All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Upon hearing this, the man immediately flew into a rage, raising his spear and swinging it at her.

Feng Ning, especially the kind of person who suffers losses? He casually set up a confinement array with one hand, trapping him inside.

He was horrified. "You! What kind of sorcery is this?"

Feng Ning sneered, "That's why I said your eyes are like a dog's eyes. You can't even recognize an array. How can someone like you be a gatekeeper? What are others looking at? You're just a watchdog, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers all burst into laughter.

"You sharp-tongued wretch, let me go right now, or don't blame me for being impolite. This is an empty city, you can't just run wild here."

Feng Ning sneered, "So, you can't just decide to cross the empty city, can you? Are you the city lord or something?"

"Shut up! When did I ever say I was the city lord?"

Feng Ning didn't argue with him. Just as she was about to say something more, a somewhat slovenly-looking old man rushed towards them.

"Young lady, were you using a formation just now?"

Feng Ning glanced at him, her eyes filled with confusion. "Can't you see? Isn't this just the simplest binding array? Don't tell me you don't even have this simplest array here."

The old man waved his hand awkwardly, "How could that be? There are some, but I've never seen anyone set up an array as easily as you."

Feng Ning composed herself. "Oh... perhaps you are simply ignorant."

These words made everyone want to hit her.

But what the girl said didn't seem to make any mistakes; they'd never seen anyone set up a formation so easily.

Are they truly ignorant? Or have they simply forgotten how powerful those important figures are because they haven't seen such people in so long?

Everyone was reflecting on their own thoughts, but the old man became even more excited.

"May I ask your name, where you live, and whether you have studied under a master? And where did you learn your array formation skills?"

Feng Ning smiled and said, "Of course I have a master. Without a master, where would I learn skills?"

"May I ask where your teacher is, young friend?"

Feng Ning's lips twitched.

This old man is pretty quick to get close to you. Just a moment ago you were a young lady, and now you're a young friend.

"Tianxuan Sect".

He thought about it for a moment, but couldn't recall the existence of such a sect.

He turned to look at the others, still somewhat unwilling to give up, only to see that everyone looked confused and no one seemed to be discussing anything.

He could only continue asking, "I've never heard of this sect before. Where is it located?"

Feng Ning thought for a moment, then took a step back. "You don't need to worry about that. I was just passing by, and now that I've encountered a dog blocking my way, I'm in a bad mood and don't want to go in. Goodbye."

When she mentioned the roadblock dog, she glanced at the guard trapped in the formation.

"If you're capable, come out yourself. If you're not, just wait and see who's kind enough to lend you a hand."

Feng Ning simply flicked her sleeves, took the little monkey, and left.

When the old man saw Feng Ning about to leave, he hurriedly chased after him, saying, "Young friend, wait for me. Don't be in such a hurry to leave. I still have some questions for you."

Feng Ning not only didn't stop, but quickened her pace.

This greatly frustrated the old man, so he quickened his pace to catch up.

Ultimately, there was still a gap in cultivation between the two, and the old man quickly caught up with Feng Ning.

"Why are you running so fast, girl? I haven't finished asking you anything yet."

Feng Ning looked at him speechlessly, "I don't even know you, why would I have so much to say to you? Can't you be a little more tactful? Can't you see I don't want to talk to you?"

"Look at what you're saying. I'm not a bad person, what are you afraid of?"

"Do bad people wear their badness on their faces?" Feng Ning sneered. "Look at you, so old, slovenly and sleazy, and you're inexplicably chasing after a young girl like me. You probably just want to kidnap me and sell me. I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Saying that, he was about to leave.

The old man realized what was happening, looked down, and sure enough, it was.

He had just finished his seclusion and was preparing to go to the Empty City to buy some materials to continue his cultivation.

On his way into the city, he ran into the girl. He hadn't paid any attention to his appearance, and sure enough, he scared her.

He quickly cast a cleansing spell to tidy himself up before catching up.

"Don't rush off, I really have something to tell you."

Feng Ning was getting impatient. She didn't even know where she was and was just about to find a more crowded place to find out what was going on.

If he keeps bothering her with all these questions, how will she have time to find out anything?

Moreover, she didn't even know if it was safe here, so how could she possibly reveal all her secrets to others?

Upon seeing him chasing after her again, Feng Ning finally stopped and looked at him coldly.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

The elder rubbed his hands together. "It's nothing, I just think you have a good talent for formations and wanted to ask you a few more questions."

"So what if I'm talented? What does that have to do with you? Don't you think it's very impolite of you to keep bothering me like this? Just because you're blocking me from doing my work, I won't say a word no matter what you ask."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across the old man's face, but more so, hesitation.

She may be very talented, but her personality is just too unlikable.

Feng Ning didn't say anything, and simply turned and left.

I finally managed to shake him off.

She headed in the opposite direction from the empty city again. This wasn't just one city; if she wanted to gather information, she didn't necessarily have to enter the city.

Or she could go to the next city, or to some small villages, and eventually find out the information she wanted.

After that, he ignored everyone else and continued walking.

He could tell that the old man was highly skilled, and it wouldn't be good to offend him, so he could only keep his distance to avoid causing more trouble.

She didn't want to become the center of attention in this unfamiliar place; that would only hasten her death.

She also left a hair on the old man's body; as long as the hair was there, she could tell whether the old man was following her.

Fortunately, although the old man had a strange temper, he was a decent person and did not secretly follow us.

She breathed a sigh of relief and hurried toward the next small village.

After two or three days, she also inquired about the situation here.

This is a high-level continent called Cangnan Continent.

The Cangnan Continent is not divided according to countries, but rather according to various forces, each dividing up territory and obtaining resources within that territory.

Some smaller factions also attach themselves to larger ones.

She is currently in the territory of the Empty City.

The powerful force behind this is the Myriad Swords Sect.
