Chapter 264 The Perfect Hiding Place
A long time ago, Xuanxuan told Ji Tianxing about the structure and situation of the Ancient Star Realm.
She mentioned Yanling City and introduced it in detail.
Yanling City is the only city in Xingchen Ancient Territory.
This ancient city, which has existed for nearly a thousand years, is located in the central area of the ancient realm, only five hundred miles away from Xingchen Peak.
Yanling City is not big, covering an area of only a hundred miles, and only hundreds of thousands of people live in it.
But these hundreds of thousands of people are all warriors, and there are many martial arts masters, and a few strong ones live in seclusion.
Less than half of the people living in the city are descendants of the aborigines in the ancient realm, and their ancestors have lived in the ancient realm for generations.
Most of the people are inextricably linked with the eight major sects.
Many people are the descendants of the disciples of the Eight Sects, and they thrived in Yanling City, spreading branches and leaves, and developing to the scale it is today.
Although Yanling City is small, it is very prosperous.
There are hundreds of thousands of warriors gathered in this city, so it is naturally also the gathering place for news about the Ancient Star Realm.
The disciples of the eight major sects often go to Yanling City when they go out to practice, inquire about news in the city, or buy and replace some cultivation resources.
Ji Tianxing guessed that the picture of the mountain was a clue about the Sky Star Pearl.
But he couldn't see the secret hidden in that painting, so he could only go to Yanling City to find a way to investigate this matter.
Qianyue had never heard of Yanling City, so she immediately asked Ji Tianxing curiously.
"Let's talk as we walk." Ji Tianxing smiled, jumped onto its back and sat down.
Qianyue quickly flapped her wings and flew into the sky, flying towards the north at a leisurely pace.
During the rush, Ji Tianxing introduced the situation of Yanling City to it.
After Qianyue finished listening, she was naturally full of excitement and yearning, and just wanted to enter the city as soon as possible to see what happened.
...
In the mountains five hundred miles away from the magic cave, there is a towering mountain peak.
Under the dark night, two tall figures were standing on a boulder on the top of the mountain, looking in the direction of the magic cave.
One of them, an old man in a black robe with a height of more than two meters and bare feet, was the high priest.
The blood-stained woman in black leather armor next to him was Princess Blood Moon.
The expressions of both of them were very gloomy and cold, and there was monstrous anger and murderous intent in their eyes.
"Damn Qingtianzong! You actually slaughtered so many warriors of our clan, and even destroyed the magic cave where we have lived for many years!"
Princess Xueyue roared angrily, her voice was hoarse and trembling, full of murderous intent.
The high priest's voice was cold, and he said in a low tone: "Not only the Qingtian Sect, but also the Xinyue Sect, Liuhe Sect and Danding Sect! Sooner or later, I will make them pay back their debts tenfold!"
Princess Xueyue clenched her fists secretly, and asked in a low voice: "High Priest, we left in a hurry, there are still many important things in the magic cave, and it's too late to take them away..."
Before she finished speaking, the high priest shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it, the magic cave has been destroyed, and we can't find it when we go back."
Princess Xueyue was full of reluctance, and frowned and asked: "The magic cave has been destroyed, and now we are the only two left to escape, and there is nowhere to hide..."
"Could it be that we are leaving the ancient realm and returning to the tribe?"
The high priest shook his head again, and said indifferently: "We have suffered such a huge loss and ended up in such an embarrassing situation. If we return to the tribe, how will we explain to Lord Demon King?"
"Then what should we do? Where else can we go?" Princess Xueyue looked at him sideways and asked in a low voice.
The high priest thought for a moment, then came up with an idea, and said in a low voice: "I know an excellent place for us to hide, and we will never be discovered by the Qingtian Sect!"
...
Before I knew it, three hours had passed.
It was early morning at this time, and the sky showed a fish-belly white.
Qian Yue arrived at Yanling City and landed on a vast plain.
This plain is at least a hundred miles in radius, and if you look around, you can only see endless grass and forests.
Qian Yue looked around for a few times, then asked Ji Tianxing suspiciously: "Old Ji, didn't you say that you have arrived? Where is Yanling City?"
Ji Tianxing pointed to the grass under his feet, and said with a smile: "This is Yanling City, but the city is protected by a large formation, so ordinary people can't see it."
Only then did Qianyue suddenly realize, and said with a light smile: "No wonder I feel that the plain is weird, and there is a faint aura of formation."
Ji Tianxing walked to the depths of the grassland, observing all around with sharp eyes.
When he walked a hundred steps away, he saw a black stone tablet half a person's height hidden in a cluster of thick and tall grass.
On the stone tablet are written the three big silver characters of 'Yanling City', and engraved with formation patterns and symbols.
He stared at the stele for a second and then smiled.
"Qianyue, if you want to take a stroll around the city with me, you'd better get smaller."
"Okay." Qianyue nodded in response, her body shrinking rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it turned back to the size of a kitten, jumped onto Ji Tianxing's shoulder and squatted.
Only then did Ji Tianxing take out the Qingtian Token, stick it on the black stone tablet, and silently inject real energy.
I saw a silver light lit up on the black stone tablet, exuding a strong aura of formation.
The formation in Yanling City was opened, and the scene in front of Ji Tianxing also changed.
There was nothing in front of him, as if blocked by an invisible membrane.
"Shua!"
After the big formation was activated, the invisible membrane immediately dissipated, allowing the real scene to appear before his eyes.
The vast and boundless grasslands and forests are illusions created by the formation.
After the phantom disappeared, an ancient and vicissitudes of the black city appeared in front of Ji Tianxing out of thin air.
This is a square ancient city. The city wall is made of huge black stones, about ten meters high, exuding a majestic and heavy atmosphere.
Those black boulders are extremely hard, and have been etched by thousands of years and wind and frost, but they also left mottled and rough traces.
The wide and tall city gate was tightly closed, and the three large characters of "Yanling City" were engraved on the lintel, and the handwriting was already somewhat blurred.
Ji Tianxing was still standing beside the stele, but his feet turned into a wide black stone avenue, leading straight to the front, connecting the tall city gate.
Qianyue was still looking up at Yanling City with her little head up, while Ji Tianxing was already walking towards the city gate.
The city gate was empty, and there was no one in sight.
When Ji Tian walked under the city gate, two middle-aged warriors in armor walked out of the tower on the city wall.
These two were the guards guarding the city gate, and they both had strengths around the second level of the Tongxuan Realm.
The two stood on the city wall, looked down at Ji Tianxing from a high position, and asked in a dignified voice: "If you are not from the Ancient Star Realm, you are not allowed to enter Yanling City."
"Show your identity token!"
Ji Tianxing knew the rules of Yanling City, only the disciples of the eight major sects and the residents of the city could enter and leave.
The disciples of the eight sects all have tokens, and the common people living in Yanling City also have identity tokens.
All in all, only those who hold the identity token can open the formation of Yanling City and be eligible to enter the city.
