The moment you step into Ruined City, Luo Heng feels an atmosphere completely different from the outside world.
It's not the richness of heaven and earth Primal Energy, but a... atmosphere.
The streets are spacious and lined with shops on both sides, and they don't look much different from an ordinary city.
But if you look carefully, the signs of those shops, in addition to the words selling elixirs, exercises, and weapons, also clearly read:
"The killer takes the order and the price is negotiable."
"Information trading, no one can be deceived."
"Slave trade, high qualifications."
There is even a wooden sign hanging at the door of a shop, which reads, "Nirvana Stage Relics of the strong man, genuine and affordable, support identification."
Luo Heng The corners of his mouth twitched.
This place is really just... clearly marked with prices, so you don't have to be fooled.
His footsteps did not stop, and his eyes swept around seemingly casually. As Spiritual Power had already spread quietly, he took in everything around him.
There are all kinds of pedestrians on the street, including a lone swordsman in black, a group of bloody mercenaries, a mysterious masked woman, and some casual cultivators who look ordinary but are actually extraordinary.
In fact, everyone has a sense of vigilance that can explode at any time.
Luo Heng can even feel that there are at least a dozen eyes secretly looking at his "new face".
There is exploration, but also... greed like looking at prey.
He remained calm, laughed secretly, and continued to move forward.
It's better to have a few so that I can take back the loot that originally belonged to me.
Just then, there was a commotion ahead.
Luo Heng looked over and saw two warriors confronting each other in the middle of the street.
One is a burly bald man, holding a bloody giant axe, with a fierce aura, and he has arrived at Great Mastery of the Form Creation Stage.
The other is a thin man in black, holding a long sword, with a sinister look in his eyes, also at the Form Creation Stage level.
An area has been vacated around the two people, and pedestrians have avoided it, but no one has stepped forward to dissuade them. Instead, they have watched with great interest.
"Zhao Tu, that Nine Bend Spirit Ginseng was the one I took a fancy to first!" the man in black said coldly.
"Did you like it first?" The bald man sneered and continued, "Have you paid? If you haven't paid, it's still an ownerless thing. So what if I rob it?"
"You're looking for death!"
The man in black shouted angrily, Sword Qi emitted from the long sword, the sword light was like a rainbow, and it went straight to the bald man's throat.
The swordsmanship was sharp and swift, obviously a powerful martial art.
However, the bald man did not dodge, and the bloody giant ax turned into a huge light blade several feet long, and chopped it off on the head of the man in black!
The momentum was so great that it was far beyond the ability of the man in black to confront him. He looked shocked. He obviously didn't expect that Zhao Tu's strength had progressed so much!
At this critical moment.
A figure suddenly emerged from the crowd of onlookers and slapped the bloody giant axe.
"Bang!"
Amidst the dull impact, the figure was shaken back several steps, but the giant ax of the bald man was also blocked.
Luo Heng looked at the figure with calm eyes. The one who took action was an old man in gray robe, with gray beard and hair, a thin face, and the aura of Qi Creation Stage Xiaocheng.
"You two, Ruined City's rules are that if you kill someone on the street, you will have to pay double tax." The old man in gray robe said calmly.
The bald man frowned, obviously recognizing the old man, snorted coldly, and put away the giant axe.
"Old guy, mind your own business."
Then he gave the man in black a fierce look and said, "You are lucky today, but next time you meet me, it won't be so easy."
After saying that, he turned around and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
The man in black breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists towards the old man in gray robe, and left in a hurry.
Seeing that the show was over, the onlookers dispersed one after another, and the street soon returned to its usual bustle, as if the life-and-death fight just now had never happened.
Luo Heng stood there with a playful expression. This was a bit like Black-Corner Region from the Dou Qi Continent, but it wasn't as messy as there.
Killing is allowed here, but there is a restriction. You have to pay double tax. This rule is really unique.
However, this also shows that as long as you are strong enough, you can ignore this rule.
But why did the old man who took action feel like a bad guy? It was none of his business, but he took action and offended another person. It was not worth the loss.
"Little brother, is this your first time at Ruined City?" A voice sounded from my ears.
Luo Heng looked over with a calm expression. He had long sensed that the old man appeared beside him from dozens of feet away.
Originally, he planned to wait for the old man to attack him, then kill him himself, and collect the spoils that were not his own.
As for Chaotic City's rules? It's none of his business.
But the old man didn't take action, which was a bit beyond his expectation, but he didn't show it either. He cupped his hands in a more polite manner and said, "Senior, you have good eyesight."
The old man in gray robe looked him up and down, obviously not knowing that he had just stretched out his foot at the gate of hell, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
With his Qi Creation Stage modest cultivation level, he could not see through the depth of the young man in front of him.
The aura is vague and absent, as if he is just an ordinary Earth Yuan Realm warrior, but that kind of calm demeanor is definitely not something that a Earth Yuan Realm warrior can have.
"Where are you from, little brother?" the old man asked.
"Great Flame Dynasty, a casual cultivator." Luo Heng said casually.
"Great Flame Dynasty?" The old man raised his brows slightly and said, "It's not that close to here. Little brother, I'm quite brave to come here Ruined City alone."
Luo Heng smiled and did not answer.
The old man didn't care and continued, "Since you are here Ruined City, there are some rules that I have to remind you."
He pointed to the shops on both sides of the street and said, "These shops are guarded by Nirvana Stage strong men. If you go in and buy and sell, as long as you don't cause trouble, it's basically safe."
"But if we go out of this street..." He paused, his tone was meaningful, and continued, "Then everyone will settle for their destiny."
Luo Heng didn't care, but still nodded and said, "Thank you, senior, for your advice."
The old man waved his hand and said, "It's easy to do, but I am curious, what do you want to do when you come to Ruined City?"
Luo Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Experience."
"Experience?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Come to a place like this to practice? My little brother is... different."
He paused and continued, "Well, since we are destined, I would like to remind you that Ruined City has three ordinary Nirvana Stage strong men, namely 'Blood Hand' Li Tu, 'Ghost Crone' Yin Ji, 'Mad Blade' Duan Yue, these three people do not interfere with each other, and each controls an area. If you mess with their people, you will be responsible for the consequences."
"In addition..." the old man lowered his voice a little and continued, "Besides Ruined City, there are also several groups of bandits and warriors who specialize in robbing lone warriors. If you go out of the city, it is best to go together."
Luo Heng Listen carefully and thank you again.
The old man nodded, stopped talking nonsense, and disappeared into the crowd in a flash.
Luo Heng stood there, watching the old man leave, with a smile on his lips.
This Chaotic Domain and this Ruined City are a bit interesting.
There is Nirvana Stage in charge, but they do not interfere with each other and do their own thing.
There is no City Lord's Mansion, no rules, only the jungle of the jungle.
Everyone here is a hunter, and everyone can be a prey.
Even Nirvana Stage can still be prey.
This information was roughly the same as what he knew. It was precisely because of this that he did not plan to go to Great Wilderness Prefecture in the end, and did not go to the area where he was familiar with the plot.
This is the best place for him to improve in all aspects!
