Seven Deadly Sins System

The Green Bamboo City was a city under the jurisdiction of the Sword Palace and was located in the area between the Sword Palace and the Dual Moon Sect.

Among the countless cities of the Cultivation World, the Green Bamboo City was not anything special, but it was quite rare.

That was because the City Lord of the Green Bamboo City was not a mortal or low-level cultivator appointed by a cultivation force, but was a cultivator who established this city on his own.

Although this situation was rare, it was not unique, and there were many cultivators who chose to establish cities and rule over them.

Some of these cultivators belonged to cultivation forces but had exhausted their potential, had given up on improving their cultivation, and wanted to spend the rest of their remaining lifespan in comfort, while others were casual cultivators who were unwilling to lose their freedom and join a force.

Of course, regardless of what their identity was, since the cities they established were located under the jurisdiction of the major forces, they were still nominally under their control and the City Lords had to either pay "taxes", or were tasked with sending talented disciples to them.

The City Lord of the Green Bamboo City wasn't a member of a force, but he was a casual cultivator who was lucky to reach the Awakening Realm.

Because of his high realm, the Green Bamboo City was very attractive in the eyes of other cultivators, especially to the casual cultivators who had always admired the City Lord's achievements.

Chu Wuyao instantly became aware of this as she walked through the streets of the city.

She could see that even though the population of the city was not high, most of the people in the city were either cultivators or had a close relationship with one.

This scene was quite strange to Chu Wuyao, who had only seen cities that were composed of mortals before.

"Granted, most of the cultivators are only at the Qi Accumulation Realm and the Shackles Realm and it's almost impossible to meet someone at the Awakening Realm.", she thought when she raised her head and looked at the flashing lights that flew above her head and rushed in the distance.

She very well knew that each of these lights represented a cultivator at the Shackles Realm.

After taking a few more glances, she shook her head and continued on her way.

At the moment, Chu Wuyao had changed her appearance and turned into a woman with an ordinary appearance, and had hid some of her strength, only exuding an aura equivalent to the Middle Stage of the Shackles Realm.

Even so, this realm attracted the attention of the other people in the street, who would step to the side and make way for her with respect in their eyes.

Chu Wuyao ignored these people, her mind occupied with something else.

It had been a few days since her fight with Song Yang, and during this time, she had already understood that she had been teleported to the region controlled by the Sword Palace.

She knew that with her current strength and speed, it would take her a few weeks to leave this region and return to the area controlled by the Original Desire Sect and she would have to cover a large amount of distance.

However, she didn't rush to do so but chose to stay in this city and collect some information first.

The scene of the leaders of the major forces fighting was still fresh in her mind, and she could still remember the supreme auras that were raging wildly above her head, seemingly causing the whole Cultivation World to tremble.@@novelbin@@

Having experienced this, she judged that it would be unwise to return to the sect right now, and it would be better to make sure that nothing had changed.

After all, judging from the attitude that the leaders showed, it would not be impossible for one of them to die and their sect to be destroyed.

Chu Wuyao didn't want to rush back only to find that the Original Desire Sect was gone.

"But things shouldn't be that serious.", she thought, recalling the figure of the Sect Leader and the means they showed during their sect competition.

Although she was deep in thought, Chu Wuyao's steps didn't pause, and she soon arrived at her destination.

It was a small shop located at the east of the Green Bamboo City, with the words "Star Pavilion" written on a plaque hanging on top of the door.

The shop had no customers and was empty, while it looked very ordinary, like a common mortal shop.

However, Chu Wuyao didn't dare to underestimate it.

She had heard of the Star Pavilion before and knew that although it was not a major force, its power was very impressive and its influence spread throughout the Cultivation World.

As far as she knew, there was a Star Pavilion in every single city that gathered cultivators.

Many thoughts went through Chu Wuyao's mind, but she didn't hesitate and stepped inside the small shop.

Once inside, she found that just like its outward appearance, the interior of the shop was also very ordinary, and only a few items were displayed on top of some wooden shelves.

Even though these items looked quite ancient, Chu Wuyao could see that they didn't have any special effects and were mortal items.

Apart from the shelves and these items, there was only a counter at the center of the shop, and behind it sat a young woman with an immature face.

The woman sat with her right hand supporting her cheek, and her left hand holding a thick book.

From her expression and her posture, it was very clear that she was very bored.

"Tap, tap!"

The woman didn't notice her arrival, and it was only when Chu Wuyao approached the counter and tapped on it that she finally woke up.

Realizing that a customer had arrived, the woman put down the book, and without standing up, she raised her head to look at Chu Wuyao.

"Hello. What do you need?", she asked casually, but Chu Wuyao didn't answer, only shaking her head in response.

The woman's eyes became strange when she saw this and she was about to ask something when Chu Wuyao stretched her right hand.

The next second, a small red flame appeared above her index finger, and it trembled slightly, looking as if it was about to go out.

Despite this seemingly weak appearance though, the moment the flame appeared, its aura spread throughout the shop, and the temperature around it increased massively.

A few drops of sweat formed on the woman's forehead and she felt her whole body burning as if she had walked into a scorching furnace.

"Cu-customer, I understand, I understand!", she spoke with difficulty and shook her head repeatedly.

Fortunately, just when she thought that she would turn into ashes, the fire on Chu Wuyao's finger was extinguished and turned into a wisp of gray smoke that was blown by the wind.

"H-huh, huh...", the woman took a few deep breaths in shock when she saw this, and it took a few seconds for her to recover.
