Chapter 20 – Fire Cloud City
Xiao Long was quite surprised to encounter someone familiar. Wasn't the girl named Xiao Nan the one who was bullied by the chubby girl at the beginning? He didn't expect her to still be alive.
After swallowing the Soul-Reviving Pill, Xiao Long's soul power could now spread out, forming a divine sense, allowing him to see everything within a hundred meters without using his eyes.
"Hey, boss, how did I do?" Huang Mao transmitted proudly.
"Not bad. Now go ask for directions as I instructed."
"Yes!"
Xiao Nan was still in shock until her senior sister pulled her back to reality. The two of them bowed to the masked man in front and repeatedly thanked him, "Thank you, senior, for saving us!"
"No need to be so polite. I'm a wandering warrior from the Barbarian Kingdom. Could you tell me the way to the nearest main city?" Huang Mao's voice was muffled and deep.
"Barbarian Kingdom!" The two were taken aback.@@novelbin@@
In the Great Wilderness State of the Southern Barbarian Domain, there were countless countries, with the most famous being the Barbarian Kingdom. Its size was unknown, but it was many times larger than the Tianfeng Kingdom, filled with sects and experts, truly a three-star empire.
Besides the Barbarian Kingdom, the Great Wilderness State had four other three-star empires and 32 two-star empires. The one-star empires were too numerous to count, likely over a hundred.
As for the Tianfeng Kingdom, it was just one of the many one-star empires, but with four major one-star sects, it was considered the top of the one-star empires.
However, compared to the Barbarian Kingdom, it was still like a firefly compared to the bright moon.
The two dared not delay, regardless of whether what he said was true or not. Since he saved their lives, they should tell him honestly.
"The nearest is Fire Cloud City, just head southeast for ten kilometers," Xiao Nan said.
"Fire Cloud City?" Huang Mao thought for a moment and asked, "Does it have anything to do with the Fire Cloud Sect?"
"Fire Cloud City is the garrison city of the Fire Cloud Sect. In our Tianfeng Kingdom, there are six main cities. Besides the largest imperial city, there are the garrison cities of the four major sects, and finally, Tianya City, the hub connecting the nearby three countries. This is the territory of the Fire Cloud Sect, and the nearest is Fire Cloud City," Xiao Nan explained the situation in the Tianfeng Kingdom.
Suddenly, she glanced at Huang Mao's lower body, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head, blushing furiously.
"Thanks, farewell!" Huang Mao didn't care what she thought, cupped his hands in farewell, and then headed towards Fire Cloud City.
"Sister, did you see his body?" The senior sister next to Xiao Nan couldn't help but ask when she saw her blushing.
"Yes." Xiao Nan nodded, still feeling a bit uncomfortable. Fortunately, the man wasn't malicious; otherwise, in this wilderness, if he had done something to them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"It's the first time I've seen one so big. Are all men from the Barbarian Kingdom this impressive?" The senior sister looked up at the sky, her eyes flickering, lost in thought.
...
"Boss, can you get me a pair of loose pants? My tail is uncomfortable!"
"Shut up! These pants are already the biggest. If you keep whining, I'll chop your tail off!"
Frightened, Huang Mao quickly shut his mouth. His tail squirmed inside the pants, not knowing where to go, finally wrapping around his waist twice like a belt, but it was still noticeable, so he decided to ignore it.
After walking for half an hour, Huang Mao saw a massive city, surrounded by thirty-meter-high walls, entirely cast in black iron, indestructible. Above the city gate were three large characters: Fire Cloud City.
There were many people entering and leaving the city, forming a long line. Huang Mao stood at the end of the crowd.
Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a mask, dressed in a large robe, he looked like a bandit. People in line kept their distance, knowing such people had strange tempers and might kill at the slightest disagreement.
"Hey! Take off the mask, let me see!" When it was Huang Mao's turn to enter the city, the guard stopped him.
Following Xiao Long's instructions, Huang Mao grabbed two lower-grade spirit stones and tossed them to the guard.
"Is that enough?" Huang Mao's cold voice came out, accompanied by a terrifying, chilling killing intent.
Of course, this killing intent was released by Xiao Long.
The guard was about to extort more, but feeling the cold, fierce intent, he shivered and thought it best not to provoke such a ruthless person.

So he impatiently waved his hand.
"Get lost!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Long let out a cold snort, sending an invisible wave of inner Qi that made the guard feel like his chest was about to explode. It took him a while to catch his breath, and when he looked again, Huang Mao was nowhere to be seen.
"What a terrifying person!" The guard was still in shock.
Fire Cloud City, worthy of being the garrison city of the Fire Cloud Sect, had towering buildings, grand and imposing. The wide streets were bustling with people, and shopkeepers were loudly shouting and selling, presenting a scene of prosperity.
Xiao Long didn't feel much; this small place couldn't even compare to a restroom in his Burning Heaven Dragon Palace. But Huang Mao was very excited, his curious eyes darting around, looking like a country bumpkin entering the city.
As he walked, he hummed a strange tune, not knowing from which mountain it originated.
"Be serious! Don't embarrass me!" Xiao Long scolded.
Chastised by Xiao Long, Huang Mao straightened up.
As they walked, martial artists occasionally passed by. Xiao Long sensed that most were above the third level of the Body Refining Realm, but there were very few in the Qi Condensing Realm; he hadn't encountered one yet.
A Qi Condensing Realm martial artist could be a core disciple in the Fire Cloud Sect, and an elder could serve as a deacon. In Fire Cloud City, they were considered significant figures.
Huang Mao was currently a ninth-level demon beast. Due to the special nature of his cultivation method, his aura was equivalent to that of a human at the tenth level of the Body Refining Realm. Coupled with his appearance, many people kept their distance, maintaining a respectful gaze.
Feeling the eyes on him, Huang Mao couldn't help but puff out his chest, striding forward with a bit of pride.
"Boss, in the human world, it's all about having the strongest fist," Huang Mao chuckled.
"Shut up!" Xiao Long couldn't help but curse.
At this moment, they noticed a crowd gathered at a corner ahead, with a picture posted on the wall. People were discussing something.
Huang Mao walked over and saw that the picture on the wall depicted a fox, three snakes, and a Vajra Ape.
The fox was Xiao Bai, the three snakes were Xiao Long, Da Hei, and Er Hei, and the Vajra Ape was Huang Mao.
The picture bore three large words: Wanted Poster.
Below the wanted poster were their notorious deeds, claiming they were ruthless, causing chaos, slaughtering civilians, killing many elders of the Fire Cloud Sect, and even alleging that the Vajra Ape assaulted female disciples of the Fire Cloud Sect. It was a full page of fabricated accusations, painting them as heinous criminals.
Xiao Long didn't feel much, but Huang Mao's eyes widened, almost jumping up.
"Boss! They're framing me!" Huang Mao was so angry his fur stood on end.
"How can they say that! I would never lay a hand on a human woman! That's impossible!"
What do you think?
