980: 263 Chapter_2 980: 263 Chapter_2 “Senior Brother is wise.”
“Senior Brother, let me go and just grab a couple of mortals to ask.”
“No, we’ll all go together, a few mortals don’t represent much, we can ask more mortals.
Besides, forcing answers out of them isn’t as real as letting them willingly speak.”
Gu Ling led the group and quickly returned to a city they had passed before, where everyone descended straight from the sky into the city.
Nine people fell from the sky and immediately drew the attention of many residents in the city.
At the same time, several constables quickly surrounded them with drawn swords.
One of the constables even shouted loudly, “How audacious!
The Great Lai Dynasty belongs to the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
According to the laws of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, flying is forbidden within the city, yet you dare to violate the Dynasty’s laws.”
This place was remote, and immortals rarely visited, but those who did pass by adhered to the laws.
This was the first time they encountered immortals who directly flew down, in defiance of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s laws.
All of the group were at the Golden Core Stage.
On a normal day within the Sect, except when facing high-ranking members and a few other powerful individuals, everyone else would act very respectfully towards them.
Now, they were being harshly scolded by mere mortals.
A cold look instantly appeared on the face of one of them.
“A mere mortal dares to act this way, seeking death…” As he extended his hand and mana surged over his palm, he was about to make a move, when suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed him.
“Junior Brother, don’t be so impulsive,”
Gu Ling held back his fellow junior, looked at the surrounding constables, and with a smile said, “We apologize, gentlemen.
We are not cultivators from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty and were unaware of your Dynasty’s regulations.”
“Not cultivators from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty?” The constable glanced at their attire, which indeed didn’t resemble the style of the Great Lai Dynasty or the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
Thinking this, he nodded slightly and said, “If that’s the case, it can’t be helped.
However, while you are within the territory of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, including our cities in the Great Lai Dynasty, make sure not to fly again.
After all, not everyone is as amiable as we are,
especially the cities under the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty where constables and soldiers enforce the Dynasty’s laws very strictly.”
“Oh, thank you for your advice,” Gu Ling nodded lightly, further convinced that the cultivators of the Eastern Wasteland were indeed weak.
Otherwise, how could they possibly accept a rule that even immortals cannot fly within the city?
Moreover, these ordinary mortals even dared to be so assertive towards cultivators.
If it were any place in East Breeze, if a mortal dared to confront their cultivators like this, they would have already killed him.
They were only mortals after all, killing them was no big deal.
Moreover, in their East Breeze, there certainly were no mortals who would dare to be so arrogant in the presence of an immortal.
This Eastern Wasteland might be weaker than imagined.
As Gu Ling thought, he asked, “We come from a remote place, and we came here after hearing the name of the Hundred Peaks Sect, intending to seek a path of cultivation.
Do you know where the Hundred Peaks Sect is?”
His purpose in coming here was to verify whether the information about the Hundred Peaks Sect he heard was true or not.
Around him, upon hearing the name of the Hundred Peaks Sect, several old people in the vicinity instantly showed complex expressions.
Indeed, it was because of the Hundred Peaks Sect that the Great Lai Dynasty had become a territory under the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
Although they were not cultivators, they knew that all three major Immortal Sects of the Great Lai Dynasty had departed due to offending the Hundred Peaks Sect and had gone to unknown places.
Because of the absence of the three major Immortal Sects, the Great Lai Dynasty had once fallen into chaos.
It was only after the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty sent people over, and the Hundred Peaks Sect dispatched immortals, that the Great Lai Dynasty regained stability.
The Great Lai Dynasty was originally a dynasty, but later, it became a territory under the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, which filled their hearts.
However, as time passed, they realized that after becoming under the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, their lives gradually improved.
First of all, the taxes imposed by the imperial court were reduced, and their status was elevated— even immortals were considered equals to them.
Moreover, whenever they faced natural disasters, the predecessors would come to help them.
Their lives were growing richer.
Therefore, upon hearing the name of the Hundred Peaks Sect, those old men felt very complicated.
However, more of the younger people, upon hearing the name of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty and the Hundred Peaks Sect, felt proud and grateful
They only knew that Hundred Peaks Sect was the strongest Immortal Sect in the world, and being so close to the Hundred Peaks Sect meant that if their children were suitable for immortal cultivation, they even had the chance to join the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Upon hearing this, many younger people began chanting loudly.
“We certainly know about the Hundred Peaks Sect!”
“Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t know about the Hundred Peaks Sect?”
“Yes, the Hundred Peaks Sect, that’s the number one Immortal Sect in the world!”
“The Sect Leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect, he’s the top cultivator in the world.”
