The Divine Needle City wasn't the biggest city in the Dark Soldier Kingdom, nor was it the capital city of the Dark Soldier Kingdom. However, the Divine Needle City was definitely a big city in the Dark Soldier Kingdom. It was also the location of Pan Wan's lair.
The Divine Needle City wasn't this big in the beginning, but because of the Pan Family, the city became this big. The Dark Soldier Kingdom placed great importance on Plant Masters, and because of the Pan Family's presence in the city, the number of people in the city gradually increased. In the end, it became the current Divine Needle City.
The Divine Needle City was a city made of stone. According to the standards of the Saber Spirit Kingdom, the Divine Needle City could only be considered a medium-sized city. However, in the Dark Soldier Kingdom, the Divine Needle City could be considered a big city.
The Divine Needle City was very lively. Every day, a large number of people would come in and out of the city. Some nearby mountain people would also come here to trade for necessities. The reason why the city was so lively was because the transportation here was very convenient. The most convenient thing in the city wasn't the roads, but the water. Next to the city was the largest river in the Dark Soldier Kingdom, the Yalu River. Most of the necessities in the city were transported from the Yalu River.
This Divine Needle City was the same as every day. The city gates opened early in the morning. Even so, the city was already packed with people, waiting to enter the city.
The Divine Needle City had city guards, but they were only responsible for opening the gates. They weren't responsible for collecting taxes. The taxes of the Dark Soldier Kingdom were very low. This was because the mountain people weren't able to pay the high taxes. If they were forced to collect taxes, then the mountain people would cause trouble. Because of this, the taxes of the Dark Soldier Kingdom weren't high.
Pan Yu was one of the city gate officials of the Divine Needle City. Today was his day. It must be said that Pan Yu was a member of the Pan Clan. However, he wasn't a member of the Pan Clan, he was a child of the Pan Clan. The reason why he became a city gate official was to train himself. After he became a city gate official for a period of time, the Pan Clan would have other tasks for him.
Pan Yu actually liked being a city guard. He didn't need to do anything every day. In the morning, he just needed to command his subordinates to open the gates. Then he could do whatever he wanted. At night, he just needed to close the gates on time.
Pan Yu wasn't too ambitious, and he didn't need to be. He was the son of the Pan Family, and his future path had already been decided by his family. He just had to follow it.
However, Pan Yu wasn't an insensible person. He knew that if he didn't work hard, he wouldn't be able to establish himself in the Pan Family in the future. It was true that he was a child of the Pan Family, but the Pan Family had a lot of children. If everyone wanted to rise up, they would have to fight for it.
Although the position of the City Gate Officer didn't seem to be very important, it was still a position that couldn't be underestimated. This was because anyone who wanted to enter the city would have to go through the city gate. You would see all kinds of people at the city gate. Who to pay attention to, and who to be careful of, these were things that needed to be understood from the City Gate Officer.
Although Pan Yu had nothing to do after opening the gates every day, he usually wouldn't walk around. Instead, he would place a table and a pot of tea beside the city gate and sit there for the entire day.
Today was the same. Pan Yu sat beside the city gate and drank a mouthful of hot tea. He glanced at the people who were walking into the city. These people were the nearby mountain people. They were all carrying things and came to the city to exchange for daily necessities. He also knew that only such people would enter the city at this time.
After being the City Gate Officer for a period of time, Pan Yu had already figured out the rules. The first to enter the city would always be the mountain people, followed by some small traveling merchants. The last to enter and leave the city would be the big shots in the city. These big shots would enter and leave the city around 9 o 'clock. The earliest mountain people would usually wait outside the city before dawn.
Therefore, when the city gate was opened, Pan Yu didn't pay much attention to the situation at the city gate. He just sat on the chair and drank his tea. Looking at the busy mountain people, a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.
At this time, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the city gate. This person was carrying a wooden box. Beside him was a big dog. The dog was very fat and had wrinkled skin. It looked a little ferocious, but it also had a different sense of humor.
However, the dog couldn't possibly attract more attention than that person. That person was too tall. He was carrying a wooden box that was commonly used by plant masters. The wooden box seemed to have been used for a long time. The surface of the box was shining with oil.
His clothes were a little tattered, making him look like a beggar. His hair was also very long and messy. However, his eyes were clear and bright, and his aura was very shocking.
When Pan Yu saw this person, he felt that he had heard of this person before. He couldn't help but stand up and carefully stare at that person. Just as he was staring at that person, that person suddenly turned his head. That pair of clear eyes suddenly flashed with an ominous glint. At this moment, Pan Yu suddenly felt like he was being stared at by a fierce tiger. The hair on his body stood up, and cold sweat dripped down his face.
Pan Yu had never seen such an ominous gaze before. However, it was also this gaze that made Pan Yu suddenly think of a person. A person that the Pan Family's servants had all heard of.
Everyone in the Pan Family knew that they had almost suffered a big loss in the Plant Master Conference. A while ago, the Pan Family had sent people to fight the Gu Family to the death. In the end, the Gu Family was taught a lesson. The reason why the Pan Family didn't suffer such a big loss in the Plant Master Conference was mainly because of a person. A person that their Young Master constantly talked about and was now famous throughout the continent.
Giant Demon Crane Grass!
Thinking of this, Pan Yu was even more certain of his guess. This was because Zhao Hai's figure was there for all to see. In this world, there weren't many people who could have such a figure. Pan Yu calmed himself down and immediately ran towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at the City Gate Officer. This officer had been looking at him before, which made him vigilant. Therefore, he gave the person a warning look. However, he didn't expect that the person would actually run towards him. Moreover, the person had an excited expression on his face. Looking at the person's expression, Zhao Hai suddenly had a feeling that the person might be from the Pan Family.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai felt relieved. He quietly stood there and waited for the other party. At this moment, Pan Yu had already arrived in front of Zhao Hai. He didn't say anything as he bowed and said, "I am Pan Yu from the Pan Family. May I ask if you are Mister Crane Grass?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I am."
Pan Yu's excited expression deepened. He immediately gave a big bow and said, "Pan Yu greets Young Master Tian. Young Master Tian, our Young Master Wanjiang has ordered that anyone from the Pan Family must treat Young Master Tian as their own master. I didn't expect Young Master Tian to come to our Divine Needle City today. Is Young Master Tian going to meet Young Master Wanjiang?"
When Zhao Hai heard Pan Yu, he smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I have an appointment with Brother Pan. Therefore, I rushed over. Are you willing to lead the way for me?"
Pan Yu quickly replied, "This is my duty. Young Master Tian, please wait for a moment. I'll give you some instructions before we leave." Zhao Hai nodded. Pan Yu waved his hand and called over a guard. After giving him some instructions, he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master Tian, please follow me." Then he respectfully led the way. Zhao Hai didn't make things difficult for him as he followed behind.
As the two walked forward, Zhao Hai observed the situation inside the Divine Needle City. The Divine Needle City was very prosperous, but compared to the cities of the Saber Spirit Nation, it seemed to lack a trace of wealth.
Pan Yu led Zhao Hai forward for a while before turning into a street. The main street was filled with people. But now, there weren't many people in sight.
Before long, Zhao Hai and the others arrived in front of a decorated archway. The archway was very tall, and there were four words written on it, "Everlasting Noble Servant." Upon seeing these words, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. However, he didn't say anything as he followed Pan Yu inside.
After entering the street, there were even fewer people. Pan Yu led Zhao Hai forward. Just as they entered the archway, they heard footsteps. The footsteps were very urgent. Before long, a group of people arrived in front of Zhao Hai. When the person saw Zhao Hai, he laughed and said, "Brother, you're finally here. Hahaha, great, great." Then the person opened his arms and rushed over. The two of them quickly embraced each other.
The person hugged Zhao Hai tightly before letting go. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother, you're finally here. I've been waiting for a long time. Come, let's go back to the mansion." This person was Pan Wanjiang.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I've made Brother Pan wait for a long time. Let's go."
Pan Wanjiang smiled and said, "It's nothing. Let's go." Then he turned his head to Pan Yu and said, "Pan Yu, you're not bad. You didn't become a gate official in vain. Go back to your post. When you come back in the evening, you can go to the treasury and receive your reward."
When Pan Yu heard Pan Wanjiang's words, his bones felt lighter. He was very clear about the meaning behind Pan Wanjiang's words. Although Pan Wanjiang only said that he was good, this made him very happy. This meant that Pan Wanjiang had remembered him. Pan Yu immediately gave Pan Wanjiang a salute and said, "Many thanks for the Young Master's reward." Then he retreated. As a servant, he knew how to behave. At this time, he couldn't say anything. Otherwise, it would cause Pan Wanjiang to feel disgusted. Because of this, he only said a few words before retreating, leaving Pan Wanjiang and Zhao Hai alone.
At this time, Zhao Hai also greeted the other members of the Pan Family. This time, there were a lot of people who came out with Pan Wanjiang. There were more than 20 people. Among them, there were a few that Zhao Hai had seen in the Plant Master Tournament. But there were also a lot of people that Zhao Hai hadn't seen before. But from the looks of it, they were all disciples of the Pan Family.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Pan Wanjiang led Zhao Hai inside. While walking, Pan Wanjiang said, "Brother, your reputation in the Soul Realm is like the sun at noon. Big Brother is really envious of you." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Brother, your reputation in the Soul Realm is like the sun at noon.
Zhao Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Pan, you're insulting me. What's the use of this reputation? Other than making those fellows think about me, it's useless. You're envious of my reputation? If you want it, then I'll give it to you. "
Pan Wanjiang laughed and said, "Even if I want it, they won't give it to me. This reputation isn't something that you can give just because you want it."
