Zhou Yi pondered for a moment before continuing to inquire.
"With your level of cultivation, why hide among the common folk?"
"Demon cultists are cruel, frequently blood sacrificing mortals and disrupting the rear of the sects."
Ling Chen said, "I originally hail from Xuzhou and harbor some sentiment for my homeland, so I took on the duty of guarding external affairs, protecting the commoners of Heng City from the slaughter of demon heads."
Zhou Yi nodded in approval and asked again, "Do all cities have sect cultivators stationed in them?"
"Elder should know, cultivators who stay too long among mortals see their cultivation stagnate or even regress, so few are willing to take on this task."
