1192. Yellow Wind City

Li Mu stopped and turned to look.

"What's the matter?"

he asked.

The leader of the disciples of the Slave Immortal in black, about thirty years old, with an ordinary face, looked at Li Mu and his party up and down, walked over, and asked: "Who are you? Where are you from?"

Li Mu said calmly: "I am a wandering beast tamer named Mu Mu. He is from Dongshengzhou. He disappeared after chasing a rouge cracking cloud beast and happened to pass by here."

"Oh? Tamer?"

The leader of the slave immortals in black looked at Li Mu, followed by a tiger and a dog. He believed it eight points at first, and then he saw a burly follower, and he believed it another two points.

"Huangfeng City is the refuge of the Taoist Sect. There have been frequent wars recently, and there are often spies from other sects wandering around. Do you have any guidance from the Taoist Sect on your body?"

The leader of the slaves in black asked again.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "I came in a hurry and haven't processed it yet."

"Oh?" The leader of the slaves in black sneered and shouted: "Come here, catch this spy for me."

Several black-clothed slave immortals around lazily handed them over, pointing the spears of the broken immortal weapons in their hands at Li Mu and others.

The surrounding immortals entering and exiting the city suddenly looked frightened and stayed away from him.

Yuan Ho raised his eyebrows and was about to take action.

At this time, the leader of the black-clothed slave immortals sneered again and said: "However, I think you are new here and don't understand the rules. It's possible. Let's do this. I'll be more generous, Mu Mu, right? You can do it." How about paying some immortal money and I can provide you with a guide for you?"

As he said that, he smiled strangely at Li Mu.

After Li Mu was stunned for a moment, his heart became clear.

This is asking for property.

How come we arrived in the fairy world? It was completely different from the image of immortals walking around in our imagination. Instead, it was filled with a philistine atmosphere, more like we had arrived in the rude and barbaric feudal ancient times.

The leader of the slaves in black was clearly looking for an excuse to extort money.

The word "money" came out of the immortal's mouth, making Li Mu dumbfounded.

This immortal must be too down-to-earth.

Li Mu probably guessed that immortal money should be the currency circulated among immortals.

But he had none of it.

"Well, I don't have the fairy money. I don't know if this thing can be replaced."

Li Mu said, taking out half a piece of defective immortal crystal the size of a child's palm.

"Xianjing?"

The expression of the black-clothed slave immortal leader suddenly changed, and his breathing became rapid.

He hurriedly took it and said with a smile: "Of course, of course, haha, Mr. Mu Mu, you can see that he comes from a famous family and spends a lot of money. Please come into the city. Haha, you are now supplying and settling in the city. Lu Yin It will be delivered later.”

His attitude suddenly became extremely humble.

The rogue tiger on earth despised in his heart.

This ability to change his face when seeing money is simply better than mine.

Li Mu said: "That's it, thank you very much."

"Haha, you're welcome. It's my destiny to get to know Master Mu Mu." The leader of the slave immortals in black was extremely polite and said with a flattering smile: "My name is Zhou Liang, and he is an outer disciple of the Taoist Sect. Captain of the city guard, if you have anything to do in Huangfeng City, you can come to me at any time."

Li Mu nodded and led Yuan Hou and others into the city.

Zhou Liang put away half of the defective immortal crystal, and the flattering smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Looking at the backs of Li Mu and others, he whispered to himself: "Looking at this Mu Mu's appearance, he shouldn't be a spy from the Sword Making Pavilion. He really looks like a lost animal tamer who is chasing a strange beast. It's just that You are so generous, throwing away a piece of immortal crystal is worth the resources that I have spent working hard to guard the gate for three to five years, hehe..."

He waved and said to another slave in black beside him: "Find some new faces and go to the city to keep an eye on this Mu Mu and see what he is doing. If there is any movement, report to me at any time."

"yes."

…

The situation in Huangfeng City is a little more energetic than it looks from the outside.

The streets are fairly neat.

The buildings on both sides are mostly made of earth and stone.

The streets were full of potholes and without paving stones, and the wind was howling and sand was flying.

There are a lot of pedestrians, but most of them look poor.

There are vendors on the streets, selling things such as infused ores, herbs, broken immortal weapons, incomplete cultivation secrets, weapons and armor... and so on.

Li Mu glanced at it casually and lost interest.

Nothing good.

The people and things in this city can be summed up in just one word -

poverty.

There are also poor people and poor people in the fairy world.

Li Mu vaguely felt that the atmosphere in this city was strange.

It's like everyone is guarding against everyone else, and it's like everyone is eyeing everyone else as if they were prey.

An unstable factor is circulating in the air.

And he also noticed something - there were no restaurants or restaurants in the city.

There is only one inn.

The name Li Mu is very familiar——

Yuelai Inn.

Yes, those are the four words that often appear in various martial arts novels and movies and TV series that Li Mu has read on Earth.

There are many shops selling weapons, armor, elixirs, and various training and combat equipment.

But there are also Taoist signs hanging at the door.

It seems that most of them are Taoism's "government-run industries".

Li Mu went into several shops to take a look, but he saw that the products sold were all defective products of extremely low quality. However, the waiters and bosses in the shop had arrogant attitudes, as if they were willing to buy or not.

After wandering around the city for half an hour, Li Mu visited many places, talked to different people, and got a rough idea of ​​the surrounding situation.

Huangfeng City is a quiet town, with a permanent population of no more than 10,000 and a small floating population.

The sect that rules this place is the Immortal Sect called Taoist Sect.

Although the immortal hawkers in the city were quite in awe of the Taoist sect, Li Mu also roughly judged that this Taoist sect was inferior to the major sects of the thirty-six advance teams that entered the chaotic world.

In other words, not in line.

Just a small sect.

Within the area ruled by Taoism, there are "one big city" and "seven small cities".

Huangfeng City is one of the Seven Small Cities.

The largest city is Liusha City, where the Taoist sect's headquarters is located, which is about 100,000 miles away.

This place belongs to the Yuechuan Mansion among the thirty-six mansions of Dongshengzhou. Before the Immortal Collapse era, it was also a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. After the Immortal Collapse, the environment was destroyed, everything was withered, sand and rocks were flying, and it became worse than before.

The Taoist Sect was a small and unpopular sect in Yuechuan Mansion.

Sects like Taoist Sect, in Yuechuan Mansion, there are not only one thousand, but also eight hundred. They attack and fight against each other, competing for territory, population, and resources. Old sects are constantly being destroyed and new sects appear.

The change of old and new is a common thing.

It took Taoist Sect three hundred years to establish its sect before it managed to gain a firm foothold and acquire the territory of "one big city" and "seven small cities".

In recent years, the resources within the Dao Sect's territory have become increasingly scarce, several mineral deposits have been exhausted, and the number of immortals under its rule has also been decreasing day by day. The losses have been serious. Even with several tax increases, it is insufficient to support the cultivation of the sect's senior leaders. The only option was to start the war again, and a war broke out with another neighboring sect, the Sword-casting Pavilion.

At this time, Taoist Sect's territory was in a state of war.

So I was extremely wary of unfamiliar faces like Li Mu.

"I didn't expect that the order of this immortal world would be so chaotic. The large and small sects were fighting against each other, and the wars were endless. The wilderness was thousands of miles away, and there were countless casualties. It was a completely chaotic world."

Li Mu heard the news from everywhere, and when he gathered it together, he suddenly felt bad.

What kind of fairyland is this?

This is a Shura killing hell.

In comparison, which one of the Earth, Ziwei Star Realm, Light Star Realm, and Chaos World is not better than the Fairy World?

At least there's order.

There are rules.

The fairy world is completely a chaotic and disorderly killing world where strength is completely respected.

No wonder those advance teams from the fairy world immediately started capturing creatures, killing, extracting vitality, seizing resources, and capturing slaves after they arrived in the chaotic world... They were all so poor and crazy.

"I don't know if it's just Yuechuan Mansion that's so barren, or if it's the entire East Saint Continent, as well as Nantian Continent, Xijing Continent, and Beiluan Continent. The Immortal World is really poor."

Li Mu sighed.

After he got the necessary information, he had no intention of staying here any longer.

Huangfeng City is too small to accommodate Li Mu's plan.

However, just when Li Mu bought several maps of Yuechuan Mansion, compared them, and was about to leave, the captain of the city gate guard named Zhou Liang came to find them in person.

"Haha, Master Mu Mu, you can give me a good meal."

Zhou Liang came up to say hello with a flattering smile on his face.

"Captain Zhou came just in time. You don't know where I will lead, but it's already done?" Li Mu responded casually.

Zhou Liang looked apologetic and quickly explained: "That's why I came here. Nowadays, there are frequent wars. The sect has ordered to strengthen its defenses. The road management is much stricter than in the past. The Lord of the City is in the mansion at this time. Sir, please come over and tell me, and I will personally provide you with directions."

"oh?"

Li Mu's heart moved.

He glanced at Zhou Liang and said, "In that case, please ask Captain Zhou to lead the way."

"My lord please."

Zhou Liang led the way.

A moment.

Arrive at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

This Huangfeng City is barren and dilapidated, but the city lord's mansion is quite luxurious.

There were twenty slave immortal guards in black lined up on the left and right of the door.

Zhou Liang led Li Mu in, passed through the front courtyard, and arrived at the meeting hall.

A young man who looks quite young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with fair face and handsome face, wearing regular clothes, is sitting behind the case, smiling slightly, talking to a young woman next to him.

Of course, the longevity of an immortal cannot be judged from his appearance.

This young man may be an old man who is tens of thousands of years old, maybe.

Zhou Liang walked over and loudly reported: "Sir, we have been brought here."

Li Mu entered the lobby.

The young man's eyes fell on Li Mu, and with a slight glance, he said with a rather scornful tone: "Are you the animal trainer from out of town?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Exactly."

"Oh, I didn't know that you were born in the beast-taming fairy sect?" the young palace master asked again.

Li Mu said: "No sect, no sect, just a casual cultivator."

"really?"

"really."

"How dare you, in this courtroom, how dare you speak nonsense?" After the young palace master asked, he shouted loudly and sneered: "You are obviously a spy sent by Zhujian Pavilion to spy on intelligence, here you come. , get it for me."
