Chapter 1651 Entering the Giant City

d her wrist and said, "That elixir smelled so good, I couldn't help myself and ate it all. However, it seems like nothing happened to me!"The woman glared at him fiercely and said, "This time, you're...Before the tightly shut city gates of Jùchéng, a figure stood with their back to Yan Shao and Shū Kuáng, silently gazing at the imposing and majestic city wall before them.

Looking at this back and hearing the sound ringing in their ears, Yan Shao and Shu Kuang naturally knew that the other party was Jiang Yun!

For Jiang Yun to have returned to the Fifth Town Realm before the two of them, they didn't find it surprising at all.

After all, it has been six days since Jiang Yun went after the demon beast Taiyang.

And at Ginger Cloud's speed, returning here within six days is completely normal.

Especially Yan Zhao, at this time turned his head and winked at the book frantically, his face filled with excitement.

Although he didn't speak, the bookworm could certainly understand his meaning. He was simply reminding himself that his bet had been lost!

Jiang Yun must have ultimately lost track of the demon beast Taiyang, so he returned to the Fifth Town Realm ahead of schedule.

Even Shúkuáng ignored Yànzhāo, and instead said aloud, “Your speed is astonishing, the two of us are likely miles behind.”

"Hmph!" Yan Zhao suddenly snorted. "It's all because of you! After luring those monsters here, you didn't go deal with them yourself but instead ran off to chase Taiyang!"

"If it weren't for killing those two hundred-plus monsters, we would have been back ages ago!"

As soon as he thought of this, Yan Zhao felt a surge of anger in his heart. They had wanted to see Jiang Yun's strength and performance, but instead, they ended up having to deal with those monsters themselves.

Jiang Yun finally turned around, looking at the bookworm with a blank expression. "This fellow Daoist only asked me to kill the monster Taiyang earlier to prove his identity, but he didn't say anything about having to kill other monsters!"

Yan Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "What about Taicang Have you killed him"

"No!" Jiang Yun shook her head.

Jiang Yun's answer caused another glimmer of joy to flash across Yan Zhao's face, and he also glanced at the Bookworm.

But the Bookworm was too preoccupied to pay him any mind. He bowed towards Jiang Yun and said, "Even though you failed to kill Taiyang, your performance against the demon beasts earlier has been witnessed by all of us. It proves that you are not a soul-stealing monster."

"Now, if you don't mind, please come into the city with us!"

As he spoke, the Bookworm formed several hand seals with both hands and struck them against the tightly shut city gates of the giant city with a thunderous boom.

"Hum!"

This ever-closed city gate, under these relentless batterings, finally roared open to both sides.

But, after only opening a crack, it stopped.

"Please go ahead, friend," Shuming said again.

Gingercloud said nothing, turned directly around, and strode into the city gate.

Although the city gate was only a crack open, it was also hundreds of feet thick, so it was like a deep alley. Jiang Yun walked dozens of steps before passing through the gate.

Ginger Cloud didn't use his cultivation because when he passed through the city gate, he saw countless runes carved on the inner wall of the gate.

These runes emanate subtle fluctuations, enveloping the body. It feels like a multitude of eyes are sizing you up from head to toe.

Of course, this is also a measure specially set up by the city's cultivators to prevent monsters from impersonating humans and entering.

And to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Yun also allowed these runes to examine himself.

As Jiang Yun finally walked into the city, Shū Kuáng and Yàn Zhāo entered together, and the city gate closed once more.

Jiang Yun raised his head and began to examine the enormous city before him.

From the outside, this city only gives off a sense of grandeur, but being here right now, Jiang Yun felt a chilling sensation.

Because this is more like a fortress than a city!

In the city, there were no normal buildings found in any other city, such as taverns, shops, etc.

Here, there are only towers upon towers of buildings, densely packed, seeming endless.

Looking out, you can't see the end at all; there are at least tens of thousands.

These buildings vary in size, some reaching a thousand zhang high while others are only a hundred zhang tall. Their widths also differ greatly, ranging from thirty to fifty zhang.

Though walls blocked their sight, Jiang Yun knew that there was a cultivator stationed within every building.

And upon every building, too, were countless intricate runes spread across their surfaces.

Some formed battle formations, some arranged restrictions, and even Jiang Yun recognized among them simple monster-sealing talismans like the Monster-Sealing Talisman and the Refining Monster Talisman.

Between these runes, there are streaks of light, circulating endlessly, emitting a faint, intangible pressure.

In short, each building here is a powerful weapon of attack.

And thanks to Jiang Yun's mastery of array formations, he could tell that all these buildings were clearly part of a chain-linked grand formation.

Line after line, formation within formations!

Once all formations are activated, the power unleashed would be unimaginable, even to someone like Jiang Yun. It would be utterly devastating!

The voice of the bookworm rang out in Jiang Yun's ear again: "Daoist friend, you also saw it, didn't you This city can't be entered by just anyone because it's to prevent these arrangements within the city from being known to demon beasts."

Ginger Cloud understood and nodded.

If the monsters were to launch a large-scale attack, then relying on this giant city and the buildings within it, at least the cultivators would have the power to resist.

"I know there must be some questions in your heart, so please come with us!"

After Shǔ Kuáng's words fell, he led Yàn Zhāo and himself to the front. Jiāng Yún followed behind the two of them, passing through these buildings all the way until they arrived before the tallest building, where they stopped.

The cultivators guarding the Fifth Town boundary live in these buildings when they are not monitoring the dimensional rift.

While explaining to Jiangyun, Shu Kuang once again formed several hand seals and struck them against the wall of the building before them.

After a series of flashes, the walls parted automatically to either side, revealing an opening.

Looking through the opening, you could see a winding staircase spiraling upwards.

The bookworm extended a finger toward the opening and said, "Friend, please come in!"

Ginger strode without hesitation back into the room, climbing the stairs directly to the top and entering a room.

Although you can't see inside from the outside of the building, once you are in this room, all the walls around you are transparent, and you can clearly see what is happening outside.

Here, at the highest point in the city, you can see the entire metropolis, and even the Fifth Town district, spread out before you.

Jiang Yun merely glanced around before retracting his gaze.

Then Yan Shao and Shu Kuang entered. Shu Kuang laughed and said, "The conditions here are simple, and there's nothing to entertain our friends with, so we can only sit on the floor."

Once the three of them were seated, Jiang Yun calmly looked at the two and said, “There's no need for pleasantries. You both should already know who I am and my background. Now, could you please explain to me why you want me to kill Taichang”

As for Ginger Cloud's attitude, Yan Zhao clearly had a bit of disdain. He still wore a grim expression and coldly said, "Boy, we only know that your name is Ginger Cloud and that you are a demon cultivator. We don't know anything else."

"For you to go and kill Taiyang, I know you definitely can't. It's just to see if you dare to attack the demon beast, thereby judging whether you have been possessed by the demon beast or if you are a phantom of the Void Valley!"

"Phantom Abyss" Jiang Yun frowned slightly and said, "What is Phantom Abyss"

Yan Zhao didn't answer Jiang Yun at all, and continued speaking, "Don't worry about asking questions first. You haven't killed Taiyang yet, so your identity is still questionable."

Jiang Yun gave Yan Zhao a cold look and said, "Although I indeed couldn't kill Taiyang, I don't know if this can prove Jiang's identity!"

As soon as the words left her lips, Jiang Yun suddenly raised her sleeves towards Yan Zhao!
