Ye Han sat on Cang Yan's back and took out a somewhat yellowed piece of parchment from the storage bag, which was something he had taken out of the mouth of the old general Chen Ban yesterday, and it was a map depicting the north of the Divine Imperial County.

Although it is known as the forbidden land for living beings, after all, the Demon Pass has stood on this extremely cold frozen land for thousands of years, and although I can't say everything about the situation there, I still have some understanding of it.

What Chen Ban gave is said to be three hundred years ago, when many warriors of the Demon Pass went deep into the northern frozen soil to strangle the demonic beasts, the map drawn was extremely simple, but it marked a lot of things from it.

For example, the mountain that is not clear in the words of the people, but is highlighted in the map.

This mountain is deep into the Northern Demon Domain, although it is still a short distance from the terrifying cold abyss, but there is no doubt that it is in the Demon Land to the north of the Demon Pass.

However, this mountain was one of the few places that had not been infected by the demonic qi of the cold abyss among the few words of the warriors who had gone deep into the north at the beginning.

Because as Ye Han once guessed, this mountain is flying above the sea of clouds.

Floating Mountain, Burial Emperor Ridge!

The Demon Pass, although it is called a level, is not as much a small city.

In terms of its size, this small city cannot be compared with the county town that covers an area of thousands of miles at every turn. Even if it is the size of the city, it must be above it, but no one can compare this city with other cities.

Compared with other cities of the dynasty, the biggest difference between this city and other cities of the dynasty is that there are no old and weak women and children in it, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, all of whom are in the prime of life, and they are martial artists with cultivation!

On weekdays, they may be the same as ordinary people, but once a monster strikes, they can all be stubborn and jump into battle.

It's a battle city through and through!

Liao Beihua is a general, with the cultivation of the realm of a great martial artist, and commands an army in this Demon Pass.

Although he has a strength similar to Lin Zhan, he does not have the status of Lin Zhan in the imperial capital. The reason is very simple, the place where he is located is the Imperial Demon Pass, which is a Xiongguan that hides hundreds of thousands of soldiers and is born for war.

Here, although the realm of the Great Martial Master is not low, it is by no means rare. Therefore, although he has the identity of a war general here, he is doing the things of other city generals and deputy generals.

For example, now, he is patrolling the city walls with his ironclad army.

The security of the city walls, no matter which county town it is, is at most done by the county guards. Even if it is not good, there are adjutant generals in the first army, and which general will really come here in person and patrol the city with armor?

It's just that in the Demon Pass, it has been like this since ancient times, and there is not only one general who patrols the city, and the commanders of each army must lead their troops to patrol in person.

Liao Beihua held the blade on his waist with one hand, and a cold light appeared in his eyes, looking under the city wall. There, in addition to the soldiers defending the city in battle armor, more people covered their bodies in linen, shackled their hands and feet, and continued to work.

That's the reason why they need to be on guard at all times, among the hundreds of thousands of warriors in the Demon Pass, in addition to the army, there are also a large number of prisoners of the dynasty, and they are all outlaws who are extremely vicious and difficult to control.

In the dynasty, only those who have committed heinous crimes will be assigned here, and compared to other places, those who are assigned to the Demon Pass basically mean that they will definitely die.

Most of the warriors who were exiled to the Demon Pass would stay in it forever, working in the city on weekdays, and if there was a monster riot, they would also go out of the city to fight.

Or use it as cannon fodder, bury bones in the demon soil, or escape by luck, return to the city again, and wait for the next battle. And so on and so forth, and so on, never ends.

They naturally understand this, so some of them, since they entered this Xiongguan, are already dead, but there are still some people, they are not willing to bury their bones here, so they are always looking for an opportunity to escape.

Most of the people who can be sent here are heinous people, and for those outlaws who lick the blood from the knife, killing people is not enough, and there is no fear at all.

If the commanders of the army were not on guard at all times, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable if those prisoners revolted. Even if they have a few restrictions, they are still not to be underestimated.

After all, they are capable of committing heinous crimes, and who is a mediocre person?

The prisoners with iron chains under the city wall, either pushing earth and stones, or carrying wood, kept walking under the city wall, sweating like rain, but no one stopped, and the whips in the hands of the guards did not show any mercy.

The walls of the Demon Pass may not be the highest, but they are definitely the strongest, because the prisoners in prison are the best laborers.

Liao Beihua looked at the busy figures under the city wall, the vigilance in his eyes relaxed slightly, and his right hand pressed on the long sword slowly relaxed.

The general's gaze moved from the city to the distance, and everything was hazy. The air in Zhenhan Continent has always been dirty, which is a manifestation of the infusion of demonic energy, and under that layer of gray haze, the distance seen is only a hazy blur.

Under this kind of vision, it is not easy to defend the city, but he is not worried about this. Since the Imperial Demon Pass dares to be at the northernmost point of the dynasty, it naturally still has a little dependence.

Not to mention anything else, just the dozens of secret sentinels hidden outside the gate, and the endless traps, can be said to completely eliminate the possibility of being touched by monsters silently under the city wall.

Unless someone could kill a dozen or so generals guarding the various hidden outposts at the same time, it would be impossible to break the net that had shrouded the Demon Pass for hundreds of years.

"What a quiet year. ”

This General Liao looked into the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

Is it really peaceful? In this Demon Gate, people die almost every day. The demonic qi here is already quite strong, and although a formation has been set up in the city, it is impossible to completely block the erosion of that demonic qi.

Especially those prisoners who stayed outside the city for a long time, most of their cultivation had been imprisoned, and under the erosion of this demonic qi, the damage they suffered could naturally be imagined.

It's just that in Liao Beihua's eyes, these are already very rare calm.

In the decades that he has been holding on to the Demon Pass, there have been more than a dozen monster riots, large and small, and he is now the only one left of the eight generals who came with him back then.

Although hundreds of thousands of troops are all cultivated, most of them only know some superficial qi training techniques, if such an army is stationed in other places to guard the city, it may be called impregnable, but it is nothing in this demon pass.

Once faced with a monster riot, the loss of sergeants can be in the tens of thousands.

So for a veteran like him, there was no monster riot, and there was no prisoner rebellion, which was already quite a rare peace, but he didn't know how long this kind of calm would last.
