Stepping out of the Gate of Undead, Huo Yuhao found himself in a palace hall. Several figures quickly gathered around him. Upon seeing him, they hurriedly bowed and saluted. "Greetings, my lord."
Huo Yuhao swept his gaze over them and said calmly, "I came to Heaven Dou City to handle something. There's no need to be nervous."
These people had been sent by the Heaven Soul Emperor to guard the Gate of Undead. When they noticed the disturbance, they had assumed something had happened and were preparing to report it to the emperor. Hearing Huo Yuhao say this, they immediately relaxed.
After leaving the palace, Huo Yuhao headed straight into Heaven Dou City.
As one of the giant cities second only to Mingdu, Heaven Dou City had an enormous population. Perhaps because people could now cultivate, the vitality on their faces was especially obvious.
He could even see many newly opened forging shops recruiting apprentices. Clearly, mecha and Battle Armor theory had given this industry a new lease on life.
After winding through the streets and alleys, Huo Yuhao arrived at the stronghold where Ning Tian and the others were stationed.
It was a church-like building. Its grounds were not especially large, but its exterior was extraordinarily luxurious. Sunlight spilled over it, causing it to glimmer faintly.
People could be seen entering and leaving at all times. Without a doubt, they were all believers of the Sun God Cult.
Following them inside, Huo Yuhao walked roughly a hundred paces before seeing a Divine Statue standing in the center of the hall. As before, faint golden light circulated around it, making its features impossible to discern.
These believers usually offered a simple bow as a sign of respect before leaving.
Huo Yuhao had never forced his believers to kowtow three times
