Outside Four Sages City stood enormous City Walls and True Lord palaces, one after another.
Like armored soldiers atop the city gates, they guarded each gateway.
Yet within Four Sages City, streets crisscrossed and buildings sprawled in every direction, forming what looked like a small marketplace once more.
Unlike the previous Demon Subduing City, everyone had come from the Righteous Path Sect and interacted often in ordinary times. With the demonic sects on the verge of breaching the pass, naturally no one had the mind to run any business. Most merely calculated how to exchange for treasures from the Righteous Path Sect.
But this was Four Sages City, with no fewer than four Divine Lords stationed here. Even if every Divine Lord from the demonic sects came, they might not be able to breach the pass.
Once the cultivators relaxed, they had more choices in treasures and cultivation arts. Some even exchanged for Spirit Stones, intending to trade for spirit mountains in Xiao Mountain Prefecture and establish sects of their own. After all, Xiao Mountain Prefecture and Wang Qing Prefecture had been eighty percent overrun, and countless sects and cultivation families had perished, leaving many spirit mountains vacant.
Over time, a marketplace gradually took shape.
The gains from killing demonic cultivators, along with transactions involving Spirit Talismans and Dharma Artifacts, were all traded in the marketplace.
It was only because today was the Boundary Gate Grand Competition, and many had gone near the Boundary Gate, that Four Sages City was somewhat quieter.
Still, quite a few Qi Refinement cultivators walked through the city.
At the center of the city stood four more palaces. These were not the six-story palace towers Ye Jingcheng had imagined, but four aerial palaces, like floating islands suspended above the center of Four Sages City.
