Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs-Chapter 22 Wary Mayor
High up in the sky among the passing clouds, a huge white bird with wings spanning over 10 meters could be seen flying at an incredible speed impossible to follow by even soldier level cultivators, too bad its current rider thought otherwise.
Seth could be seen sitting in a cross-leg position on the beast with a qi stone in hand as qi slowly left it and moved into his body, he had started cultivating sometime after the bird took flight and looking at the fruits of his labor, well let's just say that he really needed enlightenment.
"Just where the hell am I," Seth said as he stopped his cultivation, kept back the qi stone, and got up from his comfy seat of feathers, it had been over 9 hours since he began his journey out of the forest, no this stupid jungle and so far he hadn't gotten anywhere close to leaving it.
Green trees stretched for miles all around him no matter which direction he looked, moving forward, Seth walked till he was standing on Slowly's head.
The bird's speed had left Seth feeling unhappy so he had decided to name it Slowly, and now slowly seemed to be slowing down.
Slowly had been flying at max speed all this while and Seth understood that it was bound to tire quickly but this didn't stop him from getting annoyed with his mind filled with thoughts of what a bird like Slowly will taste like if stewed.
A large cry from Slowly snapped him out of his thoughts and he looked at Slowly, Slowly was joyfully screaming in a particular direction, so using his soul sense, Seth checked out that direction.
At first, he could sense nothing, but Slowly kept on screaming in that direction as it gave its best to fly faster, this action made Seth decide to trust that the bird knew what it was doing, so he continued checking out the direction, and after more than 20 minutes, Seth's soul sense began picking up on signs of human life and then buildings. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The thought that he had finally found some civilization put a smile on his face but he was still surprised as the strength of Slowly's eyesight, his soul sense could stretch over 2km yet it had taken him up to 20 minutes to sense what slowly had been comfortably seeing.
"Guess I won't make stew out of you, "Seth said to it, Slowly couldn't understand human language, but after hearing Seth's words, it couldn't help but feel like it had just dodged a bullet, so it happily screamed out in reply to his words.
With a light stomp to its back, his hands raised and placed behind his head, Seth said, "Alright take us there".
Ukota was a government-built town backed by a nearby grade A city, it was located on the edge of the Lukta forest and was built to cull the growth of beasts in the forest as well as harvest valuable resources in the forest.
Lukta forest was known to contain lots of powerful beasts, naturally produced treasures, and small deposits of qi stones and this served as a major attraction to cultivators.
Ukota functioned as a major supply point for almost all cultivators who went into the forest to hunt down the beasts, weapons, pills and even cultivators for hire could be found here.
It also served as a resting point due to its distance from the forest as there were lots of available hotels for rent and even brothels for relaxation.
The most powerful of beasts stayed deep within Lukta forest, while rank 1 to rank 2 beasts could be found in its outer parts, and this made Ukota's position at the edge of the forest a beast-free zone, coupled with the thick walls that surrounded the city, it was a well-defended town but what really made it a safe place for trade and habilitation, was the 3rd stage general who resided there.
It was afternoon in Ukota, everything was going as it always did when all of a sudden, a dreadful powerful qi was felt by everyone in the town, the weaker cultivators only felt a sense of dread and doom descend upon them while the stronger cultivators felt the same thing but were able to sense the source of this powerful qi as they simultaneously looked up at the sky with dread.
Powerful beasts were only interested in consuming other powerful beasts or powerful cultivators, so cultivators above the 1st general level were banned from entering the town so as not to draw the attention of these powerful beasts.
Stopping cultivators above the 1st stage general level from entering into Ukota was quite easy with a presence of a resident 3rd stage general level cultivator, and if that wasn't enough to dissuade some hooligans, the thought of provoking the grade A city behind it was enough to keep them in line.
As profitable as beasts might seem, they were nothing compared to monsters so most cultivators immediately dropped the idea of hunting beasts when they became general level cultivators and immediately began entering dungeons.
All this served to make even the presence of 1st stage general level cultivators in Ukota a rarity, which gave birth to a peace filled town as no powerful beast was ever interested in attacking the town.
But today that peace of theirs had been broken as the knowledgeable cultivators who were able to estimate the cultivation level of this dreadful qi all began running away, yet before they could take more than 3 steps, a huge tremble was felt throughout the town followed by a loud screech.
Everyone looked in the direction of this screech and saw a huge white bird in the distance, the size of the beast sent some people stumbling backward in fear with most of those closer to the beast fainting when residues of its powerful qi washed over them, yet almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw where the beast hand landed.
High up in the air, Seth observed the town without anyone being the wiser, and when he was done, he had Slowly descend on the location where he had felt the strongest qi.
Seth had expected a gradual descent but to his surprise, Slowly had shot down and within seconds, she domineeringly landed with a loud screech, large crate spread all around destroying some small buildings in the large compound they had landed in, seconds later, some cultivators began approaching but with a scream from Slowly, they were all sent flying away with some of them exploding in showers of blood.
"And here I thought you were a docile beast," Seth said to Slowly with a chuckle as stood atop its head with his hand crossed.
Deciding to wait for the surrounding dust and debris caused by Slowly's landing to settle, he felt a powerful qi approach, and then a strong gust of wind blew past him taking away the dust with it.
With a clean atmosphere, some of the surviving cultivators and the newly arriving ones looked at the intruding beast wanting to get a look at their opponent but what they saw threw everyone off guard and even had some cleaning their eyes in disbelief.
They saw a beast alright, a big powerful beast with thunderous qi flowing through it just begging to be unleashed, but everything went wrong when they noticed the man standing atop its head.
A totally naked man stood atop the head of this powerful beast and arrogantly stared at them with his hands crossed, the cultivators had no idea what action to take faced with such a strange situation and so could only look at the leader.
Mayor Rincol was a 70-year-old man who had dreamt of climbing up the ladders of power and well he would like to think he had at least climbed up some stairs now that he was the mayor of Ukota town.
Rincol had barely been able to cross into the general level after years of cultivation, and knowing that he had no more future in his path of cultivation, he was satisfied that he had got to be the mayor of such a relatively important town.
Today had been like any other day with him having plans of leaving the office and seeing if he could get his hands on some interesting damsels when he felt a powerful qi descend upon the town.
Without much thought, Rincol's first action was to immediately begin heading for the bunker in the building all the while thanking god that he was in his office at this time and not out of the street, he had just left his office and began heading downstairs when he felt a powerful force slam him to the ground and then his phone began ringing.
He knew the source of this force, it belonged to Ukota's resident 3rd stage general, but why was this general level cultivator bothering with him at the moment when he should be combating the attacking beast, "am I being called to join the battle" he thought as he nervously reached into his pocket for his phone and answered the call.
"Immediately receive our guest, do anything otherwise and I would make you regret it" was all the voice said, and then hung up.
Rincol couldn't believe what he just heard and it took some time for him to process the voice's words before he dragged himself up and began heading for this so-called guests location, he didn't dare to disobey this particular person's words even if his courage was tripled.
