"The rise and fall of clans and sects can happen in just a few years."
"When I left home, the Zhu Sect was the weakest of the six major sects in the Extreme Court Imperial City. After all, most of my people were blacksmiths. We had fewer Divine Mortal Cultivators and Dragon Shepherds than the other clans and sects."
"Although I'm not from a side branch, I got into a lot of trouble when I was young, so I don't have much say," Zhu Minglang explained.
Before, Zhu Minglang was like Nan Lingsha in the Nan Family. No one dared to mess with him, and no one could restrain him.
But now, Zhu Minglang felt like he should keep using his skills and be a perfect invisible person.
Of course, as for becoming the overseer of Ancestral Dragon City State, he had to talk to a few elders in his clan who would go to the temple to offer incense for him. This matter should be easily resolved.
"But then again, I remember that the two major academies aren't in the Extreme Court Imperial City. They're in two different capitals …" Zhu Minglang remembered.
He was born in the Imperial City. Although there were two academies in the Imperial City, they weren't the best academies like the Divine Mortal Academy and the Dragon Tamer Academy.
"Could it be that there have been changes in the past few decades?" Duan Changqing frowned.
"Let's go through some cities or capitals along the way and learn more about them," Zhu Minglang said.
They rested for a while in the grassland lake city, bought a map, and prepared enough water for the dragons. Then, they continued west …
The journey was very long, and not all places could be directly flown.
Some deep mountains and forests might be the territory of some powerful Demon Spirits. All creatures that flew over them would be seen as intruders. They had to go around those places, or they would be attacked by the Demon Spirits!
The safest way was to follow the paths between the cities. Those were the safest paths that had been explored by countless people. Even ordinary people would rarely be attacked by wild beasts, let alone demon nests or territories.
Even in the Li Chuan continent, there were some places that Dragon Monarchs couldn't cross, let alone the Extreme Court Continent.
…
After a long journey to the west, Duan Changqing's team had to say goodbye to Zhu Minglang when they arrived at the capital of Rui.
The Dragon Tamer College had moved to the easternmost part of the Polar Court Continent and became the National Academy in the Huan Kingdom.
The Li Chuan Dragon Tamer Academy had to obtain the recognition of the Dragon Tamer Academy as soon as possible. Otherwise, they might be seen as a nondescript faction like the Ancestral Palace and be eradicated by the enforcers of order.
After saying goodbye helplessly, Zhu Minglang was a little reluctant to part with Dean Changqing's Sail Dragon. This Sail Dragon with wings as large as a ship's sail was simply the most perfect flying dragon mount.
It was fast, stable, and could make use of the airflow from the ground to maintain gliding without any physical exertion. As long as it had enough water, it could fly for a day and a night.
Fortunately, the God Wood Qing Holy Dragon had grown up. It could carry Zhu Minglang, Nan Lingsha, and Fang Niannian. Otherwise, they would have had to travel slowly through the cities. Who knew how long it would take to reach Extreme Court?
"Here's the thing. I want to take a risk. If we take this path, we'll reach the next state much faster."
"The troublesome thing is that we have to pass through a Sin City to get here."
Zhu Minglang took out a map and began to redraw the route.
Nan Lingsha looked up and glanced at Zhu Minglang.
She didn't answer. Her meaning couldn't be more obvious.
You decide. Don't discuss it with me.
In the past, Zhu Minglang would have chosen this path without hesitation. Sin City? If anyone was stupid, he would just blow up the city.
However, he was still in his puberty period and had two girls by his side. The City of Sin, as the name suggested, was a gathering place for a group of heretics, including exiles, wanted criminals, traitorous troops, and dark forces.
There were no laws or order in Sin City. Everyone had to rely on their own abilities to survive.
In the end, Zhu Minglang decided to pass through Sin City. After all, the sooner Zhu Men took the oath, the sooner the people of Zulong City would suffer less.
The area within a hundred miles of the City of Sin was also considered ownerless. Not long after they entered, Zhu Minglang and the other two saw two private armies fighting on the main road. It was as if they both wanted to snatch the best equipment from the other …
Bypassing their battlefield, the City of Sin was filled with crooks and honest people. There were many villains. If he wanted to ensure his own survival in this place, the most direct way was to display his strength and tell those who were ready to make trouble that he was not a pushover.
After entering the City of Sin, the streets were filled with merchants selling their stolen goods. They displayed their stolen goods directly and either bartered for other goods or only accepted gold.
"Zhu Minglang, there's a lot of good stuff here. The prices aren't high either!" Fang Niannian's crescent moon eyes lit up. It was as if she didn't take Sin City seriously.
"I need some dragon blood for ink," Nan Lingsha said.
Many people were selling dragon blood, dragon bones, and dragon skin when they walked in.
"Alright, let's take a look around. I'll also get rid of the soul orbs I have …" Zhu Minglang said.
The most attractive thing about Sin City was the items here. Most of them came from illegal sources, so they were usually of good quality and cheap.
Since the Silver Cathaya Holy Dew could be stacked with strengthening feys, it was best to find suitable soul orbs and feys for the Azure Dragon to absorb.
Zhu Minglang still hadn't sold the soul orbs of the Four Heroes of the Zong Palace. The main reason was that there were only a few Dragon Herders in Zulong City. Many unorthodox items weren't easy to circulate.
"Stellar debris crystals collected from the fissure in the east of the Rui Nation. Zhu Minglang, Zhu Minglang, do you see it? It's Little Bai Qi's food!" Fang Niannian said excitedly.
Zhu Minglang looked over and saw that there were indeed people selling such stellar debris crystals. Fang Niannian was indeed his dragon food manager. This place was like a wet market. He could actually find Little Bai Qi's dragon food!
He went up and asked about the price.
It was so high that it was beyond ridiculous. It was no different from holding a knife to a person's neck to snatch money. Just Little White's half a month's worth of high-quality rations was enough for Zhu Minglang to pawn off all the soul beads that he had accumulated.
"It can be cheaper. Let your sister accompany us for a few nights. Tsk, tsk. What a great figure. I haven't seen a lady with such a great figure in a long time. She must be a great beauty. Why does she have to cover her face?" said the bald brothers selling the stellar debris crystals.
"I like her legs. Just looking at them makes me feel hot," said the bald brother.
Fang Niannian was originally there to negotiate with them. She didn't expect them to say such filthy things. She was so angry that her face turned red.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a wave of ink fragrance came from an unknown place. Fang Niannian raised her head, seeing two lines of ink slowly drooping down, hanging down to the back of the necks of the two filthy brothers.
Suddenly, the ink turned into a noose and wrapped around the necks of the brothers, who were still laughing lewdly, and lifted them up.
The two brothers were hanging from the noose like they were trying to commit suicide. They struggled crazily, trying to escape from the noose with all their might, but their necks were getting tighter and tighter!
Zhu Minglang quickly walked over and looked up at the two brothers who were about to die …
Of all the people to mess with, why did they have to mess with this demoness?
Nan Lingsha was also an expert in the Polar Court Continent. Even the forces in the City of Sin might not be able to defeat her.
