Ma Linlin kept talking beside Zhao Meng.
During this period of time, he was used to the talkative Ma Linlin and did not feel weary.
After all, this was his daughter. He could not give her any help now. The least he could do was to listen to her.
Perhaps it was because of this patient listening that Ma Linlin kept confiding in Zhao Meng.
…
In the midst of their conversation, the business team finally arrived at the majestic pass.
This city pass stretched from north to south, stretching as far as the eye could see, and under the pass, be it Zhao Meng or the other demons, they were as tiny as ants.
"I wonder what they are guarding against in such a grand pass?"
Zhao Meng sized up this city and naturally used the eyes of his previous life to evaluate the difficulty of its construction.
However, when he thought about how the Two-World Mountain was constructed by an unknown existence, then, in this world where cultivators and demons existed, it did not seem difficult to build such a city pass.
…
The process of entering the pass was very fast.
Perhaps because there were too many demons and human business teams waiting in line, the efficiency of clearing the pass was extremely high.
Zhao Meng did not see any strange phenomena.
Or perhaps, the horse demons in the business teams had taken care of some matters in advance, preventing what Zhao Meng had imagined from happening.
In short, he cleared the pass very quickly.
Even though a human like him had joined the business team of the horse demons, the city guards did not ask further.
After successfully passing the checkpoint, Zhao Meng secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, since the Two-World Pass was established on your side, it has always been lenient for entering but strict for leaving!" Ma Linlin, who was at the side, seemed to have seen through something and explained, "The exit is in the other direction. If we were to bring a human like you out, we might have to go through a great deal of scrutiny, and it would be very difficult!"
Hearing Ma Linlin's explanation, Zhao Meng nodded silently.
Although they had entered the pass, they were still in the process of passing through the "gate entrance".
The Two-World Pass was extremely majestic, causing the foundation of the Two-World Pass to be very wide.
Such a large base made Zhao Meng feel like he was passing through a tunnel when passing through the gate of the pass.
Fortunately, there was a light emitted by an unknown gem in this tunnel.
It made the entire "tunnel" very bright. Coupled with Ma Linlin's incessant chatter, Zhao Meng did not feel uncomfortable.
At the end of the tunnel, the moment Zhao Meng stepped out of the gate entrance, the noisy and bustling scene came into his view.
There was no solemn atmosphere of the border. Instead, this city was very lively.
The streets were filled with people and demons. There were dozens of pavilions, that were tens of storeys high.
The pavilions were decorated with unknown lights. Due to the arrival of night, all kinds of signs lit up, like a street filled with neon lights.
Such a scene made Zhao Meng feel like he was in the prosperous metropolis of his previous life.
"How is this a border? It is clearly an extremely prosperous business city."
"Hey! Stop looking. It's time you paid!"
Ma Linlin interrupted Zhao Meng's thoughts.
Upon hearing Ma Linlin's words, Zhao Meng took out the animal-skin pouch left behind by the mixed-fur fox and took out the gold and silver items that they had agreed on in advance.
"You shouldn't be a human from Two-World Pass City, right?
"Then, what are your plans next?" Ma Linlin asked after receiving the money.
Seeing that his naive daughter had seen something, he did not quibble. He looked at the bustling city and felt a little lost.
"Where do I go from here?"
At this moment, the brown horse from the business team walked over.
"Linlin, it's time to go!"
Ma Linlin wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by the brown horse. The brown horse looked at Zhao Meng strangely.
"The place we're going to next is not a place that this human can set foot in!"
The brown horse's words saddened Ma Linlin.
However, it was also these words that made Ma Linlin think of something.
"Oh right, that jade pendant!
"Zhao Meng, you might want to go and take a look at the Demon Subduing Temple!"
"Demon Subduing Temple!"
Zhao Meng, who was originally a little lost, immediately perked up when he heard the familiar name.
When the brown horse heard the words Demon Subduing Temple, her tail was about to stand up.
"Linlin, don't spout nonsense!"
As she spoke, the brown horse glared at Zhao Meng with her huge eyes.
"Human, leave quickly!"
…
During the time he spent with the horse tribe's business team, Zhao Meng could also sense the coldness and rejection of this horse demon tribe towards him.
Other than Ma Linlin, the other horse demons were unwilling to talk to him.
Therefore, after entering the city, Zhao Meng did not get too entangled with this business team of horse demons.
Although he was a little worried about Ma Linlin's situation, Ma Linlin already had her own life. As her "Mist Father", he could not interfere too much.
"Jade pendant! I'll do as Ma Linlin said and check out the Demon Subduing Temple first!"
Zhao Meng touched the jade pendant in his pocket and found a passerby to get some information. Soon, he found the location of the Demon Subduing Temple.
…
As a large city, there was naturally a public transportation system.
The bus in Two-World Pass City was very strange.
It was a furry monster that looked like a cat demon.
After observing the process of taking a bus, Zhao Meng followed suit and rode a cat demon towards the Demon Subduing Temple in the city.
However, before he arrived at the Demon Subduing Temple, the cold jade pendant in his pocket emitted an inexplicable heat.
…
In the middle of the Two-World Pass City was an extremely ordinary Taoist temple.
The walls of the Taoist temple were covered in moss and algae. It was incompatible with the bustling business scene around it.
However, such an ordinary and simple Taoist temple occupied the most prosperous area in the entire city.
Furthermore, there was a large amount of empty space around the Taoist temple.
If the real estate merchants in other places were to see such a good piece of land wasting in the city, they would definitely be heartbroken.
However, despite it being such an important place, not a single merchant dared to let their business tentacles touch the vicinity of the Taoist temple.
As for the reason… It was because this Taoist temple was called the Demon Subduing Temple.
…
Being the Taoist temple that suppressed an entire city, it ought to be a very solemn place, but at this moment, there were bursts of arguments.
"Senior Brother! Why are you stopping me?"
A middle-aged Taoist was standing in front of the Taoist temple, blocking the path of a group of people.
If Zhao Meng was here, he would immediately recognize the person blocking the door. It was the Taoist Qing Xuan that he had been thinking about.
"Junior Brothers, although that Indomitable Mist Seed is rumored to have a miraculous effect, we have to be careful. Have you forgotten the great change that happened eighteen years ago?"
"This… Senior Brother, you know that the temple has been facing some difficulties recently. If we agree to that person's request and snatch an Indomitable Mist Seed, the issue in our temple will be resolved!"
"No!"
Qing Xuan wanted to stop him, but he suddenly sensed something and looked surprised.
"How is this possible!"
As he spoke, Qing Xuan turned into a green light and disappeared in front of the temple, leaving everyone looking at each other.
