141 Arrival at Wuhun CityWuhun City is thousands of kilometers away from Tiandou City. The carriage traveled for more than twenty days and finally arrived outside Wuhun City.
Unexpectedly, they did not encounter the kind of attacks described in the original novel along the way, nor did they encounter any incidents of Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo leading their men to launch a sneak attack on the participating players. I wonder if the Spirit Hall has other plans, or if it has great confidence in the participating players.
Yang Ping'an did not want to ask so many questions. This team had two Titled Douluo, Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo, in addition to Ning Fengzhi, the world's number one assistant, as well as Soul Douluo like Long Gong and Titan. There were also many masters accompanying them in secret. There were many Soul Douluo beside Prince Xue Qinghe alone. If they really wanted to launch a sneak attack, two Titled Douluo would definitely not be enough.
The Spirit Hall has always wanted to hide its strength, and is reluctant to expose the strength of its many titled Douluo. This is why there were no masters appearing in the early stage of the original novel, but a large number of Titled Douluo suddenly appeared in the later stage, and after a period of paralysis, they finally killed the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family by surprise.
When they arrived at Wuhun City, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the guards. They had been on edge for twenty days and had no time to rest.
Yang Ping'an was also amazed when he looked at the majestic Wuhun City.
Judging from the size and area of the city alone, Wuhun City should be much smaller than Tiandou City. However, from a distance, it is actually built on a high mountain. As a result, the difficulty of construction is probably even greater than that of Tiandou City.
The entire Wuhun City is hexagonal in shape, with a city wall that is eighty meters high and thirty meters wide. It was definitely built as a military stronghold, especially on a mountain, making it easier to defend and more difficult to attack. The stones used to build it are all thick granite, which further demonstrates its powerful defense.
Yang Ping'an had read ancient books before. According to the records, this Wuhun City was actually built ten thousand years ago. It was originally built on the mountain to resist the attacks of soul beasts. Now, after ten thousand years of repair and maintenance, it not only shows the style of dominating the world, but also shows a sense of vicissitudes.
Especially in the center of Wuhun City, there is a huge angel statue. The kind and majestic angel holds a magic sword in his hand, as if overlooking the entire Wuhun City. Especially the angel statue, it actually emits bursts of light, making the residents of Wuhun City appear more relaxed and comfortable.
According to regulations, soldiers from the Tiandou Empire were not allowed to enter the Wuhun City. There were only a small number of high-level soul masters left around Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, so he led everyone into the Wuhun City.
All major forces attached great importance to this Soul Master Competition. The Spirit Hall even specially built a new competition venue. It was obvious that they had made sufficient preparations, and it could even be said that countless manpower and resources had been spent.
The participating teams are divided according to the two empires and are located in different hotels. The hotels are very luxurious and each person has an independent single room, and there are even corresponding rooms for practicing tactics.
However, Yang Ping'an's goal was not these trivial matters, but he wanted to see the situation in Wuhun City, so he wandered around Wuhun City alone.
Just as Yang Ping'an expected, the entire Wuhun City seemed very peaceful, with everyone bustling about. Almost everyone had a smile on their face or a very calm expression, at least it looked like a prosperous time.
Especially since Wuhun City does not have any slaves, it is the only place among all the major cities without slaves. Even ordinary low-level personnel seem to live much more peacefully than other places.
Yang Ping'an randomly found a place and was about to eat. As soon as the food was served, he unexpectedly ran into the little witches Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
The two little girls were not polite and sat directly on Yang Ping'an's desk without any intention of being polite.
Yang Pingan couldn't help but smile: "My two classmates, aren't your teams preparing for the final battle later? How come I can still meet you here?"
Ning Rongrong asked directly, "Brother Yang, aren't you alone too? Don't you, a main force, need to prepare a battle plan?"
Yang Pingan shook his head: "It's just a big competition. We have already prepared everything we need to prepare. There is nothing special to prepare now. We might as well relax. I always think that this Wuhun City is pretty good. After all, it's my first time here."
Ning Rongrong pouted: "Actually, this is my first time in Wuhun City. My father refused to bring me here before. Zhuqing is also here for the first time, so we want to take a look around first. Anyway, we still have three days to arrange our tactics."
Yang Pingan nodded casually: "This is also good. It's fate that we are having a meal together in a strange place. Just consider it my treat."
The meal was rather casual, and no one in Wuhun City dared to relax and drink.
After they finished eating, Ning Rongrong seemed a little surprised and asked, "Brother Yang, don't you usually care about what's happening outside? Are you so casual now?"
Yang Pingan became a little more interested: "Ning, what do you mean by that? Am I any different from other people?"
Ning Rongrong shook her head: "I always feel that you are very strange, Brother Yang, you don't seem to care about anything. Do you know that the reward for this Soul Master Competition is three top-grade soul bones? Aren't you interested?"
Yang Pingan nodded: "I have heard about this news, but whether it is a soul bone or not should not matter to us. After all, if the Spirit Hall took out these three soul bones, they must be sure to take them back. Otherwise, wouldn't they be giving away treasures?"
Ning Rongrong had a bit of a sneer on her face: "My father said the same thing, saying that the Spirit Hall team is very strong and is known as the golden generation, and there are three Soul Kings. But I think that Brother Yang, you are so strong that it should be no problem to beat a Soul King."
Yang Pingan thought about it for a moment, then shook his head: "If it was just one Soul King, I could still barely contend with it, but now there are three, how can a Soul Sect leader like me contend with them?"
Ning Rongrong's face showed a hint of deep meaning: "Brother Yang, just pretend. I think you are the best at pretending in the entire Soul Master Competition. And according to my father, you probably haven't even used your full strength."
Yang Pingan just smiled: "Did Sect Master Ning say anything about me? How did he evaluate me?"
Ning Rongrong rarely looked serious. "Brother Yang, please don't tell anyone about my father's evaluation of you. According to my father, you have only shown 60% to 70% of your strength at most. According to his and Grandpa Jian's estimation, you have at least the strength of a mid-level Soul King. If you fight for your life, you may even have the strength of a top Soul King. I just don't know if you are willing to show your true strength."
Yang Pingan smiled and shook his head: "Master Ning really thinks too highly of me. I don't have that kind of strength."
Ning Rongrong showed a look of seeing through, "Just pretend. My father also said that if you pretend to be so deep, you must have some ulterior motive or you are seeking revenge. It is obvious that your purpose is definitely not simple."
"By the way, Brother Yang, our Qibao Glazed Tile Sect's Qibao City is also quite fun, and is definitely not worse than this Wuhun City. You can go to our Qibao City to play when you have time. You can also tell me what your purpose is. Grandpa Jian will definitely help you fulfill your wish."
Yang Pingan just shook his head: "What purpose can an ordinary person like me have? Sect Master Ning may be thinking a little too much."
Zhu Zhuqing at the side suddenly spoke up: "Student Yang, last time you talked about changing your fate, was that for revenge? How can we truly change our fate?"
Yang Pingan pondered for a while before speaking: "Student Zhu Zhuqing, I also understand your situation. Maybe you think your family is an abyss, but sometimes the abyss and light are only a moment apart. It all depends on your own choice and how you deal with it."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head: "Student Yang, my life has been full of danger since I was a child. My family, especially my sister, only brings danger to me. Family is like an abyss, where can there be any light?"
Yang Pingan shook his head: "Perhaps in your eyes, the family is like an abyss, but that's because you have never seen a more cruel place in the world."
"The Zhu family, an aristocratic family of the Xingluo Empire, has provided you with so much even though it is dark and full of struggles internally."
"You can compare them to the ordinary civilians in the middle of the road. They may have been born in the countryside or in the market. They have no family, no cultivation techniques, no luxurious clothes and food. Even becoming a spirit master is a luxury, not to mention the large number of slaves in the Tiandou Empire and Xingluo Empire. They may have been trained as slaves since birth."
"Do you think you are relatively lucky compared to them?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zhu Zhuqing was silent at this time, but after a long time she slowly spoke: "I don't want these things now at all. I hope to be in a civilian and harmonious family, at least a happy family, without sisters killing each other."
Yang Pingan couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone has their own sufferings. You were born into an aristocracy and received the highest level of education. You can't understand the pain of ordinary people at all."
"No matter how bad the Zhu family is, they have provided you with a good environment to grow up in, provided you with the relatively good martial spirit of the Nether Spirit Cat, and provided you with the top qualification of the seventh level of innate soul power."
"If you think these are not enough, you can imagine my childhood. My parents died when I was four, and I didn't have any relatives to rely on at home. When I was six, I awakened my innate soul power to half a level, and I only had a few silver soul coins in my hand. You can imagine and compare this kind of life."
"Besides, even though you feel that fate is unfair, your family has already provided you with the capital to fight against fate. It just depends on whether you are willing to do so or whether you are willing to give up."
Zhu Zhuqing was shocked: "How is this possible? Why don't I know that there is such a capital?"
Yang Pingan smiled slightly: "In fact, given your current situation, you are just unwilling in your heart. You are unwilling to give up the shackles of your family, unwilling to truly break away from the Zhu family that raised you, and unwilling to give up your glimmer of hope of becoming the queen. Otherwise, you have many ways to go."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head: "This is impossible. You may not understand that it is the power of the Nether Spirit Cat Zhu family. No one in the entire Douluo Continent can resist the Xingluo Empire."
Yang Pingan said with a half-smile: "Really? Do you feel that you can't get rid of it, or have you never thought about it at all?"
"Although the Zhu family is powerful, or the Xingluo Empire is powerful, it cannot unify the world, let alone cover the sky with one hand."
"Believe it or not, just talk to Ning Rongrong next to you. As long as you join the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, ask Senior Sword Douluo or Sect Master Ning to write a letter to the head of the Nether Spirit Cat Zhu family, clearly stating that you will withdraw from the Zhu family and withdraw from the fight between the Xingluo royal family from now on. No one will dare to harass you again."
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were suddenly shocked, as if the method Yang Pingan mentioned was indeed feasible. No matter how powerful the Xing Luo Empire was, they could not offend the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for a little girl from the Zhu family.
Zhu Zhuqing was confused for a while: "This seems to be feasible, but if I do this, won't I have to give up everything, even Dai Mubai?"
Yang Pingan couldn't help but smile: "Yes, it is true that you have to give up a lot of things, but for your so-called freedom, are you reluctant to give it up? Of course, if one day you cultivate to the level of a Titled Douluo, all of this can be taken back, and the Zhu family may even ask you to come back."
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked, "Can Dai Mubai do the same?"
Yang Pingan shook his head: "Dai Mubai's situation is completely different from yours. He is a prince and it is impossible for him to join other forces, unless that force is strong enough to ignore the Xingluo Empire. There is no force of this level on the continent for the time being."
"But think about it, if it weren't for the Xing Luo Emperor's tacit consent, would Dai Mubai be able to escape the control of the Xing Luo Empire's royal family? Would he be able to practice leisurely in the Tian Dou Empire and participate in the Soul Master Competition? I'm afraid all this is Xing Luo Emperor trying to find a way out for his youngest son."
The two of them were silent for a while after hearing this, and Ning Rongrong suddenly spoke up: "Zhu Qing, you can rest assured about your affairs. As long as my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is still here, whether you join or not, I will not let others bully you."
Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about the questions and solutions raised by Yang Ping'an. Perhaps he really could not give up the ties of his family.
Yang Ping'an just shook his head silently. He still had a lot of things to do and was just giving some suggestions as an outsider. However, if the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect faced a catastrophic disaster in the future, would it harm her instead?
