Under Gu Qingchen's lead, Chen Wen and the others all entered the Outer City.
The Outer City did not feel very different from the earth city outside: the same culture, the same style of dress.
The only difference was the density of spiritual energy within the city.
One could put it this way: the concentration of spiritual energy here was more than three times that of the outside.
With that, they could somewhat understand why the disciples of the Outer City had better foundations and attainments than the disciples outside.
So the greatest reason had been here all along.
"This way."
Gu Qingchen beckoned again and led Chen Wen and the others over.
Before long, they arrived at a mountain peak.
Gu Qingchen turned to look at everyone and said, "This will be your residence. For the next three days, you may all stay here."
"Of course, if you wish, you may also stroll around the city."
"But I'll say the ugly words first. Whether you have personal grudges or grievances, or feuds with people from outside..."
"During the Battle of Ascension City, you must all obey the rules. I do not want to see anyone make a move. Understood?"
"Understood."
Everyone immediately answered in unison.
Gu Qingchen nodded, then said, "One more thing: you don't need to fear being targeted by other powers."
"At least during the Battle of Ascension City, no one will dare harm you."
As he spoke, he waved his hand casually. "All right. You may go find your residences on your own."
"Let's go."
Ye Zuchen spoke to Chen Wen.
"All right."
Chen Wen did not refuse.
As far as he was concerned, he did not mind being together with these people.
After a while, they all found a place to stay and settled down.
