C846 Border Trade City
"Think of it as a martial skill? I've never thought of that, but just by looking at the Qi waves produced from the collision between my Saber Qi and your Sword Qi, I can tell that it's powerful enough. It's just that the consumption is a bit terrifying. Let's use it as a trump card. " Wang Mohen propped himself up and said.
Both Ye Hongtian and Wang Mohen entered a very weak state after unleashing their sword Qi and saber Qi. If they were to use this move in actual combat, they must have the confidence to kill their opponent. Otherwise, if their opponent was still alive after exhausting all their strength, they would be at the mercy of others.
"Then let's use it as a trump card. Under normal circumstances, we won't be able to use it. This type of move that hurts the enemy a thousand times, self-harming eight hundred times, can only be used as a trump card." Ye Hongtian rubbed his chin and said.
As he spoke, he saw that Wang Mohen's injuries were almost healed, so Wang Mohen walked out together with him. Once they exited the cave, the two of them prepared to leave.
"With our speed, it will only take us three days at most to reach the gathering place. Let's go there earlier." Wang Mohen said.
Ye Hongtian hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the blood wind in Ma Peng's body. He shook his head and said, "No, I want to take the blood wind away. It was given to me by my best friend in this world. You can't just leave it like that, you can leave first. See you at the gathering place."
Hearing Ye Hong Tian's words, Wang Mo Hen knew that Ye Hong Tian had been riding his horse all the way here. He originally thought that the time when he and Ye Hong Tian recovered their bodies should be about the same. But now it seemed that Ye Hongtian would not be surprised if he had not been here for quite a few days in the morning.
Lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Wang Mohen did not choose to go to the gathering place alone. Instead, he chose to ride the bloody wind with Ye Hongtian.
Originally, Ye Hongtian was already very slow riding on the Blood Wind alone. Now that there was Wang Mohen, the number of times the Blood Wind rested would increase, and the speed of their advance would be even slower.
Without much discussion, Ye Hongtian and Wang Mohen mounted their horses and rushed to the gathering place according to the route on the map.
The village was surrounded by mountains, and the only way out was through a canyon. After leaving the canyon, Ye Hongtian and Wang Mohen arrived at a desert.
Not far ahead, there was a small city. From far away, Ye Hongtian could see many merchants and travelers entering and leaving the city.
"Go around it?" Wang Mo Hen asked.
"No need. We'll just walk inside. We've been eating rations for quite a few days. It's not bad to find a restaurant to have a good meal," Wang Yao said. Ye Hongtian replied.
Riding on the bloody wind, they slowly rode to the city gate. From afar, they could see that although the city was small, it looked alright. However, when they got closer, they found that the city gate was in tatters, and there were traces of damage everywhere. It was as if no one had repaired it for a long time.
Logically speaking, there should be workers who specialized in maintaining the city gate and the city walls of each region to ensure that the city wall and the city gate were sturdy enough to defend a city. However, this city seemed to have given up on defending the city. The City Lord seemed to have the thought of 'if you want this city, take it away'.
There were no guards at the city gates, nor were there any inspection procedures like the ones at the city gates of Split-Cloud City. Just like that, they easily entered the city.
After entering the city, Ye Hongtian saw a large stretch of ruins. Those houses did not seem to be inhabited at all. Basically, no houses were intact. This made Ye Hongtian react immediately. His face revealed an expression of so that's how it is.
"If I'm not wrong, this city should be similar to a black market. Businessmen from all over the world would come here to sell some things, but using an entire city as a black market is really a big deal" Ye Hong Tian muttered.
As he mumbled, Ye Hong Tian already saw a bunch of merchants sitting on the ground and setting up stalls. He couldn't help but be interested in the things these merchants were selling, looking at them one by one.
After looking at a few stalls, Ye Hong Tian discovered that they were selling poisonous medicinal herbs, medicinal herbs that could help in cultivation, medicinal herbs that could help in recovery, and so on. From this, it seemed that this place was specially opened to martial artists.
When he walked in front of a merchant's stall that was buying weapons and armor, Ye Hongtian couldn't help but ask about the situation of this merchant.
When the merchant saw that it seemed to be Ye Hongtian's first time here, a smile appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand towards Ye Hongtian, clearly wanting to collect money.
In this small world, silver taels were still usable. It wasn't like most places on the Martial Road could only be traded with vitality stones, so Ye Hongtian took out a silver ingot from his Cosmos Sack and placed it in the merchant's hand.
The merchant's eyes narrowed into a line when he saw the palm-sized ingot. He checked the authenticity of the silver ingot and immediately put it in his pocket.
"Young Hero, you may have happened to pass by this place. I don't know where this place is, but it doesn't matter. I've been selling things here for three years and I know everything. Let me introduce this Border Trade City to you."
"Border Trade City, as the name implies, is a city that is only used for all kinds of transactions. This place doesn't belong to the next country. This border doesn't mean that this city is located at the border of each country. It refers to the forbidden border to the north!"
The businessman smiled at Ye Hongtian. When he talked about the forbidden area, Ye Hongtian looked interested. Ye Hong Tian's expression was immediately caught by the merchant. The merchant immediately started talking about the forbidden area.
"A long time ago, there were beasts invading this world, causing the people in this world to be plunged into misery and suffering. A fairy descended and destroyed the beasts to save this world, but the beasts were not all killed. Ten thousand berserk beasts fled towards the north, and then the land in the north became strangely blood-red. "
"There was once someone who entered the blood-red land out of curiosity, but not long after that person went crazy. Some Void Origin Stage cultivators said that person went crazy because of his bestial nature, and then the blood red land became a forbidden area. "
"However, there was not only danger in the forbidden area. There was once a Qi Cultivating Stage warrior who entered it. After disappearing for a month, he actually broke through to the third level of the Void Origin Stage and came back. That was the forbidden area. However, there are still many people who want to enter the forbidden area. It is also the reason why the border trading city is so lively. "2
After talking about the situation of the forbidden place, the businessman looked at Ye Hongtian's face and realized that Ye Hongtian was thinking about it, so he stopped talking.
"You're right, this is a reward for you."
After a moment, Ye Hongtian looked up at the merchant and took out a large silver ingot from his Cosmos Sack. He weighed it and threw it to the merchant.
After getting such a big silver ingot, the merchant immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Hongtian twice. He said, "Thank you, young hero. Thank you, young hero."
Seeing the merchant like this, Ye Hongtian chuckled and gave Wang Mohen a look. The next second, he was here.
