Chapter 761

Haimen was a large sect in the Core Base Continent. It was quite powerful, had many disciples, controlled many large trading companies, and had many secret realms. It had many dependent families and talisman sects from mid-ranked continents. Among the high-ranked continents, it could be considered a relatively famous sect.

Haimen was located on a plain without any mountains. As far as the eye could see, it was a flat plain without any protection. Guo Shier was dumbfounded and asked, "Your sect is right in front?"

Xuan Ai said, "There's still some distance, but we're almost there. Not far ahead is a residential area, and then the sect."

More and more flying cars appeared in the sky, as well as flying professionals. There were neat farmlands and small villages on the ground. As they got closer to Haimen, some small towns gradually appeared on the ground. Not long after, Guo Shier saw the tall buildings on the horizon. Haimen was almost there.

About a kilometer away from the Sea Gate, pillars of different heights began to appear. They were all black pillars that were as thick as a person's arms. They were scattered sparsely on the ground. Guo Shier asked, "Is this a large talisman formation?"

Xuan Ai nodded, "Yes, there's only one way in, look!"

The professionals and flying cars in the sky gradually gathered at a certain angle, and then landed one by one in order. The flying cars stopped on a spacious area, and there were people there to receive and look after them. After the people in the cars got off, they walked along a road.

Guo Shier asked, "Are we also going to go through this road?"

Xuan Ai smiled, "Yes, we can't fly, we can only walk. This road isn't long, and we'll soon enter the outer circle of Haimen. That's where the dependent families and the families of the professionals live."

There weren't many people and cars flying in the wild, but the number of people gathered together surprised Guo Shier. When those professionals gathered on one road, it suddenly became very crowded. It felt like they were walking on a busy commercial street, with people rubbing shoulders and crowding each other.

Guo Shier looked along the road, and after a while, he said, "This road … there are at least tens of thousands of people going in and out!"

Xuan Ai said with a bit of pride, "Our Haimen sect has more than a million professionals, and the dependent families and other places have more than ten million. Ordinary people who rely on Haimen … have more than seven hundred million."

Guo Shier couldn't help but be amazed. Just a sect alone had more people than some countries in his previous life. It was simply a giant. He asked, "How many professionals are there above Saint Masters?"

Xuan Ai replied, "Around ten thousand to twenty thousand. I'm not too sure about the exact number, but to be able to become a Saint Master, they also have a certain amount of status within the sect."

Guo Shier felt his head go dizzy. Nearly twenty thousand Saint Masters? This was too terrifying. As for how many Kuang Shi had, he didn't even dare to ask. This was the strength of a large sect from a high-ranked continent. In the Chenxiao Sect, one could become an elder after reaching the Saint Master level, but the Saint Masters here were only the core disciples, and not the peak professionals.

Although Guo Shier was shocked, he still kept a smile on his face and said, "Oh, if I want to join Haimen, I won't be that bad, right?"

Xuan Ai said, "That depends on the individual. In fact, with so many Saint Masters scattered among the various families, the various organizations in the inner sect, and the big cities and businesses in the outer sect, there aren't that many Saint Masters. The Saint Masters who can maintain their battle state all year round are only a few thousand. The big sects are like this."

Hearing this, Guo Shier finally understood and thought, "That's more like it. If there were almost twenty thousand Saint Masters in a battle state, then it would be too powerful."

Guo Shier asked, "Since there are so many Saint Masters, there should be many Great Saint Masters, right?"

Xuan Ai said, "Of course, there are a few thousand of them. However, most of them are Primary Great Saint Masters. There shouldn't be more than a few hundred High Great Saint Masters. Hehe, there are at least a dozen who are stronger than Great Saint Masters. That's all on the surface. Who knows how many there are in the dark."

He then added, "Those are the people who truly control the sect. They are the sect's trump card."

Guo Shier understood that these people were equivalent to experts like Zhu Jiamao and the Yao Ji. They were even stronger than High Great Saint Masters. Professional experts like Ma Mo and Li Ran were probably at an even higher level. He gradually understood the concept of the big sects.

After the group landed, they followed the flow of people into Haimen. The road wasn't short. After walking for more than an hour, they arrived at a large plaza. The ground was paved with a black stone. There were a large number of runes on it. With a single glance, one could tell that they were related to runes. Regarding this point, Guo Shier wasn't surprised.

Xuan Ai pointed to a row of houses in the distance and said, "That is the registration place. You will need to change your identity talisman. It is temporary … I will be your guarantor."

There were many disciples of Haimen who invited their good friends from the outside world or invited vagrant professionals to enter the Secret Realm to complete their own missions. Therefore, the registration place was very lively with people coming and going, calling out to their friends. It was very noisy. Xuan Ai explained, "Even without the introduction of a disciple of a sect, vagrant professionals who come to train can also enter the Secret Realm. Of course, they won't be able to obtain any rewards. Many people come here purely to kill mutated rune beasts to obtain some materials. Haimen doesn't forbid them from entering."

Guo Shier sighed in his heart, "What a big move. Only a big sect with a deep foundation can have such a big move." He asked, "Then … can the disciples of other sects also enter your Secret Realm?"

Xuan Ai smiled and waved his hand, "How is that possible? That is absolutely impossible. Unless the sects that are in alliance with us have some kind of deal with each other. If their disciples apply, they can enter. Apart from that, no other sect's professionals are allowed to enter the Secret Realm. If they sneak in … and are found out, they will be killed. Every year, there are people like this who are killed. "

Guo Shier said, "So that is how it is."

Xuan Ai said, "We are here. Follow me."

With Xuan Ai as a guarantor, Guo Shier and the others successfully exchanged for identity cards. This way, they could move around in the outer circle of Haimen. With this identity card, they could not enter the inner circle of Haimen. They could only move around in the outer circle of residential areas. However, they could enter the Secret Realm.

Xuan Ai said, "We will directly enter the Secret Realm. I have bought a small courtyard there. Everyone can live there. There is no need to stay in an inn."

Guo Shier asked, "How far is it to the Secret Realm?"

Xuan Ai smiled and said, "Not far and not near. We can take a flying car. It will only take about an hour to enter the Secret Realm. There is no need to hurry."

The few of them arrived at the flying car park, where dozens of large flying cars were parked. Each flying car could carry about two hundred people, and once the car was full, it would start up. Xuan Ai did not wait in line. He found a friend and directly led Guo Shier and the others into a flying car. After finding a seat, he smiled and said, "There are three hundred large flying cars here. Every day, a large number of professionals and goods are transported in and out of the Secret Realm."

Not long after, this flying car also began to get passengers. Soon, it was full. Guo Shier felt like he was riding a plane in his previous life. Of course, the equipment in the flying car was much simpler than the planes in his previous life.

In the flying car, the scenery outside could not be seen. After starting up, it was very unstable and bumpy. Fortunately, it did not take long. After about an hour, the flying car landed on the ground. Guo Shier did not even know where the entrance to the Secret Realm was. They had already entered a city.

After getting off the flying car, Guo Shier realized how big this city was. What surprised him was that it was snowing in the Secret Realm. Looking at the heavy snow, he could not help but lament, "I hate snow, I hate the cold!"

Xuan Ai smiled and said, "It's fine. The winter in the Secret Realm is about to pass. In a month at most, the weather will start to warm up. We also need to rest for a month or so before we go hunting."

Guo Shier said, "That's more like it."

The flying car landed in a large square in the east of the city. There were many large flying cars lined up there. Following the flow of people out of the square, Guo Shier asked, "Is your place far away?"

Xuan Ai said, "It's not far. My place isn't very good, but it's much better than many outsiders'. It's near the flying car park. Walking there … it's only a meal's time."

Turning from the main street into a small alley, they soon arrived at a small door. Walking in, it looked a bit like a courtyard house that Guo Shier had seen in his previous life. There were houses on all four sides, and there was a small courtyard in the middle. Just as Guo Shier and the others entered the courtyard, they saw a person standing in the courtyard, smiling at them.

Guo Shier recognized him. This person was Pang Guang, who was Xuan Ai's partner at sea. He was a Great Talisman Martial Master and also an inner disciple of Haimen.

Xuan Ai asked, "Old Pang, did you get it?"

Pang Guang smiled and said, "Yes, a total of three hunting talismans."

Xuan Ai said, "Shier, Old Pang will stay here and be in charge of handling the mutated talisman beasts we hunted. They can follow him and help him handle it. Only the three of us will go hunting. The others will stay in the city."

Guo Shier asked, "What is a hunting talisman?"

Without waiting for Xuan Ai to answer, Pang Guang said, "A hunting talisman … as long as you are a professional participating in the mission, you have to receive it. In Qing City, this is also a symbol of your identity. More importantly, when you are hunting, every time you kill a mutated talisman beast, the hunting talisman will absorb a trace of the beast's soul. This way, your contribution will be recorded, and others will not be able to steal it. Even if someone snatches the corpse of the mutated talisman beast, the result will not change."

Xuan Ai said, "Yes, this is a guarantee of fairness. Otherwise, we will not be able to calculate your reward."

Guo Shier nodded and said, "That's not bad." He secretly admired Xuan Ai. As expected of a sect from a high level continent. This method protected the interests of professionals to the greatest extent.

Xuan Ai said, "I will have to trouble the two of you. You are considered my assistants. When calculating the reward, you will be at a slight disadvantage."

Guo Shier didn't care and said, "I don't care. I am already very satisfied to be able to find such a Secret Territory."

Xuan Ai said, "That's good. The main thing is the contribution to the sect. Some of it will be given to Pang Guang. He is our chief logistics officer. There are a lot of things that we need him to deal with."

Guo Shier didn't have any objection. Falconer also didn't have any objection. Luo Zhan asked, "Can I follow you to kill mutated talisman beasts?"
