# Chapter 2133: Entering the City
Shen Xiao Continent, the center of the Nine Heavens, bordering eight continents. How vast the land truly is is difficult to calculate, and how many living beings exist is even more terrifyingly unknown.
And Shen Xiao City, being the central region of this continent, one can imagine what a fearsome place Shen Xiao City must be. Without a doubt, it is a gathering place for the strong, especially as the Nine Heavens Meeting approaches. No one knows how many people have descended upon the twelve domains of Shen Xiao City.
Outside the Eastern Domain of Shen Xiao City, figures tore through the void, some riding demon beasts, some riding the wind, some strolling on clouds. Some hurried along, some walked leisurely, some traveled alone, and some came in groups. All kinds of people, as if they would never stop.
At this moment, on the ground beside a lake, a man looked up at the sky, watching the coming and going crowds, feeling the endless flow of people. This situation had been going on for a long time, continuing until today. Whether day or night, people kept arriving. In recent days, the number of people arriving in the twelve domains of Shen Xiao City was absolutely a terrifying figure. With such a mix of dragons and fish, the twelve domains of Shen Xiao City had recently simultaneously announced a message: those below the Martial Emperor realm were not allowed to step into the twelve domains of Shen Xiao City. At the same time, anyone entering the city had to pass a small test to be allowed in, in order to eliminate a portion of martial cultivators. Otherwise, the people of Shen Xiao City feared the entire city would be burst at the seams.
Every century, this grand event was always so prosperous. Every time this period arrived, martial artists were filled with infinite longing and surging emotions. This was the truly exciting world of martial arts, where the strong gathered, assembling the geniuses of the Nine Heavens in the twelve domains of Shen Xiao. What a grand event, once every hundred years.
"So lively," an old man murmured as he looked at this grand scene. He was a peak Martial Emperor figure, yet here he felt exceptionally small. Those figures strolling through the void—if you picked any one of them, they would be peak Martial Emperor figures, or even Emperor realm experts.
Too many strong individuals. The experts of the entire Nine Heavens had all gathered here.
"Grandfather, so many powerful people," a young girl at the Martial Emperor realm said weakly beside the old man. In her hometown, she was also a highly talented figure, called a genius by many. They had traveled for an entire year to get here, and she found that anyone here who released their aura made her feel fear.
"Mm, my child, this is not our small hometown city. Not only have the experts of Shen Xiao Continent arrived, but the geniuses of the entire Nine Heavens Continent have also come. From now on, we must act with restraint and not get into conflicts with others," the old man instructed. In a place like this, if he offended someone, he feared he wouldn't even know how he died.
"Don't worry, Grandfather. Who would I dare to offend?" the young girl stuck out her tongue and said softly.
"People like you, coming to Shen Xiao City to embarrass yourselves," five young men strolled over and mocked them. The old man and the young girl turned their heads, their expressions stiffening. They hadn't provoked anyone by speaking, yet someone was looking for trouble. Naturally, they were angry, but they could only swallow their anger.
"My child, let's go." The old man pulled the young girl aside, not wanting to bother with them.
"Go? This young girl is quite pretty. Let me protect her," one young man said with a smile, then lunged forward. The other four also flickered, surrounding the old man. They had noticed the pretty girl earlier and heard their conversation. How could they not understand they had encountered people from a small place? They planned to capture the pretty girl as a cauldron for cultivation.
Of course, what happened here was just a small microcosm of the people coming to the twelve domains of the Nine Heavens. Many kept a low profile to avoid trouble, while others sought trouble. All kinds of people existed. Many things, even if you wanted to avoid them, you couldn't.
With many people came many disputes, and many restless hearts.
Of course, there were definitely no shortage of troublemakers.
It seemed like a sword flew in from beyond the heavens. Instantly, the young man charging forward was torn apart by the sword light. In the void, only the powerful sword intent lingered.
This sudden scene stunned the few sinister young men. They abruptly turned around and saw a young man their age standing on a demon beast, slowly approaching. Sword intent emanated from him. The sword just now had been struck by him.
Sword lights seemed to descend from the heavens, as if to freeze time itself. Soon, all the young men vanished under the sword light. They were unlucky, having encountered someone who didn't know how to keep a low profile. Moreover, although he was cold and ruthless in killing, he still had a trace of justice.
Lin Feng sometimes thought that perhaps because he had killed so many people, he had retained a shred of such justice.
In this cruel world, as long as one climbed the path of the strong, whose hands weren't stained with blood? Lin Feng was no exception. Just now, for a shred of justice, he had killed a few more people.
The old man and the young girl looked at Lin Feng. Handsome features, deep pupils, standing on a flame lion that looked especially ferocious. This flame lion bore some resemblance to Qiongqi, so Lin Feng had captured it in the demon beast mountain range to serve as his mount. The aura of this flame lion made the old man feel a faint trace of fear.
"What level of demon beast is this?" the old man wondered inwardly, then looked at Lin Feng and bowed slightly. "Thank you, senior, for saving us."
In his eyes, this young man must be a disciple of a great family—strong in strength, excellent talent, possessing a powerful mount. A few sword lights had killed several experts of the same realm as him. They simply weren't on the same level.
The young girl, however, blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at Lin Feng. "So powerful."
"It was nothing," Lin Feng said with a smile. His handsome face appeared even more radiant, making the old man sigh inwardly. No wonder this young man was so formidable. His mindset was on a completely different level from those few just now. Although great families often produced wastrels, they also frequently produced extraordinary figures. He still firmly believed Lin Feng was from a great family.
"It was nothing to you, but it saved the lives of us grandparents," the old man said sincerely. He knew very well that if the young man hadn't acted, his granddaughter's fate would have been unpredictable, but certainly tragic. And he himself would have died without a doubt.
"Who could blame me for happening to witness it?" Lin Feng smiled. "Ahead should be the entrance to the Eastern Domain of the twelve domains of Shen Xiao, right?"
"Mm, it should be close," the old man nodded slightly.
"Come on up." Lin Feng seemed in a good mood and spoke with a smile. The old man was stunned for a moment, but the young girl excitedly stepped onto Lin Feng's mount, sweetly smiling. "Thank you, big brother."
"Thank you, senior. My child is mischievous; please don't mind her," the old man maintained a respectful address toward Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng's realm was similar to his, he definitely couldn't withstand a single sword strike from Lin Feng. So he didn't dare to casually call him "big brother" like the young girl, but instead maintained a certain restraint.
"It's fine. Just call me Lin Feng. This girl is well-behaved. I'm a few years older, so calling me big brother is fine," Lin Feng said gently, making the young girl stick out her tongue at the old man. The old man also smiled and stepped onto the flame lion. He wasn't worried that Lin Feng had any ulterior motives. If Lin Feng wanted to do something to them with his strength, would he need to use tricks? So he completely trusted the sincerity of the young man before him.
The flame lion moved forward, exuding demonic aura. Occasionally, people in the void cast glances at them, looking at the demon beast with strange expressions. What a powerful demon beast. They thought the same as the old man—this young man was probably from a great family. Otherwise, how could he, at the Martial Emperor realm, have such a powerful mount?
This flame lion was a demon emperor. When Lin Feng captured it, he had put in considerable effort before finally subduing it as his mount. So, the crowd and the old man naturally had that impression.
"Big brother, are you from a city near Shen Xiao City?" The flame lion's body was massive. The three of them standing on the demon emperor's back still felt spacious.
"No, I came from the distant Qing Xiao Continent," Lin Feng replied, making the young girl's beautiful eyes flicker. "So far. Big brother came from another continent. Is Qing Xiao Continent the same as Shen Xiao Continent?"
"The path of martial arts ultimately leads to the same destination. It's just that the martial cultivators of Qing Xiao Continent are relatively more uniform. It definitely doesn't have the hundred schools of thought contending like Shen Xiao Continent, and the average strength isn't as powerful as Shen Xiao Continent."
"As the central continent of the Nine Heavens, Shen Xiao Continent is naturally the most powerful. But big brother coming from Qing Xiao and being this strong must be an extraordinary figure," the young girl said with a smile. They chatted casually as they arrived at the entrance of the Eastern Domain. Everyone flying in the void descended to the ground. At the entrance of the twelve domains of Shen Xiao City, the main city of Shen Xiao Continent, flight was forbidden.
"This is the Eastern Domain. That's the checkpoint gate. Only those who can step through it can truly enter the city. It seems we came a step too late. I don't know if we can get in," the old man said, looking at the only entrance ahead, where a void gate stood. He naturally understood what it was. He saw figures stepping toward it. Many passed through, but quite a few were blocked and couldn't enter the city.
"Let's go. You can do it," Lin Feng said with a smile. The old man nodded. "My child's talent isn't bad. Let me try first. If I can get in, my child definitely can too."
With that, he stepped toward the checkpoint. Unfortunately, he couldn't pass. Returning to his original spot with a look of disappointment, he said, "I didn't expect that after traveling for a year, I can't even enter the city."
"It's okay. We took a look around outside the city. That's also an experience," the young girl comforted him, no longer intending to enter.
"I'll take you in." Lin Feng's aura spread, enveloping the two of them into his martial soul world. Then, a gust of wind swept by, and he and the flame lion charged through the checkpoint, passing through and entering the central city of the Nine Heavens Continent.
Inside the city, the old man and the young girl stood blankly in place. Lin Feng and the flame lion had already gone far away, leaving before they could even react.
PS: My arm was a bit uncomfortable from typing yesterday, so only three chapters today. Four chapters tomorrow. For those still saying they can't find the pictures on WeChat, I'm really worried for you. Reminder: I've posted a total of seven real person pictures.
