Bai Qiushuang had heard of Wang Xiaoqiang's famous name, she never expected Wang Xiaoqiang to say such words, at this moment she solemnly greeted, "Marshal Wang, your wisdom is admirable and I am deeply grateful. Since Marshal Wang has no intention of attacking White Cloud City, I am relieved and will thank you on behalf of the city's hundred thousand citizens."

After Bai Qiushuang smartly finished speaking, she clasped her hands and turned to leave with her troops flying away, only to hear, just as she turned around, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Hold on."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiushuang's heart skipped a beat and her body shook, knowing there was no good in it, she turned around and pretended to be calm, "Does Marshal Wang have other matters to discuss?"

Wang Xiaoqiang sneered and said, "I said I wouldn't attack White Cloud City, but I didn't say you could leave..."

"What does Marshal Wang intend?" Bai Qiushuang asked with a trembling voice.

"I've come all this way, shouldn't you show some hospitality and invite me for a meal?" Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze skimmed over Bai Qiushuang's graceful figure, with a hint of lasciviousness in his eyes.

Bai Qiushuang's face turned somewhat pale, hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course, but is Marshal Wang coming alone or with the whole army? To be honest, I can't accommodate such a vast army."

After speaking, Bai Qiushuang gave a bitter smile.

"Don't worry, I'm alone." Wang Xiaoqiang said and then flew over, arriving at Bai Qiushuang's side, first smelled a faint body fragrance, then smiled and said, "Let's go, I'm just hungry and want to taste your dishes."

Wang Xiaoqiang's words clearly carried a teasing intent, Bai Qiushuang heard this and a trace of shame and anger crossed her face, but she dare not show it, lowered her head slightly, and said, "Please, Marshal Wang."

Bai Qiushuang knew Wang Xiaoqiang did not have good intentions but dare not refuse him, knowing that Wang Xiaoqiang and his army of millions were like a fierce tiger,

whereas she and White Cloud City were like lambs, if they angered this fierce tiger, the outcome would be slaughter.

Upon reaching White Cloud City, Bai Qiushuang dismissed the army and led Wang Xiaoqiang alone to the City Lord's Mansion.

Upon reaching the City Lord's Mansion, accompanied by Bai Qiushuang, they stepped in leisurely. Wang Xiaoqiang glanced around, noticing that the mansion was still the same as it was years ago, unchanged, so he strode boldly inside, and when he arrived at a garden, pointed at a flat area and asked, "Eh? Where did the pavilion disappear to, and why is the pond filled?"

Bai Qiushuang was surprised by his question and instead of answering, she asked, "Wang Dashuai, how do you know there was a pavilion and a pond here?"

Wang Xiaoqiang gave a proud smile and said, "If I hadn't left, you wouldn't be the City Lord of White Cloud City."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I was here in White Cloud City before, and I became the City Lord of White Cloud City. Later, I left due to some reasons, otherwise I'd still be the lord."

"Uh...you, you're the one who killed Xia Junjie and Xia Hou, that heroic tyrant…" Bai Qiushuang said, covering her mouth, staring at Wang Xiaoqiang in shock.

When she came to White Cloud City to take office as City Lord, she had heard about the demise of the previous City Lord Xia Family, only knowing a ruthless Immortal Dao hero had taken the position of City Lord, never expecting that hero would be Wang Xiaoqiang before her eyes.

"Did I scare you?" Wang Xiaoqiang turned around, showing a gentle smile to Bai Qiushuang.

Looking at Wang Xiaoqiang's smile, Bai Qiushuang shivered, stammering, "No, no."

"Rest assured, this was once my city, so I won't harm a city that was once mine." Wang Xiaoqiang said, putting his arm around Bai Qiushuang's slender waist, the smooth and resilient touch made his heart restless. Thus he continued, "You haven't answered my question yet, where did the pavilion and the pond go?"

Bai Qiushuang wriggled her waist to dodge, and said sternly, "Leisure and pleasure are needless, better not have them lest one's mind fall…"

"Haha, Bai Qiushuang, you're right!" Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, looking at Bai Qiushuang's embarrassed and slightly angry expression, he found her increasingly charming and said, hands behind his back, "White Cloud City under your governance is a blessing for the people."

Bai Qiushuang was surprised to hear such words from Wang Xiaoqiang again, for a moment she couldn't discern him, clearly he was a rogue, yet he spoke as if deep in reason, Bai Qiushuang couldn't figure out if Wang Xiaoqiang was pretending, cautiously she led him into the Dining Room.

Soon, the food and wine were set up, looking very sumptuous. Wang Xiaoqiang's purpose here was not just to eat, but to enjoy Bai Qiushuang's hospitality, however Bai Qiushuang was not a frivolous person, which left Wang Xiaoqiang slightly disappointed. Still, he didn't force her, instead boldly sat down, glanced at the table full of wine and dishes, and said, "Bai Qiushuang, do you always eat so lavishly?"

Bai Qiushuang replied, "I am not so extravagant, normally I only have two dishes."

"Then you are the most frugal City Lord I've met." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

Bai Qiushuang poured wine for Wang Xiaoqiang but didn't pour for herself, Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "Won't you share a drink with me?"

Bai Qiushuang replied, "Sorry, I'm not good at drinking."

Wang Xiaoqiang knew she was cautious, so he didn't insist, after drinking a cup of wine he said, "Bai Qiushuang, you're a loose cultivator, right?"

Bai Qiushuang replied, "Marshal Wang, you're asking the obvious. Here in White Cloud City, everyone is a loose cultivator, even the common people are managed by loose cultivators. You could say White Cloud City is the territory of loose cultivators."

"Since you are a loose cultivator, you should be familiar with the major forces and families in the Rogue Cultivator World, right?"

Bai Qiushuang wasn't sure what Wang Xiaoqiang was up to, so she said, "Wang Dashuai, feel free to say whatever you need."

"Okay," Wang Xiaoqiang slammed the wine cup heavily onto the table, "I want to know about the Rogue Cultivator World; you'd better give me a detailed account of its power dynamics. If there's the slightest falsehood, I won't forgive you."

Bai Qiushuang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Alright."

Next, Bai Qiushuang thoroughly described the power dynamics of the Rogue Cultivator World, the largest forces in the Rogue Cultivator World are the cities, known as the Ten Rogue Cultivator Cities. Each of these cities is controlled by a rogue cultivator family, the ten City Lords, needless to say, are all Immortal King level.

Wind Cloud City, known as the first among the ten cities, its City Lord Fengyun Tian, has already surpassed the Immortal Emperor Stage. His power in the Rogue Cultivator World is unmatched for a time, as his cultivation base soared, his influence similarly increased, and now the City Lords of the other nine major cities look up to him.

Moreover, Fengyun Tian is ambitious, he is now organizing the unification of the Rogue Cultivator World, and then invade the Yellow Dragon Empire's Wang Court, aiming to overpower the orthodox cultivators and become the Lord of the Yellow Dragon Empire.

However, this plan has stalled due to his father Fengyun Zhengxiong's illness; Fengyun Tian is a devoted son, his father Fengyun Zhengxiong caught a strange illness, for his father's illness, he is seeking famous doctors everywhere, temporarily putting his grand plans aside.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang already made his decision, and said, "You take me to Wind Cloud City."

Bai Qiushuang's face changed at his words, "Is Marshal Wang planning to attack Wind Cloud City?"

"Exactly."

"Pardon me, but with Marshal Wang's strength, it's not enough to face Fengyun Tian; Fengyun Tian is at the Immortal Emperor Realm, if he unites all rogue cultivator forces, the number could reach millions, far beyond your capability."

Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, "Why, are you worried about me?"

Bai Qiushuang blushed instantly, avoiding his gaze, and said, "Marshal Wang, don't misunderstand me, I'm merely considering it as an observer."

Wang Xiaoqiang did not hesitate, straightforwardly said, "This has nothing to do with you, once you take us to Wind Cloud City, it will be none of your business." (To be continued.
