Chapter 443: City Ruler’s Banquet |
The gathering in the wooden house only ended when night fell.
The younger generation of the human and alien species came out of the wooden door in an orderly manner and dispersed. Only a few of them traveled together.
Wen Qi rejected the young man’s offer to accompany her and left alone.
Chen Yiming realized that at a street corner, Wen Qi had lost her mature appearance and returned to her original state. She exuded a youthful aura.
When she walked out of the street corner, it was impossible to tell that they were the same person. There were not even many similarities between their appearances. Her figure was even shorter and thinner.
Most importantly, her aura had weakened greatly, and he could sense that her cultivation level had fallen back to the inscription realm.
“Special bloodline?”
“Or are there two consciousnesses in her spiritual world?”
This time, Chen Yiming used the space anchor to see the changes in Wen Qi’s body with his own eyes. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have thought that a person would have a disguise that perfect.
It was no wonder that Wen Qi could move between the Heaven Suppressing City and the forbidden death zone as the big sister of an adventurer team without being seen through.
“Perhaps the reason why this disguise is flawless is because one of the two identities will fall into a deep sleep while the other is active. It’s also because of this that Wen Qi didn’t notice the slight spatial fluctuations when I placed the space anchor on her.”
Chen Yiming wasn’t sure if Wen Qi had noticed it or not. It was also possible that she had noticed it but pretended that nothing had happened.
He decided to pay more attention to Wen Qi’s movements while laying low in the future.
For example, at the gathering today, with the help of the information provided by Wen Qi, he had learned a lot about the south mountain range and also a lot about Gao Shuai.
This was much more reliable than asking random passers-by or finding out on his own.
…
At night,
the city ruler’s residence in the center of the Heaven Suppressing City was brightly lit. Elite soldiers of the Heaven Suppressing Army could be seen everywhere, and the entire residence was guarded tightly.
Although only those who held invitations were qualified to attend the city ruler’s banquet, it did not stop many people from coming to the surrounding area to wait for the city ruler to use the banquet to announce something.
The ruler of Heaven Suppressing City was above the jade star realm, and was on the same level as the powerful elders of the large clans in the universe. He was a big shot even in the south mountain range.
Chen Yiming followed the crowd to a street near the city ruler’s residence.
There were many humans and alien species around him who were just joining in the fun. It did not seem strange at all for him to be there, and no one would check his identity.
At this moment, a middle-aged man handed over something that looked like a candy strip to him and said enthusiastically, “Brother, do you want to try it? It’s handmade by my family.”
Was this a popular snack in the south mountain range?
Chen Yiming glanced at him, not knowing what the middle-aged man’s motive was. He quickly rejected him. “Thank you. I’ve been fasting for a long time for my cultivation.”
The middle-aged man did not force him. He put away the candy strip and popped one in his mouth. He smiled and said,
“Brother, you’ve cultivated to the level of a god at such a young age. You don’t look like you belong to any faction. Aren’t you going to consider taking the initiative to apply for the right to participate in the banquet?”
Chen Yiming replied, “Aren’t you also staying outside to watch? You didn’t apply to attend the banquet either.”
Chen Yiming had already heard about the rumors of people taking the initiative to apply for the right to participate in the banquet. The requirement was to be one of the younger generation at the star condensation realm.
However, if he registered to enter the city ruler’s residence, he would definitely attract attention for no reason. It would not be beneficial for him when he was secretly causing trouble, so he naturally did not consider it.
The middle-aged man changed the topic.
“I think this Infinite Island Group is probably going to cause a huge commotion in the south mountain range. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the city ruler’s faction is involved in the incident with the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop.”
“I wonder why the city ruler specially organized a banquet. The people he invited are all from the younger generation of the various factions.”
Chen Yiming said casually, “The younger generation of the various factions can be his messengers. Perhaps he is really going to provide an explanation to the public?”
