Chapter 404 - 398 Ling Family (2nd Update)
The next second, Ling Long explained, "On the Divine Martial Continent, humans are the dominants, but not the only dominants. Demon Beasts are terrifying and horrifying; if not for their disunity and lack of cohesion among their race, humans might even be at risk of being annihilated by the Demon Beast Clan! Throughout generations, Demon Beasts and humans have been mortal enemies! Humans cultivate using Demon Beasts’ essence blood, flesh, and skeletons as martial cultivation resources. The vital essence of a Demon Beast’s body is the best nourishment for Martial Cultivators. Similarly, for Demon Beasts, humans are food, and not just any food but the highest quality! Thus, according to the ’Chronicle of Divine Martial,’ ever since there were humans and Demon Beasts, they have been mortal enemies and adversaries! Cities, being gathering places for human Martial Cultivators, must have thick walls and broad moats for defense, otherwise, human cities cannot withstand the Demon Beast armies! Therefore, Wind Chant City is not special or unique; almost every city on the Divine Martial Continent is like this!"
"I see," Su Chen nodded, understanding.
"Let’s go into the city! Oh, do you have Mysterious Stones?" Ling Long asked, "Entering any city requires a contribution of martial cultivation resources because the city is considered absolutely safe, and this safety comes at a cost, not for free. For a city like Wind Chant City, which is only considered lower-mid tier on the Divine Martial Continent, it’s not expensive – ten Mysterious Stones per person!"
"Mysterious Stones, I don’t have any!" Su Chen touched his nose; indeed, he had no Mysterious Stones, only Zixuan Stones.
"I have some!"
Then,
The two walked onto the drawbridge.
First, they handed over the Mysterious Stones, then continued forward, the drawbridge lined with rows of city guards standing still like pillars on either side, and after crossing the drawbridge...
The city gate was right before them.
This gate was very special.
