If the Fire God Sect is a powerful sect that can shield him from storms, that would be ideal; if it’s just an unknown small group but has no ties with the Great Tang, that’s fine as well.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
After inquiring from multiple sources, Jiang Feng gained a preliminary understanding of the Fire God Sect.
This sect has a very short history.
Since its inception, it has been less than fifty years.
The sect leader of the Fire God Sect is a legendary figure, who established a stronghold within three years and snatched this land from small countries, creating the Fire God City here.
Various rules have been established within the city.
No other personnel is allowed to form cliques, and fighting is forbidden. Once you enter the Fire God City, you can enjoy the city’s protection.
However, the Fire God City does not shelter criminals, corrupt officials, river robbers, and the like.
This is an iron law.
Nearby small countries send lists of wanted criminals every day, and the Fire God Sect helps keep an eye out for them by posting the notices at the city gates, warning them not to enter the city.
Once discovered, they would face severe punishnt, sotis even execution on the spot.
Sotis the Turkic Empire also sends wanted lists to the Fire God Sect personnel.
This rule made Jiang Feng feel uneasy.
He wondered if the Emperor of the Great Tang and the Divine Sect were to send a wanted order to this place, the Fire God Sect people would treat him the sa way.
All in all, the founder of the Fire God Sect seems to want to make Fire God City a pure land, forbidding the presence of noble families, allowing commoners to live safely and free from the ravages of war.
Jiang Feng did not expect such a person to exist in this world.
He was filled with curiosity about the sect leader of the Fire God Sect, who was able to successfully create Fire God City and prevent even the nearby small countries and the Turkic Empire from daring to encroach, indicating that he had strong backing. Otherwise, a city openly opposing governnt order would have been uprooted by the nearby small countries long ago.
So in the following days, Jiang Feng kept inquiring about the sect leader of the Fire God Sect, and what he heard were all legends about him.
So legends were utterly unbelievable, claiming he was the reincarnation of an immortal with three heads and six arms, making Jiang Feng instantly think of the Six-ard Divine Emperor almost running away overnight.
After so contemplation, Jiang Feng decided to explore the Fire God Sect for himself.
The address of the Fire God Sect is in Fire God City. The imagined grand sect residence, dominating the city, did not appear.
Instead, it was just an eight-courtyard mansion.
In the Great Tang Dragon Capital, this is equivalent to the residence of a noble family, not like a sect’s headquarters at all.
Because the address is in the bustling area of Fire God City, people in the city pass by the Fire God Sect’s entrance as if it were routine, showing neither curiosity nor fear towards the sect headquarters.
The Fire God Sect personnel guarding the door did not restrict the passersby at all, and even civilians set up stalls on the street in front of the gate.
This situation made Jiang Feng feel disoriented, as if he were hallucinating.
He also saw a notice posted at the entrance of the Fire God Sect headquarters, with several postnatal martial artists stopping to look. Jiang Feng approached to see.
He found that the notice content was about recruiting Fire God Sect disciples, requiring upper-three-grade strength, with the task of guarding the city gate to prevent deceitful villains from entering and stirring up trouble.
Jiang Feng couldn’t help but rub his chin.
Nightfall.
Jiang Feng sneaked into the Fire God Sect headquarters; the eight-courtyard mansion was neither large nor small, fully within the coverage of Jiang Feng’s fourth-layer Qi Condensation spiritual sense.
He wandered around the city for several days.
He saw many postnatal martial artists, and among them, a few innate powerhouses, who were mostly mbers of the Fire God Sect.
Jiang Feng was not sure if there were any cultivators within the Fire God Sect, but he considered it very likely; otherwise, how could Fire God City continue to exist?
Unfortunately, after wandering around, Jiang Feng found no trace of other cultivators. Rumor has it that the sect leader of the Fire God Sect appears like a divine dragon, seen at its head but not its tail; he likely wasn’t in the sect.
After making a circuit, Jiang Feng only felt that the Fire God Sect’s system was very efficient, with clear division of labor among departnts. There was no curfew in Fire God City at night, and sect personnel patrolled the city’s streets in shifts around the clock.
Soone reported or handled city events daily.
These people maintained the normal functioning of Fire God City.
"An innate powerhouse guarding, what’s inside?"
Jiang Feng ca to the backyard and saw a small courtyard, guarded outside by two innate powerhouses.
He made another circle.
This was an extrely rare sight.
Jiang Feng was filled with interest in the small courtyard.
He slipped in silently.
Inside, he discovered rows of bookshelves.
To his great joy, the small courtyard contained volus of cultivation and martial arts.
Jiang Feng was overjoyed and began to search carefully.
The next day.
The sound of roosters crowing.
Sunlight poured into the small courtyard.
"I overthought and mistook this for the Imperial City Academy."
After searching the small courtyard all night, Jiang Feng felt disappointed, as the cultivation books were all common cultivation and martial arts, which were of no use to him as a fourth-layer Qi Condensation cultivator.
He had originally hoped to find so cultivation-related books to study, even if they were just so cultivation common sense or interesting anecdotes, but he found nothing.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Fire God Sect disciples hadn’t discovered him, Jiang Feng quietly slipped away.
"Perhaps this really is a place for to settle down."
Jiang Feng sighed.
Although he didn’t know who the sect leader of the Fire God Sect was, the system implented by the leader was very suitable for him to live quietly.
