The Sun was hanging high in the sky. It was noon.
By the border of Yuezhou, there existed an ancient city. An ancient city that has existed for an eternity.
It was majestic and imposing. Like an ancient beast that was crawling there, it instilled fear in everyone. The city wall was stained with blood and emitted an ancient vibe. It was mysterious and eerie.
Though the blood had been here for tens of thousands of years, it still existed. The red was also demonic and emitted a powerful pressure. It was as if it was reminding people that there was a shocking war a long time ago.
The rumors were true. As for whether it was true or not, there was no way to verify it.
The name of this place was the City of Sin. It was located at the border between Yuezhou and Yunzhou. As long as an outsider crosses the border and passes through a dense forest, they will be able to see this majestic city.
After Ling Xian passed through the dense forest, he arrived at the foot of this ancient city.
When he arrived at the city gate, a wave of vicissitudes of life washed over him. Then, he raised his head and stared at the ancient city that was as heavy as a mountain. He couldn't help but exclaim.
"The City of Sin, we meet again."
In the Hidden Territory, he once came here and was forced to live here for a period of time.
The City of Sin was the most chaotic and cold place in Yuezhou.
Because this city was located in an extremely desolate area, the controlling forces of Yuezhou never cared about this place. Therefore, as time went by, this place became a no man's land in Yuezhou. All the cultivators who committed heinous crimes would choose to hide here.
It was not hard to imagine how chaotic this city was when the cruelest group of people in Yuezhou gathered here.
Here, you can see the darkest side of human nature. At all times, this city would be filled with violent and bloody scenes. It was known as the most violent city in the entire Yuezhou.
As for small matters like cheating and stealing, it was a common occurrence in this city. Every single cultivator who lived here had to be careful and be on guard at all times. Or else their heads would be chopped off in the next second.
Coldness, cruelty, and numbness filled every corner of this city and every single person's body. Therefore, as time went on, people forgot the original name of this city and gave it a new name.
The City of Sin.
However, Ling Xian knew the original name of this city and knew of its history. He also knew that this city was related to a giant secret.
As for what the secret was, he had no idea.
"What a great irony. The ancient city that once protected the land of this province was named 'Evil' after so many years."
Ling Xian exclaimed. Out of curiosity, he once searched up ancient records about this city. Although those things had been annihilated in the long river of history, there would always be a few words passed down.
Therefore, after much effort, he finally figured out the city's name and history.
The Guardian City.
Legend had it that countless years ago, this city already existed in Yuezhou. It was the last line of defense for the human race, resisting the attacks of all the races in the world, and also resisting the legendary Extraterrestrial Demons.
In other words, without this city, Yuezhou would've been taken over by the foreign kinds a long time ago and the humans here would've been slaughtered. Therefore, to commemorate this glorious ancient city, people named it the Guardian City.
However, after countless years, people had forgotten the glorious achievements of this city and actually put the word 'evil' on its head. What kind of irony was this?
Even though the words' Guardian 'and' Evil 'weren't absolute opposites, their fundamental meanings weren't that different.
"Time truly is the most gentle bastard in the world."
Ling Xian softly sighed and mumbled to himself, "It can bury the truth and make people forget the glorious achievements of this city. What a heartless knife."
"But this has nothing to do with me. I will let the ignorant people continue to be ignorant. It's fine as long as I know the truth myself." Ling Xian softly grinned and walked towards the city gate.
This city was home to many villains and evildoers. Therefore, the population wasn't small and it was usually very lively.
Through the city gate, one could see people moving around on the streets. It was very lively.
Just as Ling Xian was about to enter the city, he suddenly stopped. Then, he erased his smile and his expression turned serious.
In the next second, he bowed down and paid his respect to the city, expressing his respect towards the Guardian City.
Even though this city was an inanimate object without any spirituality, its contributions to the human race were worthy of everyone's respect. This was why Ling Xian made such a strange move.
Just as he bowed and cupped his hands together, the majestic ancient city suddenly moved.
Originally, this city had an extremely powerful heavenly array. However, because it had been through the ages, it was used to defend against enemies. Therefore, the unparalleled array had been completely destroyed and no longer had any power.
Yet at this moment, the City of Sin seemed to have awakened because of Ling Xian's bow. The carvings on the city wall began to light up and emit a mysterious amount of energy.
Sadly, it only lasted for a second before it dimmed again.
"This Qi …"
Sensing the fleeting spiritual energy, Ling Xian frowned. He quickly released his Qi and carefully scanned the magnificent city before him.
However, no matter how he searched, he couldn't find anything strange. But he was very certain that what he felt just now was not wrong.
"My senses are not wrong. It seems like this city has many secrets." Ling Xian mumbled. He then suppressed this thought and decided to think about it later.
Because he was at the city gate, everyone in the city saw Ling Xian and saw what he did to the City of Sin. Immediately, sarcastic voices arose and mocked his strange behavior.
"What an idiot. Is his brain flooded with water?"
"Haha, he is bowing down to an entire city. This person must be an idiot."
"That's right. I am dying of laughter. What an idiot!"
Everyone in the city chimed in. Their voices were full of sarcasm.
It was true. Ling Xian's behavior was very strange. Bowing down to an entire city was not something a normal person would do. If it was anyone else, they would think that he was either a fool or an idiot.
But this Guardian City had made great contributions. Though it was a dead object, it deserved everyone's respect and was worthy of the omnipotent's respect!
Therefore, Ling Xian bowed down to show his respect.
It wasn't that his brain was damaged, it was that he was a person made of flesh and blood, a person who was loyal and righteous!
It was the people who were cursing him who were truly ignorant. They couldn't get any dumber.
"What a bunch of idiots. You don't even know the truth of history and you have the nerve to call me stupid."
Ling Xian glared at them, feeling far too lazy to get mad at them. After being bitten by a dog, it wasn't like he could bite back.
However, seeing that he didn't react, the group thought he was scared and began to mock him even more. There were even a few of them who were looking at him with malicious intent in their eyes.
In such an extremely chaotic place, the fist was the best explanation of reason. Whoever had the bigger fist could have everything, and the weak could only be bullied and humiliated.
Therefore, after seeing Ling Xian's silence and his weak demeanor, some people had the thought of killing him and taking his treasures.
"Based on this person's dressing and his Qi, he is obviously not from Yuezhou. He must be a cultivator from another continent."
"Hehe, normally, when nobles come here, they are always accompanied by many powerhouses. Yet this young man is alone. Either he is very talented and brave, or he was born into an ordinary family with low capabilities. "
"That's right. I think he is the latter. What kind of powerhouse would do such an idiotic thing?"
Everyone's face was full of sarcasm. As they mocked, they checked out Ling Xian. It was as if they were considering whether or not they should make a move against him.
"You want to kill me?"
Ling Xian revealed a cold grin. He was not a flower in a greenhouse who didn't know the ways of the world. Plus, he had lived in the City of Sin for a few years. How could he not know what these people were planning?
In this place, strength was equivalent to everything, and only strength could deter this group of fugitives. On the other hand, if one didn't have capabilities or appeared weak, then they could only allow themselves to be slaughtered!
"It looks like I need to scare these people." Ling Xian's expression was emotionless as he hissed.
"Hmmph!"
A cold snort echoed throughout the city. Like thunder from the nine heavens, like the rumble of a war drum, it was heavenly!
Instantly, everyone's face turned white. As if a hammer had smashed into their chests, they puked out a mouthful of blood.
Then, everyone's gaze changed. They were no longer looking down on him, nor did they have any ill intentions. All they had was shock. It was as if they had just seen the devil.
One cold snort made everyone puke blood. How dominating was this?
Why wouldn't they be shocked?!
"My god, just what cultivation level does this person have? One cold snort made me puke blood?"
"Oh no, this person must be of the completion level. Or else he wouldn't be this powerful!"
"We are finished. We provoked a completion leveled powerhouse. Which bastard said he was weak? Open your dog eyes and take a good look. You call this weak? "
"We are doomed. Completion leveled powerhouses are of high status and are extremely powerful. They can kill us with a flick of their finger!"
Everyone's heart was in shock. Fear was written all over their faces, and even their bodies were quivering.
Never in their wildest dreams would they have imagined that the person they thought was weak and easy to bully would actually cause them to cough up blood with just a cold snort. What was even more unexpected was that this seemingly young man was a powerhouse of the completion level!
It was as if you thought he was a sheep and just as you were about to swing your knife, you suddenly realized that the sheep had turned into a lion!
Remember that even in the City of Sin, there were only a few completion leveled powerhouses. Every single one of them was an important figure they could only look up to!
Therefore, how could these people not be fearful? Even though they were all criminals, they were terrified to the extreme. They were terrified that Ling Xian would wave his sleeve and their heads would roll onto the ground.
In the Taoism community, especially in the City of Sin, powerhouses have countless privileges. Ignoring the fact that they were the ones who insulted him first, even if Ling Xian was in a bad mood, he could kill them at will.
Therefore, these people were naturally terrified to the extreme.
However, would Ling Xian kill them?
No. Because if he did, he would feel like he was dirtying his hands.
