C67 (2/2)
In the past ten days, the daily income of spirit stones was equivalent to the income of the past half year. Since the news was spread that the Lai Yu Demon King was an esteemed guest of the sect, the number of cultivators seeking protection began to decrease.
The foreign cultivators and the cultivators in the city had to avoid encountering the Riley King. Very few cultivators went in and out of the city, and the income of the four city gates was less than 10%.
In the past, there were more than two guards at the city gate. Five days ago, there were dozens of guards at the gate, but now there were only two guards at the gate.
Five days later, there were no longer many guards at the city gate to maintain order. Cultivators in the city went berserk and urgently needed the guards to maintain order. Thus, a large number of guards at the city gate were transferred into the city.
Maintaining order was an arduous chore. It wasn't as relaxing as guarding the city gate. When one had time off, they could still chat.
”Yeah, I heard the Demon King is going to the sect as a guest. It's all thanks to the little princess.”
The city of Songyu was the meeting point of the four cities, and was also the core trading city. It was managed by the Master and the three big palms, and the gate of the city was guarded by the direct disciples of the four cities.
The west gate was guarded by the disciples under Su Liang. The little princess they spoke of was Su He, Su Liang's daughter.
”Little Princess, you really can't stop!”
”I heard that when the Little Princess went missing, she almost frightened the Patriarch!”
The city guards were mostly new disciples, core city guards. Their cultivation couldn't be too low, so naturally they would enter the sect for a longer period of time. The two of them had already been in the sect for about a hundred years.
However, based on seniority, Su Liang was still their Martial Ancestor.
”That's right!”
”Fortunately, I'm fine!”
Just as the two of them were rejoicing that the Little Princess was fine, something happened to them immediately.
The cultivators with low cultivations couldn't release their spiritual sense, but their eyes were much more intelligent than mortals. The two were chatting, and as one person looked into the distance, they suddenly saw a figure appear, rushing towards the city gate.
It looked like a pig, like a pig, with the features of a pig. It looked like a man, running on two hind legs, with a leather bag and a belt tied around his waist.
”You, look, that, is that the Rare Words Demon King!?”
The person who didn't notice the shadow that was rushing over heard his companion's stuttering. It didn't seem fake, but when he looked up, the shadow's appearance and behavior was the same as the rumored Demon King, giving him a fright.
”Quick, quickly go and tell the elders that the Riley King is here!”
In the past, when a great character came to the city gates, they only needed to send someone to inform the elders. Now that the Ringwords Demon King had come and found out that it wasn't something to be trifled with, the two of them didn't dare to stay at the city gates.
”...”
”Eh, why did those two stupid hats run away?”
”Don't you want to charge me to enter the city?”
In the distance, he saw the city guards leave their posts without permission. They were hiding in the city, waiting for their comrades to arrive. Chi Dan did not understand the city guards' actions.
”You still have the nerve to say it!”
The city guards abandoned the city gates and left. This was not the first time Tian Ci and Chi Dan had seen such a sight.
”Haha, it's good that no one's here. I've saved the money to enter the city!”
Since the city guards had already left, wouldn't that mean that no one would be able to collect the entry fee? Wouldn't that be the same as saving the entrance fee for a group of humans and beasts?
Far away from the cultivation world's core city, every time you enter a city, heaven sent people to pay for the seashells, while you and Chi Dan can directly enter. Near the cultivation world, entering the city requires you to pay spirit stones, and only then will Fu Yun personally pay for the seashells.
Knowing that it would cost him spirit stones to enter the city, Fu Yun would collect some spirit stones from the cultivator customers. Even if he didn't have spirit stones, it didn't matter. He would simply start a business at the city gates, and with spirit stones, entering the city wouldn't be a problem.
Ever since he had learned that spirit stones could increase cultivation, every time he had to pay a spirit stone to enter the city, the red cores would be in pain for a long time. When he had entered the city, he had to pay a spirit stone.
After saying that, he swung his tail, ignoring his partner and Huo Luan, and ran into the city. It was like this, whenever it got lucky, it wagged its tail.
The fact that Little Dan was greedy for money was not a big deal normally. More importantly, he had outsiders present. It was such a shame that Little Dan did not know how to control himself. He was embarrassed by Huo Luan's big brother's smile.
”Brother Huo Luan, I've let you down!”
The first time they left the sect, they were also charged with spirit stones when they entered the city. Huo Luan knew that spirit stones were a rarity to demonic beasts and mortals, so she could understand Chi Dan's actions.
”I'm fine!” ”Let's enter the city!”
His senior brother had left and only left him with thirty spirit stones. His senior brother had instructed him not to use them carelessly, and now that he had to pay a fee to enter the city, it was truly troublesome.
However, Little Dan was right. It would be best if they could hide since they had saved the money to enter the city.
Two people and one beast entered the city while the guards were still guarding the entrance.
