"What information do you want to find out, senior?"

"Entrance to the Magic Mountain."

Li Sisui made no attempt to conceal his true purpose, revealing it to the wine boy, who was shocked by his frankness. He glanced subtly at Leng Rushuang, whose face was veiled in red behind him, and whispered:

"You could normally find out about this at Qingyuan Tower in the city, but given your current reputation, I'm afraid no one would dare to tell you..."

"Uh... what kind of fame do I have..."

Li Sisui gave a wry smile. Had he been too domineering during the duel? He simply wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible. Under his divine sense, Broken Halberd City was shrouded in a massive array, and the entire city didn't resemble an ordinary building; it looked more like a magical artifact. Filled with doubts, he naturally wanted to gather intelligence as soon as possible and leave. If he were trapped in the city by Lingyun, he would truly be caught like a turtle in a jar…

Leng Rushuang's beautiful eyes darted around, subtly glancing at Li Sisui a few times. His victory was no surprise to her; she just hadn't expected that such an ordinary yet extraordinary duel in Zheji City would attract so much attention. This guy really couldn't stay still anywhere; he was born to grab attention, truly unmatched…

Little did Leng Rushuang know that if she had been in the dueling arena, she wouldn't have been so easily distracted by the brutal and psychologically devastating battle. She would have been drawn to Li Sisui's calm and composed demeanor and wanted to investigate further. Furthermore, the fact that he was recognized as the Sword God of Wulipo would have unwittingly amplified his mystique and background, making him even more captivating and difficult to keep a low profile!

"Senior, you may not know this, but the group of people you killed actually had the city lord's backing. It was just a disguised test. Most of the new cultivators would have kept quiet, and even those who were confident in their strength would have stopped short of causing trouble. Only you were ruthless and decisive, exceeding everyone's expectations..."

As he spoke, Jiu Tong's tone became more cautious. The redness on his face faded, and he seemed to have sobered up considerably. He had been at the duel and had a deep impression of that scene. The light barrier of the duel arena had a certain suppressive effect on cultivators' supernatural powers and magical artifacts.

Even so, no one outside the arena saw Li Sisui's move clearly. They only felt something flash past their eyes, and then more than thirty headless corpses fell to the ground with a thud, and blood gushed out like a geyser. The scene was spectacular and shocking!

"Oh, I didn't expect there to be this connection. But what's done is done, so let it be. Qingyuan Tower, I was just about to go there anyway. I didn't expect the information I needed to be there. Perfect!"

Having said that, Li Si turned and gestured to Leng Rushuang, who slowly nodded. The two got up from the small house and headed straight for Qingyuan Tower. Seeing this, the wine boy quickly reached out his hand and said:

"Seniors, do you know the location of Qingyuan Tower? How about I show you the way?"

Li Si paused for a moment, then nodded. Upon seeing this, the wine boy's face lit up with joy. He jumped to the front, puffed out his chest, and raised his head, displaying an air of arrogance. The surrounding cultivators, seeing this, all retreated. Some even pointed and whispered at the wine boy, but under his fierce gaze, they all withdrew their words in fear. The three of them and the eagle left the public hall under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The streets of Broken Halberd City were rugged; the enormous city couldn't even find a decent main road, instead resembling a muddy mountain path, winding and twisting. Moreover, flying was prohibited here, which caused all the cultivators living here to complain endlessly. However, even with the cultivators' grievances, Broken Halberd City seemed to have no intention of improving the situation, and in the end, it was left unresolved...

The no-fly zone didn't have much of an impact on cultivators, but for the Black-Eyed Golden-Eyed Eagle that lived in the sky, it was nothing short of a double torment of mind and body. Only a short time had passed when the eagle exploded incessantly, flapping its huge wings several times, but Li Sixui forcibly pressed it down and soothed it gently, thus preventing it from causing a major disaster. Another reason why Li Sixui hurriedly left this place was this!

The three of them made their way up the rugged path, with the young man acting as a competent guide, vividly describing the local customs and culture of Zheji City. Clearly, he had been in Zheji City for quite some time and was very familiar with all sorts of gossip, recounting it as if it were his own treasure. Although the path was muddy, the journey was far from boring.

"That pill shop, though it looks unassuming and dark now, once produced a pill that astonished the city lord. Afterwards, the shop owner even obtained permanent residency in Zheji City because of that pill, which made others envious and prompted countless cultivators in the city to follow suit, causing the price of medicinal herbs to rise several times over..."

Li Sisui couldn't help but ask a question that piqued his curiosity:

"What kind of currency is circulating in the city? Spirit stones? Pills? Or something else?"

The waiter smiled, with an expression that said, "Just as I expected, you were going to ask that question."

"Senior is only partially right. All of what you just mentioned can be used as currency. The way of trading in the city is barter. As long as your things have enough value, you can exchange them for anything you want, hehe."

Li Sisui's face showed understanding. He looked up at the increasingly steep path and couldn't help but frown, saying:

"Is this city built on a mountain?"

"Senior, your insight is truly remarkable. No one knows the true nature of Broken Halberd City. Some say it's a mountain, others say it's a magical artifact. In any case, there's no definitive conclusion. But at least we can live a relatively peaceful life. After all, in the Asura Ridge, it's not easy to live a peaceful life. Don't you agree?"

Li Sisui remained noncommittal, silently nodding. He glanced back at Leng Rushuang, only to find that she was also looking at him. The two smiled at each other and turned back. Seeing this, the wine boy could only laugh awkwardly and quickly walked to the front. It seemed that this red-veiled cultivator had a close relationship with the senior!
