"Hmm, haven't you always wanted to go into the city to have a look? This time there's a good opportunity, so I'll take you with me," Wang Yanfeng said with a smile as he looked at him.
He had a rather strange emotion when it came to Tang San.
In this past year, he had indeed taught Tang San quite a bit, but he had also learned many things from Tang San. Originally, he thought that Tang San could have learned only some superficial skills from that mysterious person. However, when he began to follow Tang San in learning the Wind Blade Manoeuvres, he discovered that Tang San had opened a new door for him.
Although Wang Yanfeng was still at the Fourth stage cultivation level, he was completely certain that compared to himself a year ago, he was now utterly different.
This change was all thanks to Tang San. Therefore, even though Tang San was young, Wang Yanfeng had never underestimated him. In addition, he noticed that the power of Tang San's wind blades was continuously increasing. This steady progression made it so that Wang Yanfeng couldn't be sure of Tang San's true strength; he could only vaguely feel that the child was improving very quickly.
Thus, during practical combat lessons, while the other four would spar with one another, Wang Yanfeng would exclude Tang San from practicing combat, using his young age as the reason.
A year ago, Tang San had even defeated him, so what was the point of combat training for him? Moreover, Wang Yanfeng paid special attention to concealing Tang San's strength.
Being able to go to the city was naturally a good thing for Tang San. He was eager to understand this world.
If it hadn't been for his insufficient strength and lack of a legitimate identity, he would have longed to leave this place.
From Wang Yanfeng's teaching, he knew that this world was very big, much, much larger than the Soul Land he had lived in his previous life. In such a vast world, finding one person was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was terribly difficult. Moreover, humans were so insignificant in this world that he couldn't be certain what his reborn wife Xiaowu's situation would be like.
The reason he couldn't bear to part with that bit of divine consciousness was also that it allowed him to vaguely sense whether his reincarnated wife was still alive.
This was the only thing that he could be sure of. Yes, his wife was still alive, somewhere in this world. If he could cultivate to at least a God Level status, he could even use his divine consciousness to search for her more effectively. But he couldn't wait!
Even though the spirituality of heaven and earth was very rich in this world, the restrictions of this plane on him were also numerous. Under such circumstances, to cultivate to a God Rank status, he would not know how much oppression and hardship he would have to endure. By the time he succeeded in his cultivation, it would be hard to know what would become of his wife.
Whether she was safe, whether she would fall in love with someone else, become someone else's partner, these were Tang San's biggest concerns.
The stronger his strength became, the more impatient he felt to leave this place.
While he was thinking, his gaze had already moved to the map in front of him.
The reason this map was called rudimentary was that it had very few markings. Just a few rough notations.
On the rectangular map, a line stretched from the northwest all the way to the southeast, serving as a divider.
One side of the line was marked with Tianyu Empire, and the other side with Rihchen Empire. This was clearly the division between the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan.
From the map's area, the two empires looked to be roughly the same size, with the Spirit Clan's Rihchen Empire seemingly a bit bigger.
Beyond that, at the very center of the map, near the middle of the dividing line, there was a clearly marked city.
Holy Spirit City! This was also the central city of both the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan, co-governed by the two races, the legendary first city of the continent.
Moving his gaze to the top right corner of the map, Tang San quickly found another city's marking. Next to the marking it read: Jiali City!
Yes, Jiali City is one of the seven major cities of the Tianyu Empire closest to Wind Wolf Town. Although this place is a bit remote, for the Monster Clan, it is an extremely coveted destination.
There are fifteen cities on the continent in total, with each of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan holding seven. As for Holy Spirit City, both claim it as their own. Thus, both sides often boast of having eight major cities.
As for Wind Wolf Town, it simply isn't on the map. This map merely marks the locations of the fifteen major cities within the two great empires.
A single sweep over this map with his gaze, memorizing the most distinct mountains, rivers, and the locations of the cities, Tang San's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.
His beloved wife was somewhere indicated on this map! Xiaowu, where are you exactly?
Looking at the rich changes in Tang San's expression, Wang Yanfeng didn't feel surprised. He himself felt much more excitement than Tang San when he first entered a major city.
"Jiali City is not like our Wind Wolf Town. In such a big city, you can find Monster Clan members of nearly any rank, and it's even possible for members of the Spirit Clan to exist. We are merely vassals, the lowest status there. Such major cities don't even allow slaves to enter. I will help you arrange a temporary vassal identity card, which you must carry with you at all times. Otherwise, you may be risking your life at any moment."
"Teacher, is the city dangerous?" Tang San had already regained his composure at this point.
Wang Yanfeng shook his head and said, "Normally, no one would pay attention to the likes of us, so naturally, there's no talk of danger. But we still need to be as cautious as possible. When we get there, just follow me and listen to my instructions. Remember, don't talk too much, and don't look around too much. You must be very careful."
"Okay," Tang San nodded.
He was very interested in the cities of this world as well. It seemed safe in Wind Wolf Town for now, but there was no chance to search for his wife, and he needed to see the outside world to find ways to enhance himself. He could feel that breaking through from the Fourth Rank to the Fifth level of the Mysterious Heaven Method would become even harder.
Two days later, Wang Yanfeng finalized the procedures and then left Wind Wolf Town together with Tang San.
Due to Wang Yanfeng's own Fourth stage cultivation level, he was the strongest human vassal in the entire Wind Wolf Town. Ordinary Wolf Monsters didn't show him a good face, but they also didn't hurl abuse at him.
Stepping out of Wind Wolf Town, Tang San immediately felt a strange sensation. It was an exhilarating feeling as if the sea allowed the fish to leap at will, and the sky let the birds fly freely.
Taking a deep breath, the air seemed to become a bit more refreshing.
Wang Yanfeng took him on a small path. According to Wang Yanfeng, following this path would lead them to the main road to Jiali City, and from there, they could reach Jiali City by continuing along the road.
This small path was relatively short and not very wide, only three or four meters across. It wasn't exactly flat but wasn't too rough either. The ground was covered with pebbles, a job that was obviously done by human slaves.
The task assigned to Wang Yanfeng by the Wind Wolf Lord this time was to deliver a tribute list to the Wind Wolf Clan Leader in Jiali City.
The Wolf Monster Clan is one of the grand clans within the entire Monster Clan. Although they have not grown powerful enough to possess a city of their own, their large numbers and individual combat capacities make them significant. They rank within the top twenty amongst all Monster Clans, and even though it's just barely within the twenty, one must realize that there are over a hundred different Monster races within the Monster Clan. Being in the top twenty is already quite formidable.
The Wind Wolf Tribe, being one of the weaker branches within the Wolf Monster race, is still considered one of the grand clans. The Wind Wolf Clan Leader is a powerful being who can enter the core circle of the Wolf Monster Clan.
As a young lord of the Wind Wolf Tribe, the Wind Wolf Lord has to offer tribute to the clan leader every year to show submission. It certainly isn't within Wang Yanfeng's responsibilities to deliver the tribute itself. At the end of the year, the Wind Wolf Lord and the Wind Wolf High Priest will personally escort it to Jiali City.
This time, Wang Yanfeng's dispatch is to deliver the list and request confirmation from the Wind Wolf Clan Leader. If the clan leader is dissatisfied, it could pose significant trouble for the Wind Wolf Lord. Conversely, if the clan leader is pleased, the benefits would naturally be substantial.
