"Youcouldhavetoldmeearlier."

SuYirolledhiseyes,buthadnochoicebuttofollowbehind,usingtheHundredTransformationsStep.

TheCentralRegioncitywascrowdedwithpeoplefromallwalksoflife.

Therewerebustlingnoises,sellingnoises,anddiscussions,withvarioussoundsblendingtogetherandreachingthesky!

Withhissharpspiritualpower,SuYicouldtellfromthesurroundingdiscussionsthatmanypeoplewerevisitingtheCentralRegioncityforthefirsttime,andwereamazedbyit.

Ofcourse,mostofthediscussionsrevolvedaroundtheupcomingSaintMartialAssembly.

"IsthisthebranchofYutianPalace?"SuYilookedaround.AlthoughthisplaceinCentralRegionCitywasnotparticularlyimpressive,itwasalsonotbad.Judgingbytheappearanceofthisbranch,asXiWuqinghadsaid,theYutianPalaceorganizationwastrulydedicatedtocultivatingandrefiningtoolsandelixirs.Fromthefacadeofthisbranch,althoughitwasheavyandweathered,asifithadbeenthroughthepassageoftime,youcouldstillfeelasenseofpeace.
