Looking at Yu Shi Man's confident face, Xing Jue's expression was filled with smiles. However, he couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart. This was because Xing Jue discovered that there was something else about Yu Shiman that made him feel uncomfortable. It was ambition.
Although Yu Shiman was still very kind and friendly to Xing Jue, she always made Xing Jue feel inexplicably uneasy. Moreover, he knew that this seemingly gentle Yu Shiman, who was even gentler than a few years ago, was no longer the barbaric and pure Yu Shiman from before.
The rhinoceros was not slow to begin with. Even if it was not as fast as a Battle-King, it was not too far off. Therefore, while Xing Jue and Yu Shiman were chatting, they had already arrived at the Union Palace.
The Union Palace was an extremely large city. Rather than calling it a city, it was more appropriate to call it a country. This was because the Union Palace could easily accommodate tens of millions of people.
The gate of the Union Palace headquarters was a hundred meters wide and a thousand meters tall. It could accommodate thousands of people walking side by side. In front of the gate, there were two rows of golden human statues. The shape of the golden statues was somewhat similar to the guards of the Silver-Armored Troops. However, the shining golden statues in front of him reminded Xing Jue of the Golden Armored Troops formed by Battle-Emperors.
Along the way, Xing Jue discovered that not only were there two armored guards standing guard at the gate of the Union Palace headquarters, but within the headquarters, there were also neat groups of guards patrolling back and forth. Although they were not as strong as the Silver-Armored Troops, they were not weak either.
However, what surprised Xing Jue the most was that, apart from the members of the Union Palace, there were actually many children playing happily in the Union Palace headquarters.
Furthermore, they were accompanied by an old man who was at the Combat King level. This caused Xing Jue to think of a somewhat distant yet familiar term, "New Blood."
"Big Brother Xing Jue, they're the new blood of our alliance. They're all talented children carefully selected from all over the inner region of the Domain of Towering Heaven. After special training, they'll all become powerful guards of our alliance in the future.
Seeing that Xing Jue seemed to be very interested in these children, Yu Shi Man explained with a smile, "Actually, many of the guards in the Silver-Armored Corps were my and big sister's childhood playmates."
"He really is a new blood, huh? How nostalgic. " Seeing that it was indeed as he had guessed, Xing Jue could not help but narrow his eyes. A hint of nostalgia appeared on his smiling face.
At the same time, Xing Jue also began to admire the Alliance Palace's methods. From the looks of it, Xing Jue estimated that there were at least ten thousand new blood in the Alliance Palace. Putting aside the fact that these new blood were meticulously selected from over a hundred million people, just the careful guidance of the Battle-Kings was enough to nurture them into powerhouses. At this moment, Xing Jue finally understood why there were so many Battle Emperors and Battle Emperors in the union, and why they were so well-trained to serve the union.
"What? Could it be that Big Brother Xing Jue was also a new blood in another force? "Seeing this, Yu Shi Man asked curiously.
"Yes, I was also a new blood in the past. However, I wasn't in any powerful force, but in a martial arts family in the Eastern Continent." Xing Jue explained with a smile.
"Hehe … Then with Big Brother Xing Jue's talent, you must be one of the best among the new blood in your martial arts family, right?" Yu Shi Man faintly smiled as she imagined Xing Jue's appearance when he was a child.
"Hehe." In response to Yu Shi Man's question, the corner of Xing Jue's mouth curled up into a smile, but he did not say anything.
After witnessing such a grand scene in the union, how could Xing Jue have the nerve to mention the past? However, Xing Jue was confident that if he could grow in the union, and his talent was not sealed, it would not be difficult for him to stand out among the tens of thousands of new blood. In fact, he might even be stronger than he was now. After all, the difference in training between the two was like heaven and earth, and could not be compared.
After entering the headquarters of the union, Xing Jue and the Battle Emperor were arranged to stay in a palace for the time being, waiting for the highest leader of the union to summon them the next day.
After arranging some matters for Yu Shi Man, Xing Jue called Yu Shi Man to the living room, wanting to ask her a few questions.
"What's wrong? Big Brother Xing Jue. "Yu Shi Man impatiently asked after sitting down.
"Xiao Man, that Elder Yu seems to be very concerned about the control of the Great Illusion Formation. You should know the reason, right?" Seeing that Yu Shi Man took the initiative to ask, Xing Jue did not hesitate to ask with a smile.
"It's like this. Big Brother Xing Jue, there is a faction called Gu Daoxuan among the factions under our union. Gu Daoxuan has performed an important battle service for our union some time ago. Therefore, my father is prepared to bestow a piece of land to Gu Daoxuan as a reward."
"The Fenghua Mi City is a place that leader Gu Daoxuan has his eyes on. My father has also agreed to bestow the Fenghua Mi City to Gu Daoxuan as a reward after the auction."
"As for Elder Yu, he is sworn brothers with Gu Daoxuan's leader, Gu Yuan. Therefore, he is naturally very concerned about the control of the Great Illusion Formation."
"Moreover, I heard that Gu Daoxuan's young master, Gu Liang, has already arrived at the headquarters of our union. I believe that he will also participate when my father summons you." Yu Shi Man explained in detail.
"So that's the case. Gu Daoxuan's eyesight is really good." After hearing this, Xing Jue faintly smiled and said.
Not only was the Fenghua Mi City a huge city that could accommodate millions of people, it also had an extremely convenient teleportation tool, the Ancient Teleportation Array. It could be said that there weren't many places like this in the entire inner area.
Furthermore, there was also a perfect Great Illusion Formation within the Fenghua Mi City. Even if they were attacked by powerful enemies in the future, as long as the Great Illusion Formation was activated, it would be able to ensure the safety of their faction.
"Big Brother Xing Jue, when my father summons you tomorrow, he will provide you with a few pieces of land to choose from. Furthermore, he will also dispatch Battle-Kings from our union to your Asura Palace. Therefore, you better take a look at this map of the inner area and choose a piece of land that you are satisfied with tomorrow. "At this moment, Yu Shi Man took out a map and handed it over to Xing Jue.
After receiving the map, Xing Jue first opened it and roughly looked at it. After that, he folded the map and placed it aside.
"Oh right, Xiao Man, do you know about Snow Listening City?" At this moment, Xing Jue asked with a smile.
"Snow Listening City? Big Brother Xing Jue, why are you asking about it? "After hearing Xing Jue's words, Yu Shi Man was startled for a moment, then she asked with a surprised tone.
"I've only heard about it occasionally. I feel that this name is a little special, so I'm curious about this faction. Why? Is this faction very special?" Looking at her question, Xing Jue faintly smiled and said.
"En, Snow Listening City is indeed very special. But that's fine too. Big Brother Xing Jue will learn more about this Snow Listening City sooner or later. Today, I will tell Big Brother Xing Jue about it." At this moment, Yu Shi Man said with a smile.
Seeing this, Xing Jue looked like he was all ears. With regards to Snow Listening City, Xing Jue was a little curious. After all, when he entered the ruins in the future, he might meet the young master of Snow Listening City from a thousand years ago. Therefore, it was necessary to understand a little about Snow Listening City.
"With the current strength of our Union Mansion, we should be able to dominate the entire inner region. At the very least, no faction in the inner region would dare to oppose us. However, Snow Listening City is an exception. In other words, Snow Listening City is a potential threat to our Union Mansion."
"Snow Listening City has been passed down from the era of Magnificent Wind City. It has a long history and a deep foundation. Furthermore, it has been extended to this day in the form of a family. Outsiders simply do not understand the matters of Snow Listening City."
"However, there is no faction in the inner region that dares to easily provoke the people of Snow Listening City. They are indeed very strong, so strong that even our Union Mansion does not dare to rashly take action against them."
"Furthermore, our Union Mansion has found out that although Snow Listening City seems to be low-key on the surface, it is not harmonious on the inside. Due to some unknown special reasons, Snow Listening City has never had a true leader in the past thousand years. Instead, it has been divided into four major factions within the family."
"This is likely the reason why Snow Listening City is so low-key. If they were able to unite internally, they would not be so low-key. They would definitely contend against our Union Mansion's Branch Division and fight for the position of the overlord of the inner region." When Snow's Lament was mentioned, Yu Shiman's face was filled with a grave expression. Clearly, Snow's Lament was a thorn in her heart.
"I never imagined that Snow Listening City would not decline after a thousand years. To think that it would still be so powerful. This is not simple." After hearing Yu Shiman's words, Xing Jue could not help nodding his head.
There were too many factions that had survived a thousand years ago. However, there were practically none that could maintain their prosperity. For example, the Eastern Continent's Yufeng Pavilion, the inner region's Sunset Cloud Valley, and the current overlord of the inner region, the Union Mansion. All of them were once the strongest factions in the entire continent.
However, after the first generation of leaders left, they began to decline. For a faction like the Union Mansion, which was able to take a step back and become the overlord of the inner region, it was already very powerful. Although Snow Listening City did not become one of the top factions, it was still able to maintain its prosperity. This caused Xing Jue to exclaim in admiration.
"Alright, Big Brother Xing Jue, it's getting late. I'll be disturbing you. You should rest early. Tomorrow is the day my father summons you. So, you must rest well. Leave a good impression on my father. This will greatly help the Asura Palace's development in the future. " At this moment, Yu Shiman suddenly stood up and said to Xing Jue. After that, she did not wait for Xing Jue to send her off and walked out of the living room.
After walking out of the living room, Yu Shiman suddenly stopped and said in a mischievous manner, "Oh right, I'll introduce you to my sister. She's a cultivation maniac." After that, she disappeared from Xing Jue's line of sight like a puff of smoke.
"Cultivation maniac?"
After hearing this term, for some reason, Xing Jue felt uneasy from the bottom of his heart. Xing Jue had a feeling that Yu Shiman's sister was even more difficult to deal with than her.
