Every disciple of the Martial School had to complete a mission within a month, even the core disciples were no exception, unless they were approved by the higher-ups.
Fortunately, both Ye Chen and Wu Zongming had completed more than one mission this month, so they did not have to worry about not having enough time. They would be fine even if they came back next month.
The second day.
At the foot of the mountain, the two of them rode on their dark brown horses and galloped towards the northwest direction.
The journey to the Forgotten City was twenty-eight thousand miles long. On the way, they had to pass through four cities, two mountains and a large plain. The cities were not dangerous, and they could replenish their rations and eat some food. However, the mountains and the plain were never safe places. There were countless demonic beasts, horse gangs and robbers, and there were countless dark martial artists. In the eyes of the bandits, the weaker martial artists were fat sheep, and there was nothing wrong with killing them.
…
The sky was blue and clear, and there were a few white clouds floating in the sky.
On the northwest plain, the cool wind carried a strong smell of blood.
"Hehe, these horse gangs must have thought of us as fat sheep." Wu Zongming used a black cloth to wipe the blood off his long knife and grinned.
Sitting on the horse, Ye Chen looked down at the dead bodies of the horse gangs on the ground. Among the dozens of horse gangs, two fifths of them had been cut in half, and the rest of them had their heads blown off. They died a horrible death, and the blood and flesh stained the grass red.
"There were only two of us, and we were riding on dark brown horses. These horse gangs probably couldn't resist the temptation, and thought of us as chicks."
"You don't say, after knowing that we were the inner disciples of the Sky Cloud Martial School, one guy wanted to run away. It seems like the disciples of the big martial schools are really scary, and they can do whatever they want. However, the dark martial artists are not included in this. They really think of the disciples of the Martial Schools as fat sheep."
Ye Chen nodded. The number of martial artists in the underworld was much less than that of bandits and horse bandits. However, every martial artist in the underworld was an abnormally valiant existence. They were able to fight against the disciples of the big sects. There were some lucky ones among them who had inherited the true teachings of their deceased seniors. In terms of martial skills, they were not at a disadvantage at all. In addition, they had been fighting all year round. Their killing intent could scare ordinary people to death. In terms of momentum, they were much stronger.
Before, they had met a Mid Condensing Reality Realm warrior in the outskirts of the Azure Mountain, who had knocked Wu Zongming off his horse with only one spear attack. If he had thrown out a second spear attack, Wu Zongming would have been dead for sure. Ye Chen would not let that happen, so he killed him with one punch.
"I've heard that the Forgotten City is the largest city in the northwest. It has a length and width of 50 miles, and there are more than 10 million people living there. I wonder what kind of scene it is," Wu Zongming said as he sat back on his horse and looked into the distance.
Hearing him, Ye Chen thought of the world he came from. In the ancient times, a city that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people was already considered not bad. It was nothing compared to the True Spirit Continent. From this point of view, it could be seen how vast the True Spirit Continent was. It was not something that could be imagined.
Pulling the reins, the two of them squeezed the horse's abdomen with their legs and galloped forward.
In the evening, the sun was setting. The sunset glow in the west and the great plain behind them contrasted with each other, creating a beautiful and spectacular scene.
Two teenagers riding on dark brown horses, one on the left and the other on the right, followed the surging crowd and arrived outside of a huge city.
These two people were indeed Ye Chen and Wu Zongming. They had spent one day and two nights to finally cross the northwest plain and arrive at their destination – the Forgotten City.
Behind the crowd, Ye Chen raised his head. The first thing he saw were the three golden characters on the city gate.
"Forgotten City"
Whooo!
Letting out a heavy breath, although Ye Chen had mentally prepared himself, such a huge city still surprised him. It was at least five to six times bigger than the Windy City near the Sky Cloud Martial School. The city gate was thirty-three meters tall, and the city wall was sixty-six meters tall. On top of the city wall, there were groups of fully armed soldiers patrolling back and forth with expressionless faces.
"Here we are." Wu Zongming looked a little tired.
"Yeah! Let's go in. "
Seeing that it was almost their turn, Ye Chen jumped off the horse.
Leading the horse, the two of them walked to the city gate.
There were two rows of armored soldiers standing in front of the city gate. Each of them looked very energetic with their temples bulging. Obviously, they were Mortal Realm Stage 5 or 6 warriors. The leader of the soldiers had even reached Mortal Realm Stage 10, not far from the Condensing Reality Realm.
"One silver per person. If you want to sneak in, you will have to ask the blade in my hand first." The leader of the soldiers was not in charge of collecting the entrance fee, he was staring at the people entering the city.
Wu Zongming curled his lips, "One silver? So expensive. The Windy City only costs fifty copper."
Ye Chen laughed, "You still care about this small amount of money?"
"Of course I don't care about this small amount of money, but it is a lot for the commoners."
"Forgotten City is the biggest city in the Northwest. It is not a good thing to collect a small entrance fee. Everyone wants to go in, and it will be crowded to death." In this aspect, Ye Chen had more foresight than Wu Zongming.
"That's true."
After paying the entrance fee, the two of them entered the city smoothly.
The Forgotten City was indeed the biggest city in the Northwest. As soon as they entered, they were completely shocked. In front of them was a street that was wide enough for dozens of horses to run side by side. The shops on both sides were extremely luxurious, as if they were built with gold. In the distance, there were many tall wooden buildings rising from the ground. Just like Luo City, the Forgotten City also had a tall tower located in the center of the city.
"It's really incredible." Ye Chen shook his head. If the Forgotten City was full of modern high-rise buildings, he would not be so surprised. After all, everything in front of him was built by human beings, without the assistance of any machines. Moreover, in terms of luxury, the Forgotten City could not compete with the modern cities.
…
West of the city.
Xilai Restaurant!
In the private room named Chen.
Ye Chen and Wu Zongming ordered a table of dishes and ate with relish.
"The business of this restaurant is so good. Except for the private rooms, the outside is full. But the food is not bad. It is a hundred times better than dry food. I am going to get sick from eating so much." Warriors all had a large appetite. In just a short while, Wu Zongming had already eaten three servings of food.
Outside the private room, the waiter came in with another plate of dishes.
"You two, this Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity is a gift from our restaurant. Please enjoy."
There were 16 private rooms in the Xilai Restaurant, which were named Sun, Moon, and Stars respectively. Each code had four private rooms, and only the private rooms had precious dishes as gifts. People outside had to pay for them.
Ye Chen asked, "May I ask when the auction of the Northwest Auction House will start?"
The waiter's heart trembled. Those who could participate in the auction were all rich. These two must be the young masters of some big family with extraordinary backgrounds. He immediately said enthusiastically, "Two masters, the auction of the Northwest Auction House will start in two days. You can stay in the Xilai Restaurant."
"So there are still two days. Then wait! This is a tip for you. "Ye Chen threw a piece of silver to the waiter. It was worth ten taels.
"Thank you two masters. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
"Go do your thing!"
Not long after the waiter left, an angry voice came from outside the private room.
"What, all the private rooms are full? Are you kidding me? Do I, Tang Manlou, have to sit and eat with those lowly people?"
"Master Tang, all the private rooms are full. Why don't you wait a little longer? I think some of the masters should have finished eating already." The waiter was terrified.
"Hmph, I will give you ten minutes to clear out a private room. Otherwise, I will hold you responsible."
