Longyue City, as the political and economic center of Qin's southern region, is undoubtedly much larger than other cities.
Even White Tiger City is incomparable to Longyue City, and there is a huge mansion located in the middle of Longyue City.
And judging from this area, it occupies at least one-third of Longyue City.
This mansion is where the Ouyang family, the real ruler of the southern region of Qin, lives.
Moreover, there are two majestic stone lions erected on both sides of the mansion, which are vividly carved.
When others saw this magnificent mansion, they all gave thumbs up in admiration.
At this time, three men in black hurriedly walked to the door of the mansion. They were about to enter, but were blocked by two guards: "I'm sorry, please show me your token!"
"Token? I've blinded you so you don't know who I am?"
The man in black in the middle cursed angrily, and walked directly in regardless of the obstruction of the two guards.
The two brothers behind him also followed in angrily. The two guards at the door were staring at each other, quite at a loss.
"What's wrong with them?" the guard on the left asked quietly.
"The devil knows, but looking at them like that, the mission has most likely failed."
Perhaps remembering the rude behavior of the three people before, the guard on the right smiled mockingly, "It seems like they will definitely be punished by adults this time."
After the three men in black entered, they immediately entered a dark room.
There was a person sitting in the dark room. The sword master in the middle, Liuzhongtian, and the two brothers beside him looked at each other.
Then he knelt on one knee and said, "Report to your lord, our mission has failed."
"Failed? Could it be that the formation I prepared for you failed?"
The adult did not turn around, but smiled softly, which made the three of them feel a little scared.
The man in black in the middle said with shame: "There was an accident, but that formation successfully restrained Zhao Long."
But who would have thought that Zhao Long could actually use the rare flying knife skill and escape directly into the air.
And the speed was too fast. When we used the kilogram net to hunt him down, "who knew the kilogram net suddenly failed."
"Kilogram network actually failed?" Hearing the answer from the man in black in the middle, the man on the seat raised his eyebrows in surprise, and there seemed to be some surprise in his tone.
"Yes, we just threw it out, but the kilogram net seemed to have completely lost its target in mid-air and fell from the air."
"This allowed Zhao Long to escape our pursuit." The man in black in the middle explained helplessly.
In this operation, three of them sword masters were asked to deal with a sixth-level sword master, which originally made them feel unhappy.
I thought it was a sure thing, but who would have thought that the other party could easily escape, and now he has to face punishment.
The man on the seat did not speak anymore, but fell into deep thought.
The silent atmosphere frightened the three sword masters even more, fearing that the adults would severely punish them. They all closed their mouths tightly and kept praying in their hearts.
"You three should understand the consequences of mission failure?"
You all go to the execution hall and have each of your arms cut off! The tone of the adult on the seat was very relaxed, without any change at all.
"Break off each of our arms?" Upon hearing this punishment, the three men in black suddenly screamed.
"What? Do you want to disobey my order?"
The adults in the seats frowned slightly, clearly expressing their dissatisfaction in their tone, "Or do you think the punishment is too light?"
"No, no, we have no objection!" When the three men in black thought of the terror of the adults in front of them, the little anger in their hearts completely disappeared.
The three of them gritted their teeth and looked at each other: "Isn't it just an arm? I admit it!"
After that, the three of them walked out quickly and closed the door.
The noisy darkness fell silent again, leaving only the adult still sitting in his seat.
And with the faint light, you can see that the adult narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhao Long? What an interesting boy."
"Sneeze!" Zhao Long, who was moving rapidly towards Longyue City, suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose, "Strange, who is thinking of me?"
However, after only pondering for a moment, Zhao Long raised his head and said: "Forget it, I don't think about it anymore, it's more important to hurry on."
Although Houcheng Town is a small town on the southwest border of Baihu City, its permanent population is only one-tenth of that of Baihu City.
But since then, the floating population in the town has been much larger than that in Baihu City.
On the edge of Houcheng Town, there are many mountains across it. Within the scope of Houcheng Town.
There are many first- and second-level monsters and many materials for refining weapons and medicines in the mountains, which directly allows many cultivators to gain a lot of wealth here.
A large number of cultivators came to Houcheng Town, all wanting to compete, which resulted in the floating population of Houcheng Town being much larger than that of Baihu City.
Even though Zhao Long was mentally prepared, when he arrived at Houcheng Town, he was still shocked by the scene of people coming and going in front of him.
The narrow street was crowded with vendors setting up stalls on both sides.
Each one of them shouted loudly about their goods and boasted that their goods were the best.
Sometimes they even get into quarrels over competing for customers.
"Hey, little brother, you will know that you are from out of town. Come and see my wolf skin. It is absolutely authentic and the price is low."
I bet it’s the cheapest in the entire back town. How about I sell it to you for twenty gold coins?”
Zhao Long was strolling around when he was suddenly pulled to the side by a vendor.
"Twenty gold coins?" Haitian was surprised. Although he didn't have much idea about money,
But I also understand that ten gold coins are enough for an ordinary family of three to live for half a year, and these twenty gold coins are almost equivalent to one year for others.
"Little brother, don't listen to him. He sells the most expensive wolf pelts in the entire back town. He has the nerve to open his mouth for twenty gold coins."
Come and take a look at mine. The quality and hair are extremely superior. "It only costs eighteen gold coins."
Just when Zhao Long was surprised, another vendor also walked up.
"Why are you like this? Are you here to steal my business again?" The vendor who first grabbed Zhao Long was unhappy.
"Your quality and hair are completely inferior to mine. What's more, you're only two gold coins cheaper than me. What's the point of making a fuss?"
"Your wolf skin is of good quality? Don't be kidding me. Who doesn't know that your wolf skin is of the worst quality?"
The hawker coming from behind screamed in disbelief, and at the same time, he pulled Hai Tian and pointed at a piece of wolf skin in the hand of the hawker in front.
"Little brother, look, this guy's wolf skin has many black lines on it. The quality is not as good as mine. You'd better buy mine."
"Fart! It's obviously my fault!"
The vendor who first grabbed Zhao Long grabbed Zhao Long's right arm angrily, and it seemed that he would not let Zhao Long go unless Zhao Long bought it.
Another vendor also grabbed Zhao Long's left arm very accurately, and shouted with an aura that refused to let go: "What? Are you afraid of you? Your pile is just garbage, it can't be compared with mine!"
In an instant, the two vendors started arguing. Zhao Long couldn't help but laugh and cry, and then moved a few times.
But he found that the two vendors had completely placed him in the middle.
In desperation, Zhao Long used the Five Elements Escape Technique and disappeared directly in front of the two of them.
"I emerged in a secluded place with a wry smile on my face, "This town is really special."
This was only the first case that Zhao Long encountered, and then he encountered several more such quarrels over competing for customers.
There were even a few direct fights, which made Zhao Long shake his head and sigh.
But what surprised him was that most of the vendors here were sword masters, and there were also many sword masters.
Occasionally, a few sword masters would pass by, and all the sword masters on the way would look at them with respect.
It seems that Houcheng Town is truly a town of swordsmen, with more powerful swordsmen than White Tiger City.
But Zhao Long didn't come here to buy anything, but to inquire about news.
Although he only knew how to practice in his previous life, he also knew that the best place to get information was the tavern.
After asking for the location of the tavern on the road, Zhao Long arrived outside the largest tavern in the back town.
Although it is a tavern, it is just a few broken rooms with no doors or windows around. It is very convenient for customers to come from all directions.
Before Zhao Long could enter, he heard the noise coming from the tavern.
After frowning slightly, Zhao Long walked straight in and found an unoccupied table and sat down.
At this time, a person who looked like a waiter walked over quickly. What surprised Zhao Long was that the waiter turned out to be a third-level Heavenly Sword Master.
The waiter asked smartly: "Sir, what do you need?"
"Bring me a pot of the most common bar here?" To be honest, Zhao Long is not very good at drinking.
And he doesn't have much interest in drinking, but he does as the Romans do, and if he doesn't order a pot of wine, he might become an outlier here.
"Okay, a pot of nine brews! Do you need anything else?" the waiter shouted, then lowered his head and asked again.
Zhao Long shook his head: "No need. By the way, aren't you a sword master with a third level of cultivation? Why are you working as a waiter here?"
"Sir, are you from outside?" Upon hearing Zhao Long's question, the waiter couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
Zhao Long nodded silently, and then the waiter continued: Sir, you don't know.
The competition here is very fierce, and most sword masters will choose to join the mercenary group here.
And a small number of idle swordsmen like me don't want to join those forces, "but in order to survive, they have no choice but to work here and make money."
"Then you won't enter the Monster Mountain Range to hunt down some first-level monsters? Isn't it impossible with your strength?" Zhao Long couldn't understand.
"How can it be that easy? After the town entered the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, the radius of 20 kilometers was divided evenly by those mercenary groups."
Moreover, even if idle sword masters like us enter the hunt for first-level monsters, they still have to pay high taxes.
Sometimes after a trip, not only did I not make any money, but I also had to put money into it.
And if you want to find a territory without influence, you have to go a little further inside, but it is too far away from the back town.
" We are also afraid of encountering third-level monsters. With our strength, we would simply go up there and die."
This was the first time that Zhao Long knew that the sword masters in this place lived such a hard life.
Just as he was about to ask about his family, a scream suddenly came over him.
Many swordsmen in the tavern stood up with solemn expressions and walked outside one after another. This chapter has been completed!
