Chapter 255 Roaring Snow City

There is a small town next to Yulong Lake.

It's called Xiaoxue City.

Xiaoxue City is often hit by strong winds and heavy snow all year round, making it extremely inconvenient to travel here, so the number of people living in this city is decreasing year by year.

The size of Xiaoxue City today is only slightly larger than an ordinary small town.

When Fang Zijian and Song Baiyi arrived in the city, they saw that the number of people coming and going in the city was far less than that in the towns they had visited before.

"Why are there so few people here?" Song Baiyi said with a frown.

"This place is originally a remote area, and the center of the secular world is located in Zhongdao Province. Mortals are always different from cultivators, and they need to stick together to keep warm in order to survive longer. What's more, the recent events in Yulong Lake have already caused a sensation in the Northwest Region. For them, I'm afraid that Xiaoxue City will not be at peace either." Fang Zijian said in a deep voice.

Song Baiyi nodded slightly.

She didn't know much about worldly affairs, as she was sent to Daotian Sect when she was born.

As far as she could remember, she had grown up with the Daotian Sect, and everything she knew was related to spiritual practice, but she had ignored many worldly matters.

Thinking of this, Song Baiyi once again realized his own shortcomings.

Being strong only arms yourself. Only when you see people of all levels in the world with your own eyes can you understand the true meaning of life.

After all, she is still too young.

But because she is young, she still has a lot of time to learn and make up for her shortcomings.

"You two, are you from outside?"

At this time, a guard guarding the city gate came forward and asked.

"That's right, I'm a disciple of Daotian Sect, Fang Zijian." Fang Zijian bowed and introduced himself.

"So you are the immortal master of Daotian Sect. My apologies!" Upon hearing that he was from Daotian Sect, the guards' eyes seemed to show a little more respect.

As one of the largest sects in the Northwest Region, Daotian Sect is naturally well-known and known to everyone.

Fang Zijian and Song Baiyi were cultivators from Daotian Sect, which made them feel honored! "It's okay, we two came here just to deal with the strange things." Fang Zijian said.

Hearing this, the guard's face changed, and he frowned and asked, "Are you two immortal masters here for the matter of the ghost sound in Yulong Lake?"

Fang Zijian smiled faintly, glanced at Song Baiyi beside him and nodded: "Yes, do you know the reason?"

At this time, the guard's face changed obviously, and he waved his hands and said quickly: "I don't know, I don't know. And I also ask the two immortal masters not to investigate the matter of Yulong Lake. Some immortal masters came here before, but none of them returned alive. Now everyone calls that place Ghost Lake!"

Ghost Lake?

This seems like a name that ordinary people would choose.

When you don't know an unknown area and many strange things happen to it, you will develop fear of that place.

But looking at the guard's appearance, it seemed that he could not get anything out of him, so Fang Zijian did not plan to continue asking.

"Well, thank you very much for telling me." Fang Zijian said with a bow.

"..." The guard didn't say anything, but stepped back to let the two pass.

But before the two of them walked far, the guard couldn't help it and reminded them again at the city gate.

"My two immortal masters, everything I said is true. Even in our Xiaoxue City, it is best not to go out after dusk. If someone knocks on the door late at night, don't open it. Even the city has not been peaceful recently!" said the guard.

Hearing this, Fang Zijian turned around, smiled faintly, and bowed to thank him: "Thank you for your reminder, brother. We will be more careful."

After saying that, Fang Zijian turned around, his eyes showing a hint of solemnity.

Seeing this, Song Baiyi asked, "Could it be that the ghost sound from Yulong Lake has reached Xiaoxue City?"

Fang Zijian shook his head slightly: "It shouldn't be the case. Once ghosts and monsters start to move around in a city where people live, the surrounding sects will definitely not sit idly by."

Having said this, Fang Zijian looked around and continued, "Look, there are no cultivators around except for some ordinary people, which means that the other forces are not involved here."

Hearing this, Song Baiyi nodded.

But the guard's appearance was clearly not lying, so was there really a ghost haunting Xiaoxue City? Or was someone just making things up?

They still don't quite understand this.

After all, they were new here and they still had a lot to investigate.

Since Xiaoxue City is not very peaceful, this also means that they have come to the right place and can deal with the situation in the city while they are at it.

However, after they had walked two blocks, Fang Zijian winked at Song Baiyi.

"Did you notice?" Fang Zijian asked.

"Someone is following us." Song Baiyi replied.

"Don't alert the enemy yet. Find a place to stay and act at night." Fang Zijian said.

"Yeah." Song Baiyi nodded.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

…

Right now.

Behind Song Baiyi and Fang Zijian, a group of people followed stealthily, trying their best to hide their aura to prevent the two from discovering their whereabouts.

"Mr. Hu, that woman is absolutely stunningly beautiful! Am I right?"

Next to a pale-faced man, a man with a thief-like look on his face said with a smile.

"Indeed, I haven't seen a beauty of this appearance for a long time. No matter what method you use, you must bring her to my room tonight!" Hu Yibai said with an evil smile.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hu. We have invited several masters in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and we also have Lord Kuo who is in the Golden Core Stage to help. So it should be easy to capture that woman," said the cunning man with a sly smile.

"Hmph, I don't care what method you use. If I don't see this woman tonight, I'm going to kill you!" Hu Yibai said.

Hearing this, the cunning man trembled.

He didn't expect that Hu Yibai would say such a thing.

Could it be that this young master of ours is still interested in men?

Thinking of this, the man immediately asked someone to follow.

As long as these two find a place to stay, they can start the action tonight!

…

At this time.

Song Baiyi and Fang Zijian found a relatively quiet inn.

I have to say that the inns in Xiaoxue City are quite strange. They don't do business in broad daylight. I walked around four or five streets and finally found this one in an alley.

"Boss, do you have two rooms?" Fang Zijian asked.

At this time, an elderly woman appeared under the front desk counter. She had long white hair and looked quite old.

But those eyes were extremely clear and bright, giving people a feeling of shrewdness.

"Yes, how long do you want to stay?" asked the old woman.

"Let's just live here for now. We don't know how long we'll be staying here." Fang Zijian replied.

“Oh… hehe.”

The old woman smiled and said, "I see, so you must be here for Yulong Lake, right?"

Hearing this, Fang Zijian's half-smiley expression suddenly froze.

How did this mother-in-law know that they came for Yulong Lake?
