Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 222 Tianhe City

Looking at the ancient road not far away, the two exchanged a glance, then stepped onto it and walked with the others.

Since it was their first time in the Upper Realm, the two of them couldn't help but curiously observe the passersby around them.

Such behavior naturally attracted the attention of passersby, many of whom cast strange glances at them, some scrutinizing, others simply out of curiosity.

As time passed, the two followed the flow of people along the ancient path, and unknowingly became part of it.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A loud bang and the ground trembled, drawing Yunxi's attention.

It was a giant wolf engulfed in eerie blue flames.

With each step it took, the ground seemed to be squeezed by an invisible force, emitting a tremor.

Of course, this was not the most surprising thing for Yunxi. What truly surprised her was that on the back of this powerful being who seemed to have ignited divine fire, there was actually an old man who was resting with his eyes closed.

The old man was surrounded by a thin layer of mist, making him difficult to see clearly and giving him an air of profound mystery.

Looking at the old man, Shi An couldn't help but become wary.

The upper realm is teeming with powerful beings. As newcomers, they must be extremely careful in their actions, or they may face utter destruction.

But just as he was thinking this, a middle-aged man in a blue robe with a kind face noticed them and took the initiative to greet them: "Young friends, are you new to Tianzhou?"

"Tianzhou?"

Upon hearing the name Tianzhou, Shi An and Yun Xi exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing through their minds.

They never expected that Willow God would send them directly to Tianzhou, the Daozhou where the Celestial Race resides.

Of course, this was only for a moment. Shi An quickly turned to look at the man and clasped his hands in a salute, saying, "Indeed, senior, could you tell us where there are towns or villages nearby so that my wife and I can stay for the time being?"

Seeing Shi An's manner, the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "A polite junior like you is becoming increasingly rare these days."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked into the distance along the ancient road: "This place is called the Wasteland Ancient Road, which is on the outskirts of the Tianhe Plain. As for towns, just follow the ancient road and you will reach Tianhe City."

At this point, the middle-aged man turned around and looked at Shi An again: "Tianhe City is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and it's well-informed, which is perfect for someone like you who's just arrived."

"Thank you for informing me, senior!"

Upon hearing the man's explanation, Shi An first followed his gaze into the distance, and then bowed to him again to express his gratitude.

The middle-aged man simply waved his hand and laughed, "Young friend, there's no need for that. Our meeting is fate."

After saying that, the middle-aged man looked at Yunxi's face, as if he remembered something, and reminded her, "Although Tianhe City is well-informed, there are still some people with ill intentions. If you two encounter trouble in the city, you can go to Juxian Pavilion in the city to find me if you don't mind the trouble."

"Although I, Lin Feng, am not a sect leader, I still have some say in this small corner of Tianhe City."

"Thank you very much, Senior Lin!"

Upon hearing this, Shi An and Yun Xi bowed in thanks again, feeling even more grateful to the middle-aged man named Lin Feng.

Afterwards, the two bid farewell to Lin Feng and headed along the ancient road towards Tianhe City.

Along the way, they saw many strange sights.

In the distance, massive warships occasionally streaked across the sky, their runes flashing, exuding an imposing aura; it was unclear which faction they belonged to. Along the roadside, one could occasionally see some dilapidated ancient ruins, which, though weathered by time, still radiated a mysterious aura, seemingly telling tales of past glory.

Time passed slowly, and they got closer and closer to Tianhe City. The number of pedestrians around them gradually increased, and some simple stalls even appeared on both sides of the ancient road, displaying all kinds of strange items and exuding a mysterious aura.

This made the two of them curious, and they stopped from time to time to look around.

After traveling for a while, a magnificent city finally came into view.

The city towered into the clouds, its walls constructed of massive blue stones, covered with mysterious runes that shimmered faintly in the sunlight.
Above the city gate, a huge plaque is inscribed with the three large, elegant characters "Tianhe City," exuding a majestic aura.

The city gates were wide open, and people were coming and going, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

There were nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes, warriors carrying weapons, and ordinary people in tattered clothes.

The only thing that surprised the two of them was that all of these people possessed cultivation, with the lowest level being a Cave Heaven Realm cultivator.

At the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city held long spears, their sharp eyes scanning everyone entering the city with serious expressions.

However, after their initial surprise, Shi An and his companion calmed down and followed the flow of people slowly toward the city gate. After paying the entrance fee, they finally stepped into Tianhe City.

Upon entering the city, a bustling atmosphere immediately greets you.

Shops lined both sides of the street, and various hawking and shouting sounds rose and fell.

There were vendors selling spiritual herbs and elixirs, all of which emitted a captivating luster and an alluring fragrance; others sold divine weapons, whose blades gleamed with a cold light and emitted sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls from time to time.

In addition, many stalls displayed some strange and unusual items. Although Shi An and Yun Xi did not recognize them, they could sense that they contained something extraordinary.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians and traffic.

The two strolled around for a long time, stopping here and there, before finally stopping in front of an inn called "Yuelai".

Welcome to our shop!

The innkeeper was a slightly overweight middle-aged man. Upon seeing Shi An and his companion arrive, he immediately greeted them with a warm welcome: "Are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

"Please arrange a superior room for us!"

Upon hearing this, Shi An handed him some spirit crystals as he spoke.

As for where the spirit crystals came from, they were naturally inherited from the Purple Spirit True Immortal.

"okay!"

Seeing how generous Shi An was, the innkeeper's smile grew even brighter, and he even personally escorted them to their room.

"Gentlemen, is there anything else you need? Please feel free to ask, and I will do my best to meet your needs."

Seeing the two people looking around the room, the innkeeper did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood respectfully to the side with a fawning smile on his face.

"To be honest, there is something I need to trouble the shopkeeper with."

When asked by the innkeeper, Shi An first glanced at Yun Xi beside him, then turned to the innkeeper and said, "My wife and I are newcomers to this city and are not very familiar with Tianhe City. I wonder if the innkeeper could give us a brief introduction?"
