Chapter 398: City of Chaos
Wasteland City
It is located at the junction of Zhanzhou in the south of the spiritual world and Luzhou in the north, between the Lechuan River in the north and the Jiuxiang Mountain in the south of Zhanzhou, with a radius of more than 100,000 miles.
Beiju Luzhou is a very chaotic place, why do you say chaos, because it is the place with the most extraterritorial clans in the spirit world, and it is called the land of chaos.
Legend has it that in ancient times, Beiju Luzhou was the main battlefield of an extraterritorial war, that time, several powerful extraterritorial places joined forces to attack the Three Realms, that is, the six domains of the firmament, once captured Beiju Luzhou, and used it as a base to further encroach on the Three Realms, for which even the law of reversing the chaos was performed, several foreign regions and Beiju Luzhou were connected in one place, and finally although it failed, it left a large number of extraterritorial alien races unable to leave, resulting in the mixing of various races in Beiju Luzhou, becoming the most chaotic place in the spiritual world, It is also the only place in the spirit world that is not ruled by the heavenly court.
For this reason, Heavenly Court has also sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times, but in the end, it was all done, and even lost troops and generals, which once made Heavenly Court very embarrassed.
Because Beiju Luzhou is a lot of foreign alien mixed population, internal contradictions are also very prominent, and it is also unable to expand externally After several conquests and wars, several of the largest forces in Beiju Luzhou also felt that this was not a solution, and sent envoys to sue for peace, expressing their willingness to surrender to Heavenly Court in name, and Heavenly Court also acquiesced to this semi-independent state of Beiju Luzhou in the last helplessness.
Default is acquiescence, both sides also have their own defense, the north of Luzhou is surrounded by the sea, but the southernmost strait is too slender, more than 30,000 miles long, the widest place is only more than 100 miles, the narrowest place is only a few miles, and on the other side of the strait, is the southern Zhanzhou.
This long and narrow strait is called the Lethe River.
On the other side of the Lechuan River, there is a plain of more than 10,000 miles, and further south, there is the huge Jiuxiang Mountain Range, and this plain between the Lechuan River and the Jiuxiang Mountain is the wasteland, which is the only window of contact between Beiju Luzhou and the rest of the spirit world.
Because Beiju Luzhou was once the main battlefield of extraterritorial wars, the environment is very different from that of the Three Realms, producing many rare resources and beasts of the Three Realms, plus countless alien races have been slowly assimilated by the laws of the Three Realms after tens of millions of years of multiplication, forming their own special culture and inheritance, these are all places that the spirit world and even the heavenly court fancy and covet, which also makes the situation in the wasteland very delicate.
It was in this context that the Wasteland City was built, this city is not large, but it is very prosperous, it is the only center that connects Beiju Luzhou and the rest of the Three Realms, it is a bridge of trade between the two sides, a place for the forces of all sides to fight for fame, and a center for foreign visitors to infiltrate and collude with each other.
This is the Wasteland City, where the Heavenly Court is at the very edge of the spiritual realm's control.
Whether it is the edge or the border, this city is completely under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, but because of its special place, this is also the only place where the Heavenly Court directly appoints the city lord and garrison, and it is also the only place where the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are directly stationed.
Tie Jun stood at the pass of Jiuxiang Mountain, looking at the wasteland city from afar, his eyes flashing with a little unease.
Behind him, stood Zhang Yan and other members of the original Yinhui team, and beside him, stood three long-lost old people, Xie Bai, Ma Zishan and Ling Qingwu.
I haven't seen each other for a few years, and these three people have all survived a heavenly tribulation, especially Xie Bai, this guy originally practiced the Cloud Body Wind Body Technique, and his foundation was injured, it stands to reason that there will never be more progress in cultivation, but to his surprise, when he saw Xie Bai again, this guy had already survived the heavenly tribulation and became an immortal.
Tie Jun retracted his gaze, looked around to the left and right, a smile floated from the corner of his lips, and said in a somewhat mocking tone: "The garrison of Wasteland City, and also thanks to the master, actually found me such a good errand?" ”
Xie Bai smiled slightly, "Although Wasteland City is a chaotic place, but for the young master, it is an excellent place to exercise, here borders the Beiju Luzhou, and there are many opportunities to contact with the clans outside the territory, the young master is a garrison, and he has three thousand heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, and there is quite a lot of room for him to exert his strength, which is a rare opportunity." ”
"Yes, none of you have my cultivation counted, I'm just an immortal of one calamity, just one calamity, and the mana doesn't even show signs of liquid, how can I suppress those three thousand arrogant soldiers? What's more, this is a place directly managed by the Heavenly Court, and my affairs will definitely be spread here by those who have a heart, and after they know about it, they will be even more unable to convince the public, how can you let me take charge of these three thousand heavenly soldiers? ”
"Take it one step at a time!" Xie Bai sighed, and said helplessly, I have to say that although Tie Jun's hand in Liangshanbo successfully got out, it had a very bad impact on him, and from now on, at least in the army system of Heavenly Court, his reputation has been bad, and a general with a bad reputation will not be able to convince the public, whether it is in Heaven or in the world, it is the same.
However, the matter has come to this, and the only thing he can do is to help Tie Jun make plans, help him build a career in the wasteland city, or hibernate for a hundred years, which is the only reason why he can have today's cultivation and appear in the spirit world.
Not only him, but also Ma Zishan and Ling Qingwu.
The second senior brother helped Tie Jun to seize this position in the Heavenly Court, the garrison of Wasteland City, the three thousand heavenly soldiers in charge of Wasteland City, he also knew that Tie Jun's key foundation was shallow, so he personally went to the lower realm, ignited Xie Bai, Ma Zishan and Ling Qingwu, and helped them directly improve their cultivation to the level of a catastrophe of immortals, and gave them a lot of benefits, which brought them to the spirit world to assist Tie Jun, and from the beginning of these three benefits, they were commensurate with Tie Jun as master and servant, so Xie Bai would call Tie Jun Young Master.
"Old pockmark, what do you think?"
Ma Zishan smiled helplessly, "You can only come step by step, this wasteland city has a reputation outside, and the interior is very chaotic, and it is not a good idea to stand up at the beginning." ”
"yes, let's take it one step at a time!" Tie Jun sighed lightly, and from Ma Zishan's tone, he also heard a kind of caution that he hadn't had before, and he also revealed a little alienation.
Tie Jun knew that this caution and estrangement was not because he was dissatisfied with himself, but entirely caused by the different identities and status of the two now.
Since the identity was exposed, Tie Jun's status in the Three Realms has risen sharply, and it is no longer comparable to a small head catcher in the world before, and the three of Mazishan are also considered to have a bit of status in the world, and they have to be ignited by the second senior brother and achieved the Immortal Dao, but compared to Tie Jun's identity, it is completely a difference between heaven and earth, and the most important thing is that now they have become Tie Jun's official subordinates, and they are no longer the same partnership as before, so there will be this unspeakable sense of alienation, and Tie Jun has no solution to this, He also knew in his heart that the relationship between everyone could no longer return to the pure like-minded relationship that it had before.
"Let's go, let's go and see how chaotic this legendary city of chaos really is!" Tie Jun's legs tightened, urging the black horse under the seat, the black horse was born from the cross between the heavenly horse and the mortal horse, and the spirit was early, after he urged, he immediately let go of the four hooves, rolled up a gust of wind and dust, and rushed towards the wasteland city in the distance first.
Wasteland City has four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, two streets that run through the four gates are a bell tower in the center of the city, the bell tower about 100 zhang high divides the two streets into four parts, which is the four main streets of the wasteland city, in addition to the main street, there are many branch roads in the city, some are distributed in parallel according to the four streets, and some are scattered from the street, these large and small streets turn the wasteland city into a labyrinth, people who are not familiar with it will get lost when they walk in, there is no plan at all, and it also reflects the chaotic theme of this city.
However, there is also order in the chaos, and the whole city is divided into four parts, south, south, and north, by two intersecting streets, also known as the east city, the west city, the south city, and the north city.
Its Middle East City is the seat of the city lord's mansion, and it is also the residence of the officials in the city who have the duties of the heavenly court, the building is the most luxurious, the number of people is small, but the area is extremely wide, and the idlers cannot enter it at all.
Xicheng is the location of the garrison and the military camp of the three thousand heavenly soldiers, with fewer people, and it is a forbidden place among forbidden places.
Nancheng is the residence of the common people, and the buildings here have their own characteristics, some are wooden buildings that pursue practicality and simplicity, some are tall buildings built entirely with huge stones, some are made of mounds of earth, some are built with unknown materials, and there are even many buildings full of foreign characteristics.
Beicheng, also known as Beiji, is the true meeting place of the two continents, as long as you can pay enough price, you can get resources, treasures, strange beasts, etc., everything can be obtained from here.
In the same way, the foreign aliens of Beiju Luzhou can also obtain the materials they want through Beiji.
Beiju Luzhou is smelted from many extraterritorial places, after millions of years of evolution, has been assimilated with the Three Realms, producing many other places without precious resources, just the large magic crystal veins there are several, but this also brings another extremely troublesome problem, Beiju Luzhou lacks conventional materials, the most important thing is food and the vitality of cultivation.
Extraterritorial alien races are also living beings, they also need to survive, and they also need time to grow, so they need a lot of materials to support their survival, and these materials can only be obtained from the northern set of the wasteland city through trading, of course, there is another way, that is, looting, the wasteland around the wasteland city is full of exotic predators from Beiju Luzhou, they rob everything, they plunder, as long as they look at it, feel that they can start, they will start to snatch, whether it is the alien race of Beiju Luzhou, The cultivators in the Three Realms are all afraid of this wasteland like a snake and scorpion.
The three thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of Wasteland City need to eliminate these exotic predators in terms of duty, but except for a few times when Wasteland City was first established, these Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are just cowering in the city, just responsible for the defense of Wasteland City, as for the wasteland outside the city, I'm sorry, once you leave the city, life and death are your own responsibility.
In the northern set, there are many shops, row upon row, people flow like a sea, traffic is busy, full of all kinds of shouting and bargaining sounds, and even mixed with many exotic foreign languages, listening to the ears just feel chaotic, inexplicable.
Yanlailou is the most famous restaurant in Beiji, the wine here is mellow, the dishes here are delicious, taking into account the tastes of all ethnic groups, the price here is the most expensive among all the restaurants, even so, Yanlailou's business is the best in Beiji from morning to night.
At this time, it was noon, people came and went in the restaurant, drinking and fighting, so lively, in a private room on the third floor, Meng Kang opened the window, looked at the people coming and going downstairs, the street market full of three thousand red dust, and drank a glass of wine.
"Youcheng, where have you been?"
"The Jiuxiang Mountain Pass that I arrived at this morning, if nothing else, will enter the city within an hour, but there are not many people he brings, only a dozen people, I heard that it seems to be an inner disciple in the Lingxu Sect, and his strength is not high, so there is no need to worry."
"Not a cause for concern?" Meng Kang sneered, "What a big breath, don't underestimate this person, you can become the only disciple who recognizes, if you don't have to worry about it, who else in the three realms can put it in your eyes?" ”
"Young City Lord, I didn't mean that!" There is a height of about a zhang, a body of mana restrained, standing there like an iron tower, Meng Kang said this, his face turned red, "I mean, such a guy, the strength is not high, and his reputation is also stinky, even if he comes to be a garrison, it is impossible to serve the public, and the Crane Wing Army will definitely be in your control." ”
Meng Kangyi glanced up at him, "Youcheng, you have to understand, in the Crane Wing Army, I am not a young city lord, just one of the three schools, when there was no garrison before, you could call it in private, but now that the new garrison is here, you should call me Lord, whether in private or in front of others, you have to call me so, understand?" ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand, Shaocheng...... Oh no, my lord! ”
"Well, by the way, what's the reaction of those two guys?"
"Liu Qingfeng didn't react, as usual, the camp was also calm, and the same was true for Fan Liangshen's side, but an hour ago, there was an abnormal movement in Fan Liangshen's camp, and a group of people left the barracks and disappeared without a trace, I suspect that that team of people and horses was sent by him to rob and kill Tiejun."
"Hmph, this Fan Liangshen, he is really stunned, he dares to do anything for the sake of a little benefit, he doesn't want to think about it, is Tiejun something he can move?"
"That's fine, let Fan Liangshen try the depth of this Tiejun first, if you're lucky, maybe it's ......!"
"Maybe what? Maybe Fan Liangshen can kill Tie Jun, and we can sit back and relax in Wasteland City? Meng Kang glared at him fiercely, "Stupid, I'll tell you, Tie Jun has nothing to do, if something really happens to him in the wasteland, the wasteland city will not exist, go, inform the brothers, get ready, and follow me out of the city to meet the new garrison." ”
"Huh?!"
"Ahh
"Yes, sir!" Youcheng didn't dare to say more, turned around and walked out of the private room.
"What a simple-minded guy, but, Fan Liangshen, are you really so bold? I'll be waiting for you, hehe!! ”
