Chapter 295: City within a City

The system worked, Qin Baiqing's figure flashed on the spot, and then disappeared completely.

Her aura disappeared completely, and even Feng Budu could no longer sense any trace of her.

He was subconsciously alert and looked in the direction where Qin Baiqing disappeared, and found that it was the east direction of the city that Qing Ming had warned him about before.

I didn't go there myself, but I didn't expect that she would be allowed in in the end.

Even though he had not seen it with his own eyes, just based on Qing Ming's hint and his own blank spiritual awareness after exploring it, Feng Budu knew this place very well... The east of the city must be no simple place.

There are mysteries hidden in the east of the city. It is definitely not a coincidence that Qin Baiqing disappeared there. He glanced at the calm sky above the Duan family, as if he could already foresee the bloody storm that would follow in the Duan family.

Qin Baiqing has entered the east of the city.

She might need enough time in the east of the city to make a big scene.

There was no response from the east of the city, so Feng Budu stopped his search and headed straight for the city center, all the way to the core area of the Duan family.

The Duan family mansion is hidden deep in the city center, surrounded by large areas of barriers. All the powerful people who are on guard outside are stationed here. Outsiders will be discovered if they get close.

However, Feng Budu did not hide this time.

He broke into the mansion and attracted the Duan family's attention to Qin Baiqing's actions in the east of the city.

In the east of the city, Qin Baiqing successfully entered the barrier.

The barrier was not simply used to block as she had imagined. After stepping into it, Qin Baiqing felt that her cultivation was firmly suppressed and she became no different from an ordinary person.

The scene in the city was also different from that outside the city. There were fewer means of cultivation. The people coming and going and the street shops were all just mortals, with no signs of any cultivators' participation.

Even in the entire small world, there are very few cities like this.

He had lost his cultivation, and the residents in the barrier also had no cultivation. In addition, Qin Baiqing's concealment methods also became ineffective, and his figure suddenly appeared on the street, as if he appeared out of thin air.

I've exposed myself like this!

The barrier bullies people.

Qin Baiqing was instantly furious, staring at the barrier above in disbelief, feeling that she had been tricked!
This barrier is so mysterious. It suppressed my cultivation as soon as I entered. How can I continue investigating now?

She wandered around the city, losing all her means and strength, and shuttled aimlessly within the barrier. She found that life here was completely separated from the outside world and was a completely independent world.

There is no visible connection between this place and the outside world.

It is like a city within a city hidden in the Duan family's territory, independent of the outside world, and also has no obvious relationship with the Duan family. After all, it is difficult to see any interests related to the Duan family for a group of mortals trapped in the barrier.

There was nothing unusual on the surface. In fact, because all the people there were uncultivated, the atmosphere in the city was even more harmonious than any city Qin Baiqing had ever seen.

She gradually relaxed and wandered around aimlessly.

"Ouch!"

"Who bumped into me!"

A huge force came from behind, almost knocking Qin Baiqing away. She was unhappy that she didn't have any skills to protect her body, so she turned around and glared at the impetuous boy: "What are you doing?"

The young man almost knocked her down with his brute force, but Qin Baiqing could no longer tell whether he had any hidden skills, and had no way of distinguishing whether he was a mortal or a cultivator.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” He apologized repeatedly and touched the back of his head embarrassedly: “I didn’t mean to do that, but you look unfamiliar. I don’t think I’ve seen you here before?”

"Oh, I am..."

She hesitated for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "I broke in by accident." Then she carefully closed her mouth, fearing that she had said something suspicious.

But this one sentence alone was enough to shock the boy.

"You actually came in from outside!"

He looked at Qin Baiqing as if he had seen something new, and exclaimed: "We haven't had outsiders here for a long time. Good friend, can you come to my house and sit down? I want to meet new friends."

One of them was looking at the other in surprise, while the other wanted to get some information, and they immediately agreed and followed the boy away.

He called himself Feng Rong, and hurriedly led Qin Baiqing back. Seeing her looking around curiously, he urged her from time to time: "Hurry up, it will be too late if we are late. Let's go back first."

"Why? Are you in a hurry?"

In a hurry to entertain yourself? This is too enthusiastic.

"We can't stay outside for too long. We're moving too slowly today. It will be terrible if we can't get back before dark!" Feng Rong lowered his voice, and simply reached out to hold Qin Baiqing's arm, and started jogging with her: "There are monsters that come out at night and eat people! Let's hurry up."

at night?

Qin Baiqing followed suit and jogged at very fast pace. As the boy's breath became more and more impatient, the atmosphere in the entire barrier seemed to become oppressive.

The sky was just as he said. It darkened at some point and turned a cold dark blue. The people around quickened their pace and closed the door as if they were running for their lives.

In a short period of time, the city that was bustling just now almost became a dead city.

But that's not right! Qin Baiqing became more and more confused.

It was noon when I came in, and the sun was hanging high in the sky. It has only been an hour or two since I entered the city, so why is it getting dark?
"We're home, come in!"

Feng Rong impatiently pulled Qin Baiqing into the door, panting heavily, and only breathed a sigh of relief after locking the door.

Through the last gap when he closed the door, Qin Baiqing saw that the sky outside had already darkened, and the pitch-black night was about to swallow up the dusk.

The sudden sense of urgency confused Qin Baiqing. She frowned in confusion and looked at Feng Rong who was still busy.

"Feng Rong, here..." She wanted to ask whether the changes between day and night here were different from those in the outside world.

But when she turned around, the corner of Qin Baiqing's mouth twitched. She looked in disbelief at the young man who had finished his busy work at some point and was lying upright on the bed. She stopped talking in silence.

The other party covered himself tightly with the quilt, revealing a pair of dark and sincere eyes, and urged Qin Baiqing: "I'm going to sleep, you should go to bed soon too, you can't go out after dark."

After saying this, he stared at Qin Baiqing eagerly, with sincerity and honesty overflowing from the corner of his eyes without reservation, making it impossible to refute.

"I'll just meditate."

Qin Baiqing said seriously: "We outside don't sleep."

The other person had closed his eyes. Qin Baiqing counted the time silently in her heart. After hearing the boy's even breathing in the quiet room, she opened her eyes and looked out the window.

The sky was already completely dark, as dark as ink, darker than the boy's black pupils. There was not a single star or moonlight. It was as quiet outside as a dead place. The ink-black color came in through the window frame. Qin Baiqing sensed some invasion intent for no reason.

It seemed that as long as they opened the doors and windows, the endless darkness would swallow them up.

The breathing sound behind me suddenly became louder!

His breathing turned into heavy gasps, and he made a wheezing sound like a wild beast behind him. The hair on the back of Qin Baiqing's neck stood up, and he felt the hot air spraying towards him. His body froze in place, and he looked back in horror.

The bed was suddenly empty, and the young man turned into an indiscernible monster, pouncing towards Qin Baiqing with fangs and claws.
