Ding Youcheng can even call the city lord and the leader of the city guards, and his own realm is also the third level of extraordinary. It is obvious that he is not an ordinary character.
But when he faced Chen Yang, who was only in the late stage of consecration, he was quite polite.
This made Chen Yang quite fond of him.
After the banquet was served, before Chen Yang could continue asking questions, Ding Youcheng took the initiative and said: "The central continent is completely ruled by the Tiansheng Empire. The other continents, except the imperial area, are managed by various countries. But in the northern continent
, but there is no country.”
Chen Yang asked doubtfully: "There is no country?"
Ding Youcheng said: "Besides the imperial area, there are many cities in the Northern Continent, but there is no country. All the cities are managed by various sects. The entire Northern Continent is mainly composed of three sects, which divide the resources of the Northern Continent.
Territory. Although the other small sects also have their own territories, they are settled in a corner and have no influence."
Chen Yang asked: "Then the three sects also have to manage the secular affairs of the city. Isn't it a waste of time and effort?"
Ding Youcheng shook his head: "The three sects are huge in strength. They have offices, rudders, altars, and halls to manage cities and areas of different sizes. Take the altar at the lowest level, which actually does not interfere in the common affairs of the city.
It's just a matter of appointing the city lord, accepting offerings, and making occasional inspections."
Chen Yang said: "So, the three sects almost only need to enjoy offerings?"
Ding Youcheng nodded: "That's true."
Chen Yang thought about it and found that the situation in the northern continent was completely different from that in the western continent.
The three sects rule the northern continent, and there is definitely no shortage of resources. They will only grow bigger and stronger, and will not give other forces a chance to develop.
He asked again: "Brother Ding, how are the four major courtyards, the ten major chambers of commerce, and the Rune Guild developing in the Northern Continent?"
"They are not weak, but they are still not strong enough to compete with the three major sects."
Ding Youcheng took a sip of wine and continued: "Brother Chen, you look like you're new here, do you have a place to stay?"
Chen Yang smiled and said: "I still have some money on me, so I can trouble Brother Ding to help me find a place to live."
"Do you want to live in Xinfeng City?"
Ding Youcheng asked, and without waiting for Chen Yang's answer, he continued: "The spiritual energy in this city is thin, and there are no good cultivation resources. If you stay in the city, it will undoubtedly delay your cultivation."
Hearing this, Chen Yang also felt that it made sense. He had to recover as soon as possible and could not waste time.
Ding Youcheng thought for a while and said: "Brother Chen, if you don't mind, I will write a book. You can go to Yulong Hall and find a friend of mine. He can place you in Yulong Hall. The training conditions there are
, but it is much better than being in the city."
Chen Yang had a general understanding of Ding Youcheng and learned that the mansions, rudders, altars, and halls of the three sects were named after the cities under their jurisdiction.
The city managed by Yulongtang is also known as Yulong City.
"In that case, thank you Brother Ding for your kindness."
The training conditions in Yulongtang were better, so Chen Yang naturally did not refuse.
And he also knew that Ding Youcheng was willing to help introduce him to Yulong Hall because he saved Ding Shuya. Ding Youcheng was returning the favor.
Chen Yang asked again: "By the way, Brother Ding, can you tell me some information about the three sects?"
Ding Youcheng said: "The three sects divide the area of the northern continent except the imperial area, namely Wuliang Sect, Ziyun Island, and Jinghua Palace. The area we are in now falls under the jurisdiction of Wuliang Sect."
"Yulongtang is one of the many temples of the Wuliang Sect. For the resources it obtains, Yulongtang must pay tribute to the superior altar master. Then the altar master pays tribute to the helmsman, and the helmsman pays tribute to the palace master. Finally, most of the resources are concentrated
It’s in the hands of the leader of the Infinite Sect.”
Chen Yang asked doubtfully: "Aren't the three sects afraid that the people below will be dissatisfied by doing this?"
"Even if there is dissatisfaction, you must have the strength to resist."
Ding Youcheng seemed to feel that the topic was over, so he changed the subject and said, "Brother Chen, when do you plan to leave for Yulong Hall?"
"We can set off soon, but before that, we have to ask Brother Ding for a favor."
Chen Yang didn't plan to stay in the Northern Continent for a long time. Since Ding Youcheng was taboo, he stopped asking more about the situation of the three sects.
Ding Youcheng said: "If you need help, Brother Chen is welcome."
Chen Yang said: "Brother Ding, does he know where I can get news about other continents?"
Ding Youcheng said: "This matter is simple. The Northern Fire Sect is the best at this. I can take you to see them. You only need to spend some spiritual stones to let them help you find out the news."
Chen Yang asked: "Northern Fire Sect? Is it the Northern Fire Sect under the Black Fire Sect?"
"Exactly."
Ding Youcheng nodded.
Chen Yang was confused: "They are a demon sect, how can they still walk in an upright manner?"
Ding Youcheng smiled and said: "The Northern Fire Sect is not very strong and can only survive in the cracks between the three sects. It does not dare to cause trouble in the Northern Continent. Although they also do some shameful things, in general,
It’s not too showy. And on the surface, they have some small cooperation with the three major sects.”
Chen Yang did not expect that the Northern Fire Sect and the Western Fire Sect, both of which were separate sects, would fare so poorly compared to each other.
After the banquet, Ding Youcheng did not waste any time and immediately took Chen Yang out of Xinfeng City.
Ding Youcheng was able to fly, but in order to take care of Chen Yang, he also rode a fire-plumed horse. The two of them rode quickly, and soon they arrived at a small village.
After entering the village, Ding Youcheng took Chen Yang to find the people of the Northern Fire Sect.
Ding Youcheng waited at the door to avoid suspicion.
Chen Yang entered a small wooden house with people from the Northern Fire Cult.
In the cabin, Chen Yang made his request to the people of the Northern Fire Cult, asking them to help obtain information about the Great Xia Dynasty in the Western Continent.
Of course, the main thing is to see the safety of everyone in Prince Yang's Mansion and Chen Ao.
As if they were used to any request, the people from the Northern Fire Cult did not show any abnormality and promised to give Chen Yang a reply within a month.
Because the information source is in the Western Continent, the fee is relatively expensive, five thousand spirit stones.
This is not a small amount. In the eyes of the Northern Fire Cult people, Chen Yang, who is in the Consecrated Light Realm, cannot produce so many spiritual stones.
However, Chen Yang still had reserves, so he casually took out five thousand spirit stones and handed them to the other party.
The people of the Northern Fire Sect were stunned at first, and then understood that it must be Ding Youcheng who gave Chen Yang the spirit stone.
After the two sides finished explaining themselves, Chen Yang and Ding Youcheng returned to Xinfeng City.
Ding Youcheng helped Chen Yang write a letter of introduction to Yulongtang, settled Ding Shuya in place, and then said goodbye and returned to Xinfengtang.
Originally, Ding Youcheng planned to let Chen Yang stay in Xinfengtang.
However, Xinfengtang had limited resources and sufficient personnel. He was worried that the hall master would not keep Chen Yang, so he recommended Chen Yang to Yulongtang.
Once Ding Youcheng left, only Ding Shuya was left in the house.
There were differences between men and women, so it was inconvenient for Chen Yang to be in the mansion, so he checked into a nearby inn and waited for news from the Northern Fire Cult.
