Zhang Yifeng nodded: "I generally understand. What you mean is that the main town is the most powerful in the town, and the strength of the Shangguan family is only enough to lead the lower-level towns. However, aren't the lower-level towns the weakest?"
"Of course not. There are tribes under low-level towns, and there are villages under tribes. One tribe is in charge of fifty villages, one low-level town is in charge of fifty tribes. One mid-level town is in charge of fifty low-level towns. And so on. "
"Understood."
Zhang Yifeng understood that the people in the Hidden Sect did not use one star, two stars, and three stars to determine strength, but directly used the size of the territory to measure strength.
"Is the main town the strongest force?" Zhang Yifeng asked again.
The virtuous man smiled: "Of course not. The most powerful force is the main city. The Yinmen is very big. Although it is not as big as China, it is still as big as several provinces combined. Such a large Yinmen only has nine main cities. .The person who can be the lord of the main city is either the sect leader of a large sect or the head of a big family. Under the main city, there are one hundred and eight sub-cities. This is second only to the main city, one hundred Lingba Branch City governs all the main towns. Now you know why I said that the Shangguan family is not very powerful. It is just a low-level town. Oh, I was wrong. I forgot. The Shangguan family seemed to have developed into a mid-level town half a year ago. "
In Hidden Gate, wars are very common. If a low-level town wants to develop into a mid-level town, it needs to seize other people's territory. Once the territory is large enough and has fifty affiliated low-level towns, then your own town can become a mid-level town. Of course, In addition to the fifty affiliated low-level towns, the family leader's cultivation level must also be upgraded to a higher level to qualify as an intermediate town.
Fighting for territory is the driving force for people in the Hidden Sect to practice! Every family and every force wants to own a larger territory.
This is also the reason why the hidden sect is stronger than the secular world. If there is motivation, there will be fighting, and only with fighting can there be progress.
The strong men of the Hidden Sect all succeeded by stepping on the corpses of others.
Zhang Yifeng digested the information and then said: "Is the Shangguan family responsible for guarding the teleportation array?"
"Yes, the Shangguan family is very close to the teleportation array, so they are assigned to guard the teleportation array. They say they are guarding the teleportation array. In fact, the Shangguan family does not have much rights. If a force stronger than the Shangguan family wants to go to the secular world, Shangguan The family can't stop it at all. Only people and forces that are weaker than the Shangguan family need to give the Shangguan family a little sweetness, and the Shangguan family only has this little money to gain."
"I see."
Zhang Yifeng nodded, now he had some understanding of the Hidden Sect.
After chatting all the way and walking for about two hours, Zhang Yifeng arrived at the residence of a virtuous Taoist.
"Is this your yard?"
Zhang Yifeng was a little surprised that a virtuous Taoist actually lived in a courtyard. This courtyard was very special. It was located on the top of a mountain and surrounded by water on three sides. Zhang Yifeng didn't understand Feng Shui, but he thought this was a treasured Feng Shui place.
"How about it? The environment is not bad. You can stay here for a few more days. There are many houses, so you can live wherever you like."
The virtuous Taoist smiled and spoke, but found Zhang Yifeng standing there in a daze.
"Little friend, what's wrong with you? Did you hear me?"
Zhang Yifeng woke up and said, "What did you say?"
"I said you can choose any room in the courtyard, except mine, and stay there as long as you want."
"Oh, I'm fine with whatever I want, so let's take this one."
Zhang Yifeng randomly found a room and entered the room.
"I have something to do. I'll come back to you later."
After saying a few words, Zhang Yifeng closed the door, leaving only the virtuous Taoist with a confused look on his face.
Zhang Yifeng really doesn't regard himself as an outsider.
After Zhang Yifeng entered the room, he immediately took out the layout plan. The reason why he was in a daze just now was because he felt something moving in the layout plan!
At this moment, the layout diagram emits a faint light. Although the light is weak, it can be seen clearly.
Zhang Yifeng was sure that he was not dazzled. It seemed that his prediction was correct and Jue Yuan did not lie to him. He did have a chance to come to Yinmen, and that chance was the Frozen Land!
Perhaps, the virtuous Taoist people also calculated that Zhang Yifeng would have a chance, so they invited Zhang Yifeng to come back and live there.
Unfortunately, the Frozen Land is still a little far away from here, otherwise the light of the layout map would not be so dim.
Putting away the layout plan, Zhang Yifeng reopened the door and found the virtuous Taoist.
"My little friend, are things all over so quickly?" Seeing Zhang Yifeng, the virtuous man subconsciously spoke.
"I want to ask you something. Is there any place in Yinmen where there is always snow and wind and the ice never melts?"
"Aren't you talking about the Ice Mountains?" the virtuous man asked back.
"Ice Mountains? What place is it? Where is it?" Zhang Yifeng's eyes lit up.
"The Ice Mountains are a bit far from here. If you drive hard, you can get there in about a day. That's where warriors go for training. What, you want to go to the Ice Mountains? Although there are beasts there that can be trained, but their levels are not the same.
Gao, are you going to the depths of the Ice Mountains? It's very cold there. Warriors below the level of master are not qualified to go."
Zhang Yifeng guessed that the frozen land should be in the Ice Mountains mentioned by virtuous Taoists.
This is an area that has not yet been discovered.
Zhang Yifeng thought for a while and suddenly said: "Take me to the teleportation array first, I want to go back to the secular world."
"Ah? You just came in not long ago and you want to go back?"
The virtuous man looked confused.
Zhang Yifeng nodded: "I will go back and bring some people in. I would like to ask, if you want to bring more than a hundred people in from outside, is it allowed by the Shangguan family?"
"Take more than a hundred people? That many?"
The virtuous man was shocked.
"It's a bit troublesome. It's not easy for people from the secular world to come here, let alone you bring so many people. I don't know how much benefit you will give to the Shangguan family."
"Okay, you take me to the teleportation array first."
Zhang Yifeng decided to go to the teleportation array first. If he could think of a way to bring people in, he would teleport in from the teleportation array guarded by the Shangguan family. If there was no other way, he could only go to the random teleportation array. After entering, more than a hundred people would come to the teleportation array.
Reunion.
"now?"
"Um."
"Okay, I'll just work hard and take you to the teleportation array. Fortunately, I'm not far from the teleportation array."
The virtuous Taoist led Zhang Yifeng to quickly rush to the teleportation array.
Indeed, as the virtuous Taoist said, his location was not very far from the teleportation array. The two of them traveled for three hours and arrived at a large mountain.
The mountain is so steep that it is impossible to go up. There is a thatched hut at the bottom of the mountain.
"right here?"
Zhang Yifeng was stunned. The location of the teleportation array was beyond his imagination.
"Well, in this mountain, the people in the thatched house are members of the Shangguan family, and they are responsible for guarding the teleportation array here."
The virtuous man said, people have already arrived at the thatched house.
