It must be said, Qiao Mu has already made a big reputation in the rivers and lakes.

The common people of the desolate Southwest Province don’t speak.

The reputation of the Qiao family members is well-known throughout Jiu Province to the Tide Listening Building storytellers and the people of the Jianghu.

In time, the name of the Qiao family members will shine on the Martial Arts Ranking List of Tide Listening Building, becoming a martial arts legend that generations of people in the Jianghu look up to.

A person’s name brings influence.

With Qiao Mu’s reputation, there is no need to search blindly like a headless fly.

Now that he has shown his face in the tavern, without even revealing his identity, it has already attracted the attention of the Tide Listening Building storytellers, who promptly invited him to the private room upstairs for a detailed discussion.

Qiao Mu casually picked up the Impermanent Demon Cat and followed Clairvoyance upstairs.

As for the skilled martial artists gathered in the hall, he didn’t need to pay much attention to them now.

The Martial Saint spent decades shattering the entire martial arts world, ushering it into a new era.

In today’s martial arts world, most superb martial artists are either directly or indirectly connected to the Wuji Association or the founding emperor of Great Yan in the palace.

Apart from these, the rest of the martial artists are still stuck in the past, with spiritual refining being their specialty, so Qiao Mu didn’t need to pay much attention to them.

…………

Clairvoyance led Qiao Mu to a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, which faced the street and offered a view of the mountain city from the balcony.

Linhe City is not small, it sits by the mountains and water.

The mountains are numerous, and the water is called Sky Piercing River.

This big city is surrounded by mountains, nestled in a valley between mountain ranges. The land is flat and the Sky Piercing River flows through it, making it a rare fertile land in the Southwest Province.

Looking into the distance from the railing, you can see people walking in the streets and alleys of Linhe City. It is not as bustling as the Imperial Capital, but compared to Heyang City in Nan Province, it is quite impressive.

However, the gentle breeze also brings along a smell of feces and urine, which can be quite unpleasant.

Upon closer inspection, besides pedestrians, there are occasionally white divine cows and purebred foals walking on the streets. When passersby see these cows and horses, they may not bow as respectfully as they would to the Cat Power Immortal, but they still quickly make way.

The stench in the streets mainly comes from these cows and horses walking around.

Despite the abundance of dung, these animals are remarkable. They are not ordinary livestock, as they are a unique breed with sleek, clean coats.

These unique cows and horses are well taken care of, with their fur visibly groomed and cleaned by professionals. They are not dirty like common wild animals or livestock; instead, they are quite neat and eye-catching.

Qiao Mu leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, saying, "I thought this Southwest Province was a remote place with few people, but I didn’t expect such a big city. Even though the city is big, there are still many walking animals. It seems like the people here haven’t civilized yet, worshiping these animals as gods?"

"Elder Lao, you may not know. Although Linhe City is a big city, it may not be much different from other provinces… But in the whole Southwest Province, how many cities like this are there?"

"The ten thousand mountains are where monsters roam freely, and humans can only rely on strong cities to survive together."

"Therefore, in this Southwest Province, there are only a few big and small cities, but very few towns and villages in the mountains… Without strong cities to protect the towns and villages, how can they survive in these vast mountains?"

Qiao Mu pondered, recalling the group of bandits led by Zhang Kui.

No wonder Zhang Kui was eager to return to the mountain stronghold back then – it seems that being a bandit in this Southwest Province is not a good thing.

Tyranny is fiercer than a tiger, heavy taxes are deadlier than a snake.

However, within these ten thousand mountains, there are not ordinary tigers and snakes, but monsters that ordinary people find hard to resist.

"In the entire Southwest Province, there are only two forces that can protect the people from the threat of monsters: The official soldiers defending the strong cities, and the Immortal Gate Yunxiao Sect, along with the cultivators and their spiritual beasts," Clairvoyance said.

"The villagers who worship the Yunxiao Sect’s immortals can seek refuge with the Immortal Gate. Occasionally, cultivators from the sect will come out to tame demon beasts, turning them into Immortal Spirit Beasts."

The situation in Southwest Province is different from that in Zhong Province and Nan Province.

In Zhong Province, there is a disaster caused by inhuman beings, while in Southwest Province, there are more animal disasters.

Inhuman Disaster is like a magical battle, just like when the rain comes, it’s unpredictable.

Although it often destroys cities, similar to natural disasters like floods, heavy rains, earthquakes, its occurrence is rare.

However, the animal disasters in the mountains and forests are a real threat, visible and tangible, widely present in the lives of the mountain people.

Therefore, Immortal Spirit Beasts like Cat Power Immortal are highly worshipped and believed by the people in Southwest Province.

"Not to mention Cat Power Immortal, even the offspring bred by Immortal Spirit Beasts are revered as sacred cows and horses within this capital city, they can roam the streets."

Storyteller Clairvoyance leaned on the railing and looked down.

On the big street, someone was following a pure golden retriever, holding a shovel to clean up a fresh dog poop.

Unexpectedly, the giant dog in front suddenly lifted its hind leg, kicking the poop scooper directly in the chest, sending the person flying with the shovel, spitting out blood and falling to the ground.

Linhe City is a city of many animals.

The highest status belongs to the group of immortals from the Yunxiao Sect in the Taoist temple, highly respected by the people.

The immortals rarely appear, usually represented by disciples of the Yunxiao Sect and spiritual beasts under their command, also known as "Cat Power Immortals," traveling in divine carriages, receiving cheers and worship from the people.

It’s even more prestigious than the sedan chairs of high-ranking officials and nobles.

Further back are the officials of the Great Yan city and the common people.

The status of immortals is higher than that of animals, and the status of animals is higher than that of the people.

This is the invisible rule of this hundred-thousand-mountain area.

"The one who can resist the monsters and protect the people is a superior being, a being above humans and animals," Clairvoyance said.

"Now, among the strong ones who can resist the monsters, there is another Feather King, which is considered fortunate for the Southwest Province."

"Who is this Feather King?" Qiao Mu asked.

"I don’t know."

"You don’t know about the Tide Listening Building either?" Qiao Mu doubted.

"The Tide Listening Building is not all-knowing. In the past, I was able to escape the Hundred-mile Desert because of a fierce battle with a member of the Qiao family. I certainly didn’t hide this from the late Qiao Jin," Storyteller Clairvoyance shrugged.

Even the Tide Listening Building doesn’t know everything. One thing they can’t figure out is how a member of the Qiao family emerged from between the rocks.

"Apart from the Feather King, you do know about the inheritance of the Spear Saint, right?" Qiao Mu asked again.

This is the purpose of his journey.

"Naturally….Senior Qiao is also interested in ‘Birds Adoring the Phoenix Spear’?" Clairvoyance spoke up.

"In fact, one of the advocates promoting the transmission of ‘Birds Adoring the Phoenix Spear’ is known as a descendant of the ‘Spear Saint’…"

"The current top martial peak expert on the Power List, Demon Spear, Qing Li."
