The small town in front of him was still some distance away from the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range, but it was already so chaotic. Yang Qi secretly became more alert.
Here, no status or position is as real as one's own strength. For these practitioners who often walk between life and death, unless one is stronger than them, no matter how big the background is, it is useless. Xuantian Jianzun is strong enough and has a big background, but one of his eight disciples died outside!
"Have you heard? The two people who just fought are from the Great Chu Empire. It is said that they have had a grudge against each other for a long time. I didn't expect to meet here."
"But the man surnamed Wang is really powerful. His cultivation is obviously not as good as Zhang's, but he still managed to kill him."
"What's so strange about this? Some time ago, I saw someone kill an enemy above his level."
Inside the restaurant, practitioners were discussing the fight that had just happened. It seemed that they were already accustomed to such fights, and the dead practitioners were merely a topic of conversation in their spare time.
"Hey, your news is already outdated."
At this moment, a laugh suddenly came from the restaurant, and the speaker was a gray-clothed old man with a four-star martial arts master.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the old man, even Yang Qi. He was very curious about what news the old man had.
"Shopkeeper, good wine!" a burly man said cheerfully. In this chaotic place of the Yuan Dynasty, being well-informed undoubtedly gives one a considerable advantage.
"I got the news that the Sixth Prince will go to Blood Rock City tomorrow." The old man got the wine and told the news directly without keeping anyone in suspense.
"Sixth Prince?"
"I heard that he has reached the high level of martial arts cultivation."
"He is the prince who has the greatest chance of inheriting the throne."
After hearing the old man's words, the practitioners present were talking about it. These practitioners often went to the Yuan Dynasty, so they naturally knew who the sixth prince the old man was talking about.
Sixth Prince
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows. He didn't care about this prince, but the Blood Rock City mentioned by the old man was the only place he had to pass on his way to the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range this time.
There are two cities in the Yuan Dynasty that have martial masters in charge, the first is the capital, and the second is Blood Rock City. Blood Rock City is closest to the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, and the origin of the name of Blood Rock City is because the walls of Blood Rock City were stained red with blood, becoming blood rocks, hence the name.
In terms of scale, Xueyan City is larger than the county towns of the Great Chu Empire. It is close to the provincial capital and is guarded by powerful martial arts masters because it is the most important trading place of the Yuan Dynasty.
As they continued along the official road, more and more practitioners came and went. When Yang Qi saw the huge blood-colored city, he discovered that a large number of practitioners had gathered outside the Blood Rock City. These practitioners lined up and entered the city from both sides of the city gate.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that there was a large empty space in the middle of the official road, but no one was passing through, Yang Qi couldn't help but frown. There were countless practitioners coming and going in Xueyan City. If they lined up like this, they would probably have to wait until dark to enter the city.
"Brother, what happened?" Yang Qi asked the practitioner in front of him.
"Not yet the Sixth Prince." The cultivator said with a wry smile.
"Isn't the Sixth Prince due to arrive tomorrow?"
Yang Qi was stunned. A few hours ago, he received news at the restaurant that the Sixth Prince would not arrive here until tomorrow.
"The Sixth Prince arrived early, so the middle was vacated for the Sixth Prince to pass through. Other practitioners can only enter the city from both sides."
Hearing the words of the cultivator, Yang Qi sighed. He originally thought that he could get to Xueyan City earlier, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. He was afraid that it would take a lot of time to enter the city.
Although the practitioners had some complaints, with the Martial Master in charge of Blood Rock City, ordinary practitioners dared not resist and could only consider themselves unlucky. Yang Qi could only line up at the back of the team. About an incense stick later, a huge cloud of dust swept in from a distance, followed by dozens of Swift Wind Wolves running towards Blood Rock City.
The leader was a cultivator dressed in gorgeous clothes. His cultivation had reached the level of Seven-Star Martial Master. The aura on his body was even stronger than that of Sun Hong. This person was the Sixth Prince of the Yuan Dynasty.
The team sped along and soon entered the Blood Rock City. After a while, the Blood Rock City was opened and the practitioners could finally enter the city normally.
"Fortunately we arrived quickly, otherwise it would have been really dark." Looking at the bloody city wall, Yang Qi sighed lightly and immediately entered the city.
Although the public security in Xueyan City is not as good as that in the Imperial Capital, it is still a relatively safe place in the Yuan Dynasty. There are even many first-class and even super-powerful people stationed here. Even the Treasure Pavilion has specially set up a branch here.
Therefore, there are many practitioners trading in Blood Rock City. Practitioners can be seen everywhere, setting up stalls to sell their harvests from the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range. There are all kinds of rare treasures from heaven and earth, and the prices are relatively cheap.
The sky gradually darkened. Although it had little impact on Wu Zong, Yang Qi had no intention of setting out for the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range immediately. Instead, he chose to stay in the city and planned to rest for a night before heading to the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range.
Yang Qi chose an ordinary inn to stay in, set up a spirit gathering formation, and began to practice.
"Boom~"
When Yang Qi was practicing, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance, waking him up from his practice.
"What happened?"
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, and in a flash, he appeared on the roof of the inn. At this time, there were already many practitioners on the surrounding roofs, all of whom came out to check because of the sudden loud noise.
Xueyan City is relatively safe, and it is unlikely for such a loud noise to erupt. After all, there is a Martial Master in charge here, and the prince of the Yuan Dynasty just arrived yesterday. If practitioners were fighting at this time, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the Yuan Dynasty!
"It's in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion!"
Not far away, a practitioner said in a deep voice.
"City Lord's Mansion?" Yang Qi's face changed. City Lord's Mansion, isn't that where Martial Master sits? A fight broke out in the place where Martial Master sits, and after the Sixth Prince arrived
"Boom~"
While he was thinking, there was another loud noise coming from the distance. Previously, because of the obstruction of the formation and Yang Qi was practicing, he could not feel it clearly. But this time, he could clearly feel that the strength of the two parties in the fight definitely surpassed the level of Wuzong.
“It’s a fight between two powerful martial masters. Could it be…” A gleam of light flashed in Yang Qi’s eyes.
"It seems that the Sixth Prince is not very popular." A cultivator chuckled in the distance.
Most of the practitioners who came here were outsiders, and naturally they didn't care much about the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, many practitioners were angry this afternoon and gave way to the Sixth Prince. Now that they saw someone assassinating the Sixth Prince, they were naturally happy to watch the fun.
“Boom~Boom~”
The sound of fighting became farther and farther away, and the two people fighting soon left Blood Rock City and disappeared. Without fighting, everyone had no intention of staying any longer, and returned to their residences.
The next morning, the news of the assassination of the Sixth Prince spread throughout the entire Blood Rock City, so that when Yang Qi left the city, the city guards were obviously more strict than yesterday. (To be continued)
