The Devilish Immortal-Chapter 336 - Sleepless City

Chapter 336 Sleepless City

In the early morning of the second day, when Lyu Liang finished practicing, Zhao Yunhai happily approached him.

Following White and Wen Xiaojing’s advice, Lyu Liang was wary of this sincere-looking man. He was just being prudent and meant no harm.

“Taoism peer Lyu, will you be going to Heavenly Alliance’s division today?” Zhao Yunhai cupped his fists, took out a blue jade talisman from his arms, and handed it to Lyu Liang, “I know the shopkeeper from Li’s shop. With this token, you can try his exclusive ‘Fairy Wine’!” “That’s one of the best wines. You can only buy it with a token!”

Lyu Liang was stunned and said, “I intend to go there today, but what do you mean by the Sleepless City…”

“Ah, Taoism peer Lyu, don’t you know about Sleepless City?” Zhao Yunhai was dumbfounded.

“Oh?” “Sleepless City is a city that never sleeps!” “Interesting!” White exclaimed in a meaningful way.

“Well, never mind, it’s fine.” Wen Xiaojing’s tone was complicated too. She seemed a little hesitant and expectant at the same time.

Lyu Liang was confused and asked, “I have just arrived at the Heaven Realm and do not know anything about Sleepless City. Please tell me more.”

“Sure!” Zhao Yunhai patted his chest and said, “Sleepless City is a renowned place, even in the Goddess Nyu Wa space…”

In the next one and half an hour, along with Zhao Yunhai’s narration, Lyu Liang was sometimes surprised and sometimes he lamented. A famous sleepless city had been brought to his attention…

The name of Sleepless City was no longer memorable. It was said to have been built hundreds of thousands of years ago by an extremely powerful figure named Six Tao Immortal.

The most significant feature of this city was that no matter what cultivation one had, the moment he enters the city, he will turn into a mortal!

Inside was a vibrant mortal world. Since its establishment, it had become a sacred place for cultivators from all walks of life. It was said that as long as you are in it, you will forget about all the problems of the cultivation world.

Of course, more people meant more trouble. But in the Sleepless City, you can quarrel and fight, but you were not allowed to kill. The most interesting thing was that no one could be killed. When someone dies, their souls will be automatically sucked into a secret space that had been integrated into heaven and the earth, and the soul will be revived the next day.

The killer will then be forcibly evicted from the city, and a mark will be engraved on him, and he would be prohibited from entering forever.

Finally, this city had another amazing feature, that is, 24 hours after entering the gate, those who were not citizens of the gate would be sent out forcibly, and was prohibited from entering in the next ten years. This was in line with the insatiable temptation it provided, and was also a place where many powerful figures loved to linger.

“Immortal Six Tao, what a great powerful figure…” this was not the first time that Lyu Liang heard about this person’s reputation. From Tai Chu Ancestor Lord’s words, he already knew that this person was Shenhuang Six Tao, who also known as ‘the smartest person of Divine Clan Space”.

“Taoism peer Lyu, although this place is not a ‘must go to place” at the Heavenly Alliance branch, you must at least visit this place!” Zhao Yunhai said sincerely.

“I see!” “If that’s the case, I will take your advice!” Although Lyu Liang made a quick promise, he did not want to go. Anyway, unless the other party followed him, it was up to him whether he would go or not.

Afterwards, Zhao Yunhai left and Lyu Liang left the Qingling Pavilion too. He flew toward the edge of Fresh Wind Country.

“Lyu Liang, I, I want to go to Sleepless City, may I?” This was the first time Wen Xiaojing made a request. He was stunned for a moment, and then nodded subconsciously.

“Yes, but is there a reason?” Lyu Liang asked curiously.

“I just want to have this feeling of being myself…” Wen Xiaojing’s voice was soft and then she stopped.

Well, another confusing answer. Although they only spent a short period together, Lyu Liang had fully adapted to the style of the other party.

As for how to go to Sleepless City, even if he did not know it before, he fully understood it during the flight. No wonder Zhao Yunhai did not tell him about the route, it was almost impossible to not know how to get there.

As Lyu Liang flew toward that direction, the number of cultivators increased along the way. From their words and their directions, one could determine the location of Sleepless City.

Lyu Liang was not in a hurry and followed leisurely behind the many cultivators. After an hour, he stopped in front of a dazzling blue water wall.

As he approached the gate of the city, a strange bondage struck him. He lost his Divine Soul connection with the Divine Beast of Chaos, Spirit Swallowing Bug, and mushroom. At the same time, Wen Xiaojing, who wore a yellow palace dress, also appeared. The veil on her face was gone, and revealed her stunning beauty.

“All types of powers are invalid here. Except for those souls who have long been integrated with your Divine Soul, outsiders like me have to come out.” “Now that we’re here, let’s go!” Wen Xiaojing was excited and rushed into the bustling city gate, without waiting for Lyu Liang.

“Is she still the same person?” Lyu Liang’s first impression of Wen Xiaojing was that she had a type of precocious character, steady, intelligent, calm, and so on. But what he saw at the moment was a vibrant look that a young girl like her should have. He was confused about which was the real her.

Lyu Liang followed Wen Xiaojing into the city and was stunned for a moment. In the afternoon, there were many people hanging out in the streets, and many shops were closed. Those which were open also had a “Thank you” sign inside. Apart from the limited manpower for cleaning, it was just like any ordinary place.

“It’s early for us, but wait another two hours, and you’ll know why it’s called the ‘Sleepless City’ here!” Since Wen Xiaojing first entered the city, she looked around with great interest. Even if the shops were being cleaned, as long as the people inside did not stop her, she would go in and walk around.

Due to Wen Xiaojing’s discarding of her veil, her gorgeous and stunning beauty attracted every male cultivator there. For the first time, Lyu Liang felt embarrassed about being with her…

Along the way, comments such as ‘flowers in cow dung’ was heard a thousand times. Later, some cultivators even came and tried to talk to Wen Xiaojing. Wen Xiaojing pulled at Lyu Liang’s arms and leaned her head on his shoulder. With this action, she was telling everyone she had a partner already!

“You are making everyone hate me…” Lyu Liang’s facial muscles twitched as he received more and more envious, hateful, and hostile looks from the male cultivators around him. He could only sigh gently. However, he acted cheerfully as the role of the chaperone.

Somehow, because of the good mood or because the city seemed to have a forceful effect that made his Taoist Heart soften, Lyu Liang felt as if he was back at Siji Village, where he had spent his carefree childhood.

Time flew by, and soon it was at dusk. The whole city turned dark with the setting of the sun, while a distant bell sounded slowly, accompanied by a loud shout, “Welcome everyone to the Sleepless City!” “Here, let us forget all the troubles of the cultivation world and enjoy this rare sleepless night!”

As the voice faded, the dim city was illuminated immediately, and all the closed shops on both sides of the road, swung open. In an instant, the empty street was filled with a myriad of shops. Countless stalls appeared one after another, some selling food and drinks and there were street performers like jugglers and opera singers, and so on. It was only now that Lyu Liang understood the concept of ‘Sleepless City’.

“I want cotton candy!” Wen Xiaojing pulled Lyu Liang and rushed toward the right side of the road. Lyu Liang nearly lost his balance at her strong tugging.

“Wait, wait, let me push a way through, you wait here!” Looking at the bustling crowd, Lyu Liang was embarrassed to let a little girl push her way through. Although his Divine Body technique had wholly lost its use here, with his muscular arms, he still managed to get in easily.

When he came out with two large cotton candies in his hand, Wen Xiaojing rushed over to him, took a mouthful of it and grinned happily at him. Lyu Liang recalled the first time they met and found it hard to believe that a person could have such a complicated character.

But soon, this awkward thought was put aside by him. As Wen Xiaojing ran to another grilled skewer booth, he left his worries behind, and devoted himself to reliving the joy of childhood memories.

The two walked and ate along the way. Whenever Wen Xiaojing was interested in something, Lyu Liang bought it without even asking about the price. Anyway, the currency requirements here were flexible. He could use both gold of the mortal world and the Primordial Stones of the cultivation world. In this aspect, he was rich.

“Xiao Jing, I remember when we first met, you did not seem to…” Two hours later, the two rested on a relatively quiet hill. Looking at Wen Xiaojing, who was staring at the moonlight with her bright eyes, Lyu Liang asked the question that he had been holding onto for a long time.

“Do you believe in reincarnation?” Wen Xiaojing did not look at him and continued staring at the moon quietly, then she said softly, “I am an ‘Inheritance Body’ with special constitutions. In my body, there are actually three powerful Divine Souls of the Wen Clan. “The body covers not only the powerful techniques of eternity, but also the essence of experience spanning hundreds of thousands of years… Only here, their thinking will not control me and I can be the real Wen Xiaojing…”

In the end, although she was still staring at the moon, two lines of tears began flowing down her cheeks…

“I am sorry for misunderstanding you before.” Lyu Liang gazed and suddenly realized the actual meaning that Wen Xiaojing and White had tried to express before…

Lyu Liang was no stranger to such feelings. He still remembered the moment when his Devil Soul had awakened in the Virtual Land. The sense of vicissitudes of hundreds of years had struck instantly, and since then, his happy time as an ordinary kid in Four Season Village, was gone forever. Instead, he was trapped in his tragic family history and his hatred toward the Blood Divine Sect…

Fortunately, the Devil Soul was himself. He had obtained great opportunities and gained help from nobles and beasts from time to time in his life. Although the simplicity of his childhood was gone forever, he lived at his will, and even condensed his immortal Taoist Heart.

However, Wen Xiaojing’s situation was much more severe than his. Those were three extraordinary powerful figures. Maybe she could use their help to become someone extraordinary too, but as a young girl, it was too cruel for her to go through all these…

“Let’s go!” “The joy of the Sleepless City is not over yet!” Lyu Liang suddenly stood up and pulled Wen Xiaojing, who was looking at him, to her feet. His eyes brightened, “I don’t care if you were under the control of those elders before, at least for the moment, you are just you, Wen Xiaojing!”

Wen Xiaojing followed Lyu Liang in a daze, and tears welled up in her eyes again. But she wiped it away with her sleeves and smiled. Then she sped up and rushed forward.

Lyu Liang was also stunned, and then he laughed loudly. He followed behind her into the bustling street.

A girl who was supposed to be vibrant was forced to experience things far beyond her knowledge. She was controlled by three powerful figures from time to time. Maybe her strength and ability were strong, but she was not happy.

Sleepless City, perhaps only this place, was one of the few places where she could be her radiant self.

For the next four hours, the entire street resounded with the gay laughter of the two. When they chose another place to rest and watch the moon again, they nearly lost all their strength. They lay on the grass and gasped for the mortal air.

“Thank you…” Lyu Liang turned his head at Wen Xiaojing’s soft voice. Looking at her eyes that seemed to talk, he realized deep inside his heart, a gorgeous figure had taken her place…

Just when Lyu Liang’s thoughts were a little far away, Wen Xiaojing, who was vibrant at first, suddenly sat up. She was no longer gentle and became instantly alert and said solemnly, “Hey, we are in trouble!”

Lyu Liang got up in a hurry and was about to ask, when he frowned. He suddenly felt a vague gust of Death Qi drifting over, though he was still in the mortal atmosphere of the Sleepless City!

“In such a place, they can still?” Lyu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then stood up to survey the surrounding environment.

“Stop looking for it. You will be dead anyway.” A black-robed man dropped from the top of a tree, a hundred feet away. From his moves, he should be powerful in the mortal world. “Do not think you guys will be spared under the aura of the incarnation well by Immortal Six Tao!” “From this time today, the myth that no death occurs in Sleepless City will end with your deaths!”
