"This was a criminal waste of precious materials."
Objective laws do not change according to human subjective will.
Weiwei's intelligence is roughly at the level of a human infant; its brain thinks in a relatively simple way.
But when the Flying Boat landed on the edge of the Deep Pit...
Weiwei a few swipes of its claws, it looked at the heavy "Earth Gold" on its thick claws, then raised its flat head to look at the endless Deep Pit, and for the first time, despair appeared in its eyes.
Here
There really is Earth Gold.
Moreover, there is a large amount of Earth Gold.
"Earth Gold," a Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, has a high probability of forming after being subjected to tremendous force over a long period of time. This kind of force is generally beyond human control, such as an earthquake or That One hammer blow left on the Nameless Mountain. Only then can Earth Gold be formed after a long period of time.
This perfectly meets both conditions.
It's impossible for there to be no Earth Gold.
"Hey!"
Stepping down from the Flying Boat, he stood at the edge of the Deep Pit, gazing at the Earth Gold that was clearly visible through the hole Weiwei had dug out, and grinned. "Zhang Damao, this time you might really be going to Deputy Pavilion Master."
What's this?
This is a great achievement!
Earth Gold.
These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are extremely valuable. Eight years ago, when the current Pavilion Master the Dark Pavilion in the Shao Qiu Mortal Domain Shadow Pavilion was in the West Pass Plains, he used a small amount of Earth Gold to forge a Special Armament, which he cherished greatly and which greatly enhanced his combat power.
But now...
They found a large amount of Earth Gold here.
It's no exaggeration to say that...
If these Earth Gold were thrown into the West Pass Plains, Earth Gold value would instantly plummet; there were simply too many of them.
The other members of the Commerce Pavilion were also extremely excited. They could all share in the credit. The Commerce Pavilion had discovered a large amount of Earth Gold in the New Continent, which was another great achievement.
Everyone was excited.
Only Weiwei stood frozen in place, staring blankly into the distance, looking somewhat out of place.
"Go back!"
After taking a deep breath, King Mazi quickly made up his mind. "Return and report to the Domain Lord in person."
This is a very serious matter.
It must be reported in person.
This place is deep in the New Continent, far from the Seaside. Signal Towers haven't been built here. It took them three days to get here, and they will need another three days to return.
Three days later.
At this moment, Chen Fan had already returned to the "Mortal Domain" and was leisurely sitting on the City Wall of the Rainy Season Defense Line, flipping through a Storybook of folk tales in his hand, which was quite interesting. Beside him, a giant umbrella was held up to shield him from the rain.
He sat on the 20-meter-high City Wall, facing the entire Jiangbei Wasteland, quietly reading a book.
Six days had passed since he resolved the matter with King Mazi.
Within these six days.
There were no particularly large Strange Tides coming. The Greater Wraith tides he mentioned were those of the "Great Wraith Descent." As for some Meatworm Wraith Tides Greater Wraith the like, he had completely ignored them, as they posed absolutely no threat to the Mortal Domain.
He's really enjoyed sitting here these past few days.
This is the City Wall he built.
It was the sanctuary he built for himself on the Eternal Night Continent.
It was his ability to survive in chaotic times.
Just sitting there, glancing at the Jiangbei Wasteland every now and then, makes me feel happy, like a miser who feels extremely happy just by checking his purse.
Just then
The Message Talisman in his arms suddenly became slightly warm; it was King Mazi contacting him through the Signal Tower in the Undersea Tunnel.
"Domain Lord, I have something important to report."
"Explain."
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow. Wasn't King Mazi supposed to continue exploring New Continents? Why did he turn back?
That's right.
King Mazi's voice came from the other end of the Message Talisman: "Six days ago, didn't you send me and Weiwei to check if there was any Earth Gold at the bottom of that Deep Pit? Weiwei and I dug several probe holes, and the final conclusion was that the Deep Pit contained a huge amount of Earth Gold."
"Oh?"
Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he laughed. An Unclaimed Continent is great! So many opportunities would have resulted in countless deaths on the Eternal Night Continent, but on the New Continent, there's no need for conflict; everything is tacitly his.
"This is a good thing; the Commerce Pavilion has done a great job."
"But our main excavation method right now is Weiwei; we don't have any other good mining methods besides Weiwei. And the current state of our mining... well, Weiwei 're in a bit of a daze."
"To extract all of it, I'm afraid..."
It will take nearly ten years.
Chen Fan's lips twitched. He had forgotten about it. He hadn't seen the Deep Pit with his own eyes, and he didn't know exactly how big it was; he only knew from King Mazi's description.
But a crater created by the self-explosion of the Heavenly Dao is bound to be huge.
Let Weiwei go dig alone.
That's definitely a "secure job," Weiwei, basically you'll be stuck in this Deep Pit for half your life, digging slowly, until the end of time. "Wait a minute."
After cutting off his communication with King Mazi, he contacted Zhao Shengping in the "Heavenly Artifact Pavilion" in the Mortal Domain: "Zhao Shengping, I have a question for you. Can a hoe made of Earth Gold speed up the digging process?"
"Able."
Zhao Shengping replied decisively through the Message Talisman, but his voice still carried a hint of doubt. "Of course, Earth Gold is a very good material-type Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. A hoe made of Earth Gold will definitely speed up the digging process."
"But"
"That's a terrible waste."
"Earth Gold has two main effects. The first is that it can absorb most light, sound, and spiritual energy fluctuations, making it suitable for creating Night Garment and Concealment Formation."
"The second effect is that weapons made from Earth Gold are quite destructive to 'Body-Protecting Spiritual Energy,' 'Exotic Treasure Shields,' and 'Formation Barriers,' making them suitable as Special Armament."
No one has ever used Earth Gold as a hoe.
"But if you were to actually make a hoe, it would definitely be faster at digging than an ordinary hoe."
"Knew."
Chen Fan hung up the telepathic message with Zhao Shengping again and contacted Weiwei.
"Soothe Weiwei and tell her that she doesn't need to dig it all out, just a part. It should take about thirty days. Leave the rest in the Deep Pit for now, and dig it out slowly later when you have time."
"Anyway, the New Continent is all our people, so we don't need to take it all. If we can't take it, we can just leave it there for now, like storing it in Warehouse."
"Then tell Weiwei."
Double the amount of Braised Delicacies!
"Clear!"
"Weiwei."
After hanging up the Message Talisman, King Mazi looked at Weiwei, who seemed a little sullen, and gestured wildly, saying, "The Domain Lord said we don't need to dig it all out. Thirty days should be enough."
"These days, the Braised Delicacies is being served twice as much!"
Weiwei can understand what he's saying, but he can't understand what Weiwei is trying to say. In the entire Mortal Domain, only the Domain Lord can communicate with Weiwei almost without any problems.
"Roar!"
Upon hearing the news, Weiwei had been somewhat sullen, suddenly brightened up again. He trotted off with his tail slapping the ground as he went to check on the monkeys.
Dig an Undersea Tunnel that will take three to five months to build.
There's no problem Weiwei it.
But that Deep Pit.
If we really finish digging it all out, we'll be stuck there for the rest of our lives.
King Mazi looked at Weiwei with a strange expression as Weiwei kept slapping the ground as she left. He had prepared other explanations, but before he could say them, Weiwei suddenly became happy on her own.
Mortal Domain, Heavenly Artifact Pavilion.
Inside the bustling Heavenly Artifact Pavilion, Zhao Shengping, amidst the rising steam, hung up the Message Talisman and kept checking over a dozen pots of Braised Delicacies. As for the Artifact Workshop next door, it hadn't been lit for a long time.
The demand for Artifact Refining in the Mortal Domain is not high.
After he arrived in the Mortal Domain...
The cooking time for the Braised Delicacies has increased significantly.
"Has the Domain Lord assigned a task?"
A member of the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion, who was behind him, excitedly approached and asked, "I used to be Zhao Shengping's apprentice and joined the Mortal Domain with Zhao Shengping."
Although I've had a lot of free time lately.
My Master makes Braised Delicacies offal every day.
They did odd jobs, had no real work to do, and received a decent monthly salary. Moreover, the Mortal Domain was safe enough that they didn't need to worry about external crises.
It's simply a paradise.
They consumed and used resources from the Mortal Domain contributing anything to it, leaving them itching to do so. Now that they had finally received the Domain Lord's order, they were naturally overjoyed. Finally, they could be put to use!
"No."
Zhao Shengping shook his head, somewhat puzzled, and said, "The Domain Lord inquired whether using a hoe made of Earth Gold could speed up the digging process." "It could, but why would anyone use Earth Gold to make a hoe? That's insane!"
The apprentices beside him, who had initially been full of excitement, suddenly felt a little disappointed. Their Master loved making Braised Delicacies, but they didn't. They wanted to Artifact Refining... They were Artifact Refiner, not Braised Delicacies offal makers!
Soon.
It got dark.
The Eternal Night enveloped the entire Jiangbei, making Jiangbei extremely desolate under the rain. Ten days had passed since the Rainy Season began.
Tomorrow will be the eleventh day of the Rainy Season.
This Rainy Season felt like it went by exceptionally quickly.
In the stillness of the night.
The Mortal Domain Harbor remained brightly lit, with High-Speed Rail shuttling back and forth in an orderly fashion through the Undersea Tunnel.
The next moment
On the platform at the entrance to the Undersea Tunnel, red lights suddenly began to flash.
The Mortal Domain Member who were busy on the line quickly withdrew.
Soon, a High-Speed Rail, fully loaded with passengers, quickly passed through the platform without stopping, and drove directly to the Core Area of Mortal Domain, inside the Nameless Mountain. It arrived directly in front of the City Wall Cave One.
Many members of "Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion" gathered here, ready to Proficiency pick up their tools and move everything into the Warehouse, but they only discovered this when they opened the High-Speed Rail doors.
However, this High-Speed Rail wasn't carrying any Eerie Stones or Ghost Bones.
Instead, they were stones.
It has a blackish- Gold Grade and a porous honeycomb structure.
The Mortal Domain Member was operating the High-Speed Rail stepped down from the front of the train and took out a piece of Vellum: "The Domain Lord has ordered that this batch of Earth Gold not be stored in the treasury, but directly moved to the 'Heavenly Artifact Pavilion'."
The leader of the Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion squad stepped forward to confirm that the Vellum did indeed bear the stamp of the Crippled Monkey Pavilion Master before nodding in agreement.
He waved.
The members of the Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion quickly and efficiently moved all the Earth Gold from the High-Speed Rail to the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion, which was located in the Sinkhole not far away. Earth Gold is very light.
It's not difficult to move.
It feels a bit cold to the touch, but if you're feeling a bit extravagant, it's actually a great way to beat the heat during the hottest days of summer.
Heavenly Artifact Pavilion.
Zhao Shengping, who was busy making Braised Delicacies, hadn't even reacted when he saw groups of Mortal Domain Members carrying large amounts of Earth Gold into their Heavenly Artifact Pavilion's exclusive Warehouse. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Wait, what's this?"
"Earth Gold, the Domain Lord has ordered us to move into the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion."
"When did the Mortal Domain's Warehouse accumulate so much Earth Gold?"
"Brought from the New Continent."
"Did the Domain Lord say what he wanted to do?"
"He didn't say."
Zhao Shengping, no longer caring about his Braised Delicacies, hurriedly took out Message Talisman to contact the Domain Lord. After a short while, he hung up the Message Talisman and stared expressionlessly at the batches of Earth Gold being transported to their "Heavenly Artifact Pavilion" exclusive Warehouse, remaining silent in place.
His lips twitched slightly.
The Domain Lord's command was clear.
Make 50,000 hoes.
Earth Gold.
More Earth Gold is on its way until he calls a halt.
Earth Gold to make hoes.
He had never imagined such a thing in his life. It was beyond wasteful. Before this, the most extravagant thing he had ever thought about was skipping Eerie Stones on water, which was already extravagant enough.
But now...
He discovered that skipping Eerie Stones was extremely cost-effective; a few hundred Eerie Stones could keep him entertained for a whole day until he was tired of playing.
This hoe, however, could not have been made from just a few hundred Eerie Stones.
He had just explained in the Message Talisman that this Earth Gold was relatively light, and might not feel very good to swing, so he was trying to save on this batch of Earth Gold. But the Domain Lord said, "Can't we do that?"
He fell silent.
Can't it be done?
This is an insult to an Artifact Refiner!
Do!
Why can't we do it!
After taking a deep breath, Zhao Shengping quickly conceived how to use the Earth Gold to Forging the hoe. First of all, it was indeed too light. The hoe couldn't be this light; it needed to have some weight added. He didn't need to add anything else; he just needed to add some "bone shavings" made from the Ghost Bone.
It adds weight without incurring any cost.
In the past, the Ghost Bone was actually considered a cost, after all, it was a kind of Ghost Material, and it wasn't something you could just pick up anywhere.
But ever since the New Continent was discovered...
In the Mortal Domain, the Ghost Bone is no longer considered Ghost Material.
Use it as you like.
Plenty.
The apprentices behind him also had extremely complicated expressions. On the one hand, they were happy that they could finally get down to business instead of cooking that damn braised Braised Delicacies, but on the other hand, they were extremely heartbroken.
Isn't this a complete waste of resources?!
Never mind.
Having work to do is good enough; who cares what kind of work it is!
Let's get started!
Heavenly Artifact Pavilion quickly became busy, but this time it wasn't busy making Braised Delicacies offal; instead, a group of Hammer were enthusiastically hammering away.
Like an assembly line.
As time goes by.
Trains loaded with Earth Gold High-Speed Rail in front of the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion. The Domain Lord had specially added dozens of meters of High-Speed Rail Line for their Heavenly Artifact Pavilion. Now, the line from the Harbor to the Mortal Domain could reach directly to the entrance of their Heavenly Artifact Pavilion.
And what follows is...
High-Speed Rail loaded with hoes departed from the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion and headed towards the New Continent via the Undersea Tunnel.
There wasn't much time for a break in between.
During his break, Zhao Shengping quickly prepared Braised Delicacies. After all, this was no longer just a hobby; the Beast Pavilion's food supply came from him, Weiwei was still waiting for him to feed them.
Time passed quickly in this tranquility.
Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.
As the dark clouds dispersed, the Rainy Season came to an end.
During this Rainy Season.
No one died in the Mortal Domain.
All survived.
Oh, using the word "survivor" might not be the most accurate way to put it; it's easy to get through it.
The first day after the Rainy Season ended.
Jiangbei is slowly returning to its former bustling state.
Chen Fan, leaning on his Jadeite Staff, stood on the City Wall of the Rainy Season Defense Line, looking up at the long-lost clear sky and overlooking the distant Jiangbei Wasteland. He chuckled softly without saying a word; the Rainy Season was over.
Within this month, the Mortal Domain developed extremely rapidly without any interference.
The mining progress in the New Continent is also very encouraging.
It was just past dawn.
The Logistics Pavilion has already left the Mortal Domain by High-Speed Rail to check if there are any lines that need maintenance. If so, he will need to personally inspect them. However, the Rainy Season did not arrive early this time, and the Strange Entities are not rampant. Most Stations are in good condition.
Wait a few days.
Then we can head south to the West Pass Plains.
There were still a large number of Eerie Stones waiting for him to take, and he needed to contribute to the Northbank Defense Line. His thinking was simple: his Northbank Defense Line protected Jiangbei and also protected the West Pass Plains, so it was only right for him to take some Eerie Stones.
The next day.
The Logistics Pavilion has inspected all the High-Speed Rail Lines. Some sections of the underground copper Copper Pipes have been damaged. In addition, three Mortal Domain Stations have been breached by Strange Entities. However, the Camp where the Signal Tower is located has extremely high-level City Walls and is undamaged.
Not too many.
After Chen Fan spent another day perfecting all the parts that needed repair,
The Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail Railway line has resumed formal operation.
The third day after the end of the Rainy Season.
The Four Regions of Jiangbei have once again returned to their former bustling state, with groups of people traveling by High-Speed Rail to visit the Four Regions of Jiangbei again.
People from all over the country began to flock to Fancheng.
The Trade Association began its efforts again.
After a busy day yesterday, Chen Fan returned to the Mortal Domain and sat on the City Wall of Cave One, lazily reclining in his Rocking Chair, swaying casually.
He actually preferred the City Walls of the Rainy Season Defense Line.
It's higher there.
With Mortal City, it's rather unseemly for a powerful figure like him to sit on the City Wall of the Rainy Season Defense Line all day long, looking like a madman.
Let's just stay on the wall of Nameless Mountain Cave One.
"Domain Lord."
Wang Kui stood beside him, reporting, "During the thirty days of the Rainy Season, progress on the New Continent Mortal Domain has been very good. The First Defense Line is more than half-mined." "Currently, the Mortal Domain's Warehouse Eerie-Stone Reserves 189 million Eerie Stones."
"The number is still steadily increasing."
"Good."
Chen Fan laughed. It seemed that the 50,000 unofficial members from the Mortal Domain he had sent out were quite effective.
One year ago.
After the last Rainy Season ended, he made a plan.
Four years, 300 million, Suppression Jiangbei!!
Now
This goal is about to be achieved, but there is still a distance to go before reaching his current objective. Originally, he planned that the "Northbank Defense Line" would consist entirely of Level-4 City Walls.
It is on par with the "Northbank Defense Line" of Primordial Era.
But now he's not satisfied.
Not enough.
Especially after witnessing the slaughter of Living Beings in the New Continent, he wanted to build an even stronger Northbank Defense Line, not only to stop the arrival of the Strange Tide three years later, but also to protect the Mortal Domain.
When the Eternal Night Front collapsed, the Northbank Defense Line became the last line of defense for the Eternal Night Continent.
He wanted a "Northbank Defense Line" consisting entirely of Level-5 City Wall, or even Level-6 City Wall, or Level-7 City Walls.
Currently...
The Eternal Night Front survived another Rainy Season.
He had learned that the crisis on the Eternal Night Front would increase dramatically every Rainy Season, and he didn't have much time left. He had to make the Northbank Defense Line strong enough as soon as possible before the Eternal Night Front collapsed.
"Walk."
After a long pause, Chen Fan suddenly stood up and walked towards the City Wall, leading Wang Kui in Nine-Five Dragon Chariot. They arrived at the Harbor and gazed at the rows of towering "Sky-Piercing Pillar."
The Rainy Season is now over.
The 100 level 6 "Sky-Piercing Pillars " he built have stopped storing energy and entered a paused state because they can no longer absorb lightning. They will only be able to enter the energy storage state again when the Rainy Season arrives next year.
After two more Rainy Seasons, the storage will be almost full.
As for the 15 fully-leveled "Sky-Piercing Pillars," a dark cloud was floating above Sky-Piercing Pillar, and lightning could be clearly seen flashing within the cloud from time to time. The Torrential Rain almost vertically enveloped the 15 Sky-Piercing Pillars.
Rainwater pattered on the surface of the Sky-Piercing Pillar.
The power supply that was cleaved down one by one was absorbed by these 15 Sky-Piercing Pillars.
Looking from a distance.
Extremely spectacular.
The entire Jiangbei region was bathed in sunshine, but here, as if a stroke had been slashed across a white cloth, Torrential Rain fell in Pillar columns, accompanied by continuous lightning strikes. These 15 Sky-Piercing Pillars, nourished by the "Tribulation Clouds," will not mature for another three years.
"Time."
Chen Fan stood there, silently gazing at the more than one hundred Sky-Piercing Pillars. It would take three years for these Sky-Piercing Pillars to fully store their energy; time was too precious for him.
During the Rainy Season.
He has already conducted the experiment.
In a completely Airspace Ban zone, the Sky-Piercing Pillar cannot fall at all; it will explode high in the sky, causing almost no damage to the ground, since the main power of the Sky-Piercing Pillar comes from the lightning that explodes upon impact.
This means that no one can use the Sky-Piercing Pillar on him.
Sounds good.
But in reality, it's a completely useless effect. After all, only he can meet the conditions for using the Sky-Piercing Pillar of Heaven building. Without the panel, the building is completely unusable.
Other factions are also unlikely to have a completely Airspace Ban zone.
"Airspace Ban" is the "upgrade direction" chosen when upgrading Level-5 City Wall. To have a uniform Airspace Ban upgrade direction, all randomly incorrect City Walls must be destroyed and rebuilt, and then connected end to end. Considering the costs of this series of processes, he felt that even in the entire Eternal Night Continent, there should be very few people who could do it.
This is his unique method.
After standing there for a while, Chen Fan walked back to the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot and headed towards the Nameless Mountain. He had no other purpose in coming here but to check on his Sky-Piercing Pillar.
It's pleasing to the eye.
There is a City at the southernmost part of Jiangnan.
Soaring City, one of the nine major cities in Jiangnan.
Although located at the southernmost part of Jiangnan, it is hundreds of kilometers away from a City at the northernmost part of the "West Pass Plains".
There are almost no Stations between the two locations.
There was no one around.
Setting up Station requires costs, and costs need to be supported by profits. There is almost no interaction between Jiangnan and the West Pass Plains, so naturally no one would be willing to spend time and effort to build Station that no one cares about between the two places and do a losing business.
At this time.
With the end of the Rainy Season, the city has returned to its former bustling state.
Although the end of the Rainy Season does not mean that the Strange Entities have disappeared from the Eternal Night Continent, at least the risk of the city falling will be greatly reduced, and there will be no need to worry about Strange Entities breaking into your room in the middle of the night.
"Oh shit!"
A convoy of carriages, without any Faction Banner, slowly came to a stop not far from the Soaring City. There were only two or three Horse-Drawn Carriages. A Middle-Aged Man jumped off Horse-Drawn Carriage, stretched his limbs, and spat a thick wad of phlegm on the ground while cursing.
"These past few days, sitting in the Horse-Drawn Carriage has almost made my body fall apart."
"Once we get to the city, we'll need to find a good place to warm up."
His gaze casually swept over the people passing by, a hint of sneer and disdain playing on his lips.
He Trusted Aide of the Market Master "Sun-Moon House" in the West Pass Plains. This time, he was specially ordered to go to Jiangbei to find the person in the Jiangbei Mortal Domain who could make Braised Delicacies offal and bring that person back to Sun-Moon House.
Although this trip is to Jiangbei, that godforsaken place.
The journey is long.
It was somewhat tormenting for him.
But those of them who work Subordinates love going out on fieldwork the most. A few days' delay doesn't matter much; they can even eat, drink, and have some fun. After being cooped up for a month Rainy Season, they were already feeling stifled, so this was a good opportunity to relax.
It's a pretty good job.
Sun-Moon House is a fairly good force in the "West Pass Plains". Although it cannot compare with a large force like the Slaying Immortal Holy Land, it is still much better than the forces below it.
As Trusted Aide of the Market Master, he naturally felt a sense of superiority when looking at these people from Jiangnan.
"Walk!"
The Middle-Aged Man grinned, stretched his limbs for a while, and then prepared to get back into the Horse-Drawn Carriage to go into the city and find some fun. Don't be fooled by his humble demeanor in front of the Market Master.
But apart from Sun-Moon House.
He is the emperor.
Just then
"Gentlemen, West Pass Plains?"
A somewhat aged voice suddenly rang in their ears, and an Elderly Man carrying a firewood basket stood beside them, speaking shakily. The Middle-Aged Man turned his gaze away from the "Soaring City" not far ahead, looked the old man up and down, and frowned slightly, saying, "Any guidance?"
Was their air of nobility so obvious?
They had already concealed their Faction Banner, but they were still recognized at a glance as coming from the West Pass Plains.
Well.
There's no way around it, it's just overwhelmingly luxurious.
I dare not offer any guidance.
The Elderly Man shook his head, pointed to the nearby area and then to the red line on the plain. "Gentlemen, haven't you noticed that there are no Horse-Drawn Carriages parked along this line?"
Parking is not allowed on this line.
"Oh?"
Only then did the Middle-Aged Man notice that their Horse-Drawn Carriage was running over a long, scarlet line. At a glance, this scarlet line not only stretched straight into Soaring City ahead, but also extended to the plains further away. He then burst into a furious laugh.
"Interesting. Who made this rule? Tell us."
That's really domineering.
Is the line marked as ground?
Even the Sun-Moon House wouldn't dare be this domineering in the West Pass Plains. He wanted to see which force was so arrogant, truly beyond measure. "These are the rules set by the Jiangbei Mortal Domain."
The Elderly Man, who had just returned from gathering firewood, glanced behind them and said tremblingly, "Hurry up and go, the High-Speed Rail will be here soon, and it might hurt you."
"Interesting, very interesting."
The Middle-Aged Man burst into laughter. "Jiangbei's power has set the rules for you in Jiangnan, and not a single person in Jiangnan has resisted. You're such cowards."
"I'm not leaving today."
"We'll stay on this line."
"I'll see what the Jiangbei Mortal Domain can do to me!"
However.
The Elderly Man didn't say a word, but quickened his pace slightly, taking small, quick steps to move to the side.
Why aren't you saying anything?
The Middle-Aged Man watched the Elderly Man's departing figure, smacking his lips in dissatisfaction. He then frowned as he looked around at the rapidly dispersing crowd and said, "You all..."
Just then...
He vaguely heard a sound coming from behind him.
Like the sound of air being pierced.
He instinctively turned around to look.
A long dragon was seen speeding from the depths of the plains, heading straight for him—or rather, for his Horse-Drawn Carriage.
The man's expression changed drastically in an instant. Almost immediately, spiritual energy surged beneath his feet, and he dodged away almost sideways. At the same time, his Subordinates, who had been inside the carriage, also used their unique abilities to quickly escape from the Horse-Drawn Carriage.
"Bang!"
A tremendous impact was heard.
The dragon-like thing crashed into their Horse-Drawn Carriage without slowing down at all, smashing Horse-Drawn Carriage to pieces almost instantly. Then, it passed through the dust and debris almost unscathed, heading straight for Soaring City and disappearing from their sight.
After the man realized what was happening...
Their Horse-Drawn Carriage had been reduced to rubble.
No one was injured.
But at this moment they really looked rather disheveled, and the gazes around them seemed to be mocking him.
The man stood frozen in place for a long while, his back drenched in cold sweat. He angrily cursed, "That... that... that... what the hell is that thing?!"
He didn't even know how to describe it.
Extremely fast.
If that thing hit him, even if he were Cultivator, he would surely die!
No one answered him; instead, they all cast admiring glances at him. In all these days, this was the first time they had ever seen someone actually dare to block the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail line.
Just then!
Suddenly, two people dressed in uniform attire representing their faction walked towards him and stood before him.
"Name."
"Hu Zi," the man answered instinctively.
"Power."
"Kansai..." The man suddenly realized what was happening, looked at the two men in front of him with an extremely ugly expression, and said, "Who the hell are you? What business is it of yours which faction I belong to!"
It seems like everything has gone wrong since I came to Jiangnan.
Where the hell did these two come from?
There is a "Fan" logo on the cuffs.
Etc?
Mortal Domain?
One of the Mortal Domain Members frowned slightly upon hearing this; it had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him like that. He pointed to the fragments of the Horse-Drawn Carriage beside him and said, "Didn't our Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail just collide with your Horse-Drawn Carriage?"
" From the Mortal Domain?"
Hu Zi suddenly realized what had happened and felt much better. It seemed that the Mortal Domain was quite reasonable; they had damaged his Horse-Drawn Carriage and were offering immediate compensation. That thing they had just seen was called High-Speed Rail.
That's a bit strange.
These two people in front of me must be members of the Mortal Domain. It's strange, though. How could a force from Jiangbei encounter members of the Mortal Domain in the southernmost city of Jiangnan? And they don't seem to be just passing through, but rather settled here.
Can a power from Jiangbei really extend its reach this far?
"Cough."
Hu Zi coughed lightly. "How about this, we only had two Horse-Drawn Carriages smashed and 30,000 Eerie Stones. Let's just call it even, okay?" The Horse-Drawn Carriages belonged to the government, so we can report the damage when we get back.
Once he got his hands on those 30,000 Eerie Stones, he could share them with his subordinates as extra income.
"Too few."
The Mortal Domain Member shook their heads.
"I don't need much, just 30,000 Eerie Stones. Those two Horse-Drawn Carriages alone are worth 20,000 Eerie Stones. I still have a lot of things in my carriage, all of which you damaged. If I wasn't worried that you Mortal Domain wouldn't be able to come up with that many Eerie Stones, I would have... Uh, wait, you mean you said too little?"
Hu Zi stood there, somewhat bewildered, and stammered, "Um... well... if you Mortal Domain want to compensate me more, I naturally have no objection." Is Jiangnan such a strange place?
The Mortal Domain Member frowned slightly, looked the Middle-Aged Man up and down, and said nothing more. He simply took out a pre-written ticket from his companion and handed it to the man.
"According to the rules of the Mortal Domain, anyone who maliciously blocks the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail line will be fined 50,000 Eerie Stones for unintentional obstruction, and executed on purpose for intentional obstruction." "Here is the ticket."
"Within ten days, go to any of the four mortal Mortal Domain offices in Four Regions of Jiangbei and pay the full amount of the Eerie Stones."
You can run away.
"Mortal Domain does not receive the Eerie Stone in ten days, Mortal Domain Manhunt Warrant will be issued against you."
That's all.
The two Mortal Domain Member said nothing more and immediately turned and walked towards Soaring City.
Huzi froze on the spot, looking down at the ticket in his hand and the stamp with the word "Fan" in the lower right corner of the ticket. Suddenly, an unknown fire surged up in his heart. He crashed his carriage and asked him to pay instead of paying him!
This Mortal Domain is far too domineering!
"Hello!"
Hu Zi stood frozen in place, his whole body trembling uncontrollably with rage. He slowly crumpled the ticket in his hand into a ball and threw it far away. He looked up at the backs of the two departing Mortal Domain Member and grinned maliciously.
"You."
"Are you really taking me for a fool?"
"I have a nickname: Mad Dog!"
The next moment!
A surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from the man's body. He leaped up almost instantly, appearing behind one of the Mortal Domain Members in the blink of an eye with a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, as if he had teleported.
He swung his right fist menacingly and slammed it down hard.
"Boom!!"
A tremendous crash suddenly rang out.
"Plop... Plop"
Hu Gao lay in a crater in the ground, the bottom of which was riddled with tiny Rifts. Severely injured and gushing blood, he stared at the two Mortal Domain Members with disbelief and despair in his eyes, trembling as he said, "How... how is this possible? You are... Martial King with Perfect Body Tempering?"
"Are you... are you kidding me?!"
He is a 9-year-old Cultivator.
One step away from Martial King.
This Cultivation is certainly not considered strong in the West Pass Plains, but it is definitely not low either. He believes that there are few people in Jiangnan who can beat him, and even if there are, a small fry from the Mortal Domain would definitely not be able to defeat him.
But he didn't expect that.
This nobody is actually Martial King, and Martial King has reached the Perfect Body Tempering. Is this any different from seeing a ghost in broad Daytime?
His sneak attack failed to injure his opponent.
But his opponent punched him in return, and he felt like he was about to die.
The Mortal Domain Member spoke first looked up at the man's subordinate standing not far away, his Subordinate filled with fear and unwilling to step forward, before squatting down again to look at the man. He pointed to the two raised embroidered horizontal stripes on the chest of his robe and said softly.
"Didn't you see it?"
"I am a member of the Mortal Domain's Second Rank, do you really think I'm just an unofficial member of the Mortal Domain?"
"Ambush of Mortal Domain Member."
"He should be executed immediately."
"But if nothing unexpected happens, you're probably not from the Four Regions of Jiangbei; you're likely from the West Pass Plains or some other area."
You'd better pray that the power behind you can afford the ransom.
"Otherwise"
"You can now begin to reflect on your life."
Soon.
He then pulled out Message Talisman from his pocket and whispered, "Zhang Qitian of the Mortal Domain War Pavilion team has captured someone who may be from the West Pass Plains at the east gate of Soaring City. Requesting backup."
The Domain Lord had long anticipated that people from the West Pass Plains might come to Jiangnan after the Rainy Season ended.
After all, over the past year, the winds of the Mortal Domain have blown to the West Pass Plains to some extent.
They'll definitely send someone over there to check.
If you come to Jiangnan, the first stop will definitely be "Soaring City".
Therefore, in the past few days, half of the members of the Mortal Domain War Pavilion have stayed in Soaring City, responsible for waiting for the enemy to come to them. Unlike other Mortal Domain Member, they have no other work besides taking turns patrolling, and spend the rest of their time cultivating.
Their Cultivation were also the highest in the Mortal Domain.
Martial King?
Zhe drinks and relieves himself entirely in the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion; is Martial King really that rare?
"Support?"
Hu Gao, who was lying in the pit with severe injuries and was on the verge of death, heard this Mortal Domain Member calling for support with Message Talisman. Despite the pain all over his body, he couldn't help but laugh out loud in anger.
