Two days later, as the Spirit Beast let out a high-pitched cry, everyone awoke from their Cultivation and emerged from their rooms.
"Alright, everyone, the Azure Green Sect has arrived."
A few bolder individuals cautiously approached the Spirit Beast, peering down.
They were still thousands of feet above the ground.
But even so, from this vantage point, a massive city, like a giant Dragon, could be seen sprawled across the land.
A colossal city visible from thousands of miles away.
Qin Xuan couldn't help but inwardly praise it; this city was truly enormous.
Putting everything else aside, the sheer scale of this city was a thousand times that of Fire Wind City.
The size of Fire Wind City was already not considered small.
But compared to this city, it was too small.
"Everyone, this is Xuanlong City, the capital of the entire Profound Dragon Dao. Xuanlong City is quite large; it's one of the top ten largest cities in the entire Great Gan!"
Only top ten?
Qin Xuan grew even more surprised.
This city stretched for hundreds of miles, yet even so, it could only rank in the top ten. How massive must the capital of Great Gan be?
"Is our Azure Green Sect in this city?"
The Sima Family Disciple hurriedly asked.
"No, our Azure Green Sect has thousands of Inner Sect Disciples, tens of thousands of outer Disciples, plus a large number of miscellaneous workers. So many people wouldn't stay in Xuanlong City."
Just then, Qian Feng, with a gloomy expression, walked out of his room.
At this moment, Qian Feng's face was still swollen and red.
Although he had consumed many Medicinal Pills, his Foundation and Cultivation hadn't been affected.
However, the swelling on his face couldn't be reduced by Medicinal Pills.
At this moment, he glared venomously at Qin Xuan and Lu Peng, wishing he could kick them off the back of the Spirit Beast.
But when Qin Xuan looked over, he was so scared that he quickly turned his head away, not daring to meet Qin Xuan's gaze.
He knew Qin Xuan's combat strength all too well; he was simply no match.
Now, if he were to challenge Qin Xuan, wouldn't that be inviting humiliation?
"Then why are we landing here?"
Liu Yiyi asked curiously.
Throughout the journey, she hadn't Cultivated, constantly pondering how to prepare for the upcoming assessment.
"Young Miss Liu Yiyi, you don't know, but the first stage of the assessment is set in Xuanlong City. Only those who pass the first stage can proceed to the Azure Green Sect and undergo the subsequent stages of the assessment."
"If one can't even pass the first stage, they can take a Cloud Boat or Spirit Beast back from Xuanlong City."
Seeing Liu Yiyi appear, Qian Feng hurriedly walked to her side and explained.
Liu Yiyi subtly took a step back, clearly not wanting to be too intimate with Qian Feng.
"Alright, everyone, get ready; we're about to land!"
The old man extended his hand, pressing it onto the Spirit Beast's back, his eyes tightly closed.
"This is the Spirit Communication Art. With this art, you can communicate with Spirit Beasts and make them act according to your will. Liu Yiyi, once you become a formal Disciple of the Sect, you can go to the Beast Taming section and choose a Spirit Beast you like."
Qian Feng spoke enthusiastically, and upon hearing this, another old man smiled slightly.
"Next is the official selection of the Sect, Qian Feng, how do you plan to have Young Miss Liu Yiyi pass the assessment? I'm quite curious."
The old man's words were blunt, clearly questioning Liu Yiyi's strength.
Liu Yiyi's face turned grim, but she dared not show any reaction.
At present, she couldn't even interact with other Disciples of the Azure Green Sect. At a time like this, she could be abandoned at any moment.
She could only swallow her anger.
However, at this moment, Qian Feng's expression became very unpleasant.
The old man's words clearly questioned whether he was using means to favor Liu Yiyi.
"Hmph, Elder, you don't need to worry about this. I will naturally take responsibility..."
No sooner had Qian Feng's words fallen than the Spirit Beast suddenly began to descend rapidly.
Everyone gazed intently at Xuanlong City below.
As the flying Spirit Beast continued to descend, the surrounding Spirit Beasts and various Cloud Boats became increasingly dense.
"Xuanlong City is the capital of the entire Profound Dragon Dao, so trade from several nearby Dao's flows through Xuanlong City. These Cloud Boats come from countless nearby cities."
"If so many Spirit Beasts and Cloud Boats were to enter Xuanlong City, even if Xuanlong City were larger, it wouldn't be able to accommodate them. Therefore, our flying Spirit Beast will land outside Xuanlong City, in a specially designated area."
"That area happens to be our Azure Green Sect's territory."
An Elder explained, and soon the flying Spirit Beast landed.
A moment later, the flying Spirit Beast landed in an open space outside the city.
At this time, dozens of flying Spirit Beasts were already parked on the open ground.
"Greetings, Elder. I'll take care of the flying Spirit Beast."
Just then, a miscellaneous worker ran over and bowed to the Elder.
"Have the others arrived?"
The Elder frowned and asked.
The miscellaneous worker quickly shook his head.
"No, a few Elders from other cities are still missing, but judging by the time, they should be here soon. Elder, you should quickly take the people to the examination hall, or it will be too late."
Hearing this, the two Elders nodded, then motioned for the others to follow.
"Let's go, follow me."
The group hurriedly followed behind the Elders, rushing towards the gates of Xuanlong City.
At this moment, the gates of Xuanlong City were crowded with people.
Everyone was queuing, waiting to enter the city.
"Xuanlong City is truly massive, and there are so many people here!"
For several people, this was their first time in Xuanlong City, and they were naturally extremely surprised.
Looking up from the base of the city wall, the entire wall soared into the clouds, hundreds of feet high.
And at the very top of the city wall, Cultivators could vaguely be seen patrolling.
In addition to these Cultivators, extremely large Cloud Boats flew over the city wall.
"Cloud Boats are different from Spirit Beasts and flying boats; only powerful forces can own them, so they don't have to stop outside the city and enter on foot like us."
"Our Sect also has a few Cloud Boats, but they are only used when entertaining distinguished guests; under normal circumstances, they are never used."
The Elder beside them explained.
"Thud!"
Just then, a loud thudding sound came from behind, and everyone quickly turned to look.
They saw a giant elephant walking from the entrance, with a golden sedan chair on its back.
Jade wind chimes hung around the sedan chair, and crisp chimes continuously rang out.
Through the light gauze around the sedan chair, a young man could vaguely be seen sitting inside.
Near the elephant, guards in brocade robes and Sable fur followed, looking incredibly arrogant.
Who could command such a grand procession!
Qin Xuan and the others looked over in astonishment.
All of them had walked into the city, yet this young man on the elephant's back intended to ride the elephant directly inside.
Was he not afraid of being driven out?
The Xuanlong City Guard team, responsible for guarding the city gates, immediately moved to intercept the elephant upon seeing it.
"Xuanlong City truly doesn't understand rules. How dare you block my Young Lord's mount?"
The guards accompanying the elephant immediately stepped forward arrogantly, coldly rebuking them.
Hearing this, the captain of the guard team stepped forward.
"By order of the City Lord, all personnel entering the city must enter on foot; no mounts are permitted!"
With that, the captain of the guard team drew his saber, ready to act.
Tianxuan Realm!
Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows; a mere captain of the guard team, responsible for guarding the city gates, possessed Tianxuan Realm combat strength!
"It seems that with this captain's intervention, this young man is going to suffer a setback!"
Qian Feng said, clearly thinking that the young man would suffer a great loss.
"Perhaps not!"
Just then, the Elder beside them shook his head.
"How is this possible? This young man only has a Profound Earth Realm Cultivation, isn't it as easy as turning over one's hand for a Tianxuan Realm to suppress a Profound Earth Realm?"
The others spoke one after another, clearly believing that the young man would definitely be severely punished.
"You're thinking too simply. In this world, stronger doesn't always mean better. Jianghu isn't just about fighting and killing; it's also about human relationships and social etiquette!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this young man should be a distant Disciple of some ancient family. This small guard captain probably can't afford to offend an ancient family!"
Indeed, no sooner had the Elder's words fallen than the young man on the elephant's back snorted coldly. He raised both hands, and a green bell appeared in his grasp, followed by a ringing sound.
"Oh no, it's a Spiritual Artifact!"
The Elder's expression changed, and he quickly shielded Qin Xuan and the others behind him, then used Spiritual Qi to erect a defensive shield.
"Clang!"
As the bell rang, the guard captain standing in front immediately changed his expression, falling into a trance!
What was this thing that could interfere with his consciousness!
At the same time, the guard accompanying the young man moved instantly. He swiftly drew his saber, rushing like lightning to the guard captain's side, and with a raised hand, slit the guard captain's throat!
He actually killed someone in broad daylight!
