Chapter 521: The Holy city (2/2)

This guard already knew that any disciple of the Holy sect had more authority than him in the city, so asking for payment from Shun Long was no different than asking for payment from his direct superior.

Even his own superior only had a status where he could look at Shun Long and the rest of the disciples of the Holy sect as equals within the city.

At the same time, it was only now that the remaining cultivators around him looked at Shun Long's robes with hints of envy in their eyes.

An outer disciple of the Holy sect! How many of them wished that they could enter the sect only to be mercilessly slapped by the difficulty of the trials?

Of course, no one could blame the first guard for not paying attention to Shun Long's robes and realizing that he was an outer disciple, as most outer disciples of the Holy sect wouldn't line up here and would directly skip the queue and enter the city as soon as they arrived.

After all, this was their own city, the Holy sect's city.

Why would they voluntarily line up and wait along with the rest of the commoners?

Additionally, most outer disciples of the sect came from the huge families and clans, as well as the rest of the big powers who lived in the territory of the Holy sect, so this sentiment was even further ingrained in their minds.

Of course, the guard who had explained this to Shun Long had already guessed that Shun Long didn't belong to any of the powerful families or clans in the territory of the Holy sect, otherwise he would have already known about this.

Nodding his head, Shun Long thanked the second guard, and without paying any attention to the first guard whose face had turned even paler during this time, he stepped past the city gates and entered the Holy city.

The moment that he stepped inside the city, luxurious homes and mansions, as well as big shops that spanned further than the eye could see filled Shun Long's vision, bringing along with them the vitality of an extremely bustling city.

Knowing that there were still 3 days until merchant Ying Gui and his caravan left the Holy city, Shun Long decided to first take a look around and see what the Holy city had to offer.

After all, there was no way that the city wouldn't possibly have anything that would catch his attention.

Indeed, after leisurely walking around the city for 2 hours while taking in the sights around him, Shun Long finally stopped in front of an enormous tower more than 3.000 meters(9850ft) tall near the heart of the city.

The 2 words on the tower's entrance immediately attracted Shun Long's attention, while his eyes were quickly filled with a look of curiosity as well, as he mumbled to himself

''Dao Tower?''
