Faced with Zhu Feng's request, Kong Ming did not express his position immediately, but said calmly: "Kong doesn't know much about the old city lord Zhu. However, this wilderness is not a peaceful land. If the old city lord Zhu goes out, If you go through experience and disappear for several years, the chance of survival is very slim. And even so, do you still want to ask Kong to find Lord Zhu?"
Zhu Feng said respectfully: "The reason why my father went out was to help the younger generation find the treasure that can cleanse the muscles and cut the marrow. That's why he was in danger and did not return. For the great kindness of father's love, the younger generation can't repay it even if he is broken into pieces. If the senior is willing to help, As long as my father is still alive, there will definitely be a chance to survive, and this is the only chance, and the younger generation must not miss it!"
At this time, Bai Xingtian also added: "Senior, although the old city lord Zhu is missing, his death has not been confirmed. As long as senior is willing to help, the old city lord will definitely have a chance of survival, and then there is hope to revive the Zhu family. ”
As Bai Xingtian said this, he took out a soul bead from his arms.
Generally speaking, cultivators who have reached a certain level of cultivation can use a fragment of their soul to refine items such as soul lamps and soul beads. As long as the body dies, items such as soul lamps and soul beads will also follow. annihilation, so that it can be used to confirm life and death.
I wish the old city master is the city lord of Araki City, and it is normal for the soul beads to stay in Araki City. However, the current soul bead seems quite strange. If Old City Lord Zhu Zhu has really fallen, then this soul bead should be broken into pieces. However, the soul bead that Bai Xingtian took out was intact.
But I wish the old city lord was safe and sound, but I couldn't say that, because the soul bead now looked dim, as if the soul refined in the soul bead no longer existed.
Kong Ming has never heard of this situation. He can only say that if Old City Lord Zhu Zhu has not died, he must be in an extremely weird situation, which makes it impossible for the Soul Pearl to confirm his life or death.
But no matter what, with the existence of this soul bead, Kong Ming only needs to scan with his spiritual consciousness to write down the aura of Zhu Lao City Lord, so that when he meets Zhu Lao City Lord in the future, he will not be unfamiliar with each other.
Zhu Feng and Bai Xingtian both know how powerful Kong Ming is, and what a rare opportunity it is to have the opportunity to get a promise from Kong Ming? But at this moment, their wishes are highly unanimous, that is, they hope that Kong Ming can take action to find the old city master Zhu.
Putting aside Bai Xingtian's loyalty, just look at Zhu Feng's performance. He is not only calm and wise, but also has a pure nature. He is definitely a talent that can be made. Kong Ming's first impression of him can be said to be quite good. .
At that moment, Kong Ming nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he took the soul bead that Bai Xingtian took out into his hand, nodded to Zhu Feng, and said: "Okay, since Kong promised to satisfy your request, naturally I can't say anything. But I don’t believe it. This soul bead will be kept by Kong for the time being. If we are really destined to find Old City Master Zhu, Kong will definitely keep him safe and sound!"
After receiving Kong Ming's promise, Zhu Feng and Bai Xingtian were overjoyed and hurriedly gave Kong Ming a big gift again.
Next, Kong Ming naturally wanted to learn more about Araki City and the Lord Zhu Lao.
In the Great Wilderness Territory, due to millions of years of development, many gathering places for cultivators have been formed, and this is how the unique city-state system of the Great Wilderness Territory came into being.
The city-state system is similar to the star domain forces in the realm. They have always been ranked based on the strength of the city lord. Although God King Ji exists occasionally comes to the wilderness to experience, they all have their own divine kingdom power. It is impossible to have time to establish a city-state in the wilderness. At most, it can secretly support a few city-state forces to show its presence in the wilderness.
Therefore, the highest-level city-states in the Great Wasteland, that is, large city-states managed by god-level beings, are scattered in the Great Wasteland. There are about a dozen of them, and they basically control the right to speak in the Great Wasteland. As for how many god-king-level beings are standing behind these large city-states, it is naturally impossible for ordinary practitioners to have access to such top secrets.
In addition to beings at the level of gods, the city-states established by cultivators in the realm of gods can be called intermediate city-states, which are the backbone of the Great Wilderness. The total number is about hundreds. Since these intermediate city-states are sometimes built and sometimes destroyed, no one has ever been able to calculate the exact number.
Of course, these intermediate city-states cannot be compared with the large city-states, but they are also dominant in local areas. Under the intermediate city-states, there are countless primary city-states. These primary city-states were all established by cultivators in the realm of gods. They are so numerous and widely distributed that it is impossible to count them. Often two or three adjacent small villages are merged together, and a section of city wall is built with random soil, which is regarded as establishing a primary city-state.
The Great Wilderness is not a peaceful land, and it is not uncommon for a large sandstorm to suddenly break out, destroying hundreds of city-states at once. In short, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the city-state system of the Great Wilderness Territory, you must find a backer.
If there is no god-king-level existence behind a big city-state, would you be embarrassed to say that you are a big city-state
If an intermediate city-state is not affiliated with a large city-state, it is equivalent to being excluded from the mainstream of the wilderness. It is believed that such a city-state will not exist for long.
As for the primary city-states, they naturally have to find ways to move closer to the intermediate city-states. Otherwise, it would not be surprising if they were established today and destroyed tomorrow.
Araki City is a typical mid-level city-state, located in the western region of the Great Wilderness. The city was built hundreds of thousands of years ago. Zhu Gang, the old city lord, was the first city lord who personally founded Araki City. Naturally, he has supreme prestige in Araki City. If Zhu Gang's prestige was not too high, Araki City would not have been able to survive for several years after his disappearance. It was not until recently that the so-called Lord Mu took away the position of city leader.
The large city-state behind Araki City is called Qinglei City. It is marked on Kong Ming's map of the territory, indicating that the green-skinned cultivator has visited Qinglei City.
However, when Qinglei City was mentioned, Zhu Feng and Bai Xingtian's tone was not very friendly, because Qinglei City, apart from unceremoniously accepting offerings from Araki City every year, never asked for help in critical moments. Araki City lends a helping hand. For example, when the old city lord Zhu Gang disappeared, Qinglei City didn't even ask. There were even rumors that Mutai, who had seized the position of city lord, was able to succeed in one fell swoop with the secret support of Qinglei City.
In the final analysis, Qinglei City just needs an obedient subordinate city-state. As for whether the city owner's surname is Zhu or Mu, it doesn't matter at all.
Zhu Feng is the only descendant of Zhu Gang, the old city lord of Araki City, and it is not easy to have a son from an old age. You must know that the more powerful a cultivator is, the lower the chance of giving birth to an heir. With Zhu Gang's peak cultivation level in the realm of God Lord, it is considered very rare for a legitimate son to be born.
Zhu Feng is Zhu Gang's only bloodline, so he is naturally very loved by Zhu Gang. Zhu Feng has shown extremely good talent since he was a child and has great cultivation value. However, although Zhu Feng is extremely talented, his body is not very good. After all, it is not easy for Zhu Gang to have a son in his old age, which makes Zhu Feng's body deficient in nature and not considered strong. It may limit Zhufeng’s future development.
Therefore, since Zhu Feng was born, Zhu Gang has been trying to find some natural and earthly treasures that can improve his body and give them to Zhu Feng. After more than ten years of recuperation, Zhu Feng's body has been greatly improved. Considering that Zhu Feng is still less than sixteen years old, he can have the cultivation level of the first-level Yuan Emperor. It can be seen that Zhu Feng is indeed talented in addition to his talent. In addition to being excellent, Zhu Gang also put a lot of effort into him.
Almost three and a half years ago, Zhu Gang heard the news that a well-known secret realm in the Great Wilderness, Blood Grave Mountain, suddenly opened, and he immediately became interested in going to explore it.
Blood Grave Mountain is a very famous dangerous place in the wilderness. Even if a god-level being enters it, he will be in danger of falling. To venture to Blood Grave Mountain with the realm of Zhu Fengshen Lord is a huge risk. Risky. However, the Blood Grave Mountain produces the famous body refining sacred object Coagulation Fruit. This spiritual fruit can replenish the practitioner's loss of essence and blood. It also has the effect of changing tendons and cutting marrow. If it can be obtained, it will naturally be of great benefit to Zhu Feng. s help.
Therefore, even though he knew that Blood Grave Mountain was very dangerous, Zhu Gang went there without hesitation. But unfortunately, it has been more than three years since I left, and there is still no news at all. This has caused a series of changes in Araki City.
Although Blood Grave Mountain can be considered a dangerous place, it is not the most dangerous place in the wilderness. If a God-King-level being goes there, there is no need to worry about the risk of life. It was after Zhu Feng saw how powerful Kong Ming was that he wanted to seize this only opportunity, hoping that Kong Ming would rescue Zhu Gang.
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Kong Ming is not opposed to going to Blood Grave Mountain. This does not mean that Kong Ming intends to be a bad person at this time, but because he feels that being able to meet Zhu Feng can be regarded as a mutual relationship. Destiny, maybe if you just go with the flow, there will be some surprises
Moreover, Kong Ming was truly blessed by Zhu Feng’s talent. Since he was destined to discover such a good seedling, why not cultivate it
In particular, Zhu Feng has a pure nature and is even more loved by Kong Ming. When Kong Ming asked Zhu Feng to agree to a request, if Zhu Feng only wanted to regain the position of city lord, then his fate with Kong Ming would end after regaining the position of city lord. . But Zhu Feng's performance made Kong Ming feel that he had a master-disciple relationship with him!
