Between the Soaring Sky Empire and the Vermillion Bird Empire, there was a region that neither of the two empires could influence. In the middle, there were many small kingdoms with one city and one country.
The so-called one city and one country referred to the fact that the small kingdom only had one city, but it had villages and towns as subordinate territories. It didn't mean that it was a kingdom with only one city.
These things were quite common on the continent, so there were a lot of princesses and princes on the continent. They weren't worth much at all. Cough cough, that was relatively speaking.
In a kingdom like this, there were advantages and disadvantages to living in such a gap.
The advantage was that because of the complicated influence of the various powers, no one dared to attack them. They were always very safe, and at the same time, they could stay on the neutral side and obtain some benefits.
The disadvantage was that they would forever be trapped in these cracks and wouldn't be able to develop. At the very least, their territory wouldn't change for hundreds or even thousands of years.
And in the middle, there was an unknown small kingdom. It was one of these small kingdoms.
To say that it was unknown was really quite unknown. Even the citizens of this kingdom didn't know the name of this small kingdom.
They only knew that this kingdom belonged to one of the 13 Allied Nations, and everyone directly called themselves members of the 13 Allied Nations.
The 13 Allied Nations was an alliance that united all the kingdoms together. This way, they could work together and have a bit more ability to survive on the continent.
This alliance had a history of over a thousand years. Over time, everyone got used to calling it the 13 Allied Nations and ignored the names of the member countries. In the end, even they themselves forgot about themselves.
Everyone forgot the name of this small kingdom, but they knew the name of this city. This was because this name was a bit special. It was called Heaven Nine City!
Heaven Nine, wasn't it just Heaven Nine Tiles? Was that so?
You have to ask the person who founded this city and this kingdom. Legend has it that he was born as a hooligan, and his favorite game was Heaven Nine Cards, so he was named this. If it wasn't for someone objecting, he might have directly called this kingdom Heaven Nine Country.
Of course, this was only a legend. After so long, no one knew whether it was true or not. Perhaps this was just a legend!
Whether it was a legend or a fact, no one would care about such a small kingdom. Many people came here as passersby.
This time, there seemed to be another group of passers-by hurriedly passing by …
This group of passersby was a bit special. It seemed that none of them were simple characters. Although they looked a bit travel-worn, the temperament they exuded made people feel that they were not ordinary people.
Normally, it was already very rare for such a person to appear here. But now, there were so many of them. This made people feel a little confused.
Of course, this temperament was just a feeling, and ordinary people would not care about it. However, among this group of people, the men were handsome and mighty, and the women were beautiful and noble. Even ordinary people could see that this group of people was not ordinary.
This group of people was none other than Leaf Rain and the others. They had spent almost a month to reach this place. During this time, they had encountered some big or small troubles, so it took them a little longer than normal.
Perhaps it was also because they had intentionally slowed down their pace, as if they wanted to wait for Ye Lang to catch up, but Ye Lang had never caught up to them!
Moreover, they had some confidence in their own abilities, or it could be said that they understood the power layout of the Soaring Sky Empire too well. They knew that after leaving the Soaring Sky Empire, they were actually safe and would not be trapped again.
"After this place, we will enter the territory of the Vermillion Bird Empire. That way, we can basically sleep peacefully!" Ye Chengtian looked ahead and said thoughtfully.
"Let's find a place to rest. Everyone has been rushing for so long, they must be tired!" Long Anqi also had an idea. The closer they were to the Vermillion Bird Empire, the more afraid she was.
This kind of fear was the kind of fear that came back home, but did not dare to enter the house!
It had been so many years, and she had never returned home, nor had she seen her parents and relatives. If she were to face this now, she would naturally feel a little uneasy and uncomfortable.
"Sigh …" Long Anqi sighed. However, Leaf Rain, who was standing next to her, also had the same action. The expressions and movements of the mother and daughter were almost exactly the same.
"… Little Yu, what's wrong? Are you thinking about your brother again? " Long Anqi understood that other than Ye Lang, there was almost nothing else that could make Leaf Rain act like this.
"Yes, it's been almost a month, and there is still no news at all. Do you think that brother has been captured and brought back?" Leaf Rain asked with some worry. Although she believed in Ye Lang, she could not help but think too much. This was a girl's, no, it should be said that this was human nature.
"It's fine even if he is captured and brought back. I believe that the current Empress should be begging him a little more." Ye Yi said indifferently, "And as long as he is fine, then he must have a way to escape. There is no doubt about this!"
"I'm not worried that he can't escape. I'm worried that Eighth Sister might go crazy and do something frightening!" The Seventh Princess was very worried. Towards her Eighth Sister, she was already completely unfamiliar. She was no longer the gentle and obedient Eighth Sister she knew in the past.
"Actually, you should believe in Thirteen. Don't be fooled by his usual muddle-headedness. When it comes to crucial moments, he will definitely not be careless. Previously, I had a feeling that he had a backup plan, which was why he threw the matter to us to deal with. In the end, he really did have a backup plan. He was able to hold back more than a hundred thousand people by himself!" The Third Elder of the Ye Family said. His evaluation of Ye Lang was very high, but this seemed to be the truth.
"Yes! More than a hundred thousand people were held back by him just like that. I don't even understand what that alchemy formation was. How could it have such power! "Ye Chengtian was still reminiscing about the situation at that time. It was something that he would never forget in his life.
"You can ask him in the future. Right now, let's think about our own matters. When we arrive at the Vermillion Bird Empire, how should we deal with the people of the Vermillion Bird Empire? I believe that the Vermillion Bird Empire will definitely rope us in." Ye Yi said with a wave of his hand.
Everyone knew that wherever Ye Yi and his group went, there would be people who would rope them in. Not only because of their extraordinary strength, but also because of their other abilities. These were all things that everyone wanted.
Perhaps this was also the main reason why Zhao Yarou wanted to kill them. She did not want to have these people as enemies. This would give her a headache!
If it was anyone else, they would rather destroy them than let them become other forces' enemies!
