Free Web NovelChapter 1382: Chapter 442: The Unwelcome God
It was a team of fourteen people, not representing any city, so they lined up at the back while entering the city.
After the representative teams of all the large and small cities had entered, it was finally the turn of the young man’s team to undergo inspection.
Unexpectedly, during the inspection, they witnessed the absurd behavior of City Lord Ma indulging his male concubine in bullying others.
"Master, the Human Realm is truly full of corruption."
A few guards with handsome appearances followed beside the young man, they also witnessed the absurd behavior of City Lord Ma earlier.
In the Divine Realm, male concubines are occasionally seen, but it’s considered shameful and hidden, unlike City Lord Ma’s blatant display.
"The Human Realm is decadent, humans have Seven Emotions and Six Desires, unlike the purity of the Divine Realm. After entering the city, speak cautiously to avoid revealing our identity."
The young man’s eyes were deep as he glanced at the Heaven and Earth List of Jiu Provinces, and then looked at Xuanwu City. He seemed interested in this super city and the setting of the Heaven and Earth List.
In his view, the Human Realm’s spiritual energy and the quality of its people are far inferior to those of the Divine Realm.
But in one aspect, the Human Realm has vast territories.
Moreover, unlike the Divine Realm, there are no strict territorial divisions nor supreme powerhouses like the God Emperor, here, strength is everything.
He suspects that Marquis Zhongyuan, the undisputed top figure on the Earth List for centuries, is possibly a Divine Master from the Divine Realm who concealed part of his divine power for an excursion.
But which dominion he belongs to in the Divine Realm is unknown.
Still, this Earth List is quite interesting.
Setting aside his private venture into the Human Realm, concealing most of his divine power, suppressing his cultivation to the Peak of Small Divine Power Realm, he suddenly had the notion of trying to see, as a mere mortal, what rank he could achieve on the Jiu Provinces Earth List.
The man pursed his thin lips, withdrew his gaze from the Earth List, and looked at the massive city entrance ahead of Xuanwu City with tens of thousands.
It was near dusk, yet the entrance of Xuanwu City remained bustling with crowds.
This was an ordinary Human Clan city, yet its lively and prosperous degree far surpassed the Northern Territory which has a history of over five hundred years.
Its people were ruled by a vulgar and absurd city lord, yet each face was filled with pride and joy.
Whereas the Northern Territory, which possessed the most formidable army and had a ruling power countless times stronger than City Lord Ma, yet its people abandoned their homes, swayed by Ye Lingguang’s enchantment.
Ultimately, it was because the Northern Territory’s land was too barren, such a harsh place could not sustain long-term prosperity, no matter how resilient the people.
Clearly, finding the Divine Cauldron and refining a new divine land has become urgent.
Having witnessed the Human Realm’s prosperity, he became increasingly convinced of the correctness of his journey.
However, he’d spent over a month in the Human Realm, traveling over a third of the Ancient Nine Provinces, yet still no news of the Jiu Provinces Cauldron.
Recalling the snows of the Northern Territory, the scene of the people’s rebellion, and his pregnant beloved wife at the palace, the man’s brow knitted tightly.
It turns out, the young man with distinguished bearing passing by Di Shen was none other than the disguised Xi Jiuye and the Northern Territory Thirteen Riders.
Xi Jiuye, with tens of thousands of people taken by Ye Lingguang, filled with bitterness and anger, compounded by disputes with Lan Chuchu, after guidance from the God Emperor, decisively came to the Human Realm.
Xi Jiuye did not know that the Jiu Provinces Cauldron had been destroyed years ago.
After entering the Human Realm, he went mostly to prosperous cities or large cities where alchemists gathered, never expecting a place like Huangquan City.
By accident, he missed Ye Lingyue and others.
His full focus was on finding the Jiu Provinces Cauldron to refine the divine realm’s paradise.
Weeks of tracking yielded only one piece of news: Hong Meng Fang Immortal has passed long ago.
Rumor has it, before Hong Meng Fang Immortal fell, the Jiu Provinces Cauldron fell into the hands of his Dual Cultivation Couple, a female alchemist.
Xi Jiuye came to Xuanwu City because he heard that the female alchemist had been there before disappearing, and coincidentally, Xuanwu City was hosting the Jiu Provinces Hunting. Xi Jiuye heard that Jiu Provinces Hunting represents the highest competitive level of Ancient Nine Provinces.
The finest martial artists and even alchemists, and descendants of some hidden noble families, would come here to participate in the hunt.
Among these individuals, some might know about the Jade Hand Poison Master.
With such thoughts, Xi Jiuye also entered Xuanwu City.
With great patience, Xi Jiuye underwent inspection.
"Without a letter of recommendation or identity proof, you are not allowed entry." Who knew, a few Half-Beast Warrior guards stopped Xi Jiuye and his group.
"This is our Pass Order. All other cities allow entry and exit, why not Xuanwu City?"
The Thirteen Riders showed displeasure, having paid the entry fee to freely access other parts of Xuanwu City with their Pass Order.
"Other cities are other cities, Xuanwu City is Xuanwu City. The City Lord has just issued an order. Other than local citizens, guilds, and competing guests, miscellaneous people are not allowed entry."
The Half-Beast Warrior shouted.
In truth, it was bad luck for Xi Jiuye and his group.
Hong Yulang had been scammed by Di Shen with Ancient Demon Technique, and ended in a sorry state. Unable to find the real culprit, he vented his anger on those entering the city.
City Lord Ma, seeking to please him, just issued a ban, making outsiders like Xi Jiuye, without any association or city affiliation, unable to enter the city at all.
As Xi Jiuye heard this, his handsome face was immediately cloaked in icy anger. As a War God Level Divine Master of the Divine Realm, and son-in-law to the God Emperor, Xi Jiuye had never experienced such rejection.
Seeing that they hadn’t left yet, the half-beast guard extended his bear-like paw to drive them away.
"Presumptuous!"
The Northern Territory Thirteen Riders were furious, about to react.
"Stop."
But Xi Jiuye shouted, making the Thirteen Riders halt, reluctantly stepping aside.
"Master!"
The members of the Northern Territory Thirteen Riders expressed dissatisfaction on their faces.
"Oh, miscellaneous people trying to enter Xuanwu City, if I were the half-beast guard, I would’ve smacked you into ground meat long ago."
At that moment, several lavishly dressed men swaggered out from the city.
Those coming were young noblemen around their twenties, each accompanied by a colorfully dressed female demon hunter.
Passing through the city gate, one of them threw out a token.
The token had the character "gold" on it.
Upon seeing the token, the expressions of those Half-Beast Warriors instantly changed.
