Zhao Hai looked at the city wall and couldn't help but frown as he said, "What's going on with this island? Why does it look like it just went through a war? Could it be that someone is attacking the island? "
Sheng Kuang also frowned. At this time, Che Rong, who had been silent all this time, said, "Foster Father, the marks on the wall aren't new. It looks like they were left behind more than ten years ago."
The reason why Che Rong called Zhao Hai Foster Father was because when he was studying under Ding Chunming, Zhao Hai also adopted him. Because of this, Che Rong also called Zhao Hai Foster Father.
Zhao Hai looked at Che Rong and said, "More than ten years ago? Does that mean that someone is still attacking this place? Strange. There's an illusionary killing formation here. Who can attack this place? Let's go inside and take a look. "The two nodded and then followed Zhao Hai into the city.
Before long, Zhao Hai and the others arrived at the city wall. There were several gates on the city wall. Each gate was about ten meters high and seven meters wide. It was very large.
There were no guards at the gate. However, Zhao Hai could feel strong energy fluctuations at the gate. It seems like the gate also had a formation.
Zhao Hai didn't rush to attack. Instead, he sensed the formation at the gate and discovered that it was a defensive formation. However, this defensive formation didn't seem to be used against Cultivators. Instead, it seemed to be used against beasts.
Zhao Hai thought for a moment before he led Sheng Kuang and Che Rong into the city. He wanted to see what was going on with the defensive formation.
However, when Zhao Hai's group of three entered the city, there was no reaction from the gate. It seemed like everything was normal.
Zhao Hai nodded. It seems like his previous guess was right. This formation had a certain ability to identify beasts. It didn't have any reaction to Cultivators.
However, this wasn't a high-level thing. In fact, the identification ability of this array was a kind of identification of energy fluctuations. Whether it was a monster beast or a monster cultivator, the energy fluctuations in their bodies were completely different from that of a human cultivator. So as long as this different energy fluctuation was identified, it could distinguish between a human cultivator and a monster beast.
After entering the city, Zhao Hai's group of three stared. They didn't think that the city would be so lively. The city they were in was actually a barbican. It was a protrusion outside the city. It was the first line of defense against external enemies. It was also the place where the enemy's attack.
Normally, this barbican shouldn't be too big. However, this barbican was huge. People could be seen everywhere in the city. All of these people were Cultivators. On both sides of the street, there were many shops and stalls. The entire barbican was very lively.
People could be seen everywhere on the street. However, no one gave Zhao Hai's group a glance. Zhao Hai's group looked around and noticed the currency used by the people here. They discovered that the currency used here was actually a kind of shell. This shell contained a certain amount of spiritual qi. The style wasn't fixed, as long as it contained spiritual qi.
Zhao Hai had a lot of shells like this, so he just took a look and led Sheng Kuang and Che Rong into the barbican. The two looked around curiously.
Zhao Hai walked forward for a while and saw a tavern. He directly led the two into the tavern. As soon as they entered the tavern, they saw a Cultivator wearing short robes running over. This Cultivator seemed to be around the fourth stage of the Qi Refining Realm. He looked to be in his twenties. He had a white cloth on his shoulder. When he arrived in front of Zhao Hai, he bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Greetings, Sir. Sir, please come in. What would you like to eat?"
Zhao Hai looked at the Cultivator, then he smiled faintly and said, "Four dishes and two jugs of good wine. That's all." While speaking, he followed the waiter to a table in the hall and sat down.
After the waiter asked Zhao Hai's group to sit down, he immediately went to prepare the food and wine for Zhao Hai's group. Zhao Hai looked around the hall, then he lowered his voice and said to Sheng Kuang and Che Rong, "Pay attention to what the people in the hall are saying. Collect some information. We just arrived on this island, so it's not too hot. We need to be extra careful." The two nodded and began to pay attention.
Before long, the waiter brought the food and wine. Zhao Hai's group sat there and ate while chatting. At their level of strength, they only needed to use their spiritual force to pay attention to what the people around them were saying. They didn't need to pay attention.
After eating, Zhao Hai's group left the tavern and went to find a hotel. They booked two rooms, one for Zhao Hai and the other for Sheng Kuang and Che Rong. Then Zhao Hai sent a letter to Wen Wenhai, telling him that he was checking the situation on the island. He also told Wen Wenhai that they didn't need to worry. According to their plan, they needed to take the ocean first. They didn't need to worry about the island.
After giving his orders, Zhao Hai called Sheng Kuang and Che Rong to his room. When the two arrived in the living room, Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Sit down. Tell me, what information did you gather?" Sheng Kuang and Che Rong nodded.
Sheng Kuang was the first to speak, "This island should be very big. Moreover, it's centered around the mountain. According to their words, there should be four layers. If we include the barbican, then there should be five layers. It should be divided into Royal City, Main City, Inner City, Outer City, and Barbican. We're currently in the Barbican. Only low-level cultivators live here. In the Outer City, there should be a group of stronger cultivators. They should be at least at the tenth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, but they shouldn't have reached the Qi Refining Realm yet. The Human City should be where the Qi Refining Realm cultivators live. The Main City should be where the Void Returning Realm cultivators live. As for the Royal City, it should be where the Supreme Elders live."
Che Rong nodded and said, "That should be the case. But if there's an expert in the family, then the family should be able to follow that person and move to the inner city. This is because the further one goes, the safer it will be. Their enemy should be the sea beasts. However, the sea beasts' attack seems to be periodic. It should be about once every 20 years or so. I heard some people say that the sea beasts would attack in a few years. Based on the traces on the city walls, it should be about once every 20 years."
Sheng Kuang nodded and said, "The ones who control this island should be the people who live in the Royal City and the Main City. This influence should be called the Spiritwind Kingdom. It should be a kingdom."
Che Rong nodded and said, "It should be a kingdom. Because of this, there should be an army here. Moreover, the army should be divided into two types, the City Defense Army and the Imperial Guard Army. The City Defense Army is responsible for the defense of the city. As for the Imperial Guard Army, they should be the main army in charge of many things."
Sheng Kuang nodded and said, "The Spiritwind Kingdom should be controlled by some families. The biggest family should be the Feng Family, the Royal Family of the Spiritwind Kingdom."
Che Rong didn't say anything else, he just turned his head to Zhao Hai, wanting to see if Zhao Hai had anything to say. Zhao Hai looked at the two and smiled faintly, "Good, you two did a good job. To be able to analyze so many things in just one meal is really not easy. Hehe, very good, worthy of praise. But regarding this island, I now know what it is. There are records of it in the ancient books of the Sword Spirit Realm." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "You've done well.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Che Rong and Sheng Kuang stared. Then they looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. They didn't understand what Zhao Hai meant. They were currently in the Demon Spirit Realm. How could an island of the Demon Spirit Realm be recorded in the ancient books of the Sword Spirit Realm? How could this be?
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled faintly, "Actually, I've been wondering if this place has anything to do with the Sword Spirit Plane. Now I know that this place is indeed related to the Sword Spirit Plane. Some of the ancient books in the Sword Spirit Plane are now considered legends, legends that were written down by our predecessors. But after coming here today, I suddenly remembered an ancient book that recorded a place that is very similar to this place, the Island of Exile!" Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Actually, I've been wondering since the beginning if this place is related to the Sword Spirit Plane.
Sheng Ke and Che Rong looked at Zhao Hai with puzzlement. They had never heard of this Banished Island. Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and smiled faintly. "I can't blame you for not having heard of it. The story of the Banished Island is recorded in an ancient book called the Spirit Travel Scripture. This ancient book is said to be a fairy tale written by a cultivator in ancient times. It is said to be a fairy tale, but it is not true. In this book, there is a record of the Banished Island. It says that outside Spirit Beast Mountain is a sea called the Boundless Sea. In the Boundless Sea, there is an island. The island is huge and can accommodate hundreds of millions of people. However, because of the Sharp Sword Mountain on the island, it is feared by all beasts. They attack the island all year round, destroying all living things on the island. The Saint then banished the wicked to the island and sealed the island. No beasts can enter the island, and the people on the island cannot leave. The people on the island are called the Banished Island and the Prison Island!"
The Island of Exile! "When Sheng Kuang and Che Rong heard Zhao Hai's words, they couldn't help but stare blankly. Then, their expressions changed. They looked at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai also looked at the two and smiled," Do you believe it now? Isn't the record of the Island of Exile very similar to that of this big island? This is a record from ancient times. I think this island must have been sealed in the past. The sea beasts outside couldn't enter, and the people on the island couldn't leave. But perhaps because too much time had passed, the array on the island had a problem. So every twenty years or so, the array would malfunction. At this time, the sea beasts would attack the island, and the people on the island would have no choice but to defend. This might not be the origin of this city. "
"But Foster Father, how can our Sword Spirit World have records of the Island of Exile? Could it be that someone has been to the Demon Spirit World before? Also, what kind of place is Spirit Beast Mountain? Isn't it said that outside Spirit Beast Mountain is the Boundless Sea and that there's an Island of Exile in the sea? What kind of place is Spirit Beast Mountain? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Spirit Beast Mountain? I think it should be on the Demon Spirit Continent. And this Demon Spirit World might have been a part of our Sword Spirit World in the past!"
