The spiritual energy and demonic energy in Xilu are mixed. It took Lingchu and others who had just arrived to adapt to the concealment formation for half a day. At least for now, casting the spell is not so awkward and difficult.
The sky outside the formation also gradually dimmed as time passed.
The Western Continent is not like the Eastern Continent where the sun always shines brightly. When the night rises, the already dark wasteland becomes more and more lonely.
Just when the night was getting darker, on the previously deserted hillside, one or two figures would appear and appear from time to time, and then they would disappear into the lonely night and gradually disappear.
Lingchu went to the Nightless City alone. By the time Lingchu set off, the sky had begun to turn a little yellow, and it was close to the rising sun.
The first to set off were the monks from Jianzhai and Chiyang Dao Sect, and they were also the largest group of people. They went directly to the city that never sleeps, pretending to be a traveling merchant team from the Western Continent.
The monks of Jianzhai and Chiyang Dao Sect, one is good at fighting, and the other is because of the strange fire, so they are the forerunners. If something happens, it is best to leave the Sleepless City as soon as possible.
The people behind were either traveling in small groups or alone, entering the city that never sleeps little by little at different times.
As for the reason for going to the City that never sleeps, it is easy to handle, and it is also one of the reasons why everyone chooses the City that never sleeps.
For a month every year, the City that never sleeps stays up all night, and thousands of lights stretch like dragons, decorating the entire City that never sleeps. During this period, all merchants in the City that never sleeps stay open at night, the city lord's palace does not collect taxes, and merchant prices are halved, and the lights are bright. Night life.
Therefore, during this time every year, many demons come to the Nightless City to participate in this grand event.
The most famous one is undoubtedly a lamp hanging high in the Lord's Mansion of the Evernight City, called the Tongxian Lamp.
According to rumors, as long as one is illuminated by this immortal lamp, one can reach immortality all the way without any worries.
And this fairy lantern is only displayed in the Evernight City during the annual Ten Thousand Lanterns Festival. The demons who win the most lanterns can go to the city lord's mansion to shine on this magical lantern that can guide people to immortality.
Although the demon race and the human race are different, the demon cultivator and the Taoist cultivator have the same goal, to become an immortal and become an ancestor, and to ascend to the upper world.
It's just a human fairy and a demon fairy.
And this month is the time when the Nightless City holds the Lantern Festival, so naturally there are many demonic cultivators rushing to the Nightless City.
But this so-called immortal lamp can only work on monks under Nascent Soul. Therefore, this immortal lamp can still stay safely in the hands of the city lord of the Nightless City.
Lingchu left the formation and fled in the direction of the city that never sleeps. From a distance, he saw a city reflected in the bright lights. He was so close that he could even hear faint music.
The magic sound is lingering, lingering and pathos, just like the flowers on the banks of Sanchuan River and the tea flowers in the quiet valleys. The sound reaches the ears and attracts the heartstrings. In a trance, it feels like there is an enchanting dancer dancing in front of you.
The demonic sound is endless, but Lingchu's mind is very clear. This demonic music is quite effective for low-level monks, but it has no great effect on high-level monks like Lingchu.
After listening to it, I just sighed, "It's not bad, I can't confuse you at all."
Arriving at the foot of the Evernight City, even on the towering city walls, various strange-shaped lanterns were hung, facing the wind without swaying. The candlelight was dim, but the rows of faint green vaguely illuminated the stone plaque of the Evernight City. It does have a bit of a Huangquan Road attitude.
Even the demon cultivator on duty at the door had a lazy look on his face. When he saw Lingchu arriving, the demon cultivator on duty suddenly brightened up and looked up and down without any hesitation. Then the two demon cultivators with purple skin suddenly shouted. With a scream, he took a few steps back and looked at each other in confusion, but he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Lingchu.
They knew that they had met a strong person.
The Demon Clan respects the strong, and this is manifested in the cannibalism of the weak. In the Demon Clan, killing is also prohibited in the city, but fighting is never prohibited.
Lingchu's cultivation level was higher than that of the two demon cultivators on duty. As long as he didn't kill the two of them, cutting off his hands and stamping on his feet was nothing.
Therefore, the demon cultivator on duty in the Nightless City had no intention of raising an army to hold him accountable. Instead, he welcomed Lingchu into the Nightless City with a flattering smile and gave him the pass without even questioning him.
As expected, the guards in the Nightless City were very lax.
Lingchu entered the city that never sleeps smoothly and followed the flow of people all the way to the city.
Fortunately, the lights in the Evernight City were not the dim green at the city gate, but the normal warm yellow. Lingchu did not doubt that he was going to the ghost clan instead of the demon clan.
In the city, most of the demons were dressed in gold and silver, with bright gems of various colors. Most of the female demons were wrapped in gauze skirts, with their breasts half exposed, their long legs and slender waists, and they were the color of snow.
Among the demons wandering around on the road, there were male demons blocking two or three female demons, some female demons hugging each other, and even single demons walking among them with indifferent expressions.
The demons setting up stalls on both sides did not shout to attract customers like the people in the East Continent, and were more silent.
The whole street was filled with music and songs coming from the surrounding merchants, as well as the teasing laughter of the demons on the road.
A map of the city that never sleeps appeared in Lingchu's mind. He seemed to be wandering around casually, buying some beautiful and unique gems, gold ornaments, and feather stones from time to time, and then he came to a brightly lit inn.
The guest never returns.
The big characters of flying dragons and phoenixes are written in gold foil on the black plaque. Skull-shaped lanterns hang on both sides. The lights inside are bright, which takes away a bit of the gloomy feeling of the skeletons.
It's just that the name is really interesting.
Lingchu raised his eyes to look at the plaque, then stepped in.
As soon as the guest entered the room, a sense of warmth came with a strong aroma. The decorations all over the room were in dazzling gold and silver colors. Many demons were sitting on the floor. Wine jars were rolling everywhere, and the aroma of the wine was mixed with it. The unknown strong fragrance is very choking.
Lingchu almost couldn't hold back the momentary change in his face, but he quickly reacted and closed off his sense of smell.
The Western Continent has a mixture of bitter cold and scorching heat, and the sky is dark all year round. Therefore, the demons prefer bright and shining things, and also like spirits and spices.
Lingchu had read these materials before coming to Xilu, but there was still a big difference between what he had read and what he had actually experienced.
There was no waiter in the store to greet him, and the boss behind the counter was lying casually on a rocking chair. When he saw Lingchu come in, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and pointed at the hooks full of keys and piles of keys next to them. Liquor cabinet, "Would you like to drink or stay in a hotel? It's up to you to pay for it."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Lingchu. He yawned and complained, "There are too many people at this time of year. It's really annoying! It's hard to do business."
Well, this was also the first time Lingchu saw a boss who disliked his own business for being too good.
