Xiao Luo led the Duck Emperor through a colorful light curtain. He could clearly feel that he was crossing space. During the teleportation process, there was a sense of oppression. His ears were also buzzing, as if he was in a train passing through a tunnel.
After about ten breaths of time, the feeling of traveling through space gradually disappeared. It seemed to have stopped. Then, the surrounding five-colored light slowly dissipated. What came into view was a huge circular platform surrounded by high city walls. He was already standing on this circular platform.
As time passed, people appeared on this circular platform one after another. It was as if they had appeared out of thin air. They must have been teleported from various places, and this platform was a unified receiving point.
"This is Stan City. Those who are teleported shouldn't stand on the receiving platform. Leave that way. Don't obstruct the people behind you from teleporting!" A cold voice sounded.
Looking at the source of the voice, Xiao Luo saw a soldier in armor. There were many soldiers like him around. They seemed to be guarding the receiving platform and had the duty to supervise this place. When the soldier shouted, he pointed at a door. Obviously, he was asking the people who were teleported to leave through that door.
Xiao Luo didn't say anything and left with the others.
When he walked out, he saw that Stan City was really bustling …
There were pedestrians on the streets. They were either standing in front of stalls or chatting. They were dressed simply. Most of them were wearing tight sleeves and short shirts. They looked very neat. There were also men with wide sleeves. Their sleeves were also very short. Their hands hung outside the sleeves, probably to make it easier for them to pull out the sharp sword in the scabbard at their waist.
There were men in white robes walking with swords. Their long beards fluttered in the wind. They looked like peerless swordsmen. However, when they saw a juggling show on the street, they would stop to watch it with a group of girls. Then, they would clap their hands and cheer loudly. However, when the jugglers collected money one by one, they returned to their cold demeanor as peerless swordsmen. It was as if they were saying, "You need money to watch a juggling show? Why don't you go rob a bank? It's impossible to pay."
In the distance, there was a brothel. The brothel girls were showing off in the attic, inviting the pedestrians below to have fun.
"Damn it. This kind of scene seems to only exist in ancient TV dramas in the Original World." The Duck Emperor stuck its head out of Xiao Luo's pocket and looked at the world around it. It found it incredible because it was too similar to the ancient society in the original world.
Xiao Luo didn't respond. Instead, he walked up the street and found an old man who was setting up a stall. He asked, "Sir, do you know the way to the Danhui Sect?"
According to the map given to him by Zuo Xiangming, the Transmitting Formation here was in the Danhui Sect, which could directly transmit him to a place five hundred thousand kilometers away. However, the Danhui Sect was not in Stan City. Therefore, he needed to know the specific location of the Danhui Sect.
The old man was selling candy paper figurines. He looked very benevolent, but when he heard that Xiao Luo was asking for directions, the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by indifference. He said impatiently, "I don't know, I don't know. Ask someone else. Don't disturb my business. Go away!"
Xiao Luo frowned and turned to leave. He did not expect the old man to be so rude.
However, he asked several people in a row, but all of them said they didn't know and asked him to go away and not disturb their business. They even ignored the words of passers-by.
"Damn it, you don't know the ways of the world. If you ask for directions, just give them some money. I'm sure they will answer your questions enthusiastically." The Duck Emperor couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him.
Xiao Luo really forgot about this. Before he left, the Ziyue Cave gave him a lot of holy coins, which were the currency that could be used in the Arcana Land. He took out two holy coins and asked a stall for a bowl of wontons. Then, he asked for the exact location of the Danhui Sect.
"See? What did I say? Just give them some money. Money makes the world go round!"
The Duck Emperor jumped out of Xiao Luo's pocket and stood in front of the bowl to eat the wontons. Its mouth was full of soup.
"Look at you!" Xiao Luo rolled his eyes at it.
"Don't try to deny it. Even though I've been in the Chaos Dimension all this time, I know more about the ways of the world than you do. You should learn from me in the future," the Duck Emperor preached as it ate its wontons.
Seeing how much it enjoyed the wontons, Xiao Luo also felt a little hungry. He asked the stall owner for another bowl of wontons.
"Huh? Is this your pet beast?" the stall owner asked Xiao Luo curiously when he saw the miniature Duck Emperor.
Xiao Luo nodded. "Yes."
"A duck?" The stall owner's expression was very strange. Clearly, he felt that it was very inappropriate to have a duck as a pet beast.
Xiao Luo didn't answer his question. Instead, he said, "Your wontons are delicious."
"Thank you. Enjoy your meal." The stall owner smiled and walked away.
The Duck Emperor was about to fly into a rage, but Xiao Luo had warned it not to speak in human language in front of outsiders. Otherwise, it would have rushed up and pecked at the stall owner when he called it a pet beast.
After finishing his wontons, Xiao Luo got up and headed to the Danhui Sect, which was about four to five hundred kilometers west of Stan City.
At that moment, a tall black horse suddenly galloped down the street. On its back was a young man in a green robe. He was about twenty years old. He rode the horse at a fast speed, completely ignoring the lives of the people on the street. As he galloped down the street, many stalls changed sides. Some pedestrians couldn't dodge in time and were sent flying by the horse, spitting blood from their mouths. Some people were trampled by the horse's hooves and broke their legs. Even more people fell to the ground trying to avoid being hit by the horse.
It was this black horse galloping wildly that instantly plunged the entire street into chaos!
"Mommy, mommy …"
A little girl holding a candied hawthorn stood in the middle of the street, crying as she looked around in horror. Due to the chaos, she had been separated from her mother.
"Giddyup, giddyup!"
Seeing that there was a little girl in front of him, the young man on the black horse didn't pull the reins to stop the horse. Instead, he kicked the horse's belly hard, causing it to accelerate and charge forward.
The little girl sensed a gust of cold wind coming at her. She turned around and her pupils shrank. The candied hawthorn fell to the ground in fright. A tall horse, which was like a mountain to her, was charging toward her. The huge momentum brought a gust of wind, blowing the neat bangs on her forehead.
"Oh no, that little girl is going to be killed!" The Duck Emperor screamed.
Xiao Luo turned into a flash of lightning and dashed forward, protecting the little girl with his body.
The tall black horse collided with him, but before it could even touch his back, it was sent flying by the surging True Inner Force that surged out from his body. The man and the horse collided. The black horse screamed miserably and fell to the ground. The young man on the horse's back was sent flying forward like a kite with a broken string.
