Monster, come to my bowl

With the experience of climbing high and looking far, Cai Ji's sense of direction became much stronger.

Three days later, he walked out of the foggy forest in time.

Although the sky was covered with a strange red haze, there was no miasma or poisonous fog around, making people feel refreshed.

Cai Ji was in a good mood. He ran all the way along the coastline and arrived at Wangbei City before dark.

As soon as he arrived outside the city, he was amazed.

A small city standing on a high stone slope appeared before our eyes.

The city is not big, but it looks quite majestic against the scarlet background of the sea and sky!

Although Wangbei City is a coastal city, it is not an important port.

This city was built on a high slope facing the sea. On the side facing the sea was a cliff several dozen feet high, a giant wall that was as vast as the sky and earth, and the monsters from the sea could not climb it at all.

The city faces inland and is a huge slope.

The slope has been trimmed by humans and there is no vegetation or soil on it. Except for the stairs leading into the city, there are only smooth stone slopes hundreds of feet long in other directions.

A tall city wall stands at the top of the slope, and it is filled with stone balls of various sizes. When encountering monsters attacking the city, one only needs to push the stone balls off the wall to cause huge damage to the monsters.

From a distance, Wangbei City stands alone on the high slope, like an iron tower.

When Cai Ji saw the city appear before him, he decisively took off his armor, changed into ordinary clothes, carried a bow and arrow on his back, pretended to be a ranger, and ran up the stairs.

He wanted to repeat his old trick and pretend to be a ranger to go into the city for a few days.

But before he even reached the city gate, he was turned away.

Since August 15th is the day every year when monsters are the most violent, Wangbei City had already imposed martial law in advance, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city were prepared for a fierce battle.

Whoosh!

A feathered arrow shot down from the city wall and hit Cai Ji in front of him.

"Wangbei City is under martial law! No one is allowed to enter or leave!" The demon-suppressing guards stationed on the city wall shouted a warning.

"I'll go!" Cai Ji heard this and shouted, "I'm a ranger! I'm an extremely accurate archer. Let me in and I'll help you defend the city!"

Unexpectedly, the demon-suppressing guards on the city wall did not give him the slightest bit of face and warned him again: "The city gates are closed! No one is allowed to enter or leave! Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!"

Your grandma’s!

You ungrateful animal!

A few demon kings will come at night and see how you deal with them!

Cai Ji was frustrated and was so angry that he complained to himself.

However, despite his complaints, he did not choose to force his way in.

Although with his current strength, no one can stop him from entering the city.

But rules are rules after all.

According to the rules of Qinghe City, martial law was imposed three days before August 15th.

Cai Ji couldn't enter the city, so he simply started wandering around the city.

Wangbei City is not big, and a circle is less than three miles.

He planned to go around the cliff facing the sea, and then sneak into the city from the other side of the cliff after dark.

After walking a few steps, I saw a simple fishing village on the beach below the cliff.

However, there was no movement in the fishing village, and all the fishing boats were towed ashore. The fishermen should have fled to Wangbei City for refuge.

Seeing that it was still early, Cai Ji had nothing to do so he went for a stroll in the fishing village.

Who would have thought that when I walked to the beach, I saw an unexpected scene.

I saw an old lady with white hair and beard sitting on a small pier near the village fishing.

Cai Ji’s first reaction was that the old lady was tired of living and deliberately stayed in the fishing village waiting to die.

But upon closer inspection, I discovered that although the man was dressed simply, his body was spotless, and his back alone gave people the aura of a superior being as majestic as a deep abyss or a mountain.

What’s even more outrageous is that the old lady’s spiritual power is so deep that it’s impossible to sense its depth!

This is definitely a master!

Cai Ji's heart tightened and he immediately put away his contempt.

Scar San and others had told him before that Wangbei City had a small population and its defense was not as strong as Dingfeng City. The commander stationed there was usually only a captain of a thousand.

The number of demon-suppressing guards is no more than a few hundred.

The city's ability to stand firm is mainly due to its unique defensive terrain.

But now it seems that the situation is not that simple.

There is actually an unparalleled master here!

"Young man, the moon is going to be full tonight, why are you still hanging around outside?"

At this moment, the old lady suddenly spoke.

She never looked back, but she knew there was a young man behind her.

“Hey…” Cai Ji didn’t dare to be careless. He quickly stepped forward and answered obediently: “Senior, Wangbei City is under martial law and I am not allowed to enter.”

"It's been three days since the martial law was imposed," the old lady replied, and then asked, "Where are you from?"

"Zhongzhou." Cai Ji replied.

"Zhongzhou?" The old lady was a little surprised, and suddenly asked with a smile: "You came all the way from Zhongzhou to our Nanzhou, did you commit a crime?"

"I didn't do anything wrong!" Cai Ji denied decisively and said honestly: "I came to Nanzhou purely by accident."

"What kind of accident could allow you to cross the entire foggy forest before August 15th?"

"I'm afraid you won't believe me."

"I have seen many strange things. Tell me about them."

"Okay!" Cai Ji thought for a moment and explained seriously, "On the full moon night of last month, I was guarding the water gate of Dingfeng City. As a result, Dingfeng City was besieged by three demon kings. During the fierce battle, I accidentally fell into the sea and was swallowed by a demon shark. When I tried to escape, I found myself in the middle of the vast ocean. Later, I landed on a small island nearby and found a way to get myself a boat. Then I took the boat all the way to the coast of the dense fog forest, and then went all the way south, and arrived here before the full moon."

After saying this, the old lady didn't respond.

There was too much information and she had to digest it carefully.

After a long while, the old lady suddenly turned her head, looked at Cai Ji, and asked with a smile: "How did you escape from the devil shark's belly?"

“This…” Cai Ji’s old face turned red, and he scratched his head and said, “I was practicing in its stomach, but it couldn’t digest me, so it pulled me out.”

"Hahaha." The old lady laughed loudly upon hearing that and nodded, "I believe what you said! With your cultivation level, a demon shark really can't do anything to you! By the way, who is your master? Wang Tiechui or someone else?"

When Cai Ji heard the old lady calling the Great God of Destiny of Zhongzhou by his name, he became more certain that the other party's identity was not simple.

He didn't dare to make up stories, so he answered honestly, "Senior, I'm not actually a demon-suppressing guard, but Feng Siming can be considered my master's master."

What Cai Ji said was not a lie.

The Tianyuan Heart Technique he learned was passed down to Xue Yi by Feng Siming.

Xue Yi passed it to him again.

It is reasonable to call Feng Siming "Master".

"Feng Ling is your master's master?" The old lady was even more surprised and sighed, "There are always talented people in every generation, and each generation is stronger than the last! I didn't expect that you are so young and can have such a high level of cultivation! At my age, I am far inferior to you."

Obviously, she had already sensed the huge spiritual power in Cai Ji's body.

Cai Ji originally thought that he could hide his strength by restraining his spiritual power.

Who would have thought that in front of a real master, his true colors would be exposed in an instant!

Although the spiritual power in his body at this time did not reach the level of a second-grade Sima Ming, it was still among the best compared to a third-grade general of the Demon-Suppressing Guard.

Hearing the old lady's words at this moment, Cai Ji realized that his choice to be honest was right.

He took the opportunity to ask, "May I ask your name, Senior?"

"It seems that you are really new to Nanzhou and you don't even know who I am." The old lady shook her head and replied with a smile: "Everyone calls me Granny Liu. I am not a demon-suppressing guard like you. I am just an old lady who likes to watch the sea."
