One might have thought that defeating Qian Hao, who had Gang Qi Crystallization, with a single domain attack was already impressive, but who could have imagined he was powerful to such an extent.
The formidable enemy that not even the young miss could defeat had been forcefully battered to near death by him!
Even though this couldn’t prove his strength surpassed the miss or the young master, it was sufficient to illustrate his extreme destructive power at a certain point, which was unbelievably strong.
At the instant that the seven-colored light appeared, Treya’s Spirit Perception vanished into thin air, leaving her only to feel a kind of aesthetic pleasure…
As for the other cargo transporters inside the vehicle protected by Treya, they had no particular opinion.
The gap in strength was too vast; if even the aftermath could blow them away, what more was there to know?
Being strong was what mattered…
The journey that followed was undoubtedly much smoother, but the road conditions were poor and the vehicle’s speed was very slow, taking five to six hours to cover a little over two hundred kilometers.
They had set out early in the morning and barely arrived in the afternoon…
…
“Is this the State Capital?
This…, are they directly bordering the gray mist?”
Getting off the armored vehicle to undergo the city entry inspection, Tao Yu also saw the scene ahead.

There was no city wall; instead, a spacious river barred the way in front of them.
The water didn’t seem to flow rapidly, yet the sight of this river brought a faint sense of security, apparently having a blocking effect against the gray mist.
The concentration of gray mist grew thicker near and beyond the river, making a stark contrast.
Across the approximately forty-meter-wide moat, there were drawbridges raised high on both sides, seemingly keeping the bridge surface up unless one cleared the inspection.
Looking further, the opposite bank housed some old buildings that all seemed to have some historical feel, similar to the old, dilapidated small complexes within city villages.
Yet, compared with the makeshift structures in the outer areas of Starshine City, they appeared much more standardized.
Considering the structure of Starshine City, the area just across the river should also be similar to an outer city area.
It’s just that White Star City in Baixing State had a moat that could resist the gray mist’s monsters, making their outer city much more stable and peaceful.
Outside the entry bridge, there were also two other convoys.
They might be from neighboring cities, as they all did not wish to spend the night in the gray mist, so arriving in the afternoon was actually normal.
However, those two convoys didn’t have such heavily armored vehicles; one side had three military jeeps similar to Humvees with machine guns mounted on them, while the other side had several uniform pickup trucks.
All vehicles bore signs of welding and steel plates, all looking somewhat heavy, also carrying some foul-smelling bloodstains.
Although the people from both convoys looked burly and fierce, they all shrank back in the presence of Tao Yu’s group.
Clearly arriving later than Tao Yu’s team, they still made way and allowed Tao Yu’s group to undergo the inspection first.
Perhaps they didn’t recognize the Suns, but at the very least, they were able to distinguish the disparity in the vehicles.
Many looked at the armored vehicle, dented by Tao Yu but since patched up, with faces of uncertainty, wondering what Tao Yu and his group had encountered.
“Our Baixing State’s city network is fairly complete; usually, one day’s journey is enough to reach the next city.
However, our connection to other states is now only close with Tian Nan State.

Through Star South City, one can reach the northern cities of Tian Nan State within a day.
For other states, one would have to spend the night in the gray mist, which significantly increases the danger.”
Sun Shiqing whispered to Tao Yu, informing him about some of the circumstances.
“Right now, we’re mainly waiting for them to inspect for Heretic God Followers; it won’t take long.”
“Is it easy to inspect for Heretic God Followers?”
“Those deeply contaminated are easy to detect; surface-level contamination, not so much, but that’s about the best we can do.”
Sun Shiqing’s words made Tao Yu nod in agreement.
The outer city area of Starshine was almost defenseless, while White Star City was much more formal.
The inspection was straightforward: they had a kind of searchlight that, when shone on the contaminated blood on the armored vehicle, would turn blue.
Presumably the principle was similar for detecting Heretic God Followers.
Members of the other convoys who had stains of contaminated blood on them were also required to take off or wash their clothes clean.
Tao Yu had some recollection of such lights; there were quite a few at the gates of Starshine’s Inner City Area.
Their inspection was rather thorough.
After shining the light on a person and finding no issue, they mainly checked inside the vehicles, underneath, the engine compartment, and even the fuel tank was not overlooked.
Behind every bizarre behavior there was surely a compelling reason; it’s possible that Heretic God Followers had previously sneaked into the city hiding inside a fuel tank.
“Welcome to White Star City.
Here are your temporary passes.
You must go to the office for renewal the day before they expire, or you will face trouble.”
After completing the inspection, the security officer handed them each a card.
It was a hard paper card stamped with a date, likely a standard stamped item, which authorized a stay of one month.
But on the back, it also included methods of obtaining long-term residency in White Star City.
Tao Yu glanced over it, and gaining residency actually seemed fairly straightforward.
After all, in this world, human beings were a resource in themselves.
Anybody who could traverse the gray mist to come here generally had an easy time settling in.
However, while settling in might be easy, for most newcomers, having a decent life in this unfamiliar environment, relative to their old homes, remained challenging.

The sides of the bridge slowly lowered, and finally, with a ‘duang’, they locked into place.
Continuing in the vehicle, they drove towards the city interior, Tao Yu also opened the firing port to take a look outside.
