Logically speaking, given Bai Cang's status, position, and cultivation level, he should not be so "ignorant."
However, his rise to power was too rapid. Most of the time, he was either cultivating, killing people, or figuring out how to kill.
Even with the little free time left, they would busy themselves with serious matters such as extortion and backstabbing, in order to accumulate resources for their own cultivation.
Even though he had tried his best to make up for his missing "lessons" and not let go of any opportunity to "read extensively" and "broaden his horizons."
However, due to his utilitarian mindset, his interest in cultivation knowledge and various classic texts far exceeded that of those "miscellaneous books".
Even when browsing through miscellaneous books like "travelogues," he pays more attention to the "battle experience" contained within, as well as the techniques and experiences of outsmarting and being outsmarted, learning lessons from them to enrich his "conventional arsenal."
Therefore, Bai Cang didn't really pay much attention to this kind of "common sense".
Now, Fang Baoliu has "made up a lesson" for him, which has benefited him greatly.
"No matter where you are in the future, you should find out the local power structure and situation as soon as possible."
This is the only way to avoid offending people you shouldn't or can't afford to offend.
Bai Cang silently reflected on himself, pondering how to "run away with the bucket".
Fang Baoliu described the Black Barbarian Mountains as so dangerous; how could he possibly take such a risk?
Even if you're going to the headquarters of Heshan Road, you could detour from here to the border of Xia, Yun, and Zhuang countries, and enter the Ten Thousand Mountains via another safer road, right?
It's just a detour of tens of thousands of miles, maybe a hundred thousand miles at most, what's the big deal?
Just then, Fang Baoliu seemed to guess what Bai Cang was thinking, and suddenly smiled and said, "When the True Lord's decree was issued, it also carried a sentence."
"He said if you dare to disobey his orders, he will personally break your legs and hang you on the city wall of Taiyin Prefecture to dry in the wind for ten years, so that everyone can see the magnificence of you, Great Immortal Master Bai!"
I'll lead you guys to victory! What kind of devilish behavior is this Teemo?
Bai Cang glared fiercely at Fang Baoliu, his face full of frustration.
This time, he was completely outmaneuvered by his cheap teacher!
"I just gave you a huge amount of gold coins, and you're acting all stingy and miserly. You're really holding a grudge, you're such a jerk!"
Bai Cang thought to himself with frustration, his gaze toward Fang Baoliu growing increasingly hostile.
What benefits did Old Bi Deng give you that made you betray Dao Ye like this?
Can't you just pretend you've forgotten about it, and then we can happily make a run for it?
"Alright, although the Black Barbarian Mountains are dangerous, they have been explored and investigated over the years."
"As long as we don't wander off and follow the known routes, we'll definitely be fine."
Fang Baoliu was not afraid of Bai Cang's "fierce" gaze and comforted him with a smile.
Actually, there was one more thing she wanted to say, but she didn't say it aloud.
Even if something unexpected happens, what can they do to you?
As for his "lover" and "senior brother," he was clearly incredibly strong, but his overly cautious way of doing things was also remarkable.
Fang Baoliu was already used to it, but there were still some things she couldn't understand.
Can't you be young and impetuous for once, and act hot-blooded for a while?
No, he wasn't without his youthful arrogance and impetuousness.
However, they only launch a powerful attack and show their true colors when they are absolutely certain that they have an absolute advantage.
"If anything unexpected happens, don't expect me to be able to take care of you!"
Bai Cang muttered something under his breath, and his entire appearance had undergone a dramatic transformation.
His once handsome face had become plain and unremarkable, and his narrow eyes carried a hint of ruthlessness, making him a formidable character who was not to be trifled with.
His original attire of a black robe and jade crown had been replaced by a half-new, half-old black Taoist robe, with a faint black aura surrounding his body and a sinister, menacing light emanating from him.
He held a long, jet-black banner in his hand, which was faintly filled with a sinister aura and surrounded by layers of eerie light.
Anyone who looks at him would think he's a ruthless and vicious ghost cultivator, the kind who's so greedy he'd risk his life for a few spirit pearls.
Seeing this scene.
Fang Baoliu showed a helpless smile and immediately cooperated with him by putting on a disguise.
Although her face didn't change much, it was covered by a black veil.
Her once dignified and elegant demeanor has turned cold and ruthless.
"You still lack experience and don't have a deep understanding of the wickedness of people in the outside world."
Bai Cang was not satisfied, and personally began to instruct her, "War is fierce and dangerous; all battles are risky."
"Even with a 99% certainty, there's still a possibility of things going wrong unexpectedly."
"What's the difference between a 99% win rate and a 100% chance of death?"
"Therefore, when you're out and about, you must avoid conflict. Make it clear to others that you're not to be trifled with, that you're poor and ruthless, that you have no money to lose, and that you're prone to losing your teeth. Only then can you deter others from coveting your territory."
"If you are forced to have a conflict with someone, you must avoid their sharp edge and then launch a sneak attack later when they are off guard, using any means necessary."
"As the saying goes: 'Strike first and you'll be strong; strike later and you'll suffer.' If you can launch a sneak attack, never engage in direct confrontation. If you can use poison, never get close. Ideally, you should use someone else to do the dirty work. Only take matters into your own hands if all else fails."
"Once you strike, you must be swift, ruthless, and precise, eradicating the threat completely and eliminating all potential dangers..."
While Bai Cang was rambling on and on, imparting the valuable experience recorded in the "Cultivation Manual" to Fang Baoliu, and combining it with his own experiences, he instilled in her the idea that "the world is dangerous and survival comes first," while helping her to carry out a deep and thorough disguise.
Half a day later, in the Black Barbarian Mountains, two unassuming figures swiftly traversed the deep forests.
The Black Barbarian Mountains are high and precipitous, with low-hanging leaden clouds that seem to never disperse.
Numerous treacherous and deadly dangers lurk within. Those who have not reached the level of a Golden Core True Monarch are unable to use their power to dispel the mountain spirits and lack the means to act arrogantly and domineeringly.
Bai Cang considered himself to be of "low strength," so he naturally wouldn't act ostentatiously, nor did he have any intention of roaming the Black Barbarian Mountains with his sword.
They simply followed Fang Baoliu's guidance and traversed through the deep mountains and forests.
Even when encountering places that are truly difficult to pass through, they fly low.
He looked around cautiously the whole way, with heavy guards in place. The scouting soldiers and ghosts he sent out to explore the area covered a radius of dozens of miles around him.
With such a cautious demeanor, where is the "strongman's demeanor"?
However, in front of Fang Baoliu, Bai Cang did not need to worry about saving face and always adhered to the principle of "better safe than sorry".
However, the journey had been uneventful, making him seem like he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Especially the Black Barbarian Mountains, which Fang Baoliu described as treacherous and unpredictable, actually had quite nice scenery.
The scenery along the way was extraordinary and breathtaking.
The variety of exotic flowers, rare herbs, birds, and beasts was unprecedented.
Every now and then you can see the mountain springs gurgling, the water is blue and green, and the streams are babbling, creating a scene of tranquility and peace.
However, Bai Cang did not relax his vigilance at all; on the contrary, his expression became even more solemn.
Something's not right!
Suddenly, Bai Cang stopped and looked ahead with a deep gaze.
