Chapter 44: The Great Wilderness City

Dongxu is vast, spanning hundreds of millions of miles, even if the strength of the strong people has to fly, I am afraid it will take decades to fly across the entire Dongxu, as for ordinary warriors, without the help of external forces, it is difficult to get out of Dongxu for a lifetime.

In addition to the warriors themselves, the most common thing across the region is the transmission of the spirit array and the transportation of birds-like spirit beasts. The latter is easy to say, as a bird spirit beast, they are born with a speed that is incomparable to ordinary people, a three-grade bird spirit beast is more than three times faster than the same level of martial arts, as long as they are tamed, they can be used as a substitute, extremely fast.

As for the transmission of the spirit array, it is to use the power of the spirit array to distort the space, compress the distance, and then quickly reach the location where it wants to go. Spirit circle transmission is the most common way to cross regions, which can greatly shorten the distance between regions. However, the transmission of the spirit array is difficult for ordinary martial artists to accept, because each spatial transmission consumes a large amount of spirit crystals to provide the power to compress the space for the spirit array, so most of the transmission spirit arrays are in the hands of some big families.

In addition, there is another important reason, after the great war 10,000 years ago, it was rumored that a terrible curse appeared in the spirit rune line, and since then, this line has rapidly declined. In the era when there was no spirit rune master to succeed, the transmission spirit array naturally became a consumable, and it was monopolized by the major families, and some spirit rune masters were found to maintain the operation of the transmission spirit array to prevent accidents. Therefore, it has undoubtedly become more difficult for ordinary martial artists to use the Spirit Array to teleport across the region.

Dongxu is vast, in fact, it is also divided into five major regions like the mainland, defined by east, west, north and south, and the place where Jiang Xiaoqi has lived since he was a child is in the south-east position, belonging to the southeast county, and the location is relatively remote, whether it is the prevalence of martial arts or the development of the region, it is relatively backward.

Southeast County belongs to the east and has several important cities, whether it is a warrior or material resources, Southeast County has an extremely important strategic position. Among them, the city where the Lu family is located is located in the great wilderness city in the south of Southeast County.

The overall strength of the Great Wilderness City is weak among the several cities in the Southeast County, but for the Southeast County, which is backward in martial arts and resources, the Great Wilderness City still has an extremely important position, and it is the only important city within a radius of several hundred miles, and it is also the place where the warriors gather the most.

The reason why this city is called the Great Wilderness City is mainly because the city is desolate dozens of miles away, and there is hardly any grass or trees to be seen. Caravans passing through here must be prepared with plenty of food and water, or they may lose their way and die of thirst in the desolate desert.

However, strange people, in this great wilderness city, there are incomparably dense flowers and trees, birds, beasts, fish and insects. This situation was not introduced after the construction of the city, but before the construction of the city, there was a dense vegetation growing in the area. Therefore, the Great Wilderness City is more like a city built on an oasis, favored by the heavens.

The Great Wilderness City is more than ten miles in circumference, the magnificent scale is enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people to live here, the passing caravans can bring rich products, and the martial artists can exchange for the things they want here.

The overall outline of the Great Wilderness City is distributed in a horizontal and vertical cross structure, with neatly interspersed houses staggered, and a main road in the center of the city crosses the entire Great Wilderness City, which is also the most noisy place in the city.

And there is also a clear division of power in this city, and at the top, and the most transcendent is naturally the controller of this city, the city lord of the Great Wilderness City. However, few people know the identity of the city lord, and naturally, few people have seen this mysterious city lord. But everyone who lives here knows that only that person is the real master here, and no one can take his place.

In addition to the city lord, there are three powerful forces in the Great Wilderness City, dividing the interests of this city, one of which is the Lu family who has a grudge with Jiang Xiaoqi, and Lu Yu, who was killed by Jiang Xiaoqi, his father Lu Ming, is the helmsman of this generation of the Lu family.

As for the other two major forces, they are the Liu family and Zhao Ji Qianzhuang. Among them, the Lu family monopolized more than half of the cold weapons trade in the Great Wilderness City, supplying them to the warrior monks who came and went. The Liu family is in charge of all kinds of elixir business, as for Zhao Ji Qianzhuang, it can be seen from the name that he is responsible for the livelihood of money, and he is a well-deserved rich man in the Great Wilderness City.

"The Great Wilderness City, such a desolate name. ”

Outside the Great Wilderness City, a man and a donkey looked at the burly city in front of them, and their eyes fell on the dark plaque on the city gate, and they said to themselves.

The walls of the Great Wilderness City spread for more than ten miles, enveloping the entire city, the walls are nearly ten meters high, the whole body is dark, and it is said to be made of a valuable obsidian, which can block the wind and sand raging outside the city, and is also used to resist the conquest of outsiders.

The whole Great Wilderness City is arranged in a square, staggered, this is under the jurisdiction of the Southeast County, the order of the whole city is relatively loose, the city lord Shenlong sees the head but does not see the end, and here is the place where many warriors gather, it stands to reason that the battle is naturally indispensable.

However, many warriors living in the Great Wilderness City rarely have endless fights, and no one dares to deliberately provoke here, because the mysterious city lord once clearly stipulated a constraint that it is strictly forbidden to fight in the Great Wilderness City.

There was once an outsider, ignoring the constraints set by the city lord, deliberately provocative, openly abused, and found people to fight for no reason. Just when someone couldn't help but want to make a move, suddenly, that person was on the noisy streets of the Great Wilderness City, and under the witness of many warriors, a strange flame came out of himself, drowning the person, and soon after he was burned into a pinch of ashes, no one made a move, and no one saw what happened, and the person lost his life in public.

However, many discerning people can see that a martial artist with good strength can disappear in front of the public for no reason and turn into ashes, and there is no second person to be found except for the unfathomable city lord. Since then, the constraint set by the city lord has almost become an iron law here.

At the wide gate outside the Great Wilderness City, a man with a bearded face was followed by a black and white donkey, looking at the pedestrians around him like a thief. At this time, Jiang Xiaoqi changed his previous outfit, his handsome face was smeared with a lot of ashes, and his chin was covered with a face of scum, looking sloppy.

He was wearing a broken robe that he had gotten out of nowhere, his yellowish color had been torn for many years, and there were two big holes in his waist.

He wore a hat on his head that matched his robes, full of holes, and a few weeds on it. At his feet, he wore a pair of open-toed cloth shoes, and the white cloth was stained with a lot of mud. On the right side of the hand is a signboard with a banner hanging on it, on which are written four big characters, "Hexagram counts good fortune and evil". The whole outfit looks like a living liar.

"Brother Donkey, you get smaller, it's too ostentatious to go in like this. ”

Glancing at his current outfit, Jiang Xiaoqi nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the old donkey beside him, shook his head slightly after looking at it, and said with a smack of his lips.

"Impossible, the old man's wise and martial appearance is naturally eye-catching, how can it be said to be a swagger?"

Hearing Jiang Xiaoqi's whispering beside him, the old donkey's old face darkened, and he glanced at him with a pair of big eyes, grinning and arguing.

In this world, the strong have always been respected, and fists are the last word. And some powerful warriors usually recruit a few thugs by their side, whether it is a human race or a spirit animal, they all respect themselves. However, in addition to the so-called thugs, there are many people who like to keep some spirit animals in captivity, most of which are horses and cattle, which are suitable for transportation.

Of course, there are also some strong people who like powerful spirit beasts, and will choose some spirit beasts such as tigers and lions with strong bloodlines as their mounts. And the old donkey naturally knew that in its opinion, Jiang Xiaoqi suggested that he was treating himself as that guy's mount, and where could he tolerate such a posture.

Knowing that he couldn't resist the old donkey, Jiang Xiaoqi was no longer obsessed, straightened his waist, held the fortune-telling signboard in his hand, and swaggered towards the city. The reason why he is dressed like this is naturally because he doesn't want to be recognized, since the Lu family can know his name and even estimate his location, they can naturally recognize him.

But right now, what worries Jiang Xiaoqi the most is whether the people of the Lu family can monitor his movements at any time. It stands to reason that the Shuli Holy Land is far away in the Middle Domain, and the transmission of news should not be too convenient. What's more, such a behemoth in the Shuli Holy Land would really make a big move for a Wang Zhong?

So Jiang Xiaoqi is gambling now, betting on the killing intent of the Shuli Holy Land against him, if they try their best to wipe themselves out, then this great wilderness city will be the place where he will die. On the contrary, if the people of the Lu family lost their position, it meant that the Shuli Holy Land had been temporarily abandoned, or the news had not reached the Lu family so quickly.

In addition to gambling on Shu Li's attitude towards him, the reason why Jiang Xiaoqi stepped into this Great Wilderness City was mainly because of the city lord's iron-like constraints, even if the Lu family found him, they didn't dare to take him seriously in the Great Wilderness City.

As for the last reason, there was a spatial formation in this Great Wilderness City that could transmit distances, and he wanted to use this to go to the central region where the Four Holy Lands were located. After all, when he stepped into the Four Manchu Realm, the follow-up exercises would become a major obstacle to his cultivation.

And Old Man Shi once said that if you want to find the next volume of the "Nameless Sutra", you can go to the holy place in the middle of the country, where he may be able to get the answer he wants.

The Great Wilderness City Lu family

As one of the three major families in the Great Wilderness City, the Lu family has a pivotal position here, covering the interior of the city, as well as the supply of weapons to past merchants, allowing them to have enough heritage in the city where they have lived for nearly a hundred years.

The Lu family is located in the eastern part of the Great Wilderness City, and the courtyard is extremely splendid, with nearly fifty large and small courtyards combined, among which the direct family members of the Lu family live in it, as well as some foreign family members who have enough weight in the family. Many courtyards are staggered and neatly arranged, and between the courtyards, there is a building that is particularly eye-catching, and from a distance, you can clearly see a giant sword standing in the courtyard.

This courtyard in the center is the residence of the core figures of the Lu family, and they are all the immediate family members of the Lu family. The huge sword shadow standing in the courtyard represents their family's top martial arts, and it also reveals their status as the main player in this great desolate city, the main supplier of weapons.

Under the shadow of the huge sword is an empty square, which is a place used by many children of the Lu family to practice martial arts, and it is also a place for military inspection used to test weapons in peacetime.

"The third child's soul stone is broken, I'm afraid it's more than lucky. ”

"Boom"

In a magnificent hall behind the square, there was a sudden rumbling sound, and when I looked at it, the stone table placed in the hall was smashed with one palm, and the fragments of the teacup mixed with the tea were scattered all over the ground, splashing everywhere.

At this time, there were two figures standing in the hall, the one who lived in the first seat was dressed in a green robe, with a square face, and his appearance was about forty years old, judging from the shadow between his eyebrows, he was at least seven points similar to Lu Yu. That's right, this person is Lu Yu's father, and he is also the family of the Lu family's generation, Lu Ming. At this moment, his eyebrows were tight, looking at the broken jade in his hand, his face was a little gloomy.

On the right hand side of the green-robed man, there stood a middle-aged man in a red robe, who was wide and fat, a little short compared to the head of the family, Lu Ming, but his body was very strong. A thick beard on his face, extending from his chin to his temples, his eyes were round, he glared angrily, his eyes were spreading with anger, staring at the broken jade in Lu Ming's hand, full of murderous intent.

This person is the cousin of the head of the family, Lu Ming, Lu Kui, is not a direct descendant of the Lu family, but there is also a close blood relationship, because of his strong strength, he is quite trusted by Lu Ming. It's just that Lu Kui's personality is relatively hot, and he once killed many people under him drunk because of some trivial matters, so in the Lu family, many people are very afraid of him.

"Isn't the strength of the third child already at the peak of the Four Full Realm? Why can't he clean up a small mess that is no more than the Yangxi Realm? ”

With a palm shattering the stone table in the hall, Lu Kui glared angrily and spoke sharply, and a thick voice full of murderous intent echoed in the empty hall. Although Lu Qiu went alone, they didn't have much worry in their hearts, after all, with Lu Qiu's strength close to the peak of the Four Manchurian Realm, it was not easy to kill a kid who was not in the Yangxi Realm.

But now they saw that Lu Qiu's soul stone was shattered, and they knew very well what it meant. Originally, Lu Yu's death had already made them full of anger, and now that Lu Qiu had died at the hands of Jiang Xiaoqi, the hatred between the two made them even more angry, and they really wanted to arrest Jiang Xiaoqi and chop them alive immediately.

The so-called soul stone is a relatively peculiar jade, which can store people's soul power, as long as the soul power is injected into the soul stone, others can perceive whether there is danger through it, so the soul stone is generally given to the closest people. And the shattering of the soul stone means that the soul of the person who is injected with the soul power is shattered and the body is gone.

"Could it be that the person provided the wrong information?"

Listening to Lu Kui, who was full of cruelty on the side, speak, a trace of doubt flashed on Lu Ming's gloomy face.

"Regardless of whether he is true or not, he directly summoned people to slaughter that miscellaneous piece of dust to avenge the third child and Yu'er. ”

As soon as Lu Ming's words fell, Lu Kui continued to speak, a touch of anger flashed over his ruthless face, his eyes were round with anger, and he was about to rush out of the hall, as he said, to gather people, and he would definitely make Jiang Xiaoqi's blood debt repay.

"Buzz"

"Hmph, idiot, do you think you have a long life to do it in this great wilderness city?"

Just as Lu Kui was about to take a step, a figure suddenly appeared in the hall, wrapped in black, covering his entire person, and he couldn't see it clearly.

After the figure appeared, a majestic aura of spiritual power erupted, instantly filling all corners of the hall, and the strong aura shook Lu Kui's figure backwards again and again, and then snorted coldly at him, and said mockingly.

"You..."

Shocked back by the figure in black, Lu Kui's face surged with a touch of anger, his face was gloomy, and he was about to burst out of his spiritual power, and stepped forward to fight with the figure in black, but was pressed on the shoulder by Lu Ming's big hand.

Seeing this, Lu Kui, whose eyes were full of anger, immediately turned his head, and looked at Lu Ming who stopped him beside him with a gloomy face, only to see the latter shaking his head at him slightly, trying his best to stop him.

Seeing this, Lu Kui snorted coldly, suppressed the surging spiritual power in his body, and took a deep look at the black-clothed man who appeared in the hall, and his gloomy look was written on his face.

"Listen to Your Excellency, that little bastard has come to this great wilderness city?"

Retracting his gaze from Lu Kui's body, Lu Ming stepped forward slowly, clenched his fists slightly at the black-clothed figure that appeared in the hall, a touch of puzzlement flashed over his gloomy face, and then he asked like this.

"Hmph, you're smart. ”

"But I still have to tell you in advance, this is the last time we will provide clues, as for whether you can seize the opportunity to get rid of that kid, it depends on whether you are a bunch of wine bags and rice bags. ”

The hoarse voice came from the black robe again, and it was clear that the man had deliberately changed his voice. Soon after the cold snort came, the black-clothed figure standing in the hall had disappeared, and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared here.

In the Great Wilderness City

"Made, why did you still open a donkey meat restaurant, is it tired and crooked, the old man will demolish this dilapidated shop sooner or later. ”

Walking on the wide streets, a man and a donkey walked leisurely, listening to all kinds of chattering voices from the crowd. Suddenly, the old donkey looked up and found a store with a donkey meat plaque, and from time to time there was a burst of meat smell from inside.

Stopping in front of the donkey meat restaurant, the old donkey grinned, standing aside like a shrew and shouting, and greeted people with a family tree in less than half a bowl of tea. It wasn't until a butcher with a knife came to the shop that the old donkey stopped the abuse and ran away, completely losing the arrogance of the clamor just now.

"Boy, there's a portrait of you here, don't say it, it's quite similar. ”

In front of a street notice, the old donkey held his head high, looked at the portrait posted on the notice, and grinned at Jiang Xiaoqi, who was walking behind him. There was a look of excitement in his round eyes, and he had a posture of not being too big to see the excitement.

"Could it be that the Lu family already knows the news that I came to this great desolate city?"

Looking at the familiar portrait on the notice list, Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't help but touch his chin, whispered to himself, and pondered in his heart.

"Probably not, judging by the handwriting on the notice and the extent of the damage to the paper, it must have been pasted for a while. ”

Reaching out and touching the handwriting of the notice, Jiang Xiaoqi shook his head and denied this point of view.

"Boy, your head is really valuable, three thousand spirit crystals, or I'll pull you to turn yourself in." ”

Looking at the bounty on the notice, the corners of the old donkey's mouth were about to flow down, and a pair of big eyes seemed to be flashing with money, and he couldn't help but rub Jiang Xiaoqi's arm with his head, so tempting.

"No, I can take you to the donkey meat restaurant just now and sell you to the butcher who killed the donkey, with your figure like donkey, I can also get a lot of money. ”

Pushing away the old donkey's head, Jiang Xiaoqi pulled the corners of his mouth, opened his mouth viciously, and threatened the old donkey beside him with words.

"Phew, the old man will tear down that broken shop sooner or later. ”

......

"Boy, it doesn't take much material to carve a rune array, why do you buy so much?"

In the room of an inn, the old donkey looked at the objects all over the floor, his eyes were stunned, his tongue unconsciously pulled out, and asked Jiang Xiaoqi on the side with some doubts.

"If you're going to do it, make it bigger. ”

"Didn't their Lu family want to kill me and avenge Lu Yu, then I would let them know that if they want to kill me, they must pay the same price as blood. ”

Looking at the materials all over the floor, the corners of Jiang Xiaoqi's mouth twitched slightly, and a sneer appeared, and his words did not contain the slightest warmth. The reason why Lu Yu died was completely his own fault, no wonder others. And the people of the Lu family threatened to kill him indiscriminately, so he naturally would not sit idly by.

Since he has to do it, he has to do it thoroughly, he doesn't want to leave himself with trouble, since he has become an enemy, he must use the most ruthless means to completely defeat the other party, being merciful to the enemy is cruel to himself, Jiang Xiaoqi, who knows this well, does not intend to leave any chance for the other party.

Although he knew in his heart that the Lu family was not something he could bring down alone, Jiang Xiaoqi also did not intend to have a hard encounter with the Lu family, and he did not know much about the Lu family, and he would only bring death to himself. What's more, there are restrictions set by the city lord in the Great Wilderness City, and no one dares to violate this regulation, even if it is the three families that carry the Ding, no one dares to touch this mold.

"Boy, are you going to carve all these things into a rune array?"

Looking at the strong killing intent surging on Jiang Xiaoqi's face, the old donkey's eyelids couldn't help jumping. Although he has been with Jiang Xiaoqi for a long time, the old donkey feels that he still can't see through this young man, Jiang Xiaoqi's heart is not at all what he should be at this age, calm and sophisticated, and at this time, the killing intent surging in this young man's body makes him muttered in his heart, such a strong evil aura is not at all like what a harmless teenager can have, that kind of killing intent does not come out of thin air, it is more like climbing up by stepping on countless corpses.

"Yes, I want the Lu family to be completely removed from this great desolate city. ”
