Chapter Twenty-Five: Celestial Singing City
With a population of hundreds of thousands, even among the thirteen cities under the jurisdiction of the Wind and Cloud Domain, Tianming City is still a top-ranked big city. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this moment, it is the golden hour of the morning, and the Tianming City District is prosperous, crowded with people, lively, and all kinds of shouting and selling are coming and going.
But beneath this bustling surface, the dark side of Celestial City is well known. In a dark alley or a remote courtyard, swords and swords, obscene sounds, coercion, temptation, and robbery, this is no longer strange.
In the center of Tianming City sits a noble mansion, the City Lord's Mansion, the nominal administrator. Its owner, Wang Split, has been in charge of Tianming City for nearly twenty years, and has been growing every year with the resources distributed by the empire.
The status of the City Lord's Mansion is unshakeable in Tianming City, even if it is the Han family and the Liujin auction, it can't.
The main rudder of the Han family is not in the bustling area in the center of Tianming City, but in the suburbs of the city, and there are only a few rudders in the center of the city.
Of course, this is not because the Han family is not strong enough, but because the general rudder is located on the outskirts of the city, which can easily travel between Tianming City and the outside world, and secondly, it also avoids the noise and meaningless disputes in the city.
The Liujin Auction may also be located on the outskirts of the city for this purpose, which is of course more conducive to the circulation of auction items.
When Han Tian went out of the gate of Han's house, he let Xiao Yun lead the way to Tianming City, and of course those who followed Han Tian and the three elders shivered.
The headquarters of the Han family is very close to Tianming City, only about 100 meters, and it will not take long for Han Tian to come to the gate of the city.
"Why is this wall so dilapidated?" said Han Tian, frowning as he looked at the cracked brick walls and the rusty gates.
"This ...... I heard that after the wall collapses in the near future, the lord of the castle will completely remove the city wall, and the city wall will no longer be needed in Tianming Castle. Xiao Yun was stunned, panicked for a moment, and said.
"Remove the city walls, what if someone attacks the city?" Han Tian was even more surprised and asked.
"I don't know this little rhyme. Xiao Yun shook her head and said.
"The City Lord's Mansion just doesn't want to spend money on building the city walls. Behind the cold day, the fat uncle shuddered and spoke.
"After all, his City Lord's Mansion is also the master of Tianming City, if this city is destroyed at that time, what good will it do him?" Han Tian wondered.
No matter how stingy a person is, it is impossible for him to make his territory a grass nest, let alone the lord of a city?
"First, Tianming City is also a big city in the Fengyun Domain, and ordinary people don't have the strength to attack it at all. Second, the resources of Tianming City have gradually dried up over the years, and even if someone attacks Tianming City, in the end, what they get is not worth what they lose. Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion does not have to worry about the city wall at all. Shiver said methodically, like a wise man who saw everything.
Hearing this, Han Tian suddenly realized, heh, he really deserves to be a city lord, so even the money for building the city wall has been saved.
"But......" Shiver said, frowning again.
"But what?" asked Hantian, looking at Shiver.
Shiver continued: "However, although no one has attacked Tianming City, it does not mean that Tianming City has no enemy attacks. ”
"Oh, what does the third uncle mean by this?" Han Tian asked curiously. Isn't this unattacked by no one? Where did the enemy come from?
"Beast tide!" said in a deep shudder.
"Beast tide?" Han Tian's face became solemn, listening to these two words, Han Tian felt that this was not simple.
"About every two or three years, Tianming City will experience a beast tide, this beast tide is composed of countless demon beasts, they rush down from the deep mountains and old forests, their eyes are red, and they rush directly to Tianming City, seeing what they destroy. At this time, no matter what grievances they had in the past, the masters in Tianming City would temporarily put aside their burdens and defend themselves against the enemy together! There was a sadness in the chilling words.
"No wonder!" Han Tian then understood why the tall city wall was so badly damaged, and there were still many holes and footprints in some places, which turned out to be done by demon beasts.
For demon beasts, Han Tian naturally understands that those low-level animals already have their own unique system of using dragon qi after being nourished by dragon qi for a long time, which is equivalent to human cultivation. Demon beasts are already physically strong, inherently superior, and with the increase of dragon qi, under the same realm, it is generally impossible for humans to defeat demon beasts, let alone repel or even kill them.
What's more, it was a beast tide composed of thousands of demon beasts, so you can imagine how tragic the scene was.
"But fortunately, the level of the demon beasts in the beast tide is not too high, and the highest is the sixth layer of dragon qi, otherwise Tianming City would have been razed to the ground a long time ago. Shiver continued.
"Then what if there is no city wall and there is another beast tide?" asked Han Tian again.
When the beast tide occurs, even if there are masters of the tenth layer of dragon qi in Tianming City, the number of human masters is very limited after all, and there are too many demon beasts, it is inevitable that many demon beasts will break through the blockade of human beings, if it were not for the city wall to temporarily block the demon beasts, I am afraid that Tianming City would have been razed to the ground long ago.
It is conceivable that after the city wall is gone, once the beast tide comes, what will be the fate of Tianming City?
"Alas, the City Lord's Mansion claims to have the ability to protect the safety of Tianming City, and even if someone is dissatisfied, they don't dare to oppose the City Lord's Mansion, even if it is the Han family and the Liujin Auction, it is not good to interfere too much. Shiver said.
Then Dong Zhan didn't say anything, but led Han Tian into Tianming City quickly.
Because it was the golden hour in the morning, Tianming City was bustling, and although the streets were a little rotten, it did not affect the pace of people rushing to and fro.
Just as the cold day was strolling through the bustling street market, not far behind him, two men in cloaks were secretly staring at the cold sky.
"I didn't expect to dare to step out of the cold mansion on this cold day!" said one of the men with a smile.
"Hehe, without the protection of the patriarch, it would be easy for the Great Elder to deal with that cold day. ”
Another man also said loudly, "It's a pity that the Great Elder only told us to stare at the cold sky, otherwise this cold day would have been."
Surely die!"
"Stupid you, didn't you see the three elders standing next to Han Tian? And the patriarch may not be able to protect Han Tian in secret, if the Great Elder wants to take this opportunity to get rid of Han Tian, it will definitely not be so easy, but will be exposed in Tianming City, thus losing his advantage. ”
"The eldest brother is reasonable, and the younger brother admires it!"
After saying that, the two men continued to quietly follow behind Han Tian, watching his every move.
The group gradually came to the center of the city, and the buildings in front of them gradually became tall and majestic, and the road surface was much more spacious.
"The Liujin Chamber of Commerce. After walking around for a while, Han Tian and the others came to a luxurious building, the building has three floors, each floor is angular and angular, carved beams and paintings, resplendent gold, and there is a large plaque hanging on it: Liujin Chamber of Commerce!
This Liujin Chamber of Commerce is a branch of the Liujin Auction in Tianming City, specializing in various transactions, not auctioning, only in the auction in Tianming City to specialize in auction business, which can be regarded as a clear division of labor.
"It is worthy of being one of the three major forces in Tianming City, and a branch has such a grand style!" Han Tian sighed, the scale of this Liujin Chamber of Commerce was almost comparable to the top building of the Han family.
"Liujin Auction specializes in auction transactions, so it is naturally rich and rich. Shiver sneered.
At this moment, the Liujin Chamber of Commerce is full of people, and there are many people coming and going, but almost all of them are dressed extraordinary, wearing gold and silver.
As soon as Han Tian and the others walked into the Liujin Chamber of Commerce, they saw a tall and beautiful girl in a fiery red short skirt and a handsome young man facing each other, and there were some onlookers around.
"Girl, I ordered this blood-colored cold ginseng first, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this, right?" The young man looked like a cultured person, with dignified manners and an orderly speech.
"Miss Ben is not in the mood to talk to you, now immediately put down the bloody cold ginseng and leave, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
The beautiful and seductive girl held a long sword in one hand, standing proudly, he was in excellent shape, with a strong waist, like a natural stunner, much more beautiful than Han Yun, the first beauty of the Han family, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a touch of coldness and domineering appeared on his face, which made people feel a sense of respect.
This woman is by no means an idle person!
"Girl, this is too much deception, isn't it? I want this blood-colored cold ginseng to save people, and I will never give it to you, so the girl should go to another house." ”
The handsome young man was still elegant, but his face was resolute, and he was not tempted by the beauty of the girl opposite, nor was he deterred by the girl's domineering.
"I'll give you a breath time to think about. The girl didn't listen to the young man's explanation at all, and said to herself, still domineering.
"No, I'm ......"
The young man's attitude was very resolute, and he would not give up without giving up.
"It's time!"
But before the young man could finish speaking, the girl's body moved, and almost in the blink of an eye, she came to the young man, and then her small hand holding the long sword waved, and the long sword hit the young man's chest at a very fast speed.
The whole process, just in the blink of an eye, the young man didn't react at all, he felt as if his chest had been hit by a boulder, and then he made a muffled sound in his mouth, and his body flew out of the Liujin Chamber of Commerce.
When it slammed to the floor, its mouth was covered in scarlet blood and it collapsed to the ground.
"What a speed!" Han Tian looked at the beautiful girl in astonishment, he really didn't expect her strength to be so strong, just now Han Tian saw the girl move, and came to the boy's position, and then the boy flew out upside down.
But fortunately, the girl did not pull out the scabbard, otherwise the boy would have died at this moment.
This terrifying speed actually made the cold weather a little nervous, the world's martial arts are invincible, only fast and unbreakable. With super fast speed, you will inevitably have a great advantage when playing against each other.
