On the way back to Beijing, the three princes and their entourage encountered a giant dragon on the Ningyu River, and the news of the ship's destruction, deaths and injuries was innumerable, as if they had grown wings, and flew in all directions. However, for ordinary people, the important thing is not the life or death of the three princes and their party, but the confirmation of the existence of the Ning Yuchuan Divine Dragon through this news. 、

Countless people flocked to see the dragon, but all they could see was the fragments of the giant boat on the shore, and the late ones could not even be seen—the vendors on the shore had divided up the fragments and placed them in their shops, spitting and telling the tourists who came to see the wonders of the night, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

Under his command, 20,000 cavalry and 1,000 fishing boats conducted an unprecedented search on Ningyuchuan and its surroundings, but no trace of the young man and woman was found. The group stayed here for more than a month, and in the end they did not gain anything, so they had to return disappointed.

......

If the entire continent is compared to a leaf of a canopy tree, then the Jade Belt Mountain Range is like the thickest tendon in the middle of the leaf, dividing the entire continent from west to east. From the Moyun Plateau in the far west to the Tianzhu Ridge in the East China Sea, the Jade Belt Mountains, which are composed of countless mountains and valleys, divide the sky on this continent and the life under it.

Ten thousand years ago, this mountain range was called the Hengduan Mountain Range, taking the righteous mountain range winding across the road, and later the powerful person from the extremely high place above the nine heavens bird's eye view, found that this mountain range stretched for tens of thousands of miles, snow-capped, crystal shining, like a jade belt tied to the waist of the continent, and then spread to the world, so it was called the Jade Belt Mountain Range.

Those towering mountains, above the snow-capped peaks are a scenery that is different from the world.

At the snow line where heaven and earth meet, those snowflakes that fell from an unknown number of years ago, squeezed by countless latecomers, turned into drops of snow water, dripping from the craggy cliffs, and sliding over the slightly green moss, converging into streams of cold water, countless streams of water, through the bushes and wild meadows with dark purple berries, turned into streams jumping in the mountain streams.

And the streams from countless snow-capped mountains, after rushing for an unknown distance, finally came together one after another, converging into a large river that was sometimes wide and quiet, sometimes surging, and headed east along the northern foot of the Yudai Mountains.

The name of this river is Dajiang.

There is no other word that can accurately describe its breadth and excitement except large.

When the river rushed eastward to the middle of the Jade Belt Mountain Range, under the influence of the magic of heaven and earth, it suddenly changed its direction to the south, opening a gap in the stretching Jade Belt Mountain Range and dividing it into two sections.

At the southwest corner of the bend of the river, a majestic city stands against the mountain, quietly towering between heaven and earth.

Like the belt buckle of this continent.

This is Yunqi City.

Thousands of years ago, taking advantage of the civil strife of the demon clan, Shi Xuanlai, the marshal of Great Qin, was ordered to supervise the construction of Yunqi City at the junction of the northern foot of the Jade Belt Mountain Range and the Great River. The national teacher went to the site in person and chose the rhinoceros ridge in the northwest corner of the foothills as the city site. The Rhino Ridge is backed by the Jade Belt Mountains, like a rhinoceros horn reaching into the rushing river.

Millions of craftsmen cut the rhinoceros ridge as the foundation of the city, cut the boulders of the jade belt mountain range into tens of thousands of pounds of stone strips for the city wall stone, and boiled fish glue in the river for 100 years, and it took 19 years to build a heroic city in this desperate place that was unprecedented in the history of the human race and even the entire continent.

The three thousand array mages led by the Array Saint Fuxiang laid out countless formations to wrap them heavily, turning Yunqi City into a real copper wall. Marshal Shi Xuanlai became the first city lord of Yunqi City, and personally guarded this strategically important choke point with the respect of the marshal.

Twenty-three years later, the new Demon Emperor Hui Long, who had finally won the civil strife, took advantage of his ascension to the throne and led an army of one million to the south again, hoping to further consolidate the throne with his great exploits against the Terrans and achieve his immortal feats.

However, Hui Long and his demon army were bleeding under Yunqi City, and the millions of soldiers lost seventy percent but failed to move forward, and finally had to withdraw in despair. This was the most painful defeat suffered by the demons in the history of the war between the human and demon races, and it was also the first time in the history of the human race that the demons were successfully blocked at the northern foot of the Jade Belt Mountain Range and north of the Morikawa Gorge.

After this battle, the entire lower reaches of the river were red for more than three months, and the Jiaoyu, which was almost extinct in this area because of the construction of the Demon Suppression City, drank the blood of the demon soldiers, and in just ten years, both the number and the size were better than twenty years ago.

With the momentum of the great victory of Yunqi City, the human race rode north to attack the demon clan, and even won the battle, accumulating ten thousand years of unwillingness, blood, strength and luck, it seems that they all broke out at this moment! In the past tens of thousands of years, the powerful and desperate demon clan has been defeated and retreated, and in just 30 years, it has lost the fertile field of more than 10,000 miles to the north of the Jade Belt Mountain Range, and even the demon emperor Huilong was besieged and killed in Wushan by Shi Xuanlai, the marshal of Great Qin, and only a small number of remnants were fled into the sea of sand in the Burial Goose Desert, and there has been no trace since then.

The word demon has changed from a lingering shadow on the head of the human race for tens of thousands of years to a blue-faced, fanged, and brutal word that only exists in the history books.

After the disappearance of the demons, Yunqi City, as the first fortified city in the history of the human race, quickly found its new position - the hub of north-south transportation.

Groups of down-and-out merchants and displaced farmers with dreams of making a fortune went north one after another, taking wooden boats through the hundreds of miles long Morikawa Gorge, resting in Yunqi City and replenishing dry food and drinking water, and then rushed headlong into the embrace of the Yueyin Grassland without hesitation, in search of their own hopes and dreams.

For thousands of years, in the fertile wilderness that originally belonged to the demon race, the villages, towns and cities of the human race have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, covering every corner of the Moon Hidden Grassland, as if they were the aborigines here.

Compared with the complex terrain south of the Yudai Mountains, the vast and fertile Yueyin Grassland is a paradise for horses, cattle and sheep, as well as all kinds of rare birds and beasts.

Stacks of fine leather and rare medicinal herbs were pulled by horse-drawn carts from villages or towns in the depths of the Moon Hidden Grassland to merchant ships on several rivers such as the Rouge River, the Liuyue River, and the Zuixing River.

These merchant ships went down the river and eventually merged into the river at the foot of the Yudai Mountains, and finally anchored at the Yundu Wharf outside Yunqi City. After the discovery of the Starmeteorite Iron Mine within a radius of more than 300 miles, the number of merchant ships on the Yundu Wharf more than doubled compared to before.

The southwest side of Yunqi City is backed by the Yudai Mountain Range, and there are only two city gates on the north and east sides, which connect the people of the two worlds in the north and south of the Yudai Mountain Range through the two piers of Yundu at the north gate and Yunshu at the east gate.

Benefiting from these merchants and many other travelers with the purpose of training, making a living, etc., Yunqi City has transformed from a bridgehead against demon invasion into the richest commercial city in the entire continent.

Restaurants, inns, casinos, pawnshops, and green buildings abound in the city, and any rare treasures from Tiannan and Haibei can be found here.
