Chapter 221 Ancient Longyang City

After crossing the White mist river, it was the vast and wide Cloud province. Lu Tai Cang described the general situation of the cloud province and all the girls kept their ears open to listen him.

"The cloud province is the biggest province of the central land. Infact, it occupied the largest area in the Northern desert continent.

Due to its vastness, no single force can control it alone. This is why there are so many forces and so much Chaos inside the cloud province", Lu Tai Cang described.

"Then why the Grand sect competition is being held in the cloud province? They could have arrange it it in the dragon province where the security is the tightest", Zhan Chen looked towards Lu Tai Cang with curiousity in his eyes.

"Well, Longyang city is not far from here. You will get your answer after we reach our destination", Lu Tai Cang replied.

Zhan Chen felt curious about the Longyang city after hearing the words of Lu Tai Cang. He waited patiently as the flying trasure kept flying towards their destination.

It was already night when Lu Tai Cang stopped the flying treasure midway. "We are at the outskirt of the Longyang city", he spoke to everyone present.

But this time his words didn't get any attention from the girls as everyone was busy with admiring the wonderful sight of the Longyang city. Zhan Chen had long ago noticed the uniqueness of the Longyang city but he had to withdraw his soul consciousness because of the presence of some mighty experts.

"Young master, look at those birds. They are really pretty", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen with excitement in her eyes.

Zhan Chen was also looking at the marvel of Longyang city like other girls. There were four towering staturs in the four direction of cities. They were built at the extreme end of the city. So, their feature remain unclear to the girls present. Even, Lin Xintong was not an exception although she had the cultivation of mid Martial ascension realm.

"Such pretty birds", Kai Min muttered after few moments. She was also enthralled by the same birds who enchanted Li Shu.

Some birds could be seen flying all around the statues. Their bodies were colourful and they were lighting up the big statues with the light coming from their bodies.

"They are not birds. They are luminiscent spirits who got attracted by the purest energy coming out from these statues", Zhan Chen explained.

"Young master, can we get one?", Li Shu looked towards Zhan Chen with an expectant gaze.

"Ofcourse, we can but for that we need some rare ingredients", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Ohh, then I don't need it", Li Shu spoke but her eyes said otherwise. A smile appeared on Zhan Chen's face after he saw what Li Shu was doing.

"Silly girl, if you want it then i will give it to you. Ingredients are no big deal", Zhan Chen spoke as he pinched the cheek of Li Shu.

'Visit (No ve (l)B i n) to read, pls!',

"Thank you, young master", a smile bloomed on Li Shu's face after she heard the words of Zhan Chen. Her heart was filled with sweetness after she heard the caring words of Zhan Chen.

"Zhan Chen, where are you planning to stay?", Lu Tai Cang asked.

"Senior, do you have a place in mind?", Zhan Chen asked in return.

"Yes", Lu Tai Cang replied. He spoke Zhan Chen to follow him and strode towards the city gate of Longyang city.

The city gate became much clearer as Zhan Chen's group walked towards it. An awestruck look appeared on the faces of Li Shu, Li Yan, Kai Min and Lin Xintong after they observed the grandeur of the Longyang city.

The city walls were massive and they were at least seven times taller than an average human's height. A miniscue feeling appeared in the hearts of the girls after they saw the massive walls and the huge city gate at the middle of it.

There were city guards standing at the city gate but they didn't bother any cultivator who were entering the city. Unlike other cities, the Longyang city didn't demand any entry fee from the visiting cultivators.

Zhan Chen followed behind Lu Tai Cang and entered inside the Longyang city. The girls looked here and there curiously after entering inside the Longyang city.

,m A curious look appeared in Zhan Chen's eyes after he saw the cultivators around him. There was a huge influx of cultivators for the Grand sect competition but none of them were causing any ruckus after entering inside.

Generally, a place became boisterous when a huge amount of cultivators from different powers gathered but there was no such situation inside the Longyang city. Every cultivator was behaving orderly and there was calm everywhere.

Such an anomaly piqued Zhan Chen's interest and he looked around to find out the reason behind it. He soon found out a group of cultivators who were watching the crowd calmly.

They didn't look imposing but everyone from the crowd had a respectful look when they passed by them. "Senior, who are they?", Zhan Chen asked Lu Tai Cang.

"Oh, you already noticed them!", a smile appeared on Lu Tai Cang 's face.

"Have you ever heard about the Spirit palace?", Lu Tai Cang asked Zhan Chen.

"No, never heard about it", Zhan Chen shook his head.

"Spirit palace is the controller of this city. They are a mysterious power who never involve themselves in the affairs of the central land", Lu Tai Cang spoke.

"How intriguing!", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and followed behind Lu Tai Cang.

------------

There was a palce at the center of the Longyang city. The palace had a solemn air about it. There were only few guards but their auras kept cultivators away from approaching the palace.

'',

A wooden plank was raised at the entrance of the palace. 'Spirit palace' was written graciously in the middle of the plank.

Currently, there was a middle aged cultivator kneeling infront of a man. The man seemed ordinary but there was a deep and profound look in his eyes.

"Elder Shang, are you sure? The scion of Zhan clan has entered our city?", the man asked the kneeling cultivator.

"Yes, palace master, I can't be mistaken. Moreover, he is being acoompained by Lu Tai Cang of the Lu clan", the kneeling cultivator replied.

"Keep an eye on him. Don't use force even if he do anything in the city. Instead of doing anything to him, we can ask concession from his clan", the man spoke.

"Palace master is wise. I will inform others about your order", the kneeling cultivator spoke.

"You may leave now", the man spoke and the kneeling cultivator execused himself.

"Father, why do you give such an order to third elder?", a pleasant voice came out from the distant corner of the hall.

"Zhiqing, have you finished your sword practice?", the man turned to look towards the voice.

"Yes father", an enchanting figure appeared in his sight and replied to him.

"What about you little sister?", the man with profound eyes asked.

"She is playing in the herb mountain", the female in armour replied.

"Now tell me, why are you making an exception for a brat?", the girl in armour asked to her father.

"Zhiqing, you have never dealt with the madmen from Zhan clan. Their power is reduced but still, they are a very dangerous force to fight with", the wise looking man replied.

"Father, are you joking? Do we really need to care about the Zhan clan even with power of our spirit palace?", the girl in armour asked.

"It is always good if you don't have to fight. Stop picking fight everywhere you go. Otherwise, it will be really hard for me to find a good boy for you", the wise looking man said to his daughter.

"Stop dreaming. I don't need to marry", the armoured girl stared defiantly towards his father. The wise looking man admitted his defeat infront of his daughter. A helpless smile appeared on his face after he saw her walking out of the hall.

"This girl is completely like her mother. Both of them are fierce and loves fighting than anything in this world. It will be really troublesome if she go and pick a fight with that brat from the Zhan clan ", the man murmured to himself.
