The Douwu Continent is vast, and for mortals who don't know the art of cultivation, it may be difficult to set foot in every corner of the continent in their entire life. Since the two landmasses are separated by the vast central Zhonghai Sea, since ancient times, people have roughly divided the two land areas of Seibu and Tobu, plus the many islands in the Chuhai Sea, these three areas constitute the whole continent. It was also in these three areas that the cultivation civilization continued, and countless towns and sects flourished.

As a town not far from the coast on the east side of the Seibu Continent, and close to the largest port in the northwest land, Tokatsu Town is close to the seaport in the east, so it is reasonable to say that it is a transportation hub and must be a thriving atmosphere. But coincidentally, the geographical location of Dongsheng Town is quite awkward, and it happens to be uncovered between the gaps in the business scope of several powerful forces in the surrounding area: not far from the northwest of it, the Dongyun Mountain Range and Wusheng Mountain just cut off its passage from the city to the north; On the southeast side of it is an ancient martial arts family guarding the seashore all the year round, preventing several major forces further away from reaching out to this place; The road to the southwest that connects to the Tokiyu Land boundary is blocked by the mud swamp at the foot of the Seibu Mountain Road, making it impassable.

At the same time, with the rise of the Shiyu Sect decades ago, the Shiyu Sect, whose ambitions gradually grew, naturally intended to control the transportation lifeline of the entire northwest, so he forcibly occupied the Donglin Seaport on the east side of the town. But the embarrassing thing is that, as mentioned before, the road leading from the eastern harbor to Shiyuzong is blocked by numerous mountain ranges; If you were to pass through the mountains to deliver information, you would have to waste nearly a week in the mountains. Therefore, since the Shiyu Sect took the Donglin Seaport for its own use, its subordinates basically sailed north directly by sea across the Dongyun Mountain Range, and then contacted the sect. And in this way, it has increasingly led to the isolation of Dongsheng Town from the rest of the outside world, and it has become a lonely city at the end of the wrestling forces of the major sects.

And in such an uncontrolled environment, it naturally created a chaotic scene of mixed fish and dragons, cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in Dongsheng Town. Although it is a town, it may not break out too much conflict when it is in the streets during the day; But anyone who knows the city a little bit will clearly know that the open and secret struggle between the large and small forces of all parties has never stopped, and how cheap the rules and legal system are here. If you want to survive in this town for a long time, if you don't have a little ruthlessness and determination, even if you have a big background behind you, I am afraid that you will not escape the end of your life in the end.

However, correspondingly, since Dongsheng Town is not under the jurisdiction of any forces, it has also become a place where many casual cultivators dream of making a fortune. Many idle monks who have no background or do not want to join the sect are very willing to come here to try their luck; Here, as long as you are strong enough and ruthless enough, you will have the opportunity to fight for a future for yourself. As a town, although Dongsheng Town is chaotic, it has all kinds of places and facilities, and even better than other towns. Auction halls, pubs, casinos, martial arts halls, martial arts arenas, and a variety of shops and shops, business is particularly hot; This is also the reason why even if the journey to Dongsheng Town is so inconvenient, there are still caravans that travel thousands of miles, risking the danger of being attacked by spirit beasts and mountain bandits across the mountains, and they still have to rush here to make money.

Tian Jihong has been in the village for two years, and he has also been to this Dongsheng Town several times in the company of Uncle Lin before. Uncle Lin, as the shopkeeper of the inn, needs to travel back and forth between the two places to purchase supplies, and his son is a messenger in the village, the father and son also have a deep understanding of the environment of Dongsheng Town, and have reminded Tianjihong more than once that people in this place are sinister, and it is possible to beware of being deceived everywhere, and even being bullied in public. After coming into contact with people from all walks of life in Dongsheng Town a few times, Tian Jihong also deeply agreed with what Uncle Lin said.

Therefore, this is the first time that I went to Dongsheng Town alone. Even though he has an unusual maturity compared to his peers, he is still just a young child in terms of appearance, and he does not know how to practice, so it is easy for people to despise and become the target of bullying in such a chaotic place. Tian Jihong knew in his heart that he should be fully prepared in advance and keep an eye on everything, otherwise he would definitely be deflated in Dongsheng Town at that time.

In the early morning of the second day, with the first rays of sunshine, Tianjihong set off early before the scorching heat of the day came. Dongsheng Town is about more than ten miles away from Dongyun Village, such a distance may not be anything to a monk, but it is still quite far away for a mortal like Tianjihong who does not know how to practice. About two hours later, the sweaty Tianjihong finally saw the entrance to Dongsheng Town in the distance.

After a short rest in the shade of the trees on the side of the road, Tian Jihong had a plan in mind, and reached out to take out a brand new set of clothes from the package he was carrying. Under the cover of the wide robe and masked hat, Tian Jihong could no longer see his appearance after changing clothes, and even an inch of his skin was exposed. Although Tianjihong is not strong, but his size is not too short, and it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish his real age after such a tight package, and this is also the protection of his identity. Previous experience tells Tianjihong that no matter how cautious he is in Dongsheng Town, it is not uncommon for him to dress like this in the town, many people will choose to dress like this in order to hide their identity, and even many of them are outlaws who are wanted by major forces.

After repeatedly checking that he would not reveal his face, Tian Jihong finally continued to move forward to the destination not far away. There is no fence outside Dongsheng Town, and the so-called entrance to the town is just a memorial arch and a plaque. Tianjihong wittily chose to avoid the main road, and found a secluded alley on the side to enter the town; The experience of accompanying Uncle Lin into the town several times before made him understand that the people who entered the town through the main road at the entrance, if they were not familiar faces or caravans in the town, or masters with their own extraordinary backgrounds, others would definitely be targeted by all forces in the town as stunned young people who had just entered this place. After that, no matter where the targeted person stays, the chance of being deceived or even looted will be greatly increased.

Tianjihong is naturally unwilling to be such a wrongdoer. After entering the town via a quiet path, he did not stop, and hurried towards the main road in the direction of the center of town. He knew in his heart that in such a remote place, if he stopped looking around or even asked for the location, he would also be noticed as a newcomer, and the wisest choice was to go to the center of the most lively town, first blend in with the crowd and then slowly inquire for information. At least in broad daylight, it's hard to find anyone on such a crowded street to bother you.

The centre of the town is the most prosperous business district, and as far as the eye can see, the streets are filled with a variety of goods and crowds. As far as the eye can see, people from all over the world, dressed in a variety of costumes, appear in such a small town at the same time, and with some dangerous goods that can be found on the street at will in other towns, there are also customers and merchants who disagree with each other and argue loudly, and even direct hands-on scenes are happening from time to time, which is really worthy of the reputation of Dongsheng Town's chaotic governance.

Looking at such a lively scene, Tian Jihong hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked to a crowded tavern on the side of the street. He had been to the town a few times before, most of them had only accompanied Uncle Lin and them to purchase supplies, and he had never known most of the places in the town, nor did he know where the martial arts hall was located in the town. Therefore, Tian Jihong thought to himself that he might as well find out the news in this tavern first, which can be regarded as the most extensive and convenient place in every town, except for the intelligence agencies.

The chatter, shouts, and laughter of the bustling tavern swirled under the cramped roofs, and it was clear that there was no need to worry about overhearing oneself. Tianjihong squeezed into the overcrowded bar and ordered the bartender to bring a glass of ale. Although he is only eleven or twelve years old now, it is not harmful to taste some dessert wine with a lower degree; In order to cater to the tastes and needs of the monks, many taverns will also mix some restorative drugs or elixirs that help them to make delicious medicinal wine and sell it to cultivators. Therefore, it is not too unusual for children who have begun to come into contact with cultivation at the age of ten on the Douwu Continent to occasionally taste some fine wine on weekdays.

"Heh brother, I see that your light wine doesn't taste interesting, it's no different from drinking white water, come and taste how good my white wine is!" After drinking for half an hour, the big man sitting next to Tian Jihong turned around and accosted him, and from his slightly confused eyes, he could see that this person was already a little drunk, and a large glass of liquor in his hand had already been more than half of his stomach.

"Thank you, brother, but I still have important things to do in the next meeting, and I don't want to drink too much and delay things." Tian Jihong deliberately said in a hoarse voice, although it is impossible to completely cover up the immaturity in his voice, but in this way, it is still difficult for the other party to judge his exact age, and most of them will only think that they are a young man, at least not to treat themselves as children. "I see that your face doesn't look like a local, I don't know where you're from?" Tianjihong was worried that he couldn't find someone to talk to, and when he saw that someone took the initiative to come over to chat, he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity, so he immediately asked.
