Chapter 775.1 – Conqueror’s City, Good News
People like Fatty Hai and Ye Kong were originally unaware of this secret. However, as time pa.s.sed and their knowledge grew, they found out about the existence of Empress Fei Wen Li. By observation and inference, they became curious about Xiao Wen Li’s ident.i.ty.
Over time, they noticed that it wasn’t a good idea to keep this secret from Princess Qian Qian and the other girls, so they mentioned the matter of Empress Fei Wen Li to them in pa.s.sing, warning them to never discuss it or other related matters with outsiders. Actually, Yue Yang had never specifically talked to Princess Qian Qian and the girls about Xiao Wen Li’s ident.i.ty. However, even before Xue Wu Xia possessed the Book of Truth, Princess Qian Qian, and the other girls, who were all intelligent women, could guess a little.
Inside Tong Tian Tower, the Serpent Demon Tribe was almost extinct.
So, it was impossible for Yue Yang, who had the young snake demon, Xiao Wen Li, following him everywhere, to not fall under suspicion. Not to mention that Xiao Wen Li already had such formidable power even when she was still an infant. Wouldn’t she grow up to become a terrifying expert? As long as one wasn’t an incurable idiot, they would be able to connect Xiao Wen Li to Empress Fei Wen Li.
Although the Book of Truth did not very clearly present the intelligence regarding Xiao Wen Li.
But at least it confirmed the ident.i.ties of the reincarnated Xiao Wen Li’s creators, which were Empress Fei Wen Li and Yue Yang. With just a glance, Xue Wuxia and the others could understand what was going on.
Of course, most of the secrets that Yue Yang possessed could still not be discovered by Xue Wuxia’s Book of Truth as it was only a piece of half-divine equipment. These included secrets such as Yue Yang’s [Innate] Inherent Skills, his [Invisible Sword Qi], and the Phoenix Sisters, the Book of Truth was unable to obtain information on them, let alone the Sword Spirit G.o.ddess.
They didn’t pursue Yue Yang’s various secrets, and even if they knew a little, they would secretly help him keep his secrets.
“How far are the ancient ruins from Conqueror’s City?” Yue Yang asked.
“Not very far, if calculating in a straight line on the map, it is but a thousand kilometers.” Tu Hai had spent the last few days rummaging through maps, thoroughly preparing himself for this exploration.
“We may not be fated to obtain the relics of the ancient ruins, but since we have come to this great city of the previous generation’s strongest, it’s really not right to not go on a pilgrimage.” when Yue Yang mentioned the previous generations strongest, Lord Ling Yun and the others did not pay attention, but Fatty Hai and Ye Kong noticed that Yue Yang was referring to Empress Fei Wen Li who was the pride of Tong Tian Tower.
“Conquer, honor.” Even the icy cold Xue Tan Lang couldn’t help but stand up.
Before, it was thought that the Prison Emperor was the strongest existence in the Tong Tian Tower.
Who would have known that before him, there was the even more powerful Empress Fei Wen Li? Amongst the past generations of experts from Tong Tian Tower, there would definitely have been even more outstanding ones, it was just that their records had been lost over the years, so they had become forgotten relics of the past.
The ancient ruin which had been discovered this time was most likely left behind by an expert from the past whose history had not been recorded.
This ancient ruin might even have a little something to do with Empress Fei Wen Li.
For all those who wanted to approach Conqueror’s City, regardless of their strength, regardless of what flying beasts they rode or what airs.h.i.+p or puppet or mechanical contraption they had, they had to fly below a thousand meters to show their respect to Empress Fei Wen Li.
In the center of Conqueror’s City, stood a thousand meter tall giant statue of Empress Fei Wen Li.
It was said that it took the Snake Demon Tribe nearly a hundred years to finish sculpting it.
The artistic skill and craftsmans.h.i.+p that was used to create this statue had reached the pinnacle of perfection.
From a distance, you would be able to see a majestic golden-crowned queen with a serpent’s tail standing proudly and gazing afar. Six arms adorned the statue, two held swords in preparation for battle; one held a banner to guide the army forward; another held a majestic bow while yet another nocked an arrow, always ready to let loose to kill the enemy; and the last of her right arms was firmly pointed forward, completing the entire image that radiated a strong devouring aura, unmatched by anybody else in the world.
Not to mention facing the real thing, even in the face of this statue, people would feel their inferiority in their hearts.
In front of the Conquering Queen, even the Great Leaders of Heaven Realm, or even the Central Palace Hall would have to lower their proud heads, let alone the common folk.
Unlike ordinary cities, Conqueror’s City did not have formal business or trade areas like ordinary cities. Even the residential area was set up very similarly to a military camp. The people walking on the streets were not ordinary people… Even the old beggars lying on the ground in rags, whimpering and sleeping, or the physically handicapped old fogeys who were sweeping away the snow with a broom all had strength above Heaven Rank, Level 5, and some were several times more powerful than Lord Ling Yun. Nonetheless, here they were just sweepers, or even like an old beggar.
Without Heaven Rank strength, one would not dare to step foot in this city at all because they would lose their minds and become insane due to their inferiority..
Here, if you randomly picked someone on the streets, no matter if it was the hotel owner with a stomach bigger than a toad standing by the door; or the drunken man who was so drunk that he was propping himself up against the wall and vomiting all over the place; or the draconic transporter offering potential customers a ride on his Heaven Rank Earth Dragon; or the shopkeeper who smiles professionally at the sight of people; or the hunter who is carrying a snow bear on his naked back; or the woodcutter who is pus.h.i.+ng a cart piled high with firewood; or the little girl who is selling snow malt sweets along the street; or the hawker who is carrying a huge load of windmills while ringing a bell to attract customers… Not one of them had a strength less than Heaven Rank.
Moreover, Heaven Rankers here are a bit different from ordinary Heaven Rankers. Their countenances all emanated a killing intent that was not present in normal Heaven Rankers.
Although this was normally completely repressed, the slightest bit of accidental leakage would cause people’s hearts to shudder.
Lord Ling Yun was the sovereign of a country and he possessed peak Heaven Rank, Level 5 strength, close to Heaven Rank, Level 6, but here, the streets were filled with people who were stronger than him, and as long as that person had the appearance of an old man or woman, their strength was at Heaven Rank, Level 5 or above. The younger the appearance, the weaker the strength, like that little girl who was selling snow malt sweets, she was the weakest one among the folk of Conqueror’s City, only at Heaven Rank, Level 1.
Possessing similar Heaven Rank, Level 1 strength, Lord Ling Yun estimated that with just one finger, this little girl could easily take out Tudor who was at the same level of strength.
The airs.h.i.+ps and flying carriages that were parked outside Conqueror’s City were too many to count.
It was estimated that these people came for the ancient ruins and came to wors.h.i.+p ‘Conquering Queen’ on their way.
But for those below Heaven Rank, except for Fatty Hai and Ye Kong, ordinary mercenaries from Heaven Realm would not dare to enter the city, even for a Heaven Ranker like Tudor, since entering the city, he had kept on bowing to pay respects to the pa.s.sing experts that his back had not once been straightened.
Looking up at the giant statue, the majestic form of Empress Fei Wen Li’s iconic ‘Where I point, I conquer’ gesture completely overshadowed the sky, and made the weak tremble so much so they could hardly restrain themselves.
“Let’s find a place to have a drink.”
