Chapter 521: The Holy city (1/2)

Since he had just arrived in the central region for less than a month, Shun Long didn't know anything about the city situated at the foot of the Holy mountain aside from the fact that it was called the Holy city.

Of course, since the city had such a name and it was also located directly in front of the mountain where the Holy sect was located, anyone would realize that the city had a connection with the Holy sect and it may even be managed by the sect directly.

20 minutes later, Shun Long had already descended the gigantic Holy mountain and had circled around the periphery of the Holy city as he arrived in front of the city's entrance.

Although Shun Long had guessed that the Holy city was probably just as big as the biggest city in the Night star continent, the Heaven's Dome city, after arriving in front of the huge city gates and seeing the hundreds of luxurious carriages lining up one after the other to enter the city, he realized that this city was much more bustling than the Heaven's Dome city instead.

Thousands of cultivators were lined up in front of Shun Long as they waited to enter inside the city as well, while the city guards on top of the city walls as well as those in front of the city gates who were responsible for allowing cultivators to enter made sure to keep everyone in order.

The heavy breathing of the magic beasts that were pulling the carriages as well as the fervor and excitement of the cultivators who were about to step enter the city for the first time gave an entirely different atmosphere to this city.

Just like the rest of the cultivators, Shun Long queued up in front of the city gates as he waited for his turn to come.

Even though there were thousands of cultivators lining up on foot as well as hundreds of carriages by their side, the guards in front of the city gates were extremely efficient, and in just an hour, it was already Shun Long's turn.

Stretching his hand out, the guard looked at Shun Long with an impassive face and said seriously

''100 middle-grade spiri-''

Slap!

Before he could finish his words the guard felt someone slap him at the back of his head, making him turn around and stare at the guard that was standing behind him furiously.

However, before the first guard could open his mouth and berate his friend, the second guard looked at him with an angry look on his face before he turned his attention towards Shun Long and spoke while cupping his hands

''Young lord, please forgive this idiot and go ahead. As a disciple of the Holy sect of course you don't have to pay anything to enter the city.''

The first guard who had a furious look on his face immediately turned around when he heard the words 'disciple of the Holy sect'. And yet, the moment he noticed that Shun Long was indeed wearing the robes of an outer disciple of the sect his face turned pale in an instant.

He had actually disregarded a disciple of the Holy sect!

Whether it was the weakest outer disciple or not or that the guard was at the peak of rank 1 of the Nascent Soul, it didn't matter in the slightest.
