A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 594: Chapter 478: Nocturnal City in Chaos (Part 2)

What made him feel uncomfortable was the area itself.

Mud Alley. It reminded him of the Plum Blossom Marketplace, where beneath the bustling surface lay a web-like expanse of low shanties, home to mortals living off cultivators, a place where people of all kinds gather, and also where he was born.

But Mud Alley was several times more vile than the shantytowns!

The fallen cultivators, after Nocturnal City swallowed their last Spirit Stone, would be provided with food, lodging, and even tokens for entertainment centers so they might have a chance to return.

This is not kindness; it is the final knife to carve away the last thread of vitality, to cut off the last trace of spirit, to obliterate the last shred of hope.

These people, like walking corpses, have their final destination here, in Mud Alley.

In the end, these unstable elements, these potential threats to Nocturnal City, these instigators of tainted reputations, all would perish quietly in Mud Alley.

Nocturnal City is a revelry in oblivion, but beneath it, there are bones and corpses everywhere.

Nocturnal City is a den of demons.

In a daze, he seemed to dart back to more than twenty years ago, when he roamed Plum Blossom Marketplace with Lu Qian, collecting a wealth of business material for him.

In the Comprehensive District, facing Lu Qian who was researching casinos, the younger version of himself struggled to admonish.

”Immortal Master, please prioritize cultivation and never return to this place.”

Yet more than twenty years later, Lu Qian became one of the founders of Nocturnal City, while he remained as Lu Qian’s right-hand man, offering strategies for the city’s operations and refining the game rules.

Reflecting on how he had created this den of demons, destroying countless cultivators’ paths, Lin Le felt deeply conflicted.

But he could only act according to his position, prioritizing the Yunshan Sect’s interests without altering anything based on personal likes and dislikes. Perhaps Lin Le from twenty years ago would despise his current self.

Lost in thought, suddenly a loud noise echoed overhead!

Underneath the nearly full moon almost touching the sky, frost thickly formed upon Nocturnal City’s Protective Grand Array, then exploded in a thunderous crack in an instant!

To build Nocturnal City, the already not-so-wealthy Huanggen Sect gritted their teeth and provided a second-level Spirit Vein, but no matter its grade, it was still too low to establish a Golden Core Grand Array.

Thus, the Protective Array here was only Foundation Establishment Level, yet it was managed collectively by three sects, with half the shares given to Primordial Spirit Sect Xuanwei Sect and Nascent Soul Sect Spirit Beast Sect. Who would dare stir trouble?

But today, someone did!

Only a Golden Core Master could break through a Protective Array like tearing apart withered trees.

Hai Shuangyao sensed something amiss, swiftly raised her head with a face full of shock and anger.

”That damn woman has come!”

In the sky stood a golden core female cultivator, her clothes fluttering, and her figure fiery and statuesque. Her Divine Sense roamed wantonly throughout the city.

”Shuangyao, why did you come here without informing me so I could find you properly?”

”Come out, let me cherish you a bit!”

Hai Shuangyao glared at the figure in the sky, immediately wanting to reveal herself but forcefully suppressed the impulse.

”No, no, there’s still an incense’s time left until midnight; after midnight is a new day. I’m still a mortal today, can’t act, can’t act...”

Jiang Baitao rushed to ask, ”Who is this Golden Core?”

Hai Shuangyao jumped up, puffed her cheeks and shouted loudly: ”She is the most wicked, wicked, wicked woman in this world! Mi Mengyin!”

There are thousands of cultivators in Nocturnal City, even a Golden Core Master could not immediately locate Hai Shuangyao.

Mi Mengyin chuckled: ”Still won’t come out? You, the world’s most foolish, foolish, foolish girl, want to play hide and seek with me still?”

Hai Shuangyao was furious, shouted with claws and fangs: ”In an incense’s time, watch how I tear her mouth apart!”

At this point, another escape light arose from within the city, it was Ye Xiao who had come here to oversee.

Ye Xiao felt shock and anger inside, but kept a very courteous exterior, especially after sensing Mi Mengyin’s late-stage Golden Core cultivation, she lightly tossed her curly hair, revealing a slight smile.

”Fellow Daoist, you’re unfamiliar to me, are you here in Nocturnal City for entertainment? I shall do my utmost to host you grandly, so you may enjoy and depart happily.”

Mi Mengyin sneered: ”This barren place, what is there to play? I came to fight Hai Shuangyao, spare me from idle people running around.”

Ye Xiao’s face immediately darkened, never before had anyone been so presumptuous to her.

”Fellow Daoist, regardless of whom you want to fight, out of Nocturnal City you may fight to your heart’s content. But within Nocturnal City, you must abide by the rules, no one can harm my guests!”

Mi Mengyin utterly disregarded her, shouting into Nocturnal City: ”Hai Shuangyao, you truly wish to play hide and seek? Fine, I will overturn this city and find you to spank you!”

Saying this, her figure moved, intending to dive downwards.

”How dare you!” Ye Xiao finally could not bear it, originally an Iron Origin cultivator with a fierce disposition, also a dominator of one region; she had never suffered such humiliation.

Spiritual Power gushed forth, Spiritual Pressure soared, her figure flashed, and her perfectly curved long leg swung from above, like a giant axe, chopping down toward Mi Mengyin!

Rumbling Earth Spirit Essence Qi gathered mid-air, erupting mightily with her kick.

Over a hundred dark Ice Mirrors instantly formed, Mi Mengyin’s figure flickered through one: ”No manners at all, then I’ll feast on you first as an appetizer.”
