193: Chapter 191: The Return of the White Cloud Snow Beast 193: Chapter 191: The Return of the White Cloud Snow Beast Does Immortal City shelter mortals? At this moment, Empress, who had descended into the mortal realm and transformed the city, garnered a few unusual views in Baili An’s heart. In Immortal City, monuments stood in all directions, declaring the strict and arduous conditions for Cultivators to enter. But for mortals, entry and exit were free, unbound by excessive regulations. Indeed, it was a curious thing. Fang Geyu mentioned he was hungry and went out to search for food. Baili An casually wore the Snow Tassel given by Wen Hanwei at his waist, moving hastily, yet his gaze hardly lingered on the various snack stalls around him. Passing through seven streets and five alleys, he headed towards the scarcely populated areas where the city lights failed to reach. Just then, a City Guard blocked his path. The voice was stern and icy, “The Forbidden Land of the Dark Forest at the border city is not to be trespassed!” Baili An halted, greeted the man with a bowed hand, and said, “I just entered Xianling City and was curious and excited, looking around without much thought. I was unaware of such rules within your honorable city, my apologies.” The guard sized him up and, seeing that though young, his cultivation had reached the Kaiyuan Realm. Surprised yet unwilling to pry further, he was about to forcibly send him away when his eyes caught sight of the tassel at Baili An’s waist, pure as driven snow and untainted by dust. It seemed ordinary, yet each tassel thread was spun from the spiritual feathers of the snow cranes from Penglai Immortal Mountain. Yet what truly stirred his heart was not the rarity of the item, but that among the Hundred Immortal Sects, only one person used this tassel as her ornament. The Van Yin Sword Scripture, Wen Hanwei. The guard immediately abandoned the disdain in his eyes and returned Baili An’s gesture. He thought to himself about the fortunate lad who must have gained favor from the famed figure of Taixuan Nine Classics. Still, it was unheard of that the illustrious Van Yin Sword Scripture had ever taken a disciple. Though puzzled, he respectfully followed protocol and said gently, “Young brother, it’s understandable to be unfamiliar with the numerous complex rules during your first visit to the city. Though it’s the outer part of the city, there are still many taboos, and I hope you can adhere to our city’s laws.” Baili An nodded in agreement, “Thank you, elder brother, for the guidance. If I may ask, are there any specific taboos in this city that I should avoid?” The guard smiled and replied, “That would be quite the list to discuss. There are many taboos in the city, but even accidentally trespassing certain areas would only lead you to suffer some lashes at most. Let me warn you though, there is one place you must absolutely avoid.” “I would appreciate your guidance, elder brother,” said Baili An, listening intently. The guard leaned in and lowered his voice, “Ancient Law Mountain. It is the one place in all thirty-two border cities that must not be trespassed. Guarded by the snow beasts of Kunlun Mountain, anyone who enters by mistake is fated to perish within the bellies of those beasts.” “Thank you, elder brother, for the warning. I shall not venture recklessly into Ancient Law Mountain.” Under the gloomy night sky, Baili An’s dark eyes flickered briefly with a shocking gleam, before settling back to calmness with a gust of snow. An hour later… “Gather the troops! Gather the troops! A brazen thief trespassed into Ancient Law Mountain and stole the Empress’s secret treasure! All of Xianling City, be on high alert and conduct a thorough search!” “Orders from the Inner City Governor! Any suspicious individuals, regardless of status, will be shown no mercy! They are to be captured immediately and tortured in Sin Prison!” Clad in golden armor, the resonant sounds shattered the tranquil night. The light from the torches turned the ink-colored sky into a crimson long night. That fire seemed to possess a mystical Spiritual Power, like a pair of cold, penetrating eyes that could discern the dark and the light in the night. Above, numerous No-fly Barriers filled the sky. Layers upon layers of Purple Extreme Immortal Light enveloped the vast mountain range, a spectacle so mighty that not even a cultivator in the Tribulation Realm could linger above. As people witnessed these phenomena in the sky, only one thought crossed their minds. The Empress has acted… Ancient pathways bore snow; the city steeped in stern solemnity. Clear moonlight spread across Immortal City, casting an unsettling brilliance over the spectacular scene. Lin Yuan looked out the window with a heavy heart. Why were those two not staying quietly in the inn at such a critical time? His heart was as heavy as snow, cold and desolate. All thirty-two cities and their thousands of streets were starkly silent. Aside from the armed forces of White Armor City searching every corner, within a short time, not a single commoner could be seen on the streets. On an ancient path, a girl in Light Armor from Blue Feathers commanded her troops. Suddenly, from the distant streets, the sound of wind chimes echoed. Clip-clop, clip-clop… The clear sound of hooves was like a celestial orchestra. A Nine-headed Unicorn, pristine as driven snow, pulled the Golden Jade Carriage. Clouds unfurled, fairy mist billowed, and layers of white gauzy curtains fluttered ethereally around the carriage, yet the beauty within remained unseen. Behind the young girl-commander, a City Guard was about to step forward for an inspection. The girl in blue Light Armor glanced sideways, her gaze hardening with a hint of scorn. She raised a hand to stop the guard behind her and coldly laughed, “The person inside that carriage is too precious. Should you step up for an inspection, be careful lest you cannot handle the consequences.” The Inner City Governor had already strictly ordered that any individuals with suspicious behavior were to be brought back for rigorous investigation in Sin Prison. Regardless of how precious the individual was, no exceptions were to be made. Seeing the mocking expression on the young girl’s face, it was clear she wasn’t about to let the inspection slide but rather recognized the person inside the carriage and held a deep grudge against them. She intended to conduct the inspection herself. The girl in light armor rode her horse to the forefront of the carriage, crossed her arms and said, “Look who I’ve run into. Isn’t this Fang Geyu, the young miss from Shifang City?” From within the carriage, a lazy and vague voice of a girl replied, “A good dog does not block the way.” Though her voice was hoarse as if scarcely awake, it carried an utmost arrogance. The girl in light armor sneered, “Are you truly unaware of your situation? Just half an hour ago, the Empress’s secret treasure was stolen, and the city is under strict guard. Now, only you are left on the street; suspected of crime, and unless you can prove your innocence, you might have to accompany me to Sin Prison.” “How annoying,” came the voice from the carriage, beautiful yet clearly impatient. “If the treasure is lost, go find the thief. You, as City Guards, lost the Empress’s belongings, failing in your duty, and still have the audacity to bark around like dogs here.” The girl in light armor mocked further, “Fang Geyu, now I suspect you’re the thieving culprit! What are you doing wandering around so late at night, not sleeping, and not returning to the inn? Anomalies suggest the presence of a demon.” “Lan Youdie, stop falsely accusing others. In this world, what treasures do I, Fang Geyu, lack that I would need to come all this way to steal?” “Then why have you not returned to your inn and instead flaunt about here?” “I’m hungry, is it wrong to eat a late-night snack?” “To eat a late-night snack, I think you have a guilty conscience!” Inside the carriage, Fang Geyu’s complexion was pale; she dared not light the candle within. Her fingers tightly gripped the table, and the black velvet cloak she wore was damp with a stain. It was blood. Her lips were devoid of any color, and her cheeks and neck were covered in cold sweat.
