An ancient capital city stands in the middle of the desert, and the quaint gate alone is more than ten zhang wide.

At this time, a group of men in black armor were standing by the city gate with spears in their hands, their eyes scanning the passers-by like knives. Leaning on the bronze portal behind them, they looked like they were arrogant, and from time to time they could be seen questioning the passing vendors, and even cultivators.

Even cultivators of the Enlightenment Realm did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of this gate.

Even if they could kill those Mortal Realm guards with a flip of their hands, they wouldn't dare to do so. Because that is undoubtedly the same thing as looking for death.

Because the city behind this quaint bronze gate is the top region in the northern region of the Qingwu Dynasty.

Because this city is called ...... Wudu!

In addition to the royal capital, the Qingwu Dynasty was divided into four regions, and the northern region was completely different from the other three regions.

Perhaps it is because under the influence of the natural desert here, the people in the Northern Regions revered the principle of the law of the jungle.

The other three domains are almost composed of several cities and counties and countless cultivation sects, and their cities and counties are interdependent, and there is no so-called subordinate relationship. The Northern Regions is completely different, where a city and county are the base and countless villages are attached to each other.

The Northern Regions are too wild, almost always made up of unknown dense forests and most of the desert.

Ordinary people can't survive outside alone, so they are attached to a city, and the original name of that city was called Wudu City. Later, people gradually forgot the word for the city at the back, and instead called this place Wudu.

And Qingwu Lanxia, who was in the royal capital of the Qingwu Dynasty, did not get angry after learning about this, but recognized the name of Wudu in an edict.

Because of this, the reputation of the military capital in the northern region has become even greater, and the forces within the military capital are led by three major forces, which are the Li family, the Xia family, and the Huo family. Among the three major families, the Huo family is the weakest, but there are also several powerhouses in the Spirit Realm, while the other Xia family and the Li family have more powerhouses in the Spirit Realm.

No one could know how many Spirit Realm powerhouses there were within the three major families, but that number must be more than a single digit.

On the other hand, in the Eastern Regions, there is a distribution of power between one sect and two factions, and there are only two or three powerhouses in the Spirit Realm among the Zhuori faction, which is also the reason why Xiao Xuan killed the deacon elders of the Zhuori faction but was not retaliated against, because at that time, even if the Xiao family and their Zhuori faction poured out, they might not be able to provoke it!

Obviously, the sect master of the Zhuori Sect was not a stupid person, and he did not intend to use the survival of the sect to fight against the Xiao family.

And among the other county cities similar to Hidden Dragon City, the city lord is just an existence that has just entered the spirit realm, so if you want to compare the top forces in the Eastern Regions, the number of strong people may not be as deep as a family in the martial capital of the Northern Regions.

Some people say that the overall strength of the Northern Regions is stronger than that of the Eastern Regions, and some people scoff at it. After all, the two regions have never competed, so who knows which region is stronger?

That's just speculation, after all.

But there is one thing that is recognized by the people within the dynasty, the overall strength of the Northern Regions is definitely not the weakest among the four domains of the Qingwu Dynasty.

The forces in the Northern Regions are led by Wudu, and the guards who stick to the gate of Wudu are naturally from the three major families in Wudu.

In the twelve months of each year, the Li family is responsible for guarding five of them, the Xia family is four months, and the last three months are in charge of the Huo family, which undoubtedly represents the ranking of the three major forces in the Wudu. Although the Huo family only had three months in control, it was also one of the top forces in the martial capital.

After all, the emaciated camel is still bigger than the horse, and although the Huo family ranks last among the three major forces in Wudu, it is not an existence that people from other forces can bully.

And now the person in charge of guarding the city gate is the people of the Xia family, one of the three major forces in Wudu.

At this time, a cultivator was about to enter the city, but was stopped by a guard. The man was immediately displeased.

"What do you see? Do you think that if you are a cultivator of the Enlightenment Realm, you don't have to follow the rules here? If the cultivator wants to enter the city, he should offer a spirit crystal, otherwise he will be invited back. ”

A guard said unruly, even if the other party is a cultivator of the Enlightenment Realm? Doesn't it depend on his face? Although his cultivation is not as high as the other party, he is in charge of guarding the gate of the Wudu City at the moment. Unless that person has the guts to fight against the three major forces in the Wudu? But is it possible?

"You!"

The Enlightenment Realm cultivator was furious, the muscles on his arms were tense, and his palms were tightly curled. He really wanted to slap the mortal ant in front of him with one palm, but in the end he still didn't do it.

"Do you want to go into the city? Could it be that you don't have spirit crystals?"

The guard sneered, mocking a Spirit Realm powerhouse who would never dare to do such a thing at this time. However, since he was now guarding the city gate on behalf of the three major families, he naturally would no longer look at a cultivator of the Enlightenment Realm.

To move oneself is to anger the three major families, how many of the three major families have internalized the spirit realm powerhouses, but a spirit realm cultivator dares to do something to himself? The guard couldn't help but sneer.

In the end, the Enlightenment Realm cultivator still chose to compromise, only to see him take out an inch of diamond-shaped crystal from his bosom and hand it over, and the guard took it before nodding and removing the spear that was blocking the way.

This Enlightenment Realm cultivator stepped into the martial capital, but the murmur of the guard came from his ears.

"What kind of Enlightenment Realm powerhouse, cowardly one! Don't you have to look at my eyes to do things? haha. ”

"Be quiet, beware of him being heard!" There was humanity beside the guard.

"What if you hear it, he still dares to make a move on me? You are too careful, brother. ”

This Enlightenment Realm cultivator glared angrily, gritted his teeth, and muttered, "If there is a chance for a dog to fight a human power, Lao Tzu will definitely kill you with his own hands!"

Then he shook his head, and the man went into the city.

There is still a lot of noise in front of the city gate, from time to time someone enters the city but is stopped by the guard, if it is an ordinary merchant pedestrian, he must use silver taels, if it is a cultivator, he must use a spirit crystal, he doesn't care what kind of person the other party is, if it is a cultivator who can't take out a spirit crystal?

I'm sorry.

The martial arts will not be open to you, because this is the territory of the strong.

As the top city in the northern region of the Qingwu Dynasty, although the local population of Wudu is only tens of millions, the number of people who have been transferred here is in the hundreds of millions! Therefore, even the other two guarding the gate of Wudu will also ask for such benefits, but there are also some differences between the attitudes of the three major families.

Among them, the people of the Huo family always have a smiling appearance, so that those who come remember the kindness of the Huo family. The Li family, on the other hand, disdains to care, and the attitude of the people stationed there is the calmest among the three major families. If it weren't for the prestige and fame, the Li family would not have sent people to garrison here, and the Huo family's thoughts would be easier to understand, their attitude was good, naturally there would be people willing to come to Wudu when the Huo family was guarding the city gate, and it would naturally be the Huo family that would make a profit for a long time.

In this way, the most arrogant and domineering is the Xia family!

They disdained the behavior of the Huo family, and they didn't want to be ridiculed by the people of the Li family, but they couldn't learn the calmness of the Li family, so they gradually became more arrogant and arrogant, and more domineering.

This is also an order issued by the high-level of the Xia family, otherwise how could a small guard dare to be so domineering?

What the Xia family wants is for the people who come to Wudu to be in awe, and what they want is for them to be afraid.

The awe of the Xia family is engraved into the bones, in order to announce the prestige of the Xia family!

I have to say that this kind of behavior is also very effective, and people who don't know the details of the three major families are generally afraid of the people of the Naxia family in the martial capital. When he saw the people of the Xia family, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he hid.

However, most guards have a limit to this.

After all, they didn't dare to go too far, in case they really angered others, and others secretly wanted to attack them, the Xia family would not care about the life or death of a character like themselves. There are very few people who use chicken feathers as arrows in this way, and this guard is obviously one of them.

People come and go, and time fades away.

The guard's eyes suddenly lit up as he impatiently urged the passers-by, and four figures walked slowly outside the city.

It was a man and three women.

Naturally, the guard didn't care about the man, although the man was also very handsome, but did it have anything to do with him?

One might not say that it was three women, for one of them looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and although her breasts were plump, they could not hide the innocence of her moving face. Such an innocent and innocent appearance is not something that can be pretended to be.

Qingguo is beautiful but not attractive, and the other two women are different, they easily attract the attention of others.

A masked woman in red walked to the man's left.

The eyes that the red veil could not hide were as beautiful as obsidian, the long hair was draped down with a golden hairpin, and there was a red rune at the center of her eyebrows, which added a touch of charm to it, and because she was dressed in red, such a hazy beauty and temptation made many people think about it at the moment.

And the face of another woman in a dark robe was undoubtedly revealed.

Her beauty was the most beautiful woman the guard had ever seen in his life.

He didn't know how to describe the beauty, but in an instant his heart was captured by her.

That graceful and seductive figure, three thousand green silk smoothly down, her eyebrows are like willow leaves, there seems to be a river of spring water in a pair of eyes, and the long eyelashes cannot completely cover such a clear pupil, her nose is small and cute, and her lips are not covered by gouache, and the natural thin red of her lips makes people grit their teeth and swallow. At this moment, her cheeks were a little blushing, a few strands of green silk were rippling in the wind, and the white neck that was not covered by the clothes under the perfect pretty face was so slender.

Seeing this, the guard swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, how could there be such a stunner in this world?

He even felt that he would feel distressed if he took the woman into his arms a little harder.

The grip of such a slender waist made him want to rush forward and hug her into his arms to love her in every way, and he couldn't help but lose his mind when he looked at it.

It wasn't until the four of them got closer and closer that he felt that three of the four of them couldn't see through.

What does this mean?

Except for the young girl, the other three were all powerhouses with a cultivation level of Enlightenment Realm or above!

The appearance and talent actually have the body of the woman in the dark clothes at the same time?

He couldn't help but lose his mind again, and the guard next to him quickly patted his arm when he saw this. He came to his senses and hurriedly stretched out his spear to block his way.

The woman in the dark clothes and the girl looked calm when they saw this, but the woman in red and the man frowned when they saw this.

"Hello, cultivators above the Enlightenment Realm need to hand over their spirit crystals when they enter the martial arts. ”

"One person needs one. This is...... The rules of Wudu!"

The guard gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm, but his eyes were staring at the woman in black clothes motionless.

"Spirit crystals?"
