180: Chapter 182 Can a dilapidated house really be called a city?

" Sigh, alright! " Lin Kuang didn't want to discuss it with him too much either, so he began looking at the map, cursing inwardly.

" Why is there a city built in the mountains, and at this scale, it should only count as a town! "

Xiao Rou saw that Lin Kuang was looking at the location of Maple Leaf City and explained, " Although it is called Maple Leaf City, it is actually more like a secret base for a small group! "

" What do you mean? "

" The Cultivators here all use poison; if it were in a city area, it would be very easy to poison other Cultivators! "

" That is why they built the city in the mountains; it is more convenient to Cultivate poison arts that way! "

" Also, there is a small Sect, called the Poison Spirit Sect. It is not large, with only a hundred Cultivators, but its Sect strength can rank in the top thirty of the Xuanyuan Dynasty! "

" What? Top thirty? " Yu Xiaotang, who had just been enjoying herself, suddenly recalled something thoughtfully.

No, a hundred Cultivators? Top thirty in the Dynasty? How do these words go together!

Hearing them discuss the Poison Spirit Sect, Yu Xiaotang thought of her own Miaoyu Sect and couldn't help but worry.

The Miaoyu Sect can only be considered a small-to-medium Sect in the North; if placed within the Dynasty, it is nothing! Ever since that Elder of the Sect fell, the Miaoyu Sect has only been able to survive by attaching itself to some large Sects.

Now it has even been reduced to a Pill Refining Room.

If this continues, the Cultivation Alliance will probably revoke the Sect's qualification to hold Sect challenges.

Yu Xiaotang suddenly felt the chicken leg in her hand was no longer tasty, and she began to worry internally: Can I really shoulder this burden?

Even if I can't, would Master agree to a merger? And can I join Lin Kuang to charge into the Dynasty Grand Competition?

He and Ji Chanxi are so strong; if the contestants are all at this level of strength, what will I do?

Hmm?

While Yu Xiaotang was thinking, Xiao Rou suddenly called out to her: " Sister Xiao Tang, the chicken leg is about to fall! "

" Oh! " Yu Xiaotang noticed the chicken leg was about to slip away and took a bite.

Sigh! It is so hard. If only my talent were as good as Lin Kuang's! Forget about being a Sect Master of a small Sect, I might even be able to become a generation's Female Sword Immortal.

While Yu Xiaotang was tasting the chicken leg, Lin Kuang came to her side and put an arm around her shoulder: " If you like it, eat more! Don't look so gloomy! I'm not going to snatch it from you! "

Yu Xiaotang glanced at the sturdy Lin Kuang, and instantly felt motivated to improve: Lin Kuang has persisted for so long for this goal! I cannot show weakness either!

As his woman, can I only be protected by him? Can I not protect him?

Right! I cannot give up on myself!

I! Yu Xiaotang! Am the person who wants to replace Master and become the number one female sword of Qiongming!

Yu Xiaotang pumped herself up again in her heart, tilted her head to look at Lin Kuang, and they continued to move toward Maple Leaf City like this.

" Good! I want to see! What the strength of a top 30 Sect in the Dynasty is like! " Yu Xiaotang discussed the strength of the Poison Spirit Sect while eating the chicken leg.

" Why is Sister Xiao Tang suddenly full of fighting spirit again? " Xiao Rou glanced at Yu Xiaotang, whose expression changed rapidly, and scratched her head, expressing that she didn't understand.

Lin Kuang watched Yu Xiaotang, who had broken free from his embrace and was bouncing ahead, and smiled dotingly: " Her? She always cheers herself up inexplicably! "

" Don't worry about her, you'll get used to it! Who knows, she might be wailing in pain in a little while! "

" Let's go, Xiao Rou! "

Lin Kuang called out to Xiao Rou, who was staring blankly at Yu Xiaotang.

...

After the three of them flew over a forest, they only found an old-fashioned, large residence.

Yu Xiaotang glanced at the plaque, which was densely covered with ancient text: " How could there be a large residence in this kind of deep mountain forest? "

Lin Kuang looked around and said slowly: " This is Maple Leaf City! "

" Ah? Maple Leaf City? " Yu Xiaotang and Xiao Rou exclaimed in surprise at the same time: " This is not like the city I imagined! Why is it so small! "

" By the way, Lin Kuang, isn't the Poison Spirit Sect a top 30 Sect in the Dynasty? Shouldn't the scale be very large? How could they stay in such a dilapidated place! " Xiao Rou started to worry a little; this kind of roadside house looked unsafe at first glance.

" Rest assured! We have no conflict of interest with them, so staying here for the night shouldn't cause any problems! Furthermore, according to the Dynasty regulations, the challenging Elder is generally not very strong! "

" Because the Dynasty's consideration is to mobilize the enthusiasm of ordinary Cultivators and Loose Cultivators, they generally won't get serious! "

" Unless it is that kind of grand competition with other Sects, only then will they get serious! "

Lin Kuang explained to Xiao Rou, and Xiao Rou, who had been sweating for Lin Kuang the whole way, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

" Chi-chi-chi — — "

At this moment, the Blue Flame Fox, which had not been taken back by Xiao Rou, pointed them to a pitch-black thing.

" Hmm? What is that thing? " A curious Yu Xiaotang stared at the pitch-black thing and wanted to go in and see.

" Wait! " Lin Kuang hurriedly grabbed Yu Xiaotang's wrist.

Because through wave sensing, Lin Kuang discovered that the thing seemed to be someone else's trap; walking over there would cause one to fall into an abyss. After all, this large residence was just a smokescreen, and the real Maple Leaf City was underground.

[ Ding! ]

The moment he grabbed Yu Xiaotang's wrist, the System's notification sound rang out simultaneously.

[ Ding! Mission triggered: Avoid all of Song Jinshu's traps, and before entering Maple Leaf City, give her a small lesson (a physical lesson) ]

[ Mission reward: Divine Sense strength increased by 50% (After the increase, the host's Divine Sense strength will be infinitely close to a Late Stage Cultivator of the Fifth Realm, and can be immune to all mental attacks from Late Stage Cultivators of the Fifth Realm and below) ]

Lin Kuang glanced at the mission and recalled that his Divine Sense strength had already increased by 120% before; if he completed this upgrade, it would be equivalent to an increase of 180%!

Calculating it this way, the increase in Divine Sense strength was actually not that obvious.

However, this is also good; mental control is much stronger than physical attacks! And it is easier to kill with one strike.

After all, among Cultivators of the same realm, very few are as powerful as Xia Qianzhen and can contend with him.

After all, there is a big difference between having and not having some abilities; when people here test him, he can also use this Divine Sense to teach the other side a lesson.

" What's wrong? Lin Kuang? Is that black lump of a thing problematic? "

Yu Xiaotang was distracted when she was pulled by Lin Kuang, and that pitch-black thing disappeared.

" It is indeed not a good thing; it is a Cultivator's Spirit Beast, specifically placed there to lure Cultivators! As soon as you touch it, you will fall into a trap! "

" And it is an insect-type Spirit Beast, oh! "

" Insect? " Lin Kuang extracted the keyword in an instant, which gave Yu Xiaotang a fright; she immediately shrank back and obediently stuck behind Lin Kuang.

" This... what is this? " Xiao Rou looked at Yu Xiaotang in confusion.

" Hahaha, she is afraid of insects! "

" In the future, Xiao Rou, you can tame some insect-type Spirit Beasts, and when she bullies you, just release them to scare her! " Lin Kuang smiled, hooking Yu Xiaotang's chin.

" Aiya! You are annoying! You only know how to bully me! You are even more rampant now! You even want to bring Xiao Rou along to bully me? " Yu Xiaotang opened her mouth, wanting to bite Lin Kuang's finger.

" Rest assured, Sister Xiao Tang, I won't use insects to scare you! Besides, I haven't come into contact with many Spirit Beasts. I heard that insect-type Spirit Beasts are very picky, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of them, so I won't go and tame them! "

Xiao Rou glanced at Yu Xiaotang's fearful appearance and replied with high emotional intelligence.

" Xiao Rou, you are the best! " Yu Xiaotang rolled her eyes at Lin Kuang, immediately linked arms with Xiao Rou again, and rested her head in her embrace.

" Alright, you two be careful. I heard that Cultivators who play with poison are relatively dark-hearted and like to hide in some corner to ambush people! "

" And they especially love traps; there are probably quite a few in this house! Pay attention at all times! "

After Lin Kuang finished explaining the situation inside, he walked in.

These traps were hidden using special methods, but who is Lin Kuang? His Divine Sense is powerful; in his eyes, these traps are all clearly marked.
