Chapter 222: The Doorman
"Thank you. β
Duan Heng only paused slightly, then smiled, casually threw a piece of dragon crystal to the man, and continued on his way, without the slightest intention of asking further.
This made the man very stunned for a moment, because by Duan Heng not knowing the current market price of Long Jing, it could be judged that he didn't know much about the recent situation in Yunxiao City and even the entire Upper and Lower Eighteen Prefectures, and if he was a normal person, he had to find out the most basic information first, but why did he just leave?
At the very least, you have to ask about the specific amount of Dragon Crystal exchanged for high-grade immortal stones, right?
But Duan Heng didn't look interested at all.
The man hesitated, but finally gave up, this kind of thing is not soliciting in the mundane world, and it is the first principle to stop in moderation and try not to cause conflict.
But that person didn't know that Duan Heng was not interested in these news and intelligence, but that he had to be absolutely cautious, because from now on, he had officially stepped into the battlefield, and every word and deed could become a flaw.
For example, if you inquire about information and intelligence, you seem to be asking for information, but at the same time, the questions you ask will indirectly reveal your original intention, and even, if you meet a powerful person like Ouyang Shunde and Ouyang Changge, you can deduce countless possibilities by them with a simple question. Then determine your true intentions.
As far as Duan Heng himself is concerned, he has no doubt that the demon star's layout derivation ability is weaker than Ouyang Shunde's uncle and nephew, in fact, this guy should be a few points better, after all, he was once an ancient demon emperor, and after countless ups and downs, he must not be underestimated.
But now, Duan Heng has to face this guy head-on, and the only thing he can rely on is that his current strength is far better than the demon star at this moment.
After entering Cloud City, Duan Heng did not stop at all. Just follow the sky-high stairs and go straight to the top.
Since he wanted to use this Cloud City as the main battlefield, it was impossible not to do anything, because this duel was not a short time to decide the winner, even if the demon star had locked him, maybe the demon star would also be secretly observing. And slowly laid out, boiled for one hundred and eighty years, and after making sure that everything was foolproof, he would act quickly and not give Duan Heng any chance to fight back.
In this case, how could Duan Heng do nothing?
What he has to do now is very simple, to be a doorman, and to be a doorman of the city lord of Cloud City, which is in Cloud City. Even the entire Lower Qinzhou can be regarded as the largest force.
According to the information that Duan Heng had before, this Cloud City City Lord was the younger brother of the head of the Qin family, one of the five great emperor clans, and he was an existence with a pivotal position in the Qin family.
Of course, none of this matters. The important thing is that the Qin family had already begun to weaken more than a hundred years ago. I don't know if they did it deliberately or were suppressed, in short, they were cleaned up by Ouyang Shunde and Ouyang Changge, and even in the chaos more than fifty years ago, they suffered heavy losses, in this case. The Qin family really needs some powerful disciples to maintain it.
In fact, the other four great emperor clans and the nine high gates all suffered heavy losses, so to a certain extent, the conditions for absorbing disciples were relaxed. The Qin family is just the most lenient.
The platforms are magnificent, and you can see countless courtyards, residences, shops, and prosperous places.
But what really attracts Duan Heng is the intricate runes carved on the faΓ§ade of each platform, which should be the foundation of Cloud City.
There are a total of twelve platforms in the Sky City, of which the lower three platforms are places where you can live at will, and they are also the most prosperous.
The middle and third floors are mainly magnificent residences, courtyards, and even manors, after all, this platform is very huge, you can't see the edge at a glance, many aborigines of Cloud City live here, but these people are not easy to follow, almost all of them are small and medium-sized families attached to the Qin family, their ancestors are all guests of the Qin family, or elders, or relatives by marriage, in short, the relationship is very close.
A class like them is the middle class of the human race in the 36 states of Daqian, well, in the words of the earth, it is the middle class.
Their bloodlines are not low, and their family power is also very strong, and they are inextricably linked with the five great emperor clans and nine high sects, and it is also common for a few cultivation geniuses to pop up.
Above the middle third layer, it is the top three floors, when Duan Heng walked all the way here, but it was already the third day, no way, as an outsider, it is not allowed to cast a retreat here, there is a no-fly formation similar to the shield wind fort, you can only take a mount, plus Duan Heng also wants to know more about this Cloud City, so it took three days and three nights, and it took nearly 10,000 miles, but this is only equivalent to one-third of the radius of Cloud City.
From this point of view, it also shows the heritage of this Cloud City, and I don't know how many years it took to build Cloud City back then.
"Stop, this place is forbidden, and no outsiders are allowed to enter. β
As expected, when Duan Heng was about to step into the upper third floor, he was stopped by someone, here, the guards of Cloud City who were in charge of patrolling were already extremely strong, and any one of them was a cultivator above the governor's position.
In addition, Duan Heng also saw that in this area, there were at least more than a dozen spirit beasts on guard, and the most powerful one-horned python among them had already reached the strength of the emperor level.
This is a spirit beast that was completely raised from childhood to adulthood by the Qin family, different from demon beasts, and different from the Honghuang God Clan, just like a guide dog, very powerful and loyal, because it can't turn into a dragon, it has embarked on another path.
With his eyes swept all this slightly, Duan Heng also clenched his fists and said bluntly: "Li Qiuye, a man of the wilderness, asks to be a guest of your mansion." β
He said this very loudly, but it was also extremely simple, even a little rough and rude, because what kind of place is this, what cats and dogs are running to shout?
It's like an ordinary earthling running to the door of the mayor's house and shouting that I will be your staff officer, believe it or not, and immediately blast it out for you?
Therefore, this is also a doorman, not only strength, but also trust, at least there must be a recommendation from the children of the Qin family, this is a doorman, not a house slave.
Even if the Qin family has relaxed the selection conditions for doormen, Duan Heng is the only one who comes to the door so straightforwardly.
So for the first time, the patrolling guards were stunned, who is this? Where did the wild man come out, why didn't he understand the rules at all?
A man who seemed to be the leader of the guards looked Duan Heng up and down a few times, and then smiled: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, this place is a forbidden place in Cloud City, and we are not qualified to spread the word about this, so you better go back." β
