221 Chapter 221 (2/2)

He inserted some of his Qi into his own eyes. They flickered with golden electricity before he saw the effect. His vision was enhanced and he could see a massive city in the distance. Even from here, he could tell that it was highly populated.

This city's size was vastly larger than any other one that he had been in. Even his New Spirit Spring City wasn't this big. There were probably tens or even hundreds of millions of people living in it. There were multiple checkpoints along the way that surrounded the land by massive walls.

He could even see some flying ships floating in the air with the Yinglong company's rain dragon flag. They were expected to arrive so they were let through without a problem. Though he noticed that people were quite interested in his large ship that was dwarfing everything that they had seen.

The closer they got the more of the large city he could see. The architecture was similar to every other metropolitan he had seen before. Large pagodas and buildings with traditional slanted roofs were everywhere.

The structures at the front were smaller but everything rose up the further you looked. Right in the middle was a giant pagoda tower which was probably the main palace. It reached up into the sky and you could see some magical beasts flying around it along with some sword cultivators.

'That banquet is going to take place there. I'm supposed to meet Xu Qing the Dragon Gate's Patriarch tomorrow.'

Xu Qing was the name of the man that brought him over here. Most people would see this as an honor or a privilege. He on the other hand felt like it was a hassle. Still, what needed to be done had to be done. He floated back into the warmer climate of his ship and went back inside after checking out the surroundings.

He met up with Feng Maling with the rest of the old man group. When he entered the large meeting room everyone gave him the usual bow.

He didn't really know most of these people Zhang Kuo had gathered. Some of them were even his relatives from his side family. There was a small group of old women that looked like baked potatoes similar to Feng Mailing. He didn't think that any of the old masters or the younger ones would be interested in starting a feud over them.

The old men weren't lookers either and he could already tell from the way they were repeatedly bowing that they knew how to kiss ass. He was glad that he picked an oldie squad like this, with them around they shouldn't be offending other people.

They might lose some face due to only bringing over old men and women. With him around, he hoped that they wouldn't try to start fights. There was a certain threshold that he wouldn't cross until he would act. He hoped that this gathering of the middle-sized sects would go smoothly.

There were even sects that were in a weaker position than he was. He at least was considered to be equal or stronger to some of the sect leaders due to his fight against Yang Guanyu all those years ago. Zhang Dong was considered to be one of the rising stars in the senior generation and some eyes were on him. This was at least what this spy network had dug up. Still, his power was unproven in the eyes of most of these masters.

”We will proceed as discussed, you will conduct yourself accordingly and keep a low profile during this assignment.”

Zhang Dong gave his group of elders the last talk before they left outside. They were to mostly keep to themselves, not offend anyone and call him over if it got out of hand.

”That is all, they will probably assign us some kind of hotel or mansion to stay at, so you will probably spend some time there.”

Apparently moving in the city wasn't such a good idea if you weren't in good faith with the city lord. The man that owned this city was an old master that was in the great circle of the nascent soul. There were also various other monsters hiding in the background ready to pounce at anyone that didn't follow their laws.

The seniors nodded, they were still surprised that their young leader chose them to tag along. This was quite an honor to be allowed to witness this mythical city. This was something that they didn't think they would be able to accomplish in their lifetime.

The Yinglong Pavilion company was the most famous one in the whole empire. Being able to come to their main city was something to die for. They would be even allowed to look at the sights later on or go to the exclusive auction house. It was the biggest one in the whole country and even the Long Clan members went there to bid for treasures.

”United Element Sect, move out!”

Zhang Dong moved outside and the elders were right behind him. They were all core formation experts as being someone below that level would be too shameful for even them. Even though they were old with the help of the improved techniques, these old men and women would give a good fight to anyone in the same realm as they were. They would probably come out on top in most cases.

The time to mingle with the crowds had arrived and the welcoming party was already waiting for them.
