Just as Jieqiong was about to further deal with Lin Yan, Lin Yan and the shopkeeper also arrived in Tiandu City.

The road from Zeyan City to Tiandu City is really far enough, after more than 20 days of arduous trekking, after passing through many cities along the way, it also needs to pass through two secular countries, which can be described as thousands of miles away.

Lin Yan and the shopkeeper were wearing black cloaks, walking on the street, looking at the passers-by.

Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh, "This is Tiandu City, this scale is really big enough!"

Before he entered Tiandu City, he found tall buildings one after another from a distance, like a large continuous mountain, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance. It can be seen from this that how huge Tiandu City is, it is completely beyond his imagination.

After entering the city, he was even more shocked by the prosperity and high-rise buildings here! It was not far behind some of the big cities in the Xuanling Realm that he had seen in his previous life.

"Yanmu, don't be fooled by the superficial phenomenon, in fact, this place is very chaotic, here, only a big fist can gain a foothold, otherwise you will be in a terrible crisis at any time. The shopkeeper did not forget to remind Lin Yan.

Lin Yan and the shopkeeper had already discussed, both of them were incognito, and they called each other pseudonyms, naturally in order not to reveal their identities.

Especially Lin Yan, he may have to face the "cold-faced Dharma King" of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and Xiang Luchuan, who is also one of the four powerhouses a hundred years ago, this person is the mastermind behind the capture of his adoptive father, if he lets the other party know his identity, it will undoubtedly be a self-defeating net.

"I don't know where Lan Ruoting and Zixuan will be?" Lin Yan also noticed that the people here were all in a hurry, and they were very wary of their surroundings, and thinking of Lan Ruoting and Zixuan, he really couldn't imagine how to find them in such a place.

Then he asked, "Rubeus, have you been here before?"

The shopkeeper of Pu is pseudonymous "Yanzhong Lu", so Lin Yan called it "Lu Bo".

"I've been here once, I'm impressed!" replied in a low voice.

"If I want to find someone, where should I go?" Lin Yan felt that Tiandu City was indeed a place of right and wrong, and was a little worried about Lan Ruoting and Xiaobai. As for Zixuan, he was not worried, just the green seedlings could solve a lot of troubles.

"You want to find Miss Lan!"

"Yes, although she is a disciple of the Deserted City, don't you say that the five major sects and the Seven Worldly Kingdoms can't reach here, and her identity may not be able to help her. Lin Yan made no secret of the worry in his heart.

After all, Lan Ruoting is his ally, he cares about her safety very much, although she is very talented, also known as a spiritual cultivator, but her own strength is not very high, and she is a beautiful girl with flowers, it is impossible to be without trouble in this kind of place where outlaws gather.

"We can go to the 'black market' and have a look!"

"Black market?

"In Tiandu City, there are all kinds of trading markets, large and small, most of the stolen goods sold are murdered or stolen, among which the black market is the most prestigious, there, as long as you can pay a high price, you can get whatever you want, intelligence, treasures, everything, and even buy slaves, it can be described as a dazzling array of everything!"

"Especially all kinds of items, they are simply abundant, and they can be called Taobao paradise!" While the shopkeeper introduced, a little excitement flashed on his face, obviously he was also full of yearning for the black market.

"It seems that it is also a place to sell stolen goods, and the sellers are probably hiding their identities and true faces!" Lin Yan naturally thought of this, as for the sale of human beings, it is not strange to see this kind of thing, this kind of thing is not uncommon everywhere.

"That's right, the most people there are traitors from the major sects in the cultivation world, and these guys are all outlaws, many of them killed people from their respective sects, or stole the things of the sect, and fled to Tiandu City in desperation. Because here, none of the five major sects can act recklessly. ”

"How long has Tiandu City existed, why can't the five major sects manage it here?"

"No one knows exactly how long it was, but it must be very old, older than the Chiba Dynasty, during the reign of the Chiba Dynasty, it was unregulated, it was completely an independent kingdom, and for this reason, the Chiba Imperial Family also tried to conquer it many times, but all of them ended in failure without exception. Later, he simply gave up completely, and even regarded this place as a place of exile. ”

"If you can make the huge Chiba Imperial Family return in vain, it means that there must be a very powerful force in the Heavenly Capital City, could it be the Heavenly Mandate Sect?"

Lin Yan couldn't help but think, in addition, Zixuan's force must be very strong, and the Chiba Imperial Family may not be able to move, he even guessed that there might be some kind of close connection with the outside world here, such as the passage mentioned by the Yaosun envoy.

Then he asked, "Is there a large number of people from the outside world in Tiandu City?"

Regarding the outside world and the selection, he had communicated with the shopkeeper before, and even mentioned the Heavenly Mandate Sect.

"I don't know about that, but I don't rule it out. The shopkeeper shook his head.

"Can make the Chiba Dynasty suffer setbacks again and again, the power of Tiandu City must be very strong and mysterious, do you know anything about it?"

"This is also a secret that has plagued the entire Wasteland for a long time, not to mention that I don't know, I'm afraid that even the Chiba Imperial Family and the five major sects later don't know, but it is undeniable that Tiandu City does have a very mysterious force that is secretly controlled, and any person or force that wants to occupy this place will be mysteriously destroyed. ”

"Could this force also be the Heavenly Mandate Sect?" Lin Yan finally raised this question.

"All I can say is that it's possible, and I can't think of any force that can do it. "The shopkeeper's opinion is basically close to Lin Yan's.

"I have heard that a thousand years ago, the Chiba Imperial Clan was wiped out by a mysterious force, and it was uprooted almost overnight, could it be related to the Heavenly Mandate Sect?" Lin Yan thought about this question again.

"It's not something we can understand at this level, but apart from the Heavenly Mandate Sect, I can't think of anyone else who can destroy the Chiba Dynasty overnight. The shopkeeper asked Lin Yan again, "Haven't you talked to Qianxunyue about this issue, maybe she should know something." ”

"No!" Lin Yan shook his head, "Because this must involve deep secrets, I don't have a suitable opportunity to discuss it with her, and besides, she may not know anything." ”

"That's what I said!" The shopkeeper also understands this truth, even if the relationship is good, you can't easily ask about other people's private affairs, otherwise you may not even be able to do it as a friend, not to mention this very secret problem.

The two also chatted while walking, Lin Yan always paid attention to the surroundings, and found that most of the pedestrians here were secretive, and it was rare to see young women dressed up in flowers, only occasionally saw women in the large and small shops on both sides of the street.

In addition, most of the pedestrians on the street walk in groups of three or five, and there are also few lone people, and there are various frictions from time to time, and the fight for courage is almost commonplace.

This made him fully appreciate the chaos and violence of Tiandu City.

However, he and the shopkeeper ignored it, and they didn't encounter any trouble, and after a while, the two came to a very wide square.

"This is the center of Tiandu City, do you see the circular building over there, there is the famous black market!"

The shopkeeper pointed to a building not far from the side of the square, which was not very tall, but unusually large, covering a very wide area, and the whole was circular, like a large stadium.

The building is black all over and made of huge stones, which is very sturdy and imposing.

"It's worthy of the black market!" Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh, also alluding to its color.

"Do you know how many Xuandan Realm powerhouses are sitting here?"

"There must be no less than five people!" Lin Yan made a guess, after all, this is a place of chaos, if there is not enough security strength, I am afraid that there will be no scum left after being gnawed a long time ago.

The shopkeeper smiled, "There will be no less than ten people!"

"So many?" Lin Yan was surprised, he had been to the Yunding Sect, one of the five major sects, and after a big battle, there were at most ten Xuandan Realm powerhouses left in the Yunding Sect, but he didn't expect that the black market in Tiandu City had such terrifying strength.

"Tiandu City is really not simple, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, not to mention the terrible hidden power, just a black market has such power!"

Listening to Lin Yan's sigh, the shopkeeper said: "In fact, there are not many organizations of this scale like the black market in Tiandu City, and there are only five of them, among which Taiyue Lou, the organizer of this alchemy competition, is one of the more famous ones, the other is the Yanyu Huadu and the mercenary alliance, and the last one is a killer organization." ”

"The black market is mainly engaged in stolen goods and slave business, and it is a competitor to Taiyue Lou, but Taiyue Lou is more of a normal business!"

The so-called "normal" top grade naturally does not belong to murder and stealing, which Lin Yan understands very well without asking.

But Lin Yan didn't understand the "fireworks, rain and flowers", and it was difficult to comprehend its connotation literally for a while.

"What kind of business are fireworks and rain flowers engaged in?"

"It's a world-famous brothel there!" shopkeeper Pu suddenly smiled, "And I'm afraid you can't imagine it, it is said that there are proud daughters of heaven from the five major sects and noblewomen and princesses of the royal families of the Seven Kingdoms, as long as they can afford it, no matter how noble and stunning the beauties are, they can play." ”

"There is such a thing!" Lin Yan was really taken aback, "Did they take the initiative or were they taken captive?"

"Good question!" "The shopkeeper was also interested, "I used to think that all the concubines and princesses of the royal family must have been arrested, but in fact, this is not entirely the case, and a very few of them took the initiative to join this business." ”

"Why is this?" Lin Yan obviously couldn't figure it out, because no matter what the royal family that ruled the secular world said, they were also high up, enjoying endless glory and wealth, even if it would become a marriage tool, it was much stronger than jumping into the fire pit.

"It's for cultivation resources!" Shopkeeper Pu continued to explain, "Although the royal family of the secular world lives in extreme luxury, they are very short of high-quality cultivation resources, if they want to become a powerhouse in the Xuandan realm, they must have a large number of Yuan Stones, but the Yuan Stone Mine is firmly controlled by a few big sects in the cultivation world, and they are almost impossible to obtain, but it is different in the fireworks and rain flowers, and it is very easy to earn a large number of Yuan Stones, even if it is to sell the hue, it is very worthwhile in the eyes of some people." ”

"Besides, some women are also very good, for them, it is completely the best of both worlds, or a book of profits, and they will not suffer any losses. ”

"It's really a big forest, there are all kinds of birds!" Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course, the princesses who have this idea are a very small number after all, in fact, most of them were taken away by some bold guys and sold to the fireworks and rain flowers!"

Lin Yan felt a little weird, "Lu Bo, why does your words taste a little weird, are you alluding to something?"

Although Pei Yao didn't tell the shopkeeper about it, the identities of Liang Yuexuan and Qianxunyue couldn't be hidden, and Lin Yan felt that the shopkeeper Pu seemed to mean something.

"Yan Mu, don't think about it too much, the old man doesn't mean anything else, it's just a fact!" The shopkeeper also knew that it was easy to cause Lin Yan's misunderstanding, so he restrained his smile, "You are still young and don't know some of the situation, in fact, many men are like this, and they have an extremely strong desire to conquer women with special status, and you will naturally be able to understand when you reach a certain age." ”

"Maybe!" In fact, Lin Yan had long known that some men had this kind of quirk, and he was not interested in dwelling on this topic anymore, "Tell me about the situation of the Mercenary Alliance!"

"It sounds like mercenaries, but in fact, they are also some adventurers and bodyguards, many of whom are not less engaged in business on weekdays, as for the mercenary alliance, it is an organization that organizes these people to take tasks to make money, especially in this area, many families and business organizations are frequent visitors to the mercenary alliance, they go to the mercenary alliance to publish tasks and provide remuneration. ”

"That's so!" Lin Yan understood, after all, everything in a place like Tiandu City is only about force, and the demand for thugs and bodyguards is very large, so it can be said that any commercial behavior must have enough force as a guarantee.

He then asked, "What about the killer organization, what is its name?"

"Have you ever heard of 'black killing'?"

"No?" Lin Yan shook his head.

"This killer organization is called 'Black Killing', it is extremely terrifying, and they dare to take any assassination mission, as long as they can afford the price, in the wasteland, there is no one they dare not kill. And this 'black killing' is also one of the strongest killer organizations in Wasteland, and there is no one. ”

"How strong are they?" Lin Yan was really surprised.

"There was once an emperor of a secular country who was assassinated by a black assassination, and just over twenty years ago, it seems to be Dongchang Kingdom......!

As the shopkeeper was talking, Lin Yan suddenly interrupted him, "Wait! You always say that it is Dongchangguo, can you be sure?"

Lin Yan remembered clearly that Pei Yao was the princess of Dongchang Kingdom, and her father died when she was very young.

"You seem to be very concerned about this!" Shopkeeper Pu could hear this from Lin Yan's tone.

"I was surprised, and there were other things involved. Lin Yan didn't mention Pei Yao.

The shopkeeper didn't ask much, but nodded, "It's certain that after all, the sudden death of the emperor of a country had a lot of impact at the time, and it was also rumored, and in the end, the real culprit was not found, so I had to give it up." ”

"That's the case......" Lin Yan was secretly thinking: Pei Yao should know by now that this must be a conspiracy against his father, so he secretly cultivated forces and wanted to deal with the current emperor of Dongchang Kingdom.

It is obvious that the purpose of this palace struggle is nothing more than the throne, and there is no need for evidence at all.

The shopkeeper continued: "Assassinating an emperor in the secular realm is actually just a piece of cake for black killing, after all, those emperors are basically weak, and they don't have much strength, they have done even more amazing feats, that is, they have successfully assassinated the sect masters of the five major sects, as for the strong people in the Xuandan realm, there are countless of them......"

Listening to his tone, it was obvious that he was quite disdainful of the emperor of the secular world......
