Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 906: Chapter 703: Protection from the Shadows

The Feather Race People have always lived among the high mountains and steep cliffs, and the scene before them is completely different from the land-dwelling races.

There are no flat avenues here, no continuous architecture, only countless towering peaks rising from the ground like sharp beast teeth, as if they want to pierce the sky.

The cities stand high and staggered, built on mountain tops or mountainsides, connected by numerous plank roads and suspension bridges.

There are also many floating islands of varying sizes, quietly suspended in mid-air, forming an orderly array of aerial fortresses, supported by some powerful unknown superpower or special Crystal Stone.

Many Feathered Beasts are circling high in the air, patrolling back and forth, with sharp and loud cries echoing intermittently.

Countless sharp eyes scan the mountain paths below and every entrance, maintaining strict order, yet also bringing an invisible pressure.

Looking at the scene before her, Shen Tang couldn’t help but feel shocked, her heart surging with emotion.

This reminded her of the first time she set foot in the Yunding Empire; back then, Lu Xiao carried her all the way back, and they spent many sweet and warm times together along the way...

Thinking of this, a trace of sadness rose in Shen Tang’s heart.

Even though the two of them initially came here together, and he promised to protect her, after all this time, she still hadn’t found any news of Lu Xiao.

She even thought, could he, being a Feathered Beast, have appeared in the Sky City?

However, someone as bright and honorable as Lu Xiao probably wouldn’t come to a place like this.

Xue Yinzhou noticed she seemed to be in a daze and reminded, ”Tangtang, let’s enter the city.”

Shen Tang snapped out of it, responded, and the two walked towards the city gate.

They had already prepared their disguises; Shen Tang wore the Thousand-Faced Mask, transforming into a handsome but unremarkable young merchant.

Xue Yinzhou’s identity was more special; he was still on the Ghost Snake Clan’s high-priced wanted list, and Sky City was a recognized black-gray zone, composed of local Beastmen, wandering beasts from elsewhere, and numerous wanted criminals.

In such a place, fugitives were most numerous, and they had to be careful to conceal their identities, as exposure would be very troublesome.

Xue Yinzhou wore a loose gray cloak, with the hood covering most of his face and signature silver hair, and a white mask covering the lower half of his face, leaving only his beautiful narrow purple eyes visible.

He restrained his cold and daunting aura, becoming sparse and ordinary, following beside Shen Tang, appearing merely as a companion.

The Concealing Talisman that Shen Tang bought in Space was also pasted on both of them, retracting their aura cleanly, and they sprayed disguising scents as well.

No matter how you looked at it, the two of them seemed like ordinary Beastmen that nobody would notice if tossed onto the street.

They followed the sparse crowd, queued up in front of the gigantic stone archway at the foot of the mountain, paid a hefty passage fee, obtained a temporary passage card, and were only then allowed to enter the mountain city.

The distribution of cities in Sky City is like scattered stars, more dispersed, unlike other cities with fixed Purification Cities. Here, it spreads from the main city as the center, circles outward into other cities.

They arrived at a city called ”Wind Roar City”, located at the edge of Sky City’s ruling area, away from the main city, and from here it was the closest route to the territory of the Parasite Clan.

However, this place counts as a Purification Zone, but compared to other Purification Zones, it seems out of place.

The city is noisy and chaotic, a mix of people and creatures.

There are many diverse Beastmen on the roads, and the air seems faintly filled with smoke and the scent of strong liquor.

Besides the patrolling Feather Race soldiers, many Beastmen from various clans are gathered here, their appearances mostly fierce, and their eyes mostly unfriendly, greedily or fiercely sizing up every new face.

Once the two entered, several gazes landed on them.

Especially Shen Tang, with a slimmer figure, though she instinctively disguised as a male here, not standing out, anyone could see the subtle relationship between her and Xue Yinzhou standing together.

After all, here many females disguise themselves as males to avoid trouble.

Those unfriendly gazes landed on her, carrying scrutiny and greed.

Xue Yinzhou sidestepped to block her, coldly sweeping his gaze over those ill-intentioned Beastmen, purple eyes flashing with chilly murderous intent.

The group instantly felt their hairs stand on end, as if being stared at by a dangerous beast, and their hearts filled with fear, hurriedly shifting their gazes away.

Xue Yinzhou directly took her hand and walked towards the city center.

Here is slightly more stable than the outer area, with quite a few shops and vendors.

Although it doesn’t look as prosperous as other Beast Clan cities, upon a closer look, the items sold here are expensive, many of which cannot be bought through regular channels outside and can only be obtained from the black market.
