Bohai Country was located in the southeast of Chu Territory. Due to the large number of demon beasts, it was also known as the Demon Country.
Compared to Chu Territory, Bohai Country was relatively small and sparsely populated. The entire country was filled with barren mountains, making it difficult to farm. Due to the Cang Lan Sea, fierce demon aura was carried by the sea breeze to the mainland, causing many of the wild beasts in Bohai Country to transform into demons. Nearly four thousand years ago, this was a country where the demon race gathered. Later on, the Nan Zhan expelled the demons. The demons that gathered here were either killed or moved to the Northern Lu Province. Thus, there were only tens of thousands of demon beasts that had yet to transform into demons left.
However, due to the large number of demon beasts, Bohai Country became a huge demon core trading market in the cultivation world. All the cultivators in Nan Zhan liked to come here to purchase the demon cores they needed. Whether it was a large number of normal demon cores or rare mutated demon cores, they could all be satisfied here. Thus, a large sect was formed here, the Hundred Beasts Sect.
Of course, demon cores were not very useful to Foundation Establishment cultivators, so most of the cultivators that came here were Spirit Driving cultivators.
Fang Xing and the Golden Crow used ten days to cross the vast Taihang Mountain Range and arrived at the giant city where the Hundred Beasts Sect was located – Sea Demon City. This was where the Hundred Beasts Sect was located. Different from the Chu Territory's cultivation world which chose to establish their sect in the spirit mountains and rivers, the Hundred Beasts Sect's method of obtaining resources was to trade demon cores. Thus, they chose to build a giant city as the location of their sect.
Moreover, because Bohai Country was the sole power, there was no royal family. For mortals, the Hundred Beasts Sect was the royal family.
The city was like a crouching lion, majestic and vast. The outer walls were built with huge black stones, and it was located in the middle of the mountains. The Bohai Country had a lot of rain. Right now, it was a torrential downpour. Lightning streaked across the city like snakes, as if it was the might of the heavens. Meanwhile, the city sat in the rain, silent and unmoving, as if it was going against the heavens. It was truly a grand and extraordinary sight.
"Fellow cultivator, please rest for a moment. May I ask what your dao name is and where you cultivate?"
In front of the huge city gate of Sea Demon City, a disciple of the Hundred Beasts Sect dressed in black asked with a smile on his face.
Fang Xing had just crossed the Taihang Mountains on the back of the Golden Crow. Initially, the Golden Crow was unwilling to come here, but Fang Xing made a deal with it. He promised that if the Golden Crow accompanied him on this journey, he would give the Thousand Luo Ghost Mask to the Golden Crow. Only then did he drag the Golden Crow along with him. Now, the Golden Crow had thoroughly studied the Thousand Luo Ghost Mask and even made some slight improvements to it. The Thousand Luo Ghost Mask could also change its appearance, unlike before when it could only hide its breath.
At this moment, it had already turned into a large roc with dull feathers. It looked inconspicuous.
"Yours Truly is not affiliated with any sect, nor does he belong to any trade association. Am I not allowed into the city?"
Fang Xing replied lazily, glancing at the disciple.
"You're a rogue cultivator?"
The Bo Hai Nation's disciple looked down on him. His tone changed and he said coldly, "One hundred spirit stones allows you to enter the city, but you can only stay for ten days!"
There were cultivators of all levels who came to the Sea Demon City. If they were from a famous sect or a trade association, then they were mostly here to trade, so the spirit stones they collected would be less. If they were rogue cultivators without any sect, their status would be lower. Not only would they have to pay double the spirit stones to enter the city, but the attitude of the Hundred Beasts Sect's disciple would also change.
In the world of cultivation, power was very important, but rogue cultivators had the lowest status.
"Damn it, so expensive?"
When Fang Xing heard this, he was a little dissatisfied. One hundred spirit stones to enter the city was too much.
The Hundred Beasts Sect's disciple's face immediately darkened. He shouted, "If you think it's too expensive, you can leave. Also, watch your words. Don't cause trouble!"
While he was speaking, the mount he was riding let out a muffled roar, and with an awe-inspiring ferocity, it charged towards Fang Xing.
As a Hundred Beasts Sect's disciple, even if he was the lowest level disciple, he still looked down on rogue cultivators. Not to mention, Fang Xing was still young and didn't look like he had a high cultivation. The Hundred Beasts Sect's disciple deliberately put on airs.
When Fang Xing heard this, he glanced at him and scolded, "Are you talking to your Master Fang?"
As he spoke, a faintly discernible aura was released. It was deep and unfathomable.
When he killed Xiao Jianming with his sword, he was already in the seventh spirit formation stage. After that, he refined Xiao Shan He's thirty years of lifespan. His cultivation rose again and reached the eighth spirit formation stage!
"Late spirit formation stage?"
The Hundred Beasts Sect's disciple was shocked. When he looked at Fang Xing again, his face had already changed.
Even the demonic lion he was riding trembled and lost its ferocious aura.
He had never imagined that this seemingly young brat would actually have such a cultivation base.
The Hundred Beasts Sect's disciple was only in the third spirit formation stage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to guard the gate. Seeing how high Fang Xing's cultivation was, his heart was a little timid. Although he had the backing of his sect, he wasn't afraid of Fang Xing making a move on him. However, in the cultivation world, the weak are prey to the strong. It's human nature for the weak to see the strong.
Plus, even if he really had the same strength as Fang Xing, so what?
If he called out the sect's elders, even if he could suppress this rogue cultivator, he would still be labeled as a troublemaker.
For a moment, he was stunned on the spot. He didn't dare to get angry and didn't want to lower his face to apologize to a rogue cultivator.
Fang Xing had seen this kind of small fry many times. He sneered and threw out two middle grade spirit stones. He said lazily, "Do you really think this master is a rogue cultivator? If you don't have any eyesight, you deserve to guard the gate for the rest of your life! This extra spirit stone is your reward. Come and tell this master the rules of this city. It's best to be more detailed, or else I'll kill you, you bastard! "
Although he was scolded, when the Hundred Beasts Sect's disciple saw the middle grade spirit stone, he couldn't help but feel happy. Plus, Fang Xing's tone of voice made him realize that he might have seen wrongly. This young man might be a disciple of some big sect or family, but he deliberately didn't want to reveal his family's background. Although there aren't many people like this, it's not a small number either.
Obviously, this attitude of a master is not something a rogue cultivator can have.
Thinking of this, he quickly smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry for being disrespectful. Please come this way, let me explain to you …"
Just as he came to the side, before he could say anything, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Fairy Ye has appeared …"
The surrounding people, whether they were going to enter or exit the city, heard this shout and immediately raised their heads to look at the sky.
Fang Xing followed everyone's gaze and looked over, only to see a purple-clothed woman flying over on a silver shuttle from the northwest horizon.
Fang Xing could see clearly that this girl was about 18 or 19 years old. She was tall and slender, dressed in purple, and carried a huge zither on her back. At this moment, the rain had stopped, and a ray of sunlight shone on her back. Her skin was smooth, her lips were like cherry blossoms, and her eyes were clear like water. She was as beautiful as a fairy, but there was no expression on that almost perfect face. It was cold and arrogant like ice.
When she arrived in front of the Sea Demon City, Ye Guyin didn't even land. She directly flew into the city from the sky, leaving behind a glimpse.
"Oh my god, this is the second time I see Lady Ye in three days. I'm so excited …"
"Sigh, if I can talk to Lady Ye in this life, I'll be satisfied …"
"Graceful as a swan, graceful as a dragon, Fairy Ye is truly worthy of her title as a fairy. I want to recite a song for her …"
The girl had already entered the city, but the cultivators who were looking up at the beauty were still full of admiration.
Amidst the praises, Fang Xing also praised, "This girl is really not bad, look at that pair of long legs …"
The cultivators were furious and glared at Fang Xing.
Some people felt that this guy had insulted the fairy in their hearts and even had the thought of teaching this wild kid a lesson.
Fang Xing noticed the unfriendly gazes from the surrounding people. He immediately glared and released the aura of spirit formation eighth layer. Like a surging tide, he shouted, "What are you looking at? Do you believe that I won't dig out your eyes? "
All the cultivators were speechless. Among them, there were people of all ages, but the highest cultivation was only Spirit Formation 6th Layer. Yet, none of them were this brat's opponent. They could only swallow their anger and avoid his provocative gaze, pretending to yield.
However, no one knew how they were cursing in their hearts.
"Who was that girl just now?" Fang Xing turned around and asked the disciple who was guarding the gate.
The disciple of the Hundred Beasts Sect was also a bit indignant, but since he had already accepted a hundred mid-grade spirit stones as a reward, he couldn't say anything. He could only advise, "Senior, please lower your voice. If others hear it, it will only cause trouble! That fairy is one of the three great geniuses of the Chu Region, the genius of the Ice Sound Palace, Ye Guyin. Rumor has it that she's already half a step into foundation establishment realm. It's not wrong to say that she's the strongest under foundation establishment realm in the Chu Region. However, she's here as a guest in our Hundred Beasts Sect, preparing to bring our sect leader's daughter, senior sister Qiaoqiao, to the Ice Sound Palace to cultivate … "
"She's Ye Guyin …"
When Fang Xing heard this, he chuckled. He had heard of this person before in the Blue Cloud Sect. He knew that this long-legged person was on par with Xiao Jianming and Hou Guimen of the Great Evolution Sect. They were all famous geniuses. However, since Xiao Jianming was already killed by him, Ye Guyin, who was on par with Xiao Jianming, wouldn't be any better. Thus, he didn't really care about it and continued to ask about the rules of the Sea Demon City.
After the time it takes for an incense to burn, Fang Xing had more or less understood the rules of the Sea Demon City. He then gave the disciple another ten low-grade spirit stones as a reward and said, "You're not bad. When I'm done with my business, I'll reward you when I leave!"
The disciple was overjoyed and thanked Fang Xing. He even took out his own message talisman and told him that he wouldn't be on duty and would be at Fang Xing's disposal.
Fang Xing was proud of himself and entered the city with Jin Wu. In his heart, he was thinking, the cultivation world is the same. If you have money and power, you're the boss no matter where you go!
