Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I'll Take Them Down!

Chapter 2244: Chapter 2244: Entering the City!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

At the same time, a grey light flashed in his eyes.

With the aid of the Eye of Destruction, Zhou Yu saw the surface of the Heaven-Reaching Pillar clearly.

The material of the Heaven-Reaching Pillar seemed to be similar to the Black Cloud Stone used in the foundation of Black Cloud City.

However, the surface of the Black Cloud Stone was very smooth, as if it had been polished.

Yet, the surface of the Heaven-Reaching Pillar was carved with patterns.

Among these patterns, golden and silver spirit lights faintly flickered continuously, like flowing water.

Even with the Eye of Destruction, that’s all he could discern.

Zhou Yu was somewhat unwilling and used his Divine Sense to probe again.

As a result, the moment his Divine Sense approached the range of the Heaven-Reaching Pillar, it was instantly devoured by a mighty force.

Zhou Yu’s expression changed, and he hurriedly retracted his Divine Sense.

Seeing Zhou Yu still examining the Heaven-Reaching Pillar, Jia Chen smiled and said:

”Daoist Zhou, you mustn’t use Divine Sense to investigate.”

”Every year, many people get severely injured due to using Divine Sense to probe.”

”Moreover, materials and items like gold and wood cannot approach the Heaven-Reaching Pillar, or they’ll be devoured.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu showed a look of surprise.

He had seen many array barriers that devour Divine Sense.

But one that devours materials and items like gold and wood, he had never seen before.

”I can’t believe there’s such a thing!”

Jia Chen nodded.

Soon, Zhou Yu and Jia Chen arrived at one of the city gates of Black Cloud City.

At this moment, there were over a hundred guards in Black Cloud City battle armor at the city gate.

Each of these guards exuded a fierce murderous aura.

Everyone entering and exiting had to undergo inspection.

Of course, this was understandable.

After all, with the Divine Horn Clan’s massive invasion, the Black Cloud Twenty-Eight Clans were on the brink of destruction.

A top-level main city like Black Cloud City naturally needed to strengthen its defenses.

Zhou Yu observed the city gate from a distance.

At the city gate, there was a huge, mirror-like magic artifact.

Everyone entering and exiting had to pause in front of this magic artifact.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu could already guess the purpose of this magic artifact.

Most likely, it was specifically designed to detect disguise spells and the like.

Jia Chen led Zhou Yu to the entrance and swaggered directly in.

He even shouted at a few people who tried to cut in front of him.

Those people initially looked angry, but upon sensing the Divinity Transformation Realm level aura from Jia Chen, they all shrank back to the side, scared.

Jia Chen’s arrogant behavior immediately drew the attention of the city guards.

Among them, three people with unfriendly expressions walked toward Jia Chen.

All three of them had cultivations above the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Seeing these three, Jia Chen didn’t say a word and directly threw out a Jade Token.

The person walking in front of the three caught the Jade Token and examined it closely.

The next moment, his face showed a respectful expression.

The trio quickly stepped forward to Jia Chen and respectfully said:

”Greetings, Young Prince.”

”The Alliance Clan had long issued the order that once the Young Prince returns, he should immediately proceed to the Imperial City to meet the Alliance Elders.”

As they spoke, the Guard Captain returned the Jade Token to Jia Chen.

Hearing this, Jia Chen casually nodded.

”I understand.”

He turned to Zhou Yu.

”Daoist Zhou, shall we go in?”

Zhou Yu nodded, following Jia Chen inside.

Since Zhou Yu was brought by Jia Chen, the city guards didn’t conduct any inspection.

However, when passing by that mirror-like magic artifact, Zhou Yu paused and glanced at it.

The magic artifact emitted an extremely powerful Divine Sense, instantly scanning Zhou Yu’s body.

Feeling the strength of this Divine Sense, Zhou Yu also showed a look of surprise.

In just that instant, the strength of this Divine Sense likely reached the peak of the Integration Realm, or even the Tribulation Crossing Realm level.

It was clear that with the average cultivations of the city defense team being at the Divinity Transformation Realm, such a powerful Divine Sense could not possibly come from them.

It must have been due to the magic artifact itself.

It was unexpected to find a magic artifact capable of emitting Divine Sense; this was truly an eye-opener for Zhou Yu.

After smoothly entering the city, Jia Chen turned to Zhou Yu and said:

”Daoist Zhou, I need to visit the Alliance Elders in the Imperial City. Would you like to join me in the Imperial City, or would you prefer to stroll around the city first?”

Zhou Yu smiled and said:

”Daoist Jia, please feel free to attend to your affairs. I’ll wander around the city.”

”Very well.”

Jia Chen took out a Jade Talisman and handed it to Zhou Yu.

”Daoist Zhou, this is where I reside in the Imperial City. After your tour, you can use the Jade Talisman to go directly to my place.”

”It’ll serve as a place for you to stay.”

Zhou Yu smiled and then politely declined:

”Thank you for your kind offer, Daoist Jia, but I’m accustomed to wandering alone and wouldn’t want to disturb you.”

Hearing this, Jia Chen didn’t insist and said:

”Understood.”

”There are also many places in the city where you can rent a residence, which might suit your preferences, Daoist Zhou.”

”However, there’s one point you must remember, Daoist Zhou.”

”You absolutely cannot cause any disturbances in the city.”

”Black Cloud City is currently in a complete lockdown, exits are only possible through the city gates. There’s a No-fly Restriction in the sky, and if any violations occur in the city, escape is impossible, and punishment is inevitable.”

”This rule cannot be easily broken, not even by me, the Young Prince.”

”So, Daoist Zhou, you must remember.”

Zhou Yu nodded.

”Thank you for the reminder, I understand.”

After delivering the warning, Jia Chen departed.

After watching Jia Chen disappear at the end of the street, Zhou Yu began to wander around the city.

As he walked, he observed the architectural layout of the city.

The architectural style was chaotic and disordered, evidently a fusion of different race styles.

The cultivators coming and going in the city were of all kinds, but mostly maintained humanoid forms.

After some observation and hearsay,

Zhou Yu roughly understood the basic situation of the city.

Black Cloud City had gathered most cultivators of the Black Cloud Twenty-Eight Clans now.

Originally, these Black Cloud Twenty-Eight Clans were highly dispersed.

Individually, each race could only be considered average at best in the Heavenly Origin World.

Of course, some races ranked above average.

However, compared to the Divine Horn Clan, one of the top-ranking clans, an individual race was no match.

But now, the Black Cloud Twenty-Eight Clans have allied, collectively known as the Alliance Clan.

So, they barely have some capital to confront the Divine Horn Clan.

But it’s barely at best.

Of course, with the territory of the Black Cloud Twenty-Eight Clans continually being compressed, and a significant number of experts being forced to gather here, forming a formidable force, even the Divine Horn Clan might not suppress it easily.

Thus, a temporary balance was established.

But how long this will last is uncertain.

After roughly understanding these, Zhou Yu started pondering.

He certainly didn’t want to get involved in this tribal war right now; too many uncertain factors existed in such a grand battle, so he still wanted to find the Transmission Array to leave the northern part of the Heavenly Origin World and return to the south.

Just then, Zhou Yu suddenly noticed a building that looked quite familiar, and he walked inside...
