Chapter 2309 - 2309 2299 City God Temple

2309: Chapter 2299: City God Temple 2309: Chapter 2299: City God Temple Of course, Long Yan had already reached the next city where all cultivators are strictly regulated, unable not to bully ordinary people, which is also why the Qin Dynasty, with the weakest strength, has the largest population.

This is because there are good regulations here for cultivators, where cultivators are cultivators and ordinary people are ordinary people, with no aggression between them.

The city before us is called Moon City, which has a quite nice name.

It is said there’s a beautiful legend that the moon in the sky remains perfectly round all year round during the night.

After traveling nearly a day, Long Yan’s first goal was to find a place to stay, but he keenly felt that the number of people in Moon City seemed a bit large.

After all, Ying City is already considered a large city, but the density of people here is much higher than in Ying City.

Long Yan didn’t take it to heart, perhaps it was because there had been some event recently in Moon City.

“Sorry, Guest, all our rooms are already full.”

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with an apologetic face to Long Yan.

This was already the fifth inn Long Yan had found, and there are only two inns in Moon City, this being the last one.

Seeing the bustling inn, Long Yan didn’t speak, the shopkeeper wasn’t deceiving him.

“Shopkeeper, why are there so many people in Moon City?”

Long Yan took out a gold ingot and placed it in the palm of the shopkeeper, he was just a bit curious, what could have caused so many people to be in Moon City.

Seeing the gold ingot in Long Yan’s hand, the shopkeeper felt his soul being lured away by the shiny object, and said with a flattering smile.

“Guest, you must be from out of town.”

Long Yan didn’t respond, just listened as the shopkeeper continued.

“It’s because recently the Mingyue Sect is coming to recruit disciples in Moon City, and people from the surrounding cities, big and small, all want a chance for immortal fate and are bringing their children to register.”

Previously on the street, Long Yan indeed saw many parents with their children.

It seems the shopkeeper wasn’t lying to him, but this Mingyue Sect is really impressive, able to attract so many ordinary people to register.

“What is it, every year when Mingyue Sect recruits disciples in Moon City, there are hundreds who register, but probably only a handful can make it to the final selection.

The registration fee per person is one silver ingot; just imagine how much money that would take.”

The shopkeeper made an exaggerated expression, stretched out his right hand, and showed Long Yan the number five, indicating that this annual recruitment of disciples is indeed a money-making method for Mingyue Sect.

“Thanks, shopkeeper.”

Gently placing the gold ingot on the table, Long Yan stood up.

He had heard of Mingyue Sect before, just another third-rate sect in the Holy Domain.

Such schemes were not uncommon in Long Yan’s past.

Things like enlightening ordinary people and giving them a taste of immortal fate are just excuses for making money.

The path of cultivation is contrary to the heavens; it’s not so easy to embark on.

Shaking his head in resignation, Long Yan left the Pub.

However, their scheme to make money is their own concern, Long Yan had no interest in interfering.

The urgent task was to find a place to stay, and it was then that he spotted a City God Temple in his sight.

Gently pushing open the tightly closed gate, the incense offerings at this City God Temple had already ceased a long time ago.

Although not frequently cleaned, the temple was rather tidy, showing that someone had once lived here.

Although the place is small, it is still much better than the dilapidated streets.

Long Yan plans to make do here for the night.

Following the sunset, the surroundings fell into silence.

After laying out the blanket he bought in the city today, Long Yan planned to rest here, as he would be leaving tomorrow anyway.

But just when Long Yan had fallen asleep for a short while, the gate of the City God Temple was stealthily pushed open, yet it was not Qing Li, who had been following Long Yan.

Instead, it was a group of cultivators dressed in white clothes, with swords hanging at their waists, and silvery moon-like jewelry tied on their right hands.

Each person wore a large bamboo hat on their head, and from their physique, they all seemed like women, but their faces were covered with white veils, making it difficult to see what they really looked like.

Just as this group entered the City God Temple, Long Yan had already woken up, his eyes instantly turning golden, concealing his own breath.

Clearly, these white-clothed cultivators did not possess cultivation bases as high as Long Yan’s.

They were merely ordinary Half-Step Divine Emperors.

The woman leading them was just a Divine Emperor first stage, evidently failing to notice Long Yan’s presence.

“Big sister, what should we do now?”

As soon as they entered the City God Temple, a girl voiced from behind the leading woman, her tone clearly carrying a bit of anxiety.

“At this point, what do you think we can do?”

Although the woman called big sister was wearing a veil, Long Yan still intuitively felt her frown slightly.

She had thought she could complete the task assigned by her sect smoothly, but today an unexpected challenge had arisen.

“Qiong Tian Gate and our Mingyue Sect have always been at odds, but today they’ve crossed the line, wanting to assassinate our client.”

The girl stated tensely, making it clear to Long Yan, who was listening nearby, about the conflict between the Mingyue Sect and Qiong Tian Gate.

Apparently, the two sects’ missions had clashed: Mingyue Sect was protecting, while Qiong Tian Gate was out for an assassination, making things somewhat interesting.

“But with our strength, how can we possibly fight against Qiong Tian Gate.”

The big sister commented, silencing the chatter among the other Mingyue Sect members.

This time Qiong Tian Gate had dispatched their chief disciple Yu Hai, who was far beyond their capabilities, not to mention that the big sister was also injured.

The big sister was about to say something else when she cried out in pain, clutching her arm.

Under the watch of golden eyes, Long Yan saw blood seeping out from her clothes, indicating that the leading woman had sustained serious injuries.

Of course, all this had nothing to do with Long Yan; he just needed to keep playing his role perfectly.

“Otherwise, big sister, let’s take this chance and run away,”

said the previously speaking maiden.

Rather than waiting to die in this small City God Temple, it would be better to flee amidst the chaos ignited by Qiong Tian Gate.

Once back inside Mingyue Sect’s domain, Yu Hai’s strength, formidable as it might be, would be unable to reach them.

“Ling’er, what nonsense are you spouting?

Let’s not even mention how late it is, Yu Hai has sealed all the roads leading out of the city, venturing out would be walking into a trap.”

“But big sister…”

The girl called Ling’er still wanted to say more, but then a thunderous voice came from outside the City God Temple.

“Members of Mingyue Sect, do you wish to come out yourselves, or shall Yu someone invite you out?”
