Chapter 453: Chapter 14 The Second Young Master of Wucheng
Wucheng is a particularly large city, roughly five tis the size of Red Fire City, with a population of about 30 million. Because Wucheng is the city that serves as a gateway between East County Divine Land and the Desert Domain, it is very bustling. Lin Feng and Ziyuan arrived in Wucheng.
Outside Wucheng, a dense fog lingered.
But the entire city of Wucheng was enveloped by an Array, so there was no fog covering the city.
Inside Wucheng, powers were complex and intertwined, and it was said that there was a saying of one sect, three clans, and eighteen factions.
This sect was called Heavenly Thunder Sect, an Ancient Sect whose strength was exceptionally formidable.
The three clans were “Nalan, Helian, Gongsun” clans.
Although these three clans could not be considered among the “Ancient Forces,” their significance was not to be underestimated given that they had Yin Yang Realm Experts presiding over them.
The eighteen factions were relatively weaker; only a few of the top-ranked factions had “Yin Yang Realm Experts” in residence.
The rest of the factions, even if their strongest mbers were only at the Martial King Realm in cultivation.
…
Of course, Lin Feng had no plans to understand the major forces of Wucheng.
He planned to rest in Wucheng for two to three days before deciding on his future.
“Young Master, there’s a bookshop over there that must sell an introduction to the major forces of the Desert Domain. Let’s take a look,” Ziyuan said.
“Mm.”
Lin Feng nodded and entered the bookshop with Ziyuan.
Inside the bookshop were about a dozen custors. So were quietly reading books, while others were leisurely browsing.
Lin Feng discovered that this bookshop even sold so Martial Arts Secret Manuals, and even so Spirit Array Skill, Alchemy Skill; of course, these were so of the simpler Spirit Array Skills and Alchemy Skills, but this was already quite extraordinary.
“What kind of book does this young master want?” the shopkeeper asked with a smile.
“I want books that introduce the major forces of the Desert Domain,” Lin Feng said.
“This Desert Domain Record records it very detailedly,” the shopkeeper took out a book and handed it to Lin Feng.
“How much?” Lin Feng asked.
“Thirty Gold Coins!” the boss said.
Lin Feng grimaced. Thirty Gold Coins for a book was quite a rip-off, but he couldn’t be bothered to haggle over this; he paid the money and sat down with Ziyuan at a table not far away to look through the contents recorded in the book.
East County Divine Land is one of the most impoverished among the Three Thousand States, with even no Great Force reaching the “Ancient Force” level.
It is known that the division of powers among the Three Thousand States is extrely strict: Ancient Forces, Ancient Forces, Ancient Desolate Forces, and Ancient Sacred Lands (Ancient Dynasties).
Besides these forces, there are also Martial Soul, Alchemist Guild, and Spirit Array Master Guild, which are very powerful, but because these three major forces are “neutral” forces, they almost never participate in the struggles for supremacy in the Heavenly Martial Continent’s Three Thousand States, so few ntion these three major forces.
…
There are also many powers in the Desert Domain, among which are the strongest Four Great Forces, which are “Star Cloud Pavilion, All Laws Sect, Divine Sword Manor, Azure Cloud Sect.”
These Four Great Forces have reached the “Ancient Force” level and have Great Ability Level Experts in residence.
Among these Four Great Forces, Star Cloud Pavilion, All Laws Sect, and Divine Sword Manor are still strong today, but Azure Cloud Sect has already fallen into decline. It is said to be because the Sect Secret Technique of Azure Cloud Sect, “Heavenly Repair Skill,” was lost, leading to the gradual weakening of this sect.
The Heavenly Repair Skill was a secret technique that once shook the Three Thousand States, a move so powerful it crushed countless experts in the States and was hailed as defying the heavens.
But alas, such a formidable secret technique has beco a legendary singularity, no longer to be seen.
…
“Azure Cloud Sect.” Lin Feng’s eyebrows slightly raised.
Suddenly, he rembered a rumor—two thousand years ago, the location of what is now Azure Cloud City was nothing but a vast wilderness forest. Back then, an Outer Disciple from a Great Sect arrived in True Martial Country, and in an attempt to woo the disciple, the royal family wanted to make the Outer Sect Disciple the City Lord of Jialan City. However, the disciple declined the coveted position that many dread of.
Instead, he chose the location that is now Azure Cloud City, where he established a town and nad it after the words “Azure Cloud.”
Rumor had it that “Azure Cloud” was the na of the Great Sect to which the disciple once belonged.
That founder of Azure Cloud Town remained devoted to his sect until his death.
He never married, leaving no descendants, and no one knew why he had left his sect in his early years, but clearly, sothing unknown had happened.
“Could it be that the disciple who founded Azure Cloud Town was from the ‘Azure Cloud Sect’ of the Desert Domain? There is indeed such a possibility.”
Lin Feng pondered quietly.
Aside from the Four Great Ancient Forces, there were also Ten Great Ancient Forces, including sects, ancient teachings, and families with long histories. Although they might not compare to the heritage of the much older Four Great Ancient Forces, these Ancient Forces were also filled with outstanding experts.
“Let’s go eat sothing,” Lin Feng said.
Ziyuan obediently nodded, and she left the bookstore with Lin Feng. They soon found a restaurant nearby and made their way to the second floor. They chose a seat by the window, ordered so food, and they started to eat as soon as the dishes arrived.
Thump thump thump thump…
Just then, a group of people ca upstairs. Leading them was a young master. This young master was tall and thin, with a slightly unsteady stride and a pale face, clearly soone who had indulged excessively.
“Young Master, look over there,” a servant beside the young master suddenly pointed at Ziyuan.
The young master’s eyes lit up and he said, “Is that a Snake Woman? I’ve heard Snake Won are enchanting, capable of myriad charms in bed.”
The young master waved his hand and quickly approached.
“My na is Nalan Kang, may I know how to address you, brother?” This young master ca up to Lin Feng’s table and asked, but his eyes were fixed tightly on Ziyuan, filled with lust, which greatly displeased Lin Feng.
“Are you done eating? If so, let’s go,” Lin Feng said, placing a Gold Coin on the table before looking at Ziyuan.
Ziyuan nodded and got up to leave with Lin Feng.
Nalan Kang’s face darkened slightly as he said, “What? Didn’t you hear asking you a question?”
Lin Feng replied indifferently, “We et as strangers, a re fleeting connection, so why bother with nas?”
Nalan Kang smiled and said, “That may not be the case; perhaps you and I will beco familiar with each other.”
“Ha ha ha ha, Nalan Kang, stop that act; don’t pretend to be friendly. Who in Wucheng doesn’t know your true nature? You’re just eyeing the pretty lady next to this gentleman,” a disdainful laugh ca through. The next mont, a young man in white descended from the third floor. This young man, who was much more pleasing to the eye than Nalan Kang, was very handso and tall, with a smile on his face that felt like a breath of spring, easily endearing himself to people.
Seeing this man, Nalan Kang’s face subtly darkened as he said in a neither hot nor cold tone, “Helian Ze, don’t idealize yourself too highly. I, Nalan Kang, like won, and I acquire them with legitimate ans, unlike you who, tsk tsk, I’ve heard that in Wucheng, there’s soone who dare to covet his own father’s concubine. Unfortunately for him, he was discovered before succeeding and was confined for a year before he was released. Wonder who that could be?”
“You…” Helian Ze’s face darkened considerably.
Lin Feng could tell, neither Nalan Kang nor Helian Ze were good news.
