Chapter 423: Yuanyang City

“Join…” They froze. “Join your guild?”

He had asked them if they wanted to join his guild.

Li Lanruo was at a loss for words. For her, it had been a narrow escape that she had survived the raid by people from the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace, and she was still feeling unnerved by it.

However, the mysterious senior now invited her to join his guild?

“Certainly, I want to join it,” she said, “But… I’ve caused you enough trouble today by making you a foe of the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace. How can I bring more trouble to you?”

The people in Half City all sent bullet comments. [No trouble! No trouble at all! He even beat Nanhua Fairy Liu’s mount with a brick and suppressed an old demon into a Smirking Face Emoji. There’s nothing that this old demon doesn’t dare to do!]

Ruan Ning: [My goodness. Even Old Demon Fang can be a senior…]

People like Ruan Ning and Xi Yue commented while they watched the livestream, “Soon, Old Demon Fang will lead the newbies off the orthodox way…”

Looking at the bullet comments, Mr. Fang said while his face twitched, “Can you guys stop trying to cause trouble?”

Then, he said to the people who he rescued, “It’s no trouble at all. They messed with our Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild, and it’s them who are in trouble.”

“This…?” The elder stroked his beard and thought for a while before saying, “Then, I thank you on behalf of Li Family.”

Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild… they thought, It sounds powerful.

Li Lanruo thought, This senior’s strength is so high, and he has a powerful force behind him. Is it possible…

Startled, she glanced at Fang Qi subconsciously and thought, I s it possible that he has reached the realm of returning to youth from old age that is described in the legends?!

Mr. Fang’s identity had now changed from Old Demon Fang to the righteous Senior Fang who had returned to youth after living for hundreds or thousands of years.

In Half City, the people thought that he could be 200 years old. Now, he was over 500 years old in these people’s eyes.

Of course, Mr. Fang was oblivious to their speculations. As a young man in his twenties, he knew nothing about the presence and aura of a grandmaster.

Perhaps the others thought that he was old since he looked dominating. Mr. Fang might be lacking in some areas, but he indeed knew how to show off. With hands in his pockets, he leisurely flew on his flying sword while the others tried to catch up with him. Even though the cultivators of Li Family were trying their best and had white foam around their mouths due to fatigue, the distance between them got greater each second.

Then, Mr. Fang turned to them. “The flying speed of people in this place isn’t very fast… Do you want me to take you on the flight?”

The cultivators of the Li Family all nodded enthusiastically.

…

The journey was enjoyable while they flew past the famous mountains and rivers on the flying swords. On the way, Fang Qi showed the cultivators and warriors from both shops the scenery beyond the Deserted Sea Realm.

As new members of the guild, Li Lanruo and the others acted as tour guides and explained to Fang Qi the customs of this place and the forces on it.

“Look! Look at the herds of demon beasts below!”

“Look up at the huge demon bird! We don’t have such creatures here!” A blue-feathered, sparrow-like demon bird that was tens of meters long flew over Fang Qi and the others, casting a shadow on them.

They flew past many spiritual mountains and beautiful rivers full of demon beasts and birds. On their way, they saw several places where cultivators gathered and passed by some cultivator and warrior forces. Many cultivators lived in the cities built high on the mountains, presenting to Fang Qi and the people in the two shops a world more prosperous than the Deserted Sea Realm.

More importantly, they rarely saw ordinary people in the big cities. There were even cultivators and warriors stationed in remote towns where ordinary people lived. They would find and recruit talented mortals to cultivate and train in their factions. Even the mortals with ordinary talent had the opportunity to learn some skills to defend the towns or hunt demon beasts for a living.

The warriors here toughened their bodies with special techniques, so they didn’t have to spend a fortune on elixirs and spiritual plants, which made it quite easy to become an Official Warrior. With the abundant spiritual essence in this world, it was a great place for cultivators and warriors to live.

“Yuanyang City is right there before us.” Li Lanruo pointed forward at a huge city on a high mountain that was flanked by high cliffs and surrounded by other mountains. “This is the nearest big city to Heavenly Academy. Before the academy begins the exam, the disciples from all the major forces would stay here.

“Each exam of the Heavenly Academy would attract elites from all over the world,” Li Lanruo said, “Even the world-famous families will send their young members to study in the Heavenly Academy; some factions will even send their direct disciples to cultivate in the Heavenly Academy.”

“This awesome?” Fang Qi clicked his tongue and looked at the elegant woman wearing the silk dress. “From the looks of it, it will be very hard for you to get into the Heavenly Academy, right? You still traveled so far to try it?”

At this topic, Li Lanruo said sadly, “I was forced into a corner and have to try it…”

With a heavy sigh, the elder who had lost one arm said, “Nangong Jiuwen’s pursuit of us means that the Li Family of Xifeng Cliff has probably been wiped off the world; I’m afraid that even the other families in Xifeng Cliff have gotten the same fate. We’re the last of the Family, and we have to try to sustain the family bloodline.”

Mr. Fang said, “How come you guys are in such a terrible state?”

The others looked embarrassed.

They looked at each other, and Li Lanruo said, “It’s not that I love the treasure so much that I don’t want to hand it over. The truth is that the Mystic Fate Jade has merged with my bloodline, and I can’t get it out…”

Mr. Fang waved his hand. “You can keep your treasure; I didn’t ask you about it. Let’s go into the city!”

The grand city built between two high cliffs was very close to them.

They looked around and saw many luxurious spiritual boats docked before the city. The people going in or out of the gate were all dressed in robes that emitted bright spiritual lights; they were either young people or grand cultivators with high cultivation strengths. People rode precious rare beasts on the wide streets which could accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages in different lanes, and they looked either celestial or valiant, obviously not ordinary people.

Fraught with extraordinary people, this city was no less prosperous than any city for mortals, let alone the fact that a grand event was happening. Members of major families who were wearing all kinds of luxurious clothes wandered the city; some looked proud while others seemed aloof.

It seemed like they had arrived at a true city of Celestial Warriors and Cultivators.
