Time was up.
Seven days passed quickly.
The City Lord personally led the team, escorted by the City Guard.
There were four more teams.
They set off in an orderly fashion.
Of course, there was one more person this time, because there was one more person, Sunset Cang Yu.
She was now a member of the Water Phoenix Mercenary Group.
She was one of Lan Yuan's people, and Lan Yuan was Xiatian's wife.
Hence, the City Lord naturally had to give her face.
After all, one more person wouldn't cost much.
However, the City Lord didn't like Sunset Cang Yu. After all, the Sunset Family was destroyed by his people.
The current Sunset Cang Yu was completely different from before. Now, her face was filled with determination. She had seen with her own eyes how realistic the people of this world were. At first, it was Sunset 13, then it was her younger brother.
In the end, it was the fate of ordinary people like her.
Sunset 13 led people to kill her entire family, and her younger sister was already dead.
At that time, she still wanted to save her younger sister, because her younger sister was in another city. However, she received news that her younger sister's Sunset Family branch had all been killed.
Although she hated, she didn't hate others. She hated herself.
She knew that the Sunset Family was a family that had been abandoned by time.
The reason why the Sunset Family was where it was today was because of the elders of the Sunset Family. All this time, the Sunset Family didn't have a family head, because the elders wanted to dominate.
After the elders gained power, they only thought about their own interests.
"The Sunset Family deserves to be destroyed." Sunset Cang Yu shook her head helplessly.
Her life wasn't her own now, it was Lan Yuan's. She knew that if Lan Yuan hadn't appeared, she would have suffered a fate worse than death. Sunset 13 wouldn't have let her go even after she died. Sunset Firmament was an animal.
Hence, what she had to do now was follow Lan Yuan.
These days, the road wasn't smooth. Xiatian fully saw the state of a weak country without diplomacy. Xin Du was relatively weak outside, so in other cities, they didn't get the respect they deserved. Even the City Lords of other cities would deliberately make things difficult for them.
For example, when they took the teleportation array, they would say that the teleportation array was broken today and could not be used. They would need to wait for a few days. Then, after waiting for a few days, they would line up. There would be many people in front of them. The other party's explanation was that the teleportation array was broken for a few days. Naturally, there would be many people lining up.
Even the City Lord's Mansion's Teleportation Array had queues.
This kind of thing was simply a lie. Moreover, it was fine if the teleportation array of one city was destroyed, but almost all the teleportation arrays of the cities they passed by were destroyed.
The routine was almost exactly the same.
In the end, their team finally arrived at the capital of the Secret Wilderness.
The Heavenly Spirit Continent was now divided into three top-notch countries, twelve superpowers, one hundred great countries, and the vassal states and small countries.
The Secret Wilderness that Xiatian was currently in was within the borders of one of the twelve superpowers, the Flame Empire.
The Secret Wilderness was divided into ten prefectures.
Sky Prefecture, Earth Prefecture, Zhong Prefecture, Xin Prefecture, Yi Prefecture, Li Prefecture, Ren Prefecture, Xiao Prefecture, Jian Prefecture, and Qin Prefecture.
As for the Secret Wilderness, it could be considered a major force in the entire Fiery Land.
Because the Secret Wilderness was the border of the Flame Empire, if it was not for the huge forest in the middle, the Secret Wilderness would not be in such a predicament. Because of this, it would be even easier for the Flame Empire to send experts over to support them.
"This is the capital of the Secret Wilderness." Xiatian looked around.
There were so many people here.
And there were all kinds of people everywhere.
"En, the Secret Wilderness's capital is a hundred times bigger than our Xin Du. The stable population here is three hundred million people, and the temporary population is five hundred million. In total, there are eight hundred million people. But in reality, there are one billion people here." The City Lord of Xin Du said.
"One billion people, that's a lot." Xiatian tried to imagine. Even if one billion people were to stand in line, it would still be a huge number.
Eh!
Just then, Xiatian suddenly saw something like a television.
But this was jade.
There were many jade televisions on both sides of the street.
The television was also broadcasting some battle scenes.
"These are Heaven's Eyes, very popular in the Secret Wilderness. The battles that are being broadcasted now are the battles of famous people. Of course, most of them are used to praise the Secret Wilderness' City Lord and those generals. They also praise the Flame Empire." The City Lord of Xin Du explained.
"Oh, to put it simply, it's brainwashing." Xiatian said.
"That's right. Xin Du is so big. If we only rely on violence to manage it, it would be very difficult to manage it comprehensively. So, the management method here is based on faith and the goal." The City Lord of Xin Du said. He had been chatting with Xiatian along the way.
It was as if he was serving Xiatian alone.
Xiatian was the same. He had a good chat with the City Lord.
After all, it was good to have the City Lord as a guide.
However, Xiatian also understood that it would be very difficult for him to become friends with the City Lord. This was because the City Lord's thoughts were too heavy. He was a ruthless person. For his goal, he would probably abandon everything.
Of course, he was different from the elders of the Luori family.
Those elders were selfish. They had no goals, no beliefs, only greed.
And this City Lord had great ambitions.
"There are a lot of magical things here. Of course, there are also underground fights. That is a good way to get rich, but it is also a good place to die. Generally, no matter what kind of people get involved in that kind of place, they will die very miserably in the end." The City Lord joked.
"It's like gambling. If you get involved, you will die." Xiatian was very clear about the underground fights.
Even if you were very strong and won a few rounds, there would be people stronger than you. Moreover, it was impossible for your body to always be in the best condition. The more you fight, the greedier you will become, the more confident you will become. In the end, you will die very miserably.
"Such a big city is naturally very developed. It has everything. Of course, it doesn't lack people who are just waiting to die. Of course, don't underestimate the experts here. All the experts in the Secret Wilderness are gathered here. Take A Madman for example. He is definitely the number one expert in Xin Du, but here, he is very ordinary. Of course, with his ability and means, he won't be bad here." The City Lord said.
"By the way, which family does the envoy belong to?" Xiatian directly asked.
