It was already dawn. Li Dao's eyebrows were covered in a layer of frost.

The temperature difference in the desert was very large, the temperature at night was very low, and the temperature during the day was very high.

Li Dao sat cross-legged for the entire night. The moisture in the air was sucked over along with the spiritual energy, forming a layer of frost on his forehead.

Shaking his brows, he opened his eyes and asked with a smile, "Did Miss Shangguan have a nightmare last night?"

Shangguan Yan's expression was ice-cold as she raised her sword and left. There were some things that she did not want to mention, much less those who were unrelated to her.

After waking up from their stupor, the two of them continued to follow Shangguan Yan.

After walking for four hours, a city appeared before the three of them. On the wall above the city gates were three large words: Four Directions City.

As he approached the city gate, Li Dao furrowed his brows.

There was almost no spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the city, and it was full of resentment. As a Xiantian realm martial artist, Li Dao was extremely sensitive to the heavens and earth.

Although he could not see with the naked eye, he could feel that the air above the four cities was filled with all kinds of emotions, such as grief, anger, sadness, and injury.

Generally speaking, the battlefield was filled with resentment and maliciousness, but this was clearly a city, so how could something like this happen?

For the time being, he could not understand why Li Dao would not think about it anymore. After all, he was not a saint, nor was he so great as to be like the common people of the world.

Shangguan Yan and Little Dou Zhu easily entered the city, but when they reached the city gates, they were stopped by the city guards.

"Stop, you're not allowed to enter the city!"

A soldier with a saber hanging from his waist stopped Li Dao, and the rest of the soldiers had unfriendly looks in their eyes.

"Why don't you let me enter the city?" Li Dao asked gently while holding the sword.

The surrounding commoners looked at Li Dao in surprise. There was no other reason. Li Dao's current appearance was truly unsuitable to appear in public.

He wore a tattered white robe, and his body was covered with bloody scabs. He looked even more miserable than a beggar.

"Entering the city like this will affect the looks of our four cities. If the city lord were to know that not only is your head unable to keep it, we brothers would also lose our heads as well. Do you think that I wouldn't let you enter the city?" The soldier looked Li Dao up and down and spoke with conviction.

Li Dao laughed. This soldier was actually quite interesting, even explaining things to him so clearly.

"I never thought that the Four Corners City would have so many rules. That means, the City Lord must be a good City Lord who loves his people and works hard. May I ask what is the mayor's name? " Li Dao looked at him and asked.

"How dare you insult the mayor? "Brothers, arrest him!" The soldier was enraged and shouted loudly.

The surrounding people all shook their heads. They were well aware of the morals of these soldiers. However, this beggar was too blind. He deserved his bad luck.

Li Dao was still smiling. His face was covered in blood which made his smile look very strange, but he did smile.

His slender hand rested on his longsword. If a soldier dared to treat him like this, then he couldn't be blamed.

Just as he was about to draw her sword and kill someone, Shangguan Yan turned around and stood between him and the soldier. She whispered to him, "Don't cause trouble, Ouyang Feiying is not easy to deal with."

"Sir, my brother ran into a horse bandit a few days ago and thus fell into this state." Don't lower yourself to his level. Take the silver to treat our brothers to tea. After entering the city, I will take him to bathe and change his clothes.

When the soldier saw Shangguan Yan's face, he grinned foolishly as he received the silver, almost drooling on the spot.

"Fine, I won't argue with you about it on account of this lady. Go in." The soldier weighed the silver in his hand, and his gaze reluctantly rested on Shangguan Yan.

Li Dao smiled and followed Shangguan Yan into the city.

After entering the city, the streets were filled with hawkers, but their voices were stiff and their expressions numb. It could be seen that their lives here were not that good.

After Shangguan Yan found an inn, the three of them stepped into it.

After asking for two taels of silver from Shangguan Yan, Li Dao instructed the waiter to go and fetch some water. He also asked him to go out and buy a set of white robes.

Under the weird eyes of Shangguan Yan and Little Dou Zhu, Li Dao stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.

The moment the door closed, Li Dao's voice could be heard, "Don't peep!"

Shangguan Yan and Dou Zhu looked at each other in dismay. So he had such a shameless side to him.
