learned from the mouth of the female knight that Liu Shengxing and the others had joined forces in Ghost City, and now they were with Pang Jiaoli.

They set off at the same time as Wang Pengyu, but Wang Pengyu had to wait for Bastark, so he had to slow down, and he made a detour and delayed for a while in Shayun Mountain, but arrived at Guiyu City later than Liu Shengxing and them.

Under the guidance of the female knight, Wang Pengyu and the two soon flew into the huge city-state sheltered by the incomparably busty city wall.

Unlike Liujiabao and other city-states, the city of Guiyu is extremely huge, in addition to the central main city, there are four other acropolis, including the main city, the scale of each acropolis is not smaller than the main city of Liujiabao, but in addition to the leadership of the sub-city lord in charge of the acropolis, they are all inferior subjects who live, responsible for cultivating the fields in the city, supporting the upper subjects and nobles of the main city, and bearing the taxes of the empire and so on.

If you want to become a high-ranking person in the main city, there are three main ways, first, to intermarry with a high-ranking nobleman, the second is to establish meritorious service, and the third is to increase the level of Douqi mana, become a great sword master or archmage, or even a ninth-level powerhouse.

In terms of difficulty, it is more difficult to build a meritorious service than to become a high-level warrior or mage. Although the city-states were constantly fighting each other, if their own strength was not strong, it was basically impossible to establish enough advanced high-level human feats, and it was even more difficult than hard cultivation to become a high-level warrior.

The first kind of marriage with the nobility seems simple, but in fact it is the most unlikely, the Shenjiao Empire is highly hierarchical, and the pressure on interracial marriage is by no means imaginable to ordinary people, just like the racial divide in Earth India, and it is much more severe.

Pang Jiaoli is a typical example of the first type of advancement to the upper class, but he did not live in the main city. Rather, it was responsible for the defense of the Eastern Celestial City, one of the four acropolises. The status is only under the invincible division of the Eastern Heavenly City sub-city master.

There are four acropolis in the city of ghosts. According to the direction, the southeast, northwest, heaven and earth Xuanhuang are called, respectively, the four cities of East Heaven, South Earth, West Xuan and North Huang, of which the north is respected, and the North Yellow City is Yu Ye's grandson Yu Neng is in charge.

Although Liu Shengxing wanted Pang Jiaoli to lead them to meet Yu Ye, he learned from Pang Jiaoli that Yu Ye was in retreat and did not meet outsiders, so he had to stay in Dongtian City temporarily. Wait for Wang Pengyu to come.

Others see Wang Pengyu clearly, it doesn't mean that Yu Ye is like this. On the contrary, he knew Wang Pengyu's interests better than anyone else, and found a few ninth-level powerhouses such as Pang Jiaoli, and repeatedly asked Wang Pengyu about the details of the battle between Wang Pengyu and the Thorn Tree God more than a dozen times, but unfortunately, no matter how he checked it, he couldn't understand how Wang Pengyu could miraculously kill the tenth-level tree god in the end.

As a tenth-level true god, his status can be equal to that of the royal family, and he is not as revered by the royal family as ordinary people, and what attracts them is basically only a more powerful force. Longer lifespan, even higher realm.

promised to compete with Wang Pengyu. It was because he couldn't understand how Wang Pengyu could kill a tenth-level true god with his ninth-level strength. Judging from Xiao Qian's concept, this is absolutely impossible, if he clarifies this, maybe his stagnant cultivation will be able to go further.

In fact, the people in the remote places were not only unwilling to obey the orders of the empire, but also extremely resentful of the empire, from the aristocratic leadership to the ordinary and inferior subjects.

The empire expelled it from this bitter cold land, but it had to collect a large amount of taxes every year to feed the moths in the rich heart of the empire, the six city-states and the Black Rock Plain, after a war, there was a shortage of food, in fact, it was because of this, but the empire was powerful and had to be convinced.

If Wang Pengyu can really bring enough food and strong force to the Black Stone Plain, Yu Ye will not resist serving Wang Pengyu, however, the precondition is that Wang Pengyu can really defeat him, the survival rules of the small world are like this, the weak eat the strong, without strong enough force, it is impossible to make others return to their hearts, and the master of every city-state is basically a number of forces in the city-state.

Liu Shengxing is now taking over the position of head of the Liu Jiabao family. If he hadn't been promoted to a ninth-level powerhouse, no matter how strong his strategy was and how good his relationship with Wang Pengyu was, he would only be able to become the strategist of the city-state, not the master of the city-state, and let his brother return to his heart.

Wang Pengyu arrived in Dongtian City, met with Liu Shengxing, Lei Qianyu and others, and received the invincible hospitality of Pang Jiaoli and the city lord, but until the last moment before the competition, Wang Pengyu failed to meet Yu Ye, the owner of Ghost City.

Pang Jiaoli and Sikong are invincible, although they really want to get strong crossbows and other materials on credit from Wang Pengyu, but at this time they tacitly did not mention this, they all know that it is too early to say this, everything will have to wait for the results of the competition between Wang Pengyu and Yu Ye to be final.

Those who agreed to submit the Blackstone Plain to Wang Pengyu's command were basically the leaders who sincerely thought about the people of the city-state, or the people who were extremely ambitious and intended to make contributions to revive the family, and they wanted to get food and weapons from Wang Pengyu to ensure that the subjects would not starve to death due to famine.

Those who disagree are relatively strong and have the opportunity to return to the heart of the empire, and they naturally don't want to change, but they also want Wang Pengyu to provide weapons and food.

After the battle, if Wang Pengyu wins and the Blackstone Plain is subjugated, food and weapons will naturally be at your fingertips without spending a lot of money and silver, if Wang Pengyu is defeated, it is difficult to say whether the steel weapons will continue to be sold to the Blackstone Plain, and it makes no sense to say this before the competition.

The six city-states want to compete as soon as possible, and Clark's army is approaching, but on the side of the Blackstone Plain, it is also necessary to notify the leaders of the other big city-states to come over, and then make a blood contract with Wang Pengyu.

Even if Yu Ye had an extremely high reputation in the Black Rock Plain, one person could not represent the power of a city-state with a population of tens of millions.

Knowing that Wang Pengyu arrived in Dongtian City, many nobles wanted to come to visit Wang Pengyu, and some people invited Wang Pengyu to their residence to participate in the banquet and reception. has a good relationship with Wang Pengyu, no matter what the result of the competition is, it is good.

Yu Ye naturally won't take advantage of Wang Pengyu, although he didn't see Wang Pengyu, but he had already sent a message to Pang Jiaoli and Sikong Invincible, so as not to let others interfere with Wang Pengyu's retreat, these few days, let Wang Pengyu recuperate and have a fair competition with him in the best state.

For five days, Wang Pengyu and the others lived in Dongtian City for five days, and the lords of the city-states in various parts of the Black Stone Plain had already arrived in Guiyu City one after another.

There are many city-states in the Blackstone Plain, but there are only thirteen of the most powerful city-states that can represent the Blackstone Plain, and when these thirteen people arrived in Guiyu City, Yu Ye finally sent someone to inform Wang Pengyu and invite Wang Pengyu to meet in the main city of Guiyu City!
