Chapter 1 Heading to the Holy City

Since the catastrophe in the human world eleven years ago, the Demon Soul Desert has become an adventure place for the strong people in the Five Elements Continent. It seems that as long as you walk here, you can prove your courage to anyone. Although the Black Sha Ridge in the Demon Soul Desert is marked as an absolute forbidden zone by the five empires within a radius of thousands of miles, there are still not some courageous young monks who are willing to turn around here. Such behavior will attract the envy of their peers even if they go back and talk about it.

The Heisha Ridge is bounded by black sand, and no one dares to enter the black sand, but outside the black sand, there are often monks looking inside, as if they are looking at the origin of the black sand.

On this day, seven or eight monks who looked extraordinary in dress stood outside the black sand, riding their own monsters, and they were not sure where they were noble children. One of the young monks who seemed to be the oldest was pondering against the black sand, while the monks who were with him said with a smile on their faces: "Brother Wang, I advise you not to act irritably. This Black Sha Ridge is a place of death that is explicitly prohibited. Your family enjoys a reputation in the South Fire Empire, and you are the only one in the family. Although you are absolutely the first among us, if you want to break into this Black Sha Ridge, you may not have the possibility of success."

"Master Ouyang's cultivation level has reached the imperial level. If he comes, he will definitely go in and walk. How much do you know? My father is a vanguard general under the command of the Master, but what exactly in this Heisha Ridge will make the elders of various empires so afraid?"

Another young man with short hair suddenly interrupted and said, "I don't know what is in this Black Sha Ridge, but my grandfather has repeatedly told me not to let me go in and take risks. He once said that even the ancestors of the imperial level of each empire would not dare to enter easily unless..."

"Unless what?" several young people, including the monk of the Southern Fire Empire with the highest cultivation level, asked curiously at the same time.

"Unless the saint who led the Imperial coalition to fight against the demons has this ability!"

"That's natural. I heard that he was younger than us back then, but he was already the strongest man on the mainland. Unfortunately, he disappeared for no reason after the war. Where do you think he would go?"

"I think he must have lived in seclusion. After all, what the strong man like the most is noisy. Just like our elders in seclusion, they will never be disturbed, otherwise they will definitely be treated by family law!"

At this moment, a girl who had been staring at Heisha Ridge and didn't say much suddenly pointed at Heisha Ridge and said loudly: "Look, what is that?"

"I said to Shizuko, you are a monk after all, and you're still fussy about anything. Can any monsters appear in the Black Sha Ridge? I see you..." Before he could speak, all the young monks were completely stuck in place, and no one could say a word again.

At this moment, countless black whirlwinds suddenly hung in the Black Sha Ridge, and a black monster of twenty or thirty feet was flashing constantly in the middle of the black whirlwind. The black whirlwind seemed to be unable to hurt the monster's body at all. As long as you touch it, it would be knocked like a mighty scattered.

These young people outside the Heisha Ridge have never seen such a scene. The black sand whirlwind that had already made them frightened was actually played with by the black monster like a toy. Suddenly, a roar that made the earth feel trembling, came from the Heisha Ridge. All the black whirlwinds disappeared beside the black monster. According to legend, the Black Sandge Ridge, which had been raging for countless years, actually had a moment of Qingming at this time.

Although the black monster had already flew out of the Black Sha Ridge in a blink of an eye, the young people could still see clearly that it was a monster they had never seen before. But what shocked them even more was that there was a man and a woman standing above the head of the black monster at this time.

It was not until the black monster had flew away that the young monks realized that the cultivator with the highest cultivation level stammered and said, "What kind of monster is that? Have anyone seen the two people above the monster's head?"

The young monk seemed to have not come back to his senses, and shook his head dumbly. The monk with the highest cultivation level was obviously the calmest among the people. Although he was still scared in his heart, he reluctantly made a decision and said: "Our noble adventure group was officially disbanded from this moment. End this training schedule. Be sure to bring what we saw back to their respective empires as soon as possible, so that the seniors in the family could quickly report this matter to the imperial royal family!"

It turned out that this group of young people was just an expedition team organized by some nobles of some status in various empires to conduct training. Their behavior has always been nothing among the nobles, but as the news they brought back spread, various speculations instantly spread throughout the Five Elements Continent.

Han Xuan, the initiator, was also flying from Agu to the Saint City guarded by Leng Jian in the Middle Earth Empire with Xiaoyu. As he approached his destination, Han Xuan's heart gradually became uneasy. He knew that he had disappeared for more than ten years. If someone wanted to see him or had been waiting for him, except for a few special relatives such as Qi Tianyun, the rest would definitely be guarded in the Saint City, because among the five empires, there was only that could be called his foundation.

However, Han Xuan said a few words about Agu's almost arrogant behavior in front of others. After all, he has not been in the human world for eleven years. He does not know what the situation on the mainland is. Han Xuan does not want to cause any trouble to others because of his return. After all, he will go to the God of Relics Continent soon after, and the fewer people know that he is back, the better.

Of course, Agu would not have any disgust for Han Xuan's blame, but could only obey it. Besides, Xiaoyu said good things, Han Xuan did not resent about this matter. After all, Han Xuan had nothing to be afraid of. Even if Agu's temporary inappropriateness caused unnecessary trouble, Han Xuan would not have any major problems with himself.

When they and three of them came to the Saint Lord City in Han Xuan's memory, they fell from afar. In order not to disturb the others, Xiaoyu sent Agu into the Xuantian Soul Jade, and then the two of them walked towards the Saint Lord City.

Han Xuan was in a hurry because of the situation and came here. He only heard Chen Fan talk about how grand and grand the newly built Saint City was. Today, he really had a different momentum. Looking at the city wall that was taller than the Central Earth Emperor from afar, ordinary people might feel breathless. Even a dozen feet tall city gates would not feel low at all, and could enter and exit freely.

This is true. Han Xuan saw many monks riding various monsters coming in and out of the city gate at a distance. However, one thing that everyone is exactly the same is that all the people entering the city jump off their mounts at the city gate, and those who leave the city also need to leave the city gate at least a hundred feet before they can get on the mounts.

When he walked closer, Han Xuan looked up and saw the three big characters "The Strong and Powerful Saint City" above the city gate. There was a small gate just two or three feet tall next to the city gate. Many monks who came alone entered and exited this gate. Hesitated that the Saint City was strictly managed and strict inspections were required to enter the city. Therefore, there were hundreds of monks queuing here at this time.

Han Xuan had no intention of breaking the rules and was also in the queue. He had nothing to do and started talking to the monks in front of him. After talking, he realized that although the Saint City is still an isolated city, what no one on the mainland dared to deny is that it is an isolated city that is rich enough to rival a country. In terms of annual income alone, even the three imperial cities cannot be compared with it. The reason is very simple. This is a city composed entirely of monks. Now the best alchemists on the mainland gather here, which has almost occupied two-thirds of the Alchemist Guild. In the past few years, even the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild, Chamber of Commerce Alliance and Mercenary Guild were brought here.

Each empire has important officials here as guests. Moreover, the city has the largest, most complete, and most powerful colleges on the mainland, as well as the first trading hall in the mainland, which is a joint elite between the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and the Saint City. There is nothing that cannot be bought or sold in this city. As long as it does not touch the laws of the Saint City, you can enjoy the treatment you deserve here.

Today, the Saint City has developed into a central city that controls the lifeline of the mainland's economy. As long as talented monks can achieve their wishes, the Saint City gives people the feeling of peace and peace. Perhaps it is the only city on the mainland where there is no patrol guards in the city so far.

However, no one would doubt the military strength of the Saint City. The Saint City was like a sleeping giant beast. If someone dared to provoke it, the giant beast would wake up and attack those enemies who challenged its majesty. Not for many years, no one was causing trouble here, but all the people who caused trouble quietly disappeared on the continent when others were not paying attention.

No one knows how profound the foundation of the Saint City is. Even in the eyes of the royal families of major empires, this is a very mysterious thing, but no one will easily mention it. No royal family thinks that the power of the Saint City will threaten their own safety, because everyone knows that the Saint City has its promise of never invading. The person who made this promise is not someone else, the Saint City who once stood at the peak of the continent and saved the entire Five Elements Continent and was respected by thousands of monks.

Han Xuan's name is still known. The things he has done have been remembered in his heart by countless people, but as time goes by, it has become a belief in his heart. Therefore, even if this belief is lined up at the city gate like everyone else, it is not recognized. After all, Han Xuan's image is too brilliant and does not match his appearance at this time, and his aura is weak. However, this is exactly what Han Xuan thought.

He just wanted to come back and see the person he wanted to see, and did not want to disturb other irrelevant people. After paying the two of them for the entry fee, Han Xuan walked into this city that he had entered for the first time. But the first thing he saw when he entered the city had completely shocked him. It was a huge statue that was thirty feet tall, more than half higher than the city wall. The rolling soul power around him surged, and the huge formation made it impossible for people to see the statue outside the city, which seemed to indicate that the statue belonged to this city alone.

The armor covered with dragon scales, holding a long sword with five-colored streams of light, a young and handsome face, and the fascinating fortitude at the corner of his mouth were exactly what Han Xuan looked like.
