Cultivating To Immortality
Chapter 417: Helping
Those fierce and violent Demonic Beasts, however, had no power to resist in front of the black divine lightning.
As soon as they were touched by the lightning, their bodies would instantly stiffen, then fall heavily to the ground, devoid of life.
In the blink of an eye, the three leading Immortal King Demonic Beasts fell first, their massive bodies crashing to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
Immediately after, over five hundred Taiyi Demon Beasts also fell one after another under the divine lightning, becoming cold corpses.
The Cultivators on the city wall saw this scene and all opened their mouths wide, staring dumbfounded at this incredible sight.
Even the Immortal King City-Guarding General was stunned in place, his actions halted, his face filled with shock.
He had never seen anyone resolve so many high-level Demonic Beasts so easily; this power was too terrifying.
The remaining low-level Demonic Beasts of the Golden Immortal and True Immortal realm, seeing their leaders all die at once, trembled with fear, losing all their previous ferocity.
They all turned around and fled scrambling into the depths of the desert, not daring to stay near Blazing Sand City for another moment.
Looking at the low-level Demonic Beasts retreating like a tide, Fang Hong did not intend to pursue them.
These Demonic Beasts were too low in Cultivation; even if refined into Immortal Pills, the effect would not be significant for him now.
Fang Hong raised his hand and gently beckoned towards the Demonic Beast corpses on the ground, sucking all three Immortal King and several hundred Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm Demonic Beast corpses into the Years Pearl Space.
These corpses were excellent materials for refining Immortal Pills; later, when he found a stable place, he could feed them to the Demon Gourd and obtain a batch of high-quality Immortal Pills.
"Hahaha. Fellow Daoist’s Divine Power is vast, truly an eye-opener for me."
After the beast tide completely receded, the Cultivators in the city quickly withdrew the city-guarding formation.
The City-Guarding General immediately flew down from the city wall, a respectful smile on his face, "I am Li Yuan, the City-Guarding General of Blazing Sand City. May I know Fellow Daoist’s name?"
Fang Hong looked at the respectful City-Guarding General before him and replied in a calm tone, "My name is Guangsheng."
"So it is Great Master Guangsheng."
"Thanks to Great Master’s help just now, otherwise Blazing Sand City would probably have been destroyed by the beast tide today. Great Master has saved the lives of everyone in our city."
Li Yuan quickly cupped his hands and bowed to Fang Hong.
"This monk just happened to pass by here and saw Demonic Beasts causing trouble, so I lent a hand. General, there’s no need to be so polite."
"By the way, is there a teleportation array in Blazing Sand City that leads to the capital of the Red Sand Kingdom?"
Fang Hong waved his hand, getting straight to the point. What he cared about most now was traveling, and he didn’t want to waste too much time here.
Li Yuan heard the words teleportation array and quickly nodded, saying.
"Yes. Of course, there is! If Great Master wishes to go to the Royal Capital, I will personally take Great Master to the teleportation array’s location, ensuring no delay to Great Master’s journey."
"Then I shall trouble the General," Fang Hong nodded slightly.
"Not at all. Great Master is the savior of our Blazing Sand City; guiding Great Master is what I should do."
"Great Master, please follow me. The teleportation array to the Royal Capital is in the backyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, not far from here."
Subsequently, Li Yuan personally led Fang Hong to the teleportation array and presented Fang Hong with a batch of artifact refining materials.
Soon, the two arrived at the backyard of the City Lord’s Mansion.
In a corner of the backyard, there was a ten-foot-tall stone platform, on which dense talismans were carved, precisely a teleportation array.
Li Yuan walked to the side of the teleportation array and said to Fang Hong, "Great Master, this is the teleportation array to the Royal Capital."
"The teleportation array requires some Immortal Stones; I have already had them prepared. Great Master can use it directly."
Fang Hong glanced at the teleportation array and cupped his hands towards Li Yuan, "Many thanks, General."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "If Great Master has the opportunity to pass through Blazing Sand City again in the future, please be sure to visit the City Lord’s Mansion so I can properly host Great Master."
Fang Hong nodded, said no more, turned, and stepped onto the teleportation array.
As the array runes on the teleportation array lit up, a white light enveloped Fang Hong’s figure. In the next breath, Fang Hong’s figure disappeared into the teleportation array.
Looking in the direction where Fang Hong disappeared, Li Yuan murmured to himself, "This Great Master Guangsheng’s power is truly unfathomable."
A few breaths later, Fang Hong’s figure slowly stepped out from another teleportation array platform, the platform beneath his feet still retaining faint spatial fluctuations.
Looking up, Fang Hong was already in the core area of the Red Sand Kingdom’s capital, where a vast and boundless large plaza came into view.
Above the plaza, rows of teleportation array platforms were neatly arranged.
Accompanied by beams of light appearing one after another, Cultivators continuously emerged from the array platforms, making it exceptionally lively.
Around the plaza was the main urban area of the Red Sand Kingdom’s capital.
There, tall buildings stood in dense rows, mostly constructed from sturdy red sandstone, exuding a majestic and profound aura.
Looking as far as the eye could see, in the direction of the plaza’s end, magnificent golden and splendid palaces stood, with flying eaves and upturned corners, their aura grand and imposing.
Presumably, that was the location of the Red Sand Kingdom’s Royal Palace.
Fang Hong retracted his gaze and walked directly to a consultation stone platform at the edge of the plaza, asking a staff member dressed in a uniform.
"Is there a direct teleportation array to Qingyun City here?"
The staff member, accustomed to receiving Cultivators from all sides, had extremely sharp eyesight and immediately sensed Fang Hong’s extraordinary aura, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
He quickly and respectfully replied, "Senior, I am truly sorry, there is no direct teleportation array to Qingyun City here."
"However, there is a recommended fastest route: you can first transfer to the teleportation array of the Fire Fox Kingdom, and then from there transfer to the Flying Feather Kingdom."
"Finally, fly directly from the Flying Feather Kingdom to Qingyun City; this way, you can save a lot of time."
Upon hearing this, Fang Hong nodded slightly, mentally noting down this route.
Subsequently, Fang Hong turned and left this bustling teleportation plaza, flying towards the prosperous main urban area.
Since he had already arrived at the Red Sand Kingdom’s capital, Fang Hong was not in a hurry to immediately continue his journey.
As a royal capital, this Red Sand City might contain many good things within it.
Fang Hong decided to take this opportunity to explore the Royal City thoroughly and see if he could buy some treasures useful to him.
Fang Hong slowly flew along the street; shops lined both sides, a scene of prosperity.
While enjoying the local customs, he inquired about the city’s situation from street vendors.
After some inquiries, Fang Hong learned that the most famous and powerful merchant association in this Royal Capital was called the Crimson Sun Merchant Association.
It was said that the association contained numerous treasures, from ordinary Cultivation resources to rare Immortal materials and Immortal Artifacts, having everything imaginable.
Following the directions given by passersby, Fang Hong traveled through the city and soon arrived at the location of the Crimson Sun Merchant Association.
Ahead, a magnificent three-story pavilion stood.
