The system is unreliable, the host can only save herself

After walking out of this mountain road, the road became much easier to walk on. There were more and more pedestrians on the road, some pushing carts, some carrying loads, and some driving ox carts and horse carriages.

Gu Lili saw the young man named Xiao Shanzi stopped a carriage. The two sides bargained for a while, and finally Xiao Shanzi got on the carriage. The carriage then traveled much faster.

Gu Lili could also tell from the pace and momentum of these people's walking which ones should have a certain level of martial arts skills.

From her previous questioning with Xiao Shanzi, she had learned some basic information about martial arts, but she was still completely in the dark about how a martial artist should practice.

After nearly three hours of trekking, they finally arrived at Qiyun City.

In the grove outside the city gate, Gu Lili tore off the invisibility talisman on her body and asked Xiao Yuzhu to change her breath into Wu Zong's.

Now she and Mu Qingyan were standing not far from the city gate, looking up at the tall city walls.

Qiyun City is indeed an important border town of Dayuan State. Its city wall is more than ten feet high.

A huge black stone tablet stood on one side of the city wall, with three large white characters "Martial Soul Tablet" engraved on it. Below it were the origins of Qiyun City and the names of those who died in the several beast tide battles.

Looking up, a majestic and tragic aura hits you, making you feel that life is just like a tiny ant.

The last tide of ferocious beasts recorded on the Martial Soul Monument was 300 years ago. Qiyun City had experienced the most severe tide of ferocious beasts in history.

It was mentioned above that during the defense of Qiyun City, the bodies of ferocious beasts and sacrificed warriors were piled up more than ten feet high under the city wall.

What a brutal battle that would be?

As a cultivator who had seen all kinds of magical things in the world of cultivation and could fly into the sky and hide underground, Gu Lili naturally did not have too many feelings about the magnificent city wall in front of her, but she was filled with emotion about the standing black stone tablet.

At this moment, she was wondering, how many attacks of ferocious beasts could a city wall of this thickness withstand?

With thousands of thoughts in his mind, he sighed slightly and walked slowly towards the city gate.

There were four soldiers in distinctive armor, with the aura of warriors, guarding the city gate. All pedestrians lined up and entered in an orderly manner.

Maybe because this is a world of warriors after all, you don't need an identity token to enter the city, and there are no checks or anything like that. As long as you pay the entrance fee, you'll be allowed in.

Gu Lili had already learned from Xiao Shanzi that the city lord of Qiyun City was at the Martial King level, and there was more than one Martial King level warrior in the city.

She didn't dare to release her own aura, so she asked Xiao Yuzhu to imitate the aura of the Wuzong realm and adjust her own aura to the Wuzong realm first.

As an important border town, Qiyun City is still very lively. There are shops lining both sides of the street. The shop signs or plaques are distinguished in some ways, and each has a "Wu" circled in red on it.

The items sold in these shops should be those that can only be used by warriors who practice martial arts.

They separated those who could practice martial arts from those who couldn't, so that ordinary people didn't need to go in and waste time, and it also made it easier for martial artists to choose the items they needed.

Gu Lili called a guide at the city gate, who was now taking her and Mu Qingyan, who had completely concealed her cultivation and looked like an ordinary person, to stroll along the streets.

First, she asked the guide to take her to the bookstore and bought a topographical map of Dayuan Kingdom, as well as some basic martial arts techniques and introductions.

Mu Qingyan could no longer resist the temptation of delicious food and urged anxiously, "Xiao Li'er, I want to eat something delicious."

She hadn't eaten the delicacies from the human world for a long time.

Gu Lili had no choice but to quickly pay for the books and let the guide take them to the best restaurant in the city.

The largest restaurant in Qiyun City with the best food is called Qiyun Tower. It not only provides meals but also accommodation.

It is said that Qiyun Tower is the property of the City Lord's Mansion. It is expensive and most people cannot afford it.

However, the food tastes good, the accommodation is good and the safety is guaranteed, so it is also the first choice for many warriors who have just arrived in Qiyun City.

After all, few people dare to openly challenge the City Lord's Mansion.

When they arrived at the entrance of Qiyun Tower, Gu Lili paid the guide and sent him away, then walked in with Mu Qingyan.

The waiter at the door greeted us with a big smile.

"Senior, do you need a private room or the hall?"

"Private room."

"Okay! Come in!"

Following the waiter's recommendation, they ordered a dozen of the restaurant's signature dishes. According to Mu Qingyan's request, they also ordered a small pot of fine wine, which was said to be well-known locally.

Gu Lili would just take a bite of the food every day and then put down her chopsticks. In the absence of outsiders, she was not prepared to eat these ordinary meals without spiritual energy because they would accumulate impurities in her body.

Mu Qingyan still took care of the rest of the meal. Gu Lili couldn't understand why she was so obsessed with delicious food.

She released her spiritual consciousness to eavesdrop on the conversations of people in the restaurant.

Most people in the restaurant were discussing the increase in the number of ferocious beasts. They were talking about which village was attacked by ferocious beasts, which caravan was attacked by ferocious beasts, and some were speculating whether a wave of ferocious beasts was coming...

One piece of news caught Gu Lili's attention. It said that the eleventh prince, Zhao Xuanyi, a martial arts genius who had just been recognized by the current emperor, had disappeared on his way to the Qiyun Mountains to investigate the movements of ferocious beasts...
