I am only mortal but why do you all sees me as a immortal!

---

Outside the Forbidden Area of Dead Souls.

With a momentary distortion of space, Gu Heng appeared here again. The place was unchanged from a week ago, still desolate.

The light curtain behind him did not change and still stood there.

"Well, let's go in the direction that Miss Fei'er went..."

Gu Heng still remembered that when everyone separated last week, they had gone in that direction and wasted a day and two nights in the Forbidden Area of Dead Souls. Now they could finally experience the customs and culture of this small Xuantian Realm!

Although...

He still had a long way to go.

He planned to follow the direction that Bai Fei'er and the others had left. It would probably be safe for him, the "descendant," to follow the footsteps of the "predecessors," unless they were also the ones who had just left the wolf's den and fallen into the tiger's mouth...

Gu Heng took out his speed boots and started to travel at full speed.

An hour later.

Gu Heng saw the "human presence" he wanted. He stopped by a stream and looked at the city on the far end of the horizon.

The city was very unusual and large, and there seemed to be some auspicious aura surrounding the sky above the city, making the entire city look mysterious and magnificent. In short, one could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary place.

"How could a world with immortals be so strange?"

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows.

Nothing else to say.

At least the only place like this that he had seen in the Xuantian Realm was the ancient secret palace, and that was also a secret place left by an immortal...

However, it was a little different from what he imagined.

After all, if there are immortals in a place, there should be a feeling of "fairyland," right?

But Gu Heng knew that his idea was probably unlikely.

Immortals, immortals, are still human beings after all.

Gu Heng went towards the city and soon arrived outside the city. He looked up and saw that there was no plaque on the city gate, but a ray of light suddenly swept over him, making Gu Heng suddenly alert!

"What?"

He subconsciously clenched his fists and looked alert, but no danger came.

The light was quickly retracted, and then something seemed to open up in front of him. Only then did Gu Heng notice that the city gate was open, and there was no gatekeeper. It turned out that the city was covered by a curtain of light!

The light just now...

I guess it was just trying to confirm whether he was a threat or not?

Or maybe it was to prevent something and keep it outside the city!

"Interesting, interesting..." Gu Heng chuckled twice and stepped in.

The streets were wide and straight, paved with stone slabs, and the surrounding architectural style was not much different from that of the Xuantian Realm. The only thing to note was that there were not many people.

There were very few people!

Gu Heng walked along the entire street. He could only see a few pedestrians on the road, and they were all leaving in a hurry. He tried to use his "omniscient perspective" to scan them one by one and found that these people were weaker than himself, or had no ill will towards him at all...

In short, the desolation of the city was beyond his expectations.

"This place is a bit weird."

Gu Heng frowned but finally found a small tavern with a sign on the street and sat down.

The old man who ran the tavern was sitting in the corner, and he didn't even seem to be aware that someone had come. It was not until Gu Heng coughed twice that the old man woke up in shock.

"Tsk, where did this little brat come from to disturb my sleep?"

The old man selling wine was very unhappy.

"A stranger passing by."

Gu Heng said.

The old man selling wine narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Heng for a long time, seeming to be a little confused, but still took out a pot of wine and handed it to Gu Heng.

"Drink as much as you want. I won't charge you."

Gu Heng: "…"

Why does this old man seem to have given up on himself?

The corner of his mouth twitched, then he lowered his head and smelled the wine in his hand. It didn't smell very good, not as good as his own brew.

Besides, the purpose of coming here was not to drink, so he took a sip and then asked, "Old man, it seems that there are not many people here?"

"...Where are you from?"

When the old man heard him ask this, he immediately became interested.

"Xuantian Realm."

Gu Heng did not hide the fact that he was from another world. If he tried to pretend to be from this world to trick people, he would definitely be exposed. It was better for him to just say it directly.

"Are you from Xuantian Realm too?"

The old man smiled, stroked his beard, and said, "What a coincidence, four girls passed by me a few days ago and also came to my tavern to rest. They also said they were from Xuantian Realm."

Gu Heng's heart was slightly shocked.

That must be Bai Fei'er and the others!

"Forget it. Anyway, I don't have anyone to talk to recently. I've told them, and I'll tell you too!" The old man sighed and then sat down at Gu Heng's table.

"This is Sixth Soul City. As for why it is called this, there are eighteen such cities outside the Dead Soul Forbidden Area. It is said that this is to guard against the Dead Soul Witch King in the Dead Soul Forbidden Area. If that guy ever finds a chance to escape, the huge formation formed by these eighteen cities will be the first line of defense against the monster!"

"But a few months ago, news came that the Dead Soul Witch King is no longer a threat, so the existence of these eighteen soul cities has lost its meaning."

When Gu Heng heard the news, he naturally sneered in his heart.

He is going to be one of the "food" fed to the Dead Soul Witch King. The immortals in the small Xuantian Realm have a good plan and want to make the Dead Soul Witch King work for them.

Since they are all going to be used for their own benefit, this "first line of defense" is naturally useless. Why bother guarding against "friendly forces"?

The city itself has lost its meaning.

"So, everyone's gone?"

"Not really, but they were all taken away by the Immortal Lord's decree. As long as they were at the Immortal Ascension Stage, they were all gone. So there are not many people left in these cities now, and the ones left are all ordinary cultivators."

Hearing this, Gu Heng nodded.

All the immortal-level practitioners in the city were called away, probably to deal with the threat of invasion from the demon world. Although it had been almost two or three months since Gu Heng first heard the term "threat from the demon world"...

Until now, he hadn't noticed that the demon world had emerged from somewhere.

It could only make him doubt whether this was fake.

"So, old man, are you going to stay here? There are not many people in the city, and you have no customers. Why don't you go to another place..."

The old man blew his beard and said unhappily, "I have been to many places in my life. Now my legs and feet are not nimble enough. I don't want to move anymore."

"As for you, if you have nowhere to go, I suggest you go to the northwest of Muyue City. It's a relatively lively place. That's what I told the four girls who came to ask for directions."

"Okay, thank you for showing me the way, old man."

After asking for directions, Gu Heng didn't plan to stay long and just got up and left.

But before leaving...

He still left a jar of his own brewed wine as a "reward" for the old man.

No kidding, the wine in this tavern was really bad tasting!

"Hey, don't blame me for being harsh. The wine you brew is not good."

"This jar of wine is brewed by me. You can try it."

Gu Heng left, leaving behind a comment on Dianping.

The old man was startled, then he blew his beard, glared, and roared: "You stinky boy, you dare to say my wine is not good?!"

But these words couldn't stop Gu Heng from leaving...
