Chapter 158: Su Yen arrrived in Baiyun City
Standing at the bow of a ship, Su Yen looked at the calm Southern sea filled with melancholy.
This was the first time he would be leaving the barren land.
Apart from wanting to explore the main continent, he had three main objectives.
First, to create a foothold for the barren land. Second, to increase the world providence. Lastly, to search for his missing parents.
As for the well-being of the barren landers, with Huang Yin holding the fort and Su Ming with support, he believed nothing could happen to his people.
The barren land was no longer the weak forsaken land of ancient times.
Huang Yin in the Land of Fallen had broken through to the Peak of Foundation Building realm stage 8, while his brother had a cultivation of Foundation Building realm stage 6.
With their bloodline, unless a Grade-6 beast appeared or a Nascent Soul cultivator, the barren land was as safe as it could ever be.
Standing behind him were the people he brought for this voyage.
Ai and Aiguo, with their naive big eyes, looked at the blue sea in wonder, muttering to each other with a bright smile on their faces.
Huang Guo sat drinking strong wine, and seated across from him was the now infamous Zimo.
Since his last battle, Su Yen had taken a liking to him. His demeanor reminded him of a character in a famous movie in his previous life.
As for Elder Hua, she was in one of the rooms, planning the business strategy to use in Baiyun City.
On the ship were five hundred elite soldiers. The leader of the elite team was Biyu. She was busy playing poker with her men.
This was one of the games Su Yen introduced to Su Ming. Su Ming introduced it to the army.
And since then, when the soldiers had nothing to do, they played poker like there was no tomorrow.
Cao Meng and her men looked at the barren landers, calm and peaceful, with various thoughts running through their minds.
The shock they received when they visited Jade City still lingered in their minds. The imposing black pagoda that could be seen anywhere in the city.
Or what about the magical Spirit Construct that traveled at the speed of sound? What about cultivators as common as sands?
Then came the tiny ring that could communicate with each other. How could they wrap their heads around these impossible feats in the barren land?
And when they learned their currency was now spirit stone, they were speechless.
Even though Spirit Stones were not rare in Baiyun City, they were not that common either.
Only cultivators from Qi Refinement upward would have access to Spirit Stones. Unlike the barren land, where it had become a common commodity.
Apart from that, every transaction was done on what they called Spirit Comms. To say they were shocked was an understatement.
Even though the craving for the so-called Spirit Comms, no one had the nerve to ask for it.
Slowly, the ship sailed on toward the main continent, and strangely no beast attacked their ship.
After traveling for three weeks at top speed, they entered the waters of Baiyun City. Sea geese flew in the sky, crying happily.
When the ship finally arrived at the seashore, it was already evening, and the shore was getting deserted. Standing on the bow of the ship was Cao Meng.
She looked at the mortals, carrying their exhausted bodies to their various homes with a conflicted gaze.
Comparing this scene to the ones they witnessed was like comparing dung with diamonds.
The barren landers were burning with passion, full of smiles, but their people were haggard like a rusted bicycle.
"Clan master… How do you think this will turn out?" An elderly man dressed in light armor whispered.
Looking at the man, Cao Meng squinted her gaze and responded calmly. "I don't know, but I know it would shake the city to its core…" She paused before she added. "The peaceful time is about to end."
A knowing look appeared on the old man's face, and he nodded.
They knew how greedy the people of the city were and they won't stop at anything to get what they want.
Apart from that, Baiyun city lord was a selfish man who took everything for himself.
Therefore, they could already foresee the intense battle that was about to wash over their city.
Throwing the unnecessary thoughts out of their minds, Cao Meng announced their arrival.
Su Yen in his room already knew they've long arrived but was waiting for Cao Meng to announce it.
With the moon appearing in the sky, its bright light illuminated the seashore as a group of people disembarked from the ship.
Cao Meng and her men led the charge as they walked toward Baiyun City. The journey wasn't long; it only took ten or minutes.
Looking at the 30 or so meters in the distance, a disappointed sigh escaped from the soldiers.
Everyone had high expectations for the famous main continent. However, since they set foot on the mainland, what they witnessed had disappointed them a lot.
The spiritual energy in the air was thinner than in their land. Apart from that, they were just too weak.
Where was the proud and powerful city? They questioned in their minds. And when they saw their city wall, they couldn't contain the disappointment in their hearts.
Even Su Yen didn't expect the situation of the main continent was this bad.
Now, he realized how far the barren land had developed for the past couple of months.
A deep sense of pride swelled in his heart.
Arriving at the city gate, Cao Meng spoke to the guards, and the guards let them in without any problem.
Unbeknownst to the guards, they've just let tigers into their so-called city. This calm and peaceful night marked the day the trajectory of the city would change forever.
And not just the city alone. The entire continent would feel their presence.
The compassionate tyrant has arrived.
