King of Assassins

Chapter 1265: Chapter 761: Four Seas City

Central Province, Four Seas City.

Four Seas City is vast in scale, with tens of millions of residents. Combined with the daily influx of merchants and tourists, Four Seas City can be considered the most bustling city in Central Province.

In the Primordial Celestial Realm, Four Seas City is also the only place where cultivators of various races are allowed to trade freely.

Thus, Four Seas City naturally became the center of the Primordial Celestial Realm.

No one causes trouble in Four Seas City, and no demons or ghosts dare to act recklessly here.

Anyone entering Four Seas City, whether an earth immortal or a little ghost, must obey the rules of Four Seas City. Abiding by the rules will earn them the protection of the Lord of Four Seas City.

"Junior Sister, we may act freely at home, but in Four Seas City, we must follow the rules."

Li Xiulian said to Yue Honglian: "Be sure not to cause trouble."

Yue Honglian looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, with lively eyes and delicate features, dressed in a red sword robe embroidered with purple-gold lotus patterns. A sheathed scarlet short sword hung at her slender waist.

Li Xiulian appeared much more mature, and her stature was taller.

Both women were very beautiful with extraordinary temperaments, drawing frequent attention from pedestrians on the long street upon entering Four Seas City.

The long street was broad and lengthy, lined on both sides with various shops. Pedestrians crowded the street, creating an extremely lively atmosphere.

Moreover, the pedestrians had bizarre and distinctive appearances, ranging across all possibilities.

Some had beast heads with human bodies, some had human heads with beast bodies, some were vague black shadows, and others resembled wooden or stone figures, truly making them extraordinary.

Of course, most still resembled ordinary humans. Even these ordinary people wore various magical artifacts, each emanating immortal Qi, quite different from the norm.

Yue Honglian was much loved by her master within the sect, and deeply cared for by all the senior sister disciples. This was her first time venturing far from home and also her first time seeing so many oddly-shaped cultivators.

These fellows were staring at her continuously, making Yue Honglian very uneasy and triggering an impulse to draw her sword against them.

Li Xiulian noticed Yue Honglian’s discomfort immediately and hurriedly explained the rules of Four Seas City to her.

"The most important rule in Four Seas City is the prohibition of private fights. Regardless of any grievances, they cannot be resolved through private altercations. Four Seas City has only one place where physical altercation is allowed: the Arena of Life and Death. Any grievances can be settled there."

Yue Honglian asked incredulously: "Such a large city, so many cultivators; who can manage them all?"

"Shush, don’t speak recklessly. The Earth Element Daoist Monarch is stationed here, even earth immortals entering the city must obediently follow the rules..."

Li Xiulian pulled Yue Honglian’s sleeve, reminding her to speak cautiously.

The Earth Element Daoist Monarch is known as the first in the Primordial Celestial Realm, a title unrecognized by Cyan Lotus Sword Sect. However, the vast majority of cultivators in the Primordial Celestial Realm acknowledge this title.

Their master Yuan Qinglian, although extremely proud, would not underestimate the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.

Li Xiulian knew that Yue Honglian was youthful and a genius in Sword Dao, already at the top level of Human Immortal. Given a few more thousand years, she might prove herself an earth immortal.

Such talent often leads to arrogance. But in the domain of the Earth Element Daoist Monarch, they cannot act freely.

This time they came to Four Seas City to participate in the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly. If they created trouble, even if the Earth Element Daoist Monarch did not blame them, their master Yuan Qinglian would not forgive them.

Li Xiulian patiently explained the stakes to Yue Honglian. Despite her strong vigor, Yue Honglian was not arrogant or ignorant, understanding the prowess of the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.

Although the disciples of Cyan Lotus Sword Sect believed that their master Yuan Qinglian was invincible and the strongest in the Primordial Celestial Realm.

Everyone held deep respect for the Earth Element Daoist Monarch.

Their master and the Earth Element Daoist Monarch were also friends. Discussing who is first or second is beyond their judgment.

Yue Honglian was merely annoyed by the staring demons and ghosts, but not to the extent of drawing her sword over it.

Li Xiulian had visited Four Seas City several times before, so she was quite familiar with it. She took Yue Honglian to some fun places such as the House of Ten Thousand Ghosts and the Flying Corpse Field, which were excellent for entertainment.

These places harbored ghost souls and flying corpses, which were actually magical artifacts allowing free combat. Extremely fun and entertaining.

Of course, for Human Immortal powerhouse, it might be a bit too weak. However, just playing something novel and exciting brought considerable joy to Yue Honglian.

"It just feels too weak, not satisfying at all."

Yue Honglian was getting excited, but before she could exert herself, the game ended.

Li Xiulian suggested: "How about we check out the market, maybe we could strike a bargain?"

"Forget it, we are sword cultivators, where do we have the eye for bargains? I heard the market sellers of magical artifacts are all fraudsters."

Yue Honglian was uninterested in these. She asked: "Senior Sister, where else is fun?"

"Then let’s go to Beast Fighting Chess Tower. The beast chess there is quite fun as well."

"Beast Fighting Chess?" Yue Honglian had played beast chess before and was quite skilled at it. Traveling such a long way just to play chess didn’t excite her much.

Li Xiulian understood Yue Honglian’s mindset. She smiled and said: "Beast Fighting Chess Tower is a very lively place in Four Seas City, many chess masters from across the realms gather there. Their beast chess pieces are more powerful, reportedly at the Earth Artifact Level, extremely formidable..."

"That I need to witness."

Deep down, Yue Honglian loved competing and winning. Upon hearing about chess masters, she immediately became very interested.

Li Xiulian said: "Playing beast chess involves stakes, with Junior Sister’s skill level, victory is certain."

"Winning is not a concern, just the opportunity to experience encountering the world’s chess masters..."

Yue Honglian’s small face was full of pride, yet her words were quite magnanimous.

Li Xiulian found it amusing and wanted to remind Yue Honglian that Four Seas City is full of hidden talents, quite different from Cyan Lotus Sword Sect. But she thought better of it and said nothing.
