“There happens to be a direct teleportation array near the Heavenly Demon Sect, and according to the information I have, it hasn’t been used today! And you came from Northern County City! The Heavenly Demon Sect has been closed off for a long time, and there are no disciples wandering outside!”

As he spoke, he fiddled with a ball of white light, seemingly checking something.

This object is also called a 'handball'.

It is the masterpiece of the 'Lord of the City'. Its range is approximately the area covered by Canghai City. Users only need to input their spiritual power to freely access information shared by others.

"Be lenient with confession, strict with resistance!"

The man's tone became more serious, emphasizing his words.

Huang Quan was somewhat surprised, as this did not match what he had heard: "Doesn't Canghai Academy emphasize education for all? Why are they questioning us so thoroughly?"

The man explained somewhat impatiently, "You seem to know quite a bit about this. But while there's the principle of education for all, there are rules and regulations. This is your first time entering the city, and I need to issue you a 'Cultivation Certificate'! Without a 'Cultivation Certificate,' you won't be able to move an inch in Canghai City!"

A certificate of spiritual practice?

Huang Quan can understand its function just by hearing its name.

Is this fellow villager really that good at having fun?

He fell into silent contemplation.

A crisp sound broke the deadlock.

"what happened?"

A vibrant fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl walked towards the two of them.

The young man's eyes lit up: "Hmm? Senior Sister Liu, you've come at the right time. This man said he's a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, do you remember him?"

Upon hearing the words "Heavenly Demon Sect," Liu Xiyao's eyes, as clear as autumn water, glared fiercely at Huang Quan. She bit her cherry-red lips lightly, her cheeks puffing out slightly, and her voice rose several octaves: "Heavenly? Demon? Sect?"

Before she could finish speaking, she grabbed Huang Quan's spiritual vein with one hand, circulated her true energy to invade his body, and tried to probe the truth of the matter.

Generally speaking, using spiritual energy to invade another person's body is a very impolite act, and it is also extremely risky. It is mostly used for interrogation or when the two parties have an irreconcilable deep-seated hatred.

If one's spiritual power is far superior to the opponent's, one can easily control the opponent's life and death, or the spiritual power can rampage through the opponent's body, tearing apart spiritual veins and making them wish they were dead.

If one's strength is inferior to that of the opponent, it is easy for the opponent's spiritual power to 'turn the tables' and have the opposite effect.

Regardless of the outcome, the consequences range from minor injury to death.

It is a kind of unorthodox method with extremely low practicality.

Liu Xiyao's spiritual power cultivation was only at the first level. In fact, her spiritual power was completely devoured the moment it was poured into Huang Quan's body.

The powerful spiritual energy of the Nirvana Realm felt it had been provoked and defiantly retaliated.

However, the moment the spiritual energy touched Liu Xiyao's palm, it crumbled and dissipated into the world.

She looked angry and had no sense of the potential backlash.

"It's not the Heavenly Demon Sect's cultivation method, but that makes sense. The Heavenly Demon Sect has been closed off for a long time, making it one of the easiest sects for rogue cultivators to impersonate. Actually, there's no need for that. The Canghai Academy doesn't look at your background; everyone is equal. There's absolutely no need to fabricate lies to elevate your status. Your status doesn't matter; you can't be higher than the 'Academy Master' anyway."

Liu Xiyao's expression softened slightly, and she began to analyze the situation logically and clearly.

The young gatekeeper, seeing the scene before him, couldn't help but slap his head and sighed helplessly, "Little rascal, what trouble have you caused again... I was just asking if you'd seen this person before. Who told you to touch him? Do you know how strong you are? Third or fourth-tier demonic beasts are no match for you."

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Liu Xiyao also noticed her loss of composure.

Hearing the words "Heavenly Demon Sect" triggered her instinctive reaction, and she attacked without considering the consequences.

He hurriedly and awkwardly apologized.

Judging from the other person's appearance, he was not much older than her, and she estimated that he was at most at the third or fourth level. If she were to strike him, he would definitely cause serious injury.

"Please don't report me for intentionally assaulting someone and deduct my credits..."

She felt embarrassed, and her voice became intermittent and faint due to the sudden surge of guilt.

The young man smiled and waved his hand: "Senior Liu, you can continue patrolling the streets. I was the one who stopped him, so I'll deduct my credits to treat him. You can keep your credits. Weren't you planning to raise 10,000 credits to hire some instructors to search for Instructor Jiang's whereabouts?"

The young man's words only made things worse, and Liu Xiyao's face darkened further: "Sister Jiang... because of my disappearance... I feel like I owe her more and more."

It is said that girls change a lot as they grow up, and Liu Xiyao's changes were not that exaggerated, but Huang Quan really did not recognize her as the little girl that the old cripple had led back then.

Her dazed appearance, dirty face, and tattered clothes back then are a stark contrast to her current energetic self.

Huang Quan didn't recognize him, but that doesn't mean...

A little dragon-man jumped onto the spirit fox's head, grabbed its two ears and complained, "Your other self, you still look as stupid as ever after all this time! Damn it, if I hadn't been separated from you back then, I would have devoured your soul by now!"

Chapter Fifty: You said the same thing last time.

Huang Quan's eyes flashed with an unusual light.

He turned his head and glanced at his own shoulder.

The white fox was sleeping peacefully.

Recently, she has been falling into a deep sleep more and more frequently.

If I'm not mistaken, they're preparing to take human form.

Men just love the sense of accomplishment that comes from raising someone from scratch.

The little dragon noticed Huang Quan's gaze.

She flapped her little wings, did a dragon roll, and escaped back into the bones.

"Phew, I almost got caught. Creatures with tails on the front are so sensitive! Luckily, they can't see me with the naked eye! One day, I'll grab his tail and teach him a lesson."

Liu Xiyao looked at the other person with a bewildered expression, which was rather cute: "Are you really alright? I'm very strong. The Lord of the Manor said that I have a special constitution. I only need to eat the flesh of demonic beasts to transform and grow into the power of my body with an astonishing efficiency. Ugh... But I need to save up credits recently and I can't afford to eat anymore."

She could injure third- or fourth-tier demonic beasts with brute force, but demonic beasts are known for their sturdy physiques, while most cultivators are characterized by high attack, high agility, and low health. Even those at the fifth level might not have the same physical strength as third- or fourth-tier demonic beasts.

Therefore, she felt that what she had just experienced was an unbearable weight.

Huang Quan shook his arm to indicate that he was perfectly fine: "I'm okay, it can't hurt me."

The young man looked at Huang Quan's outstretched arm with a surprised expression; it seemed he was quite skilled with his hands.

"Alright, since you have no problems, please come with us. You are suspected of concealing your identity and illegally entering the city. You need to verify your identity at your own expense. If the verified identity does not match the reported identity, you will be detained for seven days. When you come out, you can receive your 'Cultivation Certificate'. Of course, you can also pretend you have never been to Canghai City and leave."

Huang Quan wasn't flustered at all. His identity was completely verifiable; it was just a matter of going through the formalities.

"Verifying her identity is not a problem, but may I ask if this young girl has any grudge against the Heavenly Demon Sect? She gritted her teeth as soon as I mentioned that I was from the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"Senior Sister Liu? Actually, it's not a big grudge. It's just that she cut open her chest and dug out her bones to give to the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect. When Senior Sister Liu came, the Sect Master was alarmed and said that if it weren't for this accident, her cultivation path would have directly reached the Heavenly Monarch level. If you ask me, it would only be a matter of life and death."

"Oh...wait, what did you guys just say?"

"Please come with us... seven days of detention."

"I was talking about her, the very first sentence."

Please don't report me for malicious assault and deduct my academic credits.

Huang Quan clutched his arm, a pained expression on his face: "I was just showing off. This hand is probably ruined. I'm going to report you for malicious assault and have my credits deducted."

I heard earlier that she seems to really need credits lately, which might cause her to fall behind?

The young man gave a helpless smile: "Then detain me, but please come with us. The detention center will give you seven days of the best treatment. Please verify your identity. Canghai City does not welcome scoundrels who cannot see the light of day."

Huang Quan: "?"

Good heavens, so this is where he was set up all along?

He felt that the dragon bone, which was strung with copper coins, was a little hot to the touch.

killed?

Putting aside whether they can actually kill them, the Heavenly Demon Sect did wrong the other party first, and they shouldn't be the ones to accuse the villain first.

Besides, causing trouble on the territory of Canghai Academy, isn't that slapping the face of our 'fellow townsmen'?

Although Huang Quan was not afraid of his opponent, as the Immortal Shield made him virtually invincible, he lacked the means to break through the Heavenly Monarch's defenses, so the match was only even.

He rolled his eyes and whispered in the girl's ear, "I'm Jiang Wanyu's friend."

Liu Xiyao took a step back as if startled, and stared at him with wide eyes: "Do you think I'm easy to fool? I know most of Sister Wanyu's friends."

Huang Quan didn't give her a chance to back down and took another step forward, continuing in a low voice, "She likes to bite with her canine teeth when she eats."

"Who are you? I've never heard Sister Wanyu mention you before?"

The wariness in Liu Xiyao's eyes lessened considerably, and she wrinkled her nose, revealing a threatening expression.

Huang Quan, with a "let's take a gamble" mentality, asked: "Huang Fugui?"

"You...you came here..." Liu Xiyao's face suddenly turned pale, her lips trembled, and she dared not meet Huang Quan's eyes, swallowing back the half-sentence she could not hear.

She turned around, snatched the token from the young man's hand, and began recording information on it.

"A rogue cultivator, Huang Fugui, at the Breaking Army Realm."

"This isn't quite in accordance with the rules..."

The young man was both amused and exasperated; he had no idea why Liu Xiyao's attitude had changed so drastically from one moment to the next.

"I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong, and if you have any complaints, I'll beat you up."

She grabbed Huang Quan and pulled him away, saying, "Come on, let's find a quiet place to talk."

……

The two walked along the river in silence, one in front of the other.

Just as Liu Xiyao was wondering how to start the conversation, she heard a child crying in the distance, which immediately drew her attention.

A little girl, about seven or eight years old, was crying on a tree that was three meters tall. Two little boys next to her were making faces and mocking her: "Crybaby! Hehehe."

Liu Xiyao walked up with a menacing look, instantly frightening the two unruly children into not daring to move.

Not to mention the two unruly children, even Huang Quan could feel a faint but powerful pressure.

Instead of scolding the two unruly children, she restrained her imposing manner, bent down gently, and wiped away the little girl's tears: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Huang Quan was somewhat surprised. Was this gentle-looking person the same one from before?

"Waaah, they got my yellow mouse kite stuck in a tree."

"It's alright, I've got your back."
