Chapter 539: Entering the City

Finally, the Mysterious Woman and Xiao Fan passed through the tunnel and arrived in the outside world.

Both of them wore joyful expressions. The Mysterious Woman had exhausted all her spiritual power and Essence Blood…

If the distance had been any further, even if she had desperately kept eating Yao Beast meat, it would have been useless, because her own Essence Blood was already empty.

This time was even more severe than the last; she had seriously damaged her Foundation!

If she wanted to recover, who knew how many years it would take this time.

The two appeared within the ten-thousand-foot Void Realm…

A pitch-black tunnel appeared out of thin air, and once their figures emerged, the tunnel closed and vanished!

Immediately after, the two fell towards the ground.

The Mysterious Woman was exhausted. Previously, inside the black hole tunnel, she had been able to grit her teeth and persist, but the moment she saw the light of dawn, she closed her eyes and completely passed out.

Her hand also released Xiao Fan's back…

Xiao Fan was stunned. He was also tired from roasting meat, but it had a negligible effect on him.

He hurriedly grabbed the woman, and then slowly descended to the ground.

The woman lay in his arms, her face deathly pale, without a hint of color, and there was even a piece of meat residue on the corner of her mouth…

Xiao Fan let out a breath. This woman was definitely exhausted now and needed to recuperate!

He looked around and sensed the spiritual power in the vicinity.

"It's very dense…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself, "Why does it not feel like Wuhuang Province?"

The density of the spiritual power in the surroundings far exceeded that of Wuhuang Province; it was at least three times that of Wuhuang Province!

He was currently in a grassland, with no one around, leaving Xiao Fan without any opportunity to inquire for information.

The Mysterious Woman in his arms was still unconscious, leaving him at a loss for what to do.

"Forget it, let's find a city first to ask around." Xiao Fan let out a breath, picked up the Mysterious Woman on his back, and left.

This time, the Mysterious Woman had brought him out of the Secret Realm, and Xiao Fan would remember this favor.

Although the two had an agreement beforehand, in the face of life and death, how many people could actually keep their word?

Xiao Fan moved forward along the way. He did not fly, but instead traveled on land while carrying the Mysterious Woman on his back.

He was not sure if this was Wuhuang Province. If it were another major province, he might encounter danger in an unfamiliar environment.

Wuhuang Province was the weakest major province within the Nine Provinces; people from Tianshen Prefecture even referred to Wuhuang Province as: the Waste Province.

It was clear how barren Wuhuang Province was.

Xiao Fan continued forward, during which the Mysterious Woman on his back showed no signs of waking up.

A full day passed.

Xiao Fan passed through a vast, boundless forest.

Because of this, he was even more certain that the place he was currently in was not Wuhuang Province.

Because even without flying, his foot speed far exceeded what it used to be, and it was not even slower than the flight of an average Xuandan Realm Cultivator.

Yet for so long, he had only crossed a single stretch of jungle.

The Yao Beasts encountered inside were also exceptionally powerful. This did not belong to Wuhuang Province!

Xiao Fan did not wander aimlessly but galloped in one direction.

Two days later…

Xiao Fan finally saw a city, and he let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Finally, there are people."

This city was very large; judging from its outward scale, it was similar to the imperial capital of Wuhuang Province.

Xiao Fan did not rush to enter; instead, he changed into a clean white robe before carrying the Mysterious Woman on his back again. His previous clothes were too dirty and torn!

Xiao Fan entered. At the gate, two powerful figures at the Xuandan Realm were stationed, and the rest of the guards responsible for inspections were Cultivators at the Tongtian Realm.

"Senior, the toll is ten Spirit Stones per person."

To enter this city, just like in Wuhuang Province, one needed to pay an entrance fee.

These guards at the gate, seeing that Xiao Fan's aura was robust and that he was a Xuandan Realm expert, were relatively polite.

Ten Spirit Stones was not much, so Xiao Fan took out twenty directly from his Storage Pouch.

The guards' eyebrows twitched, and one of them said, "If you are using Low-Grade Spirit Stones, you need to pay one thousand!"

One thousand?!

Xiao Fan was stunned. At this moment, he was certain that he was indeed not in Wuhuang Province.

A thousand it is. After all, Xiao Fan was not short on money.

He took out two thousand Spirit Stones and then entered the city!

After Xiao Fan entered the city, the few people at the gate looked suspicious. Especially the two experts at the Xuandan Realm.

"How could a Xuandan Realm Cultivator use Low-Grade Spirit Stones?" one asked skeptically, looking at the other companion.

"That's not the weirdest part… The strange thing is the woman he is carrying; I cannot sense her depth…"

"Should we report this to the City Lord?"

"…"

Xiao Fan did not know what the guards at the gate were discussing, but he knew that he had definitely attracted attention.

"Are they using Mid-Grade Spirit Stones here…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself.

One Mid-Grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Based on the fees just now, the Spirit Stones used here were indeed Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

After Xiao Fan entered the city, there were small Cultivators on the roadside specifically responsible for guiding the way.

These people were very weak in Realm and usually relied on guiding to exchange for cultivation resources.

This existed in every city in Wuhuang Province.

Xiao Fan looked over and discovered that in the corner by the city gate, there were a few Cultivators observing him, with some fear in their eyes.

Xiao Fan walked over and looked at a little girl around fifteen years old, asking, "Can you guide the way?"

"Yes, I can." The Little Girl nodded, thought for a moment, and added, "The fee is one Spirit Stone!"

"That's fine, lead the way." Xiao Fan smiled.

The Little Girl was delighted and trotted ahead to lead the way.

The other small Cultivators around looked at the girl's retreating back with envious gazes.

"Why didn't you come over proactively when I first entered the city?" Xiao Fan asked curiously.
