Tianya City

Yun Yun, dressed in a light blue dress, finally arrived just in time to save Xiao Yuan from leaving.

Xiao Yuan smiled and took a step forward, arriving in front of Yun Yun.

"Xiao Yuan." Upon seeing the familiar handsome face, Yun Yun smiled, but then noticed that her long-awaited lover was standing in mid-air. "You've reached the Dou Zong?"

Yun Yun realized what this meant and blinked in disbelief.

"Yes, it was a bit of a stroke of luck."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun shook her head, somewhat speechless.

In less than a year, he crossed the major level of Dou Emperor and became Dou Zong powerhouse. It's truly unbelievable.

On the Gryphon, Xiao Yan couldn't help but purse his lips.

Third Brother is good in every way, except he's too sentimental.

Xiao Yi Xian is alright; she knows about Yun Yun's situation, and Xiao Yan has also mentioned wanting to go to Central State together.

Zi Yan had known about their relationship for a long time, but she didn't care.

As long as she had pills to take, she would go wherever Xiao Yuan went.

Ye Zhong was already numb.

It's clear that this woman is also Xiao Yuan's lover, and her aura is already close to the Dou Huang Peak level.

And he doesn't seem to be very old.

Compared to them, his own Xin Lan had absolutely no advantage! Ye Zhong gave up.

"Let's catch up later, and I'll introduce these two to you."

As Xiao Yuan spoke, he led Yun Yun back to the Gryphon and introduced their "guides," Ye Zhong and Ye Xinlan.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group finally embarked on their journey to Central State. Their destination was Tianya City, located in a mountain range called Tianqing, thousands of miles away from the Black-Corner Region. As the only city within a thousand miles that possesses Space Wormhole leading to Central State, Tianya City is undoubtedly the most prosperous city within that area.

At the speed of the Gryphon, it would take at least half a month to reach Tianya City in the Tianqing Mountain Range from the Black-Corner Region. However, Xiao Yuan and the others had no other choice. Xin Lan had not yet reached the Dou Wang Stage, and even if she had, it would certainly be difficult for her to fly directly to Tianya City. Traveling and stopping like this was not as convenient as simply riding the Gryphon. Although it would take a little longer, it would be fine once you got used to it.

During this flight, thanks to Ye Zhong and generous sharing of knowledge, Xiao Yuan and the others gained a deeper understanding of Central State.

Space Wormhole are unique to the Central Plains Continent. They are two spatial points connected by the Space Power of Dou Zun expert. The distance between the Black-Corner Region and the Central State is such that even a Dou Zong powerhouse would need at least half a year to cross. However, if one travels through Space Wormhole, it would only take a month. However, the construction of Space Wormhole is quite difficult, and they also require frequent maintenance. The strength of the maintenance personnel alone must be at least around the Dou Zong. Therefore, they rarely appear in other regions except for places like the Central State.

The Central Plains Continent is extremely vast, so most of its large cities have so-called "Space Wormhole" to slow down travel time. These "space wormholes" are mostly built by the Central State's top experts or seniors. Therefore, if the senior who built the "Space Wormhole Space Wormhole" belongs to a certain family, then the "Space Wormhole" will become the property of that family. Of course, even these extremely powerful families dare not occupy such public transportation facilities on their own. However, very few families would do such a foolish thing, because if they were opened, the profits from a single "Space Wormhole" each year would reach a terrifying figure, enough to support an entire family.

Therefore, in Central State, the appearance of every "Space Wormhole" will attract the envy of countless forces. However, apart from some powerful families or sects, the rest can only watch with envy. After all, not everyone can afford to hire Dou Zun expert and spend a lot of effort to build a "Space Wormhole". Therefore, in Central State, a "Space Wormhole" also symbolizes wealth and power. Most of those who can possess it are well-known first-class forces.

Of course, this excludes some families or forces that benefit from the legacy of their ancestors.

As for the current power structure in Central State, Ye Zhong only knows about the human aspect; he is not very clear about the magical beast families and other races.

In Central State, human forces are roughly divided into One Hall, One Tower, two sects Three Valleys, Four Directions Pavilion.

That is to say, the eleven forces: Danta, Soul Hall, Flower Sect, Tianming Sect, Burning Flame Valley, Sound Valley, Ice River Valley, Starfall Pavilion, Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, and Yellow Springs Pavilion.

Of these, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan had already heard about about about half of them beforehand.

The Three Thousand Lightning Movement of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Wind Venerable, an old friend of Yao Lao the Starfall Pavilion, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations in the Burning Flame Valley, the Pill Gathering to be held by the Danta, and the scum of the Soul Hall.

Of course, Xiao Yuan did have some impression of the Flower Sect and the Tianming Sect, although not much, but he still vaguely knew some things about them.

He also had some impression of the Ice River Valley.

Of course, the forces mentioned are only some of the most famous forces in Central State. However, there are many hidden talents in Central State. Even some forces that seem to be unknown may be hiding some top experts. Therefore, one must be careful when doing things in Central State.

As for the Warcraft family, Xiao Yuan did remember some of them.

The main ones to watch out for are the three major clans: the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, the Nine Netherworld Python Tribe, and the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe that traverses the void.

However, we shouldn't provoke these forces right now.

Because we can't beat them.

These Three Great Magical Beast Families each have a Dou Sheng- level expert who could kill himself with a fart.

There are countless Dou Zun expert, and I don't have the right to be arrogant at the moment.

While Xiao Yuan was lamenting his own weakness, Xin Lan suddenly beamed with joy, pointing to a mountain range that suddenly jutted out from the ground in the distance, and exclaimed excitedly, "Tianqing Mountain Range, we've arrived!"

The Gryphon crossed the plains and slowly entered the mountain range. Soon, a series of wide roads within the mountain range appeared in the view of Xiao Yuan and the others. On the roads, they could see many figures coming and going. Even from such a distance, Xiao Yuan could vaguely hear some noises coming from the ground.

In the sky above the mountain range, Xiao Yuan was not the only Gryphon. Shortly after they entered the mountain range, they heard the sound of wind breaking in the distance. Soon after, they saw many strangely shaped flying beasts flapping their wings and flying into the mountain range. When they passed by Xiao Yuan and the others, they could clearly see some figures sitting on the flying beasts.

The first impression Xiao Yuan got of the entire mountain range was one of prosperity. After all, even in the skies of the Black-Corner Region, it was rare to see so many flying beasts appearing at the same time. Here, flying beasts seemed to be a common means of transportation. However, along the way, most of the flying beasts seemed to be ordinary first Tier 2 Magical Beast, and it was rare to see any that exceeded the third tier. Therefore, Xiao Yuan's Gryphon attracted a lot of surprised glances from the sky. Especially when these glances were drawn to the fact that there were only six or seven people on such a large flying beast, their surprised gazes were tinged with envy. High-grade flying beasts like Gryphon were extremely rare. Unless they were from families or forces with considerable resources, ordinary people would find it very difficult to tame them.

Xiao Yuan paid no attention to the envious glances. He lightly stomped his foot, and the Gryphon let out a loud cry. Then, it flapped its giant wings and quickly flew away into the depths of the mountains.

After Gryphon for nearly ten minutes, the outline of a huge city began to appear faintly from the lush mountains.

As they drew closer, the massive city came into full view of Xiao Yuan. After carefully examining its scale, Xiao Yuan nodded once again.

As Xiao Yuan observed the city, the Gryphon was getting closer and closer to the ground. Just as it was about to enter the sky above the city, a figure suddenly flashed up from the city gate and transformed into an old man in a yellow robe.

The old man in the yellow robe had a rather cold and stern expression. His pair of Douqi Wings fluttered slightly as he hovered in front of the Gryphon's flight path and said in a deep voice, "Is this your first time in Tianya City? Don't you know that flying beasts are not allowed to enter the skies above Tianya City?"

With its flight path blocked, the Gryphon also stopped at the sound of an eagle's cry. Its huge eyes stared fiercely at the old man in yellow in front of it, but after Xiao Yuan on its back stomped his foot, it obediently withdrew its sharpness.

Ye Zhong's expression was also somewhat unpleasant. He was, after all, the patriarch of the Dan Tower Elder Seat family. How could he be blocked by such Dou Wang- level nobody?

"This is indeed my first time here. I didn't expect that there would be so many rules in Tianya City."

Zi Yan couldn't hold back any longer and snorted coldly.

"Dou Huang expert?"

As the thunderous sound reverberated in his ears, the yellow-robed elder's expression changed slightly. He cautiously scanned the Gryphon and was then somewhat astonished to discover that, apart from one person, the other five were all far stronger than him. In particular, the blue-robed elder gave him a sense of oppression, and under this suppression, the flow of his internal Dou Qi became much more obstructed.

"This person's strength is terrifying. Even within the Luo Clan, only a handful of people can give me this feeling! Such a powerful figure has come to my Tianya City at this time. I wonder what his purpose is?" The old man in yellow robes felt a surge of emotions, but his expression softened considerably. He cupped his hands to Xiao Yuan and the others and said, "Friends, this is indeed a long-standing rule of Tianya City. At the city gate below, there is a special place for our Luo Clan members to park their flying beasts."

"The Luo Clan? Senior Xiao Yuan, there are many forces in Tianya City, and they are a mixed bag. However, the one that has existed for the longest time is the Luo Clan. Moreover, the Space Wormhole also belongs to the Luo Clan. Within their family, there is an ancestor whose strength is about Five Star Dou Zong. He is the strongest person in the city. If it weren't for this old man, the Luo Clan probably wouldn't have been able to control the Space Wormhole on their own for so many years. After all, this juicy piece of meat is coveted by countless people every day."

Hearing the words of the old man in yellow, Xin Lan whispered behind Xiao Yuan.

Nodding slightly, Xiao Yuan glanced at the old man in yellow. The latter's strength was only around Two-Star Dou Wang, which could be considered a strong person. He came here only to borrow a passage through the Space Wormhole and did not want to cause any trouble because of other things.

"Thank you for letting me know. Also, could you tell me the location of the Space Wormhole in Tianya City?"

Xiao Yuan said in a calm voice.

"In the city center, after entering the city, the group walked along the main road and were able to see the Space Wormhole."

Upon hearing this, the old man in yellow also quickly smiled and said.

"Yes, thank you."

Xiao Yuan nodded, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the old man in yellow. With a flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind enveloped the Gryphon and sent it swiftly crashing to the ground.

Seeing Xiao Yuan and the others land on the ground, the old man in yellow breathed a sigh of relief, "Except for that girl, they were all experts at the Dou Emperor level or above. We almost got into big trouble!"

On the other side, Xiao Yuan did not land at the so-called resting point as indicated by the old man in yellow. Instead, he randomly found a dense forest outside the city and landed there.

"Let's go back."

Once the Gryphon landed, Xiao Yuan and the others swooped down as well. Looking at the Gryphon lying on the ground, he smiled, stuffed a pill that was beneficial to the growth of magical beasts into the Gryphon's big mouth, and then said with a smile.

Feeling the powerful energy in the pill he swallowed, the Gryphon happily rubbed its large head against Xiao Yuan a few times before flapping its giant wings, slowly rising into the sky, and then quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Watching the Gryphon leave, Xiao Yuan let out a breath, waved to everyone, and turned to head towards Tianya City.

After entering the city, the group headed straight for the city center.

Along the main street paved with bluestone, shouts and calls could be heard from time to time. A wide variety of goods were displayed in the shops on both sides, and people came and went in an endless stream.

The entire Tianya City exuded a sense of busyness and crowding.

This was also the first time Yun Yun had ever been so far from the Jia Ma Empire, and she was quite curious about the outside world, scanning her surroundings with her eyes.

Clatter, clatter, clatter! Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from ahead of the street, and the entire street immediately became chaotic. A fiery red figure galloped from the end of the street, knocking over countless people along the way. Just as these people glared angrily, they discovered that on the red horse was a girl dressed in bright red. The girl was quite beautiful, but her brows revealed a hint of wildness and savagery. A red leather whip was wrapped around her slender waist, and her triumphant laughter echoed endlessly in the street.

The red horse, like a flame, flashed past from afar and appeared not far from Xiao Yuan and the others in just a few blinks of an eye.

"Good dogs don't block the way! Get out of my way, all of you! Otherwise, if you get trampled to death, no one will be responsible!"

Looking at the several figures not far ahead who were neither dodging nor avoiding, the Red-Clothed Girl frowned and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's lips curled into a chilling smile.

Even Dou Zong expert has to speak to him politely, yet this arrogant little girl dares to bark and howl in front of him?
