Death… And Me Chapter 319 - Entering The City

Chapter 319 - Entering The City

The three cultivators in front of them were one realm above them. That would make it impossible for them to attack independently. In fact, they would be the ones in danger since they were all in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Sira looked at them as well before asking.

"Are you all outsiders as well?"

It was then that Xansio, the expert of the Jialin Royal Family, stepped forward. Since the City Entrance was open, he was able to spread his Divine Sense in there. Because of that, he quickly noticed that it was a lively city with many residents. However, there was supposed to not be such a thing as a city in this place. At the same time, he also remembered the records that his Royal Family has.

"I'm Xansio Jialin, representative of the Royal Family. May I ask if these seniors are citizens of Laan City?"

Sira's group was surprised to hear someone mention the name of their city.

"Oh! So you know about us?"

Xansio nodded.

"Yes. Our Jialin Country was founded after Laan City disappeared. Still, our Jialin ancestor knew a few things before coming to this place. He left behind a few records telling us of a city called Laan from thousands of years before he arrived at this place. The calligraphies on these walls are also the same as the ones we have."

Sira became even more excited as he said.

"Good, then come inside as well. We have a lot to discuss, especially about how you guys entered this place."

Darkon and Gila didn't say anything since the elders already requested the outsiders to enter.

Xansio, Tiria, and the rest nodded. In an instant, the Spiritual Pressure over Rean and the others disappeared. Soon after, they went straight to Tiria and Juvian's side. However, they also saw Latalia and Rovan coming. However, seeing Roan nodding his head, they didn't say anything.

As they entered the city, Juvian took the opportunity to send the twins a Spiritual Sense message.

'You guys really found quite an impressive thing. However, we can talk about it another time. What do you know about this place?'

Rean nodded as he explained.

'It goes like this...'

Fortunately, Spiritual Sense messages were instantaneous, so it took only a few seconds for Rean to organize his thoughts before sending Juvian and Tiria a full account of what happened. Of course, he didn't mention anything about Vruve Remnants or things like that.

'So this girl is a descendant of an old citizen. Because of that, her blood was able to open the City Entrance. However, from what you told me, they used that place as trial grounds. Most likely, the maze had run out of Fake Demon Beasts for the tests. That's why cultivators began to disappear in recent years.'

'However, it seems like they still haven't found out that Latalia is a descendant of a banished person. It was then that Sira appeared, and everything changed. We arrived just a few minutes after that.'

Rean nodded. It was an excellent recollection.

Tiria also looked at Latalia before asking.

'What else do you know about this place?'

Latalia shook her head as he replied.

'This is really everything I know. We thought that the city might have people. However, we didn't really believe that. I was really shocked when I saw someone coming at us, especially cultivators this strong.'

Tiria narrowed her eyes. Of course, she wouldn't just believe Latalia's words that easily. However, it was not time to pry further into it.

As soon as they entered the city, they were met with a wave of Spiritual Energy. No, to be more precise, that was the real concentration of Spiritual Energy in the city itself.

'Impressive! The Spiritual Energy here is so concentrated that I feel like I'm cultivating with Rank Three or higher Spirit Stones. This is just the common Spiritual Energy.'

They walked through the streets and saw several citizens looking at them. There were a lot of normal humans, but there were humans with demon beast features as well.

'I guess this explains why the formations they have can transform humans into fake demon beasts. This is a city that has many cultivation techniques that leave Demon Beast features on them.'

'That's not all. Look at their cultivation. Everyone here has higher cultivation that you would encounter in ordinary cities. All the young adults are at least in the Energy Gathering Realm. The older ones are at least in Foundation Establishment.'

'Yes, but their numbers don't seem that high. If you think about the city's size, there are, in fact, only a few people. You guys said that these people from Laan City have been trapped in this city, right? There might be a chance that they had to keep the balance of the population.'

'Yes. Another thing is the buildings. They are all made of the same material as the maze walls. Extremely resistant. At the very least, Rean and I were not able to leave even a dent on it. This means that these buildings have been the same for a very, very long time.'

Finally, Sira and the others arrived at what seemed to be an enormous hall. Sira, Darkon, and Gila paid their respects and quickly brought them inside. Each one of the guards protecting it was at the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, at the very least. If this city was a Sect, it would definitely become the strongest Sect of Jialin.

It was then that they finally saw a few elders waiting for them inside. Some looked like normal humans, while others also had some demon beast features. They seemed to be there to welcome them. However, none of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators felt happy. That's because they couldn't even tell what cultivation they had. That meant that this city had at least a few Saint Realm Experts. Even if you put all of the powers of Jialin together, you wouldn't have this many Saint Realm Experts. That was no good news for any of their sects or the Royal Family.

"So these are the outsiders, huh?"

One of the elders, who seemed to be the leader of the group, then stepped forward.

"Welcome to Laan City. My name is Wario Qualton."
