Chapter 701: Guidance at Night?
"Friend, your words are very true. I completely agree."
"Therefore, as soon as the Immortal Court's policy was issued, I hurriedly brought all of you fellow cultivators here."
After retracting his identity document, Liu Yu smiled and said.
Taking advantage of the brief moment during the identity check, he struck up a casual conversation with the golden core guard, subtly inquiring about some information.
Through their exchange, Liu Yu learned that this guard was named "Tang Wanshan," hailing from a small sect in the Central Domain, and was a cultivator practicing the dual cultivation of law and body.
As he had anticipated, the situation in the East Continent was quite complicated.
Along the long border, low-level demonic beasts were increasingly appearing, already showing signs of sweeping into the continent. Shadows of third and fourth-order demonic cultivators were also frequently seen.
On the Human Race's side, the number of cultivators in the border Immortal City was also rising, preparing to defend against the potential attacks from the demonic beasts.
The atmosphere in the East Continent was becoming heavier with each passing day.
"Wishing you a smooth journey, fellow cultivator."
After checking the identities of all eight people, the middle-aged man Tang Wanshan clasped his hands.
"See you again."
Liu Yu returned the gesture and signaled Guo Poyun, Zhang Yi, and the others to follow as they walked out of the teleportation hall, heading to the streets of the Immortal City.
Originally an ordinary Immortal City, it had gained a fleeting prosperity due to the increasing number of cultivators coming to the East Continent amidst the tense situation.
Looking around, the streets were bustling with people, and the proportion of high-level cultivators was even higher than expected.
Almost every fifty people had a golden core cultivator among them.
Various stalls were everywhere, with many cultivators actively preparing, sharpening their weapons and getting ready to hunt demonic beasts, hoping to make a fortune in the process.
The demonic race was indeed powerful, but this was the Central Domain!
No cultivator would believe that the situation would deteriorate too far; Central Domain cultivators had their own pride.
Instead, they saw this as a great opportunity to earn spiritual stones and give the demonic race a taste of their strength!
So Liu Yu observed that although the atmosphere in the Immortal City was oppressive, the cultivators' attitudes were not pessimistic; most were making active preparations.
He led the seven others, leisurely wandering around the Immortal City, quietly feeling the current atmosphere of the East Continent.
"Senior Hong, shall we head to our lodging now?"
Seeing that it was almost time, a foundation establishment female cultivator assigned by the Purple Scarf Army suddenly spoke up.
This woman had soft features and a tall figure, with healthy wheat-colored skin, a slender waist that could barely be grasped, and light green eyes full of exotic charm.
She wore a headscarf and dressed lightly, with a considerable portion of her figure subtly revealing, in line with the local female cultivator's style. Her accent was also very close to that of the local cultivators.
Her name was Tian Xiaoyu, and she was at the late stage of foundation establishment, the highest in cultivation level among the five foundation establishment subordinates.
She had come to the East Wasteland while still at the qi refinement stage and had quickly become one of the important figures in the East Continent branch.
This time, she had received orders to specifically welcome Liu Yu and his group.
Due to the focus of the Purple Scarf Army's development primarily on the southern and western parts of the Central Domain, there were hardly any golden core cultivators in the entire East, let alone in the East Continent branch.
Thus, Tian Xiaoyu stood out with her late-stage foundation establishment cultivation and exceptional abilities, becoming an important manager in the branch.
