C116 (1/2)

After more than ten days of travelling, Chu Ling and his group finally arrived outside of Xiang Huai City.

Chu Ling looked at the number one city in the entire Hundred Sects Alliance in front of him and couldn't help but feel somewhat shocked in his heart. After all, a house that stretched for thousands of kilometers without an end in sight, was not something that a place like Zhao Kingdom could compare to.

Someone had already said before that there were already over a million cultivators in Xiang Huai City. Chu Ling reckoned that even if the entire Zhao Kingdom was added together, there were probably not even a hundred thousand cultivators.

Chu Ling and the rest did not have the intention to stop and watch. After putting Feng Xing Zhou away, they directly walked toward the city.

The noise within the city was different from what Chu Ling had imagined. Even though it could be considered lively, it was definitely not noisy.

Perhaps it was because everyone was too curious about the city, after staying at an inn called the Immortal Palace, other than Song Zhiming who had become gloomy after entering the Xiang Huai City, almost everyone else scattered and strolled around.

The Great Crow claimed that it was afraid that Chu Ling would owe its Spiritual Stone, so it secretly escaped, but in reality, this fellow was clearly trying to make Chu Ling follow behind it to pay for it.

Therefore, every time he passed a small stall, he would grab onto something and run, causing Chu Ling to have no choice but to help him pay the Spiritual Stone with a bitter smile.

As for Li Yanrong, Chu Ling did not know why, but from his point of view, he was most likely just like her, and could not even find her anywhere.

However, Chu Ling did not stroll around, he was concerned about the Nine Immortal Dragon Helianthus the entire time. That was the reason why after he asked around, he found out that there was a small-scale exchange meeting in Xiang Huai City today.

However, although this exchange meeting was not very big, it was organized by one of the three sects, two halls and five clans with the strongest strength within the Hundred Sects Alliance. Almost every time, a large amount of treasures would appear at this exchange meeting.

Not long ago, during an exchange, Chu Ling had heard of the Nine Immortal Dragon Helianthus and decided to go over to take a look.

After some more investigation, Chu Ling finally brought Li Yanrong and the Great Crow to the city and after making who knows how many turns and turns, they finally arrived before a Fragrant Huai river that permeated the entire city.

But just at that time, he who was originally standing below the cruise liner smiled and nodded towards the people who passed by. With a look, he saw the Song Family servant who was in charge of receiving the guests, and after seeing Chu Ling, he directly extended his hand out to stop Chu Ling.

After that, Chu Ling did not know if the other party did it on purpose or not, but he actually released a strand of cultivation aura, revealing his Heaven Understanding Stage.

Chu Ling was surprised for a bit, and started to value the exchange more and more. After all, the person who came to watch the exchange had trained in Heaven Understanding Stage, so the strength of this Song Family could be considered as showing off.

”My apologies, fellow cultivator. This place is an exchange meeting held by my Song Family, you cannot enter.”

The grey robed elder spoke straightforwardly, completely taking Chu Ling's words into consideration.

After all, in the past few years, he had already seen many people who wanted to quietly sneak into the pleasure boat like Chu Ling, despite only seeing the grey-robed old man.

Upon hearing that, Chu Ling was not angry, he merely pointed to the people coming and going, and said: ”They can enter, but why can't I?”

When the gray-clothed old man heard this, he glanced at Chu Ling. He, who had originally looked down on Chu Ling, immediately linked him with that country bumpkin who did not know much about the great world, and was even more unwilling to pay any attention to him.

However, even though the grey robed elder was exceptionally disdained towards Chu Ling, those who were sent here, who had the ability to recuperate, were not bad. Therefore, he pointed to a jade pendant hanging on his waist that had the word ”Song” written on it, and said: ”Only those who bring this jade can enter.”

After the elderly man in gray finished speaking, he originally thought that Chu Ling would tactfully leave, but he did not expect that Chu Ling would actually speak of it again at that time.

”Since that's the case, why don't you give me one and let me in?”

After Chu Ling finished speaking, the old man's face clearly twitched, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at Chu Ling. Just as he was about to wave his hand and berate Chu Ling, the bumpkin who had come to cause trouble, a voice of ridicule sounded out first.
