...
The name Blood Shadow City did not come from nowhere, and it was closely related to the layout and construction of the city.
Generally speaking, the construction of a city was mainly based on the four directions. It would be divided into four gates: east, west, south, and north. Above the four gates, there would be walls to facilitate communication and defense from the four directions.
However, the Blood Shadow City was an exception.
If one were to describe the Blood Shadow City, it would be that it was a huge fortress built purely for war. It could only be seen from afar, but not seen from up close.
But now...
There was a young man standing on the walls of the Blood Shadow City. He was looking into the distance, and his blue robe fluttered in the wind.
From his expression, the young man was clearly shocked.
In fact, anyone who saw such an ancient city would be shocked. This was because this was a huge ancient city that covered an entire mountain.
Circular.
Starting from the outermost foot of the mountain, a huge wall made of pitch-black stones surrounded the entire mountain in an incomparably huge circle.
Extending half a kilometer into this city wall, there was another huge circular city wall. However, this city wall was two meters higher than the outermost city wall.
The trees were lush, and the city wall was tall.
However, this was not the end.
According to this distance, circle after circle of circular city walls extended from the outside to the inside. The circular city walls were like water ripples, and with every circle inwards, the height would increase by two meters.
"What a miracle!" The young man exclaimed as he looked at the Blood Shadow City that was growing taller and taller. It looked like a huge "pyramid".
No wonder it was named Blood Shadow City.
When the young man looked at the red flags standing among the trees on the circular city wall that were fluttering in the strong wind, he truly felt that there were blood-red shadows everywhere in his heart.
Of course, the most spectacular thing was the "scar" beneath his feet.
It was a mark that extended from the outermost city wall all the way to the innermost city wall. It was a straight line that cut through the entire Blood Shadow City.
The young man looked at the hastily mended "scar" in shock.
This was because...
It shouldn't take too much effort to completely erase this trace, especially when compared to the construction of such a huge ancient city. It couldn't be any easier.
However, this scar was left behind.
It was extremely eye-catching.
"Seems like it's left as a warning for the future generations?" The young man nodded subconsciously. He was now certain of a few things.
First of all, the Blood Shadow City was built on a mountain. The mountain was not very tall, but it covered a large area. There were four huge gates on the outer city walls.
After passing through the outermost city gate, the second city wall also had four city gates.
But …
Its position was not in a straight line with the outermost city gate. Instead, it was staggered in a unique way. This method imperceptibly increased the time it would take for a person to enter from the outermost city wall to the center city wall.
From a convenient point of view, it was definitely unreasonable.
Then, there was only one possibility for Demon Blood to build like this. This was a hidden defensive method!
There were two possible rules for this method of defense. One was to divide it according to the clans. For example, every clan had different rules for entering the city.
Of course, they could also be divided into different classes.
The second possibility was that such an arrangement contained some kind of special array formation.
If it was a little more complicated, it would contain both possibilities.
In that case, it would be very troublesome to enter the innermost city from the outside. That was because one would have to follow a specific "rule" and successfully pass through the layers of guards.
No wonder …
That person's method was to split the Blood Shadow City apart. Indeed, it was not easy to enter an ancient city like this.
Moreover, once one entered, it would not be easy to get out.
Just as he was thinking about this, a shout sounded from behind him. It was a voice that was clearly filled with surprise and astonishment.
"Don't move, turn around slowly!"
To the Demon soldier who was guarding the outermost perimeter of the Blood Shadow City, there was nothing more shocking than seeing a young man standing on the city wall with his hands behind his back and enjoying the scenery.
Which clan did this relative come to the Blood Shadow City to visit his relatives?
Did he not even know the rules of the Blood Shadow City?
The Demon soldier gripped his spear tightly. The main reason why he did not use his hands was that this fellow looked too relaxed. It was as though he was standing on the wall of his own home.
This meant that he had to find out who this person was.
At this moment, the young man obediently turned around and curled his lips. He looked as though he had been disturbed.
The Demon soldier's grip on his spear loosened.
This was because he saw the glowing Demon Eye on the young man's forehead. Since there was a Demon Eye, he was sure that this person was a Demon.
However …
Why did the Demon Eye on the young man's forehead look so strange?
Wait a minute.
Purple … Purple Demon Eye?!
The Demon soldier was stunned. He had been guarding the outermost city gate for more than a decade and had seen too many strange things.
However, he had never felt like vomiting blood like he did today.
"Spy … spy! Catch … catch the spy! " The Mo soldier's voice clearly trembled slightly. He really could not feel any sense of satisfaction from this mission of seeing through the other's identity.
After all, there was no purple Demon Eye in the Demon Race.
Therefore, this human spy …
Was really weak!
This was the Demon soldier's first thought. His second thought was that he felt a little dizzy, as though someone had knocked his head from behind.
When he turned around, he also saw a figure.
It was a man dressed in a black manservant uniform. His forehead was a little sharp, and there was also a devil eye on his forehead. It was a bright red devil eye.
Most importantly, this man was holding a black metal rod in his hand.
"This person … dares to impersonate a Rebirth State Lord …" The Demon soldier was furious. He could no longer control his body. His vision turned black and he fell to the ground.
"Ah Jiu, how many is this?" The young man looked at the Demon soldier who was foaming at the mouth. He shook his head and turned around again.
"Master Consecrator, this is already the third one today. There's only the north city gate left. Master Consecrator, do you want to continue looking?" The manservant, Su Jiu, immediately replied.
As a lowly person without much power.
Su Jiu had been enjoying his life for the past two years. He was promoted from Huai An County to the River of Trust Province. Then, he became the messenger to contact everyone.
And now …
He followed the master to look at the "scenery".
He had already become a big shot. He had no choice but to stick a red Demon Eye on his forehead to show his status.
"We have seen most of the scenery outside. Let's go in and take a look." The young man looked at the grass that was full of flowers. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Okay." Su Jiu nodded. He was not surprised by the young man's words. He just stuck his head out and moved his lips, as though he wanted to say something.
"Is there anything else?" The young man sensed Su Jiu's expression and asked casually.
"Master, are you really going to wear this purple Demon Eye all the time? From what I know, there is no purple Demon in the Demon Race … "
"You think there is a problem with the purple color?"
"No … no problem!"
"I also think there is no problem. Don't you think that this color is more high profile than the other colors?" The young man nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, it is very … high profile …" Su Jiu nodded as well. His lips moved, but he did not dare to say the last sentence.
High profile!
That was really high profile. No matter where he went, people would be able to tell that he was a spy. If that was not high profile, then what was?! This was the Blood Shadow City!
The capital of the Demon Race, did they have to be so high profile?!
"Okay, let's go in and take a look." The young man looked at the wooden ladder that had been set up. Then, he climbed down.
"Yes!" When Su Jiu saw this scene, he immediately followed up. After the young man got off the ground, he also eagerly followed the ladder down the wall.
…
…
Bai Xing had always thought that his life would not be easy after the battle. However, in reality, nothing out of the ordinary had happened to him in the past year.
He was still the Domain Chief of the Star Domain.
Furthermore, Yun Qingwu had sent a few more Vice Domain Chiefs to the Star Domain to listen to his commands.
This caused Bai Xing to be at a loss for what to do. However, a year had passed and his position was still as stable as a rock.
Yun Qingwu was still Yun Qingwu, and he, Bai Xing, was still Bai Xing.
As one of the Domain Chiefs, Bai Xing's status in the Demon Race was unquestionable. After the battle of the Southern Region a year ago, the Demon Race had been laying low for the past year.
As such, apart from his daily training, Bai Xing would spend most of his time in his residence. He would listen to the guqin, study formations, and practice his sword techniques.
He was not enjoying life.
But at the very least, he could still bear the burden of "stability".
However, right now, Bai Xing felt as though the stability that had accompanied him for a year had been broken.
The one who broke this stability was a young man.
He was dressed in a blue robe. Bai Xing was very familiar with this robe. In fact, he would even dream of it at night.
However …
He had never thought that the young man in the blue robe would appear in his mansion. Moreover, he had appeared in his mansion in broad daylight.
How was this possible?
Bai Xing could not understand what was going on.
Had the Blood Shadow City been breached?
That was impossible. However, if the Blood Shadow City had not been breached, how could this young man appear in his residence in broad daylight?
His residence was located in the third perimeter of the Blood Shadow City!
This was because Bai Xing had to train with the Demon soldiers of the Ten Devilish Domains. That was why it was located in the third perimeter.
Even so …
There was no way an outsider could walk in like this.
Most importantly, there was a demonic eye on his forehead. A demonic eye that glowed with a purple light. A purple demonic eye?
What the hell!
Bai Xing felt as though he had seen a ghost. He had heard that there had been no news of this fella for a year.
It was as though he had disappeared from the world.
A person who had disappeared for a year had suddenly appeared in his residence. Furthermore, there was a purple demonic eye on his forehead. If this was not a ghost, what was it?
Bai Xing rubbed his eyes …
Then, he realized that the young man in front of him was still standing there quietly. Furthermore, he was smiling brightly at him.
"Fang Zhengzhi?!" Bai Xing was rarely surprised by someone. However, when he saw the face of the youth in front of him, he was truly shocked.
"Mm, it's me." The young man nodded calmly.
"Why … why are you in the Blood Shadow City? And in my residence? "Bai Xing knew that it was a little childish for him to ask such a question.
Because a human had walked into his mansion, the first thing he had to do was to gather the guards in the mansion and then capture this human in one fell swoop.
However …
He did not do that.
He was too curious about Fang Zhengzhi, or rather, everything that had happened to Fang Zhengzhi in the past year.
As such, he could take some time to "talk" with Fang Zhengzhi.
Even if, this is a seemingly extremely dangerous move.
"Would you believe me if I told you that I am here to admire the scenery?" Fang Zhengzhi chuckled as he looked at the decorations in the residence. Then, he found a chair and sat down.
"Admire the scenery? To admire the scenery in the Blood Shadow City? " Bai Xing's eyes glimmered. However, he forced himself to calm down quickly.
"That's right. When I was looking all the way here, I was intending to take a look at the innermost area. But when I passed by here, I saw the two words' Bai Manor 'hanging on the door and the word' Xing 'below it. At that time, I was thinking, is his surname Bai? Another Xing? Could it be Domain Chief Bai? Then, I came in and took a look. Oh, it really is Domain Chief! "Fang Zhengzhi replied very seriously.
"I see." Bai Xing nodded as he squinted. From Fang Zhengzhi's words, he was sure that Fang Zhengzhi had walked in from the front door.
