979: Chapter 263 979: Chapter 263 Gu Ling did not dare to directly enter someone else’s sect gate, especially since they possessed a being of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection and another of Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill Perfect Completion.
Once they entered the other’s sect gate, if the other party made a move against them, they would have no chance to escape.
They dared not enter, and the other party did not open the sect gate.
For a time, with the middle finger guiding the conversation, both parties fell silent, with neither speaking.
Moved by a sudden thought, Gu Ling spoke up, “Ladies and gentlemen, we have just arrived in your Eastern Wasteland, and we have only seen this one sect gate.
We are quite curious about the local customs and practices of your Eastern Wasteland.
We are thinking of looking around.
I wonder, do you have any suggestions?”
“Suggestions?
There indeed is one.” Wu Xiang, after hearing the other party’s words, spoke, “It would be best if you do not strike out at the commoners.
In our Eastern Wasteland, at least in our Town Immortal Dynasty, commoners and immortals are considered equals.
Slaughtering commoners is subject to legal sanctions!”
“What?”
All of a sudden, Gu Ling as well as all the cultivators from East Breeze were stunned.
What had they just heard?
They hadn’t misheard, had they?
This person was actually telling them that commoners and cultivators were equal?
How could that be possible!
How could commoners compare to cultivators!
What are commoners?
They could crush countless commoners with just a flick of their finger and yet they’re considered equal to cultivators!
And those cultivators, they actually agreed?
They didn’t resist, didn’t eradicate that dynasty?
That’s right, they just mentioned the Town Immortal Dynasty, that name…
Driven by curiosity, Gu Ling asked, “May I ask, the Town Immortal Dynasty, what ‘town’ is it, and what ‘immortal’ does it refer to?”
Wu Xiang did not speak, but Qiao Jingyao was the first to answer, “‘Town’ refers to guarding, and ‘immortal’, it refers to the character used for ‘immortal’.”
Although her Celestial Plum Sect was currently within the Great Lai Dynasty, and the Town Immortal Dynasty, due to the impending connection day between Eastern Wasteland and Central Five Provinces, in order not to worry the surrounding dynasties and to maintain peace in the world, had not deployed troops to attack the defenseless Great Lai Dynasty.
However, the royal family of Great Lai Dynasty weren’t fools either; they immediately sent a team to the Town Immortal Dynasty to offer tribute and submit, becoming a vassal state of the Town Immortal Dynasty.
Thus, the legal code of the Town Immortal Dynasty was also applicable in the Great Lai Dynasty.
Upon hearing these two words, Gu Ling scoffed internally, what guarding town?
Why don’t you say it’s the town of suppression?
The name, when put together, clearly means the dynasty that suppresses immortals!
In this Eastern Wasteland, there existed a dynasty with such a name, allowing a dynasty to ride over their heads.
They hadn’t eradicated this dynasty, and even obeyed its commands, putting themselves on equal footing with commoners.
Just how incompetent are the immortal cultivation sects of this Eastern Wasteland?
Gu Ling scoffed in his mind, yet no change could be seen on his face.
He gave a bow toward the two at the sect gate, “Thank you for the information.
Then, we shall first visit other places.
After looking around, we might come back to your sect, and to Hundred Peaks Sect, to discuss the Dao with you all.”
Wu Xiang also bowed back from above, letting these people go wherever they wished.
They had come to the Eastern Wasteland; it was unlikely that they would harm the commoners.
And if they sought to cause trouble, besides the Celestial Plum Sect, there was only one other sect nearby, and that was the Hundred Peaks Sect!
If these few people caused trouble at Hundred Peaks Sect…
They would be dead beyond dead.
Gu Ling quickly led his disciples away, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from Qiao Jingyao and Wu Xiang’s sight.
As soon as they could no longer see the silhouette of the other party, everyone among them, Gao Gongliang immediately spoke, “Brother, the Celestial Plum Sect we saw must be tough on the outside but weak on the inside!
If it were our East Breeze, our Sky Flying Sect, if people from other lands came to our sect gate, we would definitely invite them in to ascertain their origins.
They wouldn’t be able to leave if they wanted to, but at the Celestial Plum Sect’s gate, despite having two experts, they let us leave without a word, without even sending someone to follow us, allowing us to go about freely on their territory.”
This must mean that they are not strong enough.
I even suspect that their sect gate, including that so-called Hundred Peaks Sect, only has a few experts.”
Upon Gao Gongliang’s conclusion, everyone around nodded in agreement.
“Brother Gao is right, we had previously seen that the strife among sects here is very fierce.
And those two we saw, both are top experts, because of their strong abilities, they survived the battles.”
“Their sect must, indeed, not have any other experts.”
“Gu senior brother, what should we do now?
Should we continue to wait for the high-ranking experts from our sect to arrive?”
Gu Ling lightly shook his head, “We indeed need to wait for the high-ranking experts from our sect to come.
However, before that happens, we also need to gather some information.
Before, didn’t that person say it was someone from Hundred Peaks Sect, claiming that Hundred Peaks Sect is a world-famous immortal sect?
Such a famous sect, even mortals should know about it.
When we passed through cities earlier, let’s ask, whether those mortals know of the existence of Hundred Peaks Sect, then we will know the truth.”
