122 Xue Yu (1/2)

the armored horses were galloping at great speed on an old and ancient road. at that moment, two horses were gradually slowing down. lin feng looked around. milky white smoke was could be seen coming from some chimneys in the distance. surprisingly, they had come a small village. it wasn't that small either.

in the continent of the nine clouds, cultivators were respected and had the power but there were many ordinary people who didn't have a spirit and who couldn't practice cultivation.

”lin feng, we have arrived at the border region of duan ren city.” said liu cang lan to lin feng pointing at the city.

”we finally arrived.” thought lin feng seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the city.

the chi xie armored horses were extremely fast but as before the xue yue country was still as vast as ever. therefore, they had required six days to arrive in this city which was situated in the north of the country.

duan ren city.

”this road is weird. everything is open and accessible. anybody could attack and destroy it.” said lin feng to liu cang lan.

”they don't even think about that.” replied liu cang lan indifferently which made lin feng shiver.

they didn't think about that?

in this city, it seemed like there were only ordinary people. they could easily be killed by even weak cultivators.

”lin feng, do you know how huge our continent is?”

”i'm not sure.” replied lin feng shaking his head.

”the continent of the nine clouds is extremely vast and has many countries. there is the imperial country of yu and our country, the xue yue country, which is inside xue yu.” said liu cang lan slowly and then continued: ”xue yu has thirteen countries amongst which four of them are extremely large.”

lin feng was stupefied. he had never heard of xue yu. thirteen countries… and the xue yue country was inside xue yu… lin feng didn't really understand what that meant. he didn't know what these territories looked like on a map.

”all of our countries are interconnected. there are agreements in place and our xue yue country also respects these agreements. we wouldn't attack each other. however, in case that something like that happened then the weak would probably become the prey of the strong. being strong is one of the most important rules in the continent of the nine clouds.”

”however, every ten years, the thirteen countries choose the most outstanding disciples of their country and organize the great competition of xue yu. the great competition of xue yu consists of battles between these disciples. it is said that the winner can win an incredible amount of wealth and items. besides, the winner has the opportunity to go to a mysterious and secret location to practice cultivation. ”

”the great competition of xue yu… a mysterious and secret location!” lin feng was shivering. maybe luo xue and chu zhan peng had joined the holy courtyard of xue yue for that exact reason. lin feng was wondering if there was a correlation between what liu cang lan was saying and the fact that these two high officials had chosen to study at the holy courtyard of xue yue.

”nonetheless, there are some countries who wish they could become extremely strong and annex other territories. this is something that is made possible during the great competition of xue yu. everything always comes down to power. if they manage to annex other territories, it means that they would gain power and have access to a greater number of outstanding talents. many countries wish they could become the imperial country.

”i see.” lin feng would have never thought that countries would fight each other in the frame of a great competition.

”you should be able to understand now why they destroyed the yun hai sect. that is why they are trying to put all their best disciples into one place: the holy courtyard of xue yue.” said liu cang lan. lin feng slightly nodded. they had built the holy courtyard of xue yue because they needed more outstanding disciples and they needed to greatly increase the strength of the disciples in the country.

”they want to kill me because the sphere of influence of my army is too large. they destroyed the yun hai sect because they want to unify the country under one banner. the other sects have been magnanimous but at some point, the imperial clan will probably start paying more attention to them and their fate will be the same as that of the yun hai sect.” said liu cang lan while sighing.

lin feng was feeling angrier and angrier. they definitely had their prey in sight.

”general, get down from your horses and come drink some water.”

at that moment, there were two people who had come from the village and one of them was a woman. she was the one who had shouted these words to liu cang lan.

”general, your hair...…..”

”no time. we are in a hurry. we cannot stop.” replied liu cang lan to the woman while smiling. at that moment, many people were coming out of their houses and looking at liu cang lan. their eyes were filled with respect and admiration. lin feng was looking at liu cang lan the same way.
