Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Qingfeng Li glanced at the long-haired beauty and her younger sister, Xiaomei. He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but ended up shutting it instead.

Qingfeng Li didn’t actually know these twin sisters. Although he wasn’t familiar with them, he felt that the short-haired younger sister was the kinder and more enthusiastic of the two. Her appearance was also quite cute. That was why he chatted with her for a little while.

Her long-haired sister, on the other hand, was very suspicious of Qingfeng Li. He seemed to have made a terrible first impression with her and she thought that he was some sort of devilish character.

It that was the case, Qingfeng Li didn’t want to suck up to her either. There was no need for him to talk to the long-haired female self-cultivator.

The line in front of Qingfeng Li was long, but it moved quickly. Due to the imminent arrival of the demonic monster wave made up of a million demons, all the self-cultivators had handed over monarch level elixirs, vitality stones, techniques, or other kinds of treasures without a fuss. Then, they were allowed to enter the Five-Poison City.

Of course, the most important reason for this was that the Five-Poison City belonged to a high-tier dynasty. Likewise, the guards were also from a high-tier dynasty. This was why no one dared to cause trouble.

When it was Qingfeng Li’s turn, the captain of the guards at the city gates spoke to him in a cold voice, “You’ve got fifteen people in total, so you need to pay fifteen monarch level elixirs or fifteen monarch level vitality stones.”

It had to be said that this guard captain was rather greedy; he had even included Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake in his count. Normally speaking, being demonic beasts, they would be considered pets and would not be counted.

Qingfeng Li frowned. Although he was somewhat displeased, he didn’t argue with the guard captain. He knew that the important thing was to enter the city and find Xue Lin. There was no need to start a fight over two monarch level vitality stones.

Besides, Qingfeng Li had just looted a massive amount of monarch level spiritual treasures and elixirs after killing San Yin.

Qingfeng Li took fifteen monarch level vitality stones and tossed them to the captain of the guards.

The captain nodded, pleased, and said, “Head on in.”

With a nod, Qingfeng Li led Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, and the others into the city.

Behind them, the captain of the guards stared at the retreating figure of the Chief Commander, who was walking beside Qingfeng Li. There was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

He thought that the Chief Commander looked rather familiar, like he had seen him before somewhere. But there were other self-cultivators waiting in line to enter the city.

The captain of the guards shook his head, pushing the thoughts away. It hadn’t even occurred to him that the man walking beside Qingfeng Li might have been the Chief Commander of the Meteorite Dynasty. He knew he had seen the man before, but it was too long ago, and his memories had faded.

When Qingfeng Li and the group entered the Five-Poison City, they let out a collective cry of surprise. This city was massive, at least three times the size of Emerald Lake City.

The streets in the Five-Poison City were also extremely wide. At several hundred feet across, there was enough room for a few dozen horse-drawn carriages to stand side-by-side. To either side of the street stood rows of towering trees. These were ancient trees, each towering several thousand feet tall. Beside them, humans seemed miniscule by comparison.

Each of these ancient trees were more than a hundred feet thick. It would take a dozen or more steps to even walk past one of them.

The ground was paved neatly from Ninth Class meteor stone. Monarch talisman scriptures glittered on their surface, which were Heavenly Dao Seal Scripts of Order. Any attacks from self-cultivators would be reflected back by the material.

Fighting was forbidden inside the Five-Poison City. Normally self-cultivators here must pledge themselves to one of the high-tier dynasties that ruled over the entire city. The two powers had split the city into two halves, The East and the West.

Mengyao Xu walked up to Qingfeng Li’s side. “As expected of a city governed by high-tier dynasties,” she said. “It’s massive, and all the amenities are simply splendid.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. Looking to either side, he found that all the buildings were dazzling skyscrapers.

There were elixir stores, spiritual treasure stores, talisman stores, and weapon stores, among many others. Each store was packed with self-cultivators, all buying materials they needed.

Crowds of people moved up and down the street, including all different kinds of self-cultivators. In this massive city, Qingfeng Li saw not only orthodox self-cultivators, but also devilish self-cultivators.

In front of them walked a spindly man in red robes. Devilish energy poured out from him, obscuring the sky over his head with a cloud of red killing intent. It was clear at a glance that this was a devilish self-cultivator.

But this man must have been infamous, because all around him, self-cultivators gave him a wide berth, not daring to mess with him. Even orthodox self-cultivators went out of their way to avoid him.

It had to be said that in the world of self-cultivators, orthodox self-cultivators had to protect their own Dao by eliminating devils. If they see a devil, they would kill them without question. If even they didn’t dare attack this devilish self-cultivator, he must be extremely powerful.

Walking behind Qingfeng Li, the Peach Blossom She-Devil saw the red-robed man. Her face drained of color, as if she had just seen something that terrified her.

Qingfeng Li furrowed his brow. “Pretty Big Sister,” he said, “is that red-robed man that strong? Why is your face so pale?”

“Qingfeng Li,” the Peach Blossom She-Devil replied, “I’m telling you now. That man is extremely powerful. He ranks tenth on the Devil Rankings. His strength has reached the Fourth Class of the spirit monarch realm.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. So this was the Tenth Devil on the Devil Rankings, no wonder the Peach Blossom She-Devil was scared.

After all, she herself only ranked at the fiftieth place. It was a far cry from the higher rankings.

Having killed the White Hair Devil, among some other self-cultivators, Qingfeng Li’s own ranking on the Devil Rankings had been raised to the twentieth place.

Of course, that was a conservative estimate. Technically speaking, Qingfeng Li definitely could make it into the top ten. But he hadn’t met any of the top ten devils yet, and so he hadn’t defeated them.

The red-robed man’s hearing was exceptionally good. His ears twitched as he heard the Peach Blossom She-Devil’s voice. He smiled, a flash of red light dashing across his eyes as he walked toward them.

Smiling, the red-robed man spoke, “Peach Blossom She-Devil, it’s been a while. You’re still so beautiful. You know who I am, right?”

The Peach Blossom She-Devil furrowed her pretty brows, her delicate features still pale. “Of course, I know you,” she said. “Your name is Qingyang Xue, you’re ranked tenth on the Devil Rankings.”

Seeing the fear in the Peach Blossom She-Devil’s eyes, the red-robed man bellowed in laughter. He was quite pleased. He rather liked this beautiful woman. It would be best if she could become his Dao-mate.

Qingyang Xue stared at the Peach Blossom She-Devil. “This man beside you is too weak,” he said. “You won’t get anywhere following him. Why don’t you come with me? I’ll give you the best of everything.”
