Chapter 1594 (1/2)
Crisis outside the City</spoiler>
Purple Sun City, the only large city in the Purple Sun Great Realm, possessed a history stretching back millions of years.
The vast ancient city already experienced the baptism of countless years, but it remained standing, proclaiming an ancient legend.
An incredibly beautiful ferocious beast sculpture towered above the city gates, placed on a patch of purple clouds.
It depicted the legendary Golden Crow Holy Beast that was born in fire. Every single feather of its outspread wings glistened with golden light, giving off an ancient aura.
Ages ago, this Purple Sun Great Realm was a mecca for the Golden Crow Race. Hence, Purple Sun City was built on the Golden Crow Race's ruins.
Although pure-blooded Golden Crows were already extinct and the descendants of the Golden Crow bloodlines had left long ago, the local cultivators still wors.h.i.+ped the divine bird that was born in fire.
The local cultivators' love and respect for the Golden Crow were evident from the various signs and marks in Purple Sun City.
Purple Sun City sat in the center of this vast continent, surrounded by boundless desert and yellow sand.
However, all this did not impact this city's prosperity and liveliness.
This was only because Purple Sun City was the capital of the entire Purple Sun Region. Countless people from thousands of great realms in the Purple Sun Region came to this place.
This city hosted many businesses here to trade.
Very few cultivators were native to the Purple Sun Great Realm. It was said that there had been a prestigious Rank 3 sect here long ago.
However, it fell into decline for some reason. After being surrounded and attacked, it was destroyed, vanis.h.i.+ng into the river of history.
After that, Purple Sun City became a neutral city.
Now, there were only a few strong Rank 2 sects rooted near Purple Sun City, counterbalancing one another.
Most of the cultivators here had come to seek something or to sell their treasures.
The city before Xiao Chen was the largest in the entire Purple Sun Region. All the cultivators here were at least in the Veritable Personage Realm. Occasionally, one could see Primal Core cultivators.
This city was very complicated, filled with people from all walks of life and levels.
Sometimes, the person that one met casually on the street might be a Major Primal Core Realm peak expert. Such encounters were not rare.
At this moment, a black, horse-drawn war chariot rushed along the road, kicking up dust and yellow sand.
Naturally, the ones inside the chariot were Xiao Chen, Luo Nan, and Fei`er.
There was a dedicated anchorage for s.h.i.+ps like pirate s.h.i.+ps in Purple Sun City, so they had parted from Xiao Chen's crew.
”There really are many experts.”
Xiao Chen came out and sat beside Xiao Suo, observing the surroundings.
Earlier, two mutated beasts ridden by Minor Primal Core cultivators pa.s.sed Xiao Chen's chariot.
In other great realms, it was not that easy to see a Primal Core cultivator. One was already considered an expert upon reaching the Veritable Personage Realm.
When one advanced to the Primal Core Realm, one would be known as a Venerate. Everywhere one went, one would be respected by others.
However, the rules were apparently different in Purple Sun City.
”Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”
Just as the Cycle War Chariot was about to enter the city gates, two figures descended from the air and blocked it.
Xiao Suo pulled hard on the reins, appearing angry.
Then, he sized up the two before him. They were two middle-aged men. One of them showed a heavy murderous intent on his face while the other revealed a sinister smile. Clearly, they were up to no good.
”Big Brother, the area around Purple Sun City has always been chaotic. There are often people who are blind and try to bully others and extort a toll.”
Xiao Chen found the situation strange. ”These two people are just half-step Primal Core cultivators, yet they dare to target you?”
”How would I know? These days, there are always reckless people.” The black-clad expert, Xiao Suo, shrugged in puzzlement.
Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Suo and somewhat understood.
Xiao Suo had withdrawn his aura. Furthermore, after traveling along the yellow-sand-swept road, he was already covered with dust. So, he completely looked the part of a coachman.
