"Yuxin. My wife, Yubing. We are wandering cultivators. We have no sect. We came to visit the city."
The guard looked suspicious.
"Just visiting?"
"Yes."
"During a city lockdown?"
"We arrived during the lockdown."
The guard looked at them for a long moment.
Then he sighed.
"Fine. Stay in the assigned guest district until the lockdown ends."
Mo Yuxin nodded.
They were led into Skyfall City.
The city was even more impressive from inside.
Markets stretched for kilometers.
Towering pavilions floated above the streets.
Cultivation academies stood beside merchant headquarters.
Sect banners filled the sky.
There were spirit beasts pulling carts, mechanical puppets carrying goods, sword cultivators flying between buildings, and ordinary people living their lives underneath it all.
It was loud.
It was chaotic.
It was enormous.
Su Yubing looked around with obvious interest.
Mo Yuxin watched her rather than the city.
Su Yubing noticed.
"What are you looking at?"
"You."
