A few disciples from the Nine Blades Sect tied the Death Toad and Lin Yuan to their horses and left under the cover of the night.
Along the way, everyone looked at these two people from time to time. If they were killed, the Death Toad would be finished.
If they were to make a move now, no one would know. That person from the Yun Nation would probably not care about such a small matter.
"I'm afraid there will be a war in the future. At least the two of them are a fighting force." In the end, the Earth Wheel elder whose face was scratched by Lin Qiaole sighed, and everyone gave up on this idea.
In the wilderness on both sides of the road, a man and a woman hid in the dark and watched this group of people pass by with suspicious expressions.
"How did that coward Lin Yuan end up in the hands of the Nine Blades Sect?" a woman asked in a languid voice.
"Are they chasing after the two people you mentioned?" the man asked.
"Most likely, but the situation is a little strange."
"Are we still going?"
"I'm afraid there's a problem. Go back and find out where the two people from the Nine Blades Sect went."
…
After daybreak, Ren Baqian and the others headed toward the Golden Ring Residence. It would normally take four days to travel from Longshou City to Jici City, but it took them five days.
Along the way, Ren Baqian obtained a lot of useful information from the two people from the Nine Blades Sect.
They knew a lot more than what Ren Baqian had inquired about previously. After all, there were many things that these sects knew, but ordinary people didn't.
The division of power in Tianjing Basin was much more complicated than what he knew from Xi Wanya.
There were more than a dozen powers and hundreds of sects, big and small. Their relationships were intricate and chaotic.
However, there was also an alliance behind them that had been contacting all sides to prepare for an uprising.
This alliance was led by three major powers and eight major sects. Among them, the three major factions were the three biggest factions in Tianjing Basin, and they controlled almost all the cities in Tianjing Basin.
They were the North Alliance, the Southern Metropolis, and the Green Bell Flower.
Among them, the North Alliance was the most powerful, followed by the Southern Metropolis, and the Green Bell Flower was the smallest. However, the internal structure of these three powers was also complicated.
One of the eight major sects was the Golden Ring Residence. Its sphere of influence covered six cities, not the three that Ren Baqian had heard before.
The Golden Ring Residence was the smallest of the eight major sects.
The largest one was called the Spiritual Mountain Sect. It was the largest sect in the Northern Alliance. Its sphere of influence encompassed close to twenty cities. Many of the generals in the Northern Alliance came from the Spiritual Mountain Sect.
In addition, among these eight big sects, there was one that Ren Baqian found rather interesting. It was called the Manxing Pavilion, and it was located within the territory of the Green Bell Flower. It was said that all the members of the pavilion were women, and one of the pavilion masters was called Qingling. From this name, one could guess the relationship between the two parties.
Along the way, Ren Baqian felt more than once that these two people from the Nine Blades Sect were really stupid. They didn't even have the slightest bit of suspicion towards him. They didn't even know his exact identity before telling him everything they knew.
However, thinking about it, it was probably because the Ancient race had never had any outsiders before. The Ancient race and the other races were mutually exclusive. The two of them had never doubted that they would stand on the side of the Ancient race.
In addition, they were too desperate for outside support. They wanted to get out of this cage and take back their original land.
At the thought of this, he felt that they were rather pitiful. Although he was pitiful, he could not pity him.
There was no right or wrong between the two sides. It was just that their positions were different, and they were enemies.
After walking like this for five days, everyone finally arrived at Ji Ci City, where the Golden Ring Residence was located.
After arriving, everyone first found an inn. The Earth Wheel experts from the Nine Blades Sect went to the Golden Ring Residence to deliver the visiting card, while Ren Baqian took Lin Qiaole for a stroll in Ji Ci City.
Ji Ci City was much bigger and more prosperous than Longshou City. The streets were considered well-organized. The lives of the ordinary people here were slightly better than in Longshou City. At the very least, they looked better.
Their clothes were still very old, but they were considered clean and didn't have many patches.
However, they were only slightly better off. The ordinary people were still considered sallow and emaciated.
In general, after visiting these two cities, Ren Baqian roughly understood the living conditions of the remnant citizens of the Hao Nation. Poverty had always surrounded them, and having a full stomach was probably their biggest wish.
In addition, what attracted Ren Baqian was the various shops on both sides of the street.
Whether it was daily necessities like salt or cloth, the prices here were 50% higher than in Lan City.
In addition to those common shops, there were also many unique shops. For example, a bone grinder shop specialized in sharpening bone knives, arrowheads, and other weapons.
Ren Baqian specially went in for a walk and finally bought a bone knife. This kind of bone knife had a very sharp edge and was almost as sharp as an iron knife. Its biggest flaw was its hardness and toughness, which couldn't be compared to iron products. If it were to be chopped by an iron knife, cracks would appear after a few hits.
Some bones had good toughness and hardness and could be made into knives that could be used for a long time. However, these were very expensive and weren't affordable for ordinary people.
"Is that the disciple of the Golden Ring Residence?" Ren Baqian raised his chin at the back of a figure in the crowd in the distance.
From where he stood, he could see the other party. He was carrying a long bone knife with a row of nine golden rings on the back of it. When walking, the golden rings would make a crisp sound when they hit the back of the bone knife.
Previously, Ren Baqian had heard from them that these golden rings were made using a special method. When wielding the bone knife, these golden rings would make an ear-piercing sound that would interfere with the other party's five senses and easily make the other party impatient.
If one were to fight with a disciple of the Golden Ring Residence under the sun, not only would one have to be careful of being disturbed by these golden rings, but they would also have to be careful of the reflection of the light. The Golden Ring Residence had a unique technique. When wielding the knife, these golden rings would reflect the sunlight and form countless light fragments that would interfere with the other party's vision.
With their ears and eyes disrupted by light, it would be difficult for even a Level One Golden Ring Residence disciple to deal with them.
"Yes, Sir," the Nine Blades Sect disciple replied. The Nine Blades Sect disciple replied. This person's name was Liu Xing, and the Earth Wheel elder was called Liu Changmei.
…
While Ren Baqian was strolling around the city, the empress was sitting in the garden in a daze.
Without that person by her side, these days were getting more and more boring. She wasn't even interested in watching television.
Sure enough, it was more interesting when he was around.
In the past, she had always been alone and didn't feel anything. However, after having someone by her side, it was especially easy to feel lonely.
"Has there been any news from him?" the empress asked without raising her head.
"Your Majesty, Sir Ren didn't bring the radio with him this time …" Qing Yuan whispered behind her. After that, she turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Hong Luan. Her eyes were full of smiles as she thought, Sir Ren has only been gone for a few days and Her Majesty already misses him.
The empress sat for a long time before getting up and walking to the candy tree. The candy on the tree was already one-third gone.
At that time, Ren Baqian had solemnly vowed that he would return after finishing the candy.
The empress picked up a pair of scissors and cut off another piece of candy. When she looked again, there was only half of it left.
"If he doesn't return after finishing the candy, I will tie him up and hang him on the tree." The empress raised her eyebrows and thought to herself. She heard that there were 23 ways to tie someone up. She could try all of them.
