Although he could use flying martial arts to travel faster, Yang Qi did not do so. He was not in a hurry. This time he came to Xuantian Continent, more to see this world of cultivation that gave birth to powerful Martial Emperors.
You should know that in the entire star field controlled by the Sky Palace, there are only a few cultivation worlds that have given birth to Martial Emperor-level powerhouses. The Sky Palace itself is not in the cultivation world, so it is a special case!
The most direct manifestation of the prosperity of martial arts is the number of geniuses and strong people. Unlike Earth, although there have been strong martial emperors like Wu Shi Great Emperor and martial kings like Yang Qi and Zhang Sanfeng, the cultivation world on Earth itself is very weak. This situation is just an exception in the cultivation civilization. The real cultivation civilization develops gradually, and there is rarely such a leapfrog development. The development model similar to that of Zichen Continent is the normal situation in the cultivation world.
As Yang Qi hurried on his way, he headed towards Wuji City. Because this area was controlled by Wuji Palace, practitioners often talked about Wuji Palace. As the practitioners talked about it, Yang Qi also got to know more about Wuji Palace. As the strongest practice force in Xuantian Continent, Wuji Palace had a good reputation.
Although the ancestor of the Jiang family who entered the Martial Emperor realm was born in the Wuji Palace, the opportunities he left behind benefited the practitioners of the entire Xuantian Continent. It was also because of this that the Xuantian Continent was able to develop rapidly, otherwise only the Wuji Palace would have grown and developed.
Yang Qi looked at the majestic ancient city in front of him and muttered to himself, "Yiyang City, this place is already the core area of Wuji Palace. Two cities ahead is Wuji City."
He had been in Xuantian Continent for some time. Although he had not traveled on purpose, he was not too far away from Wuji City, the most famous city in the territory of Wuji Palace.
Yiyang City is a relatively large city, much more prosperous than the Gaya City that Yang Qi had seen before. Many of the practitioners coming and going are Martial Sect members and Martial Lords, and practitioners at the Martial Master level are very rare, which shows how prosperous it is.
"The city lord returns to the city, and all the idlers stay out of the way."
Just as Yang Qi was walking through the streets, preparing to find an inn to stay temporarily, a team of armored soldiers on the street not far away quickly separated the practitioners on both sides, revealing a wide road.
"This city lord is quite impressive." Yang Qi couldn't help but frowned slightly when he saw this scene.
During this period of time, he had gotten to know Xuantian Continent a little. The practitioners of Wuji Palace were not the kind of people who acted arrogantly, but it was the first time he heard of such a big fuss about the city lord returning to the city.
"From your looks, you are not a cultivator from the vicinity of Yi Yang City, right?" Just a moment after Yang Qi finished speaking, an abrupt voice came to his ears. It turned out that a slightly bloated middle-aged man not far away was looking at him.
Yang Qi was startled, but still asked, "I am indeed not a cultivator near Yiyang City. Is there any other reason for this?"
Such a high-profile and grand return-to-city ceremony would be strange to him, an outsider, or even the local practitioners in Yiyang City.
"No wonder you didn't know." The middle-aged man chuckled and continued, "It's not uncommon for the city lord to return to the city in such a grand manner in Yiyang City. In fact, the city lord was forced to return to the city in such a grand manner."
"Out of helplessness?"
Yang Qi was stunned and looked at the middle-aged man in disbelief.
Yi Yang City is not small. A cultivator who can become the City Lord of Yi Yang City is at least a high-level Martial Honored One, or even a cultivator at the peak of Martial Honored One. Moreover, it is not far from Wuji Palace. Why would a dignified City Lord be so helpless
"The Lord of Yi Yang City has been in office for several years and has been the target of more than ten assassination attempts. Each assassination attempt was more fierce than the last. Once, even the formation of the City Lord's Mansion was almost breached." The middle-aged man said with emotion.
hiss~
Hearing this, Yang Qi couldn't help but take a breath.
Yi Yang City is a large city, and the protective formation of the City Lord's Mansion is definitely very powerful. I'm afraid that even an ordinary Martial King may not be able to break it directly. Even such a large formation was almost broken. The level of assassination against the City Lord is probably infinitely close to the Martial King level!
Although there are many more Martial King Realm people in Xuantian Continent than in Zichen Continent, Martial King Realm people still rarely directly interfere in the management of the continent. After all, their lifespans are too long, and they often go into seclusion for several years or even decades, which makes them not suitable for managing a city at all!
In the case of a Martial King realm where people generally do not show up, a city lord with only the strength of a high-level Martial Honored will naturally be in great danger when encountering an assassination attempt that can unleash power close to that of a Martial King. It is understandable that for his own safety, he would clear the area in advance to ensure safety.
“Don’t you think Wuji Palace will do anything about it?” Yang Qi frowned.
Yi Yang City is a big city within the territory controlled by Wuji Palace. It stands to reason that Wuji Palace would not ignore the assassination of its lord. With the background of Wuji Palace, it would be an easy task for it to resolve the assassination.
The middle-aged man glanced at Yang Qi and chuckled, "The power controlled by the Lord of Yiyang City can contend with the Martial King Realm for a short period of time. As long as the real Martial King Realm does not take action, the Wuji Palace will not intervene. If you can't even survive this crisis, what qualifications do you have to control Yiyang City?"
Hearing this, Yang Qi was stunned at first, then nodded slightly. All cultivation forces have the task of training disciples, such as serving as a city lord, which is actually a kind of training. If a disciple is clearly capable of dealing with it during the training, but still has to rely on the sect, even if the sect really takes action, the impression of this disciple will be greatly reduced, and he will definitely not be able to get any opportunities or treasures in the future.
After all, practitioners are not only concerned with talent and potential. If a practitioner is timid and cowardly, can he still expect the sect to train him at all costs
"This city lord is really miserable." Yang Qi sighed lightly.
Obviously, the people who assassinated the city lord also knew something, otherwise they would have just sent out a warrior king to assassinate him. However, although the power controlled by the city lord was strong enough to temporarily compete with the warrior king, in this situation of day and night defense, one carelessness could cost one's life. After all, a thief can only steal for a thousand days, but he can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days!
Hearing this, the middle-aged man also said with emotion, "Who said it wasn't true?"
Because the city lord was assassinated, Yi Yang City would occasionally be affected. This was not a good thing for the practitioners living in Yi Yang City. However, even the city lord could not solve this kind of thing, let alone other practitioners.
Boom~Boom~
In the distance of the street, there were muffled footsteps, and then, a huge figure walked over quickly. It was a Martial Honor Realm monster. There was a magnificent sedan on the monster's back, which should be the location of the unlucky city lord. (To be continued)
