting away with the passage of time.
As he approached Dark Night City, the number of cultivators in the surroundings gradually increased. However, most of them were cultivators from the Saints' World. They moved in and out of Dark Night City as if they were extremely busy.
Jianchen had already learnt from Haochen and Haoran that all the cities of the Darkstar race prohibited cultivators from flying. As a result, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jianchen landed several kilometers away from Dark Night City and made his way towards the city on foot.
However, even with that being the case, he moved extremely quickly. He crossed a hundred meters with each step, so he arrived at the gates of Dark Night City in just a short while.
"Stop. Which clan do you belong to? Why have you come to our Dark Night City?" The guard stopped Jianchen. His gaze was extremely sharp as he spoke arrogantly.
Even though he knew that Jianchen was a Divine King, the guard, who was only an Overgod, showed no fear at all. His words were rather provocative.
This was because the Darkstar race had never taken the cultivators of the outside world seriously. Regardless of whether they belonged to a peak organization or not, they were the type that could be bullied at any time in their eyes.
The reason why the Darkstar clan was so arrogant was because the cultivators from the outside world could never pose a threat to them.
Jianchen didn't care about the guard's attitude. He cupped his fists with a smile and said politely, "My name is Jianchen Qi. I don't belong to any sect, just a rogue cultivator. Not long ago, I hunted some Life Sucking Beasts in the Two World Mountain Range. This time, I came to Dark Night City specifically to sell the Life Sucking Beasts. I hope to sell them at a good price in exchange for some cultivation resources."
"Selling Life Sucking Beasts? Is that really the case? " The guard's eyes lit up. His gaze immediately landed on Jianchen's Space Ring. He shouted, "Hand over your Space Ring. Let me see if there's anything wrong with it."
"How can I show my Space Ring to just anyone?" Jianchen frowned as he sighed inside. He felt pity for the cultivators of the outside world. Even a mid Divine King would be troubled by an Overgod guard as soon as he entered the city. In the world controlled by the Darkstar race, cultivators of the outside world really did not possess any status at all.
"How dare you!" The guard called out, and powerful presences immediately surged out from within the walls.
Several dozen guards who were also Overgods surged out from within. They surrounded Jianchen aggressively as killing intent filled their eyes. They did not hide it at all.
Many cultivators who were entering and leaving the city stopped and looked towards Jianchen. The cultivators from the outside world all showed sympathy, while the Darkstar clansmen seemed like they were watching a show. There was also some slight disdain.
"Brother, you can't come into conflict with the people of the Darkstar race, or you'll definitely die. No one will be able to save you. Hand your Space Ring to them quickly and say some nice words. You have to be more humble, or it'll be very difficult for you, "an old voice rang out in Jianchen's head.
Without even using the senses of his soul, Jianchen knew that the person who had spoken to him was an old man behind him. He was a peak Overgod, and he did not dare to approach them. Clearly, he respected the Darkstar race very much.
"Senior, please calm down. You can't come into conflict with the Darkstar race …"
"Sir, the Darkstar race is currently under the control of the seventh hall. The seventh hall master has always been biased against us from the Saints' World. You can't come into conflict with the Darkstar race at a time like this, or even if the Divine King is at his peak, he'll definitely die …"
.....
A few more messages rang out in Jianchen's head after the old man. They all advised Jianchen to remain calm.
Jianchen sighed deeply inside. The advice from the cultivators in the surroundings allowed him to understand even more about the situation of cultivators from the Saints' World in the Darkstar race.
Not only was there no status to speak of, but they had even reached a miserable state where they needed to speak meekly and grovel for survival. Even Divine King experts were no different from ordinary people.
"Whatever, whatever." Jianchen removed his Space Ring and tossed it over.
The Space Ring contained the corpses of six Overgods and an early Godking Life Sucking Beast.
He was currently disguised as a Mid Divine King, so it was reasonable for him to kill an Early Divine King Realm Life Sucking Beast. It did not stand out at all.
The soldier accepted Jianchen's Space Ring and immediately sent the senses of his soul into it. When he discovered the corpses of the Life Devouring Beasts, he immediately became excited.
"There are actually seven corpses of Life Devouring Beasts, and even the weakest one of them is an Overgod. There's even a Life Devouring Beast that was at least a Divine King when it was alive. Heavens, there are actually corpses of Divine King level Life Devouring Beasts. Corpses of such high level Life Devouring Beasts usually only appear in the royal capital. It has already been a hundred years since we've seen a corpse of a Divine King level Life Devouring Beast in Anye City. " The soldier's eyes shone brightly, especially when he saw the corpse of the Divine King level Life Devouring Beast. Undisguised greed filled his eyes.
The several dozen Overgods in the surroundings saw his expression, and they all beamed with joy. There was also a sliver of eagerness on their faces.
"What do you think, Xiaowei?" An Overgod soldier could not help but ask. They had known each other for several hundred years, but this was the first time they had seen Xiaowei show such an expression.
Xiaowei withdrew the senses of his soul from the Space Ring rather reluctantly. He beamed with joy and said excitedly, "It's a great harvest, a great harvest. It's equivalent to several hundred years of our salary, or even a thousand years."
"Really? That's fantastic! " The soldiers around Jianchen were all overjoyed when they heard that. They seemed to have struck it rich. They were overjoyed.
Jianchen sneered inside when he saw the expressions of the soldiers. He said to the soldier called Xiaowei, "Xiaowei has checked. Can I have the Space Ring now?"
Xiaowei calmed himself down and looked at Jianchen. Afterwards, he took out a tail from Jianchen's Space Ring and tossed it to Jianchen. He said, "Take it. Alright, you can go in now." With that, he stowed the Space Ring away. He had no plans of returning it to Jianchen.
Jianchen looked at the tail of the Overgod Life Devouring Beast in his hand and smiled resplendently, "There are a total of seven Life Devouring Beast corpses. Six of them are Overgods, and one of them is an early Divine King. Just how valuable is that? In the end, I'm only left with a tail after entering the city once. Hahahaha, what a joke.
What a joke. "The cultivators who watched from afar all shook their heads and sighed when they heard Jianchen's report. They all sympathized with Jianchen's situation very much.
There were an extremely small number of people who resented him, but they did not dare to voice their anger. "What are you laughing at?
Why don't you piss off into the city? Don't think you're so great just because you're a Divine King. In the eyes of us Darkstar, you Divine Kings from the outside world are nothing. You're just a slightly stronger grasshopper at most. We've already shown you mercy by leaving you with a tail. If you anger us, your head will hang on the walls tomorrow, "Xiaowei pointed at Jianchen and scolded him without holding back at all.
At the same time, three figures silently appeared on the walls several dozen meters tall. They stood with their hands behind their backs as they stared down emotionlessly. Their gazes were extremely cold.
Three powerful presences radiated from them, firmly locking onto Jianchen below.
