In the center of the Tianhua Domain, White River City.
White River City was a city built on water. For thousands of years, it had been the center of a fierce battle between the Divine Light, Wrath, and Vengeful Domain Emperors.
What was strange was that although White River City had been at war for thousands of years, it had a strange rule. No one was allowed to use force in White River City. Any warrior who entered the city, whether they were soldiers or adventurers, would agree to this rule. In the city, people who were enemies could sit at the same table and eat together. Once out of the city, they could immediately fight each other and kill each other.
In this water city that didn't even have a City Lord, it was a miracle that the war filled with blood and anger could be avoided!
White River City could be said to be the safest place in the entire Tianhua Domain.
However, White River outside the city.
It was the most terrifying place in the Tianhua Domain.
Who knew how many corpses of soldiers and adventurers were buried underneath. If it wasn't for the deep White River blocking the way, the pile of corpses from thousands of years of battle would have been even higher than the famous Hanging Mountain Range in the Tianhua Region!
Anyone who had visited White River City would understand that the White River was not a river. Rather, it was a boundless inland sea.
This inland sea, which submerged one-third of the land of the Tianhua Region, was named the White River because of the strange milky white haze on the surface of the sea. It was even said that there was a "hidden fog" that could devour all things. The depth of the White River was unfathomable. Even if the entire floating continent fell into it, it would not be visible at all. Originally, there had been several countries and nearly a thousand cities on the floating continent. Now, only the several hundred extremely tall peaks of the Hanging Mountain Range remained. They had become pitiful little islands, and later generations had built cities on them.
In the hazy sky, a long and narrow crescent-shaped merchant ship sailed over.
From its deep waterline and bulging sails, one could tell that it was a supply ship, but no one knew which faction it belonged to. Because of the rumor that the Divine Light Domain Emperor and Wrath Domain Emperor had died in battle, and the Vengeful Domain Emperor had exiled himself, the Tianhua Domain seemed to be taken over by a nameless woman, Sky Law. The chaotic situation made all the merchant ships that came to White River lower their flags.
They didn't even know if their Lord was dead or alive, and they still continued to fight for him?
Wasn't that ridiculous?
"Welcome to White River City! You are safe now!" Old Anchor, who was standing at the east gate pier, shouted loudly. He took the giant steel cable anchor thrown over from the ship and skillfully wrapped it around the huge steel pier of the pier.
The first thing the dockworkers did was to greet and comfort the outsiders. This was the rule of White River City.
No one knew when this rule had come into existence, but it had been passed down for thousands of years. In the end, it had become a specialty of White River City.
Old Anchor was the best dockworker here, second to none.
He worked here for hundreds of years.
Knew everything like the back of his hand.
It was said that he had led the boats of Divine Light, Wrath, and Vengeance, three Region Emperors. Other than him, who was the most senior, no one else had such an honor.
"Aiya, Master actually has tips." Old Iron Anchor collected the money as usual. Then, he noticed that the fat toad in glamorous clothes took out another small bag of money. He immediately shrugged and said, "It seems that you are trying to get top secret information from me again!"
"I will only ask three simple questions. After I ask, as long as you answer them honestly, whether you can answer them or not, it will be yours." The fat toad merchant smiled.
He shook the bag of money, enticing Old Anchor.
Old Anchor pretended to be drooling, waiting for the other party's eyes to shine with success. Then, he suddenly put on a serious expression. "I'm sorry, but can I refuse?"
His companions were already used to this kind of teasing of foreign merchants. One of them, who was covered in hair and looked like a gorilla, pounded his chest hard, as if he couldn't laugh happily if he didn't do it. "Foreigner, put away your foolishness! In front of our Boss Anchor, money is completely useless. Do you think he will succumb to you and become a poor slave to money? He will only succumb to good wine. In this world, only the Liquor Worm can defeat him! Hahahaha … "
Another prawn-like fellow with eyes on the top of his head waved his slender arms and pretended to be serious as he advised, "It's not that I want to talk too much, but rich foreigner, in White River City, you can do anything. Even if you make money like crazy, even if you empty everyone's wallet, you will still be fine. But if you know too many secrets that you shouldn't … "
"You're right. I was just about to kindly remind you, dear Master, that here, the ignorant are the safest!" Old Anchor said and laughed.
"So that's how it is!" The fat toad was not angry at all. He was still smiling.
Instead, it was the two guards beside the fat toad who didn't look too happy.
The fat toad waved his hand. "Feng Ji, Jin Yun, go back and report to Young Master and Madam that we have arrived at White River City."
Someone had already come out of the cabin.
It was Yue Yang and Sky Law and Southern Demon King, who were wearing a cloak and veil to hide their beautiful figures. Unlike the two of them, Liu Ye still maintained her original appearance. She accompanied Yue Yang, her beautiful big eyes rolling around, constantly looking around, curious about everything.
Those who didn't know would definitely mistake her for Yue Yang's maid.
The fat toad was naturally Jia De, the big profiteer, Yue Yang's number one money-making expert. He was even better than the slick Bao Gu.
The guards in front were Feng Ji and Jin Yun, and behind them were the surrendered trio, Zhong Guan, Hei Tu, and Bai Ma.
Hua Ban and Fei Huang were left in the cabin to watch the goods. Of course, there were also the Barbarian Bull brothers who couldn't walk as long as they had food and drink. Although Gray Wolf was also gluttonous, he was definitely not as unrestrained as the two brothers. He was absolutely outstanding as a watchdog. As soon as Yue Yang went out, he immediately followed. He would never miss the opportunity to show his loyalty.
"Young Master, why don't we take the sedan? It's too humid here." Although Jia De was not a dog, his nose was also very sensitive. He could smell the abnormality in the air. Other than the salty water vapor, there was also a half-hidden smell of blood.
It was like the smell of a bloody battlefield where thousands of people had died. After a few days of rain, there was still the smell left.
Yue Yang was silent.
He, who had the Heaven Eyes Divine Vision, could truly understand.
The smell of blood was definitely not coming from this White River, but from inside White River City.
This smell of blood was not from slaughtering pigs or sheep. Although there were some concealment, most of it was human blood. Yue Yang was very sure of this.
"It should be some kind of blood sacrifice." The Impatiens did not say anything. She directly communicated with Yue Yang and the Southern Demon King through the Soul Ribbon and told them her judgment.
"Looks like this White River City is really a dangerous place. It is not as peaceful and stable as the rumors say! Blood sacrifice, what do we need to open that requires a blood sacrifice? The Water God Palace, or some other ancient ruins? " The Southern Demon King was not someone to be trifled with. It must be known that other than Xue Wuxia, the Princess Sissi had the most respect for this Eastern Goblin Tribe Princess.
"They must have received the news that the Divine Light and Wrath Region Emperors had died in battle, and the Vengeful Region Emperor had left Tianhua Region. It was impossible to say that the people in White River City had nothing to do with the Central Shrine. They should know that the Sun King had plotted against the three Region Emperors, but they were not the Sun King's subordinates … They only did this after the Sun King had set up the trap. It could be seen that if they were the Sun King's subordinates, they would have sacrificed their blood without hesitation, and would not have waited until now. As for whether these people are related to the new Water Temple Master Azure Dragon, it is still unclear … Let's go in and take a look. The White River City is really an interesting place, with just the dock laborers having the hidden power of Heaven Rank Level 6! " Yue Yang's face was covered with a new silver mask. He did not show it on the surface and only communicated with the Impatiens and the Southern Demon King through his consciousness.
As for Liu Ye, the less this girl knew, the better.
Because she was too innocent, she was a person who could not hide her thoughts. As long as others looked at her face, they would be able to understand. Therefore, it was best not to tell her anything, and only arrange for her to do it when the time was right.
Yue Yang did not look at the Old Anchor who was pouring wine into his mouth. He just walked forward and led the way.
However, the Impatiens and the Southern Demon King understood the hidden expert he was talking about.
It was this old drunkard.
The fat toad Jia De was good at doing business, but he could not see through people's hidden strength. Among the guards, only Jin Yun, who was known as the Fiery Eye, looked at the Old Anchor in confusion, shook his head, and finally gave up on his suspicions. Even the Impatiens and the Southern Demon King could only see through Old Anchor's hidden strength, but could not accurately judge the Old Anchor's strength. He was not someone a guard of Jin Yun's level could see through, even if he was called the Fiery Eye!
As Yue Yang and the others walked over, the Old Anchor who was pouring wine into his mouth suddenly put down the bottle in his hand. His drunken eyes became extremely sober as he stared at the back of the Impatiens, as if trying to judge something.
"What's wrong? Just a bunch of small merchants. There are dozens of ships like them every day," the protruding lobster-like man asked.
"Apart from the woman in the middle who has some strength, the rest are all Earth-class, not worth mentioning." The gorilla was no longer as boorish as it had been before. It was more like a meticulous fellow.
"The woman in the middle is definitely stronger than I am." The Old Anchor sneered. "As for that young man, he doesn't look strong, like a gigolo who lives off a woman, but I feel something's not right. Before those big things are about to succeed, there can be no mistakes. Everyone must be on high alert, and not let anything go wrong. If there's a chance, send someone to find out why they're here. If they're here for business, then we'll welcome them with open arms, but if they're here for something else, then it's best to … "
"Let's send Floater. That kid's definitely a smart one," the protruding lobster-like man suggested.
"I hope these people are real merchants!" Old Anchor sighed softly. His sparkling eyes dimmed, and his imposing manner receded. He returned to being an old drunkard who led a befuddled life. He gulped down the rest of the wine from the bottle in his hand.
In the distance, a few merchant ships, their waterlines almost touching the sides of their ships, broke through the smoke and sailed heavily towards White River City.
The Old Anchor waved his large, rough hand.
Everyone returned to being a bunch of dockworkers who reeked of alcohol, rushing to greet the ships. "Welcome to White River City! You're safe!"
