After returning to Shushan with An Zhisu, Lingyunpo began to load the save file.

[Point 5: Donghuang Demon Realm, Nanzhou, Wujiang City. ]

[Character identity: Long Long. ]

[The Mirror Flower and Water Moon template is overwritten, and time travel is in progress. 】

After Long Long and Long Hu crossed the river, they arrived at the nearest demon stronghold, Wujiang City.

This city is similar to the previous Nanfeng City, both of which are dominated by feathered demons. The difference is that Nanfeng City has mostly bluebirds, while Wujiang City has mostly crows. The former prefer blue clothing, while the latter prefer black clothing.

After staying in the inn in the city for a few days, Long Long discovered that almost all the feathered people here had a hidden aversion and hostility towards non-feathered monsters.

This is most vividly demonstrated by the Feather Clan monks. For example, during the daily room inspections at the inn, the monks from Wujiang City treat guests from the Feather Clan politely, but treat guests from the Scale, Hair, and Armor Clans coldly.

As for the Horn Clan...due to the war with the Qilin Clan of Zhongzhou, no Horn Clan can be seen in the city anymore.

Of course, apart from racial discrimination, class discrimination is even more obvious.

Between monks and non-monks, there is a more obvious, huge and cold gap, which is determined by whether or not they have transformed into human form.

The Feather Clan monks look down on those little demons that have not yet transformed, and there is also a clear discrimination chain among the little demons: the closer to human form they are, the more arrogant they are.

The Burning Blood Stage little demons that are closest to human form live in the bustling streets on both sides of the main roads in Wujiang City. Those who open shops, set up stalls, do business... basically all those who may have dealings with cultivators are these little demons.

Apart from still having a few bird features such as feathers on their bodies, they are almost the same as humans in terms of their upright walking, speech and demeanor, and thinking patterns.

The second is the small demons of the Expanded Bone Stage, who retain a lot of bird characteristics and live in slums near the city walls. They have more feathers, smaller eyes, and beaks, speak bird language that is difficult to understand, and do some monotonous, repetitive, and hard labor work, such as moving bricks, repairing roads, and carrying manure.

The Blood-Burning Stage demons often regard themselves as proper citizens of Wujiang City and rarely step into the residential areas of the Bone-Expanding Stage demons. Even if they are encountered on the road, they must be avoided from afar. If they enter a store, they must be driven away quickly and not allowed to stay for too long.

As for the lowest Qi-drawing stage... this type can almost be said to be a monster. They don't even have basic intelligence and are not allowed to enter the city gates.

Although Longlong and Longhu are not from the Feathered Clan, they have mastered the secret art of shapeshifting.

Even though his cultivation level has not yet reached the transformation stage and he does not have a demon pill, his appearance looks exactly like a human being, without any animal characteristics.

Therefore, when walking in the city, he was treated as a cultivator by these feathered people.

Although they were not as enthusiastic as those towards the Feather Clan monks, they still dared not refuse to respond as long as Long Long and Long Hu spoke.

In the past few days, Longhu had been eating red meat and fruits in the restaurant in Wujiang City, and he felt a little depressed.

As for the restaurant's popular "insect set meal", she had no interest in it at all.

"Long Long, Long Long!" After lunch, she started to pester Long Long and play with him, insisting that he continue to head north and enter Zhongzhou as soon as possible.

I, the little fox, don't want to stay in this crappy place where I can't even eat chicken for a moment!

"Stop it. To the north is the war zone. How are we going to get through there?" Long Long rubbed her face with a wry smile, and was angrily slapped on the hand by Long Hu.

He had already inquired clearly in the city. If he left Wujiang City and continued northward along the river, he would reach the battlefield between Zhuniao and Qilin.

A large number of Feather Clan monks and Horn Clan monks were fighting there. Not to mention the trade routes on the river, even the land passenger transport was completely blocked. Only fearless illegal immigrants and smugglers would think of going there.

But this did not pose a problem for the experienced Long Long. He had already studied the map. The border between Nanzhou and Zhongzhou was more than a thousand miles long. There must be a way to avoid the war zone and enter Zhongzhou.

Otherwise, what should the Horn Clan do that had been stranded in Nanzhou before the war?

No matter which Feather Clan city you are in, you will often be captured and tortured to confirm that you are not suspected of being a spy. Who can stay there?

We must escape to Zhongzhou as soon as possible!

Long Long was certain that, as Wujiang City was the northernmost city in Nanzhou, there must be people from the Horn Clan in the city who knew how to go to Zhongzhou.

Just because of the high-pressure stance in the city, these Horn Tribes are all in hiding!

So, how can we find the Horn Clan in the fastest way?

Long Long thought for a moment and realized that as a foreigner, he definitely didn't know how to find the Horn Tribe.

But the monks in Wujiang City can definitely do it!

They spent the whole day in the city arresting "suspicious" members of the Horn Clan. Of course, they were not really looking for spies, but just trying to extort money from them in various ways.

As long as you pay the fees, the "interrogation" will end, otherwise you will be detained indefinitely.

And these horn tribesmen who have just been released are the ones that Long Long can contact the fastest.

After squatting at the gate of the government office in the city for a long time with Longhu, he almost attracted the questioning of patrolling monks. Finally, Long Long saw a group of people coming out.

To be exact, it was a group of Horned People.

The leader seemed to be a fat businessman, who was sweating and flattering the Feather Clan monks. The latter treated him like garbage and kept driving him out.

Because this merchant from the Horn Clan has horns, it means that he should be a blood-burning level demon, and is considered a "relatively less stupid idiot" by the cultivators.

"Let's follow them." Long Long whispered.

"Okay." said the dragon fox.

The two followed the Horn Tribe for a while. After Long Long confirmed that there was no one around, he appeared and blocked the other party in the alley.

The Horned Tribe members were suddenly stopped by someone, and were almost frightened at first. But when they saw that the person coming was in a "completely transformed form", the fat merchant in the lead smiled a smile uglier than crying, and said in a trembling voice:

"grown ups……"

"I ask, you answer." Long Long was not interested in taking care of his emotions, so he just went straight to the point.

"Okay." When the fat businessman heard that he was not asking for money, he immediately said with a smile, "I will tell you everything I know."

"What is the fastest route from here to Zhongzhou?" Long Long asked.

Several members of the Horn Clan looked at each other. The fat businessman was also stunned for a moment before he replied:

"There are many routes to Zhongzhou, but the fastest one is definitely through the war zone..."

"Next." Long Long interrupted him.

After passing through the war zone between the Feather Clan and the Horn Clan, he was not yet confident enough.

"If we want to consider safety, we should definitely go through the Three-legged Mountain Range," the fat businessman replied. "As long as we can establish connections with the Golden Crow Clan, we can pass through the volcanic zone and enter the Wind Rest Valley in southern Zhongzhou."

"There are basically no checkpoints on this route because there are too many small paths. But the disadvantages are also obvious. One is that it is too rugged and difficult to walk, and the other is that you have to deal with the Jinwu tribe living on the volcano." The fat businessman finally said with a wry smile, "After all, you have to pass through their territory."
