Chapter 559: The incomparably huge forbidden zone
From the Education Department to the martial arts a.s.sociation, Fang ping did not fly or take a bus.
He and old man Li walked on the street, watching the people come and go.
Fang ping sighed softly."Other people go shopping with girls. I"m shopping with an old man ... Sigh!"
Old man Li looked at him. Just like that, he kept looking.
This brat was speaking ill of him now without hiding anything. He was very arrogant!
Fang ping did not care about the look in his eyes. He looked around and suddenly chuckled."Instructor, do you prefer the environment in the catacombs or the environment you have right now?"
"There"s no one who doesn"t desire peace. "
Old man Li said softly,"it"s the same even for martial artists!" Do you like a world where you can"t even live in peace, an environment where you can be killed while you"re sleeping?
A suitable amount of hot-bloodedness, death, and chaos could all be tolerated.
However, if one was in such an Environment day and night, even a martial artist would collapse.
"Actually, all these years, some of the martial artists who are permanently stationed in the catacombs have ... Really gone crazy.
"Many of the high-ranked martial artists you"ve seen today might look gentle and refined on the surface, but in reality, they might be perverts. There"s nothing we can do about that."
"That"s true. Being in a tense state for a long time can indeed make one collapse."
Fang ping laughed. Just like him, the time he had spent in the catacombs was very short.
"However, every time I go to the catacombs, I don"t sleep or rest. How would I dare to sleep?
He had to maintain the highest level of vigilance at all times to prevent himself from dying without knowing why.
"Now that you"ve said that, I can understand department head Zhang"s words. Perhaps ... I do want to separate the Yang family from Jue Yan, where the Yang family fell. "He"s been guarding Mount Royal sea for hundreds of years. Faced with the threat of the catacombs "peak, he"s probably under immense pressure.
I don"t like the other members of the Yang family, but I can"t deny the contribution of that Yang family senior. "
"This is how martial artists should be. You should clearly distinguish between kindness and hatred, but you must also recognize the reality."
Fang ping exhaled and said,"it"ll be difficult for me to meet the Yang family again, except for that Yang Qing!" If he doesn"t come to me for revenge, then I won"t go to the Yang family!
But if it"s him ... Then you can"t blame me for breaking the Yang family"s last hope!"
Old man Li narrowed his eyes and said,"when martial artists fight, don"t involve family!" The evil sect was the one that harmed the family! Before he makes a move on you, you"d better not make a move, even if he"s a threat.
"In fact, you don"t have to be afraid of him. I believe that you"ll catch up to him very soon. He"s just a rank-7 martial artist.
"There are a lot of high ranks in the catacombs, and they"re all threats. You can"t kill them all.
It"s fine as long as you"re on guard, don"t be so silly as to let go of your grudges with a smile ..."
Fang ping could not help but laugh."I"m not that stupid. The first time I entered the catacombs, my teacher taught me that once I enter the catacombs, I should not trust anyone, even if they"re all human!
Unless it"s an official mission or a large-scale battle, you have to be on your guard when you encounter them in the wild. "
"It"s good that you can remember this ..."Old man Li said in a low voice."I can"t follow you to the restricted area this time. Be careful. He couldn"t completely trust those people in Star Town City, but he couldn"t not trust them either.
This included several people from the military department, including li Yiming and the others. After all, they were closely related to Star Town City, so he should not trust them easily.
As for Du Hong, he was standing on the national level and the big picture!
If he had a choice, he would choose to sacrifice you or the descendants of more than ten top masters in star suppression city.
There was no need to blame anyone, this was the reality.
Of course, if a powerhouse like Du Hong were to choose, it"s only natural that he would choose to sacrifice himself to protect you.
So, you can disagree with Du Hong"s ideas, but don"t cause him trouble.
Kid, I don"t know what will happen in the restricted area, but unless it"s a last resort ... You"re not allowed to attack your own people!"
Fang ping said helplessly,"instructor, am I that kind of person?" "To be honest, other than the catacombs "martial artists, have you ever seen me being ruthless to my own people, especially those from the same camp, unless the other party has really crossed my bottom line and threatened the lives of me and my family?"
Old man Li shot him a glance. After a moment, he said, I just don"t want you to really become a selfish martial artist. Keep your bottom line, Fang ping. As long as you don"t cross that last bottom line ...
"This old man can"t represent mcmau, but at least I can represent myself. I"ll always be on your side when you need me.
Everything I"m saying today is not because you"ve saved me a few times. This old man hopes that you can go further!
"I hope that one day, you can tell the world that you, Fang ping, have made a great contribution to mankind!
I hope that one day, you can be like the top and be respected by the world!
"We admire the top powerhouses, not because they are powerful, but because they are powerful and still do not forget humanity and righteousness!
This is my last request to you, a request from a teacher!"
"I"ll remember that!"
Fang ping nodded. Everyone had a bottom line.
For martial artists, the stronger they were, the more tolerant they were. People like Zhang Tao and Wu kuishan actually had a tolerance that ordinary people rarely had.
"What you said makes sense. Even if you"re a rank-3, you can scold them to their faces. They don"t care. Perhaps they"ll even learn from you humbly.
Tian Mu had scolded Zhang Tao in front of a large group of grandmasters, and he had scolded him more than once.
Even so, Zhang Tao didn"t care.
Li Zhen"s face was valuable, but he, Zhang Tao, was known as a martial King. Was his face not valuable?
If he really cared, he could kill Tian Mu with a slap and no one would say anything.
But Zhang Tao didn "T. He just laughed it off.
As for Fang Ping, he often clamored to beat up this and that, including rank-1 and rank-2, clamoring to cut Tang Feng down every day. Did Tang Feng care?
If he really cared, with his status, he could just Fire Fang ping casually before he became the president of the martial arts Society. No one would speak up for Fang ping, not even Lu fengrou.
Tolerance ... Fang ping was deep in thought.
"It seems that if old Zhang"s grandson really enters mcmau, I"ll have to be more tolerant. Three beatings a day ... I"ll just have to change it to one beating a day.
……
5th of June.
On the way to Yunmeng mountain, a bus was moving at high speed.
In the car.
Jiang Chao said lazily,"what mission? what operation deployment? just ask Du Hong and Fang ping to go. Why do you want us to go with you? why did you have to go so far ..."
"Shut up!"
Su Haoran lightly scolded with an unfriendly face, "I"ve already told your grandfather everything about you. He said that if you embarra.s.s the Jiang family again ..."
Jiang Chao yawned and mumbled,""Just kill me. If you kill me, I won"t have to go to the catacombs anymore."
"You!"
Su Haoran"s face was full of anger. He had been tortured by this b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
Su Haoran made up his mind. Just this one time!
The next time he led a team out, if he still led a team, he would just kill himself.
How many things had happened when he brought his men out this time?
Just when su Haoran was annoyed, Jiang Chao didn"t continue to look for trouble. He looked around and laughed,"Fang ping, come and have a chat. I know a big secret ..."
In the front row, Fang ping tilted his head and glanced at him, smiling."What secret?"
"It"s about the resurrected martial artists ..."
"Cough cough!"
Su Haoran coughed lightly. Jiang Chao didn"t think much of it,"Grandpa su, it"s nothing. We"re just casually chatting. We"re just bored anyway."
Fang Ping"s interest was piqued. He asked,"So what if he"s a resurrected martial artist?"
"Nothing much. I was beaten up by you guys last time, so I went back and checked the information of resurrected martial artists. I didn"t know about this before, but I found out later that there was a mountain in Star Town, and on the mountain, there was ..."
"Enough!"
"These things, when they go to star suppression city, they will naturally know. You don"t need to show off!" Su Haoran frowned.
After saying that, su Haoran said to Fang ping,"last time, I invited you guys to star suppression city, but you guys didn"t go. This matter has been delayed." Of course, it was better not to go now. After all ...
"When you"ve reached rank-7, you"ll still need to make a trip to Star Town City.
You will have a chance to improve your martial arts if you go to star suppression city.
Of course, that might not be the case. It could only be said to depend on luck.
"I"m not telling you now not to hide anything, but because I don"t want to affect you. Many resurrected martial artists have some problems in their martial Dao cultivation because they know some things in advance ..."
Su Haoran simply explained with a few words,"What Jiang Chao knows is only hearsay. Don"t be disturbed by him."
Jiang Chao seemed a little bored, but he soon found something to talk about. He chuckled and said,""Fang ping, Star Town City has actually recruited many resurrected martial artists as son-in-law. You guys, consider it? Although there are only me and my pervert in the direct line of descent of the Jiang clan, there are people in the other branches of my clan!
Why don"t you all become my relatives?
My cousins are all very pretty ..."
"Shut up!"
Su Haoran really wanted to beat him to death. You"re a pimp again?
Jiang Chao was speechless,"Grandpa su, this isn"t a big deal, right?" Martial artists were not Saints. Even Saints had to get married and have children, right? My Jiang family"s bloodline is good, and my cousins are all beautiful.
"Besides, you"ve seen it for yourself. Four grandmasters-in-training ... If they really become my relatives, there"s nothing wrong with that, right?
Or is it ..."
Jiang Chao looked at him suspiciously, then at su Zisu and muttered,""You want to marry Zisu off?"
Su Haoran was so angry that his liver hurt. He no longer talked nonsense and directly reached out his hand to wave at him!
This time, Jiang Chao shut up and leaned back in his chair, not moving.
When a rank-9 made a move, even if Jiang Chao had accessories that could cut off spiritual power, it was useless. He was instantly shackled.
This time, su Haoran was at ease.
The other people in Star Town City also felt comfortable.
This guy couldn"t stay idle and would nag when he had nothing to do. They were all tired of hearing him.
……
Fang ping and the others did not care about Jiang Chao, but they had more expectations for Star Town City.
"There"s a chance to improve my strength if I go to Star Town City?"
What was the relations.h.i.+p between Star Town City and the resurrected martial artists?
Why did Star Town City recruit a group of resurrected warriors so early?
However, since su Haoran didn"t say anything, they didn"t ask anymore.
Soon, they arrived at the Yunmeng mountain.
This was where the capital city"s military department was located. Similarly, it was also where the entrance to the catacombs was. The entrance to the capital city"s catacombs was located in this area.
As soon as Fang ping and the others arrived, someone came to receive them.
It was not Lee deyong, but another deputy commander who had just broken through to rank-9, Guo Xuan.
"Master su!"
"Commander Guo!"
“……”
Both parties exchanged pleasantries for a while. This time, old man Li and the others didn"t follow. Only su Haoran sent everyone over.
After both parties were done with their greetings, Guo Xuan said,""Leave them to us. They can leave in three days."
"Sorry for the trouble, commander Guo ..."
Su Haoran exchanged some pleasantries with the crowd and quickly left.
There were many powerhouses in the capital"s military department, so there was no need to worry about everyone"s safety.
As soon as su Haoran left, Guo Xuan sized up the crowd. He should know Du Hong and a few others, so he didn"t say anything. Finally, he looked at Yao Chengjun and smiled,"Do you know me?"
Yao Chengjun nodded. He did not say much, but he still said,"Good day, princ.i.p.al."
"It"s been 20 years ..."
Guo Xuan sighed with emotion. As he beckoned everyone to walk in, he said with a smile,"I haven"t heard anyone call me princ.i.p.al for many years. 20 years ago, I left the first military school and entered the military department. I haven"t been back much these years.
Now, princ.i.p.al Nan has actually sent me an undergraduate from the Military Academy. I have to say that this is beyond my expectations.
You can consider coming to the military if you come back alive after entering the restricted area. "
Fang ping was a little surprised. He did not expect this person to be the former princ.i.p.al of the first military school. It seemed that the first military school"s backing was not weak either.
Guo Xuan only said a few words. Without waiting for Yao Chengjun"s reply, he led the group into the depths of the military camp.
Around them, many military martial artists looked at them curiously.
Guo Xuan didn"t chase them away. He brought them to a large room that looked like a cla.s.sroom and said,""This is the place where everyone usually studies. The military will explain everything to you in the next three days.
Three days later, you can leave, or you can stay here and wait for the others to gather and enter the Forbidden Zone together. "
Fang ping could not help but ask,"do you still need three more days to study?"
"Not bad. There"s more to learn this time. Even though there are some things that you won"t be involved in this time, I still have to tell you. "
Guo Xuan explained,"it includes the organization of some forces in the Forbidden Zone, the cultural knowledge, and what you have to do and what you should do after entering the Forbidden Zone ..."
Fang ping did not ask any further. Since he was going to teach, he would naturally know when the time came.
……
Guo Xuan brought everyone to look around the cla.s.sroom for a while. Then, he brought them to the rest area, the dining area, and the training area for a look.
The rank-9 powerhouse was showing them around the campsite, which was considered to be giving them a lot of respect.
Martial artists never procrastinated when they did things.
After familiarizing themselves with the situation, Fang ping and the others quickly returned to their previous cla.s.sroom.
At this moment, there was already someone waiting in the cla.s.sroom. It was a rank-7 martial artist who did not look very old.
Guo Xuan exchanged a few words with this rank-7 and left very quickly. He was not a teacher who taught these things.
With a rank-7 as a teacher, this also meant that the military department valued this knowledge.
After everyone was seated, the young Grandmaster in front of the podium smiled and said,""Let me introduce myself. I"m Zhang Peng ..."
Below the stage, Fang ping said casually,"also surnamed Zhang ..."
He was just saying it casually. These days, he couldn"t forget that old Zhang had taken five of his divine weapons.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Peng smiled and said,"yes, my surname is Zhang. The Zhang that you called" old Zhang. ""
The corner of Fang Ping"s mouth twitched. Beside him, li Yiming yawned and said, "That"s enough. Isn"t he just department head Zhang"s grandson? It"s not like I don"t know you ..."
Zhang Peng"s face, which had been full of smiles earlier, instantly changed. He reprimanded,""Li Yiming! General Li, mind your att.i.tude! Many of the people here are your superiors. Who gave you the right to interrupt when your superiors are talking?"
Fang ping was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He said hurriedly, "He"s a Lieutenant?"
"Yes, general Fang."
Zhang Peng smiled. His att.i.tude toward Fang ping was not bad.
We"re both generals, including Du Hong, who also has a general rank.
As for li Yiming, Yao Chengjun, and the other two, they were all lieutenants.
In the military department, there was a clear distinction between superiors and subordinates. No one would go against the rules, because the military department was a place that followed rules. If they did not follow the rules here, how would they lead the others in the catacombs?
"He"s a Lieutenant ..."
Fang ping looked at li Yiming in surprise. Then, he straightened his back and glanced at li Yiming in a slightly reserved manner.
So you"re a Lieutenant? I thought you were a general!
If I had known earlier, I would have shown you my authority as a superior.
Li Yiming"s expression turned ugly, but he did not say anything. Did the Lieutenant eat your food?
Zhang Peng, this fellow, had actually exposed him. He would settle the score with him sooner or later.
Zhang Peng ignored him and continued to smile.""For the next three days, I will explain some general knowledge about the restricted area to you. If you don"t understand anything, you can ask me ..."
"General Zhang, why didn"t you go to the Wu "an Army?" Fang ping asked immediately.
"It"s a matter of personal choice, but it doesn"t mean that I have to go to the Wu an Army. "
Zhang Peng said casually and quickly added,""Let"s get back to the main topic. This time, everyone is heading to the restricted area. The danger is not small, so we can"t be careless. "
With that, Zhang Peng waved his hand, and a map appeared in front of everyone.
Zhang Peng said,"this is a rough map of the restricted area. We haven"t explored much of the restricted area, so it"s not complete. Take a look first."
Fang ping lowered his head to take a look. This time, Fang ping was a little stunned!
The defensive Sea Mountain really did surround the entire forbidden zone!
The defensive Sea Mountain was like a ring of light that covered the entire forbidden zone.
Fang ping found it hard to imagine how majestic Mount calming sea was!
A region"s width was roughly more than 5000 miles on average from east to west. Magic city"s catacombs was even close to 10000 miles wide!
"Of course, some regions are slightly smaller and have fewer cities, such as Tiannan catacombs.
But even if they were all 5000 miles, then the 108 domains ... 270000 kilometers, a circ.u.mference of 540000 miles?
This ... This is a mountain?
A mountain that could be man-made?
On earth, the longest mountain range was less than 20000 miles long!
If the defensive Sea Mountain was considered a restricted area, how big would it be?
Fang Ping"s brain worked quickly, and he mumbled,"The Forbidden Zone ... Is at least five billion square kilometers ... This ... This is too big!"
"General Fang, you"ve underestimated the size of the Forbidden Zone," Zhang Peng said with a smile."The Forbidden Zone should be more than 6 billion square kilometers, and the surface area of earth is less than 600 million square kilometers. So, the Forbidden Zone"s area should be more than 10 times the size of earth.
Of course, this was normal. After all, the 108 Outlands alone were unimaginably large.
It"s only natural that the Forbidden Zone is so big. After all, the outer region is just the outer region, not the core region. "
Fang ping shook his head. The restricted zone was considered an irregular oval, and this oval had a maximum length and width of more than 90000 kilometers!
Even if he kept flying at the speed of sound, at a speed of over 1200 km/h.
In other words, if an expert were to maintain the speed of sound in the air, they would need to fly for at least 70 to 80 hours to get from one end to the other!
Flying at the speed of sound for 70 to 80 hours, not to mention Fang ping, even rank-8 and 9 powerhouses would collapse.
A rank-9 powerhouse could fly at the speed of sound for nearly four days to reach the other end from one end. It was no wonder that such a huge world could give birth to so many powerhouses.
Fang ping suddenly asked,"how many people are there in the restricted zone?"
"Not a lot, just about 10 billion."
"There are many places in the Forbidden Zone that are actually dangerous and uninhabitable," Zhang Peng said with a smile. Although their area was beyond imagination, their population was only slightly more than earth "s.
Usually, there would be no man"s land that was tens of thousands of miles or even larger.
"Of course, this is only a speculation we made based on some of the information we have at present. There might be more people.
After all, according to the number of powerhouses, their population should be slightly higher.
The Forbidden Zone was a little chaotic. The four imperial courts were only the largest representative forces among them. There were also countless strong people who occupied the mountains and ruled the land.
In the catacombs, the four imperial courts each occupied a territory. There were borders and empty areas.
New forces would also be born in the void zone.
There were rank-9 powerhouses who had their own territories and called themselves Kings and ancestors.
There were also peak experts who occupied a piece of land and established a dynasty or sect.
Some of these forces would listen to the orders of the Royal Court, while some would not care about the Royal Court"s orders and would do whatever they wanted.
In the restricted area, chaotic fights often happen ..."
Zhang Peng continued his introduction. Fang ping, on the other hand, was looking at the map, thinking about something. The world"s apex was guarding Mount Royal sea.
There were only about 50 paragons in the world, which meant that each Paragon had to suppress an area of tens of thousands of miles.
It was no wonder that these peak cultivators felt too much pressure.
Ten thousand kilometers was simply too vast!
The East and West of China were only about 10000 miles long. It was equivalent to a mountain peak guarding a huge mountain range that spanned the north and south of China.
What Fang ping did not know was that across tens of thousands of miles, these peaks could still communicate with each other even if they were close.
If he knew ... Fang ping would look down on Wu Chuan and the other rank-9s.
"You"re both rank-9S. You might as well call yourselves fake rank-9s!
Back when Fang ping was in the Nanjiang catacombs, the Jiang clan"s patriarch, the battle King, had communicated with the peaks in the nearby areas to suppress the powerhouses in the Forbidden Zone together.
Of course, it was also related to the close distance between the two sides. Some peaks didn"t cross the two regions, but there were also peaks in neighboring regions.
Even if Fang ping did not know, he could roughly feel it now.
One person guarding ten thousand miles of land, the Forbidden Zone did not dare to enter the outer zone, the power of the peak could be seen!
……
On the stage, Zhang Peng was still explaining the general situation to the crowd.
The Forbidden Zone had Royal Courts, imperial dynasties, cities, sects, and family clans. Not only that, there were also forbidden grounds for the demons!
The demon clan"s forces in the Forbidden Zone were also terrifyingly powerful.
Among the four Royal Courts, The Guardian Royal Court and the thousand Goblin Royal Court both belonged to the demon race. Among the four Royal Courts, The Guardian Royal Court was actually the weakest, and the thousand Goblin Royal Court was the most chaotic. Other than these two gathering places of the demon race, there were also some powerful demon races that had formed their own forces and were extremely powerful.
