A few days later, Chen Lei arrived in Ziyun City.
A towering city stands between heaven and earth, like a gigantic purple mythical beast, with its aura steaming.
Ziyun City is built entirely of the finest purple cloud stone, emitting a faint purple glow. The city walls are hundreds of feet high, as majestic as mountains, and majestic. There are countless runes densely engraved on the walls, shining with spiritual light. It is obvious that this huge city has a strong defense.
At this time, countless independent cultivators, emitting extremely powerful auras, gathered from all directions, all for the bounty offered by the Purple Cloud City Lord's Mansion.
This time, the Lord of Ziyun City required strong men above the Yuandan Realm to come, but in fact, he also accepted all the strong men in the Lingyuan Realm. As for the strong men in the Chuyuan Realm, they were completely cannon fodder. Such strong men also knew their own limitations and would not come here to die in vain.
At this time, Chen Lei had also arrived and came to a city gate, where he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
"Stop and be examined."
The soldier guarding the city said in a serious voice that the reason for this was to prevent spies from the Evil God Cult from entering.
Today, Ziyun City has also found a method to detect and identify the Evil God Cult's spies. Although it is impossible to completely eliminate the existence of spies, it can prevent the Evil God Cult from sneaking into the city so easily.
A soldier guarding the city scanned Chen Lei with a strange crystal stone and found nothing wrong. He waved his hand and let Chen Lei enter the city.
Just from this one detail of entering the city, one can infer how tense the situation in the city is now.
After Chen Lei entered Ziyun City, he found it extremely prosperous. It could even be said that it was more prosperous than before.
In the past, Ziyun City, as the capital of a prefecture, was the most prosperous place in the entire Ziyun Prefecture. Now, countless Yuandan realm cultivators have rushed to Ziyun City, which has boosted the trade of Ziyun City. Countless elixir, treasure and other shops are crowded.
Everyone knows that a great war is about to come, and many casual cultivators will exchange their unused treasures for elixirs, magic tools, etc. that can immediately improve their cultivation, so that they can play a role on the battlefield and gain military merit.
Chen Lei was also very interested in all these things in Ziyun Mansion. However, he was not in a hurry to visit these shops. Instead, he rushed to the City Guards in the City Lord's Mansion first, signed up directly, and received a military medal.
This military merit plate was specially made for Ziyun City this time, or rather, it was specially made for the Great Chu Dynasty. As long as a disciple of the Evil God Cult is killed, a military merit will be recorded, and different military merits will be automatically recorded according to the different cultivation levels of the Evil God Cult disciples.
This kind of military medal was invented and refined by the weapon refiners of the Great Chu Dynasty, specifically targeting the Evil God Cult.
Soon, Chen Lei arrived at the city guard, which was full of people waiting to register.
Chen Lei stood in the team and moved forward slowly with the team. Soon it was his turn.
"Name, cultivation level, gender..."
The officer in charge of recording simply asked Chen Lei a few questions, filled out a form, registered, and recorded it. Then, he looked up and asked Chen Lei, "What identity are you going to act as? One is to join the army, and the other is to be a free man. If you join the army, you must obey orders. Although you are restricted, your military merits will be 10% more than those of a free man. If you act as a free man, your military merits will be less."
