Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Secret Realm of the Southern Barbarians

The Nanban Secret Realm is located in the southernmost part of the empire, but it is not actually the territory of the empire.

To be precise, the Nanban Secret Realm is protected by the Empire, but there are countless tribes in the entire Nanban Secret Realm, large and small. It can be said that all are independent countries.

The Nanban Secret Realm is also known as the worst place in the entire continent. Completely different from the Wolf Pupil Desert of the Wanzang Tribe and the extremely cold plains of the Tieli Kingdom, the Nanban Secret Realm is not a place where life is cut off, on the contrary, it is inhabited by countless ancient creatures of all kinds, as well as a large number of ancient civilizations.

The badness of the Nanban Secret Realm lies in the poison.

The deadliest creatures are never the wolves, tigers and leopards that roam the 100,000 barbarian mountains, but the snakes, ants, and poisonous insects that may be dormant in the leaves and grass. Although the locals have survived for a long time and can detoxify some of these poisons, there are also many that they have never seen before.

People are dying every day in the Nanban Secret Realm.

And the Nanban Secret Realm is also a natural cage in the eyes of the Empire. The Nanban Secret Realm has a lot of uninhabited forests, and it takes a lot of manpower for the empire to mine these forests to build some military structures.

So those prisoners, as long as they were not sentenced to death, most of them were sent to Southern Xinjiang and came to the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm.

And among the people who die every day in the Nanban Secret Realm, the number of prisoners in this group accounts for a considerable part.

Therefore, it has also become a holy place for many people who study medicine, firstly because there are extremely many poisonous insects and medicinal materials here, and secondly, because there are extremely many injured and sick people here.

The Nanban Secret Realm is mysterious, and the empire is also afraid of this mystery. But in the same way, the empire also coveted the benefits that the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm could bring.

A few years ago, a genius boy named Akasi appeared in the Nanban Secret Realm. He is the prince of the Xiangyue tribe in the secret realm of the Southern Barbarians, and when Akasi was born, a blood-red moon appeared strangely in the sky. Because of this, Akasi was hailed as a godsend by the high priest of the Xiangyue tribe.

Not long after he was born, Akasi's hair color changed to silvery-white for unknown reasons. And the talent he showed shocked the entire continent. In just three years, Akasi entered the first page of the martial arts directory as a child.

However, this silver-haired boy has a soft spot for light martial arts and assassination techniques, and considers them the most artistic and practical martial arts of all martial arts.

In a few years, the name of Akasi will resound throughout the Nanban Secret Realm. It is the power of a terrifying assassin. The Xiangyue tribe has finally changed from a small tribe to the largest tribe in the 100,000 mountains of Nanban.

At the same time, what attracted the attention of the empire was not only the Elephant Moon tribe, which was gradually expanding in influence and power, but also Akasi himself. So the empire believes that the time has finally come to control the secret realm of the Southern Barbarians.

The Empire cooperates with Akasi, as well as with the Elephant Moon Tribe. As a result, the Xiangyue tribe was officially renamed the Silver Moon Country.

Countless tribes in the 100,000 mountains of the Southern Barbarians also submitted to the Silver Moon Kingdom.

……

When Li Nianyun decided to go south in Chenhui, he left with two of his subordinates. Chen Hui didn't keep it, thinking about it, a big boss of the nine major factions has a lot of things to deal with.

Chen Hui had a feeling that Li Nianyun and himself would definitely meet again.

On the way south of the inn, Chen Hui had been asking the scholar about some things about the Nanban Secret Realm.

The scholar was also very patient, although he had to mock the shopkeeper's ignorance every time.

Later, Chen Hui found that when the scholar mentioned the Nanban Secret Realm, he mentioned the person named Akasi in great detail. I can't help but be a little puzzled.

The scholar explained:

"Haven't you always wanted to find a runner who is the best in the world? can tell you very clearly that in terms of assassination and light skills, Akasi is the real number one in the world. The politics of the Silver Moon Kingdom were very simple, they did not have any diplomacy except for the alliance with the behemoth located in the north, that is, the Qin State. Because any tribe that dared to hinder the unification of the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm by the Silver Moon Country, their leader was dead. So the horror of Akash has to understand where it comes from. ”

"I'm worried that if you're going to recruit Runtang, you're going to have a hot brain to recruit Akath. Akasi is not easy to mess with, and the people in the rivers and lakes would rather face a top existence like Ning Wuxie's sword ghost than provoke the elusive Akasi. ”

Chen Hui nodded and said:

"Sir, don't worry. I'm not in a hurry, I came out this time to find my doctor. However, is there really no one in the world who is faster than Akas? ”

The scholar shook his head and said:

"In the past few years, there has been a thief in the rivers and lakes, this person is extremely fast, but the reputation is worse than that of Akasi. Although Akasi is a killer, because of his silver hair and woman-like face, many aristocratic women admire Akasi. But although many people think that this thief seems to be comparable to Akasi in terms of speed, the nobles of the imperial court hate him very much. The reason goes without saying. Chicken and dog thieves, are you willing to use it too? ”

Chen Hui was silent for a long time and said, "Look at fate." ”

……

After a few more days, the inn had passed Nansha City, the southernmost city of the empire.

The inn is parked in the dense forest outside Nansha City, and Chen Hui, the cook and the scholar go to the vegetable market in Nansha City to buy some ingredients.

While passing by a restaurant, Chen Hui saw something interesting on a sign.

The three of them wore hats, covering their faces, and stood in a horizontal row in front of the sign.

A sign with a wanted notice for the shopkeeper and the cook.

scholar says:

"Look, I said you would be rewarded, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly, even the southernmost city of the empire was posted."

Ding Qiliang naturally knew that in today's era when the empire and the rivers and lakes are incompatible, the bounty also represents a person's strength.

He was puzzled:

"Why is Lao Tzu's head worth 8,000 taels of gold, but the head of the shopkeeper is worth 18,000 taels of gold?"

He was not convinced.

Chen Hui is not convinced:

"Sir, I don't think my bounty should be lower than Li Nianyun."

The scholar scoffed:

"What is Li Nianyun's identity, and what is your identity. Moreover, you may be on par with Li Nianyun in the realm, but Li Nianyun is almost an invincible existence in the same realm. ”

Chen Hui was curious: "Why?" ”

scholar says:

"Li Nianyun's legendary color may not be as exaggerated as Akasi, but he is also a rare genius in the rivers and lakes for a hundred years, and he broke through the Ninefold Liuyun Jue at a young age. This person is real, as long as he doesn't die, he can fight again. One moment he may be seriously injured, and the next moment you will see him reappear. ”

"Isn't that amazing, interesting." Chen Hui suddenly regretted that he didn't agree to fight with Li Nianyun.

"None of the heads of the nine major factions is simple, and some people even feel that Li Nianyun's bounty of 60,000 is considered low. Even if it can't reach the 100,000 bounty like Ning Wuxie, it is at least 890,000. Or maybe it's because Li Nianyun is a person who never does evil. ”

Chen Hui smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that he is gone, otherwise I will definitely be happy to hear that Mr. you have such a high opinion of him." ”

The scholar lowered the brim of his hat and said:

"Let's go, go back to the inn after buying food, since the empire has posted the notice to the south, it is very likely that the people who are chasing you will also go to the south."

Chen Hui was surprised: "I thought this bounty was just a formality. ”

The scholar was already immune to Chenhui's ignorance.

"Bounty is a means of the empire, money can make ghosts grind, the empire hopes to let the martial arts people in the rivers and lakes kill each other for money, for those who have a bounty of more than 10,000 taels, such as sword ghosts, such as Li Nianyun, Ning Wuxie This kind of top existence, such as the masters of the nine major factions, some famous heroes in the rivers and lakes, the imperial court will not hunt down these people, after all, the price is quite expensive. The imperial court may not be able to find someone who can catch these masters to serve their lives. ”

Chen Hui said, "Then isn't I more than 10,000 taels?" ”

The scholar said: "The first time you were rewarded, it was directly 18,000 taels, and you are a very special existence." Although you have exceeded, the cook has not, and the cook should have died, isn't it, but he is still alive, and he is very high-profile to let the whole world know that he fought with the knife ghost. ”

The cook was puzzled: "So what? ”

The scholar said with disdain: "If you don't even know who the person you offended is, then you may not live long." ”

The words were suddenly a little heavy, but the cook understood.

He offended the most powerful person in the current dynasty or the whole continent, and this person was not the current emperor, but the prime minister of the current dynasty.

"Damn, I knew I should have killed him that day! This dog officer! Ding Qiliang said angrily.

"Oh? I have to tell you that there are no less than six master bodyguards in the Nine Leaves Realm around the prime minister, and these people are all masters who became famous many years ago in the rivers and lakes but suddenly disappeared. If you want to kill him, practice your Nine Bull No Remorse and Ox Knife Technique. ”

Chen Hui could hear some clues, and the scholar seemed to have some kind of relationship with the prime minister. It seems that the prime minister has a different opinion.

But Chen Hui didn't ask in the end. The three of them went to buy food in a very low-key manner. Then he left very low-key.

After leaving the city, all the way to the south, the three of Chenhui, scholars, and cooks did not speak.

When he was about to arrive at the inn, the scholar sighed, Ding Qiliang clenched his fists, and Chen Hui also put away his usual smile.

A man dressed in a fast-catcher costume stopped in front of them.

This person has a long scar on his left eye, and his face is not angry and arrogant, and his fast hunting suit is also different from ordinary fast hunting, embroidering a silver dragon on the right side of the clothes. The most noticeable thing is not his face, but his hands, even if he does nothing, one can feel that those hands seem to have a terrible power.

Chen Hui didn't know this person, but looking at his outfit, he knew that there might be a fight. And it must be a tragic fight, because this person's strength is terrible

The scholar was calm and greeted the man:

"Shouldn't we be honored to be here with the Empire's No. 1 Catcher?"
