Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1356

1356 Southern Stronghold

After traveling for several more days, Tian Yang and Huang Xiao Li finally encountered something that wasn't a magical beast.

"Excuse me! Do you know where the nearest city is located?" Tian Yang approached a cultivator who had just finished defeating a magical beast.

However, this cultivator immediately became wary of him and went into a combative stance.

Tian Yang quickly raised his hand when he saw this, and he tried to assure the cultivator that they meant no harm, "Please wait. We are not here to harm you. We're simply lost."

Unsurprisingly, the cultivator did not even twitch at his words and remained wary.

They were currently on the Desolate Continent, where laws do not apply and only one rule applies the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak.

In this world, it was a common occurrence for cultivators to engage in acts of murder and theft. Those lacking the strength to protect themselves would inevitably fall victim to exploitation.

lightsvl m Tian Yang was well aware of this rule, but they were not in a position to ignore another human after spending an entire week wandering and lost in this dangerous land.

"Hah! Do I really look that stupid to you?! You say you're lost? That's funny, considering that the nearest city is only a mile from here!" The cultivator sneered in disdain.

"Really? Is that true?" Tian Yang was pleasantly surprised to learn this information.

"I must admit, you are pretty good at acting. If I was even a little dumber, I would've believed you!" The cultivator said.

Tian Yang was speechless, but he didn't bother attempting to convince the cultivator otherwise, having already obtained the information he needed.

He turned around and returned to Huang Xiao Li, "The city is only a mile away."

"That's great! I can finally clean myself!" she shed blissful tears imagining herself in a bathtub.

Tian Yang proceeded to carry her into the air before flying towards the city, leaving the cultivator dumbfounded.

"Were they truly lost?" he mumbled to himself.

They had tried searching from the air a few days ago, but they didn't see anything, even attracting the attention of several flying magical beasts, an experience that nearly cost them their lives, so they avoided entering the air from that point forth.

Now that he was aware of a nearby city, Tian Yang didn't have to worry about any flying magical beasts, as magical beasts tend to avoid the cities.

Sometime later, Tian Yang arrived at the city, which happened to be the Southern Stronghold, a conclusion he had come to days before after only encountering magical beasts between the level of Spirt Lord and Spirit King.

"The city isn't as safe as one might think, so stay close to me even when we are inside." Tian Yang warned.

"Okay." Huang Xiao Li immediately grabbed onto his robe like a child who didn't want to separate from their parent in a crowded street, an action that had become a habit of hers.

Tian Yang entered the city shortly. Since it was a city owned by nobody, there was no need to pay entrance fees like one normally would.

"Let's find a place to clean ourselves before we look for any information about your family." Tian Yang suggested.

"Let's," she immediately agreed.
