Hongmeng Demon Suppressing City

Books are indeed the inheritance of civilization. This single book is crucial for Ye Wen, allowing him to see clearly many obstacles on the path ahead.

Now he needs to find a book about the geography of the continent.

Ye Wen followed the old bookshelves, carefully examining them row by row. Before long, he found a book titled Eastern Continent Gazetteer. Ye Wen curiously pulled it from the shelf and took a quick glance. It was indeed the type of book he was looking for.

This book briefly introduced the general situation of the Eastern Continent. The Eastern Continent is the continent where Ye Wen is currently located. The cultivation system on the entire Eastern Continent is primarily based on Martial Dao cultivation, but there are also many other cultivators, including Mages.

At this moment, Ye Wen discovered that a Demon Suppressing City appeared in the book, but it was called Xingfeng Demon Suppressing City. So Ye Wen didn't look closely and continued to flip through it quickly. He hoped to find the location of the city he was currently in, as well as the situation around the city.

However, the more he flipped through it, the more Ye Wen felt something was wrong. He roughly counted that a total of eighteen Demon Suppressing Cities appeared, and each city was basically similar, mostly named starting with "Xing".

It wasn't until he saw Xinggui Demon Suppressing City and Xinghui Demon Suppressing City that he seemed to understand something. Xinghui and Xinggui, weren't these the two people Old Uncle Zong mentioned? Moreover, among the eighteen Demon Suppressing Cities, there was one with a special name, called Zongshu Demon Suppressing City.

"Old Uncle Zong, Old Uncle Zong, haha, so your name is Zongshu. I'm so stupid, I'm so foolish!"

As Ye Wen laughed, tears streamed down his face.

"It was this old man who used his own life to open my spirit and break my curse. Only today did I learn his name. Although others have always called him that, foolish me, I actually forgot to ask the villagers."

Ye Wen composed himself and looked at the book again.

Through comparison and understanding, he discovered that the city he was currently in was originally named Xingyu Demon Suppressing City.

"Xingyu? Could this city have a connection with Yu Village in the Endless Forest?"

Ye Wen was uncertain, but it was clear that this book was at least several thousand years old.

The book recorded that each Demon Suppressing City was the cultural, political, and economic center within a radius of several hundred to thousands of kilometers. In other words, the area managed by a Demon Suppressing City was equivalent to the area managed by a country.

This was only the area where the human race was active on the Eastern Continent, and it was already so vast. Then how big could this Ancestral Star be? Ye Wen couldn't estimate it at all.

Ye Wen closed the book, unable to calm down for a long time. It was not difficult to conclude from the book that Old Uncle Zong and the Xinghui and Xinggui he mentioned should have been the City Lords of the Demon Suppressing Cities in the past.

And after the strong individuals of our clan were schemed against and annihilated on other planets or continents, the Ancestral Star also met the same fate.

Most of our clan members were hunted down and killed. The remaining few hid in isolated places, like Yu Village, to preserve their lives. But Old Uncle Zong once said that only a few clan members were left, and it seemed that very few people escaped.

Even they, as former City Lords, could not protect themselves and had to hide in isolated places to survive. Then what about others? Their fate must have been tragic!

"No, the timing is wrong!"

If they were City Lords from that era, wouldn't they have lived for tens of thousands of years?

They must have paid a considerable price to escape back then. And then waited in hopelessness, enduring tens of thousands of years?

Conversely, if they were so powerful in their prime that they were heavily injured and had to flee, and then remained hidden for tens of thousands of years, how powerful were they originally?

They were definitely stronger than the current Xiantian Ninth Rank Peak. But what kind of strength did the demons they suppressed possess? And why were there eighteen Demon Suppressing Cities on the entire continent?

It seems that to find the enemy, I must start investigating from the City Lords of the Hongmeng Clan who annihilated my Demon Suppressing Cities ten thousand years ago! And Old Uncle Zong and the others have been in seclusion for ten thousand years, or they went out before and failed. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met Old Uncle Zong in Yu Village.

The enemies of the past must still have contingency plans on the Ancestral Star. I was thinking too simply at first. I thought I was safe as long as I didn't leave the continent, which was a huge mistake. I need to probe their contingency plans and follow the clues to find the enemies behind them.

Ye Wen rubbed his head. Based on these few clues, he didn't know how accurate the conclusions he deduced were. However, at least Ye Wen had figured out the identities of Old Uncle Zong and the others.

He put the book back on the shelf. The harvest today was immense, and time passed very quickly. It was almost dark outside. Ye Wen started to walk out and suddenly noticed a martial arts manual for the Houtian realm on the shelf.

Thirty-six Forms of Invincible Leg. Ye Wen marveled at the name. Out of curiosity, Ye Wen directly took it from the shelf. At this moment, another book next to it also fell out, Seventy-two Forms of Demon Subduing Fist. Ye Wen picked it up and examined it carefully. Good heavens, these legs and fists added up to one hundred and eight forms.
