Chapter 85:
The vast lands were boundless.
The geography of the vast lands can be divided into the northern, the southern, the western, the eastern, and the middle territory.
The middle territory was the main gathering place in the mortal world, and it was also the area ruled by the Sheng Clan Imperial Court.
Wuyang Capital was located in the middle zone of the middle territory.
On the other hand, the other regions were in a bad state, such as the Grand Myriad Mountain Range in the southern territory and the eternal deep sea in the far east… It was very difficult for mortals to survive here.
However, the more sparsely populated a place was, the richer the spirit energy would be, and that would be where the sects were located.
The location of the Youlou Temple, Mount Xuan Ling, was located in the northern territory of the vast lands. The climate was cold and it was covered with snow all year round.
Li Ran left Wuyang City by flight.
Although the Heaven Seizing Technique was constantly circulating and replenishing his qi, it was unavoidable that he would feel tired after flying for a long ti.
He happened to pass by a small city.
Li Ran rubbed his head and prepared to go over to eat and rest.

Qingzhou City…
Unlike the prosperous and magnificent imperial capital, this small city wasn't large, and it was mottled with bricks that revealed its long history.
At this mont, the city gate was wide open, and the flow of people was like a shuttle. Not even a single officer was present.
"All right, it looks like it's still a three-way street." Li Ran slowly walked into the city with his hands behind his back.
Stepping on the ravines of the bluestone road, there were white walls and black tiles all around.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians’ activity.
So were carrying longswords and sabers, so were wearing monk robes, and there were black figures treading over the roof from ti to ti.
A muscular man with a bamboo hat on his head and a big knife on his back was bargaining with a cake vendor on the side of the street. He was excited as he spat.
The scene of the market was overwhelming.
"There are actually so many cultivators in this small city?" Li Ran looked surprised.
Just then, he saw no less than five Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
Qi Refinent Stage was even more outrageous.
“Could it be that another treasure has appeared? Or has a secret realm opened?" Li Ran was a little curious.
At this mont, a man descended from the sky, launching almost on the pedestrian's scalp, followed by the wind that brought a large amount of dust.
The cake that the strong man had just bought was instantly covered in dust.
"F*ck your mother!" He angrily pointed at the man and cursed.
The man turned around and smiled disdainfully, "A brainless thing…"
Before he could finish his sentence, a huge palm suddenly appeared in the air. With a "bang", it smashed the man down like a fly.
The man vomited blood, his tendons were broken, and his entire body was embedded in the brick.
"Do you think I'm farting after saying that you’re not allowed to fly in the city?" An angry voice rang out from the void.
"I really don't know…" The man's face was filled with fear as he shivered.
The muscular man walked over with a sinister smile. He pulled him out of the brick and dragged his legs out of the city.
The blood mark dragged on the ground.
The surrounding people's expressions were indifferent as if they were accustod to this scene.
Li Ran was speechless. "……"
"No wonder there are no guards at the gate. So an expert is overseeing the city!"
Power was the order.
To cultivators, no matter how many soldiers there were, there was no deterrence. They were far less useful than an expert.
At this mont, he heard the whispers of others.
"Xiang Cheng is really ruthless!"
"If you aren't ruthless, how can you suppress these sect disciples?"
"Xiang Cheng studies in the Dao of Traversing. This is his temperant!"
"It's a pity that he has a neutral position and won't participate in the Demon Slaying Conference. Otherwise, our Righteous Path will have another hand!"
"What a pity!"
"Demon Slaying Conference?" Li Ran raised his eyebrows and understood.
No wonder these cultivators were gathered here. So they were all here for a gathering!
"Interesting. I would like to see what kind of devil these people want to kill.” he smiled.
Li Ran casually bought a mask at the roadside stall, then followed behind a few cultivators.

In Yue Xuan, the largest restaurant in Azure Province City.
At this mont, the door was crowded with people.
The people who ca were all dressed in luxurious clothes and ard with swords. They were all practitioners.
There was a special receptionist at the door, and every guests’ na would be shouted out.
"Misty Cloud Sect's Fairy Lin, Lin Qianyi, has arrived!"
The white-robed lady walked into the restaurant with a graceful smile on her face.
Fellow Daoists who were familiar with her ca over to greet her, and those who weren't familiar nodded in greeting.
"The Young Lord of Qilin Mountain Villa, Young Hero Luo Yong has arrived!"
"A direct disciple of the Haotian Sect…"
Everyone who entered smiled and cupped their hands in greeting.
It was clearly a gathering of friends who were trying to get to know each other.
"Myriad Sword Pavilion, Inner Sect Eldest Brother, Chen Zhutian has arrived!"
The restaurant suddenly quieted down, and all eyes were fixed on the door…….
One of the top sects, Myriad Sword Pavillion!
"I apologize to everyone for coming late." Chen Zhutian held his longsword in his hand, his eyes shining brightly as he strode through the door.
"Senior Brother Chen!"
"Senior Brother Chen is here!"
Everyone surrounded him and gave him a warm greeting.
Chen Zhutian responded with a smile. His manner was graceful, and he did not treat anyone coldly. He could be considered a socialite.
"Senior Brother Chen, please take a seat."
Everyone brought him to the center seat.
The receptionist stared blankly at a man wearing a pig's head mask.
This mask… he didn't look like soone who was serious!
"May I ask for your distinguished self your sect and na?"
Li Ran thought about it for a mont and ca up to the receptionist, whispering sothing.
After hearing this, the receptionist scratched his head. "Is such a sect on the Righteous path? Why hadn't this little one heard of it before? And for your distinguished na…"
"You haven't heard of it! What? You dare to look down on my sect?"
"This little one did not dare, this little one had no intentions." The receptionist hurriedly waved his hand.
He was only a mortal. No matter which sect it was, he was not soone he could afford to offend.
Moreover, although this person was wearing a pig's head mask, his figure was tall and handso. He seed to have so background.
Li Ran snorted, "Then why don't you let in?"
"All right."
The gatekeeper pondered for a mont and shouted loudly.
"The Chief Grand Disciple of the Hard Bang Gang, Ji Er Bang Ying, has arrived!"
The restaurant fell silent again.
Everyone looked at the door curiously. This was the first ti they had heard of such a strange sect.
Li Ran, wearing a pig's head mask, walked in proudly and cupped his hands.
"Eat and drink well, gentlen."
What a bizarre disguise!
However, they didn't take it to heart.
There were many cultivators who wore strange clothes. It was normal for them to wear masks.
Perhaps there was a wound on his face?
Chen Zhutian said curiously, "This is the first ti I've heard of this Hard Country Gang. I wonder what kind of sect it is?"
"And for this brother’s na, why does it sound pretty vulgar…”
