Half a day later, Zhan Chen set foot on the road to Zhongyu City. The road to Zhongyu City was far away, tens of thousands of kilometers long, and he passed thirteen giant cities on the way.
There is no difficulty in saying this in the morning.
On the road, in the mountains and rivers, pedestrians on the road will suddenly feel a strong wind passing by, as if something has just passed by them. However, if they look closely, they will not find anything, and that
It is the figure of Zhan Chen galloping.
Traveling up to a thousand meters in an instant, this is the speed of the powerful martial saints. Ordinary warriors cannot catch their traces with just the naked eye.
Thousands of miles away, it seemed that it only lasted in the day and night. Zhan Chen rushed all the way to the central part of the neutral zone, including stopping for rest. It only took him three days to reach the famous Zhongyu City.
Zhongyu City is extremely majestic and majestic. From a distance, it looks like a crisscrossing mountain range, standing proudly among the plains and green waters. Its size is more than three times that of Hongxi City. The city wall is more than 300 meters high. The population of the city alone is
The number reaches 100 million.
Not only that, its influence also radiates to the surrounding areas. Within a thousand miles around it, it belongs to its jurisdiction. There are more than twenty medium-sized cities built. These cities hold Zhongyu City in the center like stars over the moon.
.
Along the way, Zhan Chen saw thousands of miles of fertile fields, beautiful mountains and rivers, connected fields, green water, prosperous villages and towns, and martial arts practice. Whether it was the martial arts hall in the city or the fields, the sound of humming and haha was endless.
Here, Martial Lords and Martial Kings can be seen everywhere, and powerful Martial Emperors appear from time to time. Only the lofty Martial Saint can win a little respect from everyone.
Zhan Chen walked all the way to the city gate and found that the guards there also asked for the so-called city entry fee from people entering the city, and each person was charged a hundred high-grade Yuan stones.
After witnessing this scene, he secretly lamented: One hundred high-grade Yuan stones are equivalent to one top-grade Yuan stone. If a low-level warrior came here, he might not even be able to pay the entrance fee.
Just as he was thinking that it was his turn, Zhan Chen was about to get the Yuan Stone from the Qiankun Bag, but he saw the guard chief saluting him respectfully and said: Senior, you don't have to pay the city fee.
Oh Zhanchen was surprised for a while. Then he heard the other party explain: These are the rules of our entire neutral zone. As long as the strong martial saints reveal their identities, they can freely enter and leave the giant cities in the neutral zone without paying city entry fees.
So that's it. Zhan Chen suddenly realized that he didn't expect that Wusheng would enjoy such a special encounter. It seems that wherever he goes, strong people can get enough respect from people.
After entering the city gate, you will see a wide road extending into the distance, seemingly endless. Although there are many people in the streets, it does not seem crowded.
Zhan Chen also happily joined this crowd, watching horses and flowers along the way and seeing all the prosperity of the city.
Suddenly, a high-pitched and exciting animal cry came from the direction of the city gate, causing passers-by to stop and look back.
I saw a tall carriage pulled by four fierce shadow horses roaring from a distance, blowing a strong gust of wind, showing off very much.
In the morning of Zhan, I heard a pair of pedestrians talking on the roadside. One of them said sourly: This carriage is really luxurious. The son of a certain family is out on a cruise.
Another advised: Just save your worries and practice hard. There are big families everywhere in Zhongyu City. As long as we can break through to the Martial Saint realm, we can also make a name for ourselves.
Alas, becoming a Martial Saint is not easy. There are only a few hundred powerful Martial Saints in the entire Zhongyu City.
It is possible as long as we work hard. There are endless opportunities here in Zhongyu City, and it is much easier to become a saint-level powerhouse than in other places.
The two were talking intensely, but Zhan Chen listened to their conversation and began to be secretly surprised: I didn't expect that there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in this Zhongyu City. There were hundreds of saint-level experts alone.
It seems I have to proceed with caution
Let's get down to business now. So Zhan Chen went to the streets and alleys and began to inquire about the so-called organization that the old man in Hongxi City told him about that could buy any information.
However, no one who was asked about it knew anything about it. At the end of the day, Zhan Chen felt depressed and went to a restaurant to order some food and drinks.
In the restaurant, people were coming and going, and interesting conversations continued. Zhan Chen also heard a lot of news about Zhongyu City, and his mood began to improve.
Suddenly, the conversation between the two people at the next table aroused his strong interest.
Only one person asked: Hey, have you heard about the grand finale of this auction, another masterpiece by Master Li Niansheng?
Another person said in surprise: Oh, Li Niansheng is an eighth-grade swordsmith. He is known as the number one swordsmith in Zhongyu City. The holy weapons he forges are all top-notch. It is said that he only forges one every three years.
Holy weapons, and every holy weapon is a top quality, has always been in short supply, and unexpectedly it appeared at the auction again.
Hehe, but there is one thing you won't think of.
what happened
This time, Master Li Niansheng has an opponent
Who is the opponent?
He is Li Niansheng’s junior brother Shen Hongmo
Shen Hongmo has never heard of it, is he also an eighth-level swordsmith?
Yes, this matter started more than five hundred years ago. Li Niansheng and Shen Hongmo were originally a pair of very close brothers. They studied under Hong Gang, the most famous eighth-grade swordsmith at the time. Later, Hong Gang
He just left our Beihai continent and has not been heard from since.
After Hong Gang left, the two brothers embarked on different paths. Li Niansheng inherited his master Hong Gang's sword-making style and took it to a higher level. The holy weapons he forged were upright and impressive.
On the other hand, Shen Hongmo took a different approach and liked to forge some sinister holy weapons and even hidden weapons, and therefore embarked on the path of evil.
The two have very different outlooks on life, value orientations, and aesthetic styles, so it was only a matter of time before they parted ways.
Finally one day, the conflict broke out. Each of them was dissatisfied with the other's sword-making skills, so they decided to set up a ring in the Central City and compete with each other using the weapons they forged.
On that day, in order to watch this duel, the streets of Zhongyu City were packed with people. The two men each held a holy weapon and fought a battle. The battle was really dark. The battle lasted for three days and three nights, and the weapons of the two people also collided.
I don’t know tens of thousands of times.
In the end, Master Li Niansheng made a brilliant move and cut off the sword forged by Shen Hongmo in one fell swoop. From then on, Shen Hongmo disappeared. It is said that he went into seclusion to practice somewhere, until today, five hundred years later, he made a comeback
, and also took the holy weapons he refined to the Zhongyu Auction House for auction. Isn't this a challenge to Master Li Niansheng or something?
I see. I think this pair of brothers may have another fight.
Yes, there will be another good show to watch then.
Hearing this, Zhan Chen stood up from his seat, walked to their wine table, and placed several high-grade Yuan stones on the table.
The two of them were stunned, and looked at Zhan Chen in confusion. They asked cautiously: Senior, do you have anything to do with us?
Zhan Chen smiled and replied: It's nothing, I just want to treat you two to a drink, and the food and wine will be on my head.
After saying that, he found a place to sit down as usual, making the two people even more confused.
Zhan Chen came straight to the point and asked: You two, is the Li Niansheng you are talking about an eighth-grade swordsmith?
Yes, senior, you are a foreigner, right? Senior Li is famous in our Zhongyu City, and his reputation spreads far and wide. There is an endless stream of martial saints and strong men who come to him every day to seek swords.
Then may I ask where Master Li Niansheng lives?
You want him to forge a sword
good.
Senior, I advise you not to bother with this.
why
Because it takes an average of three years for a master to produce a sword, and those who seek swords are turned away.
So what are the conditions for buying his sword?
That's not the case. Some of the swords he forged were given to friends, and some were auctioned at the Zhongyu Auction House. On average, each sword could fetch a high price of several million yuan stones.
Zhan Chen thought for a while and said: Even so, I still want to know where the master lives.
Well, he lives in the Baiyan Mountains northwest of Zhongyu City. You can find out when you go there and ask.
Thank you both. I'll take my leave.
After Zhan Chen said this, he stood up and walked quickly outside.
At this time, he was very excited. He was short of a powerful holy weapon. The Shark Hunting Sword was indeed powerful, but compared to the holy weapon, it was not good enough. The characteristic of the broken blade was indeed unfavorable among the imperial soldiers, but it was not effective at all.
Just kill the holy soldiers.
Inquiring about the news about Mei'er, mother and son, and Ziru has not yet been settled. It seems that we need to consider it in the long term. I will do the things that need to be done first. Maybe there will be a turn for the better. Thinking like this, Zhan Chen unknowingly
Zhong left Zhongyu City.
He took out the map and compared it carefully. As expected, the Baiyan Mountains were located about three thousand miles northwest of Zhongyu City, so he headed in that direction. After trekking through mountains and rivers, he soon reached his destination.
The Baiyan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles and are composed of hundreds of peaks. It is rich in fire resources and is an excellent place for refining weapons and swords. There is a small town at the foot of the mountain called Baiyan Town, where many famous people live.
A swordsmith, and the royal weapon produced in Baiyan Town is also the most famous in the entire neutral region.
Zhan Chen first entered Baiyan Town and asked a random swordsmith. He learned that Master Li Niansheng lived deep in the Baiyan Volcano, the highest mountain in the Baiyan Mountains, and there was not only Li Niansheng there.
A master swordsmith, and many famous swordsmiths are also there. They are all famous craftsmen who can forge holy weapons.
After bidding farewell to the swordsmith, Zhan Chen hurriedly hit the road again, heading towards Shanyan Volcano. Along the way, he was still thinking about a question, that is, how could he get Li Niansheng to forge a sword for him?
