Chapter 1313: Guang Han City
Han State was adjacent to Zang State. It was considered the largest state in the Thousands Demons Continent. It was at least 3 times larger than Zang State. However, it was very cold here all year round, so the demons who lived here were the least; less than half of the population of Zang State.
Most of the demons were gathered in the major cities of the Han State, so demons were rarely seen on the huge snow land.
However, this vast snow land was not all desolate. There were countless demonic beasts with cold attribute living on the snow land. In the depths of the vast snow land, there were mountains covered with snow all year round. There were various natural materials that had long since disappeared in other places. Occasionally, powerful demons would come here to hunt for treasures.
At this moment, a black escape light came soundlessly from a distance and stopped at a rather remote snow mountain.
After the black light dissipated, Liu Ming in a green robe could be seen.
His face was covered with a layer of black air, and his aura was deliberately suppressed.
On his shoulder lay a small silver scorpion. It was Xie’er.
However, Xie’er’s body now looked slightly different from before. There were several black spirit patterns on the silver carapace.
Moreover, the aura she exuded had reached the Celestial State intermediate stage.
It had been more than a year since the battle of You Rong City. Originally, with Liu Ming’s escape speed, it would take only more than a month to reach Han State. However, on the way there, Xie’er accidentally discovered a demon marrow mineral vein.
The demon marrow stone had a very good effect on improving her cultivation. Since there was still enough time, Liu Ming stayed near the mineral vein for about a year.
With the help of the demon marrow mineral vein, Xie’er finally broke through to the Celestial State intermediate stage a month ago, which made Liu Ming overjoyed.
Although he didn’t need any helper on the trip to the Demon Abyss, he was 1 person after all. Xie’er already had high combat power. After advancing to the Celestial State intermediate stage, her power was by no means inferior to that of ordinary Celestial State later stage demons. She was considered a big help for him.
Liu Ming stood on the peak and glanced around for a few moments, then he looked in one direction.
Mo Tian emerged and also looked at where Liu Ming’s gaze was fixed on.
The mountain where Liu Ming was at the moment was one of the continuous snow mountains, What he was looking at was a huge glacier canyon in the depths of the mountain range. The canyon was filled with gray mist, which was quite eye-catching in the snow-white world.
“It should be here. It’s only been more than a year since the opening of Demon Abyss, and the aura of the Abyss has already begun to spread.” Mo Tian said.
Liu Ming looked at the gray mist in the canyon, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
Although his location was still far away from the canyon, he could clearly sense the thick demonic qi emanating from the gray mist. There were some other gases mixed in it.
“Master…” Xie’er, on Liu Ming’s shoulder, rubbed her 2 pincers and let out a cry as if she yearned for for the gray mist.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of true demonic qi faintly revealed in the gray mist of the canyon. No wonder it made Xie’er feel so eager.
“Be patient.” Liu Ming lightly stroked Xie’er’s body twice. His eyes flashed with purple light.
Although the vicinity of the valley was quiet, it was not completely deserted. Within the scope of his Divine Thought, he had already sensed several auras lurking in the nearby mountain peaks, but they all seemed to be Real Pellet State demons.
“Now that you know the location, let’s get out of here. It would be bad if someone notices you.” Mo Tian glanced around and said so.
Liu Ming nodded and waved one hand. A green light flashed on his body, and black air wrapped his body, then he flew toward the distance.
Half a day later, a huge city appeared in Liu Ming’s vision.
Looking from a distance, the city covered an area of thousands of miles. There were towering walls. The tall buildings in the city were connected. The city looked extremely prosperous.
In the center of the city, there was also a huge tower as high as 3,000 meters. It was built with a kind of white ice crystal.
A layer of translucent white light curtain radiated from the top of the tower, covering the entire city like an upside-down bowl.
Facing the strong snow wind, the city looked impeccable like a giant beast curled up on the ground.
Liu Ming turned took out a jade slip and scanned with Divine Thought.
“Guang Han City is indeed one of the largest cities in the Han State. It is really magnificent.” He looked at the city below and said lightly.
“There is still more than a year before the opening of Demon Abyss, let’s stay here temporarily. Firstly, it is convenient. Secondly, we will not attract attention here.” Mo Tian’s voice sounded in Liu Ming’s ear.
Liu Ming nodded. As he chanted, bone crackling sounds came from his body. His body and appearance had changed gradually. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a middle-aged man with a slightly black face.
This was h.e.l.l Bone Secret’s transformation technique. It did not use spiritual power to transform, but it shifted the body’s bones to change the appearance. Even a Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse could only notice Liu Ming change his appearance, but he couldn’t see through his original face.
Then he used Che Huan Totem to suppress his spiritual pressure to the level of Real Pellet State later stage.
After doing this, Liu Ming landed at the entrance of the city.
There were demons coming in and out of the city gate from time to time, and there were two rows of demon soldiers in purple-black armor standing on both sides of the gate.
Seeing this, Liu Ming was slightly surprised. The emblems on the armor of these demon soldiers were the same as those on the robes of Huangfu Liushui at that time. They were clearly in the style of the central imperial.
“It’s not surprising. In a spa.r.s.ely populated state like Han State, the 4 great families are not interested in managing it, so the cities of Han State are managed by people from the central imperial.” Mo Tian seemed to have noticed Liu Ming’s surprise and said faintly.
Liu Ming’s face changed, but he didn’t say anything. After paying the entrance fee, he walked into Guang Han City.
Once he entered the city, the snow wind could no longer be felt in the city. The surrounding temperature was suitable and the light was bright as if he had come to another world.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows, then he walked to a street in the city.
Guang Han City was similar to other cities. There were some shops on both sides of the street, selling some materials, elixirs, demonic weapons, and other things.
Liu Ming browsed casually. Due to geographical reasons, most of the materials and ores placed in the store were of cold attribute, but they were all ordinary things. There were no treasures that he liked.
After wandering around the city for a while, Liu Ming lost interest and walked toward the center of the city to look for a place to stay.
“Senior, please wait a moment.” At this moment, a young man in a brown short robe came out from a nearby shop and stopped Liu Ming.
Liu Ming turned to look at the young man. This man was only at the Spirit Apostle Stage, which was considered to be the worst in the Thousands Demons Continent, but he looked quite clever and resourceful.
“Anything?” He said with a frown.
“Senior, don’t be offended. It looks like you have just entered the city. Are you looking for something? My surname is Lu. I’m very familiar with Guang Han City. I can guide you along the way. You just need to pay some demonic crystals after that.” The young man in a brown robe said with a smile.
“So you are a guide. Just right, I’m looking for a quiet place to live. Do you know such place in the city? If I’m satisfied, this thing is yours.” Liu Ming showed a smile and took out a long black blade.
This was an upper grade demonic weapon. For a Spirit Apostle demon, its preciousness was self-evident.
Sure enough, when the young man in a brown robe was excited after seeing the long black blade.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his mind, and nodded heavily, “Senior, don’t worry. I will definitely satisfy you.”
Liu Ming smiled slightly, waved his hand, and threw the long black blade to the young man in a brown robe.
The young man in a brown robe youth caught the long black in a hurry, showing a hint of doubt, then he understood it.
The person in front was many times stronger than him, so naturally he wouldn’t be afraid of running away after getting the reward.
The young man in a brown robe put away the long black blade carefully and gave Liu Ming a deep bow.
“Senior, please come with me. The best residences in Guanghan City are concentrated in the east district of the city, but recently more people have come here, and they all stay here for a long time. Now there are not many quiet residences.” The young man in a brown robe walked toward the east of the city as he spoke.
Liu Ming waved his hand and wrapped the young man in a brown robe with a black air, then they flew toward the east of the city.
The young man in a brown robe was startled at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
The surrounding scenery changed quickly. Within a few seconds, they arrived at the east district of Guang Han City and slowly landed on an avenue.
Although the streets were not crowded with people, there were many more people than at the city gate.
“Are there many outsiders in the city now?” Liu Ming looked around and asked casually.
“Yes, since more than a year ago, some strange faces have appeared in the city, and their cultivation level seems to be not low. Many inns and temporary cave houses in the city have been booked by them. It seems that they are going to be here for a long time. Now the best inns in the city are full, but don’t worry, senior. I know a place where there are still some vacant residences, and it is very secluded. It should meet your requirements.” The young man in a brown robe led Liu Ming to walk in one direction.
Liu Ming’s eyes flickered slightly, but he didn’t show any expression on his face. He just followed behind the young man in a brown robe.
After making a few turns, they came to a rather secluded place.
A lot of green pruning bamboo were planted here. There was a clear stream meandering through the bamboo forest. The noise of the streets in the distance could hardly be heard here.
They pa.s.sed through the bamboo forest, and a courtyard appeared in front of them. There was a plaque hanging on the courtyard with the 3 characters “Emerald Bamboo House” written on it.
