Arrival at Cloud City!
Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the two demons leave.
He knew, of course, that things were unlikely to end well.
However, he was also a Daoist Cultivator from the Great Qian.
He was once Top Grade genius of the Dragon Sword Sect, one of the Nine Supreme Sects. His Sword Dao was unparalleled, and he was proud and ambitious when he decided to step into the Great Qian Court.
But now, after spending so many years in Tribute City, Wang Yuan has witnessed the dark side of the Great Qian.
Forced to collude with Demon Cultivator, and tormented for years, his Dao Heart had long been clouded and he was unbearably repressed.
Today, Su Bai did something he had never dared to do before.
Therefore, after the incident, he was willing to stop the Demon Cultivator for Su Bai and help Su Bai handle the aftermath.
Wang Yuan pondered for a moment, then darted towards the Office.
Not long after.
Wang Yuan arrived at the Office and appeared before Su Bai.
At this moment, Su Bai was holding his head and standing obediently in the Office.
"You can put your head down now," Wang Yuan said.
Su Bai thought for a moment, then took a storage box from the Spirit Transformation Furnace and carefully put his head inside.
"Chief Steward, this head is crucial evidence for finding out its identity and origins." Su Bai placed the box on the table.
Seeing Su Bai's serious expression, Wang Yuan rubbed his forehead and then burned Su Bai's stinking head clean with a single burst of fire.
"What are you doing, Chief Steward...?"
"Why did you destroy the evidence?" Su Bai was shocked.
Wang Yuan sat calmly to one side and said, "You may sit down too."
"You've just advanced to the Nascent Soul; there's still a lot you need to learn."
"This involves many truths that may change your perspective, and I can't explain them to you in a short time."
"If you stay in Ning City, you'll be in great danger."
"Anyway, once you advance to the Nascent Soul, you won't be able to stay in Ning City anymore."
"I'll write you a letter of Letter of Introduction. You'll set off for Cloud City tonight, pass the assessment Cloud City, and become Official Night Watcher. After that, your superiors will arrange for you to take up a post elsewhere."
After finishing his speech, Wang Yuan sat down and began writing a letter to Su Bai.
Upon hearing this, Su Bai looked puzzled. "Chief Steward, could it be that because I killed that Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator, there is some trouble coming my way? Isn't it only right and proper to exterminate Demon Cultivator within the Within Great Qian?"
Wang Yuan had already written the Letter of Introduction Letter of Introduction left his Spiritual Power imprint on it.
He then handed the Letter of Introduction to Su Bai.
"Take this letter to the Night Watcher Stronghold in Cloud City, and you will find out the answer to everything," Wang Yuan said.
He simply couldn't bring himself to tell the truth to a passionate Human Race Cultivator like Su Bai.
She didn't want to personally expose her hypocritical side in front of Su Bai.
In the future, when Su Bai also enters this melting pot, he will naturally understand his current predicament.
Su Bai accepted the Letter of Introduction. "Chief Steward, do I really have to leave Ning City now? Is there some powerful force behind that Demon Cultivator that might persecute you?"
Wang Yuan waved his hand. "It's alright, I can handle the rest."
"Go ahead. With your Combat Power, you might even surpass me in the future."
"You are now Nascent Soul Cultivator. In the future, when you see me, just call me Wang Yuan," Wang Yuan said.
At this moment, Wang Yuan had completely forgotten Su Bai's background as a hermit.
Su Bai's actions today have earned Wang Yuan's Su Bai.
Upon hearing this, Su Bai nodded slightly. "If the Chief Steward ever needs anything in the future, please come to me at any time."
"Thank you for your care over the past month. I'll take my leave now."
Su Bai cupped his hands in greeting. Wang Yuan was indeed a decent Human Race Cultivator from the Great Qian Dynasty. Having roamed the Demon Star Sea for a long time, Su Bai acknowledged Wang Yuan's Daoist potential.
However, having achieved his goal and obtained the Letter of Introduction, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
Su Bai rose into the Sky-Flying and disappeared into the night sky.
Wang Yuan watched Su Bai leave and sighed softly.
He then returned to his Secret Chamber, activated his Communication Artifact, and began contacting his superiors...
How to describe what happened today is really a headache.
A moment later, he finally contacted his superior, the Night Envoy — Po Jun.
"What is it? How are the offerings being prepared?" Po Jun asked, his first concern being the offerings.
"The offerings are already prepared, and we should be able to achieve our goal before the deadline," Wang Yuan replied.
On the other end of the Communication Artifact, Po Jun's brow furrowed slightly. "Remove the word 'should' from my name."
"Yes... Night Envoy, there's actually another matter I wanted to discuss with you today," Wang Yuan said, taking a slight breath.
Po Jun replied, "What is it? Spit it out. Why have you become so indecisive after staying in Tribute City for a few years?"
"When he first came under my supervision, he wasn't like this at all."
Wang Yuan considered for a moment before speaking, "Night Envoy, two of those Blood Food Demon Cultivator in Ning City were killed today by one of my Night Watcher. One of them was the son of the Nine Tails, and the other was a Nascent Soul Realm subordinate of the Nine Tails Fox."
"The Nine Tails violated the Tribute City Rules by openly devouring people. One of my Night Watcher was quite capable; he found and killed him. Afterward, the Nine Tails ' Nascent Soul Realm Under His Command tried to take him away, but my Night Watcher Ning Yu broke through during the Combat, advanced to the Nascent Soul, and killed the fiend..."
"Currently, Nine Tails ' other two subordinates in Ning City have returned to the Buddhist Kingdom to report to Nine Tails."
"I'm worried that the Nine Tails might make a move, so I request the Night Envoy's help in mediating the situation."
The voice on the other end of the Communication Artifact paused slightly.
After a moment, Po Jun spoke up, "What can I say to you, Wang Yuan? You've encountered so many unexpected problems even while controlling a small Tribute City."
"Your subordinate who broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, Ning Yu? Where is he now?"
Wang Yuan said, "I have already sent someone to report to Cloud City where you are."
"This young man possesses Sword Dao Talent. He is a wandering swordsman, wielding Five-colored Sword Light with unparalleled skill. Even I cannot discern his true abilities. He is a remarkable talent, and I wish to protect him."
The Communication Artifact remained silent for a long time.
"You... never mind, I'll go sound out for you first."
"That Nine Tails fox is so petty."
"Be careful these next few days. If things don't look right, evacuate immediately. I'll send someone to Ning City right away."
Po Jun wasn't entirely on the side of the Demon Race; at the crucial moment, he unconditionally stood by Wang Yuan's side.
Wang Yuan cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Cloud City: "I'm sorry to trouble Night Envoy."
Several days later.
Su Bai controlled the timing of the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator's Escape Technique and appeared in Cloud City Yan State Great Qian, Daqian!
Cloud City is the largest city in the southwest of Yan State.
Geographically, it is located at the rear center of five border Tribute City.
This is the true border between the Great Qian Dynasty and the Demon Kingdom in the southwest.
Su Bai Spiritual Sense Unleashed quickly locate the Night Watcher Stronghold in Cloud City!
In the West City, in front of a heavily guarded Manor with city walls.
Su Bai darted to this spot.
"Ning City, Ning Yu, have come to participate in the Night Watcher Entrance Examination." Su Bai cupped his hands and addressed the gatekeeper Cultivator at the Stronghold.
Su Bai Night Watcher Uniform. After confirming Su Bai 'Su Bai identity, the Cultivator of the Stronghold led him to a small hall.
Su Bai waited quietly in the small hall.
Before long, a figure, enveloped in Law Power, swept over.
The newcomer, a cultivator at the Early Deity Transformation, was none other than Po Jun, one of the Night Envoy of Cloud City!
Su Bai tried his best to conceal his Primordial Spirit and Law Power power, so that the newcomer would not discover his true realm.
"So you are Ning Yu?" Po Jun looked Su Bai up and down and slowly asked.
Su Bai had heard this beast's voice before when he was eavesdropping on Wang Yuan's Communication Artifact.
He naturally recognized that the Nascent Spirit Transformation before him was Night Envoy Po Jun, who was also Wang Yuan's superior.
Su Bai thought to himself, "Wang Yuan must have contacted Po Jun beforehand."
Su Bai bowed respectfully and said, "This subordinate is indeed Ning Yu. This is Letter of Introduction from the Chief Steward of Ning City, which I have entrusted to deliver to Cloud City."
Su Bai cupped his hands and handed over the Envelope.
Po Jun waved his hand, took the letter, glanced at it casually, and then used his Law Power to obliterate it into nothingness.
Looking at Su Bai's righteous and awe-inspiring face, Po Jun had a headache. This kid still didn't know the inside story, and today he had to play the villain again for 'enlightenment'.
"I am the Night Envoy, Po Jun."
"Aren't you wondering why Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator appeared in Ning City three days ago?"
Su Bai nodded naturally. "The Night Envoy is right. It's rather blatant for Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator to appear in the Great Qian Realm..."
Po Jun spoke up, "Actually, there are more than ten Demon Cultivator in Ning City who can legally eat people."
"What?" Su Bai was shocked.
Po Jun stood up and said in a deep voice, "Do you know why the rampant Demon across the Nine Prefectures disappeared so quickly after the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty?"
This is because of the existence of the Tribute City System.
"What is meant by 'Tribute City '...?"
"The Tribute City' is a place legally provided to Demon Cultivator and nobles for cannibalism. In exchange, Demon Cultivator are not allowed to set foot in the interior of the Great Qian Dynasty at will."
"Ning City is one of the Tribute City of Yan State."
"In other words, the two Demon Cultivator you killed were both powerful Demon Cultivator who were legally allowed to eat people within the Tribute City."
Su Bai feigned astonishment, "This... how is this possible? Our Great Qian Kingdom is so prosperous, why should we compromise with Demon Cultivator..."
Po Jun tossed out a Jade Slip slip and then a Storage Bag.
"I know it's hard for you to accept right now, but this is a hurdle that every Nascent Soul Cultivator in the Night Watcher must overcome."
"The Jade Slip contains detailed information; it must not be divulged. Only high-ranking officials like us are qualified to know about the Tribute City System."
"Furthermore, you performed well this time and have passed the Night Watcher's assessment. Your Storage Bag contains a new uniform, Token, and Communication Artifact representing your status, as well as a year's Salary Spirit Pills."
Once Night Watcher reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, their Salary is paid annually.
After a pause, Po Jun said, "You should rest in Cloud City for a few days, and I'll arrange a new position for you."
Su Bai still looked shocked, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture. "This... this subordinate understands..."
