“Wow, you’ve got quite the big talk.”
David raised an eyebrow and said jokingly, “Luoyun City is a public city, not your Canglan Sect’s private residence. Why are others not allowed to discuss news from the void?”
“court death!”
The Canglan Sect cultivator, too lazy to waste words, thrust out a palm, the boundless azure spiritual light transforming into a giant hand that struck directly at David. In his eyes, David’s aura was ordinary, and a casual palm strike could severely injure him.
David stood still, and only when the palm print was about to get close did he casually raise his hand and gently flick a wisp of chaotic origin at his fingertips.
boom!
The enormous cyan palm print instantly melted away, like ice and snow meeting a raging fire, failing to release even a fraction of its power.
The three cultivators from the Canglan Sect had their pupils shrink in shock, their faces filled with horror, and they instantly realized that the person in front of them was not someone to be trifled with.
The leader’s expression changed, and he shouted sternly, “Who exactly are you? How dare you provoke the Canglan Sect in Luoyun City!”
The Immortal King Ancestor of the Canglan Sect is stationed in the Southern Region. If you dare to oppose the Canglan Sect, you will surely die!
“Canglan Sect? Never heard of it.”
David shrugged and smiled nonchalantly, “I just came here to inquire about the Xuanxu Old Monster, I don’t want to cause any trouble.”
But if you insist on bullying us, then don’t blame me for not giving you face.
Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, a gentle voice came from afar.
“Fellow Daoist, please show mercy.”
A young man in white walked slowly towards them. He had a handsome face, a gentle temperament, and a powerful aura, indicating that he was a first-grade Immortal King.
He stepped forward and bowed slightly to both sides. He first looked at the three members of the Canglan Sect and said calmly, “Luoyun City has a city covenant that prohibits private fights within the city. If you all make a move, you will be violating the city rules.”
The young man in white was named Yun Yan, the young master of the Yun family, a prominent local clan in Luoyun City. He was known for his righteousness and had been helping wandering cultivators for many years, earning him an excellent reputation in the city.
When the Canglan Sect cultivators saw Yun Yan, their expressions softened slightly, but they still refused to back down, saying coldly, “Young Master Yun, this is a private matter of our Canglan Sect. We hope the Yun family will not meddle in our affairs.”
“To take action within the city would disturb the peace of the entire city, and is certainly not a private matter.”
Yun Yan remained neither humble nor arrogant, then turned to David with a slight smile, “Fellow Daoist, I am Yun Yan. Seeing that you are an outsider, if you wish to inquire about the Void Shaping Daoist, the Old Monster Xuanxu, I do know a little about it. Why don’t we speak privately?”
David’s eyes lit up, and he readily nodded: “Excellent! Then I’ll trouble Fellow Daoist Yun.”
Seeing this, the three members of the Canglan Sect turned grim, glared at David, uttered a harsh word, and turned to leave angrily, but dared not make a move in Luoyun City.
David followed Yun Yan to a quiet tea stall, where the two sat down and ordered two cups of spiritual tea.
“Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Yun.” David smiled and cupped his hands in thanks.
Yun Yan waved his hand and chuckled, “It’s nothing. In recent years, the Canglan Sect has expanded its power and acted arrogantly in the Southern Region. Relying on the support of the Immortal King Ancestor, it has monopolized void resources everywhere, and many rogue cultivators have suffered greatly as a result.”
“Judging from your methods just now, fellow Daoist, your cultivation is profound. You must be a highly skilled individual traveling in the Twenty-Eighth Heaven. Are you looking for the Mysterious Ruins Old Monster?”
“That’s right, I need to find the Old Monster of Xuanxu and ask him to help me rebuild a physical body and save a friend of mine.”
David did not hide his core purpose: “I just heard someone say that someone saw him in the Shattered Star Void Belt three months ago. I wonder what the Shattered Star Void Belt is? Does the Xuanxu Old Monster really often move around in that area?”
Yun Yan nodded slowly and explained in detail: “The Shattered Star Void Belt is located on the outer edge of the Southern Region of the Twenty-Eighth Heaven. It is a huge area of shattered void, with countless star debris piled up and void interlayers crisscrossing. It is a paradise for native void beasts and is extremely dangerous.”
The Old Monster of Xuanxu wanders in the void year-round, collecting star remains and the essence of the void. It is said that he built a temporary cave dwelling here.
However, the Canglan Sect had long coveted the Shattered Star Void Belt, wanting to seize the minerals and primordial resources within it. They dispatched a large number of disciples to guard the area and block access routes. Any cultivator who wanted to enter the Shattered Star Void Belt had to pay a high toll.
Those three Canglan Sect cultivators were stationed in Luoyun City, specifically to check those attempting to enter the Shattered Star Void Zone.
After listening, David clicked his tongue and chuckled, “Good heavens, the Canglan Sect is really ruthless. They just block the way and collect tolls to become mountain kings.”
