Chapter 515: Desperate History! (For an additional hundred monthly votes!)
The walls of Golden Spear Immortal City are over thirty zhang high and stretch for more than ten miles on each side.
They are inscribed with various runes such as "solid" and "force release," each serving different purposes.
From afar, it looks like a mountain range, giving off an indestructible feeling.
Unlike human cultivators, the bodies of demonic beasts are enormous; it is not unusual for a first-stage demonic beast to be several zhang in size, and second-stage demonic beasts can even reach ten zhang.
Thus, the "Immortal City" built to defend against these beasts must be tall and wide enough; otherwise, a single leap from a demonic beast could easily breach the defenses, leading to a very passive situation.
The effectiveness of the Immortal City would also be greatly diminished.
Walking along the spacious streets of Golden Spear City, Liu Yu casually glanced around and found many signs of expansion and renovation.
Upon closer inspection, this has only been the case for about ten years.
However, despite the expansion, with the power of the three major sects, the city has developed quite well; it is definitely not just a facade.
When a Golden Core master travels, there are early-arriving disciples from the two sects clearing the way in front, forcing unrelated cultivators to stand aside, watching the two masters with awe.
With people leading the way in front and others following behind, the cultivators on both sides watched from a distance.
One must admit that in the current cultivation world, the spectacle of a Golden Core master traveling is indeed quite grand, and Liu Yu experienced it thoroughly.
However, the envious gazes from low-level cultivators were meaningless, so the two moved very quickly.
After about a quarter of an hour, the imposing city lord's mansion came into view.
As Liu Yu looked at the city lord's mansion, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly but said nothing more.
Perhaps due to being built by the three sects jointly, the city lord’s mansion mixed features from them all, appearing somewhat out of place.
But these were just minor details and did not affect the overall impression.
"Friend Qingyang, please."
"I have already sent a message, so at this time, the other two friends should be waiting in the conference hall," Daoist Cangyun said with a smile.
"Please!"
Liu Yu cupped his hands in response, and the two stepped into the mansion together.
As for the qi refinement foundation cultivators, they waited outside the city lord’s mansion, lacking the qualifications to participate in high-level discussions.
Watching his Shishu’s disappearing figure, Yan Kai's eyes flashed with eagerness, showing no intention of leaving his spot.
He wanted to wait for Liu Yu to come out so he could introduce the situation here.
For a foundation establishment cultivator to stay in a frontline such as Golden Spear City was still too dangerous.
When the demonic beasts surged in, escaping would be an arduous wish.
After all, the escape speed of most cultivators is inferior to that of demonic beasts of the same level.
"With my relationship with Shishu Liu, arranging a safer task shouldn’t be too difficult, right?"
"As long as I can carry out the task in a safer location and use a few of my trump cards, survival should not be hard."
"Then I can take advantage of the chaos..."
Thinking this way, Yan Kai felt much more at ease.
After so many years, he was no longer that hot-blooded young cultivator from back then.
He had transformed into a piece of “rolling meat” that couldn’t be cut or boiled.
...
Due to the purpose of the expansion of Golden Spear City, it was destined to lack unnecessary decorations; everything served the purpose of resisting demonic beasts.
There were no pavilions or palaces, and after walking some distance into the city lord’s mansion, the big characters "Conference Hall" entered their sight.
"Eh?"
"It’s actually her?"
Looking across the threshold and spotting a familiar figure, Liu Yu’s heart moved.
