Chu Ran arrived at the town closest to the Jiuyou Mountains.
The city wall is towering, like a majestic barrier standing between heaven and earth. Below it is the arched city gate, and above the city gate, three words are carved with spiritual power - Buluo City.
"We're finally here." Chu Ran chuckled.
She had been using her magic skills along the way, traveling day and night. The journey that originally took five days was shortened by nearly half.
Now that there was not much spiritual power left in the air sea, she raised her head and looked at the back of the town, which seemed to be a huge black shadow shrouded in clouds and mist.
That was her destination, the Jiuyou Mountains.
She was not in a hurry to go there immediately, but entered the city and planned to rest here for the night.
Buluo City is much smaller than the Imperial City, but the city is extremely lively, and it is almost rare to see carriages coming and going.
The streets and alleys are full of warriors armed with weapons, and there are countless vendors on the roadside shouting loudly.
"Low-level defensive magic circle spirit stone, an excellent self-defense item, not five thousand taels, just one thousand! One thousand! With it, any danger will not be a problem!"
The hawker shook the spiritual stone in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Chu Ran glanced at his arm. The number of spiritual stones hanging on it was at least two digits.
"Girl, do you want to buy something?" The vendor accurately caught her gaze and immediately showed his enthusiasm.
She shook her head: "No, I'll just take a look."
There are spiritual grass stalls, low-level spiritual weapon stalls, and even people selling captured low-level magical beasts.
This city seems to live dependent on the Jiuyou Mountains. Whether it is the vendors along the road, or the topics discussed in tea shops and restaurants, they are all related to there.
Chu Ran also found a vendor selling maps of the Jiuyou Mountains.
"I want one." She took out some broken silver and handed it over.
"Okay." The vendor hurriedly handed her the map.
"But guest, my map only has the front section, after the Valley of the Dead, and there is nothing on it. You'd better not go there. The Valley of the Dead is filled with monsters of level three or above, which is dangerous. Many spiritual masters have entered in the past.
, there is no return. You must be careful."
Chu Ran could see that he was sincerely advising her, and smiled slightly: "Thank you."
She reached out to take the map, but suddenly, a slender hand came from the side and grabbed the vendor's wrist fiercely.
"It hurts, it hurts!" The vendor's face turned pale with pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Chu Ran's eyes were slightly cold and he looked up along the hand.
It was a man wearing black attire and a stern face. Standing next to him was a young girl.
Behind the two of them were three entourages who were spiritual servants. It was obvious at a glance that this group was a young lady from a wealthy family who was out for training.
Seeing her looking over, Huangfu Qian immediately said: "Don't be deceived by him, this map is fake! It only has the topography of the front section of the Jiuyou Mountains, and the drawings are very sloppy and cannot be used at all! I just followed it last time
His map was gone, but he broke into a snake's den and almost died there! I didn't expect that he would dare to cheat in the city!"
She snorted and looked up at the man next to her: "Brother, please kill him to vent my anger!"
"It's unfair! All the places drawn on this map are places I have been to. How could it be fake!" The vendor kept shouting that he was wronged and tried desperately to evacuate his hands, but he only had the cultivation level of a spiritual servant, but the man in front of him was a third-grade man.
Spiritualist.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the opponent even a bit.
Huangfu Qian curled her lips: "It's not false. Why did I encounter danger and break into the snake's den?"
"The Jiuyou Mountains are inherently dangerous. Monsters are running everywhere. Wherever they go, that's beyond my control!"
The hawker felt more and more aggrieved, "Heroes, I really didn't lie to you. If you are really angry, the worst I can do is return your money to you. Is this okay?"
"Bah! Who cares about your little money! Brother, don't listen to his nonsense!" Huangfu Qian said arrogantly.
The man tightened his fingers and heard a crisp click. The hawker's wrist was actually broken by him!
Screams echoed throughout the long street.
Huangfu Qian was dissatisfied and stamped her feet: "How can it be enough if only one of his hands is disabled? I almost died last time! I don't care! I must let him die!"
As she said that, she actually pulled out the sword from the man's waist with her backhand. The blade was wrapped in a ball of spiritual power and stabbed towards the hawker who was screaming in agony.
A green-white hand suddenly stretched out and grasped the sword firmly.
"What are you doing!" Huangfu Qian was shocked.
The man who had been silent all this time also frowned, and his cold eyes fell on Chu Ran, showing a bit of displeasure.
"I can understand that you are angry, but he has already given you a hand, so why do you have to take his life?" Chu Ran said with a smile.
The petite body stood upright in front of the hawker, like a barrier, silently telling everyone that she had secured this person!
If you want to kill him, you have to get through her first!
She didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but the hawker had kindly advised her just now. If she accepted the favor, she would naturally save his life.
"You have to take care of my business! You woman is really ridiculous. I kindly reminded you just now to prevent you from being deceived. I don't care if you are not grateful to me. Now you are repaying kindness with enmity and preventing me from taking revenge! Your conscience has been eaten by a dog.
Are you done?" Huangfu Qian pointed at her and yelled.
The raised arc of Chu Ran's mouth gradually flattened, and his eyes were cold: "Did I ask you to help?"
"Wha...what?" Huangfuqian couldn't believe her ears, "You woman are so shameless, how can you even say such things! How did your parents teach..."
"Little sister!" the man shouted, interrupting her.
"Brother, why are you stopping me? Did I say something wrong?" Huangfu Qian asked reluctantly.
"Stop talking!"
Just now he clearly felt an extremely terrifying killing intent from this woman!
Although he couldn't figure out the depth of her cultivation, his intuition told him that if he didn't stop his sister, the consequences would be disastrous!
His sudden sternness made Huangfu Qian feel a little scared. She glared at Chu Ran angrily, but she did not dare to yell as much as before.
"Today, for the girl's sake, I will spare his life." The man said coldly.
"Your Majesty Huangfu Mingye, this is my little sister Huangfu Qian. She has a simple heart, and she just spoke nonsense because she was angry for a moment. Please don't take offense, girl."
Chu Ran slowly let go of his hand.
"You should be lucky that she didn't finish her sentence." Otherwise, she would have to let this man know what it means to have trouble come from his mouth!
Huangfu Qian's face was full of anger, and she opened her mouth to say something, but was stopped by Huangfu Mingye's look.
He glanced at Chu Ran's palm.
She obviously caught the blade with her bare hands, but there were no scars on her palms!
This person either has a terrifyingly high level of cultivation, or his control over spiritual power has reached its peak!
He didn't know which category she belonged to, but he knew in his heart that it was best not to be an enemy of her unless absolutely necessary.
"This matter is indeed my fault." He responded calmly, and then turned away: "You still don't know the girl's name?"
Chu Ran said: "I think there will be no chance of us seeing each other again in the future. It's better to avoid such things as name taboos."
For the first time in his life, he asked for someone's name, but was rejected. Huangfu Mingye couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and his tone became colder and harder: "In that case, let's just say goodbye!"
After saying that, he suddenly flicked his sleeves and strode away.
