Even though Fire Beacon City was located at the border and was in chaos all year round, it was also located at the intersection of three countries. Hidden dragons hid and evil people lived in seclusion, so it was always this lively. Every day, there would be cultivators wearing different clothes with different appearances and skin types entering the city.
"Buzz!"
Early in the morning, the bell in the city issued nine consecutive loud sounds. The four gigantic city gates opened to signify the arrival of a new day.
The streets were still shrouded in mist, and the doors of the buildings on both sides were closed. The owners inside were still cultivating, hoping to reach a higher immortal realm.
Morning was the best time to cultivate.
Feng Feiyun was staying in an ordinary inn. He had been hiding in Fire Beacon City for three days without leaving his room.
Three days had passed and Fire Beacon City was still as calm as before. Xiao Nuolan also didn't come looking for him; it was a bit too calm. Even though he was very wary of Xiao Nuolan, Feng Feiyun could no longer hide.
One-third of the nine days had passed, so he had to go find Zuo Qianshou. Otherwise, even if he could wait, the sisters of the Ji family couldn't wait either.
"The cultivation world of the Grand Southern Prefecture is truly changing. The Evil Woman is truly too frightening, and the Ancient Corpse Army is truly powerful. In just a short span of ten days, not only did they capture Violet Firmament Ancient City, they also captured four great counties. The Hundred Ridge County, Heaven Dou County, Yellow Mud County, and Three River County have all turned into dead lands with corpses everywhere. Blood flowed for thousands of miles, and corpses piled up into mountains."
"The dead are no doubt fine, but for the living, living in a city full of corpses, it is truly hell."
"Even the Feng Clan, the Qin Clan, the Dayan Gate, the Violet Cloud Cavern … These top powers were all defeated. More than half of their elder level experts died. I'm afraid only by mobilizing the Godly Martial Army of the Godly Jin Dynasty would they be able to fight against the Evil Woman. Otherwise, in at most one year, the entire Grand Southern Prefecture will become a land of death."
Feng Feiyun passed by a street corner and saw a few cultivators from the Tiandu County. They were sitting in a wine shop and were discussing the recent events at the Grand Southern Prefecture.
There was another group of young people sitting next to him. One of them regretfully sighed and said: "The number one beauty of the Supreme Beauty Pavilion, Nangong Hongyan, is like a goddess. Today, she will go to Peach Mountain with Young Noble Flawless to admire the flowers and make friends through poetry. This is her first time going out with someone."
"Rumor has it that she is no less beautiful than the sixth-ranked beauty two years ago. Her cultivation is at first-level Heaven's Mandate, a goddess in this world. Only a grand historical genius like Young Noble Flawless would be qualified to be courted by her and travel with her."
"Young Noble Flawless also has the support of a super ruthless person. Her real goal might be that person."
"That makes sense. Rumor has it that the sixth-ranked beauty helped Nangong Hongyan, but she was captured by the Beauty's Smile Pavilion and forced to become one of their pillars. Maybe Nangong Hongyan wants to borrow the power of Young Noble Flawless to save the sixth-ranked beauty."
"These are only rumors. The truth is that there is nothing wrong with Nangong Hongyan being together with Young Noble Flawless. A talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match."
Feng Feiyun slowly walked past the wine shop with a mysterious smile on his face. These people were only looking at the surface. The competition for benefits in the cultivation world was very fierce. Anyone who was successful in cultivation was not a fool and would strive for the greatest benefit for themselves.
Whether it was the earth-shattering change at the Grand Southern Prefecture or Nangong Hongyan and Young Noble Flawless drinking wine together, these were only symbols on the surface. Ordinary cultivators would not be able to understand the deeper meaning behind it.
These things had nothing to do with Feng Feiyun. He followed the old undying Third Boss and found Zuo Qianshou's residence.
This place was located in the slums of Fire Beacon City. It was filled with small houses and hundreds of thousands of cultivators from all walks of life. This place was very chaotic. Some of the walls still had corpses that were just killed last night, and some of the ditches had broken arms and legs floating in the air, bringing with it a bit of blood.
Feiyun stepped into the broken alleyway. The ground was full of dried blood. The pungent smell of blood permeated his nose. It was clear that this place was a common place for murder and bloodshed.
"Creak!"
A wooden door next to him opened and a big man with a ferocious face came out with a perverted smile. He was half-naked and looked at the pretty girl inside the wooden door: "You little hussy, you are really coquettish. Tomorrow, I'll come and pamper you."
This big man slightly glanced at Feng Feiyun. His round eyes flashed a few glimmers. He felt that Feng Feiyun had an unusual aura and knew that the other party was not a fat sheep to mess with, so he hummed a little tune and left.
An early Immortal Foundation cultivator, the people in Fire Beacon City were indeed not ordinary. Feng Feiyun secretly thought.
"Little Brother, you are so handsome. Do you want a round? Only twenty silver coins."
The pretty girl inside the wooden door was around fifteen or sixteen years old. Her appearance could be considered top class. There was a spirit light flowing around her body; it was clear that she was also an immortal cultivator.
She threw flirtatious glances at Feng Feiyun. The clothes on her white shoulders were still a bit messy, but she had already started to solicit customers.
Two flames appeared in Feng Feiyun's eyes. He only glanced at her once, but it immediately caused her body to tremble. Her face turned pale as she quickly closed the door in fear.
Feng Feiyun's cultivation frightened her. An expert of this level was not someone she could seduce, and other people wouldn't like her either.
Feng Feiyun continued forward and finally arrived at Zuo Qianshou's place of residence.
According to Third Boss's description, this Zuo Qianshou was a very powerful character. In this world, there was no lock or formation that he couldn't open. Even the Godly Capital's Grand Prison couldn't trap him as he escaped from inside.
However, because of this, he had no choice but to escape to Fire Beacon City and conceal his identity.
If he wanted to open the Eight Vein Dragon Lock on Xiaonu's body, he would have to rely on this hidden master.
"Zuo Qianshou, is Senior Zuo at home?" Feng Feiyun raised his voice.
There was no sound coming from inside as if there was no one inside, but Feng Feiyun could feel the breathing of a living person inside.
"I am under the order of the Huang Feng Ridge's Third Boss to invite Senior to the ridge for a chat." Feng Feiyun spoke again.
"Bam!"
The door suddenly opened and a one-armed old man came out. He only had one left hand and was extremely old as he said: "Why did that old geezer Feng Dugu suddenly think of me? Could it be that he is still thinking about my Myriad Formation Diagram?"
The one-armed old man lifted his head and stared at Feng Feiyun. The two of them exclaimed at the same time.
"It's you, this swindler?" Feng Feiyun suddenly took one step back.
The one-armed old man, Zuo Qianshou, directly rushed forward and grabbed Feng Feiyun's clothes: "Stinky brat, do I have a swindler like you?
You swindled my Daomization Stone, now pay me back! "
This one-armed old man was the swindler who sold the Daomization Stone to Feng Feiyun at the price of one copper coin. Even now, he was still very distressed and would wail in his sleep every night.
That was a Daomization Stone ah! Even if one accumulated three generations of virtue, they still wouldn't be able to find such an immortal fate. However, the Daomization Stone clearly fell into his hands, but because of a single thought, he sold it to Feng Feiyun at such a cheap price.
Who else in this world could be more miserable than him?
"The Daomization Stone is no longer in my hands." Feng Feiyun smilingly said.
The one-armed old man naturally knew what happened later and that the Daomization Stone had changed owners, but he still couldn't swallow this anger. His heart was bleeding as he slowly let go of Feng Feiyun's clothes. He shook his head and sighed. Then, he reached out and slapped his own face: "I shouldn't have been so stingy ah!
Why did I have to meet a swindler like you? I have swindled people my entire life, but this is my first time being swindled by someone. "
"Pow!"
He slapped himself in the face again, and his heart was filled with regret.
"Senior doesn't need to be so regretful. Maybe in the future, you will be able to obtain an even better immortal treasure." Feng Feiyun had a favor to ask, so he comforted him.
"Bullshit, do you think the Daomization Stone is cabbage?
Forget it, forget it. Little Brat, what is that old thing Feng Dugu's intention? He specifically found you to trick me and then invited me to the Huang Feng Ridge to trick me again? "
Zuo Qianshou stood there trembling with a hunched back. His arms were trembling while his legs were slightly bent. It was as if he couldn't even lift his saber or walk steadily.
Feng Feiyun really doubted whether he was Zuo Qianshou or Zuo Duanshou.
"Of course not. We invited Senior to the Huang Feng Ridge because we have something to ask of you." Even though Feng Feiyun doubted the abilities of this cripple, he still respectfully said.
"Something to ask of you …" Zuo Qianshou murmured to himself. His eyes shifted, then he turned around and went inside the door, slamming it shut.
"Senior, what is the meaning of this?" Feng Feiyun asked.
"Boring, I'm not going. Little Brat, scram!
I stopped helping people a long time ago. It is useless no matter who comes to invite me. "Zuo Qianshou's voice came from inside.
