Compared with the other three realms, the western realm of the Xingzhu Empire itself is sparsely populated by the large desert wasteland in the western realm, and there are few big cities, compared to the rich south and east, wars are frequent, and the northern part of the empire resources are relatively sloping, and the western part is the poorest place.

Of course, there is another important reason for the relative backwardness here, the western realm has been under the control of the Qin family in Tianzhu City for a long time.

The Qin clan is a very glorious surname because they are the descendants of the First Sage.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the First Sage forged the system of professional practice, and under his leadership, mankind was gradually freed from the fate of food, and magicians built cities on the land, with tall, wide walls to isolate wilderness and danger.

As humanity gradually gains dominance, like-minded people work together to form teams, forces, and even ...... Country!

Ten years after the construction of the first city, the founding emperor of the Xingzhu Empire and the First Sage jointly established the Xingzhu Empire.

It was an era of openness, and powerful professionals sat in the city, sheltering an entire city, they were the original [guardians], and they were also the predecessors of the current nobility of the Xingzhu Empire.

Ironically, in the beginning, Guardians were an honorable but heavy duty, they fought with the lives of a city on their backs, and once they were slain by the monsters of the wilderness, the unprotected city was the equivalent of a slaughterhouse......

But the current aristocracy, who rarely remembers the glory of the past, is addicted to the game of thrones and is busy intriguing all day long.

The Qin clan was the original guardian of Tianzhu City, which was the capital of the Xingzhu Empire at that time, and the entire empire revolved around Tianzhu City, where the professionals gathered as an army to fight against this wild world.

But the First Sage was not a power-hungry person, he gave up the throne of the Xingzhu Empire to the more commanding and charismatic founding emperor, but his status was transcendent, and his descendants also had a decisive "authority" in the Xingzhu Empire, which laid the groundwork for the later tragedy.

The biggest shortcoming of human beings is their short lifespan, and after a few generations, the relationship between the descendants of the First Sage, the Qin family, and the Xingzhu royal family has gradually changed from almost equivalent to "conjoined babies" to "enemies".

In the final analysis, it is also about the struggle for power, not every generation of Qin clan patriarchs is as unambitious as the First Sage, and not every Xingzhu Empire is as enlightened as the emperor, so enlightened that he allows a force like the Qin clan to greatly threaten his position to develop.

Around power, the Xingzhu royal family and the Qin clan launched a nearly hundred years of open and secret struggle, and finally ended in the defeat of the Qin clan.

However, in the end, the Qin clan is the descendant of the first sage, and the contribution of the first sage to all mankind is unparalleled, so the Xingzhu royal family did not rush to exterminate, but the Xingzhu Empire "moved the capital" and established Xingzhu City as the new capital in the far north.

The center of power also shifted to the new capital, and Tianzhu City gradually declined, but the Qin clan still firmly grasped a large territory to the west.

The next few hundred years can be regarded as peaceful, but the Qin clan has gradually declined, and for some reason, one generation is not as good as the next.

Then the Xingzhu Empire built the Xingzhu Avenue, the empire was divided into four realms, east, west, north and south, and the Governor's Mansion in the west was also set up in Tianzhu City, so the Qin clan changed its opponent, the Governor's Mansion in the West.

Of course, when fighting with the Qin clan for control of the Western Realm, the Western Governor's Mansion also had little energy to develop the magic guidance technology of the Western Realm, which directly led to the fact that the Western Territory was now completely lagging behind the other three realms.

Let's talk about the Qin clan again, the Qin clan is declining day by day, whether it is in the process of independence of the federation fifty years ago, the Qin clan lost most of the western territory, and in the disaster of the subsequent Sky Rebellion, it lost a large number of top professionals, and finally, a few years ago, the dark palace suddenly killed the Qin clan, and the Qin family was almost wiped out.

At this point, the Qin family, which has been beautiful for nearly a thousand years, has come to an end.

Tianzhu City, the ruins of the Qin clan.

Even if several years have passed, this place is still just a ruin, and the whole country was shocked when the Qin clan's annihilation tragedy just happened, and then the Xingzhu royal family faced all the people and said that they must wipe out the dark palace that committed this kind of atrocity.

After that, there was a long investigation process, and the most troublesome thing about the Dark Palace was its mystery, no one knew where the headquarters of the Dark Palace was, and even the branches were rarely found.

In order to warn others and only put pressure on himself, the King of the Western Realm said that the ruins of the Qin family would remain for a while, and in the future, all the executioners of the Dark Palace would be tied up here to raise the spirits of the deceased in the sky.

Of course, the people in the dark palace have not been caught so far, and they have only caught some low-level characters who are not important......

"By the way, this is our destination?" Mo Xiaoye frowned, and lowered his head to fiddle with the magic guide communication device.

"Hmm. Su Qiran's voice came from the device.

"I don't think there's any clue here. Mo Xiaoye looked distrustful, "Time has passed for so long, even if there are clues, they have been eliminated by time, not to mention that the people in the Western Governor's Mansion don't know how many times they have investigated here, and it's not that there are almost no clues." ”

"Also, why are you taking on such a rare task? Where are we going to catch the middle and high-level members of the dark palace who participated in the Qin family's extermination case back then?" He Yue couldn't help but complain.

Since the Western Governor's Mansion promised Haikou, it still hoped to be able to fulfill its promise, so it also issued a commission to the mercenary organization, but for a period of time, no one dared to take this task at all.

On the one hand, the task is indeed extremely difficult, and on the other hand, no mercenary is stupid enough to fight against those madmen in the dark palace for money......

So this task has been hanging for a few years, and the mercenaries I saw had almost no topic about this mission except for occasionally ridiculing and satirizing the Western Governor's Mansion and boasting about Haikou.

"I don't know about this, come on!" Su Qiran said with a sly smile. He himself also instructed Su Xiaoxiao in Nine Seal City.

"Your uncle's. Mo Xiaoye cursed in a low voice, and then turned off the communication device.

"Mo Xiaoye, what should we do next?" He Yue had a bitter face, it was okay to charge into battle when she rode a thousand, but it was too difficult for her to deduce something.

"Let's go check it out first. Mo Xiaoye said helplessly, "Maybe you can try to [summon spirits] here, and if you are lucky, you may be able to summon the unjust souls of the year." ”

"Let's go in first, then. ”

There was a fence set up by the Western Governor's Mansion around the ruins of the Qin Clan, and there were even some guards, but these were not difficult for Mo Xiaoye, and with their nimble bodies, they directly climbed into the wall that was not too high.

The dilapidated palaces, the serious scorch marks are everywhere, the delicate sculptures of the past are now ruined, the pond is stagnant, and the smell of erosion and stench is disgusting
