Chapter 70 The City That Never Sleeps and King Gui

At dusk, a small boat floating in the setting sun, the river breeze blows through the black hair on the temples, Song Zhi leans on the wooden mast and looks out, not knowing what he thinks.

Jiang Yazhen got off the boat early at noon, said goodbye and headed eastward.

The boatman's oars slowed down.

Zhu Wushi seemed to feel something, his eyelids moved slightly, his closed eyes slowly opened a gap, and a golden light poured down from his pupils.

He has been practicing.

After experiencing the battle of the Taoist Temple of Eternal Life, Zhu Wushi fell into self-reflection. He never liked to complain about how high the enemy's realm was. As a king and prince enthroned by the emperor, he could only think about how to make up for the gap.

Just as Zhu Wushi opened his eyes, the boatman's voice also came:

"Young master, girl, the city will arrive before sleeping."

Song Zhi then came to his senses, put away Lin Jiangxian's appearance just now, covered his noisy belly and looked towards the bow of the boat. His eyes were suddenly very clear because of surprise.

You will never know what a "fairy" is worried about when he is out of the world. Maybe he is just fantasizing about what to eat at night.

In the afterglow of the sunset, a giant city surrounded by mountains and rivers slowly emerged at the end of its sight.

Green mountains surround the city, on one side of the river are the continuous carvings and water pavilions, and on the higher ground are the tall houses lined up on the mountainside. Three towering columns of light in the city shine directly into the sky, and the light blue light pierces the sun and opens the clouds, making it extremely magnificent.

Even though they are far apart, the noise of gongs and drums still comes gently with the evening breeze...

"This is... a city that never sleeps?" Song Zhi trotted to the bow of the ship without hiding his surprise.

Zhu Wushi blinked and replied softly:

"The so-called two-descendants in the south, one of which is Jiangnan, where the Demon Hunting Branch is located, and the other is the Xiongcheng of Nanxiangzhou, which is under the control of King Gui, and the city that never sleeps."

Song Zhi gently clawed his head. He often heard the sect leader mentioning the land of Jiangnan. That was the place where she grew up. As long as the sect leader was not in the sect, he would be in the Jiangnan Demon Snatching Department.

He had only heard of this city that never sleeps once or twice from Zhu Wushi. When he met this time, he was indeed worthy of the name of the largest city in the south.

As the river waves drifted, the boats quickly entered the waters of the city without sleeping, and the number of boats on the water gradually increased.

Walking through the pillar forest below the water pavilion, Song Zhi looked upwards and the lanterns hanging from all over the water corridor emitted a warm light, and the scent of prosperity spread on his face.

There were ships close to each other, and some people had noticed Song Zhi's appearance and couldn't help but exclaim.

Song Zhi covered his face when he heard the sound, quickly took out the mask and put it on, and tied the hat again.

This set of movements is smooth and skillfully gives Song Zhi an illusion...

People are in another world, and now big stars are ready to go out.

With a bumpy ride, the boat docked at the pier in the inner city. The boatman wiped his face with a towel around his neck and said with a smile: "Two distinguished guests, we have arrived in the city."

Zhu Wushi nodded, got up and walked up the stone steps, took out a ingot of silver from his arms and handed it to the boatman, and said calmly: "The wind and waves are too big at night, so you can stay here tonight."

After holding the money, the boatman nodded gratefully. After Song Zhi got off the boat, he really tied the rope on the spot and no longer planned to return to Yunwu Mountain overnight.

From the pier in the inner city, what caught Song Zhi's eyes was a wide street where eight horses could travel together.

Wherever you can see, the lights reflected by shops, restaurants and theaters are bright and brilliant. There are golden phoenix spring trees unique to Nanxiangzhou on both sides of the street. The street is crowded with crowds, dust is flying under horse hooves, and shouting and music are intertwined, making it very lively.

Fire trees and silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened.

The dark dust follows the horse, and the bright moon comes to the crowd.

Song Zhi suddenly understood the meaning of these poems.

"Let's go, go to the Demon Hunting Station here first."

Zhu Wushi looked up and the sun had already set at this time, but the clouds above the city never sleep were reflected by three towering beams in the city. Blue light spots fell from the night sky, still illuminating the entire city.

The city never sleeps, hence the name.

The two walked on the street and looked at the dreamy scene above their heads. Song Zhi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Zhu, where did this light pillar come from?"

Zhu Wushi inadvertently glanced at the top of the mountain and replied: "This is the jade pearl, which is specialized in Wujiling at the end of the southern end. It can emit light comparable to daylight in the dark. Like the three grades in the city, even the royal family in the capital does not have."

Song Zhi said oh, and just as he was about to glance elsewhere, the voice of the demon fox sounded.

"Hmm? This breath...boy, where are you now!"

The fox's voice was filled with surprise, as if it was suddenly awakened from its sleep.

Song Zhi replied in his heart: "I have arrived at a place called "Never Sleeping City, what's going on?"

The demon fox seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his tone became a little relaxed: "I thought you had run to Wuji Ridge, why could I feel the breath of the Soul-Feeding Bead nearby?"

Song Zhi was stunned, Soul-feeding Bead?

"Is the soul feeding bead you mentioned that can shine?" Song Zhi guessed something.

The demon fox said, and his tone became subtle: "It is true, the light of the Soul-Feeding Bead is unblockable at night. Why, did you see it?"

After saying that, Song Zhi's eyes slowly turned green, and the demon fox was borrowing him to check around.

"This...this light column, the heaven-level soul feeding bead!?"

The voice of the demon fox became very sharp and seemed very excited.

"Boy, if you can worship these soul-feeding beads to me, I will directly make you a human 'hunting', what if?"

This time, it was Song Zhi's turn to be shocked. He looked around guiltily and said, "Don't brag first, I'm in such a rags now. This soul feeding bead has a great effect on you?"

The demon fox pondered for a moment, and said in a serious tone: "The Soul-Feeding Bead is a treasure for the treatment of soul injuries to monsters such as me. If I can get the Heaven-level Soul-Feeding Bead, you can practice at least twenty years less."

"Needless to say, I already understand."

Song Zhi raised his head with his eyes shining, grabbed Zhu Wushi and asked, "Mr. Zhu, what are the channels for this feeding... Yu Mingzhu?"

Zhu Wushi was stunned, then looked at Song Zhi with a fool's gaze, stopped and said:

"The Jade Pearl only produces a very small number of people near the giant monsters. In his early years, King Gui ordered that, except for taking a small amount as tribute to the palace, no private transactions are allowed, and the discoverer will end up dead."

He saw Song Zhi's embarrassing look and smiled and continued to finish the attack:

"You can also try it. Anyway, more than one idiot has tried it. How many first-class masters who dare to do this are dead?"

Song Zhi turned his head away, too lazy to pay attention to Zhu Wushi's teasing, and held his chin with one hand and fell into thinking.

"Who is the King of Gui you just mentioned, a high-ranking official?"

Zhu Wushi smiled at the sky when he heard this, shook his head and continued to raise his foot and walk forward.

"The powerful?"

"For the past century, the largest source of cholera on the border of Dayuan Kingdom has been Wuji Ridge thousands of miles away from here. The demonic energy soars into the sky, and it is a rare "demon nest" gathered by a group of monsters. According to the investigation of the Demon Hunting Department and the calculation of the Sitian Supervision, most of the demon saints are tracked."

"The vassal king responsible for guarding the south is King Gui who led 200,000 elite soldiers to guard Wujiling. It can be said that he is the prince with the greatest real power in the Dayuan."

Song Zhi trotted and caught up with Zhu Wushi in two steps. He knew that Wujiling was a dangerous place, but he didn't know that it was so dangerous that his senior brother actually went to King Gui to join the army with all his passion...

"Mr. Zhu, if Wujiling is so terrifying, can the army really stop it?"

Zhu Wushi looked as usual and didn't seem to be worried about this issue.

"Don't worry too much. There are many powerful monks in King Gui's army, and he has another identity."

"Dragon hunt."
