Since the establishment of the Heavenly Demon Empire, the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary has been divided into ninety-nine and eighty-one counties. Except for the nine counties that were assigned to the Vine Demon Clan tens of thousands of years ago, among the remaining seventy-two counties, Heishan County can definitely be regarded as a small county.
Heishan County is only connected to three counties. Among them, Honggu County and Huanhe County are controlled by the Demon Empire. In addition, it is connected to Beiya County, which is controlled by the Teng Demon Clan.
Beiya County is the northernmost territory of the entire Heavenly Demon Sanctuary. It was originally assigned to the Vine Demon Clan in the hope that the Vine Demon Clan could guard the northern portal of the Heavenly Demon Sanctuary and reduce some of the pressure, because if you go from the north, you will directly face the thunder.
The spiritual realm and the Thunder Spirit Realm are also very ambitious realms.
Although it is difficult for the war boat to use space jumps in the Holy Domain, it can fly very fast. In just over a month, it passed through several counties and arrived at the north of the Demonic Holy Domain.
The main reason why Heishan County is called Heishan County is that it is full of black rocky mountains and forests. Not only is the entire Heishan County relatively small, but there are few fields suitable for ordinary mortals to farm, so the population here is also relatively sparse.
Of course, compared to ordinary people, because there are mountains and forests everywhere here, there are not many monks. However, most of the monks like to occupy some hills. Therefore, there are many sects and families in Heishan County, but there are very few big sects and families.
There is only one Xuanjian Sect in the sect that has some influence, but the family has a Nine Surnames Alliance that is quite influential.
The Nine Surnames Alliance is a force formed by the union of the nine most powerful families in Heishan County. Legend has it that these nine major families all have monks in the integration stage. If the nine surnames are united, even the county governor Yan Yuzhang will be
Suppress it firmly, but the Nine Surnames Alliance is no longer as united as it was at the beginning, and there are even some people who have always wanted to replace the Nine Surnames Alliance, so after Yan Yuzhang's continuous manipulation, he can basically control the situation in Heishan County.
Because there are few mortals in Heishan County, there are not many cities, and there are only three fairy cities. One is naturally Heishan City, the county seat of Heishan County, one is the Nine Surnames City established by the Nine Surnames Alliance, and the other is from Beiya County.
Ivory City at the Junction.
Ivory City was built after Beiya County was assigned to the Vine Demon Clan. It was nominally used for trade with the Vine Demon Clan, but in fact it was secretly built to prevent the Vine Demon Clan from becoming too powerful.
Some of the commanders of the Heavenly Demon Guard have secret identities, while others are public. Lin Haoming was canonized as the commander of the Heavenly Demon Guard in the main hall, so his identity is known to everyone.
As the commander of the Heavenly Demon Guard and an imperial envoy arriving in Black Mountain City, it is naturally no small matter.
Yan Yuzhang, the city guard of Black Mountain City, had already made preparations after learning about this matter. Although he was a monk in the integration stage and Lin Haoming was only a monk in the Void Refining stage, because of his status as a demon guard, even he, the city lord,
After receiving the news that Lin Haoming was about to arrive, he also took the initiative to come out to greet him.
The war boat docked directly in the open space near Black Mountain City and the City Lord's Mansion. Lin Haoming stepped off the war boat and saw a burly man with a red face walking towards him with a smile.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe the man in front of him as extraordinary. Although there are many people around him, everyone who sees him will treat him as the core.
This person was naturally Yan Yuzhang. Although Lin Haoming had never met him, since he wanted to come here and deal with the people here, he naturally wanted to find out what Yan Yuzhang looked like.
In fact, Rong Can himself was born here and had met Yan Yuzhang. He had already reminded him when he and Lin Haoming got off the war boat.
"Lin Dutong, thank you for your hard work!" Yan Yuzhang didn't have the airs of a senior monk in the integration stage. When he saw Lin Haoming, he felt as if he was chatting with an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Lin Haoming was a little surprised. After all, he believed that monks in the integration stage should be aloof. Such a peaceful attitude was rare. He didn't know if he treated everyone like this or because of his own status.
Of course, since the Yan Yuzhang in front of him was so kind, Lin Haoming naturally raised his hands politely and said: "I have admired you for a long time, Commander Yan."
Lin Haoming's colleagues who were chatting with each other also glanced at the others and discovered that the Situ Ming they met on Zhuque Island was indeed there. In fact, after what happened last time, Lin Haoming also specifically inquired about the other person's identity and knew that this person was Montenegro.
Lieutenant Zuo of the county.
The county lieutenant is the highest official in charge of the army besides the county guard in a county. They are generally divided into left and right county lieutenants. Among them, the left county lieutenant is the most respected. In terms of rank, the left county lieutenant is the fourth rank, while the right county lieutenant is only
An official position under the fourth rank.
Of course, the Zuojun Lieutenant Situ Ming occupies a relatively low position in this matter. Following Yan Yuzhang on the left and right are another Fusion Stage monk and a monk who is only at the third level of the Void Refining Stage.
After the introduction, Lin Haoming knew that the monk in the integration stage was Xiao Yu, the county prime minister, and the third-level monk in the virtual refining stage was the censor of Heishan County. His name was Xuanyuan Chi, and he was obviously a member of the royal family.
This censor is naturally an official of the Demon Empire who monitors the situation in various places, and at least half of the counties in the entire Demon Empire are members of the royal family, so Lin Haoming was not very surprised after learning his identity.
In addition to these two people who are nominally the highest status people in the entire Heishan County, Yan Yuzhang immediately introduced two other monks in the integration stage who were behind him.
Lin Haoming had already noticed these two Fusion Stage monks. After all, they were not wearing so-called official uniforms. One of them was a handsome man in red brocade clothes, and the other was an experienced Taoist.
"Lin Dutong, is this me? Zhu Yong, the deputy leader of the Nine Surnames League of Heishan County, is also the head of the Zhu family of the Nine Surnames League and the nine major families." Yan Yuzhang first introduced the man in red brocade.
"It turns out it's Alliance Leader Zhu. I've heard of the name a long time ago!" Lin Haoming had indeed known about the Nine Surnames Alliance for a long time. Now that he came here, the Nine Surnames Alliance specially sent a deputy alliance leader who was also the clan leader, and he considered it to be quite important. However,
Lin Haoming exchanged greetings with him. He didn't know whether the deputy leader really came on behalf of the alliance or if he represented his own family.
"This is the supreme elder of Xuanjian Sect, Jin Shan, fellow Taoist Jin!" After him, Yan Yuzhang introduced another old Taoist with a long beard and drooping chest.
"Long time admiration, long time admiration!" Lin Haoming continued to greet, and also looked at the old Taoist in front of him. Although the old Taoist was also a monk in the integration stage, his attitude towards himself was somewhat colder than the previous monks in the integration stage. He didn't know whether it was this way or because of it.
He was just facing a monk in the Void Refining Stage, that's why he was like this.
After being introduced by several monks in the integration period, it was finally the turn of the captains. This time, Yan Yuzhang patted Situ Ming on the shoulder with a smile and said to Lin Haoming: "Lin Dutong, Captain Situ was in the imperial capital before.
There was some minor misunderstanding with you, and when I found out later, I already punished him, so I asked Lin Dutong not to care about it!" (To be continued.)
