Chapter 442 Arriving at the Western Xia Demon Kingdom!
"Sister!" Hou Qing, who was standing by, witnessed this scene and his face suddenly changed drastically. He was in a panic. He cried out in shock, his voice filled with fear and worry.
As Li Chunfeng injected spiritual power into Bai Jie's forehead, the blood-colored spiritual power that was originally surging around Bai Jie seemed to be drawn away, and instantly dissipated, quickly flowing back into her body like a flood that broke through a dam!
"Where...where...is this?" Bai Jie's eyes gradually regained clarity, their bloodshot pupils returning to their original color. She looked around blankly, seemingly unfamiliar with her surroundings.
"Go back!" Li Chunfeng looked at Bai Jie and said softly. His voice was calm and gentle, as if carrying an irresistible power.
However, at this moment, a series of light footsteps were heard. Da! Da! Da! The sound came from far away and finally stopped at the door of the secret room. Li Chunfeng turned his head and saw Jiang Chen slowly walking out of the secret room.
Jiang Chen looked up at Li Chunfeng, and their eyes met, but he didn't say hello. Instead, he looked directly at Bai Jie and Hou Qing and said, "It's done! Let's go!"
Seeing that Bai Jie had only switched to a different personality and hadn't suffered any substantial harm, Hou Qing nodded in relief and responded, "Yes!"
With the departure of the three Corpse Ancestors, Hidden Weapon Valley once again fell into a deathly silence. The entire valley was so quiet that only the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the occasional lingering of a dark aura from the secret chamber could be heard. That aura was fleeting, as if reminding everyone that someone hadn't left.
............................
Time flew by like a fleeting arrow. Just over half a month had passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Li Xingyun and the other two had been traveling non-stop until they finally reached the border between the Shenwu Empire and the Xixia Demon Kingdom.
Standing on the carriage, Li Xingyun gazed into the distance. As far as his eyes could see, there was an endless expanse of yellow desert, like a sea of sand, stretching endlessly. He couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the border with the Western Xia Demon Kingdom? What a desolate place!"
Although he had heard of the hundreds of miles of desert stretching between the Shenwu Empire and the Xixia Demon Kingdom, this was Li Xingyun's first time witnessing this vast expanse of sand. The scene before him deeply shocked him, and a sense of awe for nature welled up in his heart.
Seeing this, Ye Xian hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, sir, this is the border between the two countries. This desert is vast and sparsely populated. It's not easy to find a place to stay in this desert of hundreds of miles! So, we have to speed up today, otherwise it will be difficult to find a suitable place to rest before dark."
Along the way, Li Xingyun and the other two were in no rush, instead strolling leisurely. After all, with their cultivation, reaching the borders of the Western Xia Demon Kingdom was not difficult. However, now faced with this barren desert, they realized they could no longer proceed at their leisurely pace.
Li Xingyun thought for a moment, then nodded decisively, "Well, let's travel light. Leave all unnecessary luggage behind and only take the necessities. This will reduce the burden and speed up the journey."
Xixia Monster Country, the territory of the monster race, is full of unknowns and mysteries to outsiders. The three of them knew the monster race's strength, so they decided to keep a low profile.
At this time, the sun had just passed noon, so it was still early. With the three of them's cultivation, even if they had to rush to their destination, they would still have enough time to stop in the cities along the way, stroll around, and experience the local customs and culture.
As they entered the city, they were immediately surrounded by a bustling scene. The streets were lined with all kinds of stalls, and the stall owners were enthusiastically selling their goods.
"Slave girl... a top-quality slave girl, don't miss her if you pass by."
"Blood tiger meat is selling cheap... Blood tiger meat is selling cheap!"
"This is top-quality yang grass... Don't miss it if you're passing by. It can cure impotence, premature ejaculation, and short duration of erection..."
The hawking sounds of various vendors were overwhelming. Li Xingyun and the other two were attracted by the lively atmosphere. They looked around curiously, feeling the unique charm of this unfamiliar place.
"It's so lively!" Li Xingyun exclaimed heartily, watching the passersby and the vendors lining the streets. The people here seemed full of life and energy, a world so different from what they had experienced before.
Surprisingly, the goods sold here are completely different from those in the Shenwu Empire. Walking down the street, one will find that most of the residents here are demons, who more or less retain some of the characteristics of demon beasts, such as long ears, furry tails, and even wings.
Of course, the human race is not completely extinct, but its number is relatively small. Most of these human races are merchants traveling between the two countries, and their strength is quite impressive.
"The demon tribe has retained some of the habits of demon beasts, so the nightlife in the Western Xia Demon Kingdom is relatively rich." Although Ye Xian was also setting foot on this land for the first time, he obviously had a deep understanding of it.
"Nightlife? Different from the Shenwu Empire?" Li Xingyun was stunned when he heard this, and curiosity suddenly surged in his heart.
"Yes, that's true." Ye Xian nodded and continued to explain, "I heard that the nightlife here not only includes brothels, but also places like underground arenas, but I'm not sure what else there is specifically." He scratched his head a little embarrassedly. After all, these were just rumors he had heard from others, and he had no idea what the actual situation was.
"Haha...that's great. I must experience it tonight!" Li Xingyun nodded happily, then led the two of them for a stroll along the street.
"Young Master...you are so bad!" Ye Qingcheng looked at Li Xingyun's evil smile and couldn't help but make a joke.
"Haha...Women don't love bad men!" Li Xingyun responded with a smile, his eyes sweeping over the vendors on both sides.
What interested Li Xingyun the most was the trafficker selling female slaves.
A dealer with a boar's head on his head was trying his best to sell his female slave to passers-by.
The female slaves were locked in a large cage. Some were human, but more were demons.
"Dear human brother, would you like to take a look at the female slave? She is absolutely clean and absolutely well-behaved!" When the wild boar dealer saw Li Xingyun looking at him, he hurried forward and started to sell enthusiastically.
The human beings who can come to the Xixia Demon Kingdom are all wealthy people, so he naturally has to give them a warm welcome!
"Okay, how much are they?" Li Xingyun asked with a smile.
Every place has its own unique customs and habits, and in this society, the buying and selling of slaves is a common thing. Usually, these slaves are mostly from the women of the defeated side or other vulnerable groups.
