Fu Zhengqing could not be blamed for being nervous.
He had been guarding the Northwest Garrison for more than thirty years, and today was the first time he had seen so many uninvited seniors.
Damn it, he could not see the depth of their strength at all.
In particular, behind the old lady who was smiling like a chrysanthemum, there was a tiger-headed Beast King, baring his teeth and drooling, looking at him eagerly.
Then, he realized that almost half of the sixteen unfamiliar faces in the training room were King Level Demonic Beasts!
What was this about?
When did the human race and the demon beasts become so harmonious?
Fu Zhengqing swallowed his saliva, feeling as if he had not woken up yet. The dream in front of him was so real!
He could not help but slap himself, and kept calling himself in his heart: Wake up, hey, don't sleep anymore!
However.
It was of no use.
He had not woken up, and the threats in front of him were still there.
"Alright, Territory Lord Fu, stop messing around!" The old lady looked at Fu Zhengqing with a smile, the wrinkles on her face trembling and about to fall off. "It will be dawn in an hour, everyone is waiting for you to open the door!"
Fu Zhengqing was confused. "Open the door? Open what door? "
Completely confused, he did not understand what these people were saying at all.
"Are you pretending to be confused?" The old lady narrowed her eyes. "Of course it's the Domain Gate of the Northwest Garrison! Hasn't the key always been in your hands? "
"Roar! Ji Zhuo, why are you wasting time with him?! " The tiger-faced Beast King behind the old lady roared. "You humans are so troublesome. According to me, you can just tie up this little Territory Lord. Simple and fast, and it won't waste any time!"
The old lady Ji Zhuo suddenly turned her head, her eyes like lightning, and glared at the tiger-headed Beast King. "Hu Qing, watch your words! This is the territory of the human race of the Federation, it's not your turn to show off your strength here! "
"If you dare to speak behind I again, be careful that I will pull out your tiger penis and drink it with wine!"
Hu Qing's face darkened as he growled in a low voice. In the end, he obediently shut his mouth.
Although the fierce nature of spirit beasts was hard to get rid of, and this beast king named Hu Qing was also quite powerful, in front of Ji Zhuo, this old woman, it still wisely chose to swallow its anger.
There was no other reason other than that he couldn't win.
The law of the jungle was the most basic survival rule of the Demonic Beast Clan.
Seeing the old woman turn to look at Fu Zhengqing with a smile on her face, Fu Zhengqing quivered and couldn't help but ask, "Please forgive this junior's poor eyesight, but may I know Senior's name …?"
There were nearly two-hundred human kings and queens. Normally, they were scattered in different areas of the Federation to maintain the peace and stability. Therefore, it was impossible for Fu Zhengqing to recognize every single one of them.
In fact, since he'd advanced into the King Realm and moved into the Northwest Governor's Estate, Fu Zhengqing had very rarely had the chance to go out and wander about the outside world, and the number of King Realm experts he knew could be counted with two hands.
He really hadn't seen this old woman before. Otherwise, he would definitely have an impression of someone with such a unique appearance.
"I am Ji Zhuo, the External Affairs Elder of the Ji Clan in the capital." Ji Zhuo introduced himself unhurriedly.
"Ji Clan in the capital?"
Fu Zhengqing's heart trembled. The Ji Clan, ranked sixth among the top ten clans in the Federation, what a powerful background!
"So it's Elder Ji, this junior greets you!" Fu Zhengqing cupped his hands and bowed to Ji Zhuo, then raised his head and looked at the surrounding people, asking softly, "May I know who these people are? Can you tell me?"
Everyone was silent, and no one responded to Fu Zhengqing.
Fu Zhengqing smiled awkwardly. These people didn't give him any face at all.
Ji Zhuo raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but turn around and glance at the rest of the people, scolding in a low voice, "Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear Territory Leader Fu ask you a question?"
Everyone was in an uproar, and when they looked at Ji Zhuo, their eyes were filled with fear. Finally, people started to introduce themselves one after another.
"Tian Clan in the south of the Jiang Nan, Tian Buqi."
"Wanyao Mountain, Hu Qing."
"Qianfeng Mountain, Big Bear."
"Northeast Yang Clan, Yang Xinzhi."
"…"
Fifteen people, seven people and eight beasts. Fu Zhengqing didn't know any of them, but just listening to their background made him tremble.
Three of the top ten clans in the Federation came, and the other four were not unknown people either. At least, each of them had a more powerful background than the Northwest Guardian Residence.
Also, the foreign beasts had a powerful background, and each of them was a gathering place of the demon race in the Federation's key areas of defense. Especially the Wanyao Mountain, it was rumored that there was an Emperor-level powerhouse guarding it, and its strength was not to be underestimated!
What was going on with these people and beasts?
Logically speaking, these two groups of people should be enemies and hate each other, but why were they gathered in the Northwest Guardian Residence today as if they were good friends?
What were they trying to do?
Fu Zhengqing couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help but ask Ji Zhuo again, "Elder Ji, I didn't quite understand just now. What kind of Domain Gate are you here to open? I've never heard of it before."
Fu Zhengqing was really confused.
He had stayed in the Northwest Guardian Residence for dozens of years, but he had never heard of any Domain Gate, nor had he seen any key. These people and beasts, could it be that there was a mistake?
"What, didn't Monk Hua mention it to you?" Ji Zhuo looked at Fu Zhengqing with a little surprise, "Aren't you good friends? Last night, when he heard you cry for help, he immediately rushed over. Didn't he tell you in advance?"
Fu Zhengqing shook his head blankly. Why did Monk Hua get involved? Could it be that Monk Hua came to the Northwest Guardian Residence in advance not just for this year's enrollment, but for some other purpose?
"Drinking really messes things up. That guy drank a few mouthfuls of horse piss. Could it be that he even forgot what he came to the Northwest for?"
Ji Zhuo shook his head gently, curled his lips, and asked softly, "Where is he? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Obviously.
When Monk Hua was still here, these people didn't dare to easily check the situation in Taikang City, which was good news.
Otherwise, being surrounded by so many powerful people, who were far more powerful than him, was really not something to be happy about. He would feel embarrassed.
"Professor Hua has returned to the capital city for some other business. He said that he will be back in two days..."
"Two days?" Ji Zhuo interrupted Fu Zhengqing and said, "Don't listen to him. Even if he really has something urgent to do, he will definitely be back before dawn today!"
The corner of Fu Zhengqing's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't dare to argue with the old woman.
The distance between the Northwest Guardian Residence and the capital city was more than ten thousand miles. Usually, when they took intercontinental airships, it would take them at least a month to get there.
No matter how powerful Monk Hua was, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to think that he could smoothly go back and forth in one night.
"Elder Ji." Fu Zhengqing asked again, "You still haven't told me why you came to the Northwest Guardian Residence this time."
Seeing so many powerful people who were at or above the seventh level of King level, and all of them had gathered in this small training room of his, Fu Zhengqing was quite nervous. He didn't know what these people wanted to do.
These people were all super powerful people who could destroy the entire Northwest Guardian Residence with a single move. He couldn't afford to offend them at all.
Ji Zhuo seriously looked at Fu Zhengqing from head to toe, then said in a low voice, "It seems that you really don't know anything."
"Do you know about the Land of Spiritual Origin?" Seeing Fu Zhengqing nod, Ji Zhuo continued, "The Land of Spiritual Origin opens every ten years. Every time it opens, a great tide of spiritual power will sweep across the whole world."
"Do you know that on this planet, other than the Land of Spiritual Origin, which is formed when the Land of Spiritual Origin opens, there is another secret land, which also opens every ten years."
"And every time it opens, it will be half a month before the great tide of spiritual power. We call it the Martial Art Secret Land."
Fu Zhengqing showed a confused look.
What did this have to do with the Northwest Guardian Residence?
He had been guarding the Northwest Guardian Residence for nearly forty years, but he had never heard of this so-called Martial Art Secret Land, neither had he ever seen it.
If the Martial Art Secret Land mentioned by Ji Zhuo really opened every ten years, and was located in the Northwest Guardian Residence, Fu Zhengqing should have sensed it.
"Different from the Land of Spiritual Origin, which is always in the same place, the Martial Art Secret Land is carefully designed by a powerful martial artist. The Martial Art Secret Land moves randomly between space cracks on the surface of the planet, and the entrance is always moving."
"I remember that the last time it appeared in the Northwest Guardian Residence was sixty years ago. At that time, Leader Fu hadn't become a king yet, so he didn't have the right to know about it."
Fu Zhengqing was confused, "Since the entrance is random, Elder Ji, how can you be sure that it will appear in the Northwest Guardian Residence's territory?"
This didn't make sense.
If the entrance was random, how could these people determine the location of the Martial Art Secret Land a couple of hours in advance, and even ask Ji Zhuo, the leader of the Northwest Guardian Residence, to open the portal for them?
This didn't make sense.
Ji Zhuo grinned and said, "Although it's random, there is a certain pattern to it. The thirty-six domains of the Federation are all located in a special space node. When the city was first built, it wasn't randomly determined. "
"The leaders of the thirty-six domains all have a Domain Leader Token, which is the key to opening the space node and entering the Martial Art Secret Land."
"Every time the opening time nears, as long as the Martial Arts Secret Realm travels to a certain space node, the entrance will be directly connected to the Domain Land in the node. Therefore, as long as the Domain Gate is opened, entering the Domain Land is equivalent to reaching the entrance of the Martial Arts Secret Realm in advance."
Fu Zhengqing nodded slightly, and began to understand why these people were gathered here.
Most likely, it was because the Martial Art Secret Land moved to the Northwest Guardian Residence's space node this year.
Fu Zhengqing couldn't help but ask,
"Elder Ji, what's the use of this Martial Art Secret Land? Why do I feel that your determination to enter it is even stronger than the Land of Spiritual Origin?"
