Chapter 128 The Middle Domain

"Is this the Middle Domain? The spiritual energy is indeed much richer than our place."

Tian Suanzi said loudly, earning him glares from passersby.

After they arrived at the courtyard belonging to the Kingdom of Lanning, they noted the location and went out for a stroll.

There was no other way; more than four hundred people living in a few courtyards was simply too crowded.

This city was not large, only slightly bigger than Nanfu City.

Nanfu City usually had a resident population of over two hundred thousand, but this city was now packed with nearly two million people.

There were forty to fifty thousand people just participating in the competition, plus their servants, plus the army sent by the event organizers to maintain order; it had to be close to two million people.

The event organizers were the Nine Great Peak Factions.

"These Nine Great Factions are too stingy. This competition has gathered almost all the Core Formation geniuses in the entire Lei Feng Realm, yet they've crammed everyone into such a small city.

"Look, this broken city is already falling apart. Is this a place for people to live? It's obvious they just temporarily stuffed everyone here for the competition. Dafeng Novel

"So sloppy."

Tian Suanzi kept grumbling and complaining.

It was no wonder he had so many complaints. Almost every residence in this city was crammed full of people. That's why they came to wander the streets, but the streets were also packed.

In the past, the word "shoulder to shoulder" was used to describe the prosperity of a city.

But here, it was no longer a figure of speech but a reality.

In just a short while, Wan Lei and his group had bumped shoulders with several groups of people.

"If it really doesn't work out, let's go outside the city. These conditions are too harsh. It's not a place for people to stay."

"You're just saying that because you see that almost everyone here is stronger than you, and you're afraid, right?"

"Bah, I'm just thinking that we have two girls with us. It's okay for us men to squeeze around, but wouldn't they suffer?

"I'm saying this for their sake... Ouch, who bumped into me!"

"Get out of the way, don't block the road by walking so slowly. Go walk on the side of the road."

Tian Suanzi was bumped into Wan Lei by someone, and four young men wearing identical clothes passed by him, shouting loudly.

"The road is so wide, why do you have to come over and squeeze with us?!"

Wan Lei said angrily.

"Yo, where did these country bumpkins come from? Daring to provoke us? Do you know who we are?"

The leading young man pointed to his clothes.

"Don't know."

"Tch, as expected, a bunch of hicks. You don't even know the Cold Sword Sect. Never mind, we'll teach you a lesson today, so you know who to avoid when you see them in the Middle Domain."

"Cold Sword Sect? What kind of sect is that? It doesn't seem like there's such a sect among the Nine Great Factions. Seeing how arrogant you are, I thought you were powerful."

Wan Lei sneered.

"You brat, if you had bumped into someone from the Nine Great Factions, you'd probably be dead already. Would they still let you talk?

"Your mouth is really foul. Don't even bother participating in the Myriad Pride Ranking; just die here."

As the leading young man spoke, he drew his sword.

Seeing that there was a spectacle to watch, the surrounding pedestrians gathered around, and in an instant, Wan Lei and his group became the center of attention.

"Let me see who dares to touch my friend, Sui Xiaohang!"

A loud shout came from outside the crowd.

The crowd parted, and a young man walked in slowly with a sneer.

The young man was wearing a black robe with a pill furnace embroidered on his chest, shining brightly.

Although this young man was only in the Initial Force Realm, everyone around him respectfully stepped aside when they saw him.

"Sui Xiaohang?!"

Wan Lei and his group looked at Sui Xiaohang with suspicion.

This guy, he's so awesome now?

"May I ask if you are Heavenly Pill Pavilion's Young Master Sui?"

The leading young man from the Cold Sword Sect gasped and said respectfully with cupped hands.

In the Middle Domain, one matter had already spread far and wide.

Three months ago, Grandmaster Xuan Dan brought back a young man and took him as his direct disciple. The entire Heavenly Pill Pavilion treated this disciple like a treasure, sparing no effort in providing him with all resources, determined to cultivate him into a Pill Refining Grandmaster.

This person was named Sui Xiaohang.

"It is I. You guys are really impressive, bullying people from other places just because you're from the Middle Domain. What, do you think there are more people from the Middle Domain participating this time than from other places?"

"No, no, no, Young Master Sui misunderstood. We would never dare to do that. We were just having a friendly chat with these fellow cultivators."

"Heh, so friendly indeed. Cold Sword Sect, right? I'll remember that."

"Young Master Sui, please forgive us. We really didn't know these fellow cultivators were Young Master Sui's friends, otherwise, how could we have provoked them?

"After the competition, I will definitely personally go to Heavenly Pill Pavilion to apologize to Young Master Sui."

"Hmph."

Sui Xiaohang snorted coldly. The four disciples bowed deeply again and quickly left.

Before leaving, the leading young man secretly glared at Wan Lei, intending to give Wan Lei a hard time after the competition started.

With Young Master Sui here, he couldn't openly deal with him, but during the competition, blows had no eyes. What if he killed him?

Wan Lei and his group stared blankly at Sui Xiaohang. Seeing this old friend whom they had known for many years now, they felt a different kind of aura.

Dominance.

So damn dominant.

With just a few words, he scared away the arrogant disciples of the Cold Sword Sect.

At this moment, Wan Lei really wanted to shout out loud,

Young Master Sui is awesome!

Sui Xiaohang walked in front of Wan Lei and his friends, not saying a word, but proudly looking at the sky, as if the beautiful sunset was deeply attracting him.

Wan Lei and the others looked at Sui Xiaohang, then at the sky, then at Sui Xiaohang again.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that Wan Lei and the others didn't say anything for a long time, Sui Xiaohang couldn't help but cough twice.

Young Master Lei suddenly understood and shouted loudly,

"Young Master Sui is awesome!"

"Ah... so comfortable."

Sui Xiaohang moaned in satisfaction, retracting his gaze and no longer lingering on the sunset in the sky.

"Tch."

The four of them scorned him in unison.

"Scorn me all you want; I've been waiting eagerly for Young Master Lei to say that.

"Think about it, you guys used to save me, and I would shout 'awesome'.

"But now, it's finally my turn to save you, and you guys shout 'awesome'.

"This feeling...爽 (shuǎng - refreshing)!!!"

"Had enough? If not, we can shout a few more times."

"Shout away."

"Go to hell."

Wan Lei kicked Sui Xiaohang in the butt.

"Let's go, let's go. My master and Elder Mingji are waiting for you."

Sui Xiaohang grabbed Wan Lei's sleeve and walked towards the city center.

"Waiting for us for what?"

"What do you mean, waiting for you for what? This Eastern Desert City is already full. All the good spots have been taken by the Nine Great Factions and the Four Great Pavilions. You guys can only live in that doghouse of a courtyard.

"Each of the Four Great Pavilions has one courtyard. Only Elder Mingji from the Heavenly Calculation Pavilion came, so it's not crowded there. You guys can go live with him."

"Let's go, hurry up."

Tian Suanzi walked even faster than Sui Xiaohang.
