Chapter 287 Arriving at the City of Mercenaries
Although the space gate of the Great Zhou Kingdom is open to everyone, it is not used for free. Anyone who passes through the Space Gate must submit some fifth-level magic cores to several powerful men in the Great Zhou Kingdom. The number is different, but they are calculated based on the number of people, each with a fifth-level magic core.
Such a price is indeed a bit unbearable for the Xia family and Tianhua Sect of the Wind Blue Kingdom, but those who can come here are all top forces in various kingdoms, including top masters of the Sky Saint Master, and several fifth-level magic cores were not taken seriously by them.
Although the Tianqin family came for forty people, most of these people were protected on the way to avoid accidents. However, there were less than ten people who actually went to the Mercenary City.
The Supreme Elder of the Tianqin family led everyone to the gate of space. His eyes swept across the people behind him, and then handed over a few fifth-level magic cores to a Sky Saint Master waiting next to the gate of space, and said, "We have nine people in total, and there are nine magic cores here in total."
The Sky Saint Master from the Great Zhou Kingdom took over the magic core submitted by the Supreme Elder of the Tianqin family with a smile and said, "You go over, I hope you can achieve good results."
After the Supreme Elder of the Tianqin family said a few polite words to the other party, he stepped straight into the door of space. With just one step, he crossed hundreds of thousands of kilometers and reached the other end of the Tianyuan Continent.
Then, Jian Chen and Ming Dong walked out of the crowd under Qin Xiao's instructions and walked towards the door of space in an orderly manner.
In addition to the Supreme Elder, Zhou Tian, the members of the three mercenary groups and Jian Chen, the Tianqin family, there was also a middle-aged man with a cold face. He was wearing a black robe, and his stiff face never seemed to smile, but his eyes were extremely sharp, with a little cold light from time to time.
"Jian Chen, this person is Qin Jue, but he is not a direct member of our Tianqin family. He is an abandoned baby that my grandfather picked up decades ago. He is very cold-hearted. However, because it was my Tianqin family who raised him, he is loyal to our Tianqin family and has a good talent for cultivation. In addition, he worked very hard in cultivation, so he successfully broke through to the Saint Master of the Earth three years ago." Qin Xiao explained in a low voice in Jian Chen's ear, and the eyes he looked at Qin Jue with a rare slight respect.
Then, several people from the Tianqin family passed through the space gate one by one. When Jian Chen stepped into the space gate, he only felt that he had crossed a layer of invisible energy barrier, and then he reached the other side without any other feeling.
This is a forest of trees and green onions. Hundreds of people have gathered around it. They are all those who have arrived here through the space gate first.
"I didn't expect that there was such a magical thing in this world. I wonder what kind of awesome means the peerless powerful man who created the space gate had." Jian Chen sighed in his heart, and he was also very yearning for such a goal, hoping that he would reach that height one day.
"Let's go, there is the city of mercenaries ahead." After all the people arrived, the Supreme Elder of the Tianqin family led the people away. Since the mount could not be brought over through the space gate, the few people chose to walk forward. Despite this, the speed was still very fast.
The forest is not big. After walking out of the forest, there are a plain. Looking around, there are many people from all directions, like Jian Chen and others, moving in the same direction. From time to time, teams of people riding monster mounts raised large patches of dust and spread out, and many flying monsters in the sky were swiftly passing by.
Everything was the same as when Jian Chen and his party left the Tianqin family, but the difference was that they had changed from riding on a flying monster to walking forward.
On the way, Tianzhou's cold gaze scanned Jian Chen from time to time. If he hadn't been concerned about the Supreme Elder, he would have attacked Jian Chen long ago.
But he turned a blind eye to Tian Zhou's gaze, ignored it, and made Tian Zhou feel so angry that he hoped that Jian Chen could contradict him. In this case, it would be legitimate for him to teach Jian Chen a lesson.
Two hours later, Jian Chen and his men finally arrived at the mercenary under the leadership of the Supreme Elder of the Tianqin Family.
City. Mercenary City is a huge city with a very vast area. However, unlike other cities, Mercenary City does not have a wall and can be entered from all directions. In the sky of the city, a huge energy barrier emits a faint golden light covering the world, wrapping the entire Mercenary City.
"You all remember that any fighting is prohibited in the Mercenary City, otherwise you will be punished very severely, and there are many powerful forces that we cannot afford to offend. You are all calm and cause less trouble." The Supreme Elder of the Tianqin Family stared at everyone with a sharp look on his face and said with a serious look on his face.
"Yes, Supreme Elder!" Several people from the Tianqin family responded respectfully at the same time.
Then several people followed the crowd and entered the Mercenary City. Although the Mercenary City did not have a wall, the layout inside was no different from other cities. Various shops and inns were filled with streets and alleys.
The mercenary event will only begin half a month later. Jian Chen and his party found an inn in the city to temporarily live there. On the second day, they strolled around the Mercenary City with Qin Xiao and Mingdong.
The Supreme Elder of the Tianqin family lost his trace the next day. Just like in the palace of the Great Zhou Kingdom, he didn't know where he ran, so he did not restrain everyone too much.
The following period of time was quite peaceful, but the number of people in the Mercenary City gathered more and more. In the end, all the inns in the city were filled with people, and even a large area of tents were densely built outside the city.
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed. The next morning, the Supreme Elder of the Tianqin family suddenly appeared and led everyone to the center of the Mercenary City.
"Mingdong, you can stay in the Mercenary City for the time being during this period, be careful." Walking on the road, Jian Chen looked at Mingdong.
Mingdong nodded, reached out and patted Jianchen on the shoulder, and said, "I understand, Jianchen, you must come back safely. I'll wait for you to come out here."
The Supreme Elder who was walking in front suddenly turned around and glanced at Mingdong, and said in a faint tone: "The Mercenary City is a very safe place. I'm afraid there is no safer place in the world than here. Remember, you must not fight with anyone in the Mercenary City, otherwise no one can save you."
"Thank you for your warning, senior." Mingdong bowed and said with a respectful look on his face.
Soon, everyone came to the center of the Mercenary City. This was a very large square, but it was already crowded with people. The number of people was unpredictable. It was estimated that it would be at least more than 100,000 people. In the center of the square, there was a statue fifty meters high. The statue was a middle-aged man, carved like lifelike and with an indescribable charm, as if it was made of a real person. He stood with his hands behind his back, his head slightly raised to look into the distant sky, as if he could see through the heavens.
There were many elderly people in the square and some extraordinary middle-aged men looking at the statue with their eyes ecstatic, with respect in their eyes, and a little bit of fear mixed in it.
"Is this statue the founder of Mercenary City? I heard that the founder of Mercenary City is extremely powerful and claims to be invincible in the world. No one in the world can defeat it. Unfortunately, it has been gone for countless years..."
"The ancient classics record that the Tianyuan Continent was still in chaos, and humans were facing an extermination attack from hundreds of clans. At the end of their forced path, a shocking genius emerged from the sky and fought against the top strong men of the hundreds of clans with his own strength. Finally, he repelled the hundreds of clans and saved the humans of the Tianyuan Continent. This genius later created a mercenary city, which led to the development of the mercenary world on the Tianyuan Continent..."
"It has been recorded in ancient classics that the person who founded the mercenary city seemed to be Mo Yuntian. He was so powerful that he was the best in the world. Later, there was no news, and it was probably because he left the world."
"It has been a full hundred thousand years since Mo Yuntian's era. No one can survive such a long time. Unfortunately, a generation of geniuses, Mo Tianyun's magical skills are invincible, but he still cannot escape the end of fate..."
