The Battle Through Heaven
Black Corner Region
Three days later, in a certain hidden forest area outside Da Ling City, someone wearing a black robe slowly walked out. He raised his head to look at the occasional pedestrian on the main road rushing past him. After determining the direction of the road, he raised his head and walked towards the main road that headed south.
The speed of that black-robed person was not that fast. However, if an attentive person were to observe it, they would be able to find that every time the black-robed person's footsteps fell, strangely his body would advance by more than a meter. The scene was similar to the small-scale teleportation that took place, looking very strange.
The black-robed person who came out of the forest was naturally and undoubtedly Xiao Yan who was hiding within it to refine the medicinal pills he needed. With the help of Yao Lao during these past three days, the various recovery and healing medicinal pills, which had been depleted, once again filled his storage ring. With a sufficient amount of medicinal pills as backup, Xiao Yan also felt much more relieved. In this Dou Qi continent, what kind of person would leave their home to adventure without setting up this restorative medicinal pill? After all, these things were used to save lives.
"This road leads directly to the border. However, there were three important military forts along the way. We need not fear the governors of the first two forts, but thirty thousand strong soldiers are said to be stationed at the last fort. Moreover, the vice commander there was a former Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect. From what the people at the Primer Auction House had said, it seemed that he was called Meng Li. His strength was at the Dou Ling class. Since the orders of the fugitive Misty Cloud Sect have reached Da Ling City, I think this former Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect should have also received it by now. " Xiao Yan gently walked at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, while his body strangely flickered on the main road. However, in his heart, he repeatedly calculated how to successfully leave the Jia Ma Empire.
"Right now, it is difficult for me to move an inch inside the Jia Ma Empire. I was worried that Yun Shan would guess that I would escape from the empire. In that case, he would naturally place greater focus on this final border checkpoint. It was possible that Meng Li had long since received Yun Shan's special message. From the looks of it, wanting to go easily from there might be difficult. " Xiao Yan's face was completely covered in shadows. When he thought of the troublesome points, Xiao Yan's brows could not help but unite.
"The city wall of the border fortress was almost as big as a small mountain. There must be a large army of archers who were experienced in riding and shooting inside the fort as well as a special energy sensing barrier. Since it was used to guard the border, it was likely that the fortress also had the ability to survive from the people flying through the sky. Otherwise, if a war broke out, would powerful people from other countries be able to come and go as they pleased? Ah, it seems like wanting to pass the last checkpoint as easily as I pass through Da Ling City might be a little impossible. " Xiao Yan gently sighed as he shook his head, feeling a little annoyed.
Within the Ma Ma Empire, there was a military order. It is forbidden to fly in the sky near one of the important military fortresses beside the border. If anyone were to be discovered, they would most likely receive destructive blows from all directions.
"We can only take one step at a time and see how it progresses. If that is really impossible, then we can only take the risk and forcefully invade the past. " Xiao Yan shook his head and stopped imagining different scenarios. Instead, he focused all his attention on speeding up his journey.
Although the distance from Da Ling City to the border of the Jia Ma Empire was not short, this was merely something small, relatively speaking. If an ordinary person walked these several hundred kilometers, one would definitely not be able to reach the border without a time of ten days to half a month. Even with Xiao Yan's speed and the use of the calm Purple Cloud Wings to fly for some time along the way, it took three days for him to pass through the two fortresses that were along the way.
As Xiao Yan had expected, the absence of people from the Misty Cloud Sect in the upper echelons of the leadership of the two fortresses meant that the desired order, which was not recognized by the Imperial family, meant that, it was not placed everywhere like it had happened in Da Ling City. The troops stationed there also did not pay much attention to the desired command. This allowed Xiao Yan to succeed yet narrowly pass through the two forts without any danger.
Even though he had managed to pass through those two forts, Xiao Yan's feelings did not relax in the least because of this. This was because he knew that the most troublesome one was the enormous last fortress known as ‘Jalan Zhen Gui’. As a military fortress on the imperial border with the aim of scaring away the power of other countries, it was no exaggeration to describe the defense there as a net. All of the soldiers stationed there actually had the experience of a bloody and fiery battlefield. They were far from anything like the troops guarding the cities within the empire, whose bodies were hollowed out by a luxurious lifestyle, and could not be compared.
This fortress was the last line of defense that would try to block Xiao Yan from leaving the Jia Ma Empire!
Only if Xiao Yan could get out of this place would he truly become like a dragon swarming into the open sea or an eagle soaring in the sky. There will be no one to bind him.
Therefore, this time, it was very important to pass this path.
Two days after passing through the second fortress, that enormous fortress, which was like a prehistoric beast, a giant standing at the border of the Jia Ma Empire, finally appeared at Xiao Yan's line of sight.
Xiao Yan stood on top of the mountain slope and stared at the nearly endless great city wall. He once again felt a faint drill sound being emitted from the city walls and could not resist gently exhaling air. The strength of the tens of thousands of soldiers joining forces and the ferocious power charged into the sky would likely not pale in comparison to the combined formations of the Misty Cloud Sect.
The freedom of the dragon returning to the vast ocean was on the other side of this city wall. However, Xiao Yan was slightly battered. This huge fortress was like a ferocious tiger lying in its path, blocking its final path.
On the yellow dirt road, a large group of nearly a hundred people lined up at high speed towards the huge fortress at the edge of their sight. Along the way, they carried a curse that charged into the sky. From the integrated clothes that this group of people wore, it seemed that they belonged to a mercenary company. Having a hundred people in the mercenary company meant that it could be considered intermediate within the Jia Ma Empire.
Since ‘Zhen Gui Pass’ is close to the border, the chaotic atmosphere here is well liked by certain mercenary companies. They did not like to take the safe route to hunt Magical Beasts and earn money. Instead, they were happy to become a legendary war mercenary company. In other words, it was to help a certain party in the war and reap great rewards for their help from it.
Although this kind of reward was extremely outstanding, the danger level was also extremely high. After all, on the battlefield of such a meat grinder, a few hundred troops killed if they were not vigilant was not something unique.
If one walked several hundred kilometers to the east of the fortress and passed through several small countries or tribes, one would be able to enter the special region that was famous throughout the continent as ‘Black’ Corner Region!
Here, due to its special geography, it had almost become the most chaotic region in the entire continent. Countless strong men from all countries would flee there and establish the most barbaric rule. Moreover, other than humans, there were many other races in this region. It could be called a miniature continent with its diversity!
There is no law binding anyone within ‘Black’ Corner Region. There is one rule, the law of the jungle!
In other words, it meant that the weak were prey for the strong to consume!
The weak have no rights in such a place!
This is a very simple area. As long as you want, there will be no one to stop you even if you decide to rape a woman on the street openly. Of course, the prerequisite for this is that you are better off choosing the party you are raping with correctly. Otherwise, your fate may be relatively miserable. In ‘Black’ Corner Region, a woman is sometimes even scarier than a man. There's only one reason for this. They managed to survive in this place.
In addition, ‘Black’ Corner Region can also be referred to as an information exchange point within the continent. A large amount of information flowed out of this place every day. After that, there would be a tremendous amount of information flowing from the outside world into it. Ah, frankly, if you want to be famous and want to be famous all over the continent, ‘Black’ Corner Region can give you the fastest shortcut. Of course, the prerequisite is that you must have sufficient strength and capital. Otherwise, your life will be lost even before your name can leave this place.
As a famous chaotic region across the continent, ‘Black’ Corner Region also fits this reputation. Every day, there would be strong people dying and every day, there would be strong people swarming from outside. The region was filled with death, but it was also filled with challenges and temptations. In a place like this, things that were difficult for one to see in the outside world, such as high-grade Qi Methods, Dou Techniques and various sorts of magical armor, medicinal cauldrons, medicinal ingredients, high-tier medicine, etc, etc., can cause people to see until their eyes are dazed. In addition, it is rumored that the Di class Qi Method has appeared twice inside the auction house in ‘Black’ Corner Region!
Of course, if one wanted to obtain all of this, he would have to pay the price. This price may be in the form of gold coins or it may be an exchange using other goods. In short, there will definitely be nothing like a cake falling from heaven inside ‘Black’ Corner Region.
Loving chaos and leaning into darkness seems to be a hidden factor within humanity. Therefore, even though people knew that this area was enveloped by dangerous air, there were still many people swarming wave after wave into this place. Their goal might be a shortcut to quickly becoming famous throughout the continent or perhaps to be able to obtain a higher grade Qi Method, a Dou Technique, or perhaps to be able to obtain a higher grade Qi Method, or a medicinal pill in this chaotic region or perhaps to obtain a great fortune that could only be compared to heaven. Regardless of the reason, these repeatedly swarming people inject unrelenting human traffic into this ‘Black-Corner’ Region.
Oh yeah, something that barely mentioned. Perhaps it was because there would definitely be the opposite effect when pushed to the extreme but located in the middle of the ‘Black’ Corner Region, was the Jia Nan Academy, famous throughout the Dou Qi Continent!
Merely, the particular region surrounding the outside of the Jia Nan Academy belonged to the peaceful region. Anyone who brings the atmosphere in ‘Black’ Corner Area to this place will be a corpse in a large tree located on the boundary line between Jia Nan Academy and ‘Black’ Corner Region the next day. For years, there seemed to be no exceptions.
There are rumors that the bodies of two Dou Wang and one Dou Huang were hung on a large tree, called ‘Dead Spirit Tree’ …
