Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 1142: Hanging City


For some reason, although they had only been sitting quietly below for a few days, Yiyi and the others all felt that the aura emanating from Chu Mo was somewhat different than before. It wasn't stronger, nor had it weakened, but rather it had a deep, ocean-like presence!

In the past, one could clearly sense that powerful blood energy from Chu Mo, but now, that feeling had disappeared. In its place... was a completely inscrutable sensation.

Chu Mo was still in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, not yet stepping into the pinnacle of Heavenly Immortals, but he made Yiyi, Hu Lie, and Yue Qingcheng, who had reached the peak of true immortals and could break through at any time, completely unable to see through him.

The four left the Nameless Mountain, traveled over one billion and thirty million miles, and then encountered a city, a grand city suspended in mid-air!

Even as true immortals, they could hardly discern what kind of power made such an ancient grand city float in mid-air.

Numerous cultivators flew in and out, and Chu Mo and his companions even saw some familiar faces. Those were cultivators from the outside world.

This place was already deep into the territory of the heavenly road.

"This is a city belonging to the indigenous people on the heavenly road," Yiyi said with a serious expression on her face, softly speaking, "Here, although outsiders are not rejected, one must be careful."

"I've heard of this city," Hu Lie said from the side, "It's called Hanging City, an ancient city in the middle section of the heavenly road. It is said that this grand city was refined by a supreme being and placed here. It allows the native creatures of the heavenly road to conduct all kinds of transactions with the cultivators from the outside world."

"This is an area of chaotic order," Yiyi said earnestly, "Don't be deceived by any appearance; the natives of the heavenly road will never unite with the cultivators from the outside."

Chu Mo nodded, "It's just a matter of each getting what they need."

Yiyi hummed in acknowledgment, then looked at Chu Mo, "Shall we go in?"

"Let's take a look," Chu Mo said, "it's a good opportunity to find out about recent events on the heavenly road."

After that, the four flew towards the city.

Along the way, they encountered some cultivators from the outside. Seeing the four of them, some recognized their identities, and their faces showed shock, hardly believing that they would encounter these famous figures here. Although they didn't gossip, they still watched them enter Hanging City.

"Was that really Chu Mo just now?"

"That incredibly beautiful woman, is that Yiyi? Is she really together with Chu Mo? Unbelievable, to think that the most dazzling flower of the Heavenly Realm would end up with Chu Mo's group... *cough cough*"

Someone by his side gave him a faint glance, and the cultivator immediately shut his mouth, feigning a couple of coughs as a cover.

Because the person looking at him was a follower of Yiyi!

Especially one of them, a tall and handsome man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, whose gaze at the cultivator who had just spoken out of turn was so fierce, as though he was about to devour him, that the cultivator retreated again and again in fear.

The handsome man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes said nothing but let out a cold snort. Then he followed them inside.

By now, Chu Mo and Yiyi had already entered Hanging City. Chu Mo suddenly said with a smile, "Miss Yiyi, your followers are very loyal."

Yiyi looked at Chu Mo with gentle eyes that rippled like water and spoke softly, "They've been with me for many years and are very loyal. If you dislike them, I can dismiss them."

"Stop right there... You know that's not what I mean," Chu Mo said, "You know that between us..."

Yiyi smiled sweetly and then softly said, "Let's talk about this later. There's someone blocking the way ahead."

"Hm?" Chu Mo was slightly taken aback, lifted his head, and looked forward.

A very handsome young man stood in the street, radiating intense coldness as he stared at him with a chilly gaze.

"Little Peacock?" Chu Mo looked at the man, and then his gaze fell on his arm.

A furious expression suddenly surfaced on Kong Hongyi's cold face; then, clinching his teeth, he said to Chu Mo, "Chu Mo, where do you think you'll escape to this time?"

At that moment, Long Qiushui's figure appeared from one side. Upon seeing Chu Mo, he said with a smirk, "Oh, isn't this Young Master Chu Mo, who obtained the Quasi-Saint medicine, gentiana? What a fortunate meeting!"

With Long Qiushui's words, the entire street instantly erupted into commotion.

"Quasi-Saint medicinal herb, gentiana?"

"Was that Quasi-Saint herb obtained by Chu Mo?"

"Is it true or false? Does Chu Mo really have such ability?"

"A Quasi-Saint herb, huh, a divine object that can allow an emperor-level cultivator to live an extra lifetime!"

Many people's gazes toward Chu Mo had changed.

Before, there was just a touch of admiration, but now it was filled with greed.

Chu Mo glanced at Long Qiushui and, seeing his schadenfreude expression, said indifferently, "What gentiana? Wasn't it you who got it?"

"How dare you slander me!" Long Qiushui immediately flared up in anger.

Following Chu Mo's remark, many people on the street looked at him with confusion.

Yiyi, conveniently standing by Chu Mo's side, added, "No wonder, I was wondering why I never saw that Quasi-Saint herb."

"Was it really obtained by Lord Long?" Yue Qingcheng asked innocently.

"It should be," Hu Lie scratched his head. "I didn't see clearly; his movements were too fast."

"You... you..." Long Qiushui's face turned red with rage, almost vomiting blood from anger. He originally wanted to make Chu Mo the target of public criticism, but in just a few words, these few people around Chu Mo had cleverly shifted the blame onto him. The feeling was more disgusting than eating flies.

At that moment, Kong Hongyi, who had been ignored, sneered, "Unexpectedly, a young noble of Yiyi's status and position has also started to lie. Haha, love really makes one's head dizzy."

Chu Mo glanced at Kong Hongyi and said calmly, "Oh, have your wings grown back?"

"I have one here too," Yiyi giggled.

"Peacock wings for dinner tonight?" Chu Mo asked.

Yiyi smiled sweetly, "All according to your wishes!"

A group of top Heavenly Geniuses from the Heavenly Realm, facing off in the Hanging City on the heavenly road, instantly made the atmosphere extremely tense and solemn. And their conversation was full of sparks and hidden dangers.

Peacock wings?

The surrounding crowd burst into an uproar.

"Is that Kong Hongyi, the young noble of the Peacock Clan? Were his wings cut off?"

"Impossible, right? Kong Hongyi is outstanding among the young nobles. Who could easily sever his wings?"

"He's outstanding? Haha, Yiyi, Lady Yiyi... She is the best of the best!"

"That's true. Only those of us with some standing have the privilege to know how formidable Lady Yiyi is!"

The crowd's murmurs made Kong Hongyi's face alternate between pale and flushed. However, many were still covertly watching Chu Mo and Long Qiushui.

They still weren't clear about who actually had the Quasi-Saint herb, but it appeared that one of the two sides was definitely lying!

That is to say, the Quasi-Saint herb, gentiana... had absolutely been harvested by someone!

This news was truly astonishing!

The crowd's curiosity about the whereabouts of the gentiana completely overshadowed the potential fight between these young Heavenly Geniuses on the main street of Hanging City.
