Chapter 1935: Treasure Pavilion Auction

The other two Demonic Cultivators realized the situation was unfavorable and had already decided to retreat. Seeing their leader flee, they were even more frightened, and each used their methods to transform into two black smokes, desperately escaping in different directions.

Luo Qingchen snorted coldly, reverse-wielding his sword to unleash two streaks of Sword Qi, chasing after the black smokes.

Ah! Ah!

Two short screams were heard; the two Demonic Cultivators couldn’t even escape and were slain by the Chaos Sword Qi, their vitality extinguished, falling from the sky as two charred corpses.

After dealing with the two Demonic Cultivators, Luo Qingchen looked in the direction of the fleeing ghost-faced Demonic Cultivator, his brow slightly furrowed. The man’s strength was not weak, and he possessed the secret technique of Blood Escape. Having escaped today, he would likely be a problem in the future.

"Brother Luo, are you alright?" Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan rushed over, asking with concern.

Luo Qingchen shook his head, "I’m fine. It’s just a pity the leader escaped."

Su Xiaowan, with lingering fear, patted her chest, "Thankfully, Brother Luo, you’re skilled; otherwise, we would have been in danger today. Those Demonic Cultivators are truly hateful!"

Lin Wan’er, being more composed, walked over to the two Demonic Cultivator corpses and searched them, only finding some low-level Elixirs and a few Low-grade Spirit Stones, nothing of real value.

"It seems these Demonic Cultivators were broke as well." Su Xiaowan pouted.

Luo Qingchen said, "This place is not safe for long. Although the ghost-faced Demonic Cultivator escaped, no one can say he won’t return or bring stronger companions. We must leave here quickly and find a town to gather information, to determine our current position and the route to the Qingyun Mountain Range."

Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan naturally had no objections.

The three of them quickly dealt with the battlefield and swiftly left this place of trouble, continuing to head southwest. After this incident, they all felt a touch more vigilant. This unfamiliar region was clearly more complex and dangerous than they had imagined.

In the following days of travel, Luo Qingchen and the others became even more cautious. They avoided the main roads where possible, choosing secluded forests to traverse. Along the way, they encountered a few waves of Demonic Beasts, all of which Luo Qingchen promptly dealt with.

As they continued deeper southwest, the terrain gradually changed. The rolling mountains were gradually replaced by gentle hills and vast plains, and the Spiritual Energy in the air became relatively denser. Occasionally, they could see other cultivators driving Magic Artifacts, streaking across the sky in flight.

That evening, as the sun set, the sky burned with magnificent afterglow. The three crossed a hill, and a substantial city emerged on the distant plains.

The city was built against the mountain, with towering and formidable walls made of enormous bluestone, marked with the patina of years. The buildings inside were densely packed, with vague human figures, smoke from kitchen chimneys wafting up, presenting a bustling scene. Above the city gate, three grand characters were inscribed in elegant calligraphy—"Luoxia City."

"Wow! What a large city!" Su Xiaowan looked at the distant city, her eyes brightening. Since leaving the Returning Ruins, this was the first time they had seen such a large human settlement.

Lin Wan’er’s eyes also showed a hint of relief. After days of travel and alertness, they were somewhat fatigued. Finding a place to rest temporarily was naturally good.

Luo Qingchen gazed at Luoxia City with a calm expression. He could sense the mixed auras of cultivators in the city, numerous and diverse, including some with considerable cultivation. This presented both opportunities and challenges for him.

"Let’s enter the city and take a look," Luo Qingchen said. "Perhaps we can gather some information about the Qingyun Mountain Range or other Star Map fragments here."

The three quickened their pace, reaching the base of Luoxia City before nightfall.

A few city guards in uniform were checking people at the city gate, but their focus was mainly on those who seemed fierce or suspicious. Luo Qingchen and his companions were extraordinary in temperament—handsome for the man, graceful for the women—and despite their travel-stained appearance, they did not seem suspicious. After paying a small entry fee, they entered the city smoothly.

Entering the city, they were immediately enveloped by an atmosphere of bustling excitement. The wide streets were paved with bluestone slabs, lined with shops—taverns, inns, Elixir medicine shops, Magic Artifact Pavilions, Talisman shops, and more, all available. The streets bustled with mortals and cultivators alike, with cries of vendors, shouts, and haggling filling the air in a vibrant scene.

Su Xiaowan, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, found everything novel, tugging on Lin Wan’er’s hand, looking around with unending chatter.

"Sister Wan’er, look at that sugar figure; it looks like a little tiger!"

"Wow, the jewelry over there is so beautiful! Is that a Magic Artifact? It looks impressive!"

Lin Wan’er, being led around, also had a light smile, occasionally responding.

Luo Qingchen remained relatively composed, his gaze roaming the shops along the street, seeking potential sources of useful information.

They first found a relatively clean and tidy inn to stay. They booked three upper rooms, with Su Xiaowan and Lin Wan’er in one to care for Bai Ling’er, and Luo Qingchen in a room by himself.

After settling in, Luo Qingchen said to the two women, "I’ll go out to gather some information. You two wait in the inn, stay safe, and try not to cause any trouble."

"Got it, Brother Luo, don’t worry!" Su Xiaowan assured, patting her chest confidently.
