Chapter 564: Sinful City

Sinful City, located east of the Grand Emperor Country, is the largest ancient city in the Grand Emperor Domain.

Hanging on the ancient city gate was a skull, savage and fierce, a symbol of sin. Above the skull was a scepter, a symbol of judgment!

Above them, the name "Sinful City" was inscribed in Ancient Seal script!

Outside Sinful City stretched a boundless wasteland. For thousands of miles, there was nothing but a scene of desolation!

It was as if this was a land of sin!

Across the wasteland, a bleak wind howled past.

A sky-blotting Great Peng streaked across the sky from the distance, landing outside Sinful City and revealing five figures.

These five were Ye Wushuang, Xiaoxiao, the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc, Dongfang Youdi, and Nanbei!

After leaving the Profound North Realm, Ye Wushuang didn’t head straight for the Celestial Pass, but came to Sinful City instead!

"We’ve arrived at Sinful City!"

Standing on the ancient road, Nanbei looked on with a smile.

"Big Brother, are there a lot of bad guys in Sinful City?"

Xiaoxiao gazed at the savage skull in the distance, then looked up and asked Ye Wushuang.

"Xiaoxiao, don’t be fooled by the name. Although this ancient city is called Sinful City, there is no fighting or slaughter within its walls, only peaceful trade."

Nanbei explained.

In a distant era, Sinful City had a more pleasant name: Judgement Holy City!

Within Sinful City, the City Lord’s Mansion is an overlord-level power, comparable to the likes of the Grand Emperor Country. Therefore, no one dares to cause trouble inside.

Even a minor scuffle would result in judgment!

Thus, even the most vicious and desperate criminals have to behave themselves here.

However, for these very reasons, it has also become a holy land in the hearts of Cultivators fleeing their enemies.

As long as they step foot into Sinful City, their enemies cannot kill them within its walls.

’Sinful City!’

Ye Wushuang understood Nanbei’s explanation.

However, he didn’t let his guard down in the slightest.

Sinful City might be safe and free of conflict, but for that very reason, it was a chaotic mix of all sorts of people, good and bad alike.

"Entry and exit to this ancient city are unrestricted, making it even freer once inside. Let’s go." Nanbei smiled faintly. He had been to Sinful City once before, so he knew a few things.

Ye Wushuang nodded, took Xiaoxiao’s hand, and walked forward.

BOOM!

From the massive gatehouse, three men suddenly rushed out, blocking Ye Wushuang’s path.

One had sinister eyes, sharp and intimidating like a hawk’s; another was a middle-aged man with a fleshy, brutal face; and the last was a youth with effeminate features and a wicked smile playing on his lips!

The auras of the three were grim and tinged with a hint of bloodlust. A single glance told you they were bad news!

"Is there a problem?"

Ye Wushuang’s gaze darkened as he stared coldly at the three men.

"To enter Sinful City, each person must pay ten thousand Spirit Stones as an entry fee and a security fee for Sinful City. For the five of you, that’s fifty thousand total!"

The middle-aged man with the fleshy face stared fiercely at Ye Wushuang, his gaze then shifting to Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao flinched, having never seen such a vicious-looking person before, and clutched tightly to Ye Wushuang’s hand.

"Sinful City is a city of freedom, with unrestricted entry and exit. Since when do you need to collect Spirit Stones?"

Nanbei’s brow furrowed.

"I say you pay, so you pay. Cut the crap."

The middle-aged man barked, releasing a cold, ferocious aura!

A cold glint appeared in Ye Wushuang’s narrowed eyes. ’These three seem to think we’re easy targets. Do they really think we’re pushovers?’

"And if I refuse to pay?"

Ye Wushuang uttered the words coldly, and the three men instantly stiffened.

"Refuse to pay!"

The youth with the sinister eyes sneered as his gaze swept over the group of five. The strongest among them was only at the Yang Destruction Level. ’Refuse to pay?’ he thought. ’I really don’t know where this guy gets his confidence!’

The three of them were all First Layer Profound Level masters. In their eyes, Ye Wushuang’s group was the easiest target.

The three were guards of Sinful City and knew that many people who came here were desperate to get inside to escape enemies and the like.

So, taking advantage of this desperation, the trio had started a racket of extorting treasures from people entering the city!

"You can choose not to pay, but that also means you choose your death!"

The youth with the wicked smile crossed his arms, coolly uttering those two words.

"Don’t pay... death?"

Ye Wushuang muttered.

"Heh heh, I guess we won’t be paying!" Dongfang Youdi chuckled, his charming eyes narrowing to slits as he gave the three a wicked smile, as if to say, ’You guys are finished.’

The trio was unconcerned. They were at the Profound Level, more than enough to deal with this group!

"I’ll give you three breaths’ time to consider. Fifty thousand Spirit Stones for five lives. It’s a bargain. Once you’re dead, you have nothing."

The youth with the sinister eyes reminded them with a sneer, also giving a warning: if they didn’t pay up, they would be killed!

"Once you’re dead, you really do have nothing."

Ye Wushuang nodded in agreement.

"Have you thought it over?"

The middle-aged man with the fleshy face gave a disdainful smile and held out a hand.

"Yes, I’ve thought it over!"

Ye Wushuang looked up, a sudden smile blooming on his face, which made the fleshy-faced man pause in surprise!

"Scram!"

His smile vanished, replaced by a single, ice-cold word that erupted with sharp, domineering power, exploding like a clap of Celestial Thunder that made the middle-aged man’s eardrums ache.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

His body stumbled back several steps before he could regain his footing!

Then, Ye Wushuang took Xiaoxiao’s hand and started walking forward again. ’If I want to enter, who can possibly stop me?’

"You’re courting death!"

The middle-aged man’s gaze was dark. The veins on his arm bulged as a dark red power swirled around it. He threw a punch from a distance, and the phantom of a blood crocodile materialized, charging toward Ye Wushuang.

BOOM!

In an instant, Nanbei stepped forward, rushing out like a gust of wind.

CLANG!

A massive wind blade, like an Unparalleled Divine Saber, slashed out.

Before the middle-aged man’s despairing eyes, the wind blade severed his arm and landed on his neck.

A blood-stained head flew into the air.

"Swift Light Sword!"

The youth with the sinister eyes standing nearby narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them. He instantly drew a Treasure Sword and thrust it toward Nanbei.

In that moment, the Sword Intent emanating from the youth intensified. The Sword Light in his hand condensed into a tiny sliver of light, swift and dazzling like a flash of lightning!

"Scram!"

Ye Wushuang took a step forward. With a CLANG, his Ancient Sword sang as it left its sheath!

In an instant, his sword was far more dazzling and brilliant, its killing intent more astonishing, completely overwhelming the so-called Swift Light Sword!

CLANG!

The Ancient Sword returned to its sheath. A deadly silence lingered in the air. The sinister youth was already sprawled on the ground, a gash torn open in his throat from which blood gushed, staining the earth.

"You can scram too!"

The Heavenly Concealing Hand slapped toward the other youth, the one with the wicked smile.

Still in shock, the youth was sent flying by the slap. His body landed in the distance without a sound!

"Your sword... so fast. His was nothing compared to yours!"

Nanbei walked up to Ye Wushuang and glanced at the sinister youth sprawled on the ground, adding a comment.

Ye Wushuang nodded, not denying it.

"Let’s go."

Taking Xiaoxiao’s hand, Ye Wushuang stepped into Sinful City.

"Heh heh, failed robbers should get robbed in turn. Let’s see what treasures you guys were hiding."

Dongfang Youdi gloated with a laugh, quickly looting the corpses in front of him before chasing after Ye Wushuang.

"Wait for this young master!"

Behind them, the youth with the wicked smile suddenly scrambled to his feet, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth!

’What a powerful person. His sword is so fast!’

The youth stared at the departing figure, his heart reeling from shock, while a cold, sinister glint flickered in his eyes!

’So he’s entered Sinful City!’

He gave a cold, wicked smile and also walked into Sinful City.
