Chapter 356: Qingliu Forest
The life of the eight people in Liucheng is very leisurely, and of course it is also very regular, in addition to cultivation, Alina and the others go shopping, gambling stones or auction houses. The gambling stone shops of various families all know the power of Alina and the others, but because Alina and the eight are the chosen ones and have a strong backstage, they can't do anything. The eight of Alina have lived in Liucheng for three years, and all of the eight Alina have reached the strength of the high-level middle grade except for Du Juan, who has reached the middle grade.
In the third year, Alina and the others left Liucheng, and the eight of them went to the green willow forest in the west. Qingliulin is on the west side of Liucheng, and it entered the range of Qingliulin in less than two hours after leaving the city gate. Everyone in Qingliulin has heard of it for a long time, but because of the lack of strength, everyone has never been to Qingliulin. Now it's different, Du Juan has also reached the last lowest level of Qingliulin. The time when everyone left happened to be the day when everyone entered Liucheng three years ago, and the major families in Liucheng cheered at this time. The eight of Alina were already famous in Liucheng, not only because of the matter of gambling on the stone workshop, but also because of the young disciples of the major families when the eight of Alina were in Liucheng, they did not dare to do evil. In the first year, one of the family disciples was seen playing hooligans by Alina, and as a result, the young man was nailed to the wall of the city wall by Alina, and the man's body still hangs on the wall.
Everyone went to Qingliulin and still drove the carriage, of course, the butcher drove the Kadar and the goose egg to sit next to him, and the five women sat in the carriage. There are many people who go to Qingliulin, most of them are mercenaries living at the bottom of the secular area, they all walk back and forth, and most of them carry goods on their backs or carry goods. Of course, it was not only the mercenaries who went to the Aoyagi Forest, but also many evil people. They specialize in killing mercenaries or caravans, and they are called marauders. Marauders are a profession in this world, they loot, intercept and are rarely exterminated, and when they do, they quickly resurge. It was once said that the marauders were raised by major families, but that man quickly disappeared. This made everyone understand the truth of the matter, yes, the marauders were raised by major families. In fact, not only the major families, but even the major royal families also support marauders, and they also issue privateer licenses.
Marauders often move between cities and forests, large and small, and most of them burn, kill and loot all kinds of evil, so they are the most wanted targets in major cities and families. The distance between Liucheng and Qingliulin is relatively short, so most of them are active in Qingliulin, and most of them are in the outer areas, so many mercenaries only operate in groups in the edge of Qingliulin.

The carriage soon came to the entrance of the green willow forest, and the butcher drove to a halt.
"What's wrong?" asked Alina.
"Which direction shall we go, Miss?" asked the butcher.
"Miss" is the title that the butcher and Du Juan changed the year before, and they call Kadar and Goose Egg "young masters".
"All the way west, directly through the forest to East Willow City. Alina replied.
"All right!" said the butcher.
There is no road in the green willow forest, but it is formed when there are more people coming and going. There are a lot of mercenaries in the fringe areas, so every place is a road, and the outlying areas are similar, but not as obvious as the fringe areas. The situation in the central and core areas is different from that of the periphery and periphery, and there is no fixed route between the two areas, and there are very few people passing through them. There are many middle-level fierce beasts inhabited in the edge area, a small number of high-level fierce beasts inhabited on the periphery, and there are half-saint-level fierce beasts inhabited in basically every place in the central area, and the core area is the killing ground of the saint-level fierce beasts. Legend has it that the core area has the secret of sanctification, so many demi-saints rush to the core area like moths to a fire. Alina and the others had also heard an interesting legend about Aoyagi Forest.
Legend has it that in the core area of the Aoyagi Forest lived a Great Sacred Order, and no one had ever seen him, but he had been around since 10,000 years ago. This Great Sage Rank is a human being, but it was raised by the fierce beasts of the core area. He had a lot of affection for the fierce beasts in the core area of the Qingliu Forest, so when he became the Great Saint Rank, the core area of the Green Willow Forest became the forbidden place of the Saint Rank in the secular area. It is rumored that his realm far exceeds the peak of the ordinary Great Saint Rank, and even reached the same half-emperor realm as the ancestor of the Xie family. There is a rumor in Dongliu City, which says that the ancestor of the Xie family was able to become a half-emperor because he obtained a treasure in the core area of Qingliu Forest. However, it was not a great joy for the ancestor of the Xie family to become a half-emperor, because he was injured, and even if he became a half-emperor, he could only breathe a sigh of relief.
There is a basis for the ancestor of the Xie family to get the strange treasure, it was more than 10,000 years ago. It is rumored that at that time, there was a strange light in the core area of Qingliulin, and then many holy steps and great holy steps flocked to the core area. At that time, that person led the Saint-level fierce beasts in the core area to block and snipe the major masters, so a three-day holy war took place. The Great War directly led to the fall of many Holy Ranks and Great Saint Ranks on both sides, and many Great Families declined after that. It is rumored that tens of thousands of masters of the human race participated in that battle, but only a handful of them returned, and the ancestor of the Xie family was one of them.
The Great War 10,000 years ago was a defeat for both the secular area and the core area of the Qingliu Forest, and this secular area was also reduced to the weakest trial area because of that war. There was a time when someone thought that someone would take the opportunity to attack the secular quarters, but that didn't happen. However, many people also understand that other secular districts will definitely cultivate power here. The forces of other secular districts must have influenced this place, but these have little to do with Alina and the others. Alina and the others have always believed in their own principles, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, then they will never be tolerated, even if they can't beat them, they will pay the price.
The carriage passed quickly through the edge of the green willow forest, and although it encountered many mercenaries, no one stopped the carriage. The three high-level powerhouses of the butcher, Kadar, and goose egg also made the mercenaries afraid, and they did not dare to intercept them. What's more, the secret portrait of the Eight Alina has spread throughout Liucheng, and everyone avoids it with what the Eight Alina have done in Liucheng and their strength background. The same peripheral marauders didn't stop Alina and the others, and the major families were not stupid, they must have informed their team of marauders. Even if some of them were not marauders of various races, those who did not have bandits would not dare to touch Alina and the others. Dare to move Alina and the others can only be fierce beasts, and after about half an hour of entering the outer area, Alina encountered a group of hyenas. It's a typical pack of fierce beasts, and they're as tough as carnivorous ants.
