623 Hidden Cloud City Opens, Entering the Ancient City (2)
However, in the next moment…
‘Ah!’
Another scream sounded in the fog. A figure was blasted out heavily. The guy who had just rushed in was already a bag of bones, as if his flesh and blood had been devoured by something. He was silent.
Die!
He was not the only cultivator. Some cultivators who rushed in from other places suffered the same fate.
“Gasp! What happened?”
“What’s going on?”
“…”
Seeing this scene, many cultivators exclaimed in shock again. They could not help but gasp, shocked by the scene in front of them.
“Hehe, you don’t know how to cherish your life!”
“Don’t you know there’s an array here?”
“…”
There were also some people who seemed to have expected this. They looked like it had nothing to do with them and just watched the show.
When Li Hao, Tang Qianqian, and Yuan Ziyi saw this, a strange look flashed across their eyes. Li Hao’s heart skipped a beat.
In the fog, even Li Hao’s divine sense could not detect it, as if it was blocked by an invisible force.
That power was an array.
There was an array formation in the fog, and that array formation seemed to be a bloodthirsty technique. It could devour people’s blood essence and make the array formation stronger. Those who had entered just now had their blood essence devoured by this array formation.
These impulsive guys had paid the price with their lives.
After what had happened to these people, no one dared to try again.
Everyone was waiting.
Finally, another thirty minutes or so passed.
In the sky, the wind and clouds surged. The clouds that had originally covered the sky seemed to be triggered by an invisible force and dissipated.
Immediately, a dazzling sun fell from the sky and shone into the valley.
Slowly, the fog that had existed in the valley seemed to be triggered at this moment. It slowly dissipated to the sides, revealing the scene in the valley.
An ancient city appeared in front of everyone.
The ancient city was completely made of stone. It stood proudly in the valley with a desolate aura, as if it was an ancient ferocious beast that had woken up from a deep sleep.
Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.
“Hidden Cloud City has opened!”
“The array has dissipated.”
“It’s finally open! Let’s go in.”
Exclamations came from these cultivators again. These people were excited and directly erupted with their cultivation power to rush towards the ancient city in front of them at their fastest speed.
“What are these people doing? Is there a need to be so excited?” Yuan Ziyi could not help but say again.
“Hehe… Of course. There are only so many good things. If we’re slow, they might be bought by others!” Mo Tianxing smiled and said.
“Of course, some of them went to occupy bunks!”
“Occupy bunks?”
Yuan Ziyi was surprised again. Beside her, Li Hao and Tang Qianqian were also puzzled.
“Although most of the people in Hidden Cloud City are vendors, outsiders are still allowed to set up stalls here. As long as you give them a few spirit stones, they can directly become vendors.” said Mo Tianxing again in a low voice.
“No wonder,” said Yuan Ziyi immediately. She immediately understood. Li Hao and Tang Qianqian also understood.
No wonder these people rushed so quickly to snatch good things. On the first day of the market, there would definitely be many good things to sell. As long as there were enough spirit stones, they would basically be able to obtain a good harvest. Moreover, people were not here to buy things, but to sell things. As long as there was good stuff, they could set up a stall in Hidden Cloud City and sell it to others who wanted it. As for the good stalls, it would depend on who ran faster.
“Let’s go in too!” said Li Hao.
“Yes!” The few of them responded and immediately moved towards the ancient city ahead.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the ancient city.
Li Hao saw a few figures in white robes standing proudly at the door, like guards at the city gate.
There were a total of nine figures. On their white robes, there was a word inscribed on their chests. It was the word ‘treasure’.
‘Yes?’
Seeing the nine figures, Li Hao could not help but look surprised.
This was because the nine figures standing there were all late-stage Core Formation Realm experts. Moreover, the leader was already infinitely close to the Soul Formation Realm.
With their cultivation levels, they were already very powerful here.
These people had been sent here to guard the entrance of the market. This lineup was indeed powerful.
Li Hao and the others saw the cultivators who came here take out two spirit stones and hand them to the leader before entering.
“You still want tickets?”
Beside him, Tang Qianqian’s eyes widened again.
“What else? Hidden Cloud City is not opened for nothing! They’re all from the Shengbao Sect!” said Tang Wanshan directly.
The Shengbao Sect was the power behind Hidden Cloud City. This was the first time Li Hao had heard of such a power on the continent.
...
One had to pay spirit stones to enter. Each person had to pay two low-grade spirit stones, but there were at least hundreds if not thousands of cultivators. Just these tickets gave a considerable income.
“Let’s go in.” Then, Li Hao said to Tang Wanshan and the other three. He followed behind the crowd.
The next moment, Li Hao arrived in front of the guards.
“How many of you?” The leader asked Li Hao.
“Five!” said Li Hao directly.
“Ten Spirit Stones.”
Without hesitation, Li Hao took out ten low-grade spirit stones from the system and prepared to hand them to the other party.
“Little brother, why don’t I pay?” said Tang Wanshan immediately.
“It’s just a few Spirit Stones. I can afford it! Don’t worry!” replied Li Hao calmly.
It was just a few low-grade spirit stones. In Li Hao’s system, there were many top-grade spirit stones, let alone low-grade spirit stones.
Li Hao had moved a spiritual vein that produced spirit stones to the system world in the past. At this moment, the spiritual energy in Li Hao’s system world was already extremely rich, comparable to a paradise. Moreover, there were many spirit stones, more than ten thousand spirit stones, and many of them were top-grade spirit stones. As for these low-grade spirit stones, Li Hao had obtained them from the opponents he had killed.
...
Immediately, Li Hao handed the other party ten low-grade spirit stones.
Then, the five of them entered the ancient city without any obstruction.
As soon as they entered the ancient city, everyone felt an ancient aura.
The limestone ground was paved with a path ten feet wide. The path led straight to the center of the ancient city, where some towering buildings were like castles.
On both sides of the road, there were already many stalls. Behind these stalls stood a cultivator from the Shengbao Sect who was also wearing a white robe.
“That’s… a demon core. Wow, so many demon cores!”
“The largest ones are probably the Demon King’s demon cores, right?” At this moment, someone exclaimed and his gaze landed on a stall beside him.
Li Hao and the others also followed his gaze. They saw that there were huge demon beast cores placed in the stalls. Every core was filled with a powerful demonic power, especially the largest ones, they were especially eye-catching.
