When five members of Shen Xi's family died, Shen Feng was devastated and used all the power of the Suzaku family to track down the murderer, but he never found out who was responsible.
However, not long after, Shen Yanxiao's father, Shen Feng's youngest son, Shen Yu, and his family were also brutally murdered.
All this is an unsolved mystery, but Shen Yue feels that the death of his eldest brother and sixth brother is probably related to Shen Shen.
But he didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear that he would be the next one to suffer.
"Then...then I'll all rely on my second brother." Shen Yue swallowed, feeling that his second brother suddenly became unfamiliar.
Shen Xuan sneered and said, "This is natural."
…
On the third day after returning to the imperial capital, Shen Yanxiao met with the emperor and received from the emperor a letter of commission for a city in a deserted land.
With the letter of appointment in hand, Shen Yanxiao slipped back to the Suzaku Family.
I was fascinated as I stared at the three words "the sun never sets" on the letter of appointment.
The city given to her by the emperor is called the City on which the Sun Never Sets, located in the eastern part of the Desolate Land.
The four kingdoms of Guangming Continent are all connected to the Desolate Land, each at the four corners, with the east closest to the Longxuan Empire.
"Xiu, do you know where the sun never sets?" Shen Yanxiao sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the letter of appointment over and over again.
"The Desolate Land is the base camp of the demons. There are seven headquarters in the entire Desolate Land, and the city where the sun never sets is the headquarters in the east." Xiu replied.
"Headquarters?" Shen Yanxiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
'The area where the sun never sets is comparable to the imperial capital of the Longxuan Empire, but because it was once one of the headquarters of the demon clan, the level of demons there is very high, and the distribution of low-level demons is also very dense.'
"Tsk, tsk, the emperor is really generous to me, giving me such a big place." Shen Yanxiao chuckled and lay on the bed, but the smile did not penetrate into his eyes.
Beneath the seemingly generous reward, danger brews.
If we were to obtain such a large fiefdom in a normal area, everyone would be happy to death.
However, the sun never sets on a desolate land, and the wider the area, the more monsters need to be eradicated, and the more defense and city equipment need to be built.
Usually, the winners of the Longxuan Empire Academy Competition will be assigned to smaller cities, so that they can avoid a large number of monsters and reduce their workload.
But the emperor's arrangement this time was surprising.
"It seems that the emperor has a lot of opinions about my career." How could Shen Yanxiao not guess the emperor's thoughts? Just thinking of the disgust in the emperor's eyes when he handed the commission to her, she knew that this time was deserted The tasks in this land are definitely very difficult.
The previous champion of the academy competition could not even consolidate a small city, but this time the emperor suddenly awarded her a big prize. This clearly showed that he did not want to see her successfully build the city.
However, this suited Shen Yanxiao's wishes. Her main purpose in going to the deserted land was to raise demons in captivity.
I am not afraid of too many monsters, but I am afraid that there are too few monsters to satisfy Xiu's appetite.
"Xiu, you should know some news about the Desolate Land. What do you think we should prepare for this time?" Shen Yanxiao asked Xiu for his opinion. She always felt that Xiu's understanding of the Desolate Land surpassed everyone else.
However, Xiu's answer did not disappoint her.
'If you want to rebuild the Sun Never Sets, it is difficult to do it without thousands of people. But the main purpose of entering the Sun Never Sets in the first place is to get rid of the monsters there. Otherwise, even if you bring tens of thousands of people, it will only be a bamboo basket. It's all in vain.'
