C1296 Crescent Moon City
The Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm was the only way out of the Nine Prefectures, but it was also the place that the cultivators of the Nine Prefectures feared. Because it was almost impossible to pass through the Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm. It was an unreachable mountain that led to the sky. It was like a huge door that firmly locked the Nine Prefectures.
And in order to find Chu Yunxue and the others, Chu Tian had come to this kind of Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm. Because of this, he had wasted half a month's time. One should know that Chu Tian was now a cultivator of the Five Direction Stage Realm. But even so, he had to spend such a long time.
This showed how vast the land of the Nine Prefectures was. According to the map given by Yu Xu, Chu Tian had finally found the Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm.
Even though he was still far away from the Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm, Chu Tian could already experience the majestic scene. The entire mountain was connected to the horizon, like the end of the world, telling the world that they couldn't continue moving forward.
The most dangerous place in the Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm was the harsh environment. Endless lightning kept falling from the sky above the Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm.
The countless Thunder Light didn't stop. If one wanted to pass the Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm, one had to go through the lightning trial along the way. Not only that, the entire Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm was burning with flames.
Because of the Thunder Light, the mountain rocks were burning like active volcanoes.
"Sure enough, it's not that simple. If one wants to pass the Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm, that's why cultivators stop moving." Chu Tian said with emotion.
Even he didn't want to try it out so easily. It would be dangerous to barge into the Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm by force. However, Chu Tian's current target wasn't the Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm, but a city not far away from this place.
Crescent Moon City was the city closest to the Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm. The reason why Chu Tian chose this city was because it was the city that was closest to the Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm with the Lake City as the center.
Chu Tian believed that if Chu Yunxue chose this place, she would definitely choose this place. If she wanted to leave the Nine Continents, Chu Tian would naturally bring Chu Yunxue along with him.
After that, Chu Tian arrived at the front of Crescent Moon City in a single step, but he had already stopped because he could clearly feel that there was a formation that restricted the air in Crescent Moon City.
Of course, such a formation might not be able to stop Chu Tian, but if he were to barge in forcefully... Chu Tian was bound to become the enemy of Crescent Moon City. Before he knew Chu Yunxue's whereabouts, Chu Tian did not want to stop because of these troubles.
He descended from the sky. For a cultivator like him who could fly in the sky, it seemed like the common people here were already used to it. Despite this, Crescent Moon City was still very close to the Severed Arm Heavenly Chasm, which was like a natural disaster.
However, Chu Tian also noticed that there were many cultivators coming and going to this city. Of course, most of the people in this city were still ordinary people. Every one of them had to abide by their duty and line up obediently to enter the city. It didn't matter whether they were cultivators or ordinary people. No one dared to be an exception.
Chu Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. This kind of order meant that the person in charge of this place must be an expert, which was why everyone obeyed the rules. One should know that cultivators were born with freedom.
If they wanted to listen to the rules, then they first had to take out enough strength. Chu Tian carefully hid his aura. With his Five Direction Stage strength, entering the city would obviously attract attention.
There were also many people like Chu Tian who hid his strength. After all, no matter what kind of place it was, there were benefits to being more cautious.
The entrance fee was actually just ordinary money. This was something that Chu Tian did not expect. He originally thought that the latter would collect Spirit Stone as the fee, but ordinary money would not have much effect. Perhaps it was to take care of these ordinary people who entered the city.
When he entered the Crescent Moon City, Chu Tian's first impression was that the latter was orderly. However, when he entered the Crescent Moon City, he realized that it wasn't the case.
All the people here carried an evil aura. Chu Tian could vaguely feel a few hostile gazes on him, but no one attacked him. It was just that the atmosphere was too strange.
As for those ordinary people, they all lowered their heads and quickly headed towards the depths of the city. From time to time, some cultivators would look for these ordinary people.
Their goal was purely to blackmail him. This situation not only made Chu Tian dumbfounded, but also made him feel as if he was a hooligan from three sects and nine paths.
However, after a careful observation, Chu Tian also discovered some unusual things. Those cultivators also extorted money at a certain rate. As for those ordinary people, they would also obediently pay the money.
Of course, there were also some ordinary people who were not found to be in trouble, but if one looked closely, they would find that those ordinary people would have guards following them.
When they saw that there were guards following them, those cultivators would act as if they did not see them.
"If you need guards to guard you, then you have to pay." At this moment, a man came to Chu Tian's side and said.
That was a soldier guarding the city. Chu Tian did not sense any cultivation from him, and the latter clearly thought of Chu Tian as an ordinary mortal.
"You guards also have no cultivation base, right? Why are those cultivators afraid of you?" Chu Tian asked curiously.
"It seems like you are new here. This is the rule of our Crescent Moon City. Naturally, they wouldn't dare to attack our guards. If they really do that... Not only will they be chased out of the Crescent Moon City, they will also be killed by the City Lord. Cut the crap. If you want to protect them, give me 20 High Grade Spirit Stone. This way, I can guarantee your safety in Crescent Moon City. " The guard said.
The guard had an impatient look on his face, which was equivalent to charging a fee in public. Chu Tian looked at the situation. He didn't know what the city lord of Crescent Moon City was thinking. How could he use such a disguised method to charge a fee?
However, if that was the case, those ordinary people would certainly hand over the Spirit Stone obediently. This was also for the sake of their own safety.
"I don't need protection." Chu Tian shook his head and said.
"Really? Then I wish you good luck." The guard said disapprovingly.
It seemed like he had seen a lot of situations like Chu Tian's. He looked like Chu Tian was going to die soon. Then, he walked towards the next person.
Chu Tian was even more curious about this Crescent Moon City. Although it seemed impossible, there were rules in the city. The person who ordered this rule was the city lord of Crescent Moon City.
After that, Chu Tian walked into the Crescent Moon City. As expected, when those ruffians saw that there were no guards following Chu Tian, some of them had already walked towards him.
As for the guards, they turned a deaf ear to this as if they were already used to this kind of thing.
"Kid, recently my hands are a little tight. I want you to give me some Spirit Stone to spend. Fifty High Grade Spirit Stone, I'll let you pass. Or do you want to taste the power of my fist? ” A bearded man stood in front of Chu Tian. He raised his hand slightly and a flame ignited in his hand.
It seemed like he wanted to use this to threaten Chu Tian. This man's cultivation base was already at the Spiritual Ocean Tier. However, he didn't expect that he would do such a tasteless thing. Such a small amount of Spirit Stone wouldn't be of much help to the latter. But it seemed like they were willing to do so.
This price was clearly agreed upon. If they wanted to hire a guard, they would only need ten Spirit Stone. However, if they were threatened, they would need to pay five times the price. This way, most of the people would naturally choose to follow the guard.
Of course, there was also a downside to this. The guards by his side were undoubtedly the people who monitored him. The reason why those mortals were unwilling to hire guards was probably because they did not want to reveal secrets.
"I'm not prepared to pay, but I still have to go through this road. I advise you not to play with fire. Furthermore, flames like yours are not worth mentioning at all." Chu Tian looked at the latter coldly and said.
After that, he raised his palm. At this moment, a green flame was ignited on his fingertip, and the flame in the man's hand was swallowed by Chu Tian's Nine Heaven Firework.
After sensing the terrifying temperature, the man in front of him turned as pale as a sheet of paper. A drop of cold sweat was left on his forehead.
"Senior, I apologize for offending you. I was just blind. Please spare my life." The bearded man said in fear and unease.
"Everyone has their own responsibilities. I won't make things difficult for you. Make way for me." Chu Tian said calmly.
"Yes, yes. Thank you, senior, for your great kindness." The man bowed and bowed repeatedly before retreating to the side. He didn't dare to act impudently in front of Chu Tian anymore.
