Chapter 449: Ancient Yao (I)
On the bluestone-paved roads, carriages rolled back and forth. The streets were crowded, filled with vendors' cries and hawkers' shouts without end. Ruyang City was bustling with life. The emergence of the space-time node had turned this place into a trial ground for many martial artists and cultivators, while the city itself served as a place of rest between trials. The appearance of yaos and demons had not thrown the residents into panic.Though ordinary residents were worried about the future, under Great Wei's propaganda, almost none chose to flee. Instead, they turned that fear into fervent prayer. The common folk believed that as long as they were devout enough, the all-powerful Supreme Celestial Sovereign of the Myriad Dao and the Golden Palace would protect the city. Meanwhile, the constant influx of people made this once lower-ranked city even more prosperous.
"Over here!"
Suddenly, a squad of soldiers pushed through the crowd and entered a tavern on the left. Lin Zheyu cast them a curious glance. The leader was clearly strong, and the aura on him felt rather strange.
Lin Zheyu had already been in Ruyang City for a full day.
He was no reckless fool who would rush into the space-time node without knowing anything. He had deliberately entered the city and mingled in the chaotic taverns to gather information.
In this tavern alone, he sensed three Martial Innate realm martial artists. Cultivators who had transitioned from martial cultivation to the Immortal Dao were easy to identify. Their physiques were stronger than ordinary cultivators, their vitality more vigorous, and they carried a distinct presence. That presence came from the Grandmaster's will forged at the Grandmaster realm of martial cultivation.
A burst of intense commotion rang out. The surrounding crowd quickly stood and backed away. Lin Zheyu did the same.
"Where do you think you're going?" the leading man shouted. With a flick of his right hand, a rope glowing with green light shot out, flying straight toward Lin Zheyu's direction.
Lin Zheyu was slightly startled, but he quickly reacted.
"Ah!"
"Ahh!"
