Dragon City was located in the center of the House of Ares, and was rumored to have existed since ancient times. According to the legends, in ancient times, there weren't three major prefectures, and the three clans all lived together in a chaotic manner. Although there were occasional disputes, there were no major wars.
Then, an ancient great emperor appeared on the continent. He called himself the Dragon, and he led three generals from the three clans on expeditions to the east and west, finally unifying the continent and establishing the Fire Dragon Empire. Then, he established Dragon City, and divided the continent into three prefectures, with three generals from different clans appointed as prefectures. And now, Dragon City was the capital of the Fire Dragon Empire.
The legends might not be trustworthy, but the prosperity of Dragon City was unquestionable. The city walls were more than twenty meters tall and more than ten meters wide, and wrapped around the entire Dragon City like a dumpling. There was a moat dozens of meters wide, and the water inside was turbulent and unfathomable.
"This city wall is too majestic!"
This was the first time Ye Qinghan had come to Dragon City. Through the curtain of the carriage, he looked at the tall, green, and towering walls. It was as if he was seeing the Great Wall of his world for the first time, and he was deeply shocked.
The carriages entered Dragon City without any obstruction. The prestige of the five great clans wasn't challenged in this aspect. Even the rows of prefectural soldiers at the city gates wore respectful and envious gazes. They stood to the side respectfully and watched the carriages advance.
After the carriages entered Dragon City, they parted ways at an intersection. Each clan had a manor in Dragon City. Last night, they had agreed that they would go back and rest for the night, and gather at the city lord's mansion the next morning.
The Ye Family's manor was in the east of the city. After traveling from the city gates for an hour, the carriages stopped in front of a large bronze gate. There were rows of people standing in front of the gate. They had probably received the news and were waiting here in advance.
"Greetings, Young Master Han!"
Ye Qinghan alighted from the carriage and saw a group of people kneeling on one knee in front of the gate, and a middle-aged man standing in the middle with a smile.
"I am Ye Ping. Nephew, you must have had a hard journey!" The middle-aged man was about forty years old. He looked scholarly and had a gentle expression, and he had the demeanor of an elder.
"Ye Qinghan greets Elder Ye Ping!" Ye Qinghan had already obtained information about Ye Ping from Ye Shisan. He knew that Ye Ping was from the same generation as his father, Ye Dao. He was a collateral descendant of the family and had a good relationship with Ye Dao in his early years. He was now at the second level of the emperor realm and had been guarding the Dragon City all year round. He was one of the elders who held real power in the family. He wasn't at the same level as the city lord like Night Rod. He was one of the true higher-ups in the family.
Therefore, when he saw that Ye Ping had expressed enough sincerity and personally came to the entrance of the manor to welcome him, he was too embarrassed to be so cold, so he politely bowed.
When Ye Ping saw Ye Qinghan bowing respectfully to him, the smile on his face deepened. Didn't the family report say that this kid didn't have any manners? He even dared to scold the Patriarch? Look, aren't you being very polite to me? Ye Ping's mood became even better when he thought of this. He held Ye Qinghan's hand affectionately and said, "Come, let's talk inside. I thought you had prepared a banquet to welcome you."
"Elder is too polite!" Ye Qinghan nodded indifferently and nodded at Ye Shisan, Dongfang Dao, and the others behind him. Then, they walked into the manor.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the meal was very enjoyable under Ye Ping's deliberate persuasion. After the meal, Ye Qinghan sat leisurely by the tea table and drank tea. He sat quietly and waited for Ye Ping to speak. He knew that the elders of the Ye Family definitely had something to tell him about the Residence Battle. Since they didn't tell him anything, he would be entering the Residence Battle Zone in two days. Only Ye Ping could tell him something.
"Tomorrow, you will go to the City Lord Residence to receive your badge. The day after tomorrow, you will be directly transported from the City Lord Residence to the Residence Battle Island. Before that, the family sent me a message asking me to explain to you the situation of the Residence Battle and the things you need to pay attention to. "
Ye Ping saw that Ye Qinghan was sitting quietly, so he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He had only participated in the Residence Battle once, and it was a chaotic Residence Battle where warriors of all levels could enter. However, the number of people who had participated in the Residence Battle was very high. Therefore, the information in this area was relatively complete. After receiving the message from the family, he specially went to the City Lord Residence and looked through a lot of information about the Residence Battle. At this moment, seeing that Ye Qinghan was very interested in listening, he was also gratified. He paused and continued to speak.
"First of all, let me introduce the venue to you. The Residence Battle Island is actually made up of four islands. There is a big island in the center and three small islands on three sides of the big island. You will be transported to the small island belonging to the House of Ares. This place is absolutely safe. It is where the camp of the House of Ares is located … As for the island in the center, we call it Netherworld Island. Netherworld Island is very large, about one-tenth the size of the House of Ares. The terrain inside is intricate. I will give you a detailed map later. Netherworld Island is the battlefield of the Residence Battle. You can kill wantonly here. Except for the children of the Ye Family, you can't trust anyone here, including people from other families. Historically, people from the House of Ares often plotted against people from the House of Ares. As long as the deed is done secretly, the family can't do anything if there is no evidence. "
"The Residence Battle is held once a year, and each prefecture has 100,000 people. The House of Ares has 50 elite teams like the one you are leading, and a total of 10,000 people. The rest of the 90,000 people are low-level warriors and ordinary soldiers, and the elites of the other two prefectures are also about 10,000 people. In the past, the rules of the Residence Battle have been that the elite teams will fight and hunt each other at the beginning. The final battle of all the legions will be held in the last month. The final battle is the most chaotic, so the family recommends that you don't participate. Therefore, your mission is to enter Netherworld Island in the first 11 months, hunt the elites of the other two prefectures, collect badges, and earn points. "
"I understand. How are the points calculated?" Ye Qinghan blinked his eyes, nodded seriously, and asked.
"To explain the points, I first have to tell you about the difference in strength between the Monster Clan and the Barbarian Clan. Like the human race, the two clans are divided into nine ranks — Monster Soldier, Great Monster Soldier, Monster Warrior, Great Monster Warrior, Monster General, Monster Commander, Monster Emperor, Monster Saint. There are also Barbarian Soldier, Great Monster Soldier, Great Monster Warrior, Barbarian General, Barbarian Commander, Barbarian Emperor, Barbarian Saint, and Barbarian Emperor. Of course, there will be no Monster Emperor or Barbarian Emperor in the three clans below the age of 30. At least on the surface, according to the family's information, there are no such geniuses in the two prefectures. After all, your father, Ye Dao, reached the Emperor Realm at the age of 28. There is only one in the entire Fire Dragon Continent every few hundred years, so you don't have to worry about this. The family's request for you is that you try not to participate in battles in the first half of the year and focus on training. When your strength reaches the Marshal Realm and you can protect yourself from the Barbarian Emperor and Monster Emperor, you can participate in battles in large numbers. Ye Thirteenth and Ye Seventeenth will tell you the details … The points are easy to calculate. Using the Monster Clan as an example, Monster Soldiers and Great Monster Soldiers are considered ordinary soldiers. They only have one point, Monster Warrior is two points, Great Monster Warrior is five points, Monster General is ten points, Monster Commander is thirty points, and Monster Emperor is one hundred points! "
Uh! After listening to Ye Ping's explanation, Ye Qinghan lowered his head and calculated silently. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said with a serious expression, "According to you, I have to kill at least one hundred Monster Emperors, three hundred Monster Commanders, or one thousand Monster Generals to get ten thousand points to exchange for Spirit Pills?"
"Theoretically, yes." Ye Ping nodded and sighed, "However, the elite teams from the three prefectures that enter Nether Island are basically led by Marquises or Monster Emperors or Barbarian Emperors. The Marquises and Monster Emperors and Barbarian Emperors are basically there to restrain them. If a Marquis wants to kill a martial artist of a lower realm than him, the opponent's powerhouse will definitely restrain him and then summon their companions. Therefore, it is usually the martial artists of the same realm in the team who attack each other. On the surface, you are a General Realm martial artist, but your strength is probably enough to kill a Level One Marshal Realm martial artist, right? Therefore, you have a great advantage in the Prefecture Battle! This is why the family sent you to participate in the Prefecture Battle. You don't understand the specifics, and it's hard to explain the situation. I'm just giving you a suggestion. Try to listen to Ye Thirteenth and Ye Seventeenth's opinions in the Prefecture Battle … "
The task was difficult! Ye Qinghan sighed deeply. The number one treasure of the Prefecture Battle, the Spirit Pills, was indeed not so easy to exchange for. Although the Monster God and Barbarian God Prefectures had two hundred thousand elites. The points added up would probably be more than a million. However, in a chaotic battle like the Prefecture Battle, it would be quite difficult to obtain ten thousand points while preserving one's life. At least, Ye Qinghan felt that the difficulty was as high as the mountain in the Divine City, seemingly insurmountable!
… …
Late at night, Ye Ping explained many things to Ye Qinghan, and Ye Qinghan listened attentively. After all, this was related to his life and whether he could save his sister. The Prefecture Battle seemed to be easy to obtain points, but in fact, it was extremely difficult. It was basically exchanging points with people's lives.
After Ye Ping finished explaining the things that the family had ordered, he arranged for someone to bring Ye Qinghan to rest. After watching Ye Qinghan's figure disappear into the vast night, Ye Ping entered through the side door of the hall and came to a quiet room.
The room was a study. A green figure was sitting quietly inside, drinking tea and reading a book.
"Greetings, Grand Supreme Elder!" Ye Ping bowed respectfully.
"Eh." The green figure raised his head and looked over with a pair of bulging eyes. "Are you done explaining?"
"I've explained everything according to Grand Supreme Elder's instructions." Ye Ping said softly. After a while, he asked with a puzzled expression, "Grand Supreme Elder, there are some questions that Ye Ping doesn't understand. Why did you send Ye Qinghan to the Prefecture Battle? You have to know that it's impossible for him to obtain so many points. Moreover, the Prefecture Battle is so dangerous. If anything happens, the family can't afford to lose … … "
"Eh!" Ye Qinniu heard Ye Ping's question and revealed an expression that he knew he would ask. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Both the Patriarch and I know this. In fact, we don't expect him to obtain ten thousand points. The family has also arranged a few secret teams and experts to secretly obtain points. Moreover, this kid has been chosen by the Yue Family's Saintess. After a discussion with Yue Ji, the Yue Family has also sent three super elite teams to help him obtain the Spirit Pills. "
"As for why we sent Ye Qinghan to the Prefecture Battle, I get angry just thinking about it … … Isn't it all because of that idiot Ye Jian? If he hadn't caused so much trouble, would the situation be so troublesome now? You don't know how much Ye Qinghan resisted the family after that incident. It could even be said that he completely disliked the family. The Patriarch and I had no choice but to use him to save his sister to slowly ease the gap between him and the family. As for the danger … … the Patriarch said that martial artists who don't experience life and death battles will never become strong. Moreover, Thirteen, Seventeen, and the Death God Team will follow him. As long as they don't act rashly, it shouldn't be a big problem. Moreover, the family has other arrangements, so you don't have to worry too much. "
"Since Grand Supreme Elder and the family have arrangements, Ye Ping is naturally assured. I hope that this kid will have a smooth journey in the Prefecture Battle!"
"I hope so!" Later, let Thirteen and Seventeen come in. I'll explain to them. "
Two deep sighs resounded in the room! It added a bit of melancholy to the summer night …
