Chapter 155, Soul Street
Rukongai is the oldest underground force in the Celestial Empire. It is not only huge in power, but also covers a vast area. The power of Rukongai is not limited to the Celestial Empire. It can be said that they have spread throughout the Tianyuan Continent.
, even the Azure Prairie has the presence of Rukongai, they are like shadows, living in every corner of the continent.
The things that Rukongai operates are all things that are not on the market, or things that are strictly controlled by the empire, such as slaves, medicines, weapons, food, etc. As long as it can make money, Rukongai dares to do it, and everything is based on money.
, this is their purpose. If Rukongai was ruled by one person, I believe that Rukongai would have dominated the Celestial Empire long ago.
This is not the case. The forces within Rukongai are complex and very chaotic. They are not governed by one person, but are jointly managed by thirteen directors. Since Rukongai has existed for a long time, the thirteen directors
The heads of the clan have each developed into thirteen families, among which the Murong family is one of the thirteen chief families. However, in the long history of the empire, the ancestors of the Murong family had unique insights and followed the right people.
He went to court and became a powerful noble who monopolized most of the business in the Celestial Empire. The Murong family's long-cherished wish was to incorporate the entire Rukongai, but the power of Rukongai was too hidden. Hundreds of years later, they have not been able to succeed.
That’s all.
As long as there is money, there will be Rukongai. This is common sense to anyone. The flame stones abundant in Huangshan City are the best weapons of war. Of course, they will also attract the attention of Rukongai. Nowadays, the stationed
The Liuhun Street forces in Huangshan City are none other than the Yan family, one of the thirteen chiefs.
Town No. 74 is a stronghold of Rukongai in Huangshan City. It is located on the outskirts of the Momo Desert. It is a very important stronghold of Rukongai. Due to the yellow sand tsunami, today’s Town No. 74 has become
It was extremely lively and welcomed many travelers.
Muchen took Huoyu and the three girls, and after passing through Simple Qiao Village, they also came to this small town.
In town No. 74, there are some simple wooden houses, which are very simple. Because they have been exposed to wind and sand all year round, the houses are also a little dilapidated. Coupled with the surrounding desert scenery full of yellow sand, it feels a bit like the Dragon Gate Inn, which makes Muchen feel very novel.
.At this time, many business travelers and mercenaries have gathered in the town. These people should have come here to escape the wind and sand.
Muchen and the three girls Huo Yu entered the town together. Seeing the mercenaries around them, they curiously asked: "Huo Yu, is this the stronghold of Rukongai? Why are there so many people from the mercenary group here?
ah."
"They all probably come here to escape the sandstorm. Rukongai cooperates with many mercenary groups. The mercenaries come here to escape the sandstorm. It's normal. The mercenaries and us bandits are enemies."
Muchen glanced at the relatively luxurious inn in the distance and said, "Hey, there is an inn here. Why are these guys staying outside?"
"You don't have to think about it to know that the price must be very expensive. Rukongai is famous for its snobbery. At times like this, staying in an inn must be extremely expensive. Since you are just avoiding the wind and sand, there is no need to spend such wasted money." Mo.
Xiao Mo complained.
Wen Hui: "Then shall we enter the inn? Or find a place to sit and wait for the wind and sand to pass before leaving."
Muchen waved his hand and said: "Of course we have to stay in an inn. The inn is so comfortable. Don't worry, I'm treating you today, let's go."
Muchen waved his hand and led the three girls into the inn in the middle of the town.
Pushing open the door of the inn, there was no noisy sound coming from inside. Instead, it was very quiet. There were only a few people sitting in the hall. When Muchen and the others came in, the innkeeper came over and said, "During special times,
All rooms in our hotel are priced at 2,000 gold coins per night. If you don’t have the money, please leave as soon as possible without giving it away.”
No need to be polite.
Judging from how Muchen and the others were dressed, they looked like the kind of laid-back mercenaries. How could they spend so many gold coins to stay all night? There was no need to be polite.
Muchen today is really wealthy. Even he himself doesn't know how much money he has. It's only a few thousand gold coins, but he really won't be noticed by Muchen.
"2000 gold coins, right? Give me two upper rooms and take the gold coins." Muchen directly threw out a bag of purple gold coins. When the shopkeeper opened it, he really made a mistake. It turned out to be a big customer.
"Okay, here you go, bring some distinguished guests upstairs so we can greet them."
The three girls share a room, and Muchen has a room by himself. Although the room is relatively simple, it is not bad to find a place to live in a place like this.
Because of Huo Yu's sensitive status, it was better to be cautious and stay out of the room less often. Muchen was more interested in this inn. He walked on the pure wooden stairs and listened to the creaking of the stairs, which also had a unique flavor.
Muchen found a corner to sit in the hall, ordered some food and drinks, and started enjoying them.
Not far behind, several mercenaries wearing animal skin cloaks were chatting in low voices.
"Boss, is this news true? Is there really a treasure in the Hopeless Desert? What kind of treasure is it?"
"This is still false. Many people have died in the desert. I have received news that the reason why such a huge sandstorm and tsunami broke out this time is because a baby was born. Not many people know this news now. I believe it will be
Soon, it will spread throughout Huangshan City."
At times like this, it is a great pleasure for mercenaries to talk about unexpected treasures. There are many exaggerations in this, and some are purely fictional. Anyway, most people just take it as a joke, and it is also a kind of fun.
As for the topics these mercenaries chatted about, Muchen only regarded them as side dishes and was happy to hear them.
Speaking of enjoying themselves, several mercenaries raised their voices a little, and the boss said with an arrogant look: "You may not believe it, but the treasure found in the Hopeless Desert this time is related to the Flame Mountain."
"Is it related to the Flame Mountain? What on earth is this?" The curiosity in their hearts was instantly aroused, and the mercenaries naturally had the desire to dig into the problem.
Seeing his subordinates looking at him with such admiration, the mercenary boss also smiled and said: "I learned this news from another mercenary group leader. That guy was also a participant originally, but when the treasure was born,
There are too many masters, and this guy came back early. According to him, there are a large group of Tianwu Realm experts participating in the fight."
"Heavenly Martial Realm expert! Come on...boss...let's talk."
The boss of the mercenary group slowly said that the reason why Huangshan City can gather so many forces is largely due to the existence of the Flame Stone, and the origin of the Flame Stone is the Flame Mountain.
Every other year, a cold wave breaks out in the Flame Mountain, creating a spectacle of ice and fire. Because of these abnormal temperature changes, many stones containing violent fire-attribute spiritual power will be born. These stones are called flame stones. However, in the ice and fire world,
Before the arrival of the Double Heaven, there will also be some small cold waves erupting around the Flame Mountain. These small cold waves will also bring some flame stones. Although the spiritual power of these flame stones is not pure, they are also very valuable. Many small and medium-sized mercenary groups
, or small groups will enter the Hopeless Desert at this time to try their luck. After all, when it comes to the real dual sky of ice and fire, these small forces are not qualified to approach the Flame Mountain.
And what happened just a few days ago, on the edge of the Flame Mountain, in a sand dune, a piece of thousand-year-old ice suddenly rose up. This piece of thousand-year-old ice was very large, 4 or 5 meters high. Such a huge piece of thousand-year-old ice
The ice spurted out from the desert, naturally attracting many mercenaries. The mercenaries hurriedly dug into the sand dunes to see what else was inside.
Surprisingly, they actually dug up something good. It turned out that there was an extremely hidden sand dune tunnel under this thousand-year-old ice. After some mercenaries discovered this underground tunnel, they followed the tunnel.
, unexpectedly, an ancient ruins were discovered at the end of the tunnel, but this ruins was wrapped by a strong barrier, and there was a lot of magma around it. The thousand-year-old ice seemed to be a seal used to seal this place, but
For some unknown reason, it was suddenly ejected out of the ground, and this tunnel appeared.
Although the mercenaries entered Baoshan, their strength was limited and they could not open the barrier at the entrance. They could only find ways to find helpers. Soon, the news that ancient ruins were found in the Hopeless Desert was leaked, and many experts could not help but
I have traveled thousands of miles to come here, hoping to enter the ruins to explore and find treasures.
Just a few days ago, a small-scale cold wave broke out in the Flame Mountain. The vibration caused by the fierce collision of ice and fire seemed to have alarmed the ancient ruins. A group of experts used this power to open the barrier in the ancient ruins.
A shocking heat wave immediately broke out, and just this one wave took away many lives.
After that, the mercenary boss didn't know what exactly was found in the ruins, because after his friend saw the danger after the ancient ruins were opened, he realized that he had absolutely no strength to fight for the treasures, and retreated wisely.
I just heard that there seems to be some treasure in the ruins, which is related to the Flame Mountain, and was taken away by a mysterious person. Many Tianwu Realm masters are unable to do anything to each other. For this reason, many big forces are secretly chasing this person.
Mysterious man.
"Mysterious man?" When Muchen heard this title, the first thing he thought of was the mysterious man who possessed the body to destroy the Tao. Could it be that this mysterious man was also responsible for this?
