Chu Feng had encountered many wealthy young masters, all of whom behaved like beasts and indulged in unsavory habits.
Judging from the reactions of the nearby residents, Xianqing City had likely never experienced anything similar before.
Otherwise, these people wouldn't have continued living near Xianqing City until now.
For a city that had existed for so long to suddenly exhibit such tyrannical behavior—it was very likely that something had changed.
Chu Feng found it hard not to connect this change with the young master of the Dao Alchemy Immortal Sect.
After all, that Hao Ye of the Dao Alchemy Immortal Sect had probably only arrived in Xianqing City not long ago.
Finally, Chu Feng arrived outside Xianqing City.
Xianqing City was a city that floated above the sea of white clouds.
Upon the vast expanse of clouds, the sun itself seemed to hang closer. A city floating in such a place would naturally feel extraordinarily sacred.
But Xianqing City did not carry the aura of an immortal palace.
Because it was dilapidated. Though it was massive, it was undeniably rundown. The walls and the buildings within the city were all made of earth.
At a glance, many walls had already crumbled, and even some of the buildings inside the city were incomplete.
Yet this seemingly abandoned city was bustling with activity.
Just by standing there and observing, Chu Feng could see cultivators arriving through the sky one after another, entering the city.
And the people walking out of the city were a continuous stream as well.
Without exception, they were all juniors.
But Chu Feng wasn't observing these people—he was looking to see if anyone from the Dao Alchemy Immortal Sect was among them.
After all, the young master of the Dao Alchemy Immortal Sect was such an important figure that, under normal circumstances, he would certainly have guards.
After observing for a while, Chu Feng walked straight toward the city.
However, just as he approached the city gates, before even stepping inside, Chu Feng sensed a force.
It was the power of a barrier.
Xianqing City itself did have a barrier, but that one was ancient, carrying the faint aura of a bygone era.
The barrier Chu Feng had just passed through, however, had been recently deployed.
And as a Spirit World Master, Chu Feng could tell that it was a detection barrier. His cultivation level… might have already been exposed.
"As I expected, something's off."
Though Chu Feng didn't slow down and walked straight into the city, he had already formed a plan in his mind.
Though this barrier had been detected by Chu Feng, it was actually quite subtle, which proved that the person who laid it possessed considerable skill.
Other Spirit World Masters wouldn't have had the patience to set up such a barrier here.
So Chu Feng guessed that the barrier enveloping Xianqing City had been deployed by the people of the Dao Alchemy Immortal Sect—they were using it to monitor the strength of everyone who entered the city.
And sure enough, Chu Feng's guess was spot on.
Just outside Xianqing City, there was a hidden floating warship. At its bow, a large group of people had gathered.
They were all from the Dao Alchemy Immortal Sect.
Most of them stood at the bow in the posture of guards.
Among them, two individuals held particularly distinguished positions.
One was a black-haired elder, his hair coiled atop his head, dressed in impeccable attire—the very picture of a refined man.
Though he was elderly, his complexion was ruddy and his features full, giving him a rather youthful appearance.
Standing beside the black-haired elder was a white-haired elder.
The white-haired elder's hair spread out like that of a mighty lion. Even with his eyes closed, those snow-white sword-like brows radiated a fierce and imposing air.
Though he appeared far older than the black-haired elder, he looked considerably more dangerous.
The white-haired elder's posture suggested he wasn't cultivating but rather resting with his eyes shut.
The very moment Chu Feng stepped into Xianqing City, those tightly shut eyes snapped open, gazing directly at the gate through which Chu Feng had just entered.
"My Lord, what is it?"
Seeing this, the black-haired elder standing beside him quickly asked.
