“Saint Realm…”Wu Ning glanced at the soldier but did not immediately answer his question. Instead, he was slightly puzzled.

In the Qingyang Empire, a Dao cultivator could already become the master of a city. Only a bustling city with a huge population and a huge land area would allow a Saint Realm cultivator to oversee it.

However, in this desolate stone city, the leader of a random soldier actually possessed the cultivation of Saint Realm. This really surprised Wu Ning.

“You can actually see through my cultivation. Who exactly are you, and what are you doing here?” Although Wu Ning’s voice was very soft, the soldier heard it.

Although Wu Ning was only at Level 9 of the Void Training Realm, yet he could actually see through his cultivation with a glance. The soldier became very alert.

The soldier could clearly sense that Wu Ning was only a Void Training Realm cultivator, yet he knew his level at one glance.

Something was amiss.

“My name is Wu Ning, and I am headed for the outer realm battlefield. I happened to pass by the city and bring no ill intentions,” Wu Ning replied.

“After passing through Barren Rock City, walking for another ten thousand miles will take you to the outer realm battlefield. However, due to the curfew, there hasn’t been any human camp encampment around Barren Rock City recently,” the soldier said, then turned his body slightly to let Wu Ning pass.

Wu Ning was slightly stunned. From the soldier’s body language, he wanted Wu Ning to leave. However, he had to admit that the soldier’s attitude was a little different from what he had expected.

However, at a glance, the wariness in his eyes didn’t disappear at all.

“Why are you so wary of me?” Wu Ning asked. The soldier’s excessive wariness had aroused Wu Ning’s curiosity.

It must be known that there were many martial artists from the human race entering the outer realm battlefields. There were people who went to the outer realm battlefields every day like Wu Ning. The extra vigilance was rather unusual.

Unless something happened in Barren Rock City, or if there was something wrong with him, he had not noticed it.

“Because I am unable to determine your identity,” that soldier said bluntly. “Although you appear to be a martial artist with only the cultivation of Level 9 Void Training Realm, you can see through my cultivation with a glance… I can’t confirm the true level of your cultivation.”

“But I am a human. There is no doubt about this.” Wu Ning said.

That soldier shook his head and said, “There are many ways for an alien cultivator to conceal their own aura and disguise themself as a human. If your true cultivation is lower than mine, I can be sure that you are a human, but as long as you conceal your aura, I can not be sure.”

It was precisely because of this that he was so vigilant the moment he heard Wu Ning mention his cultivation.

When Wu Ning heard it, he smiled helplessly. He had only said it casually and did not expect to come off in an unintended manner.

The soldier continued, “Although I am very willing to believe that you are a warrior of our human race, we have to be vigilant and not make any mistakes during the curfew. Otherwise, millions of human lives in Barren Rock City are in danger. So before I can confirm your identity, I can’t let you into the city. Please return after the curfew is lifted and look for me then. I, Gu Liao, will apologize to you personally.”

Wu Ning shook his head and said, “There’s no need for that. You guys are just doing your job.”

If Wu Ning had been a little dissatisfied with Gu Liao before, he had nothing but respect for the soldier now.

Gu Liao was truly an outstanding soldier. His ability to carry out his duties was a blessing for the millions of people in Barren Rock City.

Gu Liao cupped his fists towards Wu Ning. “Thank you for your understanding.” Although he was still wary towards Wu Ning, it was much better than before.

Wu Ning was about to wave his hand and bid him farewell when he suddenly stopped. Gu Liao’s expression also turned cold.

“Those b*stards came whenever they can. It wasn’t even two years when the army left!” Gu Liao could not help but curse. He then turned to Wu Ning and said, “Wu Ning, right? Although I can’t let you enter the city, I can’t allow you to be in danger. You’ll have to follow me and I’ll guarantee your safety, but you mustn’t do anything. Otherwise, I’ll kill you immediately. Or, you can leave now.”

As soon as Gu Liao finished speaking, a large group of warriors that looked similar to humans flew over from Wu Ning’s side. However, their auras were different from a human’s.

There were more than a thousand warriors in that group. All of them were demon warriors.

“Don’t worry about me. I won’t enter the city,” Wu Ning replied. However, his eyes remained fixated on those demon warriors. This was the first time Wu Ning had seen a demon warrior.

“Take care,” Gu Liao said to Wu Ning. Then, he quickly returned to Barren Rock City with the group of soldiers.

“The demon race is attacking…”

“Everyone, gather at the north city gate immediately. Hurry, hurry…”

Waves of hurried voices came from Barren Rock City. Then, a large group of soldiers marched out in order. In just a moment, tens of thousands of soldiers had gathered in front of the north city gate.

“Two at Saint Realm, while most of the ordinary soldiers are at Dao Realm. The lowest cultivation is at Level 5 Void Training Realm. The strength of Barren Rock City is incredible.”

Wu Ning scanned those soldiers with his divine soul, and he had some understanding of their cultivation.

Wu Ning looked at the demon warriors again. “There are more than twenty demon warriors at Saint Realm. It seems that the cultivation of these demon warriors is rather high too.”

“Team one and two attack the demon warriors immediately. The other seven teams guard the city. We must not let any demons into the city. “In the sky, a strong man holding a saber shouted loudly.

“Understood!” Immediately, tens of thousands of soldiers answered in unison.

In the next moment, the warriors of the Saint Realm led two teams and rushed towards the demon warriors.

The rest of the soldiers stood in formation and defended the entire north gate.

The two teams of soldiers, led by two Saint Realm warriors, changed their formation, turning into a cone.

Wu Ning’s eyes lit up when he saw the white light on the bodies of the soldiers. It must be some kind of combined attack formation that gathered all the strength of the soldiers on the Saint Realm experts in front of them.

The light enveloped the entire team like a giant cone. It charged toward the demon martial artists who were flying toward them.

The demon warriors suddenly stopped. A three-eyed, tall demon cultivator rushed out from the formation.

Boom boom boom….
