Hanhe City, the largest city within the territory of the Nine Sects Alliance, was vast beyond measure—the most sprawling city Duan Lingtian had ever seen in this life.
He specified "in this life" because the cities of this world could not be compared to those of his past. In his previous life, he lived in a modern society where cities were not defined by walls or rigid boundaries, but rather by entire regions of urban development. In this world, however, cities resembled those of his past life's ancient history, enclosed by imposing city walls.
Even before he reached the outskirts of Hanhe City, Duan Lingtian noticed the crowd thickening. Judging by their direction, they were all headed toward the city, just like him. As a city within the Nine Sects Alliance, Hanhe City was protected by a "Flight Prohibition Formation." He had learned of this beforehand: like the formation guarding the Yueyao Sect, it restricted flight for any martial or Daoist cultivator below the Saint Stage. Only those at the Saint Stage or higher could soar through the sky at will. Consequently, when he arrived at the gates, Duan Lingtian had no choice but to follow the flow of the crowd and enter on foot.
