Abdaso was a middle-aged man. He wasn't tall, but his skin was dark. He wore a cloth hat and patterned clothes, which were typical of the Tian Zang people.
"I apologize on his behalf. He's just a spoiled child," Abdaso said sincerely to Yang Wu.
Yang Wu saw the sincerity in Abdaso's eyes and waved his hand, signaling Hong Mo to release the young man.
The young man scrambled back to Abdaso's side and said, "Father … they want to kill …"
Slap!
Before he could finish his sentence, Abdaso slapped him hard across the face, stunning him.
"I called you here to kill the people of the Moon Worship Sect. What have you done?" Abdaso reprimanded. After a pause, he continued, "These are all our people. They killed our people, so we have to kill them all. These people saved our people, so they are our benefactors. You still dare to use a knife on them. If you weren't my son, I would have killed you right now."
Abdaso was very dignified and didn't seem to be faking it. He gave off a righteous feeling. The surrounding people couldn't help but cheer, "City Lord Abdaso is mighty … City Lord Abdaso is mighty …"
Cheers rang out continuously. It was obvious that Abdaso had a high prestige in the city.
Yang Wu ignored this. He turned around and picked up the girl who had fainted from crying. He said to Bai Luoyun, "Find a place to bury her mother."
"Yes, Master," Bai Luoyun replied and put the corpse away in the Cosmos Shell.
"Let's go." Yang Wu took the girl and called out to his companions behind him.
Abdaso spoke again, "Brave warriors, you helped us get rid of the Moon Worship Sect's disciples. You are our benefactors. Please allow me to express our respect on behalf of all the people in the city. Would you like to come to my residence for a gathering?"
Yang Wu shook his head, "We were just passing by. We couldn't stand watching them kill people. There's no need for us to do anything else."
Abdaso frowned, "Then we won't disturb you anymore. Please be careful of the Moon Worship Sect's revenge."
Yang Wu nodded and asked, "Where is the spatial gate in your city?"
Abdaso raised his thick eyebrows and said, "The Moon Worship Cult has been in trouble recently, so the Space Gate is temporarily closed. You can go to another city and borrow a passage."
Yang Wu frowned and said, "Can't you make an exception?"
"Of course. If they're our friends, we'll definitely make an exception," Abdaso replied.
Yang Wu pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright, then let's go to your residence for a gathering."
"Haha, that's what a good friend should be like. I, Abdaso, welcome you on behalf of my people." Abdaso laughed loudly.
Thus, under the lead of Abdasor and the others, they headed to the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion was not as luxurious as the mansions in the cities of other domains. It was just a mud house that was slightly larger than the other commoners' mansions. The interior of the house was also simply furnished, making it look slightly shabby.
Yang Wu wondered if Abdaso was really the City Lord. Why would he live in such a shabby place?
Abdaso seemed to have seen through Yang Wu's doubts. He said, "We Tibetans are all simple people. We're not used to being extravagant like you people of the Central Plains, so we're not particular about where we live. Besides, there are frequent storms in our land, so wooden houses can't accommodate people at all."
Yang Wu smiled faintly and replied, "I was ignorant."
"That's what all outsiders think," Abdaso said. Abdaso said. He clapped his hands and a servant brought in a few jars of wine and roasted mutton. He made an inviting gesture and said, "Come, come, let's drink this wine and eat this meat. We'll be good friends."
The people around Abdaso hurriedly filled everyone's large bowls with wine.
The fragrance of the wine filled the air, making one's mouth water.
Yang Wu did not know what Abdaso was planning, so he clinked glasses with the other party.
This was Tian Cang's Green Fruit Wine, a fruit wine made from dozens of herbs. Not only did it have the flavor of fragrant fruits, but it also had the stimulating taste of strong liquor. The taste was spicy and sour when it entered the throat. It was not something ordinary people could drink.
Bai Luoyun almost spat out the mouthful he took, but the White Haired Demoness patted him on the back. Only then did he swallow the wine back down.
"Wow, this wine … it's so strong!" Bai Luoyun said, sticking out his tongue.
"Haha, this wine represents our hospitality. If you're not a good friend, we won't let you drink it." Abdaso laughed loudly. He then looked at Yang Wu and said, "Young Master, are you still suspecting that I have ulterior motives?"
Without waiting for Yang Wu's reply, he continued, "I won't hide it from you. The people under our rule are simple and lovely. They are content with the status quo and have lost the will to improve themselves. Every time the Moon Worship Cult's disciples suddenly attack, few people dare to stand up and resist. I'm very grateful that you were willing to lend a hand. Who would have thought that my unfilial son would dare to make a move against you? He's really stupid."
Yang Wu nodded. "So you're treating us warmly in the hopes that more people will resist these villains in the future?"
Abdaso gave a thumbs up. "That's right. I want them to become stronger. When it's time to act, there's no need to hesitate. The Moon Worship Cult is nothing. Our Tianli Temple is the true representative of this place. They are a cult."
"Then when do you plan on letting us leave?" Yang Wu asked.
"As long as you promise me not to rob my citizens, I can let you leave." Abdaso glanced at Flying Tiger, Red Devil, and the others.
Yang Wu was enlightened.
It turned out that Abdaso thought they were raiders, which was why he deliberately made things difficult for them. However, he didn't dare to offend them too much and only wanted to know their movements.
"We're not raiders. We're just passing by. City Lord, you're overthinking things." Yang Wu explained. He then pointed at Flying Tiger and Hong Mo. "They're followers that I took in along the way. They've already put down their weapons and followed me to become Buddhas. They won't rob without help."
"City Lord Abdaso, we are indeed the Lord's followers." Hong Mo echoed.
Abdaso was shocked.
Flying Tiger, Red Devil, and the other marauders were famous on their side. It was hard for him to believe that this young man had subdued them as his followers.
After Abdaso recovered, he raised his bowl and laughed, "Haha, I was overthinking things. Since that's the case, I'll send you off after this meal."
Yang Wu had everyone relax. He ate and drank with Abdaso before heading to the Space Gate and teleporting to the next city.
Before Yang Wu's group left, Abdaso gave Yang Wu a lot of green fruit wine and some dried mutton. He also gave Yang Wu a map of the Hidden Heaven Realm. This map would be of great use to Yang Wu.
Yang Wu didn't expect that as soon as they left Bula City, the Moon Worship Demonic Sect would massacre this place. Abdaso died in battle. Even until his death, he didn't tell the Demonic Sect who killed their disciples. He was a true man.
For the next half a month, Yang Wu made his way through different cities, heading towards the westernmost edge of the Hidden Heaven Realm, "Sky Domain City".
Sky Domain City used to be the second city of the Heavenly Palace, second only to the floating Heavenly Palace City. But after the city was sunk by a Jade Moon master, it became the largest city in the Hidden Heaven Realm.
The city lord of Sky Domain City was also an amazing character. Rumor had it that he was a disciple in name of the Heavenly Palace. There were also rumors that he was a disciple of the Heavenly Palace and a disciple of the Tianli Temple. He was a master of the Heavenly Palace. Even after the destruction of the Heavenly Palace, this city still stood strong.
Various factions occupied this place. Tianli Temple, Evil Buddhist Temple, Moon Worship Demonic Sect, Kunlun, Hundred Flower Sect, and other major factions had built strongholds here.
These factions had a tacit understanding. They didn't cause trouble here and just quietly seized resources.
Sky Domain City was close to the largest Sky Domain Mountain Range. There were countless treasures here, even Xiantian treasures. Someone once obtained a Xiantian Snow Lotus and broke through to the Saint realm, reaching the Connecting Heaven realm.
Yang Wu and the others rushed here. They were really close to the ruins of the Heavenly Palace.
The weather here was extremely cold. Ordinary people couldn't bear it. Even kings had to wear more clothes. Only warriors of the Heavenly Fish Realm could withstand the cold and not be affected. But in a real battle, it was inevitable that they would lose ten to twenty percent. Only warriors who cultivated Ice Water Xuan Qi could adapt to the cold.
The northwest wind whistled and the cold snow fell.
Looking from afar, it was a vast expanse of white, dotted with sparkling and translucent snowflakes. While it was beautiful, it also felt somewhat desolate.
"This place is really cold." Bai Luoyun sighed.
"Yes, yes, I think so too." Yang Zhenlong nodded.
"We've already come to the border of the realm. Of course it's colder." Yang Wu said. He paused and said, "In this environment, some powerful warriors can be trained. It's an excellent place to cultivate."
Hong Ying said, "My Lord is right. The further northwest we go, the stronger the Tibetans."
A small head poked out of Yang Wu's arms and said weakly, "Are they bad people?"
This was the little girl Nannan that Yang Wu had picked up. He had wanted to leave her in one of the commoners' homes, but the little girl was too traumatized and only wanted to interact with Yang Wu. Ever since Yang Wu took her with him, she had never left his side. He couldn't bear to leave her and could only take her with him.
Besides, he also felt that Nannan was very pitiful. She only had one brother, so he might as well raise her as a sister.
In the future, it wouldn't be difficult to take her into the Yang family and raise her.
Hong Ying didn't know how to respond to her question. White Hair Demoness said, "There are good people and bad people. When you grow up in the future, you'll be able to distinguish who is good and who is bad."
"I don't want to be a bad person. I want to be a good person. I want to kill all the bad people and avenge my mother." The little girl said with a different look in her eyes from her peers.
This was the vow of the future demoness.
