Chapter 131 Determination to Become Stronger

Lu Yan and Zhao Sirong explored the small village again and found nothing, not a single living person.

Not even a single living animal.

No real chickens or dogs are left.

"It is too difficult for ordinary people to survive in such a world."

Lu Yan sighed secretly.

Ordinary people are in danger.

No matter how hard you live, you may be killed by these strange beings for no apparent reason.

For example, the Wu Ling when he came to the mountain village, the spider demon he encountered when chasing Li Cangxin, and the weird ones now.

Entire villages and towns were wiped out in one day.

Of course, this may also be related to today's troubled times.

During the heyday of the Chu Dynasty, the country was powerful, strong men were like clouds, and armies of warriors suppressed the world. All evil spirits, martial spirits, and demons were wiped out or shrank away, and they did not dare to come out to stir up trouble.

Nowadays, in troubled times, the clans are fighting, and all kinds of monsters and monsters have emerged.

In today's world, who can bring peace to the world and restore the prosperous age of Chu?

It was precisely because the more he saw, knew, and experienced that Lu Yan became more determined to become stronger.

His current strength is pretty good, but if he encounters a master-level monster, or a monster more terrifying than a master, will he, like the people in this village, be slaughtered without any resistance? ?

The world is big.

There are seventy-two states in Dachu, and Xuanzhou is only one of them.

As for Xuanzhou, there are twenty-eight counties, and the six counties in Lingdong are only a corner of Xuanzhou.

He is still very small.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Lu Yan's mind.

"Brother Lu, how about you come with me to pick up Zhao Hao? I'm afraid he might also be ambushed."

Zhao Sirong said.

Lu Yan nodded.

The two left the busy witch village and headed towards the route Zhao Hao took to chase the weird ones, but they didn't go far when they saw Zhao Hao coming this way.

"Zhao Hao, are you okay?"

Seeing Zhao Hao, Zhao Sirong breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay. I've already killed that weirdo. By the way, what about you, have you killed that weirdo?"

Zhao Hao said.

"We chased into Manwu Village and encountered an ambush."

Zhao Sirong briefly told the story.

After Zhao Hao heard this, his expression changed and he said: "I didn't expect there was an ambush. Fortunately, Brother Lu helped me. Brother Lu, I wrongly blamed you before."

After saying this, Zhao Hao cupped his fists and bowed to Lu Yan.

"Brother Zhao, there is no need to do this. You are also eager to kill monsters. How can I blame you?"

Lu Yan smiled.

For some reason, when he looked at Zhao Hao, he always felt a little strange.

Especially when Zhao Hao looked at him when they first met, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

But he carefully looked at Zhao Hao and observed secretly, but found nothing unusual.

"Maybe I'm worrying too much."

Lu Yan said secretly.

"By the way, Brother Lu, are you going to Lingwang City?"

Zhao Sirong asked.

"Yes, now that the evil spirits are causing chaos, all the great clans have joined forces to fight against the evil spirits in Lingwang City. I also want to do my part."

Lu Yandao said with awe-inspiring justice.

"Brother Lu is righteous, Sirong admires him. We have been patrolling the surrounding area these days to prevent evil spirits from intruding into the rear. In a few days, we will be rotated back to Lingwang City. Why don't Brother Lu come with us?"

Zhao Sirong said.

"Of course that's good."

Lu Yan nodded.

Lu Yan would not miss the opportunity to connect with the Zhao family.

And looking at Zhao Sirong and Zhao Hao, they are not very old, no more than thirty years old at most, but with such cultivation, their status in the Zhao family must be high.

Making friends with them would be beneficial and harmless to him in obtaining the tempering determination.

The three of them returned to the previous wine shop and met up with their three subordinates.

The two big men and the woman who were poisoned before were able to control the poison with their blood pressure after a lot of force.

Zhao Sirong ordered one of his subordinates to take the three of them back to Lingwang City to find a doctor for help in removing the poison.

And they continued to patrol outside.

In the blink of an eye, three days later.

In the past three days, they did not encounter any evil spirits or monsters.

At this time, other teams came to replace Zhao Sirong and the others. Lu Yan followed Zhao Sirong, Zhao Hao and others towards Lingwang City.

Soon, a huge ancient city appeared in front.

This is the most majestic giant city Lu Yan has seen so far.

Neither Baicao City nor Nanyi City can compare with it.

The city wall is five feet high, blue-grey, thick and simple, and has experienced the precipitation of time.

From a distance, you can see groups of armed troops patrolling the city walls.

According to legend, Lingwang City was the royal city of a king of the Chu Dynasty thousands of years ago. The title of this king was Lingwang, hence the name.

Lingwang City faces south and faces north.

On the east and west sides, there are continuous mountains. They are dangerous and steep, and the walls stand thousands of feet high, making it difficult for ordinary people to overcome.

"Today, Yaoxie is in the north of Lingwang City. He usually hides in the mountains and will launch an attack at any time. The masters of the various sects gathered in Lingwang City and formed a stalemate with Yaxie."

Zhao Sirong explained.

Lu Yan looked puzzled and said, "Look at the terrain, although the mountains on both sides of Lingwang City are dangerous, they can't stop the evil spirits, right?"

Although the mountains on the east and west sides of Lingwang City are steep and difficult for ordinary people to climb, they absolutely cannot stop the limit-breaking warriors.

As for demons, most of them are transformed from ferocious birds and beasts. Their bodies are so powerful that they are even better than warriors. With their innate advantages, how can they stop them?

Why don't those demonic armies bypass both sides of Lingwang City and attack other places?

"Many people also find this strange. Those evil spirits seem to be staring at Lingwang City and insisting on destroying Lingwang City."

"And the army of demons and evils obeys the orders of the demon and evil king. Some people speculate that the demon and evil king wants to kill someone in Lingwang City, or that there is something in Lingwang City that attracts the demon and evil king."

Zhao Sirong explained.

As he talked, he walked and soon arrived at the city gate.

Naturally, there were heavy troops guarding the city gate, and they were all experts. Lu Yan glanced around and found several people with sharp eyes and strong auras. They were definitely strong men at the level of Wuhou.

Although Zhao Sirong and Zhao Hao are descendants of the Zhao family, they must undergo a strict inspection before entering the city.

Lu Yan was certainly no exception.

After checking, a few people were allowed into the city.

The streets are paved with bluestone and more than six feet wide.

On both sides of the street, the sound of the noisy market can be heard endlessly, and there are a wide variety of shops. People are coming and going, and it is full of vitality. It is a completely different world from the outside of the city.

In addition to ordinary people, many warriors can also be seen.

There is a big difference between warriors and ordinary people, because in the limit-breaking stage, the potential of the physical body is developed, and coupled with the consumption of martial arts, the body is often unusually tall.

Every time you break through the closed door, your body will get taller and stronger.

But after arriving at Wuhou Realm, this will not be the case.

In the Wuhou realm, what is developed is the potential deep in the bones. It is mainly about tempering the bones and condensing the body. It starts from the outside in and focuses on quality rather than volume.

Therefore, after Lu Yan broke through Wuhou, although he broke several levels in a row, his figure did not change much.

This is even more true after becoming a master, focusing on the tempering of the internal organs.

"Brother Lu, we have to go back and recover. I live in Mingxiang Mansion in Dongcheng. If anything happens, you can come to me at any time."

Zhao Sirong said.

"Okay, I'll bother Miss Sirong then."

Lu Yan nodded.

He actually wanted to ask Zhao Sirong about the 'Quenching Heart', but seeing Zhao Hao and three other people present, he couldn't ask.

The fewer people know about this, the better.

Don't worry, it's not too late to find Zhao Sirong another day.

"By the way, Brother Lu, in order to encourage warriors to hunt evil spirits, the Zhao family has issued corresponding rewards. If you kill a monster, you will have corresponding military exploits. You can use this to redeem your respective resources with my Zhao family. You killed two people before. If it is weird, I will report it truthfully."

"Also, in order to thank the warriors from various sects for coming to help, I, the Zhao family, will provide a large amount of martial arts food. All warriors who come to help can buy it at a 20% discount. This is much cheaper than outside. If Brother Lu is in need, can not miss."

Before leaving, Zhao Sirong said again.

"Thank you Miss Sirong for informing me."

Lu Yan clasped his fists.

These two points are indeed good, and can greatly increase the enthusiasm of warriors who come to help.

After saying goodbye, Zhao Sirong and Zhao Hao left.

Lu Yan wandered around the city alone. He might stay in Lingwang City for more than a day or two, so his first purpose was to find a place to stay.

Staying in an inn is out of the question.

He needs to practice. The scope of activities in the inn is too small. There is no private space, so he can't practice at all.

It is best to rent a separate house.

But after looking around a lot, I found out that all the separate courtyards were rented out.

Lu Yan wanted a spacious and quiet house with enough privacy for training, and other warriors also wanted it.

During this period, most of the clans in the six counties of Lingdong sent people to support them.

As a result, the number of warriors in Lingwang City increased dramatically, and the spacious courtyards had long been rented.

Some warriors even rented them to ordinary people's homes.

Ordinary people's homes can free up a few rooms, and the privacy is better than that of an inn.

Lu Yan had no choice but to find people in the city to rent a house.

After searching around, I finally found a suitable set.

The owner of the house is a tofu seller, and there are only three people, a couple in their thirties, and a seven or eight-year-old daughter, who looks sweet and cute, and whose nickname is Doufu.

This family has been making tofu for generations, and it is said that it has been passed down to the fifth generation. Therefore, the family is in a good situation, the house is quite large, and the privacy is relatively good.

Freeing up a few rooms for Lu Yan is enough for Lu Yan to practice on weekdays.

"Master Warrior, if you have anything to do on weekdays, just give me your instructions."

The owner of the house, named Zhou Xiang, is a simple and honest man with dark skin.

Behind Zhou Xiang, his daughter Doufu looked at Lu Yan curiously and fearfully. When Lu Yan looked at her, he quickly hid behind Zhou Xiang.

"I just have something to ask you. Do you know where I can buy martial arts food?"

Lu Yan asked.

"Two miles north of the door, there is a restaurant opened by Lord Zhao, which sells martial arts food."

Zhou Xiang answered honestly.

Lu Yan nodded. The dried martial arts food he brought had been finished long ago and he had to buy a batch of martial arts food.

Buying it at 20% off is still a good deal.

Anyway, I made a lot of money on the road.

After asking Zhou Xiang a few more questions, Lu Yan went out and headed north.

Zhao family's food and residence.

It is a very popular name, and many restaurants opened by wealthy families will have similar names.

Zhao Sirong was right. Foreign warriors could buy martial arts food at a 20% discount, and the second-level martial arts food only cost forty taels per kilogram.

Even though the Zhao family had a large amount of martial arts for sale, the supply was still in short supply. A Wuhou could only purchase ten kilograms of second-level martial arts in one day.

Please give me a monthly ticket and come over. Don’t pity me just because I’m handsome.
