503 Showing Off Before an Expert

However, one couldn’t rely on guesses and judgment to determine something. There could be other reasons for why the branch sect didn’t come to welcome them.

As for what the reason was, it could be known easily. They just had to make a trip to the branch sect.

Purple Mystic Fairy lifted her head and looked at the capital in the sky.

Although the branch sect didn’t appear and couldn’t guide them, it wasn’t difficult for her to resolve this matter.

The eyes of Lord Fifth also revealed a hint of coldness. As for the others, most of them were deep in thought. Many of them secretly glanced at Xu Qing and the captain.

Chen Tinghao and Sun Liying also sensed that something was amiss. After asking politely, Chen Tinghao immediately spoke.

“Senior Zi Xuan, Fellow Daoist Xu Qing, Fellow Daoist Erniu, I’ll ask later if something happened to your Eight Sect Alliance’s branch sect. However, if it’s just guiding you into the city, we can help.”

As he spoke, he immediately took out a jade slip and transmitted his voice.

When Xu Qing and the captain heard this, they bowed to Chen Tinghao to express their gratitude.

Purple Mystic Fairy nodded slightly. If there was no need, she didn’t want to use her connections in the county capital on her first day here, especially on such a small matter like entering the city.

Moreover, the most important thing was that this was the county capital and there were many experts here. She couldn’t be as fearless as she was in the Yinghuang Province.

Here, she had to be more cautious.

This was especially so when they had just arrived.

Hence, she first needed to figure out what had happened to the branch sect of the Eight Sect Alliance.

With Chen Tinghao’s help, three beams of light quickly flew out of the county capital above and transformed into three people.

These three people wore brownish-black standard-issue robes and their bodies were surrounded by lightning. Clearly, they were from the same sect as Chen Tinghao.

However, they didn’t look like a Sword Holder.

After they arrived, they exchanged pleasantries. Under Chen Tinghao’s introduction, Xu Qing knew that these three people were Primordial Lightning Lineage disciples who were on patrol duty in the city.

When the three of them heard Chen Tinghao introduce Xu Qing and the captain as new Sword Holders, they were clearly even more polite. Their expressions were filled with respect as they escorted the group of people from the Eight Sects Alliance into the county capital.

This scene caused Xu Qing, who was good at observing, to gain another understanding of the status of the Sword Holder.

At the same time, he instinctively looked at the city that was getting closer and closer.

This city looked circular from afar and was incomparably vast. There were high walls surrounding it and countless rune marks flickered inside, forming waves of terrifying pressure.

This was especially so when they got close. This pressure was extremely astonishing. When it swept past them, it seemed to be verifying their identities.

With Chen Tinghao and the three patrols as guarantors, Xu Qing and the others didn’t encounter any obstacles during the verification of their qualifications to enter the city. They successfully stepped into the county capital.

As he stepped in, a majestic city was reflected in Xu Qing’s eyes.

Although the capital was large, it was orderly. There were many buildings on the long streets and most of them were made of green jade with purple and red roofs. It looked imposing but at the same time, there was a natural sense of solemnity.

Also, because the city was filled with spirit plants and trees, this solemn atmosphere also carried a hint of elegance.

Dense spirit qi was constantly emitted from every brick, tile, blade of grass, and tree, enveloping the surroundings, causing the entire capital city to be filled with vitality.

There were many mortals and cultivators inside, and the streets were bustling with activity.

The buildings looked imposing from afar. Up close, there was no lack of aesthetic beauty. There were many courtyard houses with large doors and small houses that exuded exquisiteness.

Regardless of scale or appearance, they weren’t something the Eight Sects Alliance’s city cluster could compare to. The difference in foundation between the two sides was obvious.

What shocked Xu Qing the most were two places.
