"Mo Yao? I've heard of him. It is said that before Wei Huangan became a Grand Secretary, he was recognized as the No. 1 Grand Secretary. It was not until Wei Huangan killed a Saint Demon King that the people of Xuemang Ancient Land began to call Wei Huangan the No. 1 Grand Secretary.|However, there is another voice saying that Mo Yao's reputation was no less than Wei Huangan's, and he was ten years older than Wei Huangan, so his strength must be slightly better. Is there any record of the two fighting?" Fang Yun said.
Yun Zhaochen smiled slightly and said, “Others may not know, but two years ago, I saw Mo Yao and Wei Huangan test their swords.”
"Oh? What's the ending?" Fang Yun asked.
"Mo Yao becomes stronger as he grows older, slightly better." Yun Zhaochen replied.
Fang Yun showed an understanding expression and said, "It seems that Grand Secretary Mo Yao still has the ambition to win."
Yun Zhaochen looked into the distance and said, "In this ancient land of Blood Mang, we must fight against the sky, against the bear monster, against other cities, against outsiders, and against our own people. We must not have the heart to not fight. Just like in the Shengyuan Continent, if we lose the heart to win against the monsters, then the human race will be finished."
"Mr. Zhaochen is right. Fighting is one of the driving forces for human progress." Although Fang Yun does not like fighting, he must admit that the desire to win can often inspire people to make progress.
Yun Zhaochen said: "Then it's settled. You and I will go back to Juyun City together, and when the Dragon Clan Hall appears, we will go there together."
"Besides your team and mine, how many teams do our human race in Xuemanggu have?" Fang Yun asked.
"Wei Huangan and Mo Yao's two teams are the strongest, including 70% of the Grand Secretaries in the frontline cities. Each team has about 11 or 12 Grand Secretaries. If classified, they can be said to be first-rate teams. Below them are four to seven teams. Teams like ours can only be considered second-rate. The Grand Secretaries who are preparing to go to the Dragon Clan Hall this time account for about 80% of all Grand Secretaries."
"There are more than sixty grand secretaries in the Xuemang Ancient Land. That means there are still more than a dozen grand secretaries who are not planning to go?" Fang Yun asked.
"The Dragon Hall is full of crises. Even if everything goes well, at least ten grand secretaries will die. It is normal for some people not to go. Once a grand secretary dies, the family of the surviving grand secretary will definitely get greater benefits." Yun Zhaochen smiled coldly, his tone full of disdain.
"Where's the bear monster?"
"The ten major tribes must have recruited soldiers and formed ten teams. The most dangerous of them is the 'Angry Axe Tribe' with the blood of the Saints, and there are four tribes with tenth-generation royal families. The remaining five tribes are not a big threat."
"Ten generations of royal family? Does it mean that ten generations from now, their ancestors are all bear demon kings?" Fang Yun asked.
"Yes, that's what I mean. In the ancient land of Blood Ray, such a demon king is very powerful, mainly because he can resist the power of Blood Ray." Yun Zhaochen said.
Fang Yun nodded. The power of the bloodline passed down from father to son is bound to be purer. The strength is bound to be stronger than that of ordinary demon kings. Although there is no saying of how many generations of demon kings there are in the demon world, the classification of the saint son, the saint clan, the royal clan and the ordinary demon clan has explained everything.
“But…” Yun Zhaochen suddenly looked at Fang Yun.
"Mr. Zhaochen, please feel free to speak up." Fang Yun said.
"Your identity may cause some inconvenience." Yun Zhaochen said, taking out a page of document from the Hanhu Shell and handing it to Fang Yun.
"A great scholar's treasure? Holy blood? One hundred holy pages? One leap over the Dragon Gate? The power of a strike from the Dragon Saint?" Fang Yun's eyes swept over the Holy Temple Wanted Order without reading out all the rewards.
When Fang Yun raised his head, Yun Zhaochen said, "If nothing unexpected happens, in a few days, the reward for the Holy Temple Wanted Order will be increased again. I would not be surprised even if the reward is half a holy garment. This Holy Temple Wanted Order should be the one with the highest reward in the history of the Blood Mang Ancient Land."
"It's a bit too little." Fang Yun said.
Yun Zhaochen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are probably the first person to say this while holding your own wanted order. The reward may be small for you, but for us, it is enough to take the risk. However, many people don't know your identity now and are waiting and watching. Once they have more specific information, they will definitely take corresponding actions, either kill you or ignore you."
“What happens if I reveal my identity?”
"At least 90% of the Grand Secretaries will give up, because once the Saint Academy finds out who killed the Void Saint, they won't take action. But with the tempers of the Eastern Saint and other semi-saints, they will definitely send people to exterminate the murderer's nine clans. However, if someone harbors rebellious intentions, things will be very complicated."
Fang Yun nodded and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhaochen for your reminder. I will be more careful next time. But... the people here already know my identity."
Yun Zhaochen smiled calmly and said, "It's easy. When we return to Juyun City, I will confine everyone in a small town until you leave, and then I will let them out. Without a semi-saint to silence them, I can only use this old method. In fact, whether you agree or not, they will be confined by me. If something really happens to you, any semi-saint's disciple will come to me and blame me for leaking the news. I will never show mercy to me."
"They won't do anything to you, right?" Fang Yun was a little unconvinced.
“Below the saint position, we are all ants. What’s more, this is the Blood Mang Ancient Land that is not favored by all saints. If any semi-saint thinks that the people of the Blood Mang Ancient Land have no meaning of existence and sends his disciples to wipe them out, he will never bear any responsibility.” Yun Zhaochen’s voice was extremely cold, and his tone was full of deep helplessness and a hint of fear.
Fang Yun remained silent. During these days in the Xuemang Ancient Land, everyone here felt insecure deep down.
Suddenly, an invisible shock came.
The two of them and Ping Bu Qing Yun were pushed sideways by a huge force. Fortunately, the force was strong but not fast, and did not cause any harm to the two of them.
The rest of the people on the hillside stumbled here and there, and some accidentally bumped into rocks, causing bleeding heads.
Fang Yun and Yun Zhaochen quickly looked around and soon found the source of the vibration.
The reddish fog covering hundreds of miles was cleared away, and in the sky three hundred miles away, a strange building ruin appeared out of thin air.
Those buildings were incomparably magnificent and tall. A broken pillar was thousands of feet high, collapsed walls were dozens of feet thick, and huge stairs were cracked, with each step more than ten feet high, comparable to the most magnificent city walls of mankind.
The ruins were covered with thick dust, and one could vaguely see a mace nearly a mile long, a broken sword fifty feet long, and a large shield two hundred feet in radius...
This piece of ruins is translucent and covers an area of hundreds of miles. It seems to be a corner of a building complex. The rest of the place is not visible, as if hidden in the depths of time and space.
Fang Yun and Yun Zhaochen were slightly stunned. They both guessed that this should be the ruins of Dragon City, but no one expected that the building would be so huge. If the human building was magnified a hundred times, it would probably look like this.
When they saw the ruins of Longcheng, the two people seemed to be experiencing the feeling of ants looking at humans.
"This should be the ruins of Dragon City. If it is fully revealed, the Dragon Palace will definitely appear." Yun Zhaochen said.
(To be continued.)
