Traveling Together

This was also what worried Ning Fa most about leaving this time, so he had not taken Hei Yu with him, instead leaving him behind to continue protecting Cheng Susu.

In the end, he went to see Zheng Xuanyan, Ouyang Zhenhua, True Dragon Jade, and several other sect higher-ups. After making his arrangements, he left the sect silently under cover of night.

More than ten days later, high in the skies over southern Wu Kingdom.

An ice-blue divine spirit bird flew at an unbelievable speed, with Ning Fa, clad in silver armor and a black robe, seated upon its back.

He wore a thoughtful expression as he recalled the intelligence concerning Zhenhai City.

Zhenhai City was an exceptionally rare fourth-grade upper-rank Immortal City in the Cangyuan Cultivation World. It was said to cover an incomparably vast area; a single city occupied a radius of ten thousand li and housed several hundred thousand cultivators year-round.

Its City Lord was even a Peak Mid Nascent Soul powerhouse. Besides him, there were several Nascent Soul Realm Deputy City Lords.

Thus, Zhenhai City was an exceedingly powerful force, perhaps even stronger than Tianyang Sect.

More importantly, Zhenhai City was a neutral Immortal City, situated right at the border between Wu Kingdom and Qiong Kingdom.

Qiong Kingdom belonged to the Demonic Path Alliance, so Zhenhai City could also be seen as a buffer zone between the Demonic Path Alliance and the Yunhuang Alliance.

Over the past thousand years, the two great alliances had generally remained at peace, and Zhenhai City consequently saw an immense flow of people. Countless cultivators came and went each day, and commerce was extraordinarily prosperous.

For instance, the Zhenhai Merchant Guild, regarded as one of the top merchant guilds in the entire Cangyuan Cultivation World, was directly under Zhenhai City's authority.
