Chapter 921 Fallen City (1/2)
The Fallen Abyss was very well known throughout Hunyuan Heaven because it was said to be one of the forbidden places filled with extreme danger, as well as an ancient battlefield where countless experts, including Law Domain experts, had perished.
The fall of many Law Domain experts and the scattering of their Law Domains had distorted space and changed the rules within the Fallen Abyss.
Therefore, the Fallen Abyss was always in a sealed-off state in normal times, and it was only when the nine regions tournament came that Law Domain experts of the nine regions would join hands and tear open a channel to let their Divine Dwelling experts in to search for opportunities.
An imposing city stood in a remote black plain in the Fallen Abyss' outermost periphery. It was called the Fallen City.
Although it required more than one Law Domain expert to tear open a channel and venture into the Fallen Abyss, anybody brave enough could explore the outermost periphery.
With some good luck, one could even find Genesis treasures and inheritance left from the great war. This was considered a great opportunity for many cultivators.
Therefore, the Fallen City was home to many treasure hunters.
As the nine regions tournament had drawn closer, countless people in Hunyuan Heaven had placed their focus on the Fallen City. Many forces had flocked to the city, turning the little desolate city into a buzzing place.
In a short period of time, it had become a place filled with all kinds of people.
This atmosphere reached its peak when the major forces of the nine regions successively arrived in Fallen City.
In the center of Fallen City was a large manor with nine tall pavilion buildings. This was the most striking symbol of the city.
These nine pavilion buildings, built by the nine regions, were specially used to accommodate the many disciples during the nine regions tournament, and the other forces were not allowed to enter. This clearly highlighted the status of the nine regions in Hunyuan Heaven.
The manor was known as the Nine Regions Manor.
Under the leadership of Zhou Yuan, 2,000 members of the Tianyuan Region's four pavilions arrived at Fallen City.
They were all elites of the four pavilions. Four hundred of them were at the advanced Divine Dwelling stage, and the other sixteen hundred were at the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage.
An army of this size, of course, attracted the attention of countless people in Fallen City.
Their gazes turned even more curious when they learned that they were people of the Tianyuan Region. After all, Zhou Yuan had recently risen to fame in Hunyuan Heaven.
Under the watchful eyes of the countless people he saw along the way, Zhou Yuan led the large army to the huge manor in the center of the city.
A butler at the manor's gate hurriedly greeted him.
“Haha, this must be chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, right? I have heard a lot about you.” The butler spoke amiably.
Zhou Yuan talked to him briefly with a gentle expression and learned that the butler was surnamed Liu and was responsible for managing the manor.
Butler Liu respectfully presented him a silver medal with both hands. Zhou Yuan immediately noticed the silver medal was engraved with the character ‘nine’, which was the building number that they would be staying in.
Zhou Yuan didn’t understand at first, but he saw Lu Xiao and Yi Qiushui both scrunch their brows in a frown.
“Butler Liu, is this right? In the past nine regions tournaments, our Tianyuan Region was always in building no. 6. Why did you change our location for no reason?” Lu Xiao asked.
Zhou Yuan found it a little strange when he heard Lu Xiao's tone of voice.
Miu Liu leaned closer to him, whispering, “Each of the nine regions occupy a building of the nine pavilion buildings in the Nine Regions Manor. Although there are no clear rules to say which region has which building, our Tianyuan Region has always been in building no. 6.”
“Also, building no. 9 is in the worst location with the shortest height.”
Understanding dawned on Zhou Yuan’s face. They were robbed of their usual building and left with the worst location.
Normally speaking, it wasn’t a big deal where they lived, but they now represented the Tianyuan Region, and any difference in treatment could be easily magnified. It was unknown how many sects and factions had gathered in Fallen City. If this matter were to spread, it would inevitably attract unnecessary criticism.
After all, for the nine regions, face was sometimes more important than anything else.
“Why is butler Liu treating our Tianyuan Region unfairly?” Zhou Yuan frowned.
Beads of sweat visibly dripped down butler Liu’s chubby pale face. “Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, how would I dare? I’m just a little butler.”
“Who will be occupying building no. 6 then?” Zhou Yuan fixed a stare at butler Liu for a good while and knew that he wouldn’t dare to create any trouble given his identity.
Butler Liu wiped his sweat and uttered submissively, “It's the Yaogui Region. They said that building no. 9 is a bit old, and they insisted on going to building no. 6. How can I stop them with my little arms and legs?”
“The Yaogui Region?” Lu Xiao, Mu Liu and Han Yuan all scrunched their brows in a frown.
