“Of course, I can! Follow me,” Rainah said with a smile and a nod.
“But sis, I still want to play a little longer,” Bastian whined. “We hardly ever get to come out. Once we’re home, you know Mom and Dad won’t let us out again!”
“You’ve got a lot of nerve,” Rainah said, clearly irritated. “If those three hadn’t been part of the beast race, you’d be in serious trouble right now. I brought you out to see the lower realm, and now l’m definitely getting scolded when we get back!”
Right after scolding him, favonovel.com traced a circle in the air again and led Bastian through it.
Seeing that, Jared and the others hurried after them.
The moment they stepped through, a strange lightness filled their bodies, and just like that, they were five hundred kilometers away.
Rainah kept drawing more circles in the air, and with each one, Jared and the others did interspatial travel again and again.
In just a few breaths, they arrived at the base of a towering mountain range. The lush meadows were gone now, replaced by vast plains of bare rock stretching out under their feet.
Up ahead, Jared spotted a gigantic city built right against the mountains. The sheer size of it was staggering, the city gates alone were at least three hundred meters tall.
Compared to the Twilight Imperial City in the Ethereal Realm, Rhino City was several hundred times larger, maybe even more. And in front of this enormous city was a moat nearly fifty kilometers wide. Strangely, the water in it was pitch black.
At the top of the city gate stood a gigantic rhinoceros statue. Its horn alone stretched several hundred meters.
Just looking at the place sent chills down their spines, let alone stepping inside it. Even from this distance, they could feel the overwhelming aura pulsing from within the walls.
Both Flaxseed and Reidan were pale with nerves.
The cloaking charms they wore hid their auras, but if someone powerful saw through the concealment, it’d spell disaster.
Rainah noticed the fear in their eyes and reassured them, “Relax… As long as you’re part of the beast race, people here are really friendly.”
She explained, “There are plenty of cultivators in this city who were brought here just like you. Actually, very few folks in level three were born here. My parents couldn’t ascend either, they were guided here by the heaven and earth laws. They then became wandering immortals and had children. That’s why we could inherit their immortal’s bones.”
Rainah clearly wanted to ease their nerves.
Jared and his group had only just arrived, and their cultivation levels were still low. It was natural for them to feel on edge.
“Thanks a ton,” Jared said with a grin. “If it weren’t for you, we’d probably be sleeping on the ground somewhere!”
“Oh, don’t mention it,” favonovel.com replied. “Come on, let’s head into the city!”
She waved favonovel.com arm toward the massive gate.
A beam of white light suddenly shot out from the city, enveloping Rainah. Then, three more flashes of white light landed on Jared and his companions.
As they looked ahead, they saw a massive shield slowly open in the void. Without that visual cue, they would never have realized a shield was even there. If they had just flown forward, they’d have crashed right into it.
“This is the city’s defense formation. You can’t get in unless it’s opened,” Rainah explained before leaping into the air.
Jared and the others followed behind, flying toward the city.
Flaxseed and Reidan were still incredibly tense-only Jared appeared calm. After all, the beast aura coming from Jared was the real deal.
Flanking the gate on both sides were heavily armed guard squads. As Jared and the group neared, the guards raised their weapons in salute.
The three visitors flinched, thinking they were about to be attacked.
But then, they heard the guards shout in unison, “Welcome home, Princess Rainah, Prince Bastian!”
“Princess? Prince?” Jared, Flaxseed, and Reidan all looked at one another in shock, then turned their eyes to Rainah and Bastian.
