The walk towards the western side of the city's exterior was uneventful. The two travelers simply walked, and though Meng Wu was on alert - since he was on a foreign and potentially dangerous land - he couldn't stop himself from staring at the wall and towers with interest.

Meng Wu assumed that once one reaches the level of power needed to earn the title of God, such things as walls and watchtowers become meaningless, trivial things. The strongest protectors were the Gods themselves, and their presence in the city was enough to guarantee that the city would never get attacked. So why build a wall? Towers? Who would stand guard?

However, all of Meng Wu's questions were more or less answered once they reached what seemed to be the ruins of a residential area. Meng Wu could easily deduce from the architecture that the area had nothing to do with the Gods since the architecture was simpler, and the buildings were definitely something that the Gods would not build. Meng Wu realized that the area had most likely been where the servants or human warriors of the Gods lived back then.

Or it was built by humans who were not granted entrance to the city. Either way, it was manmade and that's what counted.

Suddenly, a long, eerie sound was heard from within the residential area, with the gloomy atmosphere of the environment exaggerating the situation even more.

Another sound, closer this time. Meng Wu grabbed the handle of his sword and rotated his cultivation base, getting ready for a potential battle. The sound was heard once more, this time even closer. Meng Wu's alertness was at an all time high; he would never dare underestimate the potential danger of this City of Gods. His companion seemed to be thinking the same thing, as Meng Wu saw he was also preparing for battle.

Yasuri's words rang true inside Meng Wu's mind, and he nodded without saying anything else.

He simply waited.
