Chapter 183 War
It was still not safe in Hundred Beasts City. Perhaps that brat's spies were still searching for him.
Xiang Nan did not rashly enter the city. Instead, he sent a message to the person in charge of the auction house.
Half a day later, an auction house disguised as a caravan of horses quickly galloped out of the city and arrived at the location of Xiang Nan.
From afar, someone jumped out of the car. It was the person in charge of the auction house. He quickly trotted over, his eyes filled with eagerness.
After Xiang Nan took out the Blazing Python egg, the person in charge heaved a sigh of relief. He carefully stored the egg and then tightened his grip on Xiang Nan's hands.
"Thank you, thank you for saving my daughter's life. With this snake egg of the Blazing Fire Python, my daughter's life will be saved."
"Don't say anything." Xiang Nan patted the back of the person-in-charge's hand and said, "Baishou City hasn't been peaceful lately. Just be careful. Hurry up and go back to treat Ling Qianjin's illness."
The person in charge cupped his fists and cupped his hands at Xiang Nan. "Great kindness is not unforgettable. I won't send a hero far away if he goes well."
Seeing the person in charge of the convoy walk far away, Xiang Nan nodded. He took out the map and saw the direction, then said, "Little Sparrow, continue on your journey."
After Xiang Nan obtained the Spirit Cleansing Powder he needed from the Hundred Beast Cliff, his next task was to search for the missing disciples of the Cavalry Sect in the Northern Wilderness Swamp.
The Primordial Swamp was a famous place of great viciousness in the Haotian Empire. The demonic beasts inside were extremely terrifying. The highest level of demonic beasts known to date had already reached the astonishing Heaven Scryer Realm. Not only were they high-level demonic beasts, there were also a large number of them.
In addition, there were many battles in the north, so there was a strong frontier army stationed there all year round.
From the Hundred Beast Cliff to the Primordial Swamp, Xiang Nan didn't dare to waste too much time on the journey. He left in a hurry without even resting.
In the early spring, the inland coastal area was still warm, but the weather in the north was still cold. The further north one went, the colder it became.
After Xiang Nan flew 30,000 li north, the air seemed to have suddenly changed its style. It suddenly turned cold, and an unbelievable boundary appeared between heaven and earth.
Outside the boundary line was barren land, and inside was boundless snowy plains.
A martial artist's physical fitness was tyrannical and his ability to defend against the cold was extremely strong. However, using Yuan Qi to defend against the cold day and night was not a long-term strategy. Xiang Nan found a city and bought a warm mink fur cloak.
Xiang Nan felt much more comfortable with his furry outer collar sticking to his neck. He bought another furry collar and pulled it off. He also circled the little bird's neck a few times before continuing on his way.
On the fourth day, ten thousand kilometers away from the Primordial Swamp, looking down from a high place, a magnificent city suddenly stood between heaven and earth. Most of the buildings in those cities were actually made of giant ice.
Looking over in the vast snowy plains, he was rather shocked.
"I didn't expect to see such a bustling scene in such a marginal area." Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.
There were people coming and going in every large city. It was not lively. Some people were peddling their beast hides in the streets with their bare arms. Others were opening steaming hot drawer after drawer. The hot buns and steamed buns that had just come out were all snatched away.
Xiang Nan continued to fly. After another ten thousand li, he finally arrived at his destination, the Northern Border Defense Forces base.
Actually, this camp was also a huge city with a vast area and a prosperous scene. However, what they saw here were the solemn and dignified soldiers.
Before Xiang Nan could get within ten miles of the city, he was stopped by a group of flying cavalry.
In the sky, there were hundreds of such flying cavalry patrols, one for every five people. They were riding on military twin-headed tiger lions. This type of demonic beast was generally at the fifth level of the Xiantian realm to the fifth level of the Guiyuan realm, and the difference in strength was still enormous.
Strangely, the two-headed tiger lion had a pair of huge feathered wings and two heads. One was a lion's head, while the other was a tiger's head. It looked rather strange.
"Who is it?" The patrol stopped Xiang Nan in the sky.
"I am a disciple of the Haoran Sect. I am here to carry out a mission." As for the military, there was no need for Xiang Nan to conceal his identity. He immediately took out the mission scroll.
The captain of the patrol team took the scroll with a suspicious expression and muttered, "The geniuses of the Haoran Sect are like crucian carps. There are people your age who have only reached the first level of the Origin Reversion Realm?"
"Come, there are some things we need to question."
Xiang Nan followed the patrol and landed on the 300-meter-tall giant city wall.
This place would be attacked by demonic beasts all year round, so the city walls were extremely solid. The general height of the city walls was 250 meters, and the thickness of the walls reached an astonishing 20 meters. It was impossible for ordinary demonic beasts to charge in with such an iron wall.
There were sentry posts on the city walls, and almost every fifty steps there were towers and arrow towers.
At this moment, the countless soldiers on the city wall had extremely serious expressions. There was even a trace of undetectable fear in their eyes.
Xiang Nan accurately captured these details, but he didn't ask any further.
"You're Xiang Nan?" The patrol captain found a city guard officer. The city guard officer looked at the scroll and looked at Xiang Nan from time to time.
"It's me, Sun Peak disciple of the Haoran Sect, Xiang Nan." Xiang Nan straightened his body and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Sun Peak? Are you the disciple of Xu Caiyue, Lord Xu?" The city guard was shocked.
"You know my master?" Xiang Nanqi said. And hand over his token.
The city guard laughed and said, "I don't have that kind of good fortune. It's just that Peak Lord Xu is famous. How many of us in the military have never heard of him?"
After checking his waist token and confirming that Xiang Nan's identity was correct, he decided to let him go.
At this moment, the sound of a horn suddenly came from the sky.
Wuwu … Wuwu …
The sound of the horn spread far and wide in the ice and snow. It sounded a little sad and touching.
"Hurry up and defend! It's a Heavenly Devil Cult member!" Someone from the sentry tower shouted loudly.
"Formation! Formation!" The city guard couldn't care less about greeting Xiang Nan. He took three steps and ran to the side, shouting loudly as he ran.
Looking at the city wall, in just a breath's time, ten rows of trained soldiers had already gathered.
The first three rows of soldiers were archers, the middle three rows were shield soldiers, and the last four rows were throwers.
"Heavenly Devil Religion" Xiang Nan's heart sank and he quickly looked into the distance.
He saw a vast expanse of white shadows suddenly appear in the place where the snowy plains were connected to the sky. At a glance, there were tens of thousands of those shadows!
