54 Chapter 54: Tiger Mountain City
"Yang!! Did you like my gifts?" YueLiang cried out, ignoring her father a few steps from her.
"Hehe… What gifts… Little fox, you clearly robbed all of them… but I liked them a lot… thank you…" Tian Yang's voice came out after a while.
"Idiot… I didn't rob them… They… they are gifts from my mom and dad… and naturally me…" YueLiang poted innocently, still ignoring her father, who couldn't help but shout out loud: "Nonsense… AHH!!!"
He wanted to shout more, but Zhu Huli pinched his ribs a few times, making him scream in pain.
"Hehe… your father seems quite happy…" Tian Yang's chuckles resounded again from the crystal after a while.
"Of course…" YueLiang giggled, looking at the funny scene before her, and then asked: "You contact me so fast… Did you miss me already so much?"
"Not really… I want to know something…"
Tian Yang's voice came out again, but hearing his words, she couldn't help but pout: "Bastard… what do you want to know?"
"Hmm… where did you find that strange weapon?"
"Oh!! You mean that sword… Mom and dad got it from one of those people who attacked the village a few days ago…" YueLiang answered after a while.
"Hmm… It's logical. Only those ancient monsters can have something like this…"
Bai Lang couldn't endure anymore and started shouting, again: "Tian Yang… You must treat that weapon like you treat my little daughter… Do you understand?"
Tian Yang only answered after a while, with a confused tone: Weapon?? What weapon??"
YueLiang could help but giggle, hearing Tian Yang's words, but Bai Lang became even more incense and shouted again even louder: "I warn you… Little b…"
BOOM!!!
But before he could finish his words, Zhu Huli kicked him in the butt so hard that his body was sent to the other side of the flying ship.
"Hehe, Yang… you must be careful… Don't forget that grandpa is no more on your side, so don't do any stupid things. It's best to stop now. Otherwise, it will be hard for me to resist anymore… I love you!!"
Tian Yang knew that it was difficult, even for her, so he interrupted the connection between the treasures and keep going on his journey.

A few hours later, when it was only a few hours to night, he could see the walls of a big city in the distance.
Finally, he reached his destination.
Tiger Mountain City.
He couldn't just go there with this flying ship so, he landed down a few miles from the city.
It would be a problem if he kept his otherworldly appearance, so he changed back to a more normal one, with the Ancient Technique Myriad Transformation Body Art.
He changed his hair back to black ebony, and his face became a bit less mature.
His appearance turned back similar to two years ago, but there was a little problem.
The strange tiny crystal between his eyebrows was still visible.
When he tried to bring his essence qi closer to it, he felt something similar to a starving beast, devouring all that energy.
After a few tries, he could only sign and leave it there in perfect views.
"Damn, maybe I should hide it with some cloth…"
There were two reasons why he changed back to this look.
One because he didn't want to attract too much attention from some annoying ladies, and second because he wanted to uncover his identity in this life since his memories were still a little blurred.
He tried many times in the last few days, but he gained only some fragments.

When he walked closer to the city, he was shocked to see the countless guards defending the city walls.
It was as if they were preparing to face an imminent battle.
They weren't formed only by middle-aged people, but youths and old men were between them.
"It seems that the situation is even worse than I imagined. I should find some fresh news."
Luckily, those guards weren't there to check every person, so he entered the city without any problem.
The streets were filled with people.
They moved around in a frenzy as if they had savage beasts at their backs.
Tian Yang found it challenging to make even some steps, so instead of wasting any more time, he started moving between the crowd like a ghost.
He moved around the city and found a little tavern to collect some information.
The tavern was bursting with people of different strengths, and naturally, it was filled too, so he stood outside and started collecting some news.
With his cultivation, it was easy for him to listen to each dialogue inside the tavern, even from outside.

"It terrible. We lost two more cities in the west, today…"
"What?? Two in a single day… This… what the hell are those monsters??"
"Huh… No one knows it yet. But the absurd thing is that we still don't know their true appearance."
"That impossible… are they immortal?? We should have killed some of them…"
"Of course not… we already killed some of them, but it was impossible to collect even one of their bodies. They always cleaned up all the battlefields and left behind only the skeleton of our human race. Those bastards used our bones like material to build up their strange monoliths."
"Those animals… who knows how many people have already died…"
"Sigh… the numbers is uncalculable… but there is good news from the Capital. They sent a powerful army and a lot of experts to support the West Region. They will surely stop them…"
"If they sent expert from the Imperial city, then the west situation will be fixed… But what about the Sects in West Region?? Why there is no news about them…"
"There are a few pieces of information about them. I heard that some are preparing for the imminent war. After all, most of the discipline there comes from those lands… they would not abandon their families… But…"
"Speak!!!"
"… There are rumors that one of the strongest Sets in the West Region was eradicated a few days ago, by the enemy…"
"Impossible…"
|||
A few people dressed in leather from the monster beast were discussing the South Region at another table.
Naturally, Tian Yang Was attracted by then too and kept listening.
"Boss… we should move to the south… the West Region is already in a complete mess, and there are strange rumors about the East region too…"
"What kind of strange rumors??"
"… a lot of travelers found some of the villages in the mountain, deserted. Men, women, and kids disappeared without leaving behind any traces… damn… even the animals disappeared… Boss… It's too creepy…"
"Why are you so worried? They probably received the news and went to one of the major cities for more protection…"
"No… No… Boss… this is not the case… You should know the Angry Tiger Sacred Mountain, right?"
"Of course… Who doesn't know about them…"
"Huh… well, they searched everywhere, but they found no group of people walking along the safe roads or the dangerous one… nothing…"
"Sigh… Did the Heaven want the destruction of this world??... first those strange events eight days ago… then that terrifying tempest, last night… Why… why is something like this happening…"
"For that reason, we should move to the South Region… it's much safer there…"
"Fine… we will depart tomorrow…"
|||
Tian Yang kept listening for a few hours to the dialogue inside the tavern, and he couldn't help but sigh at the terrible consequences of their actions.
But the most awful thing was that this was only the beginning because he knew that the most insidious and obscure hands still needed to make their move.
There were still many remnants of the Evil race in the world, and this was a perfect opportunity to start their plans again.
He felt even more pressure on his back, so he stopped listening to those few whispers and walked towards his true destination of this trip.
In the last reincarnation, he planted a few hidden forces in each city, and naturally, the Tiger Mountian City was one of them.
With their help, he could better understand the situation, so it was one of his priorities now.
His speed was incredible, and he finally reached his destination after a while, but what appeared before him was a giant building and not the little shop he was expecting.
When his eyes landed on the sign, he could help but knit his brown and snort: "What are those damned birds doing, here??"

In the meantime, inside one of the guard posts, few people were arguing about something.
"Aru sure about it?"
"Yes… It should be him. His face, height, and hair match. I'm sure he is the Crown Prince."
