City guards
Hearing Li Wanlong's words, Yang Qi was obviously stunned. He thought that those practitioners wearing red flame armor were the Divine Guards, but he didn't expect that they were just the City Guards.
You have to know that among these practitioners, the weakest is at the peak of Martial Emperor level, and there are as many as one hundred and eighty of them. He subconsciously thought that those practitioners were the Divine Guards. After all, the weakest among the Divine Guards is at the peak of Martial Emperor.
Li Wanlong, who seemed to have seen the doubt in Yang Qi's heart, could not help but explain, "Although the Red Flame Army is only a city guard, as a city guard under the command of the God's Envoy, its status and position are not comparable to the city guards of other cities. It is only below the God's Guard."
"Many practitioners who failed the Divine Guard assessment will choose to join the City Guards of the nine main cities, because the assessment difficulty of the City Guards is relatively lower." Li Wanlong spoke again.
I see!
Hearing this, Yang Qi immediately understood why the city guards were all above the peak of Martial Emperor, because they were the city guards under the command of God's Envoy!
Although the Divine Guards had a high status, they were also subject to great restrictions, because they represented the Divine Envoys, or even the Gods behind the Divine Envoys, and they could not act at will in many cases. In comparison, the City Guards represented the city and even the city lord, and were subject to much fewer restrictions. At the same time, the difficulty of joining was also low, which naturally attracted many practitioners who could not pass the Divine Guards assessment to join.
"Many children of the Wang family serve in the city guards under the command of the nine divine envoys, and our Li family also has practitioners who have joined the city guards." Li Wanlong said slowly.
It is obvious that even if it is just the City Guard, it is still sought after by many top cultivation forces, who are willing to send practitioners to join it.
Li Wanlong briefly introduced Yang Qi, and then asked the late-stage 9-star martial emperor cultivator headed by the Li family to lead Yang Qi and the children of the Li family who participated in the God's Choice War to the assembly point. As for Li Wanlong and others, because they were not cultivators participating in the God's Choice War, they could not approach the assembly point, otherwise it would be regarded as a provocation to the God's Choice War. Perhaps these city guards could not do anything to a family like the Li family, but the God Guards above the city guards, and even the God's messengers behind them, were not something that any cultivation force in this world could provoke.
The War of God's Choice is supreme. Any cultivation force that dares to have evil intentions towards the War of God's Choice will ultimately have only one end, and that is complete destruction!
Under the leadership of Li Yuan, the head cultivator of the Li family, the cultivators of the Red Flame Army who went to the assembly point and were responsible for guarding the assembly point began to verify the identity information of Yang Qi and others. After the verification was completed, they led Yang Qi and others to an open space at the assembly point to wait.
As time passed, more and more practitioners came to the gathering point, and soon it was time to officially set off. A man in dark purple armor came to the high platform in front of the gathering point.
Li Xu, who was beside Yang Qi, saw the person coming and quickly introduced him to Yang Qi, "This person is from the Divine Guards. The armor he is wearing is the standard armor of the Divine Guards!"
"Armor at the pseudo-origin divine weapon level!" A gleam of brilliance flashed in the depths of Yang Qi's eyes.
The armor he was wearing was of the pseudo-source divine weapon level, and the armor's refining technique was quite exquisite, which was obviously not comparable to the common refining methods in this world. Obviously, these divine guards were treated very well, otherwise they would not be issued with this level of standard armor.
The Divine Guards cultivator glanced at the cultivators present and shouted coldly, "The departure time has come, set off immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
As the Divine Guard cultivator finished speaking, the surrounding Red Flame Army responded immediately, and then, under the leadership of the Divine Guard, they escorted the contestants of the God's Chosen Battle and headed towards Red Flame City.
They were called guards, but how could a hundred or eighty Martial Emperor peak-level cultivators possibly guard tens of thousands of cultivators? However, the God's Choice Battle was supreme, and no one dared to think about it, so even if there was only one Martial Emperor peak-level cultivator guarding, there was no need to worry about the contestants of the God's Choice Battle encountering any danger.
Moreover, behind the team of practitioners participating in the Battle of God's Choice, there are also a large number of practitioners following. These practitioners are all sent by the practicing forces behind the Battle of God's Choice. Their strength is even far superior to that of the City Guards and God's Guards. Among them are practitioners at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor.
These practitioners followed the contestants of the God's Chosen Battle not to protect their safety, but to go to the main city to watch this year's God's Chosen Battle.
The journey that followed was somewhat boring, because the entire journey was led by the Divine Guards to Chiyan City. In addition, Yang Qi was surrounded by Li family practitioners, so he didn't even have the opportunity to contact other practitioners. He could only use the information Li Wanlong had given him to find a way to hurry on his way.
In this way, after several days of traveling, Yang Qi and others finally arrived at Chiyan City. Looking at the towering city in front of them, even the practitioners in this world were greatly shocked, let alone Yang Qi.
"Has the protective formation of this city exceeded the limit of my perception?" Yang Qi looked at the Chiyan City in front of him, and a thought flashed through his mind.
He did not feel the existence of a city defense formation in Chiyan City. Either there was no city defense formation in Chiyan City at all, or the level of the formation was beyond his perception.
Obviously, the latter possibility is more likely. After all, as the main city, it is unlikely that Chiyan City does not have a city defense formation. The only explanation is that the city defense formation is too advanced and powerful, and it is not possible for a cultivator at Yang Qi's level to detect the existence of the formation.
The practitioners who participated in the God's Chosen Battle all had specific resting places, so even if countless contestants from the area under the responsibility of Chiyan City arrived, Chiyan City still did not feel overcrowded.
On the contrary, it was the practitioners like Li Wanlong who followed them that made the inn resources in the city seem a little tight. After all, these practitioners gathered together the majority of the practicing forces in the cities under the jurisdiction of the Red Flame Envoy.
In the temporary residence, Yang Qi did not waste any time and started to retreat directly, continuing to digest the gains from the previous battle with the ultimate mysteries, while continuing to perfect the ultimate mysteries.
The ultimate mystery is indeed powerful, but it is not easy to master it completely and perfectly. In order to unleash more power of the ultimate mystery, Yang Qi can only seize the time to better master the ultimate mystery.
But even so, there was not much time left for Yang Qi. A few days passed in a flash, and the Battle of God's Chosen finally truly kicked off. The Battle of God's Chosen truly began from today.
